We've got to assume they're also looking to get adults to read more, because of the adult-themed books the Harry Potter folks are holding in their posters.
Here are some thoughts on the book selections…
The Master & The Margarita - Not sure how many kids are into reading Soviet satire
Romeo & Juliet - Good choice…but for somewhat older children
A Clockwork Orange - Not for kids. WTF, Rupert?!?!?
The posters with the age-inappropriate book choices go on sale on October 18. ALA Graphics will give Facebookers the chance to win these posters through a trivia contest here.
Do U think the Harry Potter stars will inspire U to read more?
Drew Carey is a huge soccer fan -- but a controversy over the World Cup could cost the comedian some serious dough. The "Price is Right " host has been sued by a tour company that claims Carey's assistant called them up back (Read more...)
Despite pretty much everyone on the planet wishing he would cut out all of the bullshiz acting and just make a new album, Justin Timberlakerevealed that he has no plans as of now to produce any more tunes!
He explains, or something:
"…Does a painter make a painting because he has to make it by December 21st? No, he doesn’t. It happens when it pours out of him. That’s how music is for me. I never stop making music. I don’t know what else to tell you, except that I just don’t know [in] what capacity I want to be involved anymore. All I’m saying is, in very simple terms, I’ll know when I know. And until I know, I don’t know."
What the fuck does that even mean?!
UGH. Can't someone just put the rest of us out of our misery and tell him he's a shiteous actor, so he can get his head out of his ass and go back into the studio?
During Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson's custody battle last month, the baby mamma revealed in her deposition that the psychotic douchebag left daughter Lucia alone to smoke a cigarette - and she fell so hard she needed to see a chiropractor!
She explains:
"I ran downstairs and he already picked her up and told me that he did something stupid. He (Mel) didn't say very much, he was upset and I took Lucia and I was — I didn't say anything to him. I asked him how it happened, and what had happened and how he found her, and he explained everything to me. Showed where she fell from and I analyzed her and looked at her eyes. I looked at her bruises - not bruises but the bump on her front and the bump on her back, back of the head and the front of the head and analyzed that - but she looked focused. After initial shock of crying and, of course, I consoled her and she stopped crying eventually. So literally she was sitting on a slide on top of the table. I think he went to have a smoke (Read more...)
Taylor Swift recently revealed that her performance of her new track, Innocent, at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards helped her put into perspective what happened between she and Kanye West the year earlier!
She explains:
"For me, I felt like performing [at the] VMAs was the best way to go out there and sing how I was actually feeling, being there really helped put all that behind me. I have a lot fun doing this and getting to write songs about what happens in my life, but putting it all out there in your music - all the details - you're taking a chance with that because you are very vulnerable."
We're glad to hear it, bb!
Now hopefully you both can just put that whole mess behind you!
You have much more exciting prospects to focus on!
Never one to let a good fashion event go by, Rachel Bilson was photographed at the Bulgari Presents Matthew Williamson Cocktail Party to celebrate his Spring/Summer 2011 collection on September 26 in Milan, Italy. Rachel looked gorgeous in a Christian Dior Fall 2010 silk and lace dress, along with a cropped black blazer, a white quilted Chanel clutch and nude Brian Atwood "Marlo" heels. To get a look similar to Rachels, try a dress with a hint of lace (like Singles Scoop Neck Shift Dress in Black/Natural or Isabel Lus Lace Cutout Zip Back Mini in Charcoal) and layer with a black blazer with an unusual silhouette, like Jack by BB Dakotas Jack Blazer in Black. From there, slip into a pair of leg lengthening nude pumps and tote a white clutch (Antoinette Lee Designs Dolcita Clutch in White is very similar to Rachels Chanel clutch) to complete your look. While Rachel is giving major pouty attitude in the photo on the left, Im not sure if Im fully loving this look. Your thoughts, readers? In Rachel career news, it seems that the petite starlet is teaming up with "The O.C." creator Josh Schwartz once more, as RB is slated (Read more...)
