The trailer for the highly anticipated film, "Fifty Shades of Grey," which releases around Valentine's Day 2015; has set a 2014 trailer record.

Additional deets below.


Via CBS News:
"Fifty Shades of Grey" won't be heating up the big screen until February, but the film's trailer is already steaming up plenty of computer screens.

The preview for the adaptation of E L James' erotic novel has set a record for the most-viewed trailer of 2014. "Fifty Shades" had the best opening week of any trailer this year, racking up 36.4 million YouTube views since it was released on July 24, according to data from technology firm Zefr cited by The Hollywood Reporter.

That's enough to beat "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," which racked up 31 million views when its debut trailer arrived back in March. "Godzilla" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction" earned 26.3 million views in their opening weeks, while "Dumb and Dumber Too" notched 23.5 million.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" trailer was released so it could play before "Lucy," the new action film starring Scarlett Johansson, THR reports. That film went on to win its opening weekend at the box office, earning $44 million and besting Dwayne Johnson's "Hercules."

"Fifty Shades," starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, opens in theaters on Feb. 13, 2015.

Side Note: A plethora of media sites are calling this incident a "fight"...However, it appears to be just a verbal exchange. Reportedly the heated exchange was over a comment Justin made about Orlando Bloom's soon-to-be ex-wife, Mirando Kerr, who allegedly slept with Justin Bieber at some point.

Emmy nominated actress, Kerry Washington and her gorgeous hubby, Nnamdi Asomugha were spotted at Disneyland over the weekend, with their precious daughter, Isabelle.

It was nice to see the usually uber private couple out and about. They make an awesome couple! Additional deets below....


 Via E Online:
So the "happiest place on Earth" it was for Kerry Washington, husband Nnamdi Asomugha and their baby girl, Isabelle, when they spent the afternoon and evening at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure on Saturday. The proud parents, their daughter, a nanny and a number of family members arrived at the Anaheim, Calif., theme park at around 4 p.m. and stayed until 10 p.m., crashing at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa before making the drive back to L.A. in the morning.

Kerry Washington's best looks While at the park, their nanny watched Isabelle while Kerry and Nnamdi got their thrill on at California Adventure, riding the California Screamin' roller coaster, taking the plunge from the Tower of Terror and motoring the Radiator Springs Racers.

The couple, who celebrated a year of marriage in June, also enjoyed classics like Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion and Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. They didn't appear to have extra bodyguards wtih them but the family did take VIP tours around the park.

We're told that Kerry looked very happy and healthy and seemed to be in good spirits around the inevitable throng of fans around her, but as far as an eyewitness could tell she didn't stop to take pictures with anyone. She and Nnamdi, a Cal Berkeley grad and former cornerback for the San Francisco 49ers, indulged in churros and cotton candy and purchased some mugs and shirts for souvenirs.

Sounds like a fun weekend for the whole family! — Reporting by Michelle Falls

OMG. BUY THIS NOW ----> Review: The Fixed Trilogy By Laurelin Paige [Fixed on You, Found in You, Forever with You] + Hudson [Fixed, #4]

 photo c976ad5e-a5a8-4dc9-a89c-0cbca8cc6a59_zps48764583.png 

Let me start off by saying, although many are doing so; don't compare The Fixed Trilogy series with that of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Don't. Do. It.

Don't get me wrong. I read and liked the Fifty Shades of Grey series and will definitely see the film. But, where Fifty Shades is a cheese sampler platter of a read...Fixed is a seven-course gourmet meal!

The Fixed Trilogy by Laurenlin Paige, is an unbelievably wonderful surprise. I happened upon the series as a recommendation and based on the amount of the reviews, I chose it as my free kindle title for the month of July. Gotta love Amazon PRIME. By the time I was mid-way through the first novel, I stopped reading for a brief moment and purchased the trilogy as well. This is one that you definitely will want to keep in your virtual library. [You can order the series in paperback as well.)

Alayna's and Hudson's story is a freaking saga!

The character development, explosive chemistry, unique plot twists, a round-up of top-notch entertaining supporting characters, and a creative story flow, will have you turning pages furiously, trying anxiously to find out what happens next. Hudson Pierce, is in a league all by himself. Period. Alayna Withers could not fight the dynamic electricity that pulled the two together from the start...of course even when she tried; Hudson would not allow it.

From the dark tides that roll in on the duo, that includes various folks trying to keep them apart, personal issues and dysfunctional family units, Alayna and Hudson, must fight to keep their deep love in tact, and their shocking pasts from resurfacing; wreaking havoc once more.

Laurelin Paige's rich writing skills, results in one of the best contemporary romance novels on the market. I must stress, if you don't normally read this particular genre, don't let that stop you from downloading The Fixed Trilogy...like Hudson Pierce...its in a league all by itself.

Get it today! Its crazy good.

Link to Amazon: The Fixed Trilogy Amazon Link

I finished reading this epic read last Thursday and tried to get this posted before the weekend but didn't have time. However..Sunday is a great day for blogging and reading. By the way...Laurelin Paige released a fourth installment in the Fixed series, titled, Hudson, earlier this month. Its a companion piece in the Fixed series.

So I'm off to read, Hudson, now.

As always... Happy reading!

The Fixed Trilogy - By Laurelin Paige [Fixed on You, Found in You, Forever with You]

Synopsis via Amazon:

All three books of the NY Times Bestselling Fixed Trilogy are included in this bundle.

 "If you are a fan of the Fifty Shades and Crossfire Trilogies, than you will love this serious as well!"

"Move over Christian and Gideon, there's a new dominant in town."

"Fifty Shades may have allowed the erotic storytelling to be more commonplace but this trilogy and author blew me away."

"I am a Crossfire series lover & this was right under it."

"I have to say I read and feel in love with the other popular book ( now soon to be movie). But this takes the cake."

"If you loved Fifty Shades and Bared DO NOT PASS this up!"

"If you love "Fifty" you'll love the Fixed Trilogy!!"

FIXED ON YOU (Book 1) -

Stalking and restraining orders are a thing of Alayna Wither's past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future figured out--move up at the nightclub she works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger her obsessive love disorder. A perfect plan. But what Alayna didn't figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub. He's smart, rich, and gorgeous--the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from if she wants to keep her past tendencies in check. Except, Hudson's fixed his sights on her. He wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it. Avoiding him isn't an option after he offers a business proposition she can't turn down and she's drawn further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational pull. When she learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she realizes too late that she's fallen for the worst man she could possibly get involved with. Or maybe their less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to heal each other and finally find the love their lives have been missing.

FOUND IN YOU (Book 2) -

Alayna Withers has only had one kind of relationship: the kind that makes her obsessive and stalker-crazy. Now that Hudson Pierce has let her into his heart, she's determined to break down the remaining walls between them so they can build a foundation that's based on more than just amazing sex. Except Hudson's not the only one with secrets. With their pasts pulling them into a web of unfounded mistrust, Alayna turns to the one person who knows Hudson the best--Celia, the woman he almost married. Hoping for insight from someone who understands all sides of the story, Alayna forms a bond with Celia that goes too far--revealing things about Hudson that could end their love for good. This is the first relationship where Alayna hasn't spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway...

FOREVER WITH YOU (Book 3) -

Alayna Withers relationship with Hudson Pierce has tested both her and his ability to trust. They decide that the only way they can move forward together is with open doors and transparency. It won't be easy for the scarred lovers, but they're committed to each other more now than ever. Alayna, in particular, has grown through their trials, and has emerged more confident and faithful to the man she loves. But while the pair is focused on the future, their past shows up again to threaten their fragile bond. Promises that were made are broken, and Alayna learns that Hudson still has very potent secrets--secrets that will tear them both apart. As much as she feels for him, her ability to forgive and forget is tested beyond her limits. Even though she found the only man who could fix her, a forever with Hudson seems more and more out of reach.

  HUDSON - FIXED SERIES #4



This is a full-length companion novel to the NY Times Bestselling Fixed Trilogy.

It is not meant to be read as a stand-alone.

"I can easily divide my life into two parts—before her and after."

Hudson Pierce has led a life few others could even imagine. With money and power at his fingertips, he's wanted for almost nothing. He's never experienced love, however, and he's seen few examples of it in his dysfunctional family. The ridiculous notion of romance has always intrigued him. He's studied it, controlled it, manipulated it, and has yet to understand it.

Until he meets Alayna Withers. Now, the games he's played in his quest for comprehension can finally come to an end. Or are they just beginning? Told from his point of view, Hudson fills the holes in his love story with Alayna Withers. His past and relationship with his long-time friend Celia is further revealed and light is shed on his actions during his courtship with Alayna.

Special Edition: Remembering John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette, 15 Years After Their Tragic Deaths

 photo f744302b-1386-4611-bc0b-8a9bae3408d7_zpsfd5571ed.jpg 

On July 16, 1999, John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her older sister, Lauren Bessette, died in a tragic plane crash, while traveling to Rory Kennedy's wedding.

Sadly, JFK, Jr., was piloting the plane at the time of the crash.

Its hard to believe it has been fifteen years since their death. John F. Kennedy, Jr., the son of President John Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,was one of the most photographed and sought after bachelors in the world. The man was smart. He was an attorney, entrepreneur, and publisher. He launched the magazine publication, George.

He was also simply...gorgeous. His olive skin tone, dark hair and smoldering eyes, and mouth-watering body, landed him on the cover of many magazines, including, People's Sexiest Man Alive, 1988 cover.

Photo: JFK, Jr., Jacqueline Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, and President John F. Kennedy, Sr. 


JFK. Jr., along with his sister, Caroline, were a part of America's "royal" family; the Kennedys.

JFK. Jr., was linked to many women during his bachelor days, famous and not. But the one who captured his heart, was Carolyn Bessette.

The two were married in 1996. John and Carolyn, were the IT couple, taking New York City by storm. The paparazzi followed their every move. Carolyn, was also an uber fashionista.

They were young, successful, and very much in love.

America was thrilled John-John, was happy. The talk of a dreaded "Kennedy Curse" had plagued the family for years, due to numerous tragic events that surrounded the family for decades.

But no one could have ever imagined, John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her older sister, Lauren Bessette, would all die in a plane crash.

That tragic day was July 16, 1999.

America mourned the tragic deaths of three young vibrant people who had their lives ahead of them, yet, was cut short on that solemn day.

It has been fifteen years since their passing. I know this has to be a difficult time for the families and continue to wish them strength and peace.

May John, Carolyn and Lauren, continue to rest in peace.

Tony Goldwyn Talks The Divide, The Innocence Project, Scandal and Dating Black Women (in the past) + Friendly PR Advice

Tony Goldwyn has been promoting the new drama, The Divide, like crazy over the past week or so. Tony is an Executive Producer of the show, he is not part of the cast.

The tense drama premiered last night. It is definitely a show I would recommend and look forward to seeing the mystery unfold.

Interviews include: CBS This Morning and Sway in the Morning (Very interesting interview, I must say.)








By the way...I had to comment on this. The caption for the video below, states that this was Tony Goldwyn and Jane Musky. (Jane Musky is his wife of almost 30 years and they have two daughters.)

However, it is not Tony's wife in the video, its his oldest daughter. This mistake continues to happen with paparazzi. A plethora of pictures list the woman with him as his wife, when in fact its his daughter. It is getting bizarre.

After pondering a moment, the mix up; while no excuse, is happening because Tony rarely attends functions with his wife. Hell the only time I recall seeing them together was via photos from the White House Correspondents Dinner, a couple of years ago.. I recall thinking... that was interesting...because prior to that, I honestly thought Tony was seeing someone else. (I will not comment further on that, due the respect I have for Tony and the other person in question...because there are still some off vibes I'm getting that says something is off...but, again I'm going to leave that alone.) I wish the couples all the best.

[To clarify... I thought Tony Goldwyn was SEPARATED from his wife of nearly thirty years; due to the fact that the couple seemed never to appear publicly together....for years. That is until the WH Correspondents' Dinner in 2013. It is not uncommon for married couples, famous or not; to decide to live apart...lead separate lives...while remaining "legally" married for various reasons. I thought this was his status. I suppose I was mistaken, based on the events that we (the public) are to believe.]

I will offer this friendly advice...folks are talking and folks have eyes and are putting the dots together. Whatever folks choose to do in their private lives...hey...do you. Some folks need to change tactics because its not working. I would suggest a one-time family photo op with a mainstream magazine, an event where both couples are in attendance and appear friendly with one another, and/or the newlywed couple, who celebrated their first anniversary last month, attend the Primetime Emmy Awards together. Shut the rumors down, because the talk is loud and its distracting. These folks are too talented to let this get out of hand. At some point, you MUST take action and stop the scandalous talk and swing the focus back to just the WORK!

Regardless if it is true or not... its a PR nightmare brewing, but; it doesn't have to be.

If it were just a few instances of gossipy blurbs...yeah..ignore it. However, too many folks are commenting and whispering about it to be silent or not to take action within ones own camp.

Handle it!

[Video] - Nike's RE2PECT Commercial [Derek Jeter Tribute]


No matter what hat you wear, tip it to The Captain. #RE2PECT

[Audio] - The Comcast Customer Service Call From Hell



Comcast customer, Ryan Block, who is employed at AOL and is co-founder of gdgt, attempted to disconnect his service. However he and his wife were met with an unbelievably annoying and combative customer service representative who spent nearly twenty minutes badgering the customers.

Block's wife initiated the call and became aggravated when the call went on for ten minutes. Block took over the call and it continued for an additional eight minutes. Finally the CSR disconnected the service.

After all that non-sense, the customer service rep. had the audacity to say he didn't have a confirmation number for the disconnection. He suggested the former customers wait three weeks for the last statement.

Many companies have poor customer service, and its such poetic justice that Mr. Block recorded this incident to shed light on how some employees fail to do their job accordingly.

While I'm sure Comcast expects feedback from customers cancelling their service, the CSR was told multiple times to just cancel it. He should have moved on from there. The call should have never taken more than five minutes.

Big ups to Ryan Block for having the patience to deal with that craziness.

Reportedly long-time lovebirds, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, are expecting a baby.

The 40 year-old actress is said to be seven months pregnant with her first child. This would explain the rumblings of a break-up over the last few months, after the two had not been spotted together in a while.

In fact, Apollo's sentence should have been longer!

Book of the Month: [July 2014] - THE UNWELCOMED CHILD By V.C. Andrews

I've been a fan of V.C. Andrews novels for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've read Andrews' Dollanganger series, the Casteel series, the Cutler, the Landry series and the Logan series, which were all crazy reads. But I have to say; since the passing of the popular author back in 1986, the novels that released after her death lacked the intriguing and intricate storytelling that she was known for.

[V.C. Andrews passed during the writing of the Casteel series...a ghost writer has taken over the writings since then.]

Despite that fact, the novels continue to be worth a read. The Logan series was the last series I read, a few years ago. I thought it would be interesting to see what the newer novels would offer a voracious reader like myself.

This lead me to purchase the novel, The Unwelcomed Child, which is the book of the month pick for July.

As always, happy reading!



 Synopsis:
My mother had looked into the face of evil so many times she knew what it was. It was me. I was born without a soul. . . .

Elle Edwards grew up believing that because of her mother’s sinful ways she was born without a soul; that’s why she was abandoned and left in the care of Grandmother Myra and Grandfather Prescott, who try to ensure her evil will not infect them—by raising her in a virtual prison.

Because her days are occupied with homeschooling, strict religious studies, and vigorous housekeeping in their upstate New York home, Elle knows practically nothing of the outside world, even as she emerges as a young woman with impressive artistic talent.

But when she makes a secret, forbidden connection to vacationers at the nearby lake—a handsome boy and his precocious twin sister—Elle’s world will shatter.

Will discovering the truths about her past send her future plummeting to hell?
