BRIDESMAIDS: A REVIEW

So I'm sure you've seen and lol'd at the trailer for 'Bridesmaids' already and read all those 4-star reviews, but are thinking to yourself, is it really that funny?

I mean, it's quite a regular occurance these days for the papers go on about how 'amazing' a film is, then when you get there and think 'really?' as all those funny bits in the trailer become the only laugh-out-loud bits the film has to offer.

But... I must say, Bridesmaids is simply genius!

Here is a film that actually (shock horror) allows women to be funny. And I don't mean smirk-type funny, I mean spitting out your popcorn as your sides hurt funny.

Not being a feminist or whatevs, but it was such a refreshing thing to see women in a film have personalities and real characters- not just props there to look good and to seem desperate for a boyfriend, because we all know modern women definitely aren't like that.

Anyway, enough about that, back to the film... If you don't know already, then it's about a group of boistrous women led by the fabulous Kristen Wiig as Annie, 'the maid of dishonour', who have been asked by their friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) to make up her wedding party.

Annie's life is pretty crazy right now- she's just lost her bakery business, she's sleeping with a 'fit but twit' type cad who just won't commit, and she's suddenly realized she's thirty-odd even though she feels about nineteen. So when her life-long pal Lillian asks her to be her maid of honour, it's not her ideal situation.

Although she loves Lil, her current situation doesn't make her the best candidate, teamed with the fact that Lillian's annoyingly perfect pal Helen (Rose Byrne) does anything she can to sabotage her efforts it's not easy to keep the party in check. Especially when that party is a bunch of sex-mad, life-loving misfits.

The film follows Annie and the girls as they go on their hectic journey to get Lilly down the aisle- with hilarious antics on the way including a dress-fitting scene that you won't wanna be eating your popcorn through and an aeroplane journey that will have you giggling long after the film's finished.

Wiig plays her role perfectly- Annie's honest, down-to-earth character is definitely a worthy rival to Bridget Jones and will have you wishing she was your best friend.

All of the supporting cast play their roles brilliantly too; Rudolph has perfect chemistry with Wiig, Mellissa McCarthy is devilishly funny as the butch Megan and there's even a role for the The IT Crowd's Chris O'Dowd who plays sweet-natured cop Nathan Rhodes.

All-in-all an innovative, funny, laugh-out-loud, honest film that is bringing rom-com's into the modern era at last. Go See!!

ELIZA'S NEW LOOK IS PANTS

Sorry, but when did it become acceptable to wear just a pair of pants when out and about in daylight?

I don't get why celebrities feel like they can walk around in underwear and think it's normal like Eliza Doolittle did here at the Coca Cola Olympics 2012 launch at Westfield shopping centre yesterday.

If any of us girls walked down the highstreet in fuchia frillies everyone would think we are mad, but just because they sing a bit on the radio it's suddenly justified?

Maybe Miss Doolittle thinks she can get away with the look because she is wearing trainers, but I just don't see the point? Surely a pair of shorts would make the outfit look a lot better and everyone would still see the fact that she had amazing legs, without her having her vag nearly on show.

Lets just hope this doesn't become the latest trend down the highstreet. That would NOT be a pretty sight.

ZABECCA MAKES ME FEEL A BIT QUESY

Now, I am not one to judge people, but to me Zayn Malik and Rebecca Ferguson just look plain wrong.

It's not because of age- there is only six years difference, which is nothing really. It's just the fact that Zayn still looks like a little boy, where is Rebecca is a full-grown woman with her own children.

I mean, it is all good for the women of the world to swoon over the Biebs, but you wouldn't want to actually date him right?!!

I just think it might be a tad confusing for her children to see her smooching someone that looks like he could be their brother.

Maybe Rebecca needs to start realising that she's a woman and not a little girl anymore.

NUBO SUBO

So it's been two years since Susan Boyle a.k.a. SuBo hit our screens with her THOSE eyebrows and THAT mustard dress...

And until now, she has remained fairly un-transformed (apart from a very necessary eyebrow pluck and a new dress).

But it seems the 50-year-old (yes fifty) has decided to take a leaf out of her mentor Simon Cowell's books and is getting her teeth whitened.

Apparently the ecentric Scottish singer thinks the 'Subo sparkle treatment' will take years off her, and overhaul her image.

Insiders said she had even considered veneers but doesn't want to look 'weird'.

But is it a good thing that Subo is beautifying herself? Does she need the makeover or is she just going too Hollywood on us and loosing her original charm?

KATE'S LOST TOO MUCH WEIGHT

I'm not being funny, I know every bride wants to look their best on their wedding day, but in my opinion, Kate Middleton has lost waaaay to much weight.

In fact she didn't even need to lose any weight in the first place as she's always been slim in every picture I've ever seen of her.

I'm sure her idea was that she thought by losing weight she'd look amazing on her big day, when if fact she's just turned herself into a skinny rake.

To be honest, I thought the future princess, with her first-class education and well-to-do family would be more sensible that to bow down to the pressures of the 'size zero' stereotype and put her health at risk- it's what z-list celebs do, not future queens!

With a million girls looking up to her, I reckon Kate's advisors need to sit her down, show her this picture and tell her honestly that she needs to scoff a plate of afternoon cream teas... pronto!

CORRIE GIRLS HAVE TAKEN THEIR ROLE A BIT FAR

I don't know about you... but to me Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson, who play Corronation Street's first lesbian couple, have taken their roles a bit too seriously with this latest picture of them in a bath together.

I mean, I know they're only carrying on their roles as Sophie Webster and Sian Powers on the photoshoot for lesbian magazine 'Diva', but it is a little perverse some of the poses they are doing- even more steamier than most men's mags!

If they are not careful, people are going to actually think they girls are a couple in real life- what with them already being best mates and admitting to 'holding hands' as they walk down the street.

They also moaned about the fact that guys contantly ask them to kiss when they are out together- but when they're doing shoots like this, of course men will behave that way to them.

I think their behaviour is a little attention-seeking if I'm honest, and don't really think they have any grounds for their complaints.

Fair enough, they are on 19 and of course they like the fact that guys fancy them, but you can't moan about it when you are basically seeking it out in the first place.

In a couple of years when they've grown up a bit, I can't help but think they will be a little embarassed by all these over-the-top photoshoots and interviews- when they will probably claim that they are now 'serious actresses' and will moan that the show has stereotyped them.

we will just have to wait and see...
