I had a great day today. Compared to yesterday…. I really have to do something about my Tuesdays because they are seriously AGING me. I’m going to look 100 years old in NO TIME if I don’t do something about my Tuesdays. Ah well. It’s all good. Really, it’s all good.

And, you know? It wouldn’t be so bad if my little monkeys would COOPERATE with me. It’s like my monkeys morph into CRAZY when they wake up Tuesday morning. Monkey, the QUEEN of defiant; Rascal, the KING of RANSACKING HOUSE.

Actually, no matter what day of the week it is, Monkey’s being defiant and Rascal’s ransacking. It’s bliss, really. Today was no exception. AAAAARRRRGGGHHH! But, enough about me and my woes. Time to TALK FUN STUFF.

The Tudors.

OMG, The Tudors. If you haven’t seen The Tudors, you must RUN out of your house (even if you are wearing pajamas) to your nearest video store AND RENT IT. If it’s not available at your video store, you must go BUY it on AMAZON. Makes a great gift, too, for ALL YOUR FRIENDS. This show is incredible.

I cried at the end of the show last night. And, I’m embarrassed to admit that, if you were in my living room, at the very end of the last episode of Season 2 (aired last night), you would have heard me say out loud, while kissing MY CAT, “God Bless Anne Boleyn.” Yes, you would have heard me say that. And, you would have seen me BAWLING. (Let’s just keep it between us, though, ‘kay, Gorgeouses?)

That’s all I’m going to say about it because I don’t want to spoil anything for those WHO ARE RUNNING OUT THE DOOR TO GO GET IT NOW!!! who haven’t seen it. But, I WILL say, the portrayal of Anne preparing for death was simply STUNNING, breathtaking, fascinating, heartbreaking. I’ve been thinking about it a lot today. How to say good bye to your own life?

Natalie Dormer, who played Anne, will be missed in Season 3. She was outstanding. And, I’m wondering how they will ever get Jonathan Rys Meyers to look fat. Or, will someone else play the FAT King Henry VIII?

As for celebrity news? Jennifer Aniston makes a funny about Brangelina in the January issue of GQ, and I LOVE IT! But, first, the seriously sexay cover (and then the funny)….

This cover makes me really HAPPY. While, yes, it’s exploitative, etc., SHE’S 39 YEARS OLD. This is a 39-YEAR-OLD woman NAKED on the front of one of the most prestigious magazines in the world. And, that’s fantastic. I’m 34 years old, and I need to know that (even though Jen’s never had children) I CAN LOOK LIKE THAT in five years. More importantly, it’s a sign that 39 is no longer OVER THE HILL in Hollywood. Excellent.

Now for the funny. In the magazine, Jennifer sticks it to Brangelina AGAIN. It’s awesome:

The funny thing is that people don’t realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends…. No. But can you imagine? That’d be hysterical: I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox….

Ha! Can you imagine? I love it.

Speaking of BRANGE, CAN THIS BE TRUE?

Twins…AGAIN? Their current twins, Vivienne and Knox, are only five months old! Here’s what a source for Star Magazine has to say about it:

“Angie’s doctors told her that she has a strong chance of conceiving twins if she does it within two years after having her first pair,” a friend tells Star. “She’s been seeing a fertility doctor regularly. She and Brad are monitoring when she’s fertile. And they’re trying really hard in the bedroom!”

So, she’s not necessarily preggers just yet, but she and Brad are working HARD at it — working hard to get ANOTHER set of TWINS. Star says she’s even doing the yams and orange juice thing…. Because, apparently, yams and orange juice make you more fertile….

Next. It’s OLIVIA!

I have to have THAT DOLL. For the Monkey. The Monkey LOVES Olivia. Sigh…, the Monkey and Suri Cruise would be SUCH good friends…. Katie, if you’re reading this? Call me!

And, lastly, for today…. OUR FAVE TALK-SHOW HOST, ELLEN DEGENERES, is the poster girl for the new CoverGirl AND Oil of Olay campaign for their new line of makeup that DOESN’T MAKE YOU LOOK OLDER (as makeup often does, settling into lines/wrinkles, etc.). Check it:

Regarding the campaign, Ellen told People Magazine, “I’m thrilled to be a CoverGirl…. I’ve been practicing in my bathroom mirror for years…. Now finally, you’ll all be able to see it.” Haha! You gotta love her. I ALSO love her because she and wife Portia De Rossi are VEGAN. She’s been quoted as saying,

You ask people why they have deer heads on the wall. They always say, Because it’s such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother’s attractive, but I have photographs of her.

Ha! Love…. Here they are enjoying their totally vegan wedding cake:

What made Ellen decide to go vegan? The very thing that turned ME into a vegan: Skinny Bitch. The vegan world is now hoping Ellen can influence CoverGirl and Oil of Olay to STOP TESTING ON ANIMALS….

Okay, that’s all for this week!

Love!
