TOM HIDDLESTON TALKS ABOUT HOW AMAZING JURASSIC PARK IS!!

If my friends were asked to say one fact about me I think 99% of them would say "She likes Jurassic Park."

Tom Hiddleston
 Jurassic Park 1

At the moment I also like Tom Hiddleston.


So imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon this video. It's just too great for mortal words.


"Stick Richard Attenborough in it, pretend it's his park and you'll believe anything."

Anyone who loves JP is alright by me. Anyone who does a raptor impression? Well, colour me IMPRESSED.


While we're fangirling...


Not sure what's going on here but I approve. 

RDJ + Tom Hiddleston = ZOMG!

I'll write something about Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights if that's what you really want, alright??


Why Robert Downey Jr. Is Awesome #6

Marvel released a new photo on the set of Iron Man 3 last week. Now that the excitement of The Avengers has calmed a bit, this gives me something Marvel to look forward to.

Iron Man 3
NOT THE FACE.
Why the hell would you cover his face though??? Lovin' the suits behind him too.

Iron Man 3 is due out May 2013, so we've got a little wait ahead of us. But hopefully Gwyneth Paltrow will keep tweeting us pictures like the one below.

High hair. 

Wish I could get my ponytail looking that good.

Twitter Accounts I Find Most Entertaining At The Moment

twitter logo
Tweet, tweet
I love Twitter, I can literally spend hours on there (and regularly do). As much as I like talking to my friends it's such a great way to socialise and network. And also semi-stalk (in a totally non-threatening way, obviously) celebrities. It's amazing. And who doesn't love a good #hashtag??


Now some people on Twitter just don't get it; the worst offenders are accounts that are obviously ran by their publicist. The whole point of Twitter is to interact with people. Why be on it if all you are going to do is plug your latest song/ film/ eyelashes/ children's story book collection? I've put together a Top 5 of my favourite Tweeters of the moment; people who are actually interesting, well written blogs, cool actors and even a shop. You probably follow them but let me tell you why I follow them.

5. Waterstones on Oxford Street.

Okay, they can be a bit weird sometimes when they go off on one but most of their tweets always raise a smile. I thought it was a spoof account for a while but seems to be genuine (I think). Quirky, cool and not a hint of crummy offers, it's well worth a follow.

Tweet
They want to destroy the Kindle too.


4. Richard Osman, everyone's "Pointless friend".

Richard Osman is hilarious, the banter between him and Alexander Armstrong on Pointless makes the show. His tweets can sometimes be a bit random (there was a World Cup of crisps at one point- forget who won), but anyone informing me of The Chuckle Brothers being on TV is a-okay by me.

Tweet 8
"Hiya, hello."


3. Digital Spy Reality Bites Blog.

If you watch as much reality TV as me, there really is no excuse not to follow DS Reality Bites. They are great to tweet along with when any reality shows are on. Funny and with a memory like an elephant (Bring Back Gamu was a popular hash tag during the last series of The X Factor), Reality Bites is a must for fans of The Apprentice, BGT, I'm A Celeb and the like. Get involved.

Tweet 9
There are many more acts you've forgotten but DS Reality Bites hasn't.


2. The Rock, wrestler slash actor.

Honestly, you'll find it hard to find someone more inspiring in their tweets (maybe not the one below so much). There are some really motivational words going on. He also has loads of pictures (everyone loves a good Twitpic) and info on his films. And as we all know if you put The Rock in your movie franchise it automatically gets better by about 57% (or something). EXAMPLE: Fast & Furious, Journey To..., G.I Joe; maybe more...?

Tweet 5
Bazinga.


1. Tom Hiddleston, y'know Loki: god of mischief.

I'm a little bit in love with Tom Hiddleston at the moment; this is the reason I love Twitter. You follow people but it's playful interest-taking. And to be fair, if they didn't want anyone knowing anything about them, they wouldn't be on Twitter would they? That's my story anyway. With lots of interest still in The Avengers/ Avengers Assemble it's nice to see actors who are obviously incredibly popular at the moment to actually read and reply to messages from people (not from me but hey, I don't want to come across as a total mentalist.) He sends some really adorable tweets and also some cryptic ones about an up and coming project. Cute, articulate and oh-so-smart, I love looking for his tweets on my timeline. My god I might explode by the time Thor 2 comes around.

Every body's favourite god and new favourite insult.

Looking for Avengers pictures the other day and in preparation for another viewing of Avengers Assemble, I came across these on a blog called Squid Bits! It has loads of Marvel and DC superhero quirky cartoons among over cute creations.

#4 Agent Coulson with his Captain America trading cards (really sweet).

Avengers 3

#3 Bruce Banner being besties with Tony Stark (makes sense really).

avengers 2

#2 Thor telling us Loki's adopted.

Avengers

#1 Loki being totally and utterly evil. I mean, what he calls Black Widow?? He is definitely the Big Bad that The Avengers needed. 

I like it. Kneel before him.

Why Robert Downey Jr. Is Awesome #1

I love Robert Downey Jr. Sometimes I forget then I stumble upon something to remind me. What with a million Avengers premiers, interviews, photo shoots going on I thought it'd be good to just look at a few nice pictures.

That's it really.

RDJ 1
Lovely.

RDJ 3
Lucky women.
RDJ 4

RDJ 5
An even luckier women.

I've Already Bet My Cinematic Future On The Avengers

So The Avengers (or if you're from the UK, Avengers Assemble. Stupid.) hits our screens on April 26th and for me marks the start of the Blockbuster season. Our appetite has been whetted by Wrath of the Titans and Battleship but the big guns come out with Avengers Assemble. Marvel have a lot riding on this but if the trailers are anything to go by, they need not be worried. We've been waiting a little while to see the Marvel Universe collide.

I can honestly say I've not been disappointed by any of the films in the Marvel Universe they've created. Thor was a massive surprise for me, I really enjoyed it. I'm so glad they brought Loki back as the big bad. Captain American was fun too and I loved both Iron Man films; that might have a bit to do with the fact I love RDJ but they were still great. Even The Incredible Hulk had it's moments.

I've already staked my cinematic future on the awesomeness of The Avengers. I said that if it's rubbish I will not got to the cinema ever again. I'm THAT confident it'll be amazing. If not, my other half will just have to buy a smaller popcorn from now on.


That's an American TV spot but I just love the "Let's do a head count."

Loki might have an army but as Mr Stark says "We have a Hulk." And without doubt, a massive hit. Bring on April 26th.

Jordan, Cheryl and Some Football (American)

It's been an interesting week in Celebville. We've had Cheryl denying she emailed Harvey, Katie Price biting back at Peter Andre and Madonna being furious with MIA over an obscene gesture. The girls are sure as hell fighting back this week.
Katie and Peter
Are these real or waxworks? I can't tell...
While I can never say I am a fan of Katie Price I have to admit she comes in for some serious flack concerning her marriage. While Peter Andre is bathed in some kind of untouchable light, Miss Price gets many a harsh headlines (and if rumors are to be believed many coming from her ex husband and agent, ALLEGEDLY). She's been called all things from a bad mother to a loose women but it seems she has had enough this week. She released a statement condemning Peter Andre's story in Heat magazine. He painted her as some kind of obsessed, bitter women who would never be over him (a rather high opinion of yourself isn't it? Backhanded of course) and who was desperate to get back with him.
Why he did this interview doesn't really make sense, he seems to be "setting the record straight" an awful lot lately. So I have to say good on her for responding and not letting his "I can't tell you why we broke up" (don't worry, it'll be in OK! magazine soon) bollocks carry on. It surprises me how many people think Andre is blameless in HIS marriage breakdown. Yeah, I'm sure he didn't want to fame or the money. HE'S JUST A NORMAL GUY WHO LOVES HIS KIDS!! As Mugatu says "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" I hope his next interview is something as bland as "Father Loves His Kids." Don't think we've heard that recently.
I really hope this might be the moment when everyone goes, "Actually, you're both as bad as each other" and people will stop watching the next bloody chapter. Price needs to let it lie now, maybe write some more books? Oh, no she doesn't have time to write books. (Author of 4 autobiographies, 7 novels and a host of children books). I don't know why they spilt up, but I'm pretty sure literally no one cares anymore.
Another weird story doing the rounds was Cheryl Cole emailing Harvey So Solid. Apparently they were dating after Cheryl spilt with another love rat Ashley. Now magazine have claimed to have a media lawyer confirm the relationship by saying they are genuine emails. How this confirms that they were together I have no idea. Cheryl seems pretty sure this isn’t true and as Nicola Roberts tweeted maybe someone’s having Harvey on. With both seeming so sure they are right, it’ll be curious to see what Cheryl does next. I think he might have been had; maybe Cheryl’s taste in men seems a bit rubbish sometimes but I cant believe she would go out with him. It’s just like the time Gareth Gates denied sleeping with Jordan.
The big story of the week has been the Superbowl. I have literally NO IDEA who played, what they won and I barley care it’s American football. But most people seem interested in the adverts and the halftime show. We had the amazing Avengers trailer (Assemble!), the rubbish Ferris Bueller advert (no more days off now) and Madonna’s performance of her new single. A source says she furious with MIA who swore and flipped the middle finger. I highly doubt this; IF she is angry it’s probably because most post-performance stories are about MIA. I remember her swearing at Live 8 so this “OMG she swore” doesn’t wash with me.
I’m sure there will be more Price v Andre stories next week, and I don’t think the Cheryl emails will die down until we see them. Girl Power indeed.
