‘27 Dresses’ Stars HeiglDecember 30th, 2007 in Comedy, Movie News, Movies, The Movie Biz |
Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, “The Devil Wears Prada,” brings “27 Dresses.” The film stars Katherine Heigl (”Grey’s Anatomy”) as Jane, a selfless bridesmaid, who is never the bride. She has a secret crush on her boss, Ed Burns, but her younger sister captures his heart. Jane needs to rethink her life. Of course, there is another guy, James Mardsen, as a possible rebound guy.
Anne Fletcher, choreographer by trade, directs the film which is pretty predictable from what I can tell. The movie opens January 11, 2008. A sneak peek happened last Thursday with packed theaters, and all indicators sound like a hit. But, we shall see. In the meantime, check out “27 Dresses” web site and see for yourself.

Happy Valentine’s Day without a Prince?
Featured on The TODAY SHOW in the segment, “Raising Confident Girls”
New Release, Princess Bubble, Strikes Chord with America’s 51% SINGLE WOMEN WHO, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY, OUTNUMBER MARRIED WOMEN
ATLANTA, October 16, 2007—This Valentine’s Day almost 90 million Americans will celebrate the romantic holiday single. Two successful prince-less princesses show the world that being a stuffy Old Maid does not have to be “in the cards” for single woman today! Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb offer girls of all ages updated version of the traditional fairy tale. No longer a “Damsel in Distress,” this princess travels the world, helps others, and finds “happily ever after” even before she finds her Prince!
With wisdom gleaned from their careers as single, globe-trotting flight attendants, first-time authors Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb have crafted a modern-day book that celebrates singleness. A contemporary fairy tale for all ages, Princess Bubble was written to reduce the overwhelming sense of failure, self-doubt, and despair that some single women face.
“Knowing how low self-esteem and depression plague many single females, we wanted to spread the message that ‘happily ever after’ can occur even before Prince Charming arrives. . . or even if he never does,” said Webb.
“We’re definitely not anti-Prince,” said Johnston (whose college nickname was “Bubbles”). “We’re not anti-family or anti-marriage, if anything we’re anti-‘Damsel in Distress.’ Our message—the single life can also be a fairy tale. The End!”
Princess Bubble stars a princess who is confused by the traditional fairy tale messages that say she must find her “prince” before she can live “happily ever after.” Princess Bubble dons her “thinking crown” to research traditional fairy tales, interviews married girlfriends, and even takes counsel from her mother, who advises her to sign up at FindYourPrince.com. With a little help from her fairy godmother (this is still a fairy tale after all), Ms. Bubble discovers that “living happily ever after” is not about finding a prince. “True happiness,” the book reveals, “is found by loving God, being kind to others, and being comfortable with who you are already!”
