NY Post thinks Sienna Miller is A-list

Link: JUDE'S NANNY NOT SO DANDY

This story is regarding the nanny that Jude Law cheated with. They ridicule her because she’s kinda chubby and not very sexy in a photo shoot she did for The Mirror. On this point they are right -- she looks a little like a deer in headlights. Anyone who has watched ANTM knows there is a reason why some people model and others don’t. I don’t really care what the post thinks of the nanny.

My real problem with this article is they call sienna miller an A-list actress. Really? A-list? Where is this list and who else is on it with her? Giselle? Tyra Banks? Jessica Simpson?

As far as I know, she’s only done Alfie and she barely had any lines in that. She might be a great actress (I hear she's been doing great on stage in London), but at this point she’s only famous for being engaged to Jude Law.

Anyway, the story made me laugh out loud. That paper is so ridiculous, and their gossip is getting worse. The Daily News ELLE story about Nina Garcia was such a great scoop and the Post has yet to mention it.

Lost love?

Can you love someone you only met once? In college, I bought this guy coffee because he was an off-campus student and it was the end of the semester and I had meal plan points left. His name was Dennis and he had the best smile I had ever seen. That wasn't why I did it, I just thought it would be nice to save someone a few bucks so close to Christmas. Anyway, someone interrupted us and we went our seperate ways.

Right before I was about to graduate I was running into the student center to meet some friends for a end of the year party celebration thing. On the way in this guy with a great smile started walking toward me like he knew me. I smiled back not knowing who the hell he was, and then he started talking to me and he mentioned that I had bought him coffee back in December. He was really freaking cute and we talked for over thirty mintues, even moving out of the sun to sit down. Then once again someone interrupted us and we went our seperate ways. I gave him my number and hung around the student center on a day he said he'd be there studying, but I never ran into him again.

But I don't even know his last name, all I know is that he had these dreamy eyes and warm smile. I'm not even sure what he looks like anymore . . . in my head I picture him like Mark Ruffalo, but who knows. So, can you fall in love in thirty minutes? I think about him time to time, with the same pang of regret from other things I didn't pursue. Like if I had just come out and said "you're cute. what's your number?" and he didn't give it, I'd be in the same situation I'm in right now. Except I wouldn't be thinking I was missing out on something.

Johnny Depp rocks

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was really great. Tim Burton is a sick man, but I think this was his best film in years. Johnny Depp is absolutely wonderful, as usual. He just becomes the character, so much so that you forget you're watching Johnny Depp.

The daddy subplot was unncessary, but Burton will probably never give up that subtext in his films. However, it didn't detract from the film.

What I liked most about the film is that it is so different than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, so I could enjoy this one without comparing it to Gene Wilder's film. So now we have two great film versions of the children book, the more recent one being much darker, scarier, and (naturally) bizarre. Well done guys!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Is it just me, or does it seem like Johnny Depp is impersonating Michael Jackson in the trailer for this movie? The hair, the makeup, the voice. See for yourself.

Whatever, I adore him. I've loved him ever since Cry-Baby, because after Jump Street he could have gottten rich off of prety boy movie roles, but he never did that. He always played those quirky, eccentric characters. I love that America embraced him for doing what he always did -- his performance in Pirates was as outrageous, daring, and original as his previous work.

So, I'll go see it for him, since Tim Burton has let me down so many times before. Also, I saw Depp say in an interview he wanted to stay as far away from the Gene Wilder character since he loves that film. awww. i heart johnny.

Oh, and I am totally going to see the Corpse Bride (trailer) when that comes out. It looks just as cool as Nightmare Before Christmas, which I still can't decide to watch if I should watch at Halloween or at Christmas. Either way, I feel like it's the wrong time of year. I should probably just watch it in November or July just to avoid the pressure of the decision.

Online dating is scary

It's like the most bizarre people submit their profiles. Are there that many crazy people in the world? Or is it just that only crazy people are responding to my online profiles. You know, I don't like dating in real life, so I'm not sure why I thought online dating would be any different. Makes me almost wish in arranged marriages.

Family is exhausting

It's like pulling teeth getting my cousins to talk. Why do I have to spend a beautiful Sunday with these people? We have nothing in common except for the fact that our parents are related. And they look bored to tears the whole time they were here. Thank god we're down to two visits a year.

I'm a Liar

I'm not a total media whore. I hate magazines. It's probably because I work in the industry. But truly magazines suck. They can never print the truth because we live in a sue-happy world (whether the subject matter is celebrities or gardening) so they are ridiculously fawning. Also, if they ever said anything bad about anyone or anything advertisers would pull their money, which means no more magazine.

So, we have a bullshit industry that is based in fantasy but insists on instructing men and women on how to lives their lives. The actual production of the magazines ruins the environment, and everyone in edit is crazy.

So, I'm a liar. Not that other forms of media are any better or any worse . . . they are at least more entertaining.
