Spotted: Housewife at The Booksmith

I would like to start off this post by saying that my sister is a celebrity fanatic. She loves reality TV and trashy magazines. LOVES the gossip and the drama. I’m not saying I don’t watch The Bachelorette every once and awhile or pick-up an US Weekly and peruse through the pictures of Suri Cruise, but my sister, she takes it to a whole new level.

Today for instance, we found out Jill Zarin from The Real Housewives of New York would be at the Brookline Booksmith to promote her new book Secrets of a Jewish Mother. Obviously Meg had to go. And obviously she was going to make me go with her! I am not an obsessive Real Housewives watcher myself, but do watch on occasion and of course enjoy a good celebrity sighting from time to time. The experience was actually really fun– we heard Jill, Lisa, and Gloria read from and talk about the book, Jill answered juicy questions about the show, AND we got to meet Bobby! Everybody loves Bobby!
Here are some pics from the event:
I have to admit by the end I was just as awe struck as Meg.
Well, whadya know.

Love: Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank was on Ellen this morning promoting her new movie: Amelia Earhart. SO EXCITING! LOVE Hilary Swank. She is most definitely one of my favorite actresses. On Ellen I found out that she loves Halloween and her dogs. She rescued one of her dogs, Karoo, when she was filming in South Africa. He was full of worms and had a million flees and ticks, but she adopted him despite all that and brought him home. I really admire her for doing this because I personally don’t think I would have done that. But then again, I’ve never been in South Africa and found a little pup, and have also never come across a sick dog. Anyways, love her in all the movies she’s in. She is the 3rd youngest woman to win 2 Academy Awards. She’s clearly amazing and fantastic.

This pic is from the movie Freedom Writers. It’s one of my favorite Hilary Swank movies because she plays a young teacher trying to get her students, tough “city kids”, to love writing. GREAT movie.


Here’s a pic from the new movie, Amelia Earhart. She looks JUST like the real Amelia Earhart and from what she told Ellen (she worked for 8 weeks perfecting her accent and studying her) I bet she’ll portray her perfectly. Can’t wait to see it!
