Mamma Mia!

The Golden Globe nominations were announced today. That movie I blogged about a long time ago, Atonement, got a heap of noms. Once there was a fluff interview with James McAvoy in my Newsweek, and it went on about how attractive he was, and I don't see his appeal. Then again, there are lots of heartthrobs and hot women who I think aren't beautiful at all. But I do have odd taste sometimes. I would post a photo, but I don't want to waste blog space with Britain's answer to Tobey Maguire.

Anyway, the first teaser for Mamma Mia! came out, and it looks cute enough. Agent99 will have to chime in here, since she's the only one to have seen the stage show. I haven't seen it [yet]. Parker, you should consider it. It has the dead Lilly from Veronica Mars (aka Karen from Mean Girls), thespian Meryl Streep, and Mr. Darcy. And lush Greek locales.

Natalee Holloway

I don't even have to watch Law & Order: SVU when I can turn to the news for just as interesting mysteries.

One case that's been of interest due to some recent developments is the case of Natalee Holloway. Agent99 and Parker, does she still get a lot of buzz in the Ham? After two years, I think it's pretty safe to say that she's no longer alive. The Dutch kid seems to be on the taciturn side, not vehemently denying his innocence. Or perhaps the Dutch are less vocal? The whole thing is a little shady. Maybe Natalee drowned or something. Who knows.
