SAG Awards Full List of Nominees
Golden Globe Awards Full List of Nominees

Be sure to tune in on Saturday, Jan. 17 2010 for the Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Ricky Gervais and on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010 for the Screen Actors Guild.

Clueless star Brittany Murphy has died, E! News has confirmed.

The 32-year-old actress went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday morning following a 911 call from her husband, Simon Monjack, Variety reports. The star was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

A rep for the star's family tells E! News, "The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this time."

Murphy starred in such films as 8 Mile, Uptown Girls, Sin City and Don't Say a Word, and voiced the part of Luanne Platter in the Fox animated series, King of the Hill.

Former boyfriend Ashton Kutcher immediately Twittered, "2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother, Sharon."

Murphy began her career at age nine on Broadway in Les Miserables, and went on to several short-lived television gigs before landing her role as Tai in 1995's hit comedy, Clueless.

Another banner year for the star was 2002, when she starred opposite Eminem in 8 Mile and became a tabloid favorite for dating Kutcher during and after their film, Just Married.

When that relationship fizzled, Murphy's tumultuous dating life didn't end for years later.

The actress was engaged several times—first to former agent, Jeff Kwatinetz, then Little Black Book production assistant, Joe Macaluso—before marrying screenwriter Monjack in 2007.

I'm a HUGE fan of the show. The ones who know me know how much I love it and how much I love Hugh Laurie. However, I can't believe this season.

a) I LOVED BROKEN. I thought it was simply a brilliant script. Mainly because it was all about House in an environment we had never seen before, surrounded by people who were new to him as they were to us. Plus, we could see the "evil" House, trying to get away with his cunning plans. But it all seemed weird when he tried to be good. House isn't good. He's mean, he's a jerk and there's no way he'll be able to change. He said it a thousand times: PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE!

b) A good House is a boring House. Not seing House treating patients the way he used to makes the show lose its original essence. House was all about screwing with patients, with his team, with Wilson and with Cuddy. Where did all that go? I miss that!!

c) Enough with the changes in the team! Producers decided to cut Jennifer Morrison's character Allison Cameron off the show. Cameron is the caring character, the pretty lady of the team: the one who brings the love to each case. Now that she's gone we'll have to settle for Foreman (who we all hate since S3), Taub (the most incredibly boring character in the face of earth!), Thirteen (who stopped being interesting when we found out she has Huntington's) and Chase (who had a great -yet, invented out of nowhere- storylines this season). Not a very convincing team. Actually, rather dull.

d) I'm sick of Cuddy. I used to like Lisa but when she wasn't a hysterical, annoying bitch! The House/Cuddy storyline is beyond boredom: IS PATHETIC! Deal with it: Cuddy has a child and House is nowhere near becoming a father figure. The come, they go, they come and they go again. And nothing happens! C'mon, let them have sex and we can get over this! It's really simple: House is destined to end up alone. I'm sorry if anyone had great expectations for him, but if you've watched S2 and saw what happend with Stacy, there are no more words. That was his great love and he hurt her. So what do you think he'll do with Cuddy? And... hold on. Where the fuck did he get all that loving feeling for her? Out of a sex hallucination? Out of a few flirting scenes over S5? Seriously, continuity isn't House's writers strengh.

e) Wilson is nice. Wilson is the best friend we will all want. Wilson can't be a jerk! I don't fuckign cae about the "baby steps". Outbid Cuddy? That's now Wilson's thing! Since when does Wilson like revenge? He couldn't stay angry with House for more that 4 episodes (4 months time in a tv show approx.) for being responsible for Amber's death (yes, guys. I know you love Greg, but let's face it: he did drag Amber to her death) and now he punishes Cuddy?

f) WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE WRITERS AND PRODUCERS?????? I love the show and they are destroying it! Scripts are not witty anymore, and if the storylines continue to decline: the show will die!


Since S3 House hasn't been the same. The show survives because of Hugh Laurie, who can play whatever he wants and he does it perfectly. Despite that, the show used to a be about the cases, the medical charts, the mystery, the puzzle that House had to solve along with his team. Now, it's all about personal relationships. I have Grey's Anatomy for that! I WANT MY HOUSE BACK!



Here's a summary of S6 so far. I've made it myself and if you look closely: it's all about the characters' relationships because that's what the show's been about lately.

I never uploaded pictures or videos from The Killers concert, which by the way, was FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had so much fun!

Mr Brightside & All These Things I've Done




All These Things I've Done (I GOT A SOUL BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER)

All I wanted was to practise my English, I never expected more than that, but all I got now is the weird feeling that you may never see a person you like again, and it makes you feel sad that it only lasted for a few days.

This is my case. I’ve been working for a catering service for the past 5 days and I got to know 5 English native speakers, who I’ll never see again unless they want to take me to their countries and adopt me (not very likely). And it’s an amazing experience because I’ve never been with foreigners for such a long time. I only get to serve them food, and ask them if they want coffee, but that’s enough interaction for me, the right amount I need.

However, today’s been different. I was sent alone to the location at 1.30 AM and I believe everybody noticed how incredibly bored I was this morning, and that’s why they were all so nice to me.

The thing is that I don’t want to forget these 5 people because they are kind, respectful and most importantly, they like me.

I taught them my name, just for the sake of knowing theirs. It was funny that they compared Belén (my name) with Berlin. Apparently, they both sound alike to them, so since I didn’t want to be called ‘Berlin’, I asked them to call me ‘Bell’ that is a shot for my name and it’s something they can perfectly pronounce. OK, now it was time to get to know them.

Firstly, we got Gary. He’s the director and photographer of the photo shoot. I really don’t know much about him, but he’s nice. He’s really tall, a bit fat and wears a cap. He has blue eyes and white beard. He’s bald. He always says ‘Hola, Bell’ (I think he likes saying the word ‘bell’, and that’s why he remembers my name) and says ‘thank you’ a hundred times in one day. He’s British; don’t know which part, though. I’ll try to find out more if I get hired for the next few days. Together with him, we have Ian. A short, soon to become bald British guy, who is the assistant photographer, and apparently, a good friend of Gary. He’s more serious, but deep down I know he’s kind because whenever he can, he smiles at me perkily. He wears glasses with black frame and has brown eyes. They both like black coffee with no sugar. Gary loves ‘mediaslunas de manteca (croissants)’. Seriously, he will leave Argentina with a few extra pounds – not my fault! Both Gary and Ian like teasing me with the fact that I could immediately remember their names. ‘You’re good!’, they said. Actually, they are pretty good too because they have to problem with my name either.

Secondly, there are Sarah and Amy. They are Americans living in Germany because of their job. I don’t know much about Amy, just that she’s from Detroit. She always has a smile on her face, even if it’s raining or if she’s bored. She’s a bit chubby and her hair is long and with blonde highlights. She eats absolutely everything I offer her, which is nice because I don’t feel like an idiot every time I approach her with food. Sarah is quieter. She hates Germany and wants to return to the US. She’s tall, blonde and thin. Her gorgeous blue eyes can be seen from a distance. She is rather picky with the food and she’s ‘always OK’. Other than that, she’s really sweet and thankful, so is Amy.

And last, but not least is Peter. I adore this man and I‘ve only known him for 3 days. He couldn’t be cooler. He has this Tom Sawyer look and he’s sort of hippie. He wears baggy pants and these old black boots. He always brings the same sweater to work and has this cool orange raincoat. He has piercing blue eyes, and has grey hair. Today I talked to him for 20 minutes and he told me a lot about him. He was born and raised in Massachusetts but he now lives in Los Angeles (Hollywood, to be more specific). He also used to live in China Town there, so when he saw the ginger tea he was very excited. Peter is not a mechanic like I thought. He explained to me that he’s an artist. However, he doesn’t like selling his stuff. I think he said he’s a photographer as well. But he now builds this machines that they put on cars to take pictures from different angles: I believe that’s art too, so does he. This is not his first time in Argentina: he’s been twice in Buenos Aires, and also in Mendoza, Bariloche and San Juan. He plans to visit Alta Patagonia in the near future and he wants to go Salta because of the variety of colours. He’s the nicer out of the 5 of them. Every morning, he comes up to the breakfast table and he says ‘Hi, Bell’ or ‘Hola, Bell’ and takes his orange juice and coffee. It kills me when he says ‘Gracias’. Actually, the 5 of them try to say ‘gracias’, which is really friendly. Today, Peter used me as a translator. I was so bored this morning that that exact moment when he asked me, made my day.

Bottom line: this job is demanding but definitely worthy. This is an experience I’ll never forget because I’ll never forget Sarah, Amy, Gary, Ian and Peter who are the only reason I took this job: they needed someone from the catering service who spoke English to them and I was perfect for that, even if I don’t know how to make coffee.

Have you ever felt like the world gave you a punch on the face and you just can't recover from it? Because you're not prepared for that punch. We are never prepared. No-one prepares us for a punch on the face.
Iced water. In large amounts. On your body. Piercing. Devastating. That's how I feel. Devastated.


I made a resolution 3 weeks ago, and that was to NEVER think, talk, write, draw o do any kind of activity that involved him. And until this paragraph I was doing more than just well. But like everything, relationships that are not successful need closer. Well, since that relationshio couldn't have a face to face closer, it needs words to be over. So this is the last time I allow myself to ever consider think of him. Ill never be sure if I really loved him. I don't have much experience in the love department. Actually, I have very little experience. So LOVE I'm still not sure what it is (Wow, I should really get a love life...man, I'm a loser). I think it was, but it was weak and childish. Stupid. Teenage love. Cyberlove. It sucked. I suck. I screwed it up. Like everything I touch o lay hand on. I sometimes wonder what have I done to deserve all this and I can't explain. Can't find the answer. I'm clueless. I left him without an answer so he can hate me and never try to reach me again. I caused him pain. He didn't deserve it. And now, well... now, we are too different. Two different people. We are two souls again. Always and forever didn't last much. Sorry. Goodbye.


Wow, I cried a river while writing that. I guessed I deserved it and needed it. However, that's not the only reason I've got for to cry.
You think you are there. That are connecting with that person again, and it vanishes like thin air. Why can't I have that one friend that you can tell everything to? That you can rely on no matter what? That you can talk to and will listen? That considers you your first choice and not the leftovers? That includes you in her plans? That wants you to be a part of her life? I've never had a friend like that, even if many think I do. I don't.


I used to know so many things. And now, I'm just a tiny little person that doesn't like herself anymore. That doesn't like where she is going. And I really need to stop talking about myself in third person!!!!! (huge ego, sorry).
I'm gonna plan a trip. I don't have the money, but I don't care. I'll just plan it for when the money miraculously gets in my pockets. Because that would be a trip I'd like to do. And for which I don't need to be invited.


Hugs and Hughs,
Bell

These past 2 days have been all about Hugh Laurie. I admit that I'm deeply and madly in love with a guy I've never met and that has the age to be my father. I don't care what other people say: he IS hot. But most important that him being sexy is his talent. He's not a random British actor that was picked 6 years ago to play a cranky doctor on American television.
Hugh can do comedy, drama, animation, adventure and whatever else you can think of. He's also a talented musician: he plays the piano, the guitar and the harmonica. He can sing and he writes his own songs as well.
All of that can be seen in his work of over 25 years!

I love House (very much) but Hugh is not just Greg.

What I've been watching this weekend:

This is why I believe English comedy is great(:




Hugh and Imelda Staunton are a great (fictional) couple.





The "coffee jingle". Probably one of the best scenes of Peter's Friends.




If Hugh turns up one day outside my house, I'd like him to play these scene for me with hair, the beard and dog included)




So funny :)




Stephen Fry understands Hugh Laurie (well, sorta)




The Sperm Song is hilarious!




Mr Nippl-e is LOVE




In English we say 'good morning'




BRAVO!!!





And of course... a bit of House won't hurt us.
