Best and Worst of the Oscars

Let's get the boring awards out of the way first:

Best Dressed Male:

I bet you expected me to pick Rob for that, huh? Well, think again. 007 was looking mighty fine and his tuxedo was so perfectly tailored, it is undeniable that he was the best dressed male.

Best Dressed Female:

I thought Tina looked gorgeous on Sunday night. The dress, her hair, the earrings-it was all perfect. She should be proud that as a television star, she put some of the big movie stars to shame.

Best use of color:

Natalie looked gorgeous and I love that she wore a color that most people stay away from. Her skin looked amazing. What happened to her? I haven't seen her in a movie in awhile.

Best Dressed Nominee:

Tie!

I couldn't choose between these two lovely ladies, who were my picks for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress as well (not that I thought they would win, I just thought they should). These are two ladies that often miss the mark in fashion, but they both got it right on this night, which is one of the most important nights of their careers. Bravo Marisa and Anne!

Now it gets more interesting:

Worst Dressed Female:

Disney, say it isn't so. Are you trying to hint at the fact that you are planning to make a live action remake of The Little Mermaid starring Miley? Because that would break my heart. This ho cannot play Ariel. And she doesn't know how to dress herself either. The whole look is something awful.

Worst Dressed Male:

Sorry Mick. I love ya, ya know I do, but this is very pimp-ish. You can do better. But I love you anyway!

Other Amazing Fashion Achievements from the Oscars:

Robert Downey, Jr. gets the Dick Clark(before he had the Stroke) Award

because he somehow managed to shave 20 years off of his look. We haven't seen him looking this young since Less Than Zero . Did he find the Fountain of Youth whilst sleeping in a young neighbor child's bed?

Sophia Loren gets the My Wig Looks even Worse than Kim Zolciak's Award

Sophia, you are one hot lady, and you are way too hot for that broke ass wig. The only thing worse than that is the monstrosity to follow:

I'm talking to you Mary. That's right, I'm calling you Mary because I refuse to address you by your given name. You will always be the bitchy trouble-making older sister from 7th-Heaven to me. And today, you are being honored with the My Hair looks even worse than Sophia Loren's Wig which is Worse than Kim Zolciak's Wig Award I'm not even going to comment on the travesty that was your dress or your horrible bridesmaid shoes in black. I'm just going to say that I'm not surprised Justin didn't want to be your date.

The little kids from Slumdog Millionaire get the So cute they should be part of the Brangelina Brood Award.

Speaking of Brangie, Angelina gets the award for Best Jewelry.

I'm feeling Emerald Envy. These are gorgeous and so is her hair.

Mickey Rourke, I know I called you Worst Dressed and you didn't win the Oscar, but you aren't going to walk away empty-handed! You get the award for Best Jewelry incorporating a Picture of a Dead Dog. Congrats!

Amy Adams is the winner of the Thanks for making me feel more secure in my Paleness Award.

But she also won Worst Jewelry. Sorry, Amy, but that thing around your neck is ugly.

Kate Winslet is the winner of the Biggest Fashion Letdown Award.

Kate, you looked amazing all awards season. Why go matronly now? I mean, your hair looked awesome, but I really wish you had just worn your Golden Globes dress again for the Oscars instead of wearing this yawn-worthy dress.

Beyonce and Mario Lopez are the winners of the Even We Don't Know WTF We Are Doing Here Award.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the winner of the I Look Like a Hobo at the Oscars Award.

You couldn't take the hat off for the night? Really? Take note of the award to follow.

Rob Pattinson is the winner of the I may be A Hobo Most of the Time, But I know I'm supposed to Dress Up for the Oscars and looked Classically Handsome on Sunday Award.

Swoon.

Emile Hirsch is the winner of the Made Me Swoon Almost as Much as Robert Pattinson Award.

Dev Patel & Freida Pinto are the winners of the Ship them Almost as Much as KStew & RPattz Award.

They are lovely. These two on the other hand--Heidi Klum and Seal are the winners of the Only Couple who seem More Annoying and Out of Place than these FolksAward.

Congrats to all the winners!

My posting will be sporadic at best over the next couple of weeks as we are in the process of moving (Yipee!) and I need a mental vacation.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Well, it's not a shampoo bottle now!

Now that I've calmed down, I would like to discuss the rest of the Oscars. And today I'm too lazy and distracted to post a bunch of pictures you've already seen before elsewhere, so if you want visuals, click here (I figure if you are taking the time to read this, you've probably already seen their outfits anyway).

So, first of all, I loved Hugh Jackman. He made me laugh and it wasn't at how bad he was. I usually hate the hosts of these things. Was he corny?; absolutely! Did he seem kinda gay?; well, you know I'd rather sit on my lips than judge someone, but I think it's doubtful that he'd score a 0 on the Kinsey scale. But he's definitely not alone in that fact. There is no denying Hugh's likability, and I think everybody was rooting for him to do well, and he delivered. My favorite part of the opening number was "The Reader". As far as his duet with Anne Hathaway; well, that went a little too far on the cornball scale, even for me.

Another thing I liked: the old people announcing the nominees. It definitely had a sorority/fraternity feel (not that I would know from personal experience, but I've watched enough Beverly Hills, 90210 to be an honorary Alpha) and I found myself tearing up. I thought it was a nice consolation for the losers, because you can't feel that bad about yourself when Shirley Maclaine just told you how awesome you were.
So, otherwise:

1) I'm happy Heath Ledger won. His family spoke beautifully and it gave me a case of the sads.

2) Did anybody else think that Penny Cruz was speaking Spanish for the first half of her speech until she calmed down and announced that she would be saying something in Spanish?

3) Thank God, no one got the horrible orchestra send-off during the middle of their speech. I always worry about those people for the rest of the night; I know I'm the exception in this regard, but I think if people wait their whole life for this, they should get their two minutes or however long they need.

4) If I have to see any more clips of Frost/Nixon I think I'm going to go find Frank Langella and gouge his eyes out. I don't understand why everybody loves him so much. He creeps me out.

5) One of the documentaries was called Smile, Pinki!; it actually won. This made me giggle uncontrollably because I call my mom Pinky and it just made me laugh. Well, then I found out that it is a movie about people getting Cleft Pallate surgeries. Way to bring a girl down, Oscars.

6) These things are too damn long. Can't we just have another ceremony for all the boring crap? Or add some of this boring crap to the boring crap that Jessica Biel (who looked terrible by the way) hosted?

7) Oh, Kate. I feel like I know you. I wish I did. I just want to come drink tea and eat crumpets with you. Can I be your Nanny? I want to come live in London. Your speech was corny; you were definitely meant to be an actress; I just love you. I should probably go see one of your movies now.

8) When I was in NYC last year, Mr. Bunny and I had this ridiculous night where we walked all the way to the Empire State Building in the rain and then had a terrible time there because it was an overpriced tourist trap and under construction and windy. Anyway, after all that, all I wanted was to get in a cab and go back to the hotel. Well we couldn't find one, so we got in one of those rickshaw/pedicab things. And the pedicab guy was this really nice Canuck who reminded me of Steve Zahn. He's pedaling along and we're a couple blocks off of Broadway on a back street with several bars. I'm looking around the mostly empty street while Mr. Bunny and Canuck Zahn are discussing music or Canada or something and all of a sudden, I see a man walking alone. He is quite famous and I'm starstruck.

I turned into Ariel and couldn't speak--literally couldn't find my voice. Not that I would have said anything to him (I'm scared he would punch me in the face. I'm not gonna lie-this guy scares the ever loving crap out of me) but to get Mr. Bunny's attention. I'm also pretty much paralyzed and the only thing that's moving are my eyeballs, which are following the star as he crosses the street. The only other part of my body that wasn't paralyzed was my arm, which I was continually punching my husband with. I finally hit Mr. Bunny enough times that he looked over at me inquisitively, and I used my one working limb to point at the man who played Spicoli; the first Mr. Madonna; and the man who would go on to portray Harvey Milk. Mr. Bunny follows my arm and my gaze and looks over. I find my voice to whisper "It's Sean Penn!" and Mr. Bunny looks at him again and says "You think?" He then looks back at us and smirks. And it was the trademark Sean Penn smirk.

So I've always loved Sean Penn but have loved him a little bit more since last April. And even though Mr. Bunny is still not convinced that the man we saw was Sean Penn, I know it was him because of that smirk. And I'm so glad that Sean has gotten back with Robin Wright Penn since then, because I was worried that we saw him as he tried to drown his sorrows. I thought Sean was incredible as Harvey Milk and loved the whole cast of the movie; I think it is such an important subject and such an interesting film. I'm glad he won--although I would have been happy for Mickey Rourke to win (maybe a little bit more happy because he makes me giggle and I loved The Wrestler). But when Sean got up on stage and said "You Commie Homo-Loving SOBs" I giggled and was glad that my Dad had gone to bed. His speech was poignant and made me happy that he won.

9) And finally, I would like to say how happy I am that Slumdog won Best Picture. I would also like to say that I really want to adopt an Indian child. They are so beautiful and sweet. I bet you Brangelina's next baby will be from India.

What did you think? What did you like, what did you hate?

Who do you think should win best and worst dressed?

I'll be sharing my thoughts on the fashion tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Oscar, Robscah!

I'd like to thank the Academy for these great videos and this great photo-op.

*Robert Pattinson on the Oscars compared to Twilight premieres: "It's more organized. At Twilight premieres, you think you're going to die."-Entertainment Weekly

I wish I could expresss my gratitude in greater detail, but after that, I'm not sure I can form a coherent sentence.
The rest of the show was nice too, but I'm not ready to talk about all that just yet.

For today, I just want to focus on this.

I'm a happy girl.

Love,

Elle Bunny

My Heroes: The Twicurls

Someday I hope to meet them. They are right up there with Rob, Betty White, Dolly Parton, Elizabeth Taylor, Justin Timerlake and George Michael.
I like to think we'd have an enjoyable conversation over Starbucks

or possibly blood slushies (if Aro ever gets around to fixing Pici's machine)

Have a great day!
Love,
Elle Bunny

Kittens inspired by...Kittens!

I think this is our long lost sister, Meredith! She reminds me of us when we were little.

Now I want a little girl and a kitten. Sigh.

Have a great day!

Elle Bunny

Holy Hell, Bert's going to present an award at the Oscars!

You heard me right, Pink readers. Rob Pattinson, the official mascot of PIMSC is going to be presenting at the Academy Awards. Maybe we should build him a cake?My feelings are so conflicted about this new development that I find myself simultaneously wiggling my toes and getting nauseous. I'm sure Rob's doing the same thing, all while nervously grasping at what's left of his hair.

On the one hand, I will be so happy to see Rob on American soil. Not that I begrudge him his time at home, but we missed him over here.

On the other hand I feel second-hand anxiety for Rob. Does any remember the epic fail that was the VMAs?

Poor Rob. But I love this interview after the fact:

He's just so darn likeable. Anyway, I worry about Rob amongst this room full of Hollywood legends. It is likely to be a little more intimidating than Russell Brand and the Jo Bros and even though he's a big fancy movie star now, I still think it's quite possible that Rob could trip down the stairs when he realizes that Jack Nicholson is in the audience.

I'm hoping against hope that the Bert we see on Sunday is Smiley Bert (by far my favorite Bert) and dressed well. He stops for lots of charming interviews on the red carpet and then heads inside where he is witty and deliciously awkward as he gives out the Academy Award for Best Actress to Kate Winslet, and then they have a charming British moment as he hands over her Oscar.

But I will support him whether or not he trips down the stairs, goofs up his lines, or shows up drunk. Because that's what makes him Bert, and God knows that my adoration for Silly Bert trumps any love I have for the perfection of Edward Cullen. So I will be tuning in, and DVRing the several different red carpet programs in the hopes that I will see Rob towering over Seacrest and giggling about something.

The only thing that could make the whole thing better is if KStew joins him (crossing fingers).But I will settle for an appearance by TomStud (if he wears the Green Plaid Shirt)Have a great day!

Elle Bunny

My Favorite Things Monday: YouTube Video

This video is just epic. Anytime you get vampires and a dance number in the same video, I will be a happy girl. This video is pretty amazing for many reasons:

1) The cafeteria seriously looks exactly like the cafeteria in the movie. I honestly wonder if they went to the same school to film it.

2) The acting was on par with that seen it the movie.

3) So many of the actors looked so much like the actors in the real movie (especially Jasper-look-alike, Rosalie-look-alike and Bella-look-alike).

4) These kids can really dance.

5) This video seems to have had a bigger budget than Twilight. Just saying.

It's awesome. I had to share. Even if you aren't a huge Twilighter, I think you will enjoy this video so check it out!

Love,

Elle Bunny

The heart is what makes someone Fearless

The human heart is an incredible organ. It has four chambers which pump blood through our blood vessels through rhythmic contractions. The average human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during a lifetime (about 66 years). For many centuries it was believed that the heart was the actual location of the mind. When our anscestors died, those who cared for the dead would toss the brain aside but do much to protect the heart. The heart symbolizes the soul, and while it is a physical organ essential to living, it also symbolizes our emotions and feelings. Our capacity to forgive and be kind. And most of all, the heart's capacity to love is an awe-inspiring thing. So on this Friday I wanted to give thanks for the human heart, for keeping our blood pumping and for all the wonderful people in the world who know how to use their hearts to touch others'.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

-Helen Keller

Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.

-Charles Dickens
A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love.

-Mother Theresa Happy Valentine's Day!

Love,
Elle Bunny

P.S. My posts will be sporadic over the next couple of weeks. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I need some time to collect ideas on what to write about!

A Baa Nerd Hertz Glints

I thoroughly enjoy Anagrams. Ever sense I read about Colin Singleton and his compulsion to anagram I find myself following suit without even realizing it. Right now I'm looking around my desk; here are some of the anagrams I've come up with based on the the people, pictures, words and items surrounding me

Diagnosis=Adios Sing; Soda Sing I

Relay=Early; Layer

Flowers=Elf Rows;Slew Fro

Florida=Air Fold;Rad Foil

Sister=Resist; Set Sir

Gardenia=And Rage I;A Grained

Stress Ball=Brats Sells; Stars Bells

Phone=Pen Ho; En Hop

Laura=Aural

Christina=Can't Hi Sir

I'm officially a dork. But I do truly enjoy doing this. Check out this website to Anagram your name. Here is what they came up with for my first and last name (they couldn't handle all that and the middle name; I think their computers would crash).
A Brazen Starlight End
A Sandbar Nether Glitz
A Heartland Bring Zest
A Stargazer Blend Thin
A Stanza Brethren Gild
A Bastard Then Zen Girl
A Baa Nerd Hertz Glints
A Zebra Strangled Thin
A Banner Tzar Slighted
A Brazen Hand Glitters

I hope the story of my life has a brazen starlight end. It just sounds awesome.

What does your name anagram to?

Have a great day!

Smokey the Koala Bear

Here is what the Herald Sun had to say about Sam the Koala.

SAM became the most famous koala in the world when firefighter David Tree stopped to give her a drink amid the devastation.

Carer Jenny Shaw said she suffered burns on her paws and was in a lot of pain, but was on the road to recovery. She was put on an IV drip and is on antibiotics and pain relief treatment. "She is lovely - very docile - and she has already got an admirer. A male koala keeps putting his arms around her," Ms Shaw said. "She will need regular attention and it will be a long road to recovery, but she should be able to be released back into the wild in about five months."
I don't think it gets any cuter than a firefighter rescuing a koala.

I cry every time I watch that video. I'm a sucker for koalas.

I'm bummed for the people in Australia. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers their way!

Have a great day everyone, and if you aren't just think of Sam and David. If that doesn't make you feel better, I don't know what will.

Love,

Elle Bunny aka Kimmy Koala

P.S. Unfortunately I made a mistake and deleted my first Wordless Wednesday post and Spaghetti Cat-Friday's Fun Fearless Feline post. Hopefully I will redo these soon for my own sanity. Sorry if you wanted to look at them!

10 Reasons I'm Excited to Be Buying a House

1) If I really wanted to, I could put 10 pink flamingos in my front yard. Who's going to stop me?

2) No stairs. I think this is the part I'm most excited about, since at the present time I live in a third floor apartment. My thighs are growing at the thought of living in a one story house.
3) We have a backyard. With trees. This is exciting for both of us, because we look forward to entertaining friends and gardening. This is exciting for Mr. Bunny because he can play bocce ball and washers and horseshoes, and barbeque. For me, a backyard equals ample room to hula hoop and cartwheel.
4) Two bathrooms. This means when the two of us get home after being in the car for an hour with large drinks, we won't have to pretend to be polite and the let the other person go first. Now we can just fight for who gets to go to the closer bathroom. 5) I think sometimes I might just go sit in one of the spare bedrooms and stare at the wall for 30 minutes.

6) Mr Bunny will have a man room where he will store all his video games-the Wii, the XBox, you name it, it's in there.

This is awesome because it means we will have a real grown up living room. In this room we can watch movies and Lost together. But when Mr. Bunny wants to play Zelda, he can go to his man room and leave me to my Beverly Hills, 90210 and Real Housewives debauchery.

7) I can has new kittehs?

8) I'd venture a guess that if I stand in the front bedroom and hollered, Mr. Bunny wouldn't be able to hear me in the kitchen. I'm only guessing, but that is pretty awesome.

9) Rain, Sleet, Snow, Ice, Mud and Muck will not matter because I will have a freaking garage. This is perhaps the most life changing development because I'm consistently late everywhere and hate getting into a car affected by the elements-it only makes me later than I already was. I'm also really excited to not have all of my neighbors see me walk out in my pajamas everytime I leave something in my car.

10) I will be able to fully enjoy listening to music and dancing around. I will have more area to do so and won't have to feel like I'm disturbing the peace-no longer will I be on the third floor flanked by neighbors to the sides and below. It is an amazing sense of freedom.

Thanks for reading my list of reasons I'm excited about buying a house-I need to focus on this because right now I'm getting overwhelmed by the paperwork and the redtape of it all.

But it's all worth it because I'm getting a House!
Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

My Favorite Things Monday: Website and YouTube Videos

So a couple of weeks ago my sister's fiance Cam sent me the link to an incredible website. It has become one of my favorite work-time diversions. If you have not been to Sporcle.com yet, I encourage you to go. It's hours of fun. I think this is what they should give to the old people in the nursing homes to keep their minds young and non-dimensia ridden. It's basically a site with tons of timed quizzes on everything from geography to music to sports to...yeah, everything. I suck and most of the time have to use Wiki, but it always proves to me how efficient my Wiki usage is. I wish somebody would make a quiz about types of cancer--I would kick that quizzes ass! Anywho, so much fun!
So did anyone watch the Grammy's last night? I watched it with my family, and although I liked a lot of the winners and they can be found on my iPod, I thought it was pretty boring.

My Highlights-Adele's acceptance speech; The Four Tops Tribute; Chris Martin accepting the Best Rock award and saying "We’re like limestone — softer, but just as charming"; Coldplay's performance; Radiohead's performance; Justin Timberlake in all of his performances; and Paul McCartney's performance with Dave Grohl.
Speaking of which, this video made me giggle:

I specifically pointed out that stuffed animal to Mr Bunny, as I, too, thought it was rather odd. But as soon as I did, they stopped showing it and the performance was over. I was left thinking it was a hallucination. But I'm not clever enough to have connected the dots--I am sure now that Paul McCartney is Team Jacob all the way.

Speaking of Team Failcob, I'm going through major RPattz withdrawals. Now I should be doing better by now, because he was photographed out on the town in London with Tom Stud at a Vogue party (look at his hair; it looks really bad but it's getting longer!) and out the next night partying with women wearing fur coats and looking devious with Tom Stud in the candy aisle. And I'm amused. These pictures make me smile. But it doesn't matter. I feel disconnected; I need to hear him speak. Thank God for YouTube. Here are a few of my favorite Rob videos--it's okay if you don't watch them, their really just here so I can find them easily and watch them when I'm feeling in need of some Rob (but you really should watch them...he's so endearing).

Here he is wishing his dog Patty Happy Valentine's Day.

How cute is that? By the way, this is what his dog Patty looks like.Rob never ceases to make me giggle.

Here is Rob answering questions backstage at Ellen.

There are no words. The following are two Best Rob Moments videos. They amuse me.

Thanks for indulging my Robsesssion.

Have a great day and check out Sporcle!

I seriously don't know who to pick as Friday's Fun Fearless Female.

The reason I can't pick is that there isn't one candidate that sticks out for me. There are actually quite a few. But in the past, I've picked the majority of Friday's Fun Fearless Females/Males/Twins/Felines based on their having done something outstanding/interesting/fearless and the fact that I would enjoy throwing back a few Margaritas with them (with the exception of the Obama Girls, Piper Palin, and Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt: too young; although,I think Spaghetti Cat would be able to hold his liquor).
However, this week, I'm unable to find anyone who fits both criteria.So instead, I'm going to talk about a couple of ladies I think are bat-shit crazy, but undeniably fearless.
First up:

Nadya Suleman is obviously delusional. In case you didn't figure it out already or you've been living under a rock, this is the lady who recently had octuplets at the age of 33. She lives with her parents in a two bedroom apartment. She declared bankruptcy just over a year ago and she already has six kids. How the hell did she come up with the money for fertility treatment when she just declared bankruptcy? And while I don't think I would enjoy socializing with the woman, there's no denying that this is an outstanding story and that she doesn't have a fearful bone in her body-she doesn't seem too concerned about how to feed 14 kids or how she is going to give them a suitable home. She doesn't seem concerned about their lack of a male role model (well, I guess her Dad could fill that role if he didn't have to go to Iraq for contract labor to feed her 14 kids). She obviously didn't have any fear when they implanted several embryos. I'm somebody who usually lives by the philosophy "live and let live" but someone needs to investigate this woman further. So Nadya is definitely one of this Friday's Fearless Females--but I don't know how fun she is.

And my second pick for Friday's Fun Fearless Female is Ricki Lake. Why Ricki, you may ask? Because of this. Ricki is going to be hosting the third season of Charm School on Vh1. I don't know if she is a glutton for punishment or maybe she just likes getting into fights with Bret Michael's rejects. Either way, I hope that she is as feisty as Sharon Osbourne. I also agree with Michael K who recently stated that he hopes Ricki Lake owns a full body latex suit because unfortunately, these ladies look diseased. But Ricki has lots of experience in dealing with that lot of people--remember her talk show? My favorite parts were always when the audience would chant "Go Ricki! Go Ricki!" I also liked it when the doorbell would ring and Ricki would say "Uh-Oh!" and somebody else would pop in for a little drama. Here are some clips from the awesomeness that was that show. She had a great opening sequence!

So while these ladies may not inspire me to reach for greater things and dare to be a better me, they certainly make great entertainment.

So let's here it for Nadya Suleman and Ricki Lake, Friday's Fun Fearless Females!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Love,

Elle Bunny

My Open Letters to Rob, Kristen, & Chris Weitz

I've always found it amusing when someone in the public eye writes an "open letter" (Candy Spelling, I'm talking to you). It just seems to be such a cry for attention. As someone in the public eye, you most likely have connections and people that can get you in touch with the person, so if you actually were concerned about them, you could just contact them privately. I, on the other hand, do not have connections. But I have a blog. Which very few people read, but it is my place to speak my mind. So here I go--my open letters to RPattz, KStew, and Chris Weitz (who are all subscribers to my blog).

Dearest Bert,

I miss you. I couldn't find any current photos of you--and while I'm happy that you aren't being stalked by the Paparazzi, I kind of miss seeing your goofy grin. I'm super excited about the GQ Cover and can't wait to see Little Ashes after reading this amazing review of it in The Advocate . I'm really pissed about you not being able to do Parts Per Billion, and I know you probably are, too. Hang in there. A lot of your fans aren't 14 and aren't crazy. We really like you...because you're a funny guy; not because you play Edward Cullen (but we wouldn't have anybody else in the role). I can honestly say that I believe I will still be first in line to see your movies years from now, even when they give me the senior discount.
Don't give in if they tell you to do stupid shit on this next movie. We don't need to see you throughout the whole movie (much as we'd all want to) because we need that big, badass last 30 minutes. We need to see you step out in that plaza and we need to feel like we have missed you. We need to feel like Bella. You get this. We get this. I'm sure KStew will get this if she ever gets around to reading the book. So stick to your guns--it will make for a better movie. In closing, don't ever change. We love you just the way you are.
Love,
Elle Bunny
Dear Kristen, I know it must be hard right now, with everyone questioning whether you are still dating Michael Oregano and wondering when you are going to move onto Rob, but we all knew this was coming. And from the look of these pictures, I would guess that you're not very happy in your current predicament. One thing I've noticed about you KStew-you always look your worst when RPattz is far away--see here (when you were filming Welcome to the Rileys in New Orleans). I know you are probably sick of everyone analyzing your relationship with Rob, but maybe you're just too close to it to see it clearly. Or maybe we really are crazy and seeing things that aren't there. It doesn't matter-Just do what makes you happiest and you'll end up where you belong.
Oh, and make sure they don't cut out the cliff-diving scene in New Moon or Twilighters might throw you off a cliff. And maybe try reading the rest of the series, okay?
Love you!
Elle Bunny

Hi Chris, I'm sure by now you've become well-acquainted with the crazy community that is Twilighters. But we are definitely coming around on the idea of you being the director. Even KStew's joined in on singing your praises. The reason for this about face should be clear: you keep making the right decisions. To start out with, you wrote what seemed to be a sincere and heartfelt letter to the Twilight Fandom introducing yourself and making your intentions clear. Then you kept Taylor as Jacob for New Moon. And in a fantastic move, you seem to be in negotiations to bring on Dakota Fanning as Jane--news that makes me wiggle my toes (always a good sign). There's even talk about you hiring Lucas Grabeel as Alec, which I think is a great idea, especially after seeing him in Milk. But the most exciting rumor in my Sick, Sad World is definitely AnnaLynne McCord being considered to play Heidi. Because despite the fact that I've grown to despise the New 90210 I still watch it every week and have grown to love Naomi and her ridiculous outfits. She's actually a really good friend to Adriana and she gives a mean bitchface. She's definitely my favorite character (which isn't saying a lot, considering I pretty much hate them all). Anyway, if you haven't figured it out yet, I think these are all great things. Check plus on all these decisions. Here is my advice to you if you want to stay on our good side.
1) Pay absolutely no attention to any bullshit that comes out in Catherine Hardwicke's upcoming book. Because although I love Catherine and her energy, I thinks she's feeling pretty burned after what happened and may say some mean things. Ignore it.
2) Make New Moon better than Twilight--listen to your actors and don't be afraid to spend a lot on special effects. In fact, insist on it--it will make more money if you spend more money, guaranteed.
3) Aro, Caius and Marcus must be cast well--that should make up the majority of the rest of the budget, coming in second after special effects only. If you want good actors, you are going to need to pay more than Summit will want to, but you need to insist on it--bigger names bring a bigger audience. Some suggestions? I'm not really good at this because when I think of these characters I start getting grossed out by the idea of their papery white skin. But I'll throw some names out there; Gary Oldman; Jeremy Irons; Nestor Carbonell (who plays Richard on Lost). That's all I've got. Whether you can get these actors to sign up is another battle altogether.
4) Pick good music. While I really liked the soundtrack for Twilight, I think you can do even better. I read that you are open to more experimental songs on the New Moon Soundtrack and I think that is a good idea.

5) Listen to the fans. We care about this. A lot. So don't be afraid to use some of our ideas--we won't mind. First order of business: the tag line. This is what you should use:

"It will be as if I never existed"

If you don't use that one, I might write an angry letter.

Thanks!

Well, that's all I have to say for today.

Have a great day!

Plato's Heir Apparent?

This cracked me up; I had to share.

I'm so amused by this child in his post-dental appointment haze. There is something about kids and/or potheads. Oftentimes, the questions they ask are ones we should be asking ourselves everyday. Instead of thinking about the big picture, we get distracted by the little day to day struggles of life. But after I finished watching the video, I couldn't help looking around my office and thinking "Is this going to be forever?" If it is, I might need some of those drugs that David is on.
Have a great day!

Why is it so funny when celebrities freak out?

Recently, a tape leaked of Christian Bale going off on a Director of Photography on the set of Terminator: Salvation. You can hear it on TMZ if you haven't already. Anyway, it got me thinking. Most of the time, I kind of like a celebrity more after they do something like this. It makes me laugh. Or, in a case like Julia Roberts (who recently went off on photographers following her and her children) it makes me feel sorry for them and glad that I don't have their life.

What is it about the celebrity freak out that we find so humorous? I think it's that these creatures who we look up to, talk about constantly, watch on television/stage/the movie screen are finally brought down to our level and we seem them as fallible human beings. I do feel bad for them because we've all had our freak out moments but most of us aren't unfortunate enough to be in front of a camera at the time. I don't feel that bad for them, though, because they make a lot more money than me, and well, they should probably be a little happier because of that.

Oh, well. The best part of the celebrity freak out is the remix.

Here's the remix of the Christian Bale Freak Out (be forewarned: he drops a lot of F-Bombs).

My all-time favorite freak out, Bill O'Reilly.

And Patti LuPone goes off on a couple of theatre-goers taking pictures. Awesomeness!

I take it back, this is my real favorite freak out of all time, Jesse Spano....She's so...scared!

Have a great day everyone, and take a chill pill!

My Favorite Things Monday: Blog

I love the Sartorialist . If you haven't heard of the Sartorialist, here is what Wiki has to say about it. "The Sartorialist" is a fashion blog by Scott Schuman in New York.[1] After leaving a fashion sales position to take care of his daughter in 2005, he began carrying a digital camera around on the streets of New York City, taking pictures of people who had dressed in some way that caught his eye, and then posting them to his blog, sometimes with comments about what he finds.[1]
He describes his philosophy as trying to echo how fashion designers looked at what they saw on the street:
“I thought I could shoot people on the street the way designers looked at people, and get and give inspiration to lots of people in the process. My only strategy when I began The Sartorialist was to try and shoot style in a way that I knew most designers hunted for inspiration.[2]”
Scott Schuman
Schuman has taken photos in different locations besides New York, often Paris and Milan when he has gone there for fashion shows. His subjects range from fashion celebrities like Karl Lagerfeld to unidentified regular people. He has found uniforms[3] and dirty work clothes[4] as well as those trying to display their style. He says his inspiration was a picture of a man on an empty street taken by German photographer August Sander.[5]
Schuman began getting other work from serious fashion publications. Condé Nast tapped him to do something similar during Fashion Week in Paris for its style.com website.[1] He also regularly works events for Saks Fifth Avenue, and says French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld has also talked to him about doing something for her magazine.[1]

So the only way that I know how to explain how much I love this blog is to say that it is the first blog I check when I get to work in the morning. I usually check it before I check my email. It's awesome and as an aspiring photographer (aka wannabe) I'm in awe of his ability to capture the beauty in so many different subjects. He has a natural gift. Here are some of my favorite photos he has taken, which can all be found at The Sartorialist.

There are no words that can do justice to the beauty of these photos, so on that note, I will say goodbye and beg you to take one look at this website--trust me, you'll get hooked.

Have a great day!
