Average Joette Gets a Smokin’ Man: Newsworthy?

The Frisky filled us in on a new film in the making, Bridesmaids castmates Melissa McCarthy and Jon Hamm are scheduled to star in a new comedy about “unconventional lovers.” While I have no doubt the movie will be great with both of these stars, it hit me that a hot guy going for an average gal is considered uncharted territory, in Hollywood and maybe even in real life.

Why is this?

Our friends at The Frisky pointed out that on the silver screen we can always see two super hot celebrities with rockin’ bods get together, and we see total foxes falling for not so hot men, but never really hot men falling for average ladies (minus Bridget Jones’s Diary, but  Renee is such a babe in real life)

Thinking about friends and acquaintances, I’m not so sure I’ve ever seen a drop dead gorgeous guy with an ok-looking girl. Like ever. It’s always “even” or the other way around.  I hate to spend so much time discussing appearances, but it’s crazy to me that this sort of a script is considered unconventional. I can’t come up with a  good reason why we don’t consistently seen this type of relationship blossom on screen or in life.

My Ideal Star-Studded Golden Globes Table

The list of Golden Globe Nominees was announced today, and though there were no major surprises, I love pretty much anyone who’s got a shot at winning an award. And that, friends, is an exciting prospect for my 2011 TV schedule. So while I was making a mental food-shopping list for award night (Tostitos, Diet Coke, twizzlers…hey, January 16th isn’t that far off!), I really got to thinking, “How amazing would it be if I could actually go to the Golden Globes?” And because that just wasn’t enough, I thought, “What if I could go and pick who sat at my table!?”

Granted I would never pull out the chips and salsa in front of my A-List buddies, but I think a night of forgoing junk food would be well worth it if I got to watch the awards next to these fabulous people…

Ryan Gosling, nominated for Blue Valentine
Could I have made a more obvious selection? Well, probably…keep reading my list. But come on! Not only did be become the dreamy lead male for our generation in The Notebook, but bro has also rocked a number of darker roles, too. Blue Valentine is the perfect storm of sexy and slightly disturbing, and I definitely want to ask dear Ryan about the controversial sex scene he did with Michelle Williams. I mean, maybe he can even illustrate a few of the finer points…who knows. Actors take their craft very seriously, so I think he’d be all for a little hands-on demonstration.

Alec Baldwin, nominated for 30 Rock
Did someone order a dirty old man? Alec’s the guy who will be staring at your boobs, assaulting his children on the phone during commercial breaks, making vulgar comments about women…and we’ll love him all the more for it. Oddly enough, even in his current paunchy, graying physique, he’s still kinda hot. There, I said it.

Gossip Cheat Sheet: Snooki Gets a Beatdown

It looks like Hollywood’s finest may have cleaned it up for the time being. Well, except for Lindsay Lohan hitting a stroller with her car. But for the most part, our favorite celebs have taken our advice from last week and gotten it together! Kind of. We wouldn’t have gossip if they weren’t all up to something sneaky.

Kind of a big deal

1. LFO’s Rich Cronin passed away this week at the age of 35. LFO was best known for their hit “Summer Girls” back in 1995. Rich was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005 and has been battling ever since. He reportedly had a stroke and didn’t recover. So sad, our thoughts are with his friends and family.

2. Britney Spears is getting sued for sexual harassment! By her former bodyguard! Scandalous. Fernando Flores claims that Britney exposed her britney to Flores several times and called him into her bedroom while she was naked. Flores also made a claim that Britney was inappropriate around her kids and borrowed his belt to discipline them. This could get ugly.

Emmy Fashion 2008 – The Best of the Best

emmy-statue.jpgThere is nothing better than a Sunday evening with french fries, Franzia and fashion. The Emmy Awards are on right now and they are…meh. The opening scene sorta blew (except for Heidi Klum’s sparkly unitard…that she looked HOT in), the rest is a bit boring, and my Franzia hangover is already kicking in.

But the red carpet fashion was some of the best I’ve seen in years. Seriously, I can’t even think of one dress that I didn’t totally love. Well, maybe one, but that is for a whole other post.

As I walked past a mirror on my way to the bathroom and caught my reflection – sorority butt pants, a stained t-shirt and super greasy hair – I couldn’t help but imagine what I would look like in any of the following gowns.

Not that I will ever walk a red carpet…or get to wear a Nanette Lepore gown…or drink any wine that doesn’t come in a box, but a girl can dream.
