Quick! What are the movies/TV shows/albums/books/video games/websites that are rocking your world right now? Well, okay, not right now right now, but you know what I mean. The entertainment options you’ve been enjoying this week. Yeah, I know, I should’ve just said that in the first place.
Sigh.
Anyway. If you’d be so kind, please list your favorites (up to three) in the comments section below — and be sure to include your email address (to contact you if your submission is chosen for inclusion in the next issue of EW). This week’s deadline is 10 AM, Thursday, October 25. So do your best Mariah Carey impersonation, and make it happen! Oh yeah, it’s like that, y’all.
1) Dumbledore – only 3 months later and I have to read it AGAIN?!
2) Marc on Ugly Betty – because who hasn’t rolled on the floor this week shouting “We’re doomed! Dooomed!”
3) Keira Nightly’s Chanel ad – there’s a lot of Audrey Hepburn wannabe things out there, but this one comes damn close.
Kristen Bell’s triumphant return to TV. Yes, I know she’s only been gone a summer and yes, I know she can be heard narrating “Gossip Girl” every Wednesday night, but for all of us still depressed that we’re not getting our weekly “Veronica Mars” fix, her stint on “Heroes” might just ease the pain a little. Besides, its way better than that crappy vampire gig Logan got stuck with.
1. REAPER!
2. Bruce Springsteen, “Magic”
3. 30 Rock
Dancing with the Stars. Samantha Harris’ marble-mouthed mumblings aside (“We’ll see you next week,” she uttered last night, 24 hours before we would see her again.), this show is a modern-day variety show at its best. I love the glittery potpourri of dancing, singing and comedy, all nicely contained and managed by the under-rated Tom Bergeron. The anticipation of watching this show actually helps me get through each Monday.
1) justin.tv very addicting!
2) the flaming lips dvd U.F.O.s at the Zoo
3) Cake B-sides and Rarities the War Pigs cover song is great (as is the live version at the end), frank sinatra cover, barry white, etc.
I just finished the fourth Song of Ice and Fire book by George RR Martin and am eagerly, crazily, obsessively awaiting the next book in the series. I’m not usually big fantasy reader but this one series was fabulous.
1. http://www.jezebel.com Because it’s a cool, slightly dirty, womencentric, entertainment, fashion, gossip, politics website.
2. Women’s Murder Club –> A nice twist on the basic procedural, and I’m curious to see where they are going to take the open serial killer case plot
3. The Next Iron Chef
3.
1. AOL’s Free Full CD Listening Party ( I got to listen to ultimate guilty pleasure Bo Bice’s CD without buying it! Sweetness!)
2.Friday Night Lights. Everyone is grumpy about Landry and Tyra because the show is soooo good people forget it isn’t real.
3. The Scary “Mary Poppins” re-cut trailer. So funny and perfect for Halloween! You’ll never look at Julie Andrews the same again!
