Seeing The Holiday was like taking a bite of chocolate and discovering a delicious peanut butter center or like opening a birthday card and having a $50 check fall out. I went in expecting something good and got something fabulous instead.
You might want to think again before buying an expensive diamond ring or jeweled necklace -- At least, that seems to be the overall message in Blood Diamond.
Many year-end lists of entertainment scandals have Mel Gibson near the top. The scandal is in reference to an anti-Semitic tirade that police said Gibson went on after he was pulled over for driving under the influence in California this past July.
I honestly thought Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" was the kind of unstoppable monster seen once a generation. A song that ridiculous should never have left Ms. Stefani's head, let alone hit No. 1. "We fell for it once, but never again," I said. Then came Fergie's carbon-copy "London Bridge." "But," I foolishly thought, "at least we're safe from anything worse, right?"
