Last night's episode had to be one of the blandest of the season. And really I blame it on the fact that there was no Dominique. Sure she wasn't America's Next Top Model, but she added some spice to the mix. Oh, well. On to the final episode. . . As is typical for the last episode of the season, the show felt rushed. The girl's were whisked to a photoshoot/commercial, then immediately to the elimination panel, then the final two were off to their final runway show, and then bam — ANTM.
Yesterday you all were pretty evenly split between Anya and Whitney on who you thought was going to win. And today you seemed pretty happy with the end result. But were you as underwhelmed as I was with the episode as a whole? I mean, nothing beats Chantal tripping the man on the stilts from last season's finale. Be sure to weigh in on what you thought in the comments, check out the photos from last night's ep and take my quiz below! When you're done, hop on over to Bella's beauty quiz, too.
Wow, the trailer for The Edge of Love (previously titled The Best Time of Our Lives) looks breathtakingly beautiful. The film follows the true story of a love triangle between the poet Dylan Thomas (played by Brothers and Sisters' Matthew Rhys!), his wife Caitlin (Sienna Miller) and a woman named Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley). Vera eventually married William Killick (the ever-chilling Cillian Murphy) but still couldn't tear herself away from her poet — despite becoming close friends with Caitlin. In the strange real-life story, the jealous William ultimately attacked Dylan and Caitlin's house.
Comparisons could be made to Atonement, for sure, as the visual tone of the film has that same sweeping, desperate romance (and the hair, makeup and costume artists have done an impeccable job on this film as well). Knightley even says her husky "Come back" in the trailer. But it also looks distinctly, grippingly different. Especially for those of you who enjoyed Becoming Jane, or any number of other dramatic films about writers' lives, you must treat yourself to this extremely beautiful trailer.
There's no U.S. release date yet (sad!) but the film premieres at the Edinburgh Film Festival on June 18 and opens elsewhere in the UK June 20. To watch the trailer, read more
Blockbuster Video Becomes A Living Museum
GiggleSugar has a hilarious video from fake news source The Onion in which people take a tour of the antiquated Blockbuster Video store where people used to drive miles just to rent a movie.
Fox revealed its Fall TV schedule at the 2008 upfronts this morning, announcing two new shows and the two-hour "telefilm" 24 prequel that will air in November before the regular (much delayed) new season of the show starts up again in January 2009.
The Fox show getting the most buzz this upfront season (and the basket in which Fox is placing all its eggs) is the J.J. Abrams drama Fringe (featuring Joshua Jackson — yay, Pacey!) which will follow House (in a new spot) on Tuesday nights. The other new addition to the schedule is the scripted comedy Do Not Disturb (formerly known as The Inn) which is directed by Jason Bateman.
American Idol said goodbye to one of the final three on Wednesday which gives us our 2008 top two finalists. Of the three above, many could have predicted two of them would make it this far (ahem! Davids) and one has shocked many by fighting her way to the top. So was there an Idol upset? Or do the top two look the way many of us expected? To see some of my thoughts and discuss, just read more
Nicky Hilton was spotted leaving The Ivy restaurant after a day of shopping with sister Paris. Her casual yet stylish outfit, which consisted of skinny jeans, tall black boots and an Alice + Olivia military blazer, was perfect for the occasion.
