Did you Hear About the Morgans Trailer

@ Yahoo! Video

Having vacationed in Wyoming this summer, I found this doubly funny. Love Hugh Grant!!

Wondering why they picked Hugh Jackman to host the Oscars?

If you're wondering why Bill Condon (director of Chicago) and the new producers of this year's Oscars chose Hugh Jackman to host, remember, he's not only the Sexiest Man Alive, but a man who won a Tony award for A Boy From Oz. He's hosted the Tony's and earned an Emmy for that gig. I think he's going to be a fantastic host, and look fantastic in a tux doing it! If you've only seen Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, take a look at these videos of Hugh, song and dance man and host extraordinaire. Awards Daily has found three great YouTube clips of Hugh from the Tony's over the years:

I just adore this one.




Like Awards Daily, I hope we might see a bit of Peter Allen at the Oscars, gold lame pants, leopard shirt and all! I saw Hugh in A Boy From Oz on stage, third row center and worth every penny. He was beyond amazing. Hugh does one of the numbers from the show on the 2004 Tony's (where he won!) and mortifies Sarah Jessica Parker. It's priceless!

Sex and the City - mini-review

I caught Sex and the City last night with three girlfriends and we all loved it. You don't have to be a fan of the show to enjoy it, but if you have watched at least some of the shows, there are little touches included that bring an extra smile. I laughed so hard at some points, and surprisingly to me, got a bit teary-eyed at one part. For fans of the show, it has everything in it that you could want and the things that happen to the characters are a logical extension of who they are and where we left them 4 years ago. Jennifer Hudson of Dreamgirls fame is Carrie's new assistant and I found her very sweet.

David Eigenberg, who plays Miranda's husband, Steve, is from our hometown and his mother owns a preschool where one of my neighbor's sends her daughter. David's mother rented the town trolley to take all her friends to see the movie opening weekend here, and when she called her son, her friends yelled out to tell him he has a nice butt! LOL!

Go see this movie with some girlfriends! Three and a half stars.

Sex and the City beats Indy in Box Office race

WOW!! This was a shocker to studio execs. Sex in the City made an estimated $55.7 million in box office this weekend, taking the number one spot away from Indiana Jones. Women power!! I hope this finally makes execs see that chick flicks CAN make money, and that women DO like to see movies -- movies that are about things they care about and not video game retreads for teenagers!

The NY Times reports on Sarah Jessica Parker's reaction:

“It is kind of mind-boggling,” Sarah Jessica Parker, the “Sex and the City” star, said in a telephone interview from her Manhattan home on Saturday. “We are thrilled and humbled that the audience came out.”
