Crushes From My Childhood and Teen Years

15. Alyssa Milano (Fear and Charmed)

I've loved her since Fear, and I was also very excited when she was cast in Charmed

14. Kelly Packard (California Dreams and Baywatch)

She played Tiffani Smith in California Dreams - one of my fave shows as a young teen! She also played April Giminski on Baywatch!

13. Janet Jackson

I really loved her after the "Again" video, but definitely loved her after the "If" video

12. Larisa Oleynik (Alex Mack and 10 Things I Hate About You)

She started out as a preteen crush on Alex Mack, and then Babysitter's Club; she became a late teen crush when she was cast in "10 Things..."

11. Amy Jo Johnson (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)

I think pretty much everyone was in love with the Pink Ranger in some type of way.

10. Mel B (Spice Girls)

I loved Mel B since the very beginning, and still am a fan to this day

9. Christina Ricci (Casper)

I was so in love with her when "Casper" was released

8. Robyn

Something about her was super hot to me as a teen; in fact, she is first girl crush I had that wasn't a secret

7. Danielle Fishel (Boy Meets World)

I think everyone loved Topanga

6. Alicia Silverstone (Clueless)

I liked her since I saw her in "Clueless" and liked her all over again when I saw "Blast From The Past"

5. Julianne Moore (The Fugitive)

I've loved her since I saw her in "The Fugitive" at 13 - enough said

4. T-Boz (TLC)

I first heard TLC when I was 12, and have loved her ever since - just something about her

3. Jessica Simpson

I am not a fan nowadays, but I used to totally be in love with her, and my teen years started that decade (and a half) long crush. The "I Think I'm In Love With You" video is still one of my favorites

2. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Saved By The Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210)

I was 9 when I first saw her on my TV; "Saved by the Bell" was my fave show, and I was instantly in Love with Kelly Kapowski. She was 15 that first season, but age was just a number to me. I was very excited when she went on to play Valerie Malone on 90210

1. Christina Aguilera

I have had a crush on her since 1992 when she was on MMC, We were the same age, she was super talented, and very cute. A few years later she returned for "Reflection" (Mulan), and then a little known song/video called "Genie in a Bottle". I've loved her for almost 30 years. She is still one of my crushes AND favorite singers.

Maps To The Stars (Official Trailer)

And you know how I feel about Julianne Moore movies! :)

Movie Review: Carrie

I wish I could say that it lives up to it's legendary predecessor, but it sadly doesn't come close. I thought the casting was okay, but Chloe Moretz was definitely the standout in this film. I thought she did a phenomenal job in the lead role. Julianne Moore did a good job as the mother, but it was weird seeing her playing such a crazy character. I thought Judy Greer did a great job as the gym teacher, Tommy Ross was very charming and likeable, and I thought the chick that played Chris (Portia Doubleday) did a great job too. The rest of the cast were just so-so in my opinion. I also thought the beginning of the movie was extremely dumb and unbelievable. I wouldn't call this movie a horror movie, but MAYBE a thriller at best. I give it 3 and a half stars for a good effort (and casting Ms. Moore!).

Carrie (Full Theatrical Trailer)

"Carrie" (remake) Casting News

I am sure that you have heard by now that they are remaking the cult classic (again), but this time the casting seemed to be a priority:

Chloe Grace Moretz is playing the title role.


Gabriella Wilde is playing Sue Snell.

Julianne Moore will be Carrie's mother.

The movie will be directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry).

I am actually looking forward to seeing this one :).

Game Change (Official Trailer)

I already posted a teaser in a previous post, but here is the trailer. The movie will be coming to HBO in March!

Game Change (Teaser)

The movie stars Ed Harris, Woody Harrelson, and Julianne Moore. It will premiere on HBO in March 2012:

Movie Review: Crazy, Stupid, Love

I will be honest; I actually went to see this movie because of Julianne Moore and Emma Stone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The cast as a whole was great and there was so much chemistry between the four main characters. This movie was also very funny, and the twist near the end was kept in the dark until it actually happened - so many of these kinds of movies are so predictable and just blah. The whole part with the babysitter and the kid just tops it all off. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.
