Hey, Buzz Book Club readers, did you grab a copy of this book yet? I hope so because I'm excited to discuss the first section. I'm still in awe over Leanne Shapton's ability to convey so much through pictures of things and a small note here and there.

Looks like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz might star together in a movie again — this time for something quite a bit lighter than Vanilla Sky. Directed by James Mangold (Girl, Interrupted, Walk the Line), the romantic comedy "revolves around a woman who has terrible luck with men but finds her path intertwined with that of a mysterious handsome man she meets on a blind date." Though neither actor is confirmed for the project, Diaz and Cruise apparently may star together in the lead roles.

This week's episode of Desperate Housewives features Beau Bridges as basically our steward in a series of flashbacks to the beginning of the series — and even before. Bridges plays the liveliest, most involved, understanding and talkative handyman that ever lived, Eli Scruggs, who touches each of the women's lives in one way or another. He helps Gaby get over herself and befriend her new suburban neighbors and he helps nudge Bree toward finally writing her cookbook.

We all know that author Nicholas Sparks wrote The Notebook, which became a movie starring the sweet duo Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Before The Notebook Sparks's novel Message in a Bottle became a movie. Later came A Walk to Remember starring Mandy Moore, and this year his book Nights in Rodanthe arrived on the big screen towing Richard Gere and Diane Lane in its wake.

On this week's Privileged, Megan's family situation gets a little more complicated when her mom swings into town for the first time in, oh, 17 years. That dredges up a whole host of other issues, including some conflict between Will and Charlie. Meanwhile, the twins are cute and flirty and provide some levity in an otherwise pretty heavy episode.

Now, I'm not talking about soundstages or anything included in the Universal Studios tour. I'm wondering if there's a movie or TV show location that so captured your attention (and affection) that you'd thrill at the idea of getting to see it for real.
I checked out this link to a list of nine "modern-day classic movie locations you can visit," like the actual office used for Office Space (see above) which isn't actually in Silicon Valley, but Austin, Texas.

So, Nicholas Sparks has given us many things, one of them being The Notebook. I have to say, I'm convinced the film version of the book did as well as it did because of the talent involved (Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams) because when I think of the books of his I've read they all fall into the same category as the movie version of A Walk to Remember: cheesy, trite and overwrought. This next book-to-film adaptation of a Sparks work, Nights in Rodanthe stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane, both of whom I like a lot as actors.
