Blake Lively is returning from Gossip Girl and slipping back into her role as Bridget Vreeland in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 this week in theaters. I for one am unimpressed at this attempt to cash in one more time. First of all, sequels that exist soley to make a producer a couple million more dollars are a waste of time. Second, I saw the first movie and i thought it sucked.
Ok, so being a male in my late twenties I was not exactly what they had in mind when thinking “Target demographic” However, sucky is sucky no matter what. Blake Lively left so little an impression on me that I forgot she was even in it. In fact, the only one that I even remembered was America Ferrera and that is just because she’s ore my type anyway.
Blake Lively does a passible job on gossip girl but the fact remains that she is a generic, interchangeable bobble headed actress. There are a couple dozen women just like her making movies and tv today and I doubt I could pick her out of a line up if asked to do so. I can’t fault her too much though. She is just who she is, a specific type that is popular in our culture right now. She fits the type and so the powers that be in hollywood manufactured a star out of her. She’s probably makingg some pretty decent bank right now so more power to her. If only I had been born a “type.” or rather, if only I had been born the right type.
So lets review, Blake Lively, generic bobblehead. Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2, cynical ploy to make more money. Do I care about either. I care enough to write this entry, bitching about it while my baby takes a nap. Beyond that though, I don’t think I’ll let it bother me for the rest of the week.

Sheryl Crow Jeans, just the thing you need to wear to a Sheryl Crow Concert. I’m glad Sheryl has found a way to cash in on her fame. It’s always nice to know that a celebrity will never have to worry about where that next paycheck is coming from although I must say celebrities are far more entertaining when they are having to hustle for that next paycheck (I’m looking at you Gary Coleman).
These Sheryl Crow Jeans are designed to be eco friendly. They are made with fair trade cotton and denim. This is good for protecting the rights of exploited people but I fail to see how they are eco friendly or is that also what fair trade does? Color me out of touch. I’ve always been more interested in they coffee and chocolate anyway.
I’ve never been to a Sheryl Crow concert. I imagine it’s about like her music: bland, inoffensive, and uninspiring but she is in her 40’s and still looks pretty hot. I used to be into her music when I was a teenager and had not heard anything good yet. I also nursed a stupid crush on her and Sophie B. Hawkins and now I just want to figure out how to play grown up games with the two of them.
Sheryl Crow Jeans will be part of her Bootheel Trading Co. by Sheryl Crow line. I don’t get what is wrong with just stamping her name on the back pocket of all of them. Why does she have to pretend that they are anything other than just another attempt to cash in on her fame? At least all the women in their thirties who are still fans will have something to wear to the next Sheryl Crow Concert they attend. Come to think of it, I like middle aged women in tight jeans and I wonder why I am not at that concert.
Shia Labeouf, star of Transformers and all around mediocre actor, apparently can’t complete a simple task such as driving drunk. This stands to reason though. His other runins with the law seem so penny ante, so half assed and pussified that you have to wonder if maybe they’re not just part of some carefully cultivated “Bad Boy” Image that is all the rage in hollywood these days. I’m not saying he crashed on purpose, I’m just saying that it falls in line with his pattern of being a dipshit.
Shia Lebeouf was taken to the hospital and had to have extensive surgery on his hand and he was also treated for injuries to his head and knee. Another unamed party wa sseen crawling from the wreckage by witnesses, possibly a Shia Labeouf girlfriend. She was treated for minor head injuries. After surgery Shia was arrested for misdemeanor DUI, i guess its a misdemeanor if you only hurt yourself.
The Shia Labeouf movie Transformers 2 will suffer without the presence of its star for about amonth according to representatives of the actor. It’s arguable that all shia labeouf movies suffer more with the presence of the actor. Seriously, have you seen Transformers? The nervous puppy thing works for a couple minutes but after awhile I just want to take him back to the pound and get my money back. And I just don’t see Megan Fox falling for him no matter how emotionally needy she is. He’s a complete douche.
Anyone who has ever seen Shia Labeou pics could tell you that he is a wimpy looking guy. He looks like the sort of 22 year old jackass who will go out and have a couple green apple martinis and flip his truck on the way home. Just another hollywood asshole thinking that the rules don’t apply to him. Whatever, he got off lucky it was only his hand that got hurt and not his pretty little face.
Matthew Broderick is cheating on Sex and the City’s Sarah Jessica Parker, to whom he has been married for 11 years. At least, that’s what that bastion of reputable journalism Star Magazine claims. If its true, I say, You go boy! As one blogger put it “Matthew Broderick finally realized he was married to Sarah Jessica Parker.” Now, I don’t condone infidelity. I remain quite faithful to my wife and will continue to do so. But a man has needs and as long as it doesn’t affect my own marriage I say go for it. Woman have needs to and the same rule applies. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s none of my business. I of course earn hypocrite points by writing about it here. I don’t care, do as I say not as I do. My favorite Matthew Broderick movie is Ferris Beuller followed by war games but I must say that the Producers sucks donkey balls.
I’m not sure why I am expected to care about the marital fidelity of Matthew Broderick or any other celebrity for that matter. Paying this much attention to a celebrity marriage and how faithful either one of them is gives the impression that their marriage even matters. It doesn’t matter at all to me but it barely matters to them. Matthew Broderick has been married to SJP for 11 years and that’s practically a lifetime in hollywood where most marriages seem to last 2 or 3 years. I’ve been married almost 5 years nows and will probably be married for 55 more at least and if I cheated on my wife then that would matter.
