Ms Larue's Song of the Month - November

For the inaugural edition of Ms Laure's Song of the Month, I've chosen to debut with a song from the classic film "Funny Girl" complete with overture, in which Barbra Streisand plays a female version of Al Jolson (although she's a friendlier version!) and she sings this solo with such heart-felt emotion. It's called My Man. It's from the final scene of the film when her husband returns from jail, visits her backstage at a concert and then breaks her heart and leaves her.

I also love Billie Holiday's version of this song.

Lights, camera, action

Last week, I audtitioned for a part in a theatre company and got in. Bombshells like the limelight, even us shy kittens. When we shine brightly we can be blinding, but when we flickers to a dim glow, well... you'd probably prefer not to know about it. We are used to people paying attention to us. It's our part in life to be admired. It is a reason very few people see us "sans make-up"! It's a famous bombshell tradition to always receive a bouquet of flowers after the first and last show in a season. I look forward to it so much! Bombshells, if nobody is giving/sending you bouquets, send them to yourself. You deserve it. Courtsey, take the compliments and sign your autograph with finesse!

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

After 14 years as a couple, raising their two children 12 year old Lily-Rose and 9 year old Jack, actor Johnny Depp and his french girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have decided to go their separate ways. I thought it was so romantic for him to buy a private island for them to share together.  These things remind us that nothing lasts forever. Separation.  Was it clash of ego? Was it addiction difficulties?  Confusion of priorities?  What a crying shame and such a common thing to happen, especially for celebrities.

Ms Blunt

Emily Olivia Leah Blunt. She's a fantastic and versatile actress. She's from England and she's currently filming a movie with Matt Damon (if I had a brother, I imagine him like Matt). She started in the theatre (like me, except I'm still there) but her breakout role was in the film My Summer Or Love, though most people remember her for her role of the bitchy Emily in The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway (does Anne know she shares the same name as Shakespeares' wife?). She met her ex-boyfriened, crooner Michael Buble whilst in Melbourne and they bought a property together. Unfortunately, they are no longer an item. I just adore her lately. And this image is superb.
