Vanessa Hudgens Gives Out Relationship Advice
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television,
Don’t you just love it when 19-year-olds claim to know what makes a relationship work?
Now that her scandal has officially become so last year, teen actress Vanessa Hudgens has started to feel a bit more comfortable talking about herself and her boyfriend, Zac Efron.
In the upcoming issue of CosmoGIRL!, the High School Musical actress tells her female fans that romances shouldn’t be a struggle. “If you really love someone, you shouldn’t have to work at it.” (In other words: trying to figure out how to hold a camera while posing nude might not be necessary.) “You finish each others’ sentences and have the same sense of humor.”

Reality News: ‘Moment of Truth’, ‘Apprentice’, ‘Bachelorette’, ‘Supernanny’

Now that The Moment of Truth has successfully breezed through its two-week trial run, the show is being rewarded with a nice bonus. FOX - apparently believing the reality show’s gimmick won’t tire quickly - has added on another 13 episodes to its initial 12-pack order. (I’m guessing it was the program’s stellar debut that instilled the network with such confidence.)
Although a list of potential seatwarmers dwindled after the show’s first two airings (seems the attention seekers weren’t too thrilled about what they had seen), other ballsy contestants will be stepping up. Production on the additional segments will begin on Feb. 11th.
Just when you think the Trumpster is down and out, he just keeps coming back for more.
Even though his ‘recruitment’ show once faced cancellation, it’s had a reversal of fortune and now been granted an extension. Impressive numbers for Celebrity Apprentice has made NBC think twice about letting Donald Trump and the reality staple go too soon. (No rush decisions should ever be made during a writers’ strike.) Come this time next year, we will be seeing a second round of stars vie for credibility and airtime.
Seriously, a boardroom full of D-listers is really the only thing that keeps viewers attracted to the show these days. It’s not like anyone really believes The Apprentice winners do anything for Trump’s organization anymore.

‘Cloverfield’ Warning: Take Your Motion Sickness Pills
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Drama, Horror, Thrillers, Filmmaking,
Tonight, I was really looking forward for my chance to see Cloverfield. Not only was I intrigued by the trailers, I was relieved to watch a movie that was only 1.5 hours long. A short run time basically guaranteed the action would start quickly. Unfortunately, the J.J. Abrams production ended up feeling like the longest 85 minutes of my life. (And that wasn’t because it was necessarily a bad film.) It was also the most nauseating experience I had had in quite some time. (And that wasn’t because it was a particularly gory film. In fact, it was fairly tame.) Cloverfield just happened to be the shakiest piece of film I can recall having to endure. Period.
Had this been any other movie, I might have walked out on it. The problem was that I wanted to sit through the whole thing. (I needed to see that bad-ass monster for myself.) If that meant averting my gaze through a third of the film, I figured that would still be better than completely leaving halfway through it. I refused to wimp out.
But if any of you out there have a problem with motion sickness, heed my advice: Take Your Dramamine! Envision the shaky home video your friend took at your wedding. Then imagine them running with the camera. Then extend that same piece of film (with no pauses) to movie-length. I like to think that I can stomach a lot, but this was The Blair Witch Project x 10. (Though when compared to the sickening feeling I felt on a casino boat once, this was about half as bad.)

My Advice for Waitress’ Keri Russell
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News,
Ms. Russell:
I just recently watched the DVD of release of Waitress - you know, the movie you’ve been receiving all the acclaim and Oscar buzz for. Let me first start off by saying that I thought you did an amazing job. I was really happy to see you solidify your comeback since your heydey on Felicity. (I’ll even forget that your critically panned August Rush exists.)
So now that I’ve gotten the compliments out of the way, I must now move on to the purpose of my note. I read a very disturbing piece of news the other day and I’m hoping you will dispute the rumors.
Please tell me it’s not true. Please tell me you will not be starring in a comedy with Adam Sandler.
Granted, Adam Shankman (Hairspray) is slated to helm Bedtime Stories. I understand the appeal. But I’m begging you—don’t make an about face and go backwards with your career.
If this film were on the dramatic end of the Sandler spectrum (like Reign Over Me, Spanglish or Punch-Drunk Love), you might have my support. But playing the romantic interest in any Sandler comedy hasn’t really helped anyone. Don’t align yourself with the Jessical Biels of the world. You’re better than that. And how about Kate Beckinsale? How did Click benefit her? And does anyone remember Winona Ryder’s role in Mr. Deeds?
You’ve already proven your comedic chops with your stint on Scrubs. Now it’s time to take advantage of the awards season hoopla. Don’t tempt fate now by coming anywhere near a possible Rob Schneider appearance. Please.

Meal Time: Clean Up
Posted by Jenni Burns Categories: Features, Trends, How To,
I have four children, four and under. Yes I typed that right, and no, I’m not crazy. Okay, maybe a little - but not completely. The six of us live in a 750 square foot house, two bedrooms, one bathroom. You are probably wondering by now what all of that has to do with food. Actually, quite a bit! With so many little mouths to feed, several times a day, together we create a lot of dishes. I think I ask my husband at least once a week, “Who made all this mess? And who’s going to clean it up?!?” Me. I am the human dish washer. Not that my husband doesn’t help, he does, but he can only do so much.
