I had no problem with it in the beginning, because she's never been a threat to me, until I found out that he hadn't even Read more
Hugh Jackman sure is a tall drink of water in his new movie Deception! I've always been a sucker for a man with an accent, but Hugh has the looks to match making him all the more desirable. He can sing, he can act, and he's great with kids, so even though he's off the market, tell me ladies, would you do, dump, or marry Hugh Jackman? Source Do, Dump or Marry? Do! Dump! Read more

On Sunday's Mad Men, Megan surprises her new hubby, Don, with a song and dance number inspired by the yé-yé girls. Derived from "yeah! yeah!", the yé-yé movement was comprised of female pop singers from France, Québec, Italy, and Spain.
