Monique’s Top Ten Celeb Wrap Up 2012

December 14, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV, Music

As 2012 is drawing to a close, I thought I would lead you on a trip down memory lane of the top ten biggest stories in Hollywood this year. As I’ve only been limited to ten, there are many I have had to leave out (such as Disney buying Star Wars which, lets face it, was HUGE). It’s been absolutely fantastic sharing these Friday afternoons with you all and I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I have. Due to technical difficulties, I haven’t been able to do a top 5 for the week, but I do have [...]

Bad Advertising = Good Marketing?

October 16, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV

Today the new ad for Chanel No. 5 starring Brad Pitt went viral. It was popping up everywhere, I saw it on MamaMia and Woogsworld online and it even made the Channel Ten News. The ad was being slammed for how bad it was. But here’s the thing: It got us talking. It takes a lot to make a splash in advertising these days. For every “Not Happy, Jan” there are literally millions of ads no one ever remembers. A lot of it is hit and miss. Some ads are so memorable they enter the popular vernacular (like “the best [...]

Can We Please Let Jen Be Happy Now?

August 13, 2012 in Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Marriage, News, Relationships

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are engaged! So is it time to let Jen be happy and stop harping on about Brad Pitt? You can’t always believe everything you read when it comes to Hollywood gossip, otherwise Jennifer Aniston would either have a million children or would have broken the world record for longest (and least noticeable) pregnancy in the history of the universe. I generally treat any celeb news story with a grain of salt unless reps have confirmed or the celebrity themselves have announced it on their website/blog/social media platform. I am very excited to say that Jennifer [...]

Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater… Right?

August 1, 2012 in Anecdotes, Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Film & TV, Marriage, Relationships, Sex, Stories

So Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson – I know, my jaw dropped when I found out. For a woman who often appears so sullen in her interaction with the media, I have read interviews where ‘R-Patz’ has defended her ‘shy’ behavior and it would appear he is nothing short of a gentleman when discussing her or making appearances with her. Not only did Kristen cheat, but she cheated with a married father (who is equally complicit). Kristen was busted when photos that were undeniable in their authenticity and physical interaction surfaced. She took to twitter almost immediately, making the [...]

Life Imitating Art

May 23, 2012 in Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Film & TV, Relationships, Sex, Work

Don’t you just love it when actors who are a couple on-screen announce that they are also a couple off-screen? Well I do. I think this is because it makes their relationship on the television show or in the movie they star in appear more real. And just like it makes me happy when they are together in real life. I must admit, I do become a little bit upset when they announce their split…invariably because they have fallen in love with another co-star. But why does this happen, I hear you ask? It is a simple case of life imitating [...]
