Did You Read Sweet Valley High Books Growing Up?
Sweet Valley High, a book series that had a twenty-year run starting in 1983, centered on the lives of teen twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield from — you guessed it — Sweet Valley, CA. There was even a television show based on the books.
Word on the street is that Jennifer's Body screenwriter Diablo Cody will be at the helm of a project to produce and direct an adaptation of the Sweet Valley High books.

The product, which is offered in four different flavors, comes in 5-ounce resealable bags for a reasonable price ($3.79).

Flashback: Moon Unit Zappa Singing "Valley Girl"
In 1982, Frank Zappa's oddly named 14-year-old daughter Moon Unit poked fun at "Val-Speak" when she mimicked the speech of chicks who live in LA's San Fernando Valley. As she's saying stuff like "Gag me with a spoon," daddy Frank is talking about how dumb the girls are. I don't think anything's changed—she's basically talking about Paris and her ilk.
Charlize Brings The Valley To LA
Strongwoman Charlize was lovefest central with her husband Stuart at the LA premiere of In the Valley of Elah last night. James Franco finally made it out to a screening (too busy for the festival circuit I guess), but still couldn't be bothered to upgrade from jeans. Diane Lane was there to support her husband Josh's movie, but I am so not loving that haircut.

Arrrrrrhh ya feeling geeky? If you're a Cult of Mac-er you'll be pleased to learn you can now watch “Pirates of Silicon Valley,” the 1999 made for TV 1999 movie about the beginning of the beef between Apple founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, for free on Google video.
