Naps, Hockey & Shutter Island


The kids are napping so I'm catching up on blogs, working on posts for the week and watching hockey. I'm not a hockey fan, but didn't want to miss Team USA vs Team Canada. Is it too terribly wrong of me for wanting Canada to win?

My mom watched the kids last night. The Hero and I had dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant then went to see Shutter Island. I liked the eventual path of the storyline, but didn't like how long it took to get there. I think I need to see it again when I'm not so tired. Who am I kidding? I'm always tired.


If you've seen Shutter Island, what did you think of it?

It's why they call it retail therapy.


When I have a bad day or get angry, I buy things.

Today was one of those days.

Look what I bought!

The Talk of Tinseltown; Crack is Whack

Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, were photographed together in Venice over the weekend. The two are said to have reconciled early last year. Quick, Angie, ask him to babysit!


Kourtney Kardashian dumped her baby daddy, Scott Disick. I don't watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians so I don't know anything about Scott. If I had to guess, I'd say he's a wannabe actor, celebrity DJ or underwear model. Am I close?


After two years of dating, Hilary Duff is engaged. Boyfriend and hockey player, Mike Comrie, proposed over the weekend in Hawaii.


Interestingly enough, Nicole Richie told David Letterman she's engaged to Joel Madden. The two have actually been engaged for a while, but only acknowledged it publicly this week. Joel is Duff's ex.


Charlie Sheen's wife is reportedly back in rehab for a crack addiction. Brooke, didn't you know? Crack is whack!


Jesse James' dog went missing over three weeks ago. After several false alarms, Cinnabun was safely returned home. A pit bull named Cinnabun? Jesse, you're killing me with the preciousness.


Tiger Woods publicly admitted his transgressions on Friday. His heartfelt scripted apology made me weep vomit a little in my mouth.

She spins until she falls down.


It's been a long and strenuous week. I've been up late every night. Winter Olympics, I wish I knew how to quit you. I've been stressed to get things done at work. I'm going to Massachusetts for a conference tomorrow. I'll be back Wednesday night. I haven't flown in almost three years. I'm mostly looking forward to it. I've already bought snacks, glossy magazines and a few good reads. I will miss my family, but plan to spend my nights enjoying the peace and quiet of my hotel room.

Ms Britney Pic(s) of the Week; Candie's Girl



Britney Spears is working with Candie's again. Here are some shots from the new campaign. Doesn't she look great?








I love her hair like this. This makes me wonder. What exactly does Britney do when she leaves a photo shoot? Does she rip the extensions out as soon as she gets in the car? Why doesn't her hair stay like this?

PS - I want those shoes.

Wordful Wednesday; President's Day


I didn't have to work Monday. (Thank you, Presidents of the United States of America!) Instead of sitting around in my pajamas, I decided to venture out in the cold with the kids. We met up with some friends at McDonald's. After lunch, we headed to the Children's Museum. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, it started to snow. For those who may not know, Memphis doesn't get a lot of snow. This year, it has snowed three times!

The kids had a lot of fun. It wasn't easy keeping an eye on two kids, but I managed. I assumed they would be tired when we got home. I assumed wrong. Did they take a nap? No. Were they cranky? Yes. I didn't get in bed until 11. I didn't fall asleep until almost 1. While I was trying not to fall asleep at work yesterday, my kids were at home with The Hero. Guess what? They napped for him all day.

iLove Tuesday Tunes; Secret Garden


This is one of my favorite love songs. If you've seen Jerry Maguire, you'll recognize it.

She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

The Talk of Tinseltown; Vagina Valentine


Sources are saying Barbara Walters is shacking up with rumored beau, Frank Langella. Why is this news? Well, ol' Frank is Whoopi Goldberg's ex. Don't the ladies on The View have enough drama without sharing men?

I think Barbara should be scared. Whoopi will cut a bitch.


Sheryl Crow has signed on for a major recurring role on ABC's Cougar Town. Since she won't actually be playing a cougar, I don't have anything to say.


Sandra Bullock decided to do something special for her man on Valentine's Day.
"I decided for Valentine's Day I would do a special hair thing. I wanted to try to create a pink heart shape with my lower hair. It was painful. You had to bleach it first. There's something about bleach that feels like acid. Then I had to shave it. I was in so much pain, but I kept going and put the pink dye on and it went the wrong color."
Sandra, I hope it grows back.


John Mayer made an ass of himself in a recent Playboy interview. He said Jessica Simpson is like sexual napalm, Jennifer Aniston is afraid of technology and his penis only sleeps with white chicks. After being ripped in the media for his remarks, John broke down in tears at one of his concerts. Like Justin Timberlake says, "Cry me a river."


Valentine's Day was the number one movie at the box office this weekend. The chick flick made $54.2 million. It's a good thing. If they paid Julia Roberts $3 million for six minutes, I can only imagine what the other stars made.


Director Chris Nolan has confirmed it. A third Batman film is in development, and could be released as early as 2011. Yes!


Robert Pattinson was recently photographed with nude women for Details Magazine. When asked about the photoshoot, he said...
"I really hate vaginas. I'm allergic to vagina. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover."
I'm not even kidding. Look it up.

Have patience, my blogging buddies.


I've decided to move The Talk of Tinseltown to Mondays. In the past, I've waited until the last minute to put my post together so I could bring you the latest celebrity news. I've come to the realization that Thursday nights are too busy for me. Whose bright idea was it to put The Vampire Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, The Mentalist, and Project Runway on the same night anyway? Once Friday morning rolls around, I feel rushed. So, from now on, I'll spend the weekend preparing The Talk of Tinseltown.



Mondays just got a little bit brighter. You're welcome.
