Website of the Day: 1000 Awesome Things
Who doesn't need a daily dose of awesome? I'm loving the latest site I stumbled upon, 1000 Awesome Things. From the surprising (#765: Thinking it's Thursday when it's really Friday) to the simply satisfying (#727: Letting go of the gas pump at just the right moment), the pain-relieving (#920: Getting the eyelash out of your eye) to small victories (#791: Getting the armrest at the movies), and my personal favorite, #654: Peeling that thin plastic film off of new electronics, the site features new awesomeness every day.
Where the Wild Things Are: A Passionate Ode to Childhood
There's been a bit of a controversy over how to market Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book, Where The Wild Things Are. Is it for kids? Adults?
Box Office: At the Top Is Where the Wild Things Are
Where the Wild Things Are lived up to its big expectations, taking the top spot at the box office this weekend with $32.4 million.
Audiences disregarded Law Abiding Citizen's less than stellar reviews (including my own), and the film took second place and raked in $21.2 million. Paranomal Activity continues to soar, climbing up to number three and making $20.1 million.
Will You Take Your Kids to See "Where the Wild Things Are?"
While the Max costume may be the hottest getup of the upcoming Halloween season, many wee ones may not actually see the flick Where the Wild Things Are. Youngsters that can't handle the pages with pictures may not be capable of dealing with the monsters in a silver-screen format. While some tots may be able to handle the long claws and yellowish eyes, others may bolt for the exit sign howling all the way home.
NYC Is Where Spike, Blake, and Tom Check Out the Wild Things
Blake Lively was one of the few ladies at last night's NYC premiere of Where the Wild Things Are. It's only Wednesday, but this was already Blake's second red carpet of the week after turning out to support boyfriend Penn Badgley Monday at his screening of The Stepfather. Blake was in rather impressive company, as Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker also turned out to see Spike Jonze's latest film.
Say What? Where the Grouchy Things Are
"I would tell them to go to hell. That's a question I will not tolerate."
— Maurice Sendak, author of the classic children's book-turned-movie Where the Wild Things Are, when asked "What do you say to parents who think the Wild Things film may be too scary?"
Blake, Forest and Tom Know Where The Wild Things Are
Blake Lively spent a second evening at a film premiere last night, joining Forest Whitaker and producer Tom Hanks for the New York premiere of Where The Wild Things Are at Alice Tully Hall. Blake wore her hair in gorgeous curls taking a trend straight from Paris Fashion Week. They were joined by director Spike Jonze and singer Karen O, who provides music for the soundtrack.
TV Tonight: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary Concert
HBO is hosting a special tonight to celebrate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary, and the line-up is star-studded. U2, Metallica, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and other acts each have a segment of the show where they'll be rocking their music, along with a few tunes by other artists who have inspired their work.
I'm glad to see Bruce and his boys here after hearing they might not perform together anytime soon, but what I'm most psyched to watch is the evening's unique musical pairings: Stevie Wonder and John Legend are teaming up to perform "The Way You Make Me Feel," Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Billy Joel have a duet to "New York State of Mind," and U2, Mick Jagger, and the Black Eyed Peas are coming together for "Gimme Shelter."
Planning For Pregnancy: Tips, Myths and Reminders
The entrance into parenthood is a mixed bag — excitement, love, adrenaline and anxiety are just a few of the emotions most parents will experience. Planning your first pregnancy means stepping into the great unknown. You want to do everything right, but soon learn there's no one perfect plan.
Jennifer Stays Upright and Out Late With Marc by Her Side
Marc Anthony led the way for Jennifer Lopez after dinner earlier this week at Madeo in LA and the following morning she was decked out in a sweatsuit for an appointment. Marc was right by her side last weekend as well, as she practiced for and then took the stage at the American Music Awards. Jennifer ultimately got more attention for falling during her performance than for her new song, which you guys aren't crazy about anyway, but she has a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
