A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog about the movie Almost Famous ( http://charleewith2es.blogspot.com/2009/11/its-saturday-night-and-im-almost-famous.html ) and in the blog I briefly told you about my almost run in with Leonardo DiCaprio but instead of elaborating on the story I told you it was for another time…well today is that other time. Here it goes. I was on a 10 day high school trip traveling through Europe. It was the cliffs notes version of a European sightseeing trip. We would wake up at 5:30 am, walk until our feet were covered in blisters, saw every major sight you can imagine, went to bed at midnight and did it all over again the next day. We had a blast to say the least. The second night that we were in Paris, another girl on the trip came into mine and my best friends’ hotel room to tell us that Leonardo DiCaprio was at the Ritz doing some promotional stuff for The Man in the Iron Mask. This was the film that came out after Titanic, so as you can imagine Leonardo was t...

I do this all the time. I hear a new song, decide whether or not I like it and if I do, I listen to it over and over again pretty much until I get sick of it. This is no different. Last night I was on the sofa finishing up my book when Will turned the stereo on. The song that played was really catchy and fun...the kind that instantly puts you in a good mood. You know the times when you hear a song and you immediately get a smile on your face because it just makes you feel great about life? This is one of those songs. It’s called The Valley Town by Elliott Brood. I can totally picture this song at the end of a movie, closing scene, where the guy gets the girl or figures out the big conundrum in his life and as he's driving off into the sunset in a sweet vintage car this song starts playing. Ya, that sounds about right. A good friend of ours sent the youtube link to Will saying that he might like it and that he just spent the evening at a bar with these guys while visiting North Caro...

I have been trying to keep myself from writing this blog. The reason is because I haven’t finished the book yet but I can’t help it. I know, patience is something I need to work on. This book is too good not to tell everyone about it and I feel like I can’t wait to purge it on you. It’s probably better that I haven’t finished it because I won’t be able to give too much away. Must practice self control. I started reading Dear John the other day and instantly fell in love with the two main characters. The story is written by Nicholas Sparks, the same guy that brought us the Notebook. I need to make a side note here. This is a dude author writing these horribly romantic love stories, like amazing love stories – do guys really think like this but they are too man to show it? Show us the romance boys. I guarantee you it will be worth it. Anyway, back to the book. You read the story from John’s perspective…a rough around the edges US soldier on leave for 2 weeks visiting his dad (who raised ...

Levi Johnston Peek a booed his “package deal” last week in Playgirl magazine, which now is an online only publication. Here are some of the pictures http://www.popcrunch.com/levi-johnston-playgirl-pictures/ you can click on the playgirl link for all of them but I’m warming…Not Work Appropriate. I’m sure you’ve heard his name over water cooler talk. In case you didn’t here’s a recap. Levi dated Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, knocked her up, the world found out during the 2008 presidential election campaign, Sarah lost, Tripp was born, Levi and Bristol broke up and everyone became media hungry. Levi must realize that he only has 15 minutes of fame and he needs to run this well dry. So what if he posses nude for an online magazine? As long as he doesn’t start running the celebrity reality show circuit, we’ll all forget about him and he can go back to being whatever he was before. Nobody is going to remember him and as long as he sticks to the short term plan he’ll be laughing his way to...

I have been stewing over this for a few days now…not judging…just making observations and trying to figure it all out and I’ve come to this conclusion. Ashley Greene hooks up with a lot of people and she doesn’t seem to care. In fact, I think she wants the world to see. She wants the reassurance that she’s hot and that other hot people want to be with her. If you don’t know who I’m talking about then next time you are walking by a magazine stand take a look at this month’s Maxim cover…she’s on the front…and posing hard. She’s hungry and she wants the fame bad. But it’s coming off as desperate in all areas. We already have a Megan Fox in this world and she’s doing great on her own. Back in April, Ashley was photographed with Ian Somerhalder..don’t know who he is? He played Boon on Lost and he now plays Damon on the Vampire Diaries. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/04/15/ashley-greene-ian-somerhalder-couple/ What’s the connection here? Hmmm, let’s see. We both play vampires so let’s ho...

Have you ever had Boursin cheese? This cheese is so amazing that the first time I had it my boobs got bigger..well not really…at least in my mind they did. That’s how amazing this cheese is. It makes you believe that the impossible is possible. Ever since I first tried this cheese I have made it my mission in life to share it with the world. I bring it to dinner parties, wedding & baby showers, birthday parties and I force feed people into trying it while I stand next to them saying “isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it the best cheese you’ve ever had? It’s changing your life right now isn’t it? Quick, check your boobs, are they getting bigger?” It’s a soft cheese, you’ll need a cheese knife. I prefer the herb & garlic flavor spread on a cracked peppercorn cracker...delicious...my mouth is salivating right now. And today must be a really good day because I just received an email that will change my mashed potato experience FOREVER. Boursin Mashed Potatoes – Ahhhhh, I hear angels rejoicin...

The People (as in People magazine) have spoken and they have announced their new King (as in sexiest man alive for 2009) and the winner is…..Johnny Depp. Hugh Jackman sat in the throne over the past year and I think we can all agree that he was a good King. Remember that scene in Wolverine? Yes, you know the one I’m talking about…see he was a good King wasn’t he and now he is passing the crown to Johnny Depp, the well deserved recipient. Johnny Depp is badass. He’s so badass that he can have a scarf coming out of his back pocket and look cool. So cool that instead of mocking his fashion sense, the world bows down to his awesomeness. Depp just secured his paycheck for the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie at just over $30 million. Yes, you read that correctly, $30 million. But he shares well. It has been recently reported that Depp is helping out his friend Nicolas Cage with his financial issues; He uses his riches to help the poor. This makes him a generous King. It’s a good thing ...
