Ali Larter enchanted

Today, Ali Larter is enchanted. Enchanted that she can’t even go to the gym without being tracked down by paparazzi? Probably not.

Enchanted because it’s her birthday on Saturday and her presents have already started arriving? Maybe.

Enchanted because she’s just been reading Brazilian author Paulo Coelho’s delightful book Brida, in which the eponymous heroine goes on a quest for wisdom and discovers how to pray to the moon? Maybe, although I haven’t read it, so I can’t be sure.

Or maybe it’s because the Utah Opera Ensemble is putting on a Toast to Viennesse Operetta? Yes. That’ll be it. Glad that’s cleared up.

Learn to speak Bass

If you’ve never seen Gossip Girl, you’ve missed out on the wonderful Chuck Bass, played by the surprisingly British Ed Westwick (he’s from Stevenage you know). So happily, The CW are currently running a promo in which you can ‘learn to speak Bass’ and which serves as a useful little introduction to Chuck and his ways. Go on and watch – it’s only a minute long. You might like it.
