"Reel" FReepers - Celebrating Cinema

Yes, you're right. I'm sure I've said "going to the show" much more often than "going to the picture show."

Good point.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have I said today how much I love FReepers? I am downloading the video now, and a software update so I can (ahem) fully enjoy the experience.

My Review of "Music and Lyrics" starring Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant...

I really enjoyed "Music and Lyrics" because I like romantic romantic comedies that are entertaining, funny, and make me laugh. I thought Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore were very believable. I intend to buy it when it comes out on DVD so that when I need a good laugh, it'll be there. Rated PG-13

I am sorry.. just a few times when I saw their pix, I was not sure if it was G or C

senility?

It just means you haven't spent as much time as I have, obsessing over Gerry Butler, that's all. LOL! (My husband is amusedly tolerant of what he is sure is a temporary fixation.) Plus, Clive Owen is a short blond surly guy, while GB is a tall, dark, (and IMO, very handsome) jovial one. I believe a self-deprecating humor is one of the most attractive qualities of all.

Off to get ready for church! Have a great day, Dolly!

WINCHCOMBE, England —

Elizabeth Hurley married an Indian businessman in a private civil ceremony at a 15-century castle, and photographers and spectators descended Saturday on this quiet town in western England to catch a glimpse of their lavish wedding party.

Gloucestershire County Council confirmed that Hurley and Arun Nayar married Friday at Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, 125 miles west of London. The pair planned to hold a blessing and party at the castle later Saturday, with guests including Elton John, Kate Moss and Hurley's ex, Hugh Grant.

Security guards on Saturday patrolled the castle grounds, set amid the Cotswold hills of western England. A large tent had been erected in the grounds, and a covered walkway led from the gardens to the building.

Hurley, 41, and Nayar, 42, reportedly have signed a lucrative deal with Hello! magazine for exclusive rights to images of the event. Hurley made appearances in the "Austin Powers" movies and "Bedazzled" and for several years was the international face of Estee Lauder cosmetics.

Several shopfronts in the picturesque town were adorned with signs and notices wishing the couple good luck.

HANOI, Vietnam —

Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a Vietnamese child, the country's top adoption official said Friday.

A U.S. adoption agency representing the 31-year-old actress filed the papers at Vietnam's International Adoption Agency, said Vu Duc Long, the agency's director.

"She just filed the papers this week," Long said.

Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, have three children: 5-year-old son Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old daughter Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.

Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who applied to adopt as a single parent.

A phone message left with Jolie's Los Angeles-based manager, Geyer Kosinski, wasn't immediately returned.

Jolie and Pitt, 43, made a surprise visit to Vietnam at Thanksgiving, when they visited the Tam Binh orphanage, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.
