She's more than Johnny Depp's girlfriend

GIRL, INTERRUPTED: I've been trying to watch the movie "Cache," starring Daniel Auteuil for a couple of weeks, but keep falling asleep. That was definitely not the case with his film "Girl on the Bridge," which is also one of my all-time favorite movies. Also starring Vanessa Paradis, the film is about two down-on-their-luck souls whose chance meeting turns their lives around. Auteuil plays a knife-thrower, and Paradis his target. The two meet when she's about to throw herself off the Pont Neuf in Paris, at which point Auteuil offers her a job as his target, as he hasn't been an accurate shot lately. With killer songs by Marianne Faithfull, Auteiul is the only thing that misses in this French flick.

No Mexicali Blues here

ENDLESS SUMMER: I know, another trip! After only a few blogs. It's just that time of year I suppose, though it'll be a summer chock full of blog entries, so stay tuned. Isla Mujeres is the destination, and surf, sun and snorkeling are the attractions. Quintana Roo is famous for hammocks, so wish us good hammock hunting!

Hair-dos and don'ts

Not to judge other people's personal preferences, but with the reappearance of our favorite Mormons in the news, it's worth it to take a moment to pause and consider their hair. I've been told that the higher the hair, the closer to God, so perhaps that explains the Flock of Seagulls-esque stylings. Clearly there's not a lot of modern influences in their world, but one hopes they caught a glimpse of a future with flatter hair.

What a joke

I have a major bone to pick with Maxim magazine and its readers. Heidi Montag, of "The Hills" infamy, was named to their Hot 100. Meaning, they think the plastic pariah is hot. I understand the appeal of big boobs as well as the next girl, but the girl's personality is about as appealing as a peanut butter and plastic sandwich. At least I can console myself with the fact that she'll never make my Hot 100 anything. Except celebrities to be forgotten.

Short and sweet

Gwyneth is one of the most stylish stars around, but in the last few years she was stagnating. She wore her famous blonde locks long and, for the most part, stick straight, parted down the middle. It was cool at first, but we thought a new look would do her good. And voila! With the release of "Iron Man," which was undeniably awesome, the fashion plate has returned with newly shorn locks. Her hair hits just above her shoulders, and looks great worn wavy. She may not be the nicest girl on set, but she's once again the most stylish.
