1. Here are some photos of Meryl Streep as Julia Child in the upcoming film "Julie & Julia."
2. I like these customizable LED-style note cards:
3. Remember a couple years ago when the unimpressive-looking Paul Potts knocked everyone out of their seats on "Britain's Got Talent"? Check out this year's surprise: Susan Boyle.
Er... am confused. Do you get BGT in the States? I don't watch it, so it's rather weird to have my attention drawn to it from the other side of the Atlantic :-)

OMG, I can't wait to see that movie. I was so thrilled when we found Julia's old apartment building in Paris last year.

No, we don't have BGT here, but the video links have been circulating. (As I'm sure you're aware, we have its cousin, "American Idol," which I don't watch.)

I loved Paul Potts--what a lovely story and a wonderful voice. I love opera, so that makes it even better.

That Paul Potts video made me absolutely sob when I saw it some time ago. And this came close — what a beautiful voice. Just think of all the extremely talented people out there that don't make it into the big time because they don't have the right "look." (And then a number of them with the right "look" without the talent, like Ms. Spears...)I loved seeing the reaction of the panel and the audience, both before AND during/after!

I am SOOOOO looking forward to Julie & Julia. I have always thought the real Julie had such a clever idea.

I loved Julie & Julia!!! And I love Meryl Streep. The perfect combo!
