Sunshine Cleaning

How do you make much needed extra money as a cleaner? Answer, you clean up after dead people, usually suicides. Two sisters follow this route. One, Rose has a son, who she needs to educate privately, as he is seen as disruptive, in his school, the other Norah is overly clumsy and accident prone, un-hireable as a waitress. The bonding between the two sisters is strong. "Sunshine cleaning" begins to grow. At times they are deeply disturbed by what they are asked to clean up. Norah Lorkowski (Emily Blunt) is inquisitive about one of the deceased’s past and follows her estranged daughter. Their business is provided by Rose Lorkowski’s (Amy Adams) married boyfriend, a policeman. The film like it’s predecessor, Little Miss Sunshine, has an array of quirky characters. It flippantly pokes fun at American culture. There are some strong similarities with Little Miss Sunshine, through a very different storyline. The two principle female actors, the Lorkowski sisters, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, thrive in their rolls. It was educative for me, I had never heard of a "baby shower"before and if somebody would like to enlighten me as to its purpose I would be grateful, they are I think unheard of in the UK, a strange ritual indeed for me. Despite being such dark subject matter this was another ray of sunshine.

Hollywood Gossip

Hollywood Tidbits, Gossip, News

George Clooney's girlfriend has a name you know! She's not just some trophy model he picked up out of obscurity! Stacey Kiebler showed off her killer legs? OMG is George Clooney alright? Is he safe? Why should only super models have fun with fashion? Maybe because they look good? Is that a real question? Madonna lip synched at the Super Bowl. Duh, she's 53 and that's like 90 in Hollywood years. Brook Shields opens up her townhouse. That's fine but I have other plans, sorry Brook. Kiebler tells Clooney it's Italy or me. Who the hell is Italy? Jessica Simpson is nauseas all day every day. So are her fans. Kim Kardashian has hit rock bottom. I didn't know anyone was big enough to...Lindsay Lohan was thought to have been drunk because she looked bedraggled and desperate. PEOPLE THAT'S HER REGULAR LOOK! Scarlett Johansson is moving to London to avoid Blake Lively. Why not just hang out at the library? You'll never find Lively there. Marc Anthony believes J-Lo is his soulmate...and he would lose everything in the divorce, but mostly that soulemate thing. Angelina Jolie cheated on Brad Pitt after their first film together. Snooki isn't pregnant she's just big boned. Will Smith and Jada have split up the kids. Finally, Jennifer Aniston is too good for Justin Theroux, and mostly because he's French.

Jamie Lynn Spears says "the hateful comments hurt"...almost as bad as the herpes and the freaking contractions. What is Blake Lively looking for in a man? Confidence. Damn, she has low standards. Scarlett Johansson has a new man? Is a 38 year old really that new? Olivia Wilde used food to cope with divorce? I didn't know vomiting heals the soul. If Kim Kardashian shops til she drops has she fallen yet? Donald Trump wants to be in Mitt Romney's cabinet? Did he mean closet? Deion Sanders never offered cash for ass. He offered a house. Lindsay Lohan insists she didn't booze after the SAG awards. She boozed beforehand, duh.

Kim Kardashian has debuted a new hair color but how can we see it? Sofia Vergara is the most desirable woman of 2012? Um, isn't it January? Can we at least wait until tomorrow to make this announcement? Halle Berry spends a day at the beach and I still do not care. Scherzinger and Jones have parted ways with the X-Factor. That is Simon Cowell for "you suck, nobody likes you, get out". Are Miley and Liam still linked? Only if they're pinked. Terrell Owens has suggested "he don't have no friends." Does that mean he has lots of friends or he can't speak English? Jennifer Lopez does not know if she will remarry. Neither does anybody she is currently throttling (see Casper Smart for details). Octavia Spencer admits her weight is not healthy. Then why are you so fat? How romantic, Rachel McAdams never spends more than 3 weeks without Michael Sheen. That's great but how much time does she spend with him? Mike Tyson will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This guy is doing better in retirement than he ever did in the ring!
