I Love You Phillip Morris




I Love You Phillip Morris has grossed over $18 million worldwide.

Based on the preview alone, I'd say the movie looks like fun. There's no doubt this will be big hit for Jim Carrey.

The movie is of special interest to me because it's been around for such a long time. A trailer of Phillip Morris was posted online back in 2008.  The release date here in the States is December, 2010. Why has the studio been holding back on the US audience? Are we not prepared to handle a major motion picture featuring a gay Jim Carrey?

Sure, there will be some people that refuse to watch this comedy for their own retarded homophobic reasons, but I don't think the general US population is going to be up in arms about this comedy.Or, is this merely an invitation to all Americans to go ahead and pirate the film?



What I don't understand is that this movie is from 2009.

Jeggings! ??


Jeggings =  Jeans + Leggings? 

When did this happen? How is this any more acceptable than jorts? Anyone have a pair of these? Am I the last person in America to be aware of the jeggings?


Jeggings even have a Wikipedia entry.

Jeggings are leggings which are styled to look like tight denim jeans.[1] Steven "Denim" Daigle, fashion critic, stated that while jeggings are acceptable careerwear, the blending of the word 'jeans' with the word 'leggings' is, "...just the solution for our current economic situation."
The 'j' not only refers to the appearance of denim, but also to the fact that they were first worn for jogging in early 2009. Apart from the 'jean' adaptation, some jeggings are made with a new type of nylon named nylon PV1.

Acceptable for "careerwear"? This fashion meshes with exactly what type of career? 



Of the three pictured above, I have to cast my vote for #2. Thumbs down on the blazer + jeggings and the ugly sweater + jeggings.

Of course, these are available in acid washed too. 


What kind of woman is wearing these? Apparently, just about any type. At first, I thought these would be for slimmer bodies, but that's never stopped the larger women from wearing leggings in the past. In fact, due to the fact that these would be stretchy and comfortable, AND, like jeans, easy to pair with various tops and shoes, jeggings should continue to rise in popularity regardless of one's size. These are not like jorts. These are here to stay.
Kate Moss, Fergie, and Hallie all have been seen sporting the jeggings.

For years, women have squeezed themselves into actual jeans looking for that "painted on" appearance. For those women used to laying flat on the bed and tugging on the zipper and wriggling about, this must be a godsend. Thoughts anyone?

Inez Sainz

Inez Sainz received unwanted attention from the New York Jets football team?
I can't possibly imagine why. 
Footballs unexpectedly landed near her. Players made inappropriate comments.


There's no telling exactly what happened. I find it difficult to feel sorry for her if she claims to have received unwanted attention. It would appear to me that she's trying to attract attention, to be the center of attention. 
Perhaps the football players, walking around naked in the locker room said some things better left unsaid, but I'm not exactly sure what type of behavior any rational person would expect other than what happened.



While we would all like the members of our society to behave like gentlemen while at work, I think most of what is expected from football players is more like animal behavior, not like choir boys.

She was allegedly there to interview Mark Sanchez, QB for the Jets. Perhaps she could have arranged a private interview rather than attend a practice.

I'm going to side with the idea that Inez is a bit of an attention whore, not perhaps not so much the serious journalist. If she's not an attention whore, I just like to point out that she is wearing the uniform of one.

Also, keep in the mind the men in the locker room might  have been a little uncomfortable with her around.
So far, I have seen no mention of that. Are male reporters permitted to hang around females in various stages of undress at their sporting events. Can I get a press pass to go into the locker room for a WNBA game?
