McDreamy doesn\'t shave for weddings

A while back I brought you news of Made of Honor, a rom-com that joins a proud tradition of bad made/maid titles, and whose plot is virtually identical to My Best Friend’s Wedding

Anyway, thanks to a new contest, YOU can get married at the premiere – it’d be like a McDream come true!

[To enter] go to the website and submit a photo of you and your beloved, along with the story of the moment you realized you were meant to be together [From the first second I saw her I just knew she was the stackedest Ukranian on the whole dang internet]

[From the entries will be chosen] 20 semi-finalists, who will submit videos of themselves answering the same question…The contest will be featured on Entertainment Tonight.  The top four will move on to the coveted final round, where your video and story will be judged and voted on by the public to determine which lucky couple gets the grand prize… A trip for four to the premiere city [Fingers crossed for Wilmington!]. …The bride’s gown (provided by Selia Yang), the groom’s tux, a bridal bouquet (provided by Fleurop), his-and-hers wedding bands (provided by Damiani), and a $3000 gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond. [Cinematical]

Bed, Bath and Beyond is the 9th circle of hell.  You go in looking for a bath mat and spend the next three hours feeling like a failure because your ceiling fan cord doesn’t match your duvet cover (sweet lord, doesn’t anything go with mauve?).  But I guess it’s either or that or forever hold your piece.  Get it?? Oh my God, feel the PUNishment!  *sigh*

GROUP ’27 DRESSES’ OUTING IS TERRIFYING

01.24.08 Written by Vince Mancini

A group of women in Orlando organized an outing to a screening of 27 Dresses in which they all wore their bridesmaid’s dresses.  "It beats sitting on our fat asses eating chocolate and crying all night," said group organizer Sheila McLonely.  Just kidding, I made that up.

Amy Edge Dinsmore, one of the outing’s instigators, explains: "The bride always says you can wear your bridesmaid’s dress again. You really can’t — unless you make up an event. "When we heard about this movie, we thought it would be perfect."

Man, and I used to think pregnant chicks were scary.  Hey Hollywood, how’s that movie about blowing random strangers coming along?

Jessica Anderson is chic in a borrowed black-and-white dress. "I’m due in 13 days," she says. "I got this from a girlfriend who was pregnant when she was a bridesmaid."  Karime Franklin was not so lucky. "The diet didn’t work," she says. [Editor's Note - insert sad trombone sound] But no problem: She simply donned a tank top under her strapless dress and left the zipper half unzipped.

Oh God, what a sad lonely taco fest. Uh, I mean… Girl Power?  Cheek-to-cheek hug!

More like Sarah Jessica PORKER. Zing!

In case you were worried Sarah Jessica Parker* would stray from her roots and start doing movies about cage fighting or giant robots, fear not, because after Sex and the City, she’s starring in… another chick flick.

Late Bloomer’s Revolution, adapted from Amy Cohen’s memoir of the same name, will be produced by HBO Films, star Parker, and be directed by Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.  Dear God, Sarah Jessica Parker… HBO Films… Hypenated names… THE GILMORE GIRLS!!  (gasp) My coffee just turned into chamomile tea! WITH SOY MILK!! AARRGGGHHH!!!

Sherman-Palladino will adapt the novel, about a single woman who, after the death of her mother, develops a bond with her father as they both try to get on with their lives in the dating world.

Run for your lives!  The survival of the species depends on it!  [movieweb]

*who was recently named Maxim’s Unsexiest Woman Alive. Maxim, still classier than ranch dressing.

It appears that Ben Affleck will be cast in He's Just Not that Into You, starring alongside Drew Barrymore (barf X-o), Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson and Justin Long. The film will be directed by Ken Kwapis, who recently helmed License to Wed (double barf X-o  X-o).  

Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein ("Never Been Kissed") adapted the bestseller about modern-day relationships by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, who worked together on "Sex and the City." The book focuses on how men and women often misconstrue the intentions of the opposite sex. 

Wow, sounds both fascinating and hetero.  In related news, Enrique Iglesias will be starring in an adult feature called He's Just Not That Inside of You
