It's not that the trailer for The Blind Side isn't compelling; the problem is that it combines Sandra Bullock's twangiest, most-over-the top lines with a heartrending song, which makes it seem schlocky. That's exactly what I expected from the movie, but I have to admit that I was wrong — to my surprise, I found it to be a sentimental gem that's actually quite restrained.
The Blind Side is the true story (based on Michael Lewis's book) of NFL player Michael Oher, who grew up in Memphis's projects with his drug-addicted mother and landed in and out of foster homes.

While many of us are rabidly awaiting tomorrow — aka New Moon Day, as it's known around Sugar HQ — the cast is undoubtedly looking forward to the end of the promotional rounds. But their exhaustion doesn't make them any less eager to please — witness Kristen Stewart on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, who starts out a little quiet, but eventually warms to the funnyman. She divulges how Martha Stewart confessed a dream about Robert Pattinson to her — to which Stewart offered to hook them up (she even imitates the domestic goddess!).

Well here's something I didn't see coming — while taping tonight's episode of The Late Show With David Letterman, Dave revealed to the audience that he was recently blackmailed for $2 million dollars. Apparently the extortionist sent Dave a letter a few weeks back, threatening to go public with information that the talk show host has had sexual relationships with several female members of his staff.
Dave went on to tell the audience that he met with the individual and had the person in question arrested after passing over a fake check for $2 million.

The big release of New Moon is just five days away, which means the film's stars are in turbo mode to promote it. They've already popped up on red carpets all over the world, but now they're bringing it home to hit the interview circuit here in the states. The list is a bit overwhelming, but I've mapped out the next week so that you can all program your DVRs accordingly!
