What’s that I hear going bump in the night?
Could it be all the goodwill surrounding Beyonce’s pregnancy?
The headline of this year’s MTV Video Music Awards was the announcement of the impending arrival of the superstar coupling of Beyonce and Jay-Z. Her red carpet gown and the teeny tiny tuxedo she later wore on stage were both tailored to put her baby bump on full display.
Cue the oohs and ahhs.
But photos taken only one week prior to the event reveal a very different mother-to-be, her flat stomach barely showing at all…as you might expect from someone who’s only two months along.
So why would Beyonce fake it?
Some say she wanted to announce the pregnancy at the awards show, and a cute, rounded bump garners more attention than no tummy at all. Poor baby — it isn’t even born yet, and Beyonce is already using implants to make it appear more ‘perfect.’
Did she forget the paparazzi follows her and photographs her 24/7? Someone was bound to notice her stomach’s way-too-sudden eruption.
Perhaps I bought into her PR machine, but I thought Beyonce was more genuine than that.
Guess I expected better.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
And what of potential litigants?
Well, if you are the brilliant Craig Ferguson, you invite them on The Late Late Show and win over the judge, the jury, the audience, and the entire country of France all in one night.
Bien joué, Mr. Ferguson, bien joué. (That means “well played.”)
Craig didn’t stop there either — no indeed! Craig let that French impostor help him and Geoff Peterson, his robot skeleton, answer emails and tweets. Craig even gave Arthur tips on how to incorporate a similar segment into his French program. (Apparently he hasn’t copied that part yet.)
Arthur returned yet again to close the show in one of Craig’s signature musical numbers. This one memorably spoofed Casablanca.
Oh Craig…you have far surpassed that tiny title. Your hilarity and humanity have reached international proportions.

A+ I
The media has been talking so much lately about the movies that are really bad (Hot Pursuit, Paul Blart 2) that we haven’t heard nearly enough about the great ones.
Like Ex Machina.
But it’s so much more. And I challenge any of you who may have dismissed its AI premise to give it another look.
For one, the performances are stellar. Alicia Vikander as the robot Ava is stunning. You can completely understand why Caleb, played by the equally compelling Domhnall Gleeson, is so taken with her, because you are, too. (And does anyone remember that the two were also romantically paired in the wonderful Anna Karenina? #PointsMe)
Oscar Isaac is also the most wonderful kinda crazy as Ava’s inventor. “Isn’t it strange,” Ava asks him, “to create something that hates you?”
The cat and mouse game in this movie is wonderful. The film is filled with monsters, and it won’t be too long before you don’t know which is which. You’ll leave the theater talking about this film long afterwards.
For the right reasons.
