Medium-Sized ‘Sex And The City: The Movie’ Spoiler Video

Filed under: Film, videos — wendy @ 3:07 pm

It’s not a huge spoiler, but it ain’t tiny either!

Above is a 48-second video clip from Sex and The City: The Movie (ugh, worst movie title ever - Comic Book Guy From The Simpsons). Like I said, it’s a medium-sized spoiler. It’s not going to ruin the movie but if you’re a strict SATC superfan, don’t watch it.

I watched it. Here are my thoughts: Miranda is the shit. Charlotte is still Charlotte. OMG, Carrie is talking with her mouth full in front of Charlotte! Where the hell is my G Samantha?

The movie hits theatres May 30.

I think the most amusing thing I’ve read related to this Sex and The City hoopla so far is Amelie Gillette’s post about Houlihan’s Sex and The City Wednesdays. Depressing stuff, but at least the poster board looks spiffy!

How Do You Like Your Eggs?

Filed under: When Rich People Get Egged — wendy @ 9:40 am

On Monday Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer got egged during an appearance at a university in Budapest, Hungary. The egg-tossing protester’s shirt read: “Microsoft = Corruption.”

In all fairness, Ballmer handled things pretty well. Not nearly as well as the egg tosser though!

Here’s the music video for Ladytron’s new single “Ghosts.” I like it. And the song grows on you, trust.

INF Daily has some adorable shots of Lily Allen living it up in France. And all I gots to say about that is: “You go, girl!”

 
 

I Wonder What Kind Of Music Enhances Bag-In-A-Box Wine

Filed under: Food and Drink — wendy @ 2:51 pm

Betty Brillz and I both love wine & music. Heck, who doesn’t? A new study suggests that playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes.

I don’t know anything about wine (except that I love it and will drink any kind that is offered to me), but you can read more about this study at BBC News. There’s even a nifty music recommendation cheat sheet. If you’re ever hanging out in a gay club, go with the chardonnay! Seriously.

 
 

Yes, You Can Has Free Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffee

Filed under: Food and Drink — wendy @ 2:17 pm

If you didn’t get your mom a Mother’s Day gift (shame on you!), it’s not too late to make it up to her. Tomorrow (May 15) is Free Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin’ Donuts!

From 10AM to 10PM, you can pick up a free 16 oz iced coffee (choose from a variety of flavors!) at your local Dunkin’ Donuts. Shoot, it doesn’t even have to be local. You can travel to a faraway Dunkin’ Donuts, round up your friends and make a road trip out of it.

Now, it pains me to tell you that a free donut does not come with the free iced coffee. That’s where they get you! You’ll go in there expecting to get a free coffee and then you’ll end up spending $25.87 on donuts. I refuse to fall for that trick, which is why I plan on eating an entire loaf of bread before I swing by Dunkin’ Donuts to pick up mum’s gift.

Mandy Moore And Ryan Adams On A Walk (That May Or May Not Be Worth Remembering)

Filed under: Celebrity Gossip — wendy @ 10:36 am

A couple of weeks ago I read some In Touch Weekly gossip about alt-country rocker Ryan Adams being “really into” mediocre teen pop star-turned-mediocre actress Mandy Moore. On Monday the two were spotted walking (though, not holding hands) together in Los Angeles (image via Jezebel).

First comes the tabloid gossip, then comes the photographic evidence courtesy of the paparazzi. Needless to say, things are getting pretty serious between Moore and Adams. I’d give them an obnoxious (but cute and totally necessary!) couple name, but I’m too busy trying to figure out what these two attracted opposites talk about together. Besides hair dye. Hmmm

*     *     *

RYAN: I was doing speedballs everyday and I started talking to myself, man. I was out of control.

MANDY: I know what it’s like to hit rock bottom. Trust me, I know. I sung the song “Candy” and when I was 15, Justin Timberlake told me that I had big feet.

RYAN: Oh man, that must’ve been so difficult for you. How did you overcome all of that?

MANDY: Time. It really does heal all wounds.

RYAN: So you really think my hair looks all right this color? I mean, like, you don’t think those people sitting by us at the deli were whispering about me, do you? Because I thought I heard one of them say “too blond.”

MANDY: I think they were saying “crouton.”

RYAN: But do you remember seeing a salad at their table?

 
 

If All Else Fails, I Can Be A Moving Body For N.E.R.D.!

Filed under: Drugs, music, videos — wendy @ 9:44 am

I’ve been happily unemployed for a few months, but all good things must come to an end…

This morning after I exhausted myself by submitting four online job applications (let’s hope the actual jobs are less work than the application process because damn, I’m pooped — I feel like I need a vacation on top of the vacation I’m already on!), I decided to unwind by checking out N.E.R.D.’s performance of “Everyone Nose” from Monday’s Late Show With David Letterman.

I liked this song when it first leaked a couple of months ago, but I’m “over it” now. I’m only posting this because I need a job. Like, really really need a job. And when I was watching N.E.R.D. perform, I couldn’t help but notice those moving bodies creating an eyesore on stage with them. What are those guys (surely they’re not so bold as to refer to themselves as “dancers”) and how can I be one of them?

This is the exact type of job I’ve been looking for my entire life! One that requires little to no skill, one that will make me feel like a rock star — a job where all that’s required of me is to just show up.

If one of those moving bodies should fall victim to an unfortunate accident and lose the ability to move, I can start immediately.

EDIT: Hey, looky here: the new music video featuring America’s favorite coke addict, Lindsay Lohan.  Don’t blink or you might miss her.
