Postcards from Jen's Hollywood Connections

Hi, love and peace,
Just had a New Orleans screening of the Smurfs and it was terrific in 3 D. The film opens Friday, July 29th. Go see it with your family! Speaking of kin, I've  added a few celebrity photos and their kids. These are fun pictures and you need to figure out who is who. Clues include  first names in order; Ali, Britney, Niki and Vicki.
  I hope you are staying cool… we’re having a heat wave! We want to share with you a fun exclusive from Celebrity Baby Scoop highlighting celebrity mom and dad Twitter moments. After all, Twitter is all the rage in Hollywood!

As I pack my St. Bernard News Press Pass for the Disney Anaheim  D 23 Expo, I might add that the studio will hold a live auction. The auction takes place on Stage 23 and you can bid on unique experiences, tours, artwork, props, and one-of-a-kind Disney 

treasures.

HERE IS ONE OF THE AUCTION PIECES. NEED PLENTY OF DREAMS AND $$$$$$$$$$!

Ali Landry sending a shout out to her friend "@DENISE_RICHARDS what a fun day with our girls! Estela and I so enjoyed ourselves!"

Britney Spears talking about a day with her boys with"Had a great time at the boys' tee ball game

 Jennifer Lopez.

Victoria Beckham taking to Twitter four days after Harper's birth, writing "Baby Harper is the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen. I have fallen in love all over again! We all feel so blessed, and the boys love their baby sister so much."

And finally, I'd like to thank Warner Bros. video for sharing the news that the original Smurf Cartoons are available on DVD. Look for The Smurfs: A Magical Smurf Adventure.

Get your smurf on with this 2-disc set of 10 Smurftacular Episodes.

D 23 Expo outline

Keeping a smile on your face isn't easy- but it helps us get through the day. Be courteous and forgive all the people (even professionals like doctors, lawyers, etc) who don't abide by decent behavior.  I'm soon headed to Anaheim to hop nob with the Disney staff who will present talent as well as reveal the latest projects in the Parks. Nostalgia will also be presented in exhibits from the prop room plus 2011 Disney legends Ceremonies, a trivia tournament and a special screening of The Lion King in 3 D, tours, artwork, and one-of-a kind Disney treasures on the auction block.

Heat Wave and movies!

The Louisiana heat is a scorcher and bad enough my family had to survive Katrina- we went from a Gonzales. La Expo Shelter to a trailer. How we survived there for 3 1/2 years with formaldehyde , I'll never know. New movie gossip at" http://www.shopowerreviews.com."    Harry Potter- soon to be reviewed next Tuesday night.  More Hollywood gossip to come with interviews with Annette Funicello, Jack Wrangler, Don Jeanes and more. Returning to D 23 Expo in August and I'll bring you the latest gossip from the Mouse Factory. I'll soon be launching a new art exhibit soon too!= Getting back to my old roots again. Signing off, KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid.~~~~~~~

A hot Sunday in da' parish - landscaping done and gave the lawn a good drink of water. Tomorrow I start adding an update to sho buz and getting ready for Brad Pitt's new move (Tree Of Life)- it screens Tuesday 10AM. I looked at Rubber on Blu-ray and it truly is a crazy horror film that adds "There is no reason," - thus the tire has a killing life of it's own! Weird! Need to start a tell-all novel about creepy and mysterious things going on in Louisiana after Katrina. You'd be surprised at all the medical info that get's stuffed and hidden in hospital files. On the bright side, movies are still being made here and the hit show "Treme" is a positive thing. Jane Eyre is set to release on DVD and Blu-ray on August 16th and I might be interviewing the film’s young director, Cary Joji Fukunaga. Fukunaga also directed Sin Nombre and is teaming up again with Focus Features to direct and co-write No Blood, No Guts, No Glory.
