He: plays the lovably goofy charmer on NBC’s The Office. She: played the bitchy and more chic-than-thou office assistant in The Devil Wears Prada. I love both John Krasinksi and Emily Blunt.  But, hey Emily – it’s SO not cool to steal other people’s fake boyfriends!

Emily Blunt worked with Krasinski’s costar from The Office, Steve Carell (Michael Scott – who is never wrong, even when he is!), in the wonderful 2007 movie Dan in Real Life. Speaking of movies you should see, last night I saw Charlie Wilson’s War (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams) on DVD. Emily Blunt is in the movie, albeit in one of those blink-and-you’ve-missed-it moments. Even so, this movie is one to be highly recommended for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Usually I veer away from movies about war but this is far from the likes of Saving Private Ryan.

I also tend to stay away from movies involving sports that aren’t ice skating, but I really enjoyed Leatherheads (George Clooney, John Krasinski, Rene Zellweger). Note to Hollywood: When a movie is the product of true passion and not just the need to churn out anything that will make money, it really shows. It might not always make money…but at least you can be proud of it!

(Note: Hi. *Wave* I’m Jessica Rae of Sofachip.com, and I’ll be joining your lovely TEN Gossip hostess, Taylor, in bringing you entertainment news and maybe even recipes for cupcakes. Taylor and I both share a love of Supernatural, Milo Ventimiglia, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I’m happy to be here, and to answer the burning question on your mind – I’m a Capricorn!)

P.S. I am still mourning the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, augh!

Britney Spears’ New ‘Circus’ Promo

Posted by taylor blue on November 22, 2008 | 3 Comments

A new Britney Spears promo shot for her new album, Circus, dropping on her birthday on December 2nd, has come out. They all seem to get weirder and weirder. I don’t even know what’s wrong with her neck in this picture! I hope they are really going for the fun house look because I think they hit it right on the head with this one.

I am really excited to hear this album. And I know she’s headed for a comeback. But like Britney says…

“I don’t really like it when they say ‘the comeback,’ I’ve been here the whole time.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt Looks Really Happy

Posted by taylor blue on November 22, 2008 | No Comments

CBS is getting to be notorious with killing good characters off…first it was the show Moonlight (Hello…Twilight is sooo popular…dumb move!!), second it was Warrick in CSI, and now they kill off Jennifer Love Hewitt’s husband, Jim, in Ghost Whisperer. It could add another dimension but it could also be the dumbest thing ever done.

Jennifer was at a charity event in Los Angeles with her fiancee, Ross McCallm today. The two of them really look like a cute couple. I just hope Ghost Whisperer doesn’t get canceled because of the latest move.

28 Reasons Why Twilight The Movie MAY BE Better Than The Book

Posted by taylor blue on November 22, 2008 | 17 Comments

I think I’m not the only one that wants to see Twilight this weekend. I can’t get to the movie because it’s sold out and I don’t have a babysitter. But I saw this list..full of spoilers and it said the 28 things they did to improve on the book. I know I loved the book..Here is New York Entertainment’s list of 28 Reasons the movie is better than the book…

1. First of all, the demands of compressing a 500-page book into a two-hour movie mean that most of the boring scenes of Edward brooding about stuff have been cut. In fact, for the entire middle third of the movie, Edward seems happy most of the time, which Robert Pattinson frankly plays a lot better than he does the dark, serious looks.

2. The movie adds an amazing sequence in which Edward takes Bella to the top of an enormous tree for a view of the mountains and river below. It actually totally rules.

3. In the movie, vampires make an unnecessary but awesome whooshing sound when they jump around.

4. Bella’s new friends in Forks have been given the Catherine Hardwicke treatment: They’re cooler, funnier, more multicultural, and way more interesting than they are in the book, where they’re mostly there to serve as distractions that Bella ignores on her way to Edward. For instance, Eric — described in the book as “a gangly boy with skin problems” who’s “the overly-helpful chess-club type” — turns into a hip, attractive Gaysian. And when everyone goes to the beach, they don’t just take boring walks to the tide pools; they go surfing!

5. Who knew Charlie’s mustache was so awesome?

6. At the movie, you get to hear teenage girls shrieking, “I love you, Edward!!!” before the opening credits even begin.
