Jay On The Go

I love to watch animation films and it took me a while to get to " Kung Fu Panda " but I am glad I did. It is an excellent movie that you can watch with your family. The plot is intriguing and the visual effects are remarkable. Obviously, there is a powerful underlying message that is important to kids as well as adults. What I got from the movie is that there really is no magical power or secret to success (I am obviously excluding being born to rich and/or powerful parents ) other than believing in yourself and doing the hard work. Po (Jack Black) is a panda who leads a mundane life as a family owned restaurant worker but making noodles is definitely not what he wants to do his whole life. What he really wants to do is to be kungfu master. By a stroke of good luck, he is selected to be the Dragon Warrior (the best in kung fu) who must fight Tai Lung (Dustin Hoffman) to protect the people of the Valley of Peace. For a food- addicted , overweight panda, the journey

Here are some simple rules for life: Never join a religion that denies you chocolate , or for that matter, simple pleasures like food , unless you eat so much that you end with a health emergency . Never support the integration of church and state. It is always a dangerous mix regardless of how politicians and church leaders may want to help each other out to screw the people . Always enjoy what you have. On your death bed, you will not regret what you did, but would surely regret all those places that you did not visit or the time that you did not spend with your family or the things that you did not try. Chocolat is a great movie for anyone who likes chocolate or enjoyed "Like Water For Chocolate." Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) show up in a tiny French village, where the main square appears to be literally just as big as my backyard (it is important to understand this because it shows how small the minds of the residents were). Via

I always enjoyed Steve Carell on The Daily Show but when I watched him for the first time in "The 40 Year Old Virgin," I was disappointed. The humor was lame and the plot was weak despite some good acting by Carell. Then I had a chance to watch "Little Miss Sunshine" and I realized that if the plot was right, Carell could be at his best. I have been a big fan of Anne Hathaway since I saw her in " The Devil Wears Prada ." In "Get Smart" movie, Carell and Hathaway are both agents (Maxwell Smart and Agent 99) for a fictitious intelligence agency. The two go on a mission together to Russia to find out how KAOS, a terrorist organization , was getting nuclear weapons. There is a lot of action-filled comedy and eventually Smart is suspected to be a double-agent. He proves that he is not a double agent by preventing the explosion of a bomb at a concert in Los Angeles attended by the president. If you are looking for spy-thriller , this is not the

Maybe it is only acting, but movie stars engage in the most intimate acts while filming. Take for example Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in Australia , a film that proved memorable for her and Keith Urban because she got pregnant during that time. So how does it feel to kiss another person while you are married . Pretty good if you believe both Hugh and Nicole. She says, "Obviously we're in character when we kiss , but it was good to go to work." Hugh says that filming love scenes with Kidman "couldn't have been better or easier...I won't tell all the nitty gritty...But [director Baz Luhrmann] treats love scenes like choreography. The camera is like a dancer . If you watch any of his movies, visually, the love scenes are like poetry." Sure!

Remember how Madonna and Britney Spears kissed in public? Then as Brit went through her problems, Madonna and Britney Spears were not friends any more. In a complete turnaround of events, Madonna and Britney Spears had a reunion and they appear to have become BFF . Now to the disappointment of many fans, they did not make out on stage, but they sure looked like great friends . So why the change? Maybe because Madonna and Guy Ritchie got a divorce? Or is that after her divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney too has cleaned up her act.

Looks like I am getting some insights into why Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced . Like millions of other people, at one time, Brad Pitt was in love with Angie while still married to Aniston . Yeah, they called themselves Brangelina . And no, we are not hearing it from the gossip mongers. Angelina herself admits to The Times that when her children grow up she would like them to watch the movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” According to her, “Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.” Apart from the interesting title, it is also important to understand that at the time of making this film, Brad was legally married to Jennifer . In other words Brad committed adultery . The irony is that Brad is now with his girl and they are parents to a busload of children but after dating Vince Vaughan and John Mayer , Jennifer Aniston is still single.

The divorce of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook was ugly . What Peter Cook did was disgusting and his excuses that communication with his wife broke down and he found comfort in the arms of a teenager is nothing more than an excuse of a middle aged man who is going through a midlife crisis . There is another lesson here. We live in a world of cell phones with digital cameras and really tiny camcorders and it might seem like a great thing to do: record every moment of your relationship. Personally, I recommend that even married couples do not do it, and if they do it with mutual consent, it is best to come to an agreement about what to do with it. For instance, pictures or videos should not be posted on the web without mutual consent and a decision has to be made at the time of divorce regarding what to do with those sex tapes and naughty photos . Peter Cook and girlfriend Diana Bianchi recorded a lot of their adventures in bed and now it is going to hurt all of them.

John Mayer is a very weird guy. He first abused Jessica Simpson when she followed him a like a pet and genuinely believed that he was in love with her . He dumped her like a used napkin. Cameron Diaz also got the wrong impression that John Mayer liked her, but thankfully, she was smart enough to realize her mistake. Then a very desperate Jennifer Aniston who has still not recovered from her divorce from Brad Pitt and that was obvious how she tried to impose herself on Vince Vaughan . I am a big supporters of cougars dating younger men but I was not very optimistic that the relationship with John Mayer will last. As expected, the relationship ended without a word of warning. Apparently no cheating is involved. "People are different, people have different chemistry," said Mayer. "I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right." I am sure that Aniston will definitely appreciate this

Maria Bello, a 41-year old cougar has bagged a 28 year old young man Bryn Mooser. And what is increasingly the case, he was not the one to pursue her. In typical cougar style , she hit on him in a restaurant where she simply walked up to him to ask if he had a girlfriend . That was the start of the relationship . Mooser is one of those struggling musicians that are so bad at what they do that they cannot make a living off it. He was working as a waiter in a restaurant where Maria went to dine. One thing that he does have as an artist is character and personality . "He has more character in his little finger than any man I've ever met," she told Page Six Magazine. So my advice to all those young men interested in dating wealthy sugars mamas looking for toy boys is to brush up on art, literature, and all the fine things that rich women are interested in and then hang out where they typically spent their time even if the pay is lousy or you hate the job.

There is no doubt that honesty is important in a relationship . A relationship that is not based on 100% honesty is the one that experiences infidelity and eventually a divorce . This is equally important when a couple realizes that both men and women are polyamorous and it is perfectly normal for people to wish that they want to make love to a person that they are not married to or are not in a monogamous relationship with. A couple that has figured this out is Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. He says in an interview that if he likes another girl , he shares his thoughts with his wife. So all those women who have a fit because their husband even look at another woman need to get a life. It is impossible not to look at attractive people . Will Smith says that he and his wife will share it with each other if they sleep with someone else . He makes another good point that it is better if a spouse finds out about it before it happens or soon after and from his/her spouse rather tha

I used to wonder why someone so cute and desirable like Salma Hayek would be single . Looks like I was not the only one. French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault was wondering the same and decided to find out. On the other hand, I simply kept wondering. Good for me. More than two years and one child later, he finds out that she is not wife material after all and decided to end the relationship . Oh these French; they are so far ahead of us and have figured out that marriage is only for losers . Maybe it was the long distance relationship or the fact that Salma is such an independent woman or that Salma was just desperate to become a mom before her biological clock ticked away. The only person I feel bad for is Valentina Paloma.

If you want to role off your chair because you are laughing so hard then this film is for review. Obviously, as I suggested while reviewing The Da Vinci Code , you should have a sense of humor and be able to distinguish fact from fiction. You should also not be offended by toilet humor or jokes that are simply not appropriate for anyone other than a fictional character called Borat. The film (the full name is Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan) is in some ways a satire of American life (it is hard to say if any of the things about Kazakhstan are true) but in many other ways just a great way to laugh on ourselves. The movie proceeds as the adventures in the United States of Borat (supposedly a journalist , but in reality those of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who in real life speaks with a perfect British accent ) who along with a colleague is exploring America and is recording the adventure for a documentary. The movie is es

Remember the old days when you dated , got engaged , and then picked a date for wedding . The wedding was a big party with friends and family members and then you took off on a honeymoon to a tropical paradise . You waited a few years of wedded bliss and then you would start a family . Things are different now. Indeed, you start off by dating but after that nothing is standard. You could have a family, live together before marriage , and then have a wedding . Or have a family and never get married as Brangelina have done. Looks as if Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are going to do the same. "We don't have any plans for that right now," Madden told People magazine. "We're just happy , and we're being a family, and that's where we're at right now. But marriage means something different to everyone." I think marriage is basically becoming an outdated concept with all the complications related to a 50% probability of divorce , child supp

Most magazine editors become very powerful but Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue , is above them all. The top designers in the world have to be on good terms with her because Vogue is literally the Bible for the fashionistas and nothing gets inside the magazine until Wintour says so. She is reportedly the inspiration for the book and the movie. And those of us have had the misfortune of dealing with mean bosses know what it feels like and how frustrating it can be to work with nasty supervisor . Miranda Priestley (a role that was literally made for Meryl Streep ) hires yet another assistant Andy Sachs (I would have never thought that Anne Hathaway was such a fine actress) not just to answer phone calls or to act as an executive assistant, but also to bring coffee for her boss and be treated worse than a maid . It is the story of a right-out-of-college graduate with all the aspirations of making it big and always doing the right thing , but then finds out that the world of bu

Warning: If you are one of those morons who have a hard time distinguishing fact from fiction, do not read this review and definitely movies are not for you -- go pull some weeds in your backyard. And if you are still reading, you are probably a smart person who has the knowledge and intelligence to enjoy fiction while continuing to use facts in your life for their useful purpose. If you know Dan Brown (I like his books to read on the beach or on a long flight ), you will know that he is a master of fiction writing. He uses real institutions (like NASA or the National Security Agency) and combines real and imaginary events to create a book that is very engaging. That is exactly what happens in The Da Vinci Code. While I am no Catholic or even Christian , I do have enormous respect for Jesus Christ and The Pope , and as even a 4-year old will tell you, there is nothing real about a movie other than moving images and background sounds. The Plot is very complicated and will give y

As if it was not ugly enough, the divorce of Christine Brinkley and Peter Cook gets even uglier. Like that Republican darling Craig Schelske , apparently Peter Cook too is obsessed with swinging and finding women on the Internet . No wonder then that Diana Bianchi was just one of his secret lovers. It is clear that Brinkley is furious with her ex-husband that she wants to publicly humiliate him and destroy his social standing. I am not sure if Craig Schelske has been hurt in any way or that the Republican Party will really shun him. Nothing may happen to Cook either and he might go on being a good swinger. In my opinion, regardless of what the father of your children did, such bitterness does no good. At the end of the day, you still want your children to have a healthy relationship with their father .

Could there have been a cuter couple than Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon ? With their lovely children, they just seemed like the great American family that we so much aspire to have. Unfortunately, Hollywood relationships are always shaky considering that stars are always tempted by yet another hotter person . That is what we all thought happened when Ryan and Reese divorced ? It was all blamed on Abbie Cornish but she denied that it was her fault. I had no reason to doubt Abbie but it seems I was so wrong. Ryan and Abbie are now officially together and it is more than clear that she was the main reason why Reese's marriage fell apart .

When Sara Evans and Craig Schelske divorced , I had no idea if she would find love again . The divorce was painful , but it turns out that Sara healed fast and is now engaged to football player Jay Barker. It appears that she met him when she appeared as a guest on his radio show The Opening Drive on WJOX. Together they will have seven children among them and hopefully Barker is not as creepy as Schelske or Dan Roach .

When we think of Hollywood relationships , the first reaction is to think of casual hookups , instant weddings , and quick divorces . But it is important to remember that many couples have normal marriages and are no different from a regular couple. Indeed, when you are in the public eye, every move of yours is being watched closely, and hot men and women are always approaching you, it is much harder to not cheat . Watch this video to find out the secrets of relationships in Hollywood.

As I have said before, a wedding is yet another way for Pamela Anderson to entertain herself. How else can you explain the fact that she married Rick Salomon during a 90-minute break between her performances in Las Vegas ? Now the way Renee Zellweger asked for an annulment of her wedding to Kenny Chesney , Pam too is seeking the same rather than a divorce . The reason? Same as given by Renee. Fraud. What kind of fraud? It is just a legal term to say that the deal did not turn out to be what someone expected.
