Hello everyone! Happy friday!

Ok so, to start things off today I have a book recomendation: Revolutionary Road. I started reading this morning and in my 45 minute commute, I read 100 pages. It's unbelievable. Richard Yates was such an incredibly talented author with such an ability to convey emotion. Anyways, if you're looking for something to read, check it out.

So, Frank, I realized we totally skipped Josh and Fergie's wedding. This a couple I like, they've been together a while, they're both attractive people and good at what they do. They recently released some photos to US Weekly. Check 'em out.http://www.usmagazine.com/news/fergie-josh-duhamel-release-new-intimate-wedding-photos
..they're pretty open with the press, but not in an annoying (Liza and David, sorry Frank, even you know that was a misstep) way.

Michael Phelps was suspended from US swimming for 3 months for the pot picture fiasco. This sucks, he is an incredible athlete but how dumb can you be?!

So apparently, Etta was "kidding" about her Beyonce bashing. "I didn't really mean anything. "Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude. ... That's probably what went into it."
...I don't know if I beleive it. What do you think? I think she was pissed, lost herself, and decided maybe it was too mean to have publicly released. Not that I'm a huge Beyonce fan in any sense, just my take on the situation.

What are your thoughts about Christian Bale's rant? It's all too similar of the Alec Baldwin thing. Baldwin, in my opinion, is much more likeable now than he ever was. 30 Rock will do that for you. So do you think it will hurt CB's career?


So Kate Winslet is talking back to the bitches who scrutinized her GG speech. Good for her. Honestly, she doesn't generally win things and isn't it nice to see someone so appreciative and blown away for a change? I know we love her, but other people I have spoken with thought it was cute. This is what she said:
"It's the one thing that has surprised me about this thing of winning awards; I thought that people just reviewed the films. I didn't realize that they reviewed speeches, too.
I don't tend to read reviews of things but when people are reviewing a speech and being somewhat unkind about it, well, what can you say? Look, I wasn't prepared at all. I really didn't think I was going to win and I was genuinely overwhelmed. I'm sorry."
..I loved Kate's speech and her genuine shock. I think I'd be just as supporitve of any other actress who delivered such a speech, even if it it wasn't Kate Winslet. I hope she is just as shocked at the Oscars, and if she wins, I wouldn't be suprised if she makes a little jab at the critics who had something to say about her Golden Globes speech. Honestly, I think it was much better than a lot of the people who had clearly rehearsed their speeches infront of a mirror. We love you, Kate!

So the other day, Jessica Simpson walked off stage during a performance in tears and apparently mouthed the word "Sorry," to the crowd.She said her voice was weak. I think it has to do with all the negative press, I'm sure it wears a girl down. That's sad. I think she could be heading in the same direction as Britney was with the press a few years ago, but I don't think Jess has the staying power Brit does. Is this it for her?
