Sisterhood rules!


Ahh, here's the sisterhood, all grown up.

Just three years ago, the sisterhood was younger and lesser known.

Back then, Amber Tamblyn was the most well known of them all. Being nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in Joan of Arcadia. Then there was Alexis Bledel, the machine-gun speaking, smart Yale gal from Stars Hollow.

Today, it's a different story. If it's not America Ferrera, it's Blake Lively you hear about. Back then, Ms Lively is the least known of the quartet.

Their new movie, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2, is gonna release on 6th August and I cannot wait to watch it. I remember catching the first one and was in complete awe of America's strong yet vulnerable Carmen. She took my breath away. I'm glad for her success in Ugly Betty. She really proves you don't need to be reed thin to succeed in this vicious industry.

Goss Gross


I enjoyed Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Thoroughly.

While watching, i couldn't help but feel that Prince Nuada, in all his made-up glory, reminds me of someone. Someone that i could not quite put my finger on.

After i came home, i went on the trusty IMDB site and hey presto, i found out who he is.

After which I let out a loud gasp. It's Luke Goss!!! what the!

This is of course not the ex-Bros member's first foray into acting, but it's certainly the most noteworthy. And weirdly enough, beneath all that unrecognisable makeup, his chiseled cheekbones still managed to make an impression.

The Sun did an interview of him, which you can read here.

Funny, I always thought the Goss bros were the epitome of boy bands, but turns out Luke had wanted to be a rockstar. Weird how things turned out.

Well he has an official site, if anyone's interested.

Chuck nabs babe

Nice. Caught this bit of news from EW.com.

The series Chuck is going to sizzle in the new season, with the appearance of Jordana Brewster.

The gorgeous exotic Brazilian is slated to be on the show for three episodes, as love interest for Zachary Levi.

She's the college girlfriend of Chuck, who crushed his heart when she slept with his best friend. Ahh the follies of youth.

Word is that xecutive producer Josh Schwartz had wanted to work with Brewster for some time, and this is as good as any time.

I remember reading a while back that Brewster was gonna be in the silver screen version of Mr and Mrs Smith, but that deal went kaput. I remember first seeing her in The Faculty and thought she'd be a big star. But after a couple of movies, her star seemed to dim little by little. And when I saw her in the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's the nail on the coffin. Her career was just abysmal.

All is not lost. She's going to be back in full babe mode in the new Fast and Furious movie. Yup, she's back, along with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. If you ask me, I think the cast finally realised that their flames waned after the first movie, which made them full fledged stars.

Since then, at least Vin Diesel had xXx and a few other movies, but Paul Walker just had several forgettable flicks.

I enjoyed the first Fast and the Furious, and thought the second one was barely watchable. Tokyo Drift was almost not watchable, but with the original cast back again, I'm really looking forward to it.
