Dear Kate,
Hollywood knows a little something about birthing some babies this week. Every day this week, at least one celeb has announced that they are pregnant. It is a good thing that People.com has a celebrity baby blog and man it is going to be popping (no pun intended) in 2011!
The Beckhams really kicked (again, no pun intended) it off this week announcing their fourth kid is on the way. I'm convinced that they want their own soccer team. Then Owen Wilson said his "girlfriend" is pregnant too. Now, I put that in quotes because I have never heard of this supposed 1-year gal pal. And ironically, the very next day, Kate Hudson announces that she is pregnant with her "boyfriend's" baby. Now, I cannot remember when they broke up but both have significant others who I didn't know about, then they announce they're parents to be just days apart? That's a little tricky. I think there's a story there. Jane Krakowski announced last week she was engaged AND preggers! Now, Selma Blair says her eggo is preggo!
Then there are other people who I don't really know but that chick from Inception, some model/actress. Let's not leave out the speculation around Khloe Kardashian! I would not be surprised by that one.
I can just see the star-studded back to school nights now! The rest of the world can hold off on procreating. Hollywood's got this one covered!

My Lack of Blogging + Kudos and Boos!
Dear Kate,
I admit it, 2010 was not a very consistent blogging year. And the first week of 2011 was not very bloggy either. But, I have decided, that like my new year's resolution to take my vitamins on a daily, I will begin my blogging-frenzy this week! I know, control your excitement! Let's just hope it lasts past tomorrow!
And now onto Kudos and Boos...
Kudos...The Kings Speech. I have never learned so much about English government then I did this morning watching this movie. I think it should win all the awards. That's right I said it. Colin Firth and Geoffry Rush were superstars. And Helena Bohnam Carter, who is typically super weird was so good as the Queen! Also, there were three Harry Potter people in the movie. Need I say more?
Boos...It's freaking freezing. Unusually cold for this time of year AND for California. Is it too much to ask for 70 degrees on a regular? Apparently.
Kudos...Country Strong. Saw this movie last night (duh you were with me) and it was so good! Special shout outs to Tim McGraw, Leighton Meester (definitely different from the Blair Waldorf we know and love to hate) Garret Hudland and Gweneth. Very enjoyable movie.
Boos...The soundtrack to Country Strong. It's silly, they broke it up into two cds, but the first one has a bunch of the songs by country superstars, not the people from the movie. The second CD is much better though!
Kudos...Real Housewives of Bev Hills. It's official. This is my favorite installment. Followed closely by Jersey and then OC. I feel like we're getting closer to the end of the season, and this stuff just keeps topping each episode! Faves: Adrienne and Lisa Least fave: Taylor (on account of being so boring).
Boos...Well I can't think of one, so we will go with the weekend going by so quickly! If only we had one more day! :(
Ok until tomorrow (I hope!)

The Movie Going Experience
Dear Kate,
In the past two weeks, I have seen a total of 4 movies. Some would call that excessive. I, on the other hand see it as something lonnnng over due. Although it costs an arm and a leg to see a movie, you are really paying for the experience. Yes they are making TVs the size of a house now a days, it still is not the same. I've taken the time to compile some of the key "theater-only" perks that you can't get anywhere else (I know, I'm such a giver)::
1. Soda Fountain Sodas and Popcorn. First of all, yum. Although you could save some moolah with your canned soda and instant popcorn but your popcorn is always cold and not drenched in butter and lacking that key boost of carbonation. Of course you could have a popcorn machine, a "soda-stream" and a size 87 inch tv in your home theater but to have all three of those things, well I find that highly unlikely. And I just love me a soda fountain soda.
2. Previews. Some people hate them, but I love them. And that's where we make our list of movies that we are gonna see! Usually, if I love the trailer, then I will love the movie. But, every once in a while, you do get played by one. For example, the Social Network preview. That really didn't do the movie justice because, well, I had no idea what was going on. But boy oh boy that was a sa-weet movie. But back on track, I love previews.
3. Complete concentration. When you go to the movies, you are there to watch a movie. You wont be interrupted, so it usually has your complete attention. You can't get distracted by a phone call, playing on the computer, what have you. Of course, there could be some twerp behind you kicking your chair but that's what the international sign of "that's annoying" is for. And I admit it, I am one of those people who talk occasionally through movies, but it's to point things out, not to be annoying. It's really a public service.
4. Comradery. This usually comes out when you see a midnight movie (Harry Potter kids really bring it in this type of situation) but I just love it when people are just get so excited to see these movies. They cheer when their faves first appear or they dress up, they are devoted fans. For example, when I saw Dark Night, there were Jokers and Batmans. Then there's Harry Potters, Gryffindor Quidditch players, Snapes! Ahh, just a sucker for comradery.
5. The Big Screen. This is really more for movies like HP, Batman, James Bond, blah blah blah, but there are just some movies you have to see on the big screen!
6. Early Bird Prices. Seeing the first movie of the day? You get like a super discount! 6 something for a movie? That's the best deal around.
It's too bad that they got rid of the trivia before movies though. Those were always entertaining!

Kudos and Boos!
Dear Kate,
Here's Kudos and Boos for the second week in a row!
Kudos...Beverly Hills Housewives for being amazing! And the drama has officially begun! In this week's episode, the ladies venture to NYC to go to the premiere of the play that Frasier was headlining. Although we have yet to reach the premiere, Kyle Richards and Camille Grammar are making some good telly as they bitch it out at the dinner table approx an hour after they land! Can't wait till next week!!
Boos...Jessica Simpson announced she was engaged today. She began dating this fool since May. Strange that it came just a little over a week since her ex husband announced his engagement, and let's not leave out that they dated for over 4 years. I wonder how involved Joe Simpson is in this relationship!
Kudos...It has to be said again, Darren Criss!! No word yet on whether he will for sure be added as a regular to the hit Glee, but it's pretty cool that he's on the show now!! And with a #1 on iTunes. Not too shabby!!
Boos...LeAnn Rimes. Her recent ex-husband just announced yesterday that he too was engaged. So she tries to win over the public by giving them a shoutout. You are going to do a lot more than congratulate them on Twitter to regain your crown, dear. I give her 10 days and then she'll pull a Jessica Simpson and announce her engagement! Actually these two ladies have a lot in common, they should be besties!!
Kudos...Spanish Town, HMB! Remember how we went for dinner on Friday night to the little house turned restaurant? I would hope so. But man that was a delicious taco!!! YUM! And they also get kudos for being super fast! Two thumbs up Spanish Town!
Boos...to another weekend biting the dust! But this means that there are just 7 working days standing in between me and Thanksgiving!
Here's to a quick week!

Yeah Ya Darren Criss!
Dear Kate,Tuesday night, fellow SI '05 grad Darren starred as the prep school friend (and potential love interest) of Kurt's on "Glee" and did awesome! His rendition of "Teenage Dream" is number one on iTunes right now! Everyone was impressed with Darren's work that there's talk that he's in negotiations with FOX to be a series regular for Season 3! He's all over the web now--even Perez Hilton gave him a shout out--and bloggers are raving about him.
Darren had a role on "Eastwick" the short lived series about the three witches of, you guessed it, Eastwick. He played the love interest of Rebecca Romaijn-no-longer-Stamos's daughter. But right when he was getting some airtime the series was nixed. I think that the Bonino's (Norcal and Socal editions) were the only one's watching it since Tom was working on that show for casting! But seems to be for the best cause now he has got a roll on a national phenomenon.
Back in the day, Darren and I took Latin together for 3 years (among other classes) so I get to say I knew him when! Yeah ya!!

kudos and boos!
Alllllllrighty Kate, here's some kudos and boos...
Kudos...SF GIANTS! I just can't get over this. It's too exciting. Even though it felt like it happened ages ago! But, who can't love the team of misfits making it all the way to the top! I tell you who can't, everyone who was at the parade this week in SF! I wasn't there (sad face), but saw it on TV and seeing a sea of orange can't help but make you cheer for them!
Boos...the people in the rest of the country who think we too excited. That's right I'm talking to you, ABC news reporter for This Week with Chistiane Amanpour who said that the Giants winning wasn't historic. He must be an A's fan.
Kudos...Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo! They got engaged this past week! And their birthdays (on the same day) are this week! Good for you, Nick and Vanessa! I've been routing for you these past 4 years!
Boos...to everyone who made last week the longest week ever. You people know who you are!
Kudos...the election is over!! Yeah ya! America has finally voted so that means we can now finally listen to the radio in peace and watch tv without hearing all of the candidates bad mouth each other. Thank god.
Boos...Keith Oberlmann. He donated some cash money to a few election campaigns and now he's suspended from NBC indefinitely without pay. You really only have yourself (and maybe your lawyer) to blame for not reading your contract more carefully.
Ok, here's to a quick week!

SF GIANTS
Dear Kate.
Ahh San Francisco Giants, how do I love thee!! Actually the Bay LOVES the Giants! This season, they fought their way to the top and went to the World Series! I admit, I didn't think it was going to happen! But now, SF finally gets to say that their team is the 2010 World Champions!
How could anyone not be excited about it? Comradery? Check! Superstitions? Just a few beards! Little team that could? Love it. And to top it all off? The Parade. People playing hookie, kids skipping school and the entire city covered in orange to celebrate! What more could you ask for? This is just what San Francisco needed.
GO GIANTS!
