This comes from the IMDB. Go Sandra Bullock!!
QUOTE
Bullock to Balloon in Size
Speed beauty Sandra Bullock is planning to pile on the pounds as she believes being stick-thin is not
natural. The pretty American actress, who infiltrated a beauty pageant as part of her role in the hit
comedy Miss Congeniality, is fed up trying to squeeze into the tiny clothes Hollywood bosses like to
see their female stars in. So she's using a break from the jet set Tinseltown life style to help her bulk
up. She says, "I'm going to shop, decorate and eat - I intend to get heavier. All clothes these days seem
designed for girls like Kate Moss. I am a normal, healthy American woman. I can't get these clothes past
mid-thigh."

At least she looks like she might be a real woman - unlike the rest of the stick insects.

I don't think she looks too thin - I've always thought she looks really healthy, and that she's having fun. Has everyone seen Two Weeks Notice yet? She looks (and is) pretty great. Plus Hugh Grant. You know what I mean.

umm sort of - I only really like him when he's being a complet bastard like in Bridget Jones' Diary other wise he wears a bit thin.

I don't get the Hugh love. I just don't. I liked him in BJD, and I loved him as Mr Ferris in Sense and Sensibility, but everything else has seemed very watery.
Still, I give much respect to the man who brought us "Fuck Fuck Fuckity Fuckity Fuck".

I think he's brilliant. Not just in Four Weddings and a Funeral, but before that in Impromptu and afterward in just about everything, most notably About A Boy and Bridget Jones.

He can be very good, I think, but he's got a tendency to just be lazy and play the same part (stuttering nerdy nice guy) over and over. In Bridget Jones, he was excellent because he unashamedly played a sexy bastard, which is probably more like what he's like in real life.
As for Bullock, though, she should most emphatically NOT try to increase her range. In fluffy romcom, she's fine, but having seen her trying, painfully, to act in Murder By Numbers, I think she can only run the gamut from A to B.

I have a soft spot for Sandra. I really liked While You Were Sleeping, even though I generally hate romantic comedies. Hugh can be funny, but Two Weeks Notice looks really unfunny from the previews.

I enjoyed Two Weeks Notice. Very predictable and both SB and HG played the same role they play in every other movie, but still an enjoyable two hours.

Dammit! Heat magazine reports that Sandra is dating the Gosling*! This is most emphatically not allowed. Not because she's older than him but because ... well, I'll think of something. But I suppose at least someone got something good out of Murder By Numbers.
*aka young Ryan Gosling, star of The Believer and the aforementioned, rubbish, Murder By Numbers, in whose honour my pal and I instituted the Gosling Scale of surprising charisma.

So, you succumebed and bought Heat this week? Or was it just the promise of Scandal that swayed it?
I have no idea who Ryan Gosling is, sorry.

Missed the train and read it in the newsagents. Yes, the one thing that consoles me is that at least The Gosling will get some exposure out of this relationship, since hardly anyone saw The Believer, in which he was fantastic, and not that many saw Murder By Numbers, in which he was alright but it was a horrible film.
I don't really understand the point of a magazine offering 'another, free magazine!' with each copy. Especially when it isn't even separate but bound with the main magazine.

To be honest, nether did I. I buy it every week though anyway.
