water for elephants, the historical novel about a traveling circus set in depression-era u.s., easily one of the best novels i’ve read in my life (my very quick review here), is being adapted for the big screen as we speak. of course, if you are one of the bat-sh** crazy robert pattinson fangirls, you know this by now.
the book, written by sara gruen, itself has gained a following even before talks of a movie adaptation surfaced. but when it was confirmed some time ago that mr. edward cullen himself was playing jacob, the following increased probably ten-fold thanks to the world’s most ravenous fans.

and i just wrote about andrew garfield in the previous entry. one of the most anticipated movies of the year involves 1) our future spider-man, 2) the golden standard of male pop artists and 3) the guy who gained our affections fighting zombies.
the social network, based on ben mezrich’s book the accidental billionaires: the founding of facebook, a tale of sex, money, genius and betrayal, premiers october 1 this year. that’s right, facebook. your favorite cyber hangout has a founding story rich enough for a red carpet premier in tinseltown. a history from six long(?) years ago.
the wait is finally over. taking the place of tobey maguire as peter parker in one of the most lucrative movie franchises in history is andrew garfield.
fiona “fi” glenanne (gabrielle anwar), the “trigger-happy ex-girlfriend” of lead character micheal westen (jeffrey donovan) in the successful spy series burn notice is savvy, sexy, cool, and there is a little war-mongerer in that tiny bikini body that makes her the boon of enemies. but what is there to fear in a munitions expert when it comes in this smoking package?
sweet sixteen! both dakota and saoirse turned sixteen this year. and now that they have come of age, i would really love to pit one’s style against the other.
hayden panettiere – like
i’m wondering why she is all coiffed yet walking along a street with garbage in the background… nevertheless i am all for the neutral oversize shirt and dark skinny jeans (a combination that’s been trendy for the past how many years). i’m not a big fan of large sling bags for myself, but i like seeing them on other people, like this blue one on hayden. of course, the thong sandals and the aviator shades are staples.
ok, i am always rooting for the underdog. that’s the way i’m built, i like dark horses sailing past the thoroughbreds: there was kris allen last year whom i cheered for like a lunatic even though i was certain adam lambert would win. in the end, kris went on to take the prize and blew the betting odds.
this week, words like “rigged”, “upset” and “unexpected” are surfacing all over threads on idol news.
question: is it fair to say that this year lee pulled the rug from under crystal’s feet with another upset? can we even consider him the underdog?
of course, not. and here’s why:
for winning the 10th mirror ball trophy in dancing with the stars!
fil-am nicole scherzinger with pro partner derek hough. further proof that pinays got that natural rhythm!
fan art from a fantard (lifted from top idol):
i was hoping for a frau bait sing-off (lee vs. casey), but i have to admit crystal has some big talent. i still think lee has the mighty lead here, though we can never really predict how america votes. remember adam and kris last year? i loved kris because he was the cutest, but no one could have foreseen adam losing the plum. he was leading the pack so much that oddsmakers calculated a bet on adam as a losing one even if he wins; that is, they thought it was that obvious. but look at what happened!
i digress.
finals next week! go, lee ftw!
the review: movie week is a snoozefest but for the most die-hard of fans.
i haven’t seen the show yet (it is telecast here early evening), but i have read the real-time bloggers’ take on the episode and a fellow fantard’s opinions over ym.
