I'm normally grossed out by how obsessed the public is with tots who won the pre-existence lottery and were born to super wealthy famous people. The media always wants to know what these kids are wearing and whatnot and it's so weird. That said, I found myself curious to know what Junior Blanchett is reading here. The book looks very dogeared. Whatever it is, he's totally enjoying it if he's bringing it with him to functions and what not. I even tried blowing the picture up to see what book it was but I can't figure it out. I hope it's not something predictable like Harry Potter. I hope it's like The Sound and the Fury or the complete works of Proust or something. Because if you've sprung from Cate's loins, you'd best aim high. The world is yours.

from left to right: Sarah Jessica Parker wore this black thing to the Showest awards. It's like an ice skating outfit as interpreted by an evil fairy. She was pushing Sex & The City 2 (66 days and counting). I've always loved that SJP began to ascend playing a nerd and ended up the epitome of New York chic but, that said, lately her wardrobe hasn't been working I don't think; Is it weird that I'm still bummed that Alexander Skarsgård (walking 'round West Hollywood here) didn't get the Thor role... when I don't even care about Thor? But he's Nordic and godlike and he doesn't even look silly with long hair and he's 6'4"... what more did they want? He has two movies coming up so cross your fingers that a film career does take. Meanwhile it's only 83 days until True Blood returns; Madonna (out to dinner in NYC wearing a faux alligator coat) is prepping her second feature as a director called W.E. It's the true story of King Edward VIII (as yet uncast) who abdicated his throne for a divorcee (Vera Farmiga). Abbie Cornish has also signed on in an unknown role.

<--- Neither of this week's fairy dress looks were quite right so after a brief making-it-work consultation with Tim, I've made some minor construction adjustments to the left here for both of the girlie stars. I fear that Nina, Michael and Heidi will think I went too costumey and I'll be asked to clean up my workspace.
Uh, it's going to be a long week. Bear with me.

the book is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
Yeah, i was just about to post that, though in an interview Blanchett did say that her son wanted to stage a production of Hamlet! Mr Crowe was also at that event too, or should i say Mr Hood.
P.S.Ewan McrGregor is King Edward in W.E. Here's the link: http://www.screendaily.com/news/production/ewan-mcgregor-to-play-edward-viii-in-madonnas-we/5011977.article
And Abbie Cornish plays a woman living in the present day, called Wal, who is obsessed with Wallis. So they should retitle the film to the totally original; Wal and Wallis.
too bad. SO PREDICTABLE ;)
john -- like Julie & Julia? uh oh. let's hope Cornish sells it better than Adams did.
Hey Nathaniel! Alanis was in Sex and the City! That's more important. I love Uninvited by the way.
I love that you were hoping Cate's kid was reading Proust instead. However, I have to say, the whole Proustian process comes once one becomes an adult and has excessive detailed nostalgia. I also like to poo-poo predictable reading material for children.
Hey, he's READING. Compared to some kids I know, that's enough to put him in the upper intellectual ranks.
My ex read In the Name of the Rose aged 9. We were made for each other...If I were any smaller, perhaps I could present myself and my incredible screen/stage presence to the Goddess and be adopted, I'd demand Proust and Ibsen.
I'm with Guy. I worship any kid who reads Harry Potter nowadays. Especially after I gave all seven of my HP books to my two younger cousins, who refused to read them, claiming that "seven books are too long". I shouted at them. I weep for future generations.
I love Cate Blanchett, and I love that her kid is reading (God forbid!) a book. They both seem so normal.
Why can't other celeb's kids be like this? (I'm talking to you, Suri)
It's funny you mention Alanis. I was never a big fan of her voice. The only song I liked was You Oughta Know until I heard Uninvited. Whew, though it's a Zep rip off, what a killer tune. Her singing is digestable as well :-)
