As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Britney and family arrived in their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana yesterday afternoon - meeting up with mother Lynne and Jamie Lynn - as the Spears gang prepares for the baby’s arrival.

Lindsay Lohan’s Labor Pains

Well on her way to an acting career revival, Lindsay Lohan was spotted taking a cigarette break on the set of her new movie “Labor Pains,” in which she plays a secretary who fakes a pregnancy in order to keep her job.

And LiLo looked to be on top of her game, rocking a blue top and black skirt teamed with a pair of fuzzy pink sandals and her usual black Ray Ban sunglasses
From all accounts, the “Mean Girls” actress has shed her ‘difficult to work with’ reputation. Producer Lati Grobman told press, “We were a little bit reluctant to work with her. But she’s been amazing.”

And it sounds like she is well on her way to a booming (again) film career. “She’s so natural at what she does. I’ve never seen one take where she’s off. The difference between her and the other girls that are naughty in the business is that she’s actually talented. It’s not [like] Paris Hilton and the rest of them. We took the chance. It’s good that we did. So far, so good.”

In related news, Lindsay has officially taken her name out of the running for an Emmy for her guest spot on one episode Ugly Betty, given the fact that she’ll have a lot more exposure next season when she’s on five episodes. Her rep said, “The appearance was brief. We made a decision to wait.”

After seeing the music video for the first time, the schoolchildren wanted to watch it every day, teacher Kathy Amati told a local paper, adding that the kids eventually learned the lyrics and the dance moves from the video.

And the response from Lopez came on the day of her visit, as one of her reps called inquiring as to the time of the graduation ceremony because the “El Cantante” star wished to attend.

After wrapping things up at the local school, Lopez headed home - as she soon rushed off with hubby Marc Anthony and their two little angels to catch a plane headed for Belgium, where they landed earlier today.

The Happening ~ review

I went to watch The Happening last weekend. Here's what I think about the movie (beware: spoilers ahead!).

I like the concept and the story. The idea is truly original and kinda creepy. The plants are releasing some kind of chemical to mess up our brains and this lead to humans becoming delusional and suicidal (!). It looks like the plants are angry with us humans for destroying Earth. Well, if I were the plant, I would be angry too.

Mark Wahlberg played a kind-and-loving science teacher, Elliot Moore, while Zooey Deschanel played his wife, Alma. I was kinda surprise to see Mark in that type of character. He usually play the tough guy, but here, he's very gentle and lovable, and I like it a lot!

The characters development in this movie are not strong but you can still see their different personalities. Elliot is sweet, clever, resilient and kinda naive. While Alma is kinda rebellious (in not-so-obvious kinda way) and still trying to adapt to her marriage, but she still a caring person.

The couple, together with Elliot's best friend, Julian (John Leguizamo), and his daughter, Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez), evacuate their small town in order to survive this horror. They face a lot of obstacles and dangerous situations. With Elliot quick thinking and knowledge in science, they manage to survive (well, at least for Elliot, Alma and Jess).

I love this movie a lot. It's like a wake-up call for us human to stop polluting the Earth. I also like the acting, especially by the 3 main actors (Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, and Ashlyn Sanchez) although I wish their characteristics could be developed more. Oh, and not forgetting the soundtrack composed by James Newton Howard. LOVE IT!!!

So, I recommend you guys to watch this movie. But don't expect to see a horror movie, because it's not. Besides, you'll be disappointed if you think that way. It's just a drama with a great story. Bear that in mind while you entering the cinema hall and you might enjoy this movie a whole lot more.

PS: Thanx Yahoo! for the pics!

From Madagascar to Africa

So, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa will be in cinemas end of this year. I don't know what to expect. I didn't watch the trailer but my sisters did and they said it was funny. I guess it should be good.

The ones that made me laugh really hard in this movie are the psychotic penguins. They are really fun to watch at. I'm glad they're back for this movie.

Anyway, if you watch Kung Fu Panda, you'll be able to watch the trailer for this movie. The same cast return to lend their voice for this movie such as Ben Stiller (Alex the lion), Chris Rock (Marty the zebra), Jada Pinkett-Smith (Gloria the hyppo) and David Schwimmer (Melman the giraffe).
