Guitarist Tom Dumont of No Doubt Fame (farthest to the right) composed and recorded the music score for "The Providence Effect" according to a No Doubt e-mail.

The e-mail goes on to say, "The Providence Effect," a major new theatrical documentary will change the way America thinks about teaching our children. It captures how one school in the inner city of Chicago, Providence St. Mel, has created the method and the environment where children learn to think and to overcome social barriers, family circumstances and financial pressures to become high achieving students.

This past weekend I decided to subscribe to Vogue magazine (it's so much cheaper than buying it in the store). And September is definitely the "January of fashion". The mags are thick, heavy, and filled with all of the new trends, ideas, and creations.

TSI will be in theaters in NY on August 28th and in LA and select cities on September 11th.

so M.I.A. is supposed to perform at the upcoming Oscars, but according to E! News

the much buzzed about Bollywood movie "Slumdog Millionaire" has the answer. however you'll probably need to use more than one lifeline to find out. this movie has been getting sooo many raves. i really need to go and find out where i can see this. there's also a cool soundtrack featuring M.I.A. which you can take a listen to below.


Slumdog Millionaire

in late august Jewels, myself and her friend Tanya headed to the BK bridge to watch a free showing of the classic horror thriller starring Jack Nicholson. i know i'm posting this months later but i just wanted to let people know what cool things NYC offers. this is something i would definitely do again except with lawn chairs and some grub... and a blanket lol.

tuesday i scooped up my copy of the ltd. ed. of the SATC dvd at Target an hour after it opened--i wasn't playing lol. the dvd also has a free digital copy which is going to be great on my iPod when i have and impromptu train ride to NYC. anyway, here's a widget i received via e-mail and thought some of you gals (and guys) might enjoy.

ps i took the quiz... I'M A CARRIE!!!

last night the gals reunited for the SATC dvd release. it was held at the New York Public Library (ironic Carrie wise right?). there was one question that kept brewing in the air. that question was, "will there be a sequel?". Mario Cantone, Charlotte's gay bff, said there's a "90%" chance. that answer mixed with everyone else's Hollywood response of saying everything but "no" pretty much indicates that the foursome will be stomping the NYC streets again. the dvd comes out next tuesday.

ok so i watched the Coco Chanel movie and here are my thoughts: i truly enjoyed the love story between Coco and Boy. i enjoyed the actress, Barbora Bobulova, who played the younger aged Coco (pictured right). as for Shirley Maclaine--major WTF. she didn't even have an ounce of an accent and that turned me off dearly. they did a good job of showing who the designer was and how she obtained her name and place in fashion. but again, Maclaine's part in the movie as the older Mademoiselle Chanel was disappointing. i feel as though her face on the US posters was publicized just because of her name. Bobulova however deserves all of the applaudissements.

so i'm pretty sure that i was one of the first in the blog world to inform about the Coco Chanel movie with the post, "the Coco show". now it's official; i know in my original post it appeared that it would be a mini-series, but no it's a movie. it's set to air on the Lifetime channel this month.
