Style-Spotlight

Mandy Moore spotted leaving Sant Ambroeus restaurant in fabulous Louboutin peeptoe heels! Unfortunately, we can’t see the full ensemble behind that coat but I’m guessing from the material peeping out, it’s Marni.

Michelle Rodriguez, who portrays Ana Lucia on ABC’s hit show “Lost”, opted for five days of jail time and a $500 fine rather than 240 hours of community service after pleading guilty to driving under the influence.

Rodriguez recorded a blood-alcohol level of 0.145 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08.

Rodriguez was also arrested for DUI in 2004.

Little TomKitten’s name, Suri, may not mean what everyone has been told it means, perhaps even it may not mean what Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes think it means. Who knows? Well, I have new information on origins of the name. According to BabyNames.com (please, see proof),

• In Hebrew, Suri means “Go Away” (lol). What? Not “Princess?”
• Suri’s origin is Armenian and it means “Wealthy.”
• In Sanskrit, Suri means “Mother of the Sun.” (Any Significance?)
• (And from random Persian websites:) The female Persian name for “Red Rose” is Azargoon. (Pretty!)

But, in opposition to bloggers’ cries of a scandal with Surrey, England; according to Wikipedia, Answers.com and various Internet sources, the headquarters of the Church of Scientology is in Saint Hill, England, the manor where L. Ron Hubbard lived—nearby to Surrey, but far from being Surrey.

It looks like TomKat was/were so “innocent” and ignorant in this matter, that they have been duped about this “beautiful name.” And perhaps, perhaps the media/gossip spiderwebbing frenzy on the Web has duped a lot of us, too.

Thanks, Chic Mommy for inspiring this post (in her comment here), our second on the name meanings of poor little Suri Cruise.

From the first time I saw the trailer for Kinky Boots, I recognized the African-European transvestite star from … somewhere before. I thought, “I know he played some nice person or good character.”

So recently I was inspired, sure I’d find my answer on IMDB (Internet Movie Database) .com:

Chiwetel Ejiofor played the uber bad guy in Serenity. Gee, I should have recognized him. That’s funny enough.

I scrolled down more: he was also in Love, Actually. “Oh, so that’s where I did recognize him from. There’s the nice character. His performance was too good in Serenity to notice him elsewhere (an excuse), but Love, Actually was not. Love, Actually IS, though, probably where the ‘nice’ character came from. That whole movie was very … ‘nice.’”

Anyway, my silly train of thought/Internet searching aside, he’s a great actor, and Kinky Boots should be an enjoyable movie.

I see Tom Cruise everywhere … or so it seems lately. It felt so natural, yet I know it’s wrong, that yesterday I recognized a motor vehicle as looking like … Tom Cruise. (So I’m wrong?)

Then, last night, I completely saw old Tommy’s laugh lines in another man’s smile. (Have I lost it?)

Too much Tom. From all this media frenzy and the interesting blogging, I’ve become the Tom whisperer. I see him like a dead Bruce Willis. And I just might be turning creepy like Haley Joel Osment. *Shudder*

Help!

Fergie really needs to stop using the self-tanner now.
She looks like an Oompa Loompa.

Well, the arrival of the new “TomKitten” sure has everyone excited and I actually think the name Suri is pretty. I mean at least it’s not Apple or Moses or Hazel or Phinneus or whatever.

Still, when naming a child, some research is in order. According to the press release, Suri means “princess” in Hebrew and “red rose” in Persian.

But, Suri also has many other meanings. Here are a few:

Suri is a breed of Alpaca Llama from South America.

In Hindi, Suri is a boy’s name meaning Lord Krishna.

In some Indian dialects, Suri means “pointy nose”.

And in Japanese, it can mean “pickpocket”.

There are other meanings as well and if you know of any more please let me know! But, even though TomKitten shares a name with a llama, it’s still a pretty sounding name.

Get Mischa Barton’s Chloe Ballet flats from Bergdorf Goodman for $490. My, what a bargain!

What happened to once-dreamy Mark Ruffalo?

Looks like Lindsay forgot her pants.
