I know there is a lovely person on my f-list who recommended her Mercy Thompson series and it has taken me so long to finally get to them, and they are so good.

I fell out of love pretty quickly with the Sookie books, the writing seemed to decrease in quality after a short while and the entire genre of vamps/weres tends to be mediocre but Patricia has got it right. A female lead I can relate to, wonderfully written supporting characters and the relationships are actually realistic and hot without any of the shitty alpha male bull-shit I encounter with romance novels.

So, big thank you to who recommended her to me and of course to Patricia for writing these fantastic books.:)

The baby son of Irish actor Colin Farrell and his girlfriend, the Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus, has been baptised in Poland.

Polish newspapers Fakt and Super Express printed photographs today of the couple in a church in Krakow during the baptism.

They were pictured in the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary during the baptism ceremony of their first-born son Henry Tadeusz Farrell, who was born on 7 October.


The actress' mother, Lidia Bachleda-Curus, confirmed that the baptism took place yesterday afternoon, but did not give any more details for privacy reasons.

 When critics reference our generation’s most influential comedic forces, you always hear a tired litany of the same names (enough with the Woody Allen already). But there’s a gentle giant among Hollywood’s humor powerhouses who doesn’t get nearly enough props: Harold Ramis (Egon from Ghostbusters). Arguably, the man’s responsible for writing and directing more classics than Mel Brooks (National Lampoon’s Animal House, Stripes, Caddyshack, Vacation, Back to School, to name a few). 

Even if the director suddenly decided to hang up his moviemaking mantle, he’s already provided enough laughs for a lifetime—or a solid week of AMC programming. In between SNL gossip and assurances about the next Ghostbusters, Ramis explained why today’s comedians fail to excite him and how Groundhog Day is his free pass to each and every religion.

In the aftermath of the alleged ransacking of the Manhattan apartment they shared, Jon Gosselin and ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman continue to fling accusations at each other -- via their lawyers.

On Monday, Gosselin's attorney Mark Jay Heller told RadarOnline.com, "Hailey Glassman is going to jail, it's as simple as that." Now Glassman's camp -- who called the incident a publicity stunt -- is firing back.

"For an attorney to go out there and say someone's going to jail when they're not even arrested -- that's just irresponsible," Glassman' lawyer Stephanie Ovadia tells PEOPLE. "That is the most ludicrous, ridiculous, unnecessary statement I have ever in my life heard."

Of the investigation into the apartment trashing, Ovadia says, "All the police have done so far is fact-finding. They're trying to figure out what occurred here -- if anything -- other than two people who were living together breaking up."

Ovadia confirms that both Glassman and her mother have met with officers from the NYPD to discuss the incident.

According to her camp, Glassman did take items from the apartment, on which she split the rent with Gosselin -- but everything she took belonged to her. Gosselin "told her the apartment would be padlocked because he had not been paying rent, and she should go there and take whatever she wanted," Ovadia tells PEOPLE.

Asked about the fingerprint and handwriting analysis that Gosselin's lawyer has claimed is being conducted on the note Glassman is accused of spearing into Gosselin's dresser with a butcher knife, Ovadia says: "I don't believe there's anything to be concerned about. And I don't know of any notes. Again, I know nothing about any butcher knife. I can't even add to that nonsense."

Kim Kardashian is embroiled in a legal battle with a diet cookie manufacturer after branding its sweet weight loss treats "unhealthy."

The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star kicked off the fight with bosses at Dr. Siegel's Cookie Diet Company, accusing them of falsely claiming she was endorsing their brand.

CEO Matthew Siegel, son of the celebrity doctor behind the weight loss program, countered by filing his own lawsuit in Miami Dade County, Florida, on Tuesday morning - after discovering the star used her Twitter.com blog to claim Dr Siegel's cookies are unhealthy.

Siegel claims Kardashian had "commercial motive" for the attack because she is a spokesperson for a rival weight loss program QuickTrim.

He tells RadarOnline.com: "We received a letter a week ago asking us to remove a link to a news story (that we did not write) on our website that implied she was using and endorsing our product. And although we did this we discovered that more than a month before she had made her comments on Twitter claiming our product was "unhealthy" while somebody also leaked a letter from her lawyers to our company to a celebrity website."

Siegel is seeking unspecified damages against Kardashian.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is helping revelers ring in the New Year safely by providing free transportation services in New York and Las Vegas.

The generous rapper is handing out thousands of subway passes and vouchers redeemable for taxi rides in the Big Apple and Sin City as part of his Safe Rides program, which he launched last year.

He says, "New York stands as the world's icon for a New Year's Eve celebration and Las Vegas is the biggest party destination in the country."

"By bringing this program to both of these great cities we will continue to show the rest of the country that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn't end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely."

The coupons will be distributed on New Year's Eve.

George Clooney is handsome and savvy, but he’s also self-aware when it comes to his ladies-man reputation. When he signed to play an eternal bachelor in his latest film, Up in the Air, directed by Jason Reitman (Juno), he immediately saw parallels between the character and himself. “Jason came to my house and brought the script and I read it,” Clooney says. “There were some things that sounded like they were taken from a Barbara Walters special that I had done. I’m not completely unaware of people’s perceptions of me. I sort of felt like, if you were ever going to deal with it, this is probably the best way to do it and the best person to do it with. If you can’t point at what people think are your shortcomings, then you’re boxing yourself in.”

He’s also particular about not allowing a body double in his films, even for the split-second shot of his thumb on a suitcase handle in Up in the Air. “I bite my cuticles so I’m always ashamed,” he admits. “But when you see somebody else’s hand come in and it’s got, like, different fingers or hairy knuckles, it doesn’t look right.”

For more on Clooney and Up in the Air, plus Dave Karger’s fearless Oscar predictions, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands January 1.

Gaga Discusses Susan Boyle Duet, Using 'Different Styles' as Euphemism for 'Too Ugly'

Lady Gaga loves the Hairy Angel and thinks a duet could [happen]: "I love Susan Boyle. She is my woman of the year. She has achieved more in this year than most artists will in a lifetime." Is this the greasy-haired Alanis Morissette looks-like-a-loner (but maybe I'm just projecting) from Gaga's college years talking? [addendum A.] "Our styles are so different. I don't know if we could work together, but never say never. It would be great to work with somebody of that talent." If they did it, though, it would be a shoo-in for the most viral music video of our time.

---

I'm GaGa for SuBo

[...]
"This time last year nobody even knew who she was and now she is knocking the world's most established artists off the album and singles charts."
[...]
She said: "I have watched the clip of her singing on BGT a thousand times and every time I see SIMON COWELL's face it makes me laugh out loud. He thinks he knows everything but even he wasn't expecting that." Both GaGa and SuBo have high-profile gigs to bring in the New Year tomorrow.
Lady G is being paid £200,000 to perform at the swanky Fontainebleau hotel in Miami, while Susan will be singing on Japan's biggest TV music show, Kohaku Uta Gassen.
[...]

PHOTOS and INFO about Community episode 1.13 "Investigative Journalism," returning January 14th.






We’ve got some photos of the 2010 premiere episode of Community! This episode is called “Investigative Journalism” and it will air on Thursday, January 14th (2010!) at 8 pm ET/PT on NBC. We have to do our own investigative journalism with these pictures and see what we can glean…
  • Senor Chang is getting back to his roots. Or something. Yea.

  • Annie and Jeff will tease us by being unbearably cute/wrong together.

  • For probably a really good reason, Annie gets Britta to be a cheerleader.

  • For an even better reason, the girls decide to get all soapy with suds. This doesn’t look like a car was scene, OR a porno. So I’m at a loss for what the reason would be.


Episode Synopsis: Community “Investigative Journalism” Episode 13 – A new addition to the study group after winter break raises eyebrows; Jeff signs on as editor of the school paper.

One of Bollywood's favorite couples, Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, are set to make their comeback with the movie "My Name is Khan." The first trailer has built up some curiosity about the film which is set to release in February.

Shahrukh Khan plays the role of a man who has Autism yet manages to find love. He and his wife, face trying times as they live through the terror attacks that took place in the U.S. on September 11, 2001. As racism tests the strength of this couple's relationship, there is no saying what the outcome will be.



 


I feel like we have been waiting for a trailer for years now. I'm not really sure how I feel about this trailer...but it's unbelievably ironic after the whole New Jersey airpot affair with SRK that actually happened.

Also, have anyone here faced racism and prejudice after 9/11? I know I have.

Zelda Rubinstein, who made a name for herself starring in the Poltergeist films and has long been a vocal supporter of gay rights and AIDS research, is in failing health after being hospitalized in Los Angeles for more than a month

Sources close to the actress report to Advocate.com that the 76-year-old is in and out of consciousness and that both her kidneys and lungs are failing.

Rubinstein spoke to The Advocate earlier this year about a 1984 ad campaign she starred in urging gay men to wear condoms and practice safer sex. The actress appears as a mother figure in the ads, which predated Elizabeth Taylor's and Madonna's AIDS involvement by at least a year.

The ads found a second life earlier this year in an AIDS education campaign in Brazil.




I stumbled across this news this evening while on IMDB and I hadn't seen it on here. Apparently it was all over the net yesterday, but I mostly get my news here and I'm sure I'm not the only one so I thought I'd post it. The "mother" AIDS campaign happened before I was born and I never knew about Zelda's involvement in gay rights. Poltergeist is one of my favorite movies and Zelda's episode of Tales from the Crypt definitely scarred me as a child.

Remember: "There is no death. It is only a transition to a different sphere of consciousness."

/Film reader Craig G sent over a couple scanned photos from M. Night Shyamalan’s 'The Last Airbender'. The latest issue of Empire Magazine, the one with Matt Damon in Green Zone on the cover, has an indepth report from the set of Last Airbender.

Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film is set in a world where human civilization is divided into four nations: Water, Earth, Air and Fire.

The Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war against the other three nations. The film’s hero, the reluctant young Aang (Noah Ringer), is the “Last Airbender” — the Avatar who, according to prophecy, has the ability to manipulate all of the elements and bring all the nations together.

Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her bull-headed brother Sokka, Aang proceeds on a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. Dev Patel plays the Fire Nation’s evil prince Zuko. Exiled from the Fire Nation by his father, Zuko is sent to capture the Avatar in order to restore his honor and right to the throne.

The Last Airbender is being targeted for a July 2nd 2010 release.

"Kings of Leon Grow Tired of Hit Single 'Use Somebody'"

Photobucket

While many of their fans can't get enough of "Use Somebody", Kings of Leon apparently has grown tired of their particular hit single. Bassist Jared Followill recently shared his thought with Spin Magazine, saying "Before it was on the radio every five seconds, I thought 'Use Somebody' was a good song, but it's hard to f***kin' like it when you hear it 90 times a day."

Please allow the sexy stoner hippy Jesus drummer and fierce bass player to welcome you into this post... )
