Mr. Brooks

PLOT: The story follows a man with a murderous alter ego. Tracy Atwood is a tough detective whose devotion to her craft catches the attention and respect of the serial killer she is hunting, which leads to a symbiotic relationship.

MY OPINION: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this movie. It was awesome. Kevin Costner and Demi Moore really did a good job. When Kevin Costner plays a bad guy he does such a great job and he's creapy sometimes. The movie is excellent.

Way To Go - Team Bruno

I fell in love with this show the minute it started. From the beginning I loved Team Bruno. They lost the first two rounds and had to vote off two team members. They sang and out danced Team Carrie Ann every week. I was happy to see them win when it counted the most. Also, the four team members left were my favorites from the start. :)

Across the Universe

PLOT: An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.


MY OPINION: Aaron and I watched this movie yesterday and fell in love with it. He’s not into musicals but having 30 different Beatles songs throughout the film he decided he would try and watch with me. He said it was the best musical he’s ever seen. I like musicals and I thought it was fantastic.

NKOTB - WTF!?!?

After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.

The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.

Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.

There's a new ballad on the block.

Nearly 14 years after breaking up, the '90s boy band New Kids On The Block are back with a new ballad on their official Web site.

The song (its name isn't revealed) plays over a promotional video for the band that says the Kids once had it all – a $1 billion in album sales, millions of fans, with music that "influenced a generation" – but then "walked away from it all."

The video next teases the a comeback, asking: "Are you ready?"

The song, a source says, was recorded by all five Kids last November in Orlando

I LOVE TV!

I am so excited, Lost starts on Thursday. I’m happy they will air a "catch up" before season four starts. I have forgotten all that’s happened in the last three seasons.


I miss Heroes so, so much. This has been a excellent show so far. I love the characters and the story line.


I started watching Weeds about a week ago and I’ve finished seasons one and two. I can’t wait to get my hands on season three. This show is hilarious. I love Mary-Louise Parker. She plays the part of Nancy very well.


One Tree Hill is still one of my favorites. I love how they’ve moved the show forward four years. The characters are still there but they are older and now professional. I still want Lucas and Peyton together.


October Road is something I still find myself watching. It’s not my favorite but I still like it.


Dance Wars: Bruno and Carrie Ann - I love it! I’m a sucker for these types of shows. Dancing and singing is a favorite of mine. Plus they have some really hot guys on the show that make it worth while to watch.


I still love American Idol. I’m more into the show once they get to Hollywood. It’s funny the first couple of times watching people who can’t sing. But in my opinion it gets a little old after a while.


Gossip Girl is great too. I’ve only caught a couple of episodes but I love it. I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD so I can catch up.


I’ve stared watching Celebrity Rehab and Gone Country.

Rock Band

I am in love with our Xbox 360 and Rock Band. It's the coolest video game (in my opinion) that has hit the market in a long time. We purchased the game on Saturday and had invited Dain and his girlfriend Erin over to play. They didn't leave until 6am. We didn't even realize we had been playing for seven hours. Aaron and I have been messing around with it since. I wanted to play sick from work today just to play Rock Band. If you have the chance to play it, do it. You will love it!


A screen shot of gameplay.

I am very proud of myself this year. I finished up all the Christmas shopping and had everything wrapped a week ago. I normally wait to the last minute, and try to shop but, not this year.

I wanted to wish everyone a very, very Merry Christmas! I know we will all be busy Christmas eve and Christmas day so I wanted to let people know I would be thinking of them on this special day. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Lots of Love

The three Wise Women...

What would have happened if it had been the three Wise Women instead of three Wise Men?

- they would have asked directions...
- arrived on time...
- helped deliver the baby...
- cleaned the stable...
- brought practical gifts...
- and made a casserole.

But what would they have said as they left?

- "Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that gown?"
- "I heard that Joseph isn't even working right now!"
- "And that donkey they are riding has seen better days too!"
- "Virgin, my ass! I knew her in school!"
- "That baby doesn't look anything like Joseph!"
- "Want to bet on how long it will take before you get your casserose dish back?"
- "Did you see that Drummer boy, he can beat my drum anytime!"

Milo Ventimiglia

I watched the "Big Girls Don't Cry" video by Fergie today and noticed Milo Ventimiglia in it. I was very impressed and thought if you didn't know then you might want to watch the video too. I've now seen it a couple of times. hehe

Barbara Walters Presents:The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2007

Justin Timberlake - I love this guy! He has the entire package. Good looks, he can dance, sing and he’s hilarious. I loved it when Barbara ask him if he’s bringing sexy back... Then where did it go? Haha! Also, by watching the video clips Justin puts on an excellent concert. I had no clue that he won an Emmy for his guest performance on SNL (Dick in a box). That skit was AWESOME!

Katherine Heigl - She seems to be having a great year. I don’t watch Grey’s but I have seen a couple of her movies in her younger years. She’s very pretty and she doesn’t think she’s that fascinating.

President William Jefferson Clinton - He mostly talk about Hilary and how she would make a great President. They also showed all the memorabilia from his terms in the White House in his Harlem office.

Tom Anderson & Chris DeWolfe - The MySpace media moguls just amaze me. Too bad we didn’t come up with such a site. These guys sold the MySpace company for $586 million. They still run the company and play a huge part even though they no longer own it.

David & Victoria Beckham - I love this couple!!! They seem so down to earth and they absolutely love each other. David would love to have two or three more children and Victoria says “honey I already had you three boys”. David said when he saw Victoria as part of the Spice Girls he knew right then that he had to meet and win her over. They talked of the first time they meet and it cracked me up. She said she loved that he was partying in a café with his parents by his side. And he comes back to say she was there just getting drunk. And her response was hey you weren’t supposed to tell that part. lol (love these two)

Don Imus - I wasn’t familiar with him so I wasn’t as interested. He’s some talk show host that was fired for saying some nasty things about a girls basketball team. All is well now. He apologized and the girls accepted.

Jennifer Hudson - Has really gone far since her debut on American Idol. She lost to Fantasia but from what I can tell she is a much bigger star. She appeared in Dream Girls and won a Oscar at the age of 26. She can definitely sing.

Hugo Chavez - The president of Venezuela was very strange to me. He claimed to love the United States but I don’t think he does at all. He loved calling President Bush a donkey. I’m not really familiar with him either so I don’t care to write shit about him. Haha

And the number one most fascinating was....

J. K. Rowling - She is the author of Harry Potter. I thought it was a little weird that Barbara didn’t meet with Joanne in person. She was a very intelligent little girl. She had very little friends growing up. As an adult she decided she wanted to be an author. She was on the train when all these ideas of a book was flowing through her head. She had no pen or paper but by the time she arrived at her destination she had the plot. She married, had a child and then divorced and went on welfare. While raising her child she started to write the book. She was rejected a ton of times but now it’s a phenomena.
