What’s a girly-girl to do when she no longer wants to be a girly-girl? Trading in her beauty pageant crown for a pair of roller derby skates is one answer. In the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore comes a story about a Texas teenager who suddenly feels like she’s not getting satisfaction from life. Bliss, played by Ellen Page, is an indie rock loving suburbanite who stumbles into the world of roller derby by accident and discovers it is exactly what she’s looking for: high-energy, cool, dangerous and most importantly 100 percent completely not mainstream.
Starring alongside Ellen Page is Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, Daniel Stern and director Drew Barrymore.
The soundtrack shouldn’t be overlooked. All sorts of interesting stuff from artists like Tilly and the Wall, The Ramones, Peaches, and even a remix by Squeak E. Clean of The Chordettes track Lollipop.

Can we get some more security on set?! The Sex and the City sequel is currently shooting on the streets of New York City – or ahem – at least trying to shoot on the streets of NYC. Recently production was shut down as fans hoping for a peak at Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda rushed the set. Bodyguards did their best to hold admirers at bay and keep the actors safe. Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda, even had her trailer moved as a precaution. Unfortunately the chaos proved to be too much and filming had to be postponed for the time being.
How about a peek into the life of Shania Twain, who recently learned her husband was sleeping around with a good friend. Nice! Shania’s hubby of 14 years, record producer Mutt Lange, has allegedly been hooking up with a family friend and the secretary of their Swiss chateau Marie-Anne Thiebaud. Don’t cry too hard for Shania though as it seems she has found love once again: in the arms of Marie-Anne Theibaud’s estranged husband! Frederic Thiebaud is a 39-year-old triathlete that Shania has described on her blog as “a dear friend and a true gentleman.” Well that’s nice.
Who wants to see a 60-year-old man blowing stuff up? Apparently Sylvester Stalone. Stalone has announced he will be directing and starring in another Rambo film; Rambo number five to be exact. If you’re thinking money is a motivating factor for Sly you could be onto something. The previous installment of the series took in over $18 million it’s opening week and has grossed $113 million worldwide to date. Not too shabby for an aging action star.
All that and deets on Lindsay Lohan’s new pad, Keanu Reeves DNA test results and what star of The Hills is channeling “Michael Jackson’s spirit.” No joke.
