The last time I was working on my laptop at Hollywood Cafe, I got distracted by a movie they were showing, Raising Helen with Kate Hudson. Since I only saw bits and pieces of it but enjoyed what I did see, I asked Tim if he’d watch it with me, and he said yes, but only if I’d watch Little Black Book with him.

I loved “Little Black Book!” I expected it to be a typical romantic comedy, but it turned out to provoke some thought with smart writing. Brittany Murphy was not only really good, but two of my favorite actresses gave their usual fantastic performances–Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates. Add lots of music from Carly Simon–what’s not to love?

Goodbye, Queer As Folk. Especially, goodbye Brian Kinney. You weren’t always the nicest or easiest character to love, but you never let me down in five years with your unflinching honesty, refusal to compromise, and determination to live on your own terms.

Kudos to Gale Harold for bringing Brian to life. I wish the actor great success.

And thank you to the entire cast for making me laugh and cry and think and want to write even more than I already did.

I don’t really think you stole the name “Ben Bruckner” from us, but remember, TJB’s Ken Bruckner came FIRST. =)

I haven’t checked the trailer yet to see if it’s working, but the RENT movie is planned for a November release.

Based on this article, maybe it’s time for a few celebrities to join Brooke Shields in a Just Say No to Scientology campaign. If some celebrities think it’s okay to poke around in other people’s medical decisions, wouldn’t it be only fair if the offenders’ religious beliefs were treated with equally intrusive disrespect?

It’s the seventies all over again, with an updated version of “Battle of the Network Stars.” I’m grabbing a Tab and some Pop Rocks and sitting back to watch.

Thanks to BBP for leading me to an amusing article on the internet about one of the new gay cable stations.
