Welcome!

Welcome to Jennifer's Random Chat Cafe where the entertainment news and personal fun facts are served fresh daily!

I wouldn't be the proper hostess if I didn't start off by introducing you to the Hollywood chatter platter that includes a healthy dose of Hollywood news mixed with some random information and revelations I've received throughout the day:

* Water for Elephants, a film based on the Sara Gruen novel by the same name, is due to hit theatres April 15th 2011. I'm so there! The film stars Robert Pattinson (swoon!) alongside oscar winners Christolph Waltz, and Reese Witherspoon as the novel's three main characters, Jacob, August, and Marlena. If you have a heart for adventure and a zeal for romantic drama, I highly suggest you read the book!

* I saw the move, Charlie St. Cloud a few weeks ago. Despite the loveliness of Zac Efron's cerrulean eyes and pefectly sculpted physique gracing the screen every five seconds, I must say the book is by far much better than the film. Critics at http://www.ew.com/ also agree.

* Breaking Dawn parts one and two, the final installments of the beloved Twilight franchise, are set to be filmed in Vancouver and Lousiana this October. I'm thinking it's time for a little roadtrip New Orleans...

And as for any personal deets or fun facts, I'll start off with a course of baby news for ya:

* My husband, Chris, and I are pregnant with our first child, Isabella Grace (Izzie). Her debut is scheduled for December 12th. Knowing our luch, the little diva could be fashionably late. No matter when she arrives, she's already the jewel of our eyes and the captor of our hearts.

* An article that I read at http://www.cnn.com/ around Mother's Day showed Isabella as being the most popular name for the year 2010. Many are attributing that to the success of the Twilight franchise where the heroine's name is Bella. With that said, I would like to make it known that my child's name is neither derived from a fantastic saga, nor is it a family name. Chris and I simply liked the name Isabella and decided nickname our daughter "Izzie".

Finally, in my professional-slash-amateur life...

* I am in the process of working on a novel that I've been writing and polishing for the past year. Many thanks to those of you who've read the rough (and I do mean ROUGH) drafts and offered your input. If and when any progress is made toward publication, I will certainly remember you and the work you put into steering me in the right direction.

This first post is simply bits of information I cared to share with anyone who cared to read it. As time passes and talent is perfected, I hope to be able to share more interesting facts and news with you all. Again, thanks for stopping by!
