Star Sighting--Wallace Shawn!!!

12:15pm, suspiciously close to Barney's Co-op. I was so starstruck I had to look away. People reference him from The Princess Bride, but Dish never saw it. Every ex of mine had it in his collection. With each beau, I'd see The Princess Bride and think, Not this again. My recent-ish fave: Vanya on 42nd Street.

So, photos surfaced of J.Lo cuddling with a much younger, far less accomplished back-up dancer. Madonna-Britney much? Then again, Marilyn falls for youngster Colin in My Week with Marilyn, which I just saw. It's above average movie-wise and Michelle Williams is stunning as Marilyn, aka the hardest role in the world to play. For a few seconds, I forgot that it wasn't Marilyn, especially from the side. Kenneth Branagh and Judy Dench remain brilliant.

The trailer for War Horse made me giggle. Dishbrother was touched by the play, but the overly-sentimental Spielbergesque trailer induced laughter. I expected the boy and the horse to make out.

This is what we're seeing tomorrow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDY8dfwGQNU&feature=fvst. Jean Dujardin's time has come. He is what happens when Gene Kelly and Sacha Baron Cohen have sex. TG turned me on to Jean at the beginning of our courtship: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYxPpx1yCY4.

Let's Get Hitched!

Mario Cantone, our favorite wedding planner from Sex & the City, married long-time love. Did Liza sing "All the Single Ladies?" Eva Amurri also tied the knot! Congratulations to hilarious Mario and Susan Sarandon's daughter, who is a good actress on her own.

I'm still living off the high of Duran Duran who play Atlantic City in this nasty weather--a nice send-off before going home. http://s1089.photobucket.com/albums/i359/dg11469/October 24 2011 - October 30 2011/?action=view¤t=duranduranfergusonn.mp4. I'm about to watch their interview on Piers, though it will send TG out of the room.

My Week with Marilyn: I can't wait to see this. First, I love seeing Kenneth Branagh and you know playing Olivier must have given him wet dreams. No one has fully captured Marilyn but Michelle Williams, if you believe the hype, comes close--at least in this movie poster! This clip gave me chills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPMMup-ZrY4, though this trailer is a little underwhelming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-b48Aj8zkg.

Dish spent a week eating massive carbs, no vegetables or protein and didn't exercise. Lost 3 pounds.
