I was thinking about seeing The Romantics over the weekend, but when I was reading reviews – I was hard pressed to find ANY that were good! In fact every single one of them was a bad review!
I was really hoping that this movie would be good. Katie Holmes could really use a good movie. It’s her first major movie since 2008′s Mad Money – which was a colossal flop.
Here are some of the reviews that have hit the web today. All one can say is…ouch.
“It ends where you want it to begin.” - Time Out New York
“Landing somewhere between a generational comedy and soap opera, the film is forgettable fun.” - The Hollywood Reporter
“It is uncertain, though, how this material is served by disheveled cinematography, shooting handheld on the Hi 8 camcorder I had in high school, apparently editing on two VCRs, and flooding the mix with Forever 21 dressing-room music.” - Village Voice
“Clumsy camera work adds to the pre-wedding jitters in writer-director Galt Niederhoffer’s pashmina-thin drama about attractive self-congratulatory Yale alumni gathering for the nuptials of two of their own.” - Entertainment Weekly
“The mannerisms and phrasings that Holmes mimics – call it strenuous naturalism – are so recognizably Cruise that instead of establishing Laura’s inner conflict she lets the strange life of Katie Holmes (Scientologist starlet, Suri momma, and Cruise-candy) slip onto the screen.” - Moviline
“Despite the skilled cast, the characters come off as self-centered and obnoxious (Elijah Wood‘s Chip is drunk the entire film). A cop-out ending doesn’t help, either.” - US Weekly
Willow Smith is following in her famous father’s footsteps. Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s nine-year-old daughter Willow has just signed with Jay-Z’s label, ROC Nation.
Willow stopped by Ryan Seacrest’s KISS FM radio show this morning to talk about her new single, Whip My Hair, which has become an internet sensation in only a couple days.
It’s a catchy song – and I’m sure Willow is going to be very successful, like the rest of her family.
Watch the hilarious video below. She is just too stinkin cute!!
According to Star Magazine, she did! I have to admit that she does look fuller in the bust, but I wouldn’t say that’s proof she’s gone under the knife.
“It does look like she had a breast augmentation; they look significantly larger now,” observes Beverly Hills plastic surgeon
Dr. Stuart A. Linder, who does not treat the actress. “She was probably a 34A or small B, and now she looks more like a nice, full C cup,” Dr.Linder tells Star. “Her breasts have more projection, and she certainly fills in her bathing suit much, much better.”
The Eat Pray Love star has been vocal about growing old gracefully “Your face tells a story, and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office”.
Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine has vowed to never launch a “nerdy” solo career because he’s too dedicated to his band mates.
Even though Levine has worked with other artists on the side, he’s insisted he’ll never drop his band and try a solo career.
He tells People magazine, “Never. I don’t want to be a solo artist – it’s nerdy. Being in a band is so cool. I’m going to do my own things, but my anchor is Maroon 5.”
Nerdy? Really? Can we say Justin Timberlake? Dropping N’Sync was the best thing he ever did! How about Beyonce and Destiny’s Child!? Nothing nerdy there!
In case Maroon 5 is your cup of tea (personally, I can’t stand them…his voice drives me NUTS) here’s their latest video which was premiered today! Here is Give a Little More!
Jessica Simpson will appear on the season finale of Project Runway as the guest judge! Here she is leaving the Project Runway show this afternoon in NYC!
In a shimmering gray mini-dress, Simpson joined judges Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Heidi Klum on the catwalk, then got down to business, evaluating the looks of the show’s finalists. But since only six Runway episodes have aired so far on Lifetime, all 10 of the remaining designers presented collections so that the results of the finale will not be revealed.
Mondo‘s collection was full of pink and polka dots, while Gretchen went with more muted tones.Valerie‘s playful dresses and vests were right out of a Katy Perry video, and her pal Ivy presented a beach-inspired collection. Andy, April, Casanova, Christopher, Michael C. and Michael D. shared their lines, as well.
