Universal Pictures recently signed a deal with game manufacturer Hasbro "to produce at least four feature films based on branded properties." These properties include Clue, Monopoly, Candyland, Ouija, Battleship, Magic: The Gathering and Stretch Armstrong. Of course, Clue has already been made into a movie, so who knows what they'll try to do with that one? Monopoly is already in production as Read more
Children of Men is getting rave reviews from critics, but it's not getting much love from its studio, Universal, which initially released the movie in just 16 theaters on Christmas Day. Now, one devoted fan has made a video promoting the movie, interspersing footage of the film with quotes from critics set to a soundtrack from Jarvis Cocker. I'm already dying to see this movie, but the video Read more

I was lucky enough to take a class taught by Manhattan-based yoga teacher Kristin McGee right here in San Francisco! Although one busy lady, Kristin traveled across the country to teach Vinyasa Vibes (a new offering at The Sports Club/LA), a flow-based, powerful yoga sequence enhanced by music. The most musical part of the practice? During Savasana, the class culminated in a live sax solo by Read more
A look at Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Stroup, and Kristen Stewart's looks inspired one thought: these girls look seriously cool. The common denominator in each of their ensembles is a sweet, vintage-feeling t-shirt that takes jeans and shorts to an infinitely more awesome place. Sure, a white cotton tee or your favorite tank could top your separates just as easily, but a t-shirt that pays homage to Read more
Lauren Conrad and her new boyfriend William Tell went public over the weekend! The couple got lunch together on Saturday not far from her home in the LA neighborhood of Brentwood. LC and William were first linked a month ago after seeing each other for a low-key few months. William, a law student at the University of Southern California, reportedly met Lauren through mutual friends. Things seem Read more
