Burning the candle at both ends since 1982.

I really dislike Tom Brady even though he is arguably the most attractive player in the NFL. I mean we're talking JT hot, but I still have to stick to my guns.

Not only was he instrumental in crushing my Chargers a couple weeks back, he is not the best example of what to do if your ex-girlfriend of about two weeks becomes pregnant.
(And now he's one of my Fantasy Football QBs - I didn't get to pick, but I'm not going to trade, he's too good.)

Anyway, OK! released the first photos of Bridet and Tom's baby, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, a very, very cute little munchkin. OK! is so dramatic, the cover says, "Life Without Daddy." That's a little intense - if I was Bridget I'd be pissed off. He's a cute little guy though.
I still really wish Bridget was on ABC's defeated series, Six Degrees. I am still crossing my fingers that it comes back, because it was a really great show.

And now I'm just going to throw in some more Sex and the City photos into the mix for fun. I think we're all going to be able to piece together the plot by the time this movie comes around if they keep releasing photos from the set.
This lovely rose ensemble is screaming, "Holy '80s, Carrie!" I had no idea that the Pretty Woman look was so back in style.

Having a hair stylist roommate, I like to talk about hair.

Especially bad hair.

I've decided the genetic cross-section of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis is not a good-looking thing right now. Rumer Willis apparently thought it was a good idea to bleach the eff out of her hair and chop it off. I beg to differ.

EEK!! Orange is NOT the new blond!
I don't know how Rumer's new BFF, Katharine McPhee, feels about this 'do. The two of them are filming House Bunny right now. Apparently, this flick will feature McPhee as an excommunicated Playboy bunny who takes over as house mom at a lame sorority. That's a Blockbuster rental for sure...

I have no idea what the former American Idol's music is like at this moment in time, but I really like her hair. Plus Katharine looked great on the cover of the June 2007 issue of Lucky Magazine.

And...she's very, very recently engaged! To her sorta greasy-looking 42-year-old fiancee! Congrats...?

Apparently I could devote this entire blog to Sex and the City fodder, and still have things to talk about every day. I haven't been posting all the photos and gossip, but apparently there's already catfighting on the set.


But I did have to post photos of SJP a.k.a. "Carrie" as a brunette.
Maybe this will again sway the Hollywood elite to the dark end of the hair color spectrum. They certainly are loving the "brond" thing right now, which I'm definitely trying to rock.
Does this mean I should go back to my unnatural, yet time-tested shade of Redken Coffee Bean? It certainly seems like the more, um, devoted SATC fans are enjoying her new hair color.

I was fortunate enough to take an extremely late lunch today that allowed me to rediscover an old friend of mine - Martha Stewart.


I used to watch The Martha Stewart Show religiously in college. Since I'm still relatively green to this whole DVR lifestyle, I forgot that a 2:00 p.m. air time doesn't mean I can't keep up. Today, Martha hosted the lovely Amy Sedaris while they fashioned cheese balls with covetable stainless steel kitchen mixers. Sigh. If Martha knows how to do anything, it's to make you feel inadequate.
This is a clip from Amy visiting the show a while back...they have a really funny rapport!


I believe my favorite moment in the episode from today was when Amy referred to A1 sauce as something like "bong water" and Martha asked, "Are you saying bog water?" Amy winked at the crowd and said, "Yes, Martha." It was like a mischevious child cooking with mom.
But anyway, Martha loves Halloween and I just love anything festive, so I thought I'd share a couple cute ideas she has for the season.

I love a good ribbing of a PR pitch, because it reminds me every day that what I do can not only be mocked by bored journalists - they can post it on a blog and the masses can make fun of my work!

So in that spirit, poor KFC made the mistake of extending an offer....or a fried chicken thigh... to the reportedly expecting Jennifer Lopez. The president offered her and her "entourage" an after party for her upcoming tour that might even be canceled due to her supposed bun in the oven. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer calls that the "greasiest, lamest after-party ever." Tres harsh!

I feel for KFC right now because I know that quite a few restaurant groups practice the art of creating relationships with VIPS...I know this because I've had to send out the VIP cards.

They're getting ripped for writing creatively, which is sort of sad....there is quite a bit on Google News about this today and Jossip definitely gave their two cents. Even freaking Reuters a bit on this...cmon people, is there not anything else to write about this week? If not, I've got like four pitches for ya if you're interested...and high-res images...

I've been a bad, bad girl.

Definitely went to South Coast Plaza and made a 10-minute decision to buy an eau de parfum that cost me $161.63. But I don't regret it one bit!

Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf is freaking amazing. All I know is I had to buy it because I couldn't stop sniffing myself all the way from Bloomindale's to H&M to Sephora. (Um...p.s. I tried out O-GLOW at Sephora tonight. We are not friends. It look like I had a rash on my cheeks. Not good.)

Viktor & Rolf rolled out this little bottle of heaven in 2004 so I'm sad I didn't buy it sooner. It has a basenote of patchouli (to appeal to my hippie ways,) middle notes of jasmine, freesia and orchid and top notes of bergamot and tea. That all adds up to a vanilla-sugary musky sweet scent that smells fantastic! I hope I don't attract too much attention by having my nose permanently attached to my wrist.

Also, guys take note - Victor & Rolf now has a men's fragrance, Antidote. If it smells half as tempting as Flowerbomb, consider it better than Sex Panther.

Warning:





****SPOILER ALERT for Sex and the City: The Movie!****







And I know this is all I can talk about lately, but it really is exciting.







Apparently our little fertility challenged Charlotte is expecting a baby, says Perez Hilton. Le baby bump is cheerfully adorned with a huge flower-patterned shift dress. I kind of expected more from Charlotte - she's really goin with that whole "big as a house" thing, isn't she? I can't see her shoes, but she better be wearing heels. This is Sex and the City, people!

Anyway, Perez says that she goes into labor while having an argument with Big...but they look pretty happy here to me! Sigh...Chris Noth really doesn't age well does he? Ha!

I am not going to lie. I am anxiously awaiting with baited breath the premiere of "Gossip Girl" on the CW tonight at 9:00 p.m. Yes, this from the girl who can't commit to more than one show per week or she overwhelms her DVR queue.


I am sad to say I was reminded of the show via the handy dandy Myspace.com run-of-site ad the CW placed today (gently reminding me "You're nobody until you're talked about." Thanks!)



See!! Even though I am turning 25 soon I can still be captured via advertising to the 18 to 24-year-old market!! (You can sense my impending doom of entering the next demographic age bracket.)

But I seriously really loved Blake Lively in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and hope she'll do a good job as a New York high socialite.













Hallelujah! Sex and the City started filming in New York today!
















Here are some of the first pictures of the flick...try as I might, I couldn't see if Carrie is sporting a blingy rock. I don't know about you, but I am not feeling that Eiffel Tower bag she's carrying that is obstructing my view of her ring finger. At least make it a cute bag.




MTV is saying these are the first photos...but INF seems to have beat them to the chase.

Apparently the release date for the movie is May 30, 2008. Well, I know what we're doing for Suzie's birthday now!

Not to sound skeezy, but there is a calendar of Mormon guys just back from their missionaries out there...and they look pretty hot, in a squeaky-clean kinda way! Apparently you can buy the calendar online at http://mormonsexposed.com/. You can also buy shirts that say "I heart Mormon boys" there. Seriously? Let's not touch that one of the many colors the shirts come in is called "Celestial White."

I don't know whether to laugh hysterically...or laugh hysterically! I am a little shocked LDS guys would pose with their shirts off. I wonder what other Mormons think?

Super exciting news for those in withdrawal from SATC came out yesterday.


Jennifer Hudson has signed on to be a cast member for "Sex and the City: The Movie", according to well, everyone, but specifically the Los Angeles Times. They say she will play personal assistant to "resident sex columnist" Carrie Bradshaw.


So call me speculative, but I think this means Carrie takes back her old post...or gets a new gig. Apparently this will take us four years after we found out Big's name is really "John." Maybe we'll find out his last name if Carrie gets hitched to him...ooh, that'd be exciting!

The flick's IMDB profile shows who's on board and who's still negotiating their check amount (cmon, Mario!) I'm on board as long as I can see Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and Big...urm, "John" on the big screen.

I will definitely psycho-out for the 2008 debut of this by camping outside of a movie theater while wearing some Manolos and drinking a cosmopolitan.

Friday nights at home, rare as they are, mean one of three things for me:

1. Online shopping
2. Photoshoots with my cat and/or stuffed animals - I know...
3. A lot of wine

I am engaging in all of the above at the moment. And in between snapping fetching portraits of my cat Sugar, Sephora.com has just now caught my eye with Smashbox "O GLOW," a self-purported "first intuitive blush."

This product is neither new nor on my must-buy list, but I'm intrigued nonetheless. Apparently this supposed miracle in a tube reacts with your "personal skin chemistry," turning your cheeks just as rosy as they would if you were really embarrassed, really excited or just got back off the ellipital machine.

I don't know about you, but I actively try to suppress the blushing effect that comes standard with me sticking my foot in my mouth or watching JT's special on HBO. It's more blotchy than pretty. Maybe that's what the $26 saves you from - a more milk maiden/fresh-as-a-daisy look than that flush I sometimes got when I thought I was allergic to alcohol.

But far be it for me to judge a product that tries to bring out the natural in you! Let me know if any of you have tried this to any success.

One more thing - apparently this is my second post so far about gel blush. That's really, really lame.

My roommate and I were talking the other day about how odd it is that so many remakes of "Umbrella" are floating around the musical universe.

The Pop Sugar gang posted a poll asking which version of "Umbrella" is better: the one by Mandy Moore or Rihanna?

And then there's this train wreck on YouTube...well, Rihanna they say the best form of flattery is imitation. Be flattered!

My girl Britney is coming back - thank god! I was starting to feel like being a fan of Ms. Spears in this day and age was like still being a fan of JTT.

Her new single, "Gimme More," is actually receiving some good feedback.

Click here to listen...I'm here to make sure the love for Brit's new album is contagious. :)
