Blake Lively looked glamorous at the Chanel Sponsors Fall Gala in NYC for The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center at the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City tonight (November 4th).
Blake recently revealed that she never took a formal acting class. She had parents that taught acting and they taught her everything she knows.
Well, my parents taught an acting class when I was growing up, and because I never had a babysitter, I would end up at them. When I got older, I knew all the drills so well that I felt fine getting up on stage. Without them, I’d still probably be hiding under my mom’s skirt.
You can tell those personal acting lessons helped!
Back in July, I posted the trailer for, Brothers, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. Now that the movie is hitting theaters on December 4th they released a couple of new stills. This movie looks amazing, especially with the cast that it has. The quick synopsis is that a man (Jake) comforts his sister-in-law (Natalie) and children after her husband (Tobey) goes missing in Afghanistan. I’ve watched the trailer more than a couple of times already.
Here we are at the tenth episode already of the last season of Supernatural, it looks like it will be the last season after all. I haven’t heard any rumors of it being otherwise. I will have to soak up the last season as much as I can.
The tenth episode is called, Abandon All Hope, and it goes like this: Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) track down the Colt and head off to find Lucifer (guest star Mark Pelligreno) to send him back to Hell. It’s a hunters’ reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest star Samantha Ferris) and Jo (guest star Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth.
I have to thank the CW for some really cute still of Jared for once! It’s about time Sam gets some love too!
I am an avid reader and right now I’m reading, The Mortal Instruments Series. I’m almost done the second book but feel heartbroken about the characters so I must admit that I haven’t been reading as much as I used to.
I had heard about Nightlight by The Harvard Lampoon a couple weeks ago and how it was a parody of Twilight. I know that when I was reading it I had some silly questions about the characters. The book finally came out today and on the EW website they posted a chapter of it.
The main character is Belle and she is moving from Phoenix to where her dad lives, Switchblade. And the main character that she falls in love with is a computer geek named, Edwart. I have to say that I read through the first chapter quite quickly laughing and getting stares at the other people in my house. Here is my favorite excerpt from the first chapter.
It was then that I saw him. He was sitting at a table all by himself, not even eating. He had an entire tray of baked potatoes in front of him and still he did not touch a single one. How could a human have his pick of baked potatoes and resist them all? Even odder, he hadn’t noticed me, Belle Goose, future Academy Award winner.
A computer sat before him on the table. He stared intently at the screen, narrowing his eyes into slits and concentrating those slits on the screen as if the only thing that mattered to him was physically dominating that screen. He was muscular, like a man who could pin you up against the wall as easily as a poster, yet lean, like a man who would rather cradle you in his arms. He had reddish, blonde-brown hair that was groomed heterosexually. He looked older than the other boys in the room — maybe not as old as God or my father, but certainly a viable replacement. Imagine if you took every woman’s idea of a hot guy and averaged it out into one man. This was that man.
”What is that?” I asked, knowing that whatever it was it wasn’t avian.
”That’s Edwart Mullen,” Lululu said.
Edwart. I had never met a boy named Edwart before. Actually, I had never met any human named Edwart before. It was a funny sounding name. Much funnier than Edward.
I can’t wait to get the whole book and read and giggle through the whole thing! I hope they end up writing all the books. I know there is a couple of the characters like Dr. Cullen and Emmett and how they would make them really funny.
Rachelle Lefevre looks absolutely gorgeous in this photo shoot from the November 2009 issue of Gotham magazine. We all know she’s cool because she’s Canadian just like me…and we just roll like that. And to prove how cool she is here is proof…
“When I first got to LA, everybody said I was too ‘girl-next-door’ for edgier roles,” she says. “I ended up playing a stripper, an escort, a vampire and an off-her-rocker troubled poet. I keep playing roles that are not even close to the girl next door.”
Rachelle has two film projects coming up and is going to be very busy. But we already knew that she was amazing.
It seems like the day of the magazines, I always love the first of the month so I can see them all. Leighton Meester is on the cover of the December 2009 issue of Glamour magazine. Leighton always looks amazing in magazines.
I love the quote she gives at the end of the interview. I am sure many celebrities would like to be able to say the same thing she does.
“I’m proud of the work that I’ve done. I don’t care what people label me as. If they want to say I’m an actress, and I should never sing, that’s fine. If they know me for my music, because they don’t watch my show or my movies, that’s fine, too. I’m doing what I want with my life. I just do…me.”
I think she’s great at all she does…don’t stop Leighton.
