Happy Fourth of July!
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
The Daily Edition is highly recommending The Devil Wears Prada. Meryl Streep plays hard-nosed fashion mogul, Miranda Priestly, who takes on the fashion-challenged Andy (Anne Hathaway) as her personal assistant. Andy is a recent college graduation who moved to New York to become a journalist. She has no clue about the fashion industry and always made fun of models. Miranda has a reputation as a devil in the business, but takes on Andy because she's different than her past assistants. Miranda's overly demanding and often nasty attitude has pushed many out the door. But Andy decides to rise to the challenge, shocking everyone at the office who thought she could never make it in such a tough business. While the movie seems to target women, it is a great underdog story that both sexes can enjoy, especially if you've ever had a boss from hell.
SAY WHAT?!
This is as sick as it gets. An Oklahoma judge is facing four years in prison after he was convicted of exposing himself and using a sex gadget while he presided over trials. Veteran judge Donald Thompson was accused of using a penis pump on himself during four serious trials in 2002 and 2003. His former court reporter testified that she saw him use the pump at least 15 times. She even testified that she heard the pump's "sh-sh" sound during the trial of a murdered toddler. Thompson claims the gadget was simply a gag gift that he never used. Right.
QUICK HITS
- Doesn't Regis Philbin seem like an odd choice to host AMERICA'S GOT TALENT? Sure he's beloved and has name recognition, but this show aims at a much younger audience. With drag queen and stripper contestants, old Reege just seems out of place. It's just strange seeing him on a show that isn't wholesome. Perhaps the paycheck was just too big to refuse.
