Does anyone wonder why Maria fell in love in East LA.. but grew up in Spanish Harlem.. and is living da life just like a movie star… I mean, if she was so freggin poor – how did she get from Spanish Harlem to East Los Angeles?

I am not who you think I am… but that isn’t a bad thing.. is it? Some thoughts on the topic… forgive the emo-ish-ness!

This little movie was a guilty pleasure. I am a Queen Latifah fan – there is just something very real and solid about the way she plays all her characters. She has a level of confidence that trancends the screen. Of course Diane Keaton is always a riot. I love her classic head shaking, hand flailing, squealing hysterics. Alway funny. A surprise to me, was Katie Holmes, playing a totally whacked out, but likable bimbo. You cannot help but like her in this film – she is just too cute. Great job on her part and I am personally glad to see her out of the house – Tom is freaky!

I am not your woman…

1. Indra Nooyi

CEO, PepsiCo (PEP)
2005 rank: 11
Age: 50
Pepsi’s brand-new chief (as of Oct. 1) is a powerful force behind the consumer giant’s strong profit pipeline and $108 billion stock market valuation. Formerly CFO and president, the Indian-born strategist reached the top even though she never ran a line operation at Pepsi. Nooyi believes in constant reinvention: “The minute you’ve developed a new business model, it’s extinct, because somebody is going to copy it.”

So one of my fave movies right now is Marie-Antoinette – I have been listening to the Sound Track Non-Stop! J’adore the “I Love Candy” sequence, because every now and then, i just want clothes, shoes, Jewlery and tons of fatty little cakes and champagne… without those days we will shrivel up and die… or at least i do…

Rotten Tomatoes users were correct, this film has a great deal of posturing, rants, soap boxing and tirades. Whichever side of the political issue you are on, you will most likely find a reason to argue after watching this film. Tom Cruise was not convincing in his role, in fact, it was a bit laughable. Redford was good, but of course, and Meryl as always was realistic although her characters realizations were a bit over the top. I think it is a good way to open discussion if you are looking to debate someone on the issues.

The Nanny Diaries is a cute little movie. Funny, Sad, Sweet. Nothing to write home about, but perhaps Scarlet was sick of working with Woody and needed a break.

Just got back from the Beyonce Concert – that chick can SING and DANCE… the cutest part was when she decended the stairs during the number that ended her on her face during the florida show and gave the audience this big grin – that said – whoo, i made it! – and the audience broke out in cheers… see all the videos at:
