Emmys Arrivals 2011
Lea Michele in Marchesa
She may be blending in with the red carpet, but this dress is stunning on her! The back also has a very elegant scoop, which is not shown in the photo, but is totally worth looking up.
Drew Barrymore is all over Seattle. Who will spot her next?!
She was also recently spotted at some of Capitol Hill’s bars and HomeGrown. Good choice Drew.
Going the Distance
For work last night, I brought along three of my friends from home to the advanced screening of Going the Distance. I love romantic comedies – that should be apparent by now. I also saw Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman last week in The Switch, but didn’t feel like reviewing it so this will be a combo. Going the Distance was not your ordinary sugar coated cookie cutter romantic comedy. I don’t want to say that I liked it better than The Switch because it was rated R, but it highly likely that that could be one of the reasons.
I’ve discovered that the only role that Jennifer Aniston can play is Rachel Green on Friends. Maybe she’s a sitcom star and not a box office actress and that’s okay! If Friends were still running, she would be in great shape! Drew Barrymore has done a number of romantic comedies, but yet somehow each role has been unique. She has a way of bringing the character to life whether it is with Josey Gellar in Never Been Kissed or Lucy Whitmore in 50 First Days. Jennifer has been playing the same character in movies for years. Herself.
The on-screen chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Justin Long was steamy. It was cute [which was the response I got from many of the viewers afterward,] but it was more than cute. It was realistic in showing the emotions of bliss and frustration and typical challenges that long distance relationships struggle through. Has there ever been any other movie about long distance relationships? I’m surprised it’s taken them this long. The chemistry between Jennifer and Jason not so much. It was boring. It wasn’t believable and it was also slightly awkward to the point of making me feel uncomfortable. I guess it helps a bit if you’re actually dating in real life.
The humor – you will laugh. I’ve come to the conclusion that romantic comedies rated PG-13 are pretty tame and directed at mostly women. Romantic comedies rated R like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and 40-Year-Old Virgin are aimed at both men and women. My guy friends loved it. It’s as much a guy film as it is girls. They really don’t hold back with the sexual references. It is dirty so don’t bring your kids and don’t bring your parents – it’s not that type of film. You won’t be getting any of the dry humor you received in The Switch with this one.
Don’t have weekend plans? Glad I could help you out.
In the News…Weekend Edition
Yay Neil Patrick Harris!!
- Hillary Duff and Mike Comrie just got married tonight in Santa Barbara. Hillary wore Vera Wang [of course.] Scans and pictures will be released Thursday by OK! Magazine, but we all hope it’s a little bit sooner. Question – why do people go to OK! Magazine – there are other magazines out there…better ones too…
- The Glee cast is pushing for a Michael Jackson episode. Haven’t they have enough? Madonna episode – Britney episode. I wish they would just go back to having non-themed episodes. [Source]
- Cheryl Cole will be keeping her last name as Cole and not going back to Tweedy. [Source]
- Joe Jonas has filed a lawsuit against Canadian entertainment blogger Zach Taylor for a posting that claimed Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato were “friends with benefits” [Source]

Drew Barrymore recently walked the red carpet for the Nylon Magazine/Express party this week in a vintage dress that cost her only $25. Don’t worry her Yves Saint Laurent “Tribute” pumps are $760. [Source]
Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG)
Sandra Bullock in Alexander McQueen. 3.5 I can’t help but compare this to the dress she wore at the Golden Globes, which I liked so much better!
The old man crush
I’d say just about every girl has one. Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise pre-scientology… Mine is Michael Vartan!
Best known for his roles in Alias with Jennifer Garner and Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore, Michael Vartan is a dreamboat even at 40 years old.
So who is your old man crush?!
Bonnaroo Style
The lineup was amazing this year and if it weren’t in Tennessee and in… say, Seattle maybe, I would’ve been there in a second! My dear friend Ashlea is from there however, and she is sending me a shirt!
I don’t have any highlights from the festival itself but here are some fashion snapshots:
Drew Barrymore is a hippy indian child. This isn’t a great outfit but I feel like everyone should be allowed to dress like whatever for a festival just because it’s fun.
