Assuming she could act, how would Rhianna do as an action hero? Though come to think of it, that is not always a requirement.

Anna Sophia Robb cast as the young Carrie Bradshaw in the CW's pilot for a Sex and the City prequel.

She was in the military in Barbados, I think.

Watch Battleship and find out. I'm certainly not going to. She sounds really awkward in the trailer.

I have to present in a 2 o'clock meeting and my sister just made me cry. Why would she do that? I mean, *I* know I'm a fabulous big sister. She doesn't have to send me an email telling me she's actually been paying more attention to the stuff I do for her than I have (apparently I've given her every single music player she's ever had, and all extemporaneously).

Luckily the consultant who's also presenting at 2 is being an idiot, so that's snapping me out of being self-indulgent.

Ah, sorry that I offended/irritated you and a couple of others.

I used to say mean things about slender women all the time until someone pointed out to me that it feels just as awful for thin women to be judged by their bodies. I'm not feeling butthurt on behalf of Jolie or anything. It just pings me in that place where I'm horrifically sensitive to body comments.

ION, the boy I loved from back home, or I sometimes think I should have married and had a family with because he's an awesome guy and goddamn he's still hot...is getting divorced. I remember feeling a horrible pinch in my heart when he got married. And now, because I'm not a nice person, I feel a little bit of, "yeah, he's single :-)"

Gah. It's an awful thing to see me ugly in the mirror.

Shit, I'm still crying. Luckily the consultant is on the spot, and he's stammering like a mofo, so he's taking extra time.

Oh, god, I need to know I don't say "um" as much as this guy. Jesus. I swear, when he was presenting in a room to us he was much smoother. That's why I suggested he present today.

Kat, how terrible and scary!

She honestly looked like she was having fun

Agreed. She was *grinning* in some of the shots I saw. That's unusual for her.

Plus, she wore lipstick that wasn't bland beige.

I know! And photo shoot directors used to have to fight with her to get her to *not* wear bland beige lipstick. It was her thing.

Angelina is my total blind spot ever since Hackers. I just think she's so great.

Yet again I am Liese, except substitute Foxfire for Hackers. I've never seen Hackers! I should fix that.

I think she's another really tiny chick playing outside her weight class onscreen, but I'm not going to tell her to turn down the roles, and the world isn't going to accept her gaining much weight, so the only thing to do is have more Gina Caranos and larger women getting action roles.

Ehhh. I find her a hell of a lot more convincing than many other skinny chicks in action roles, and lore says she did a lot of her own stunts in Tomb Raider (particularly the bungee ballet and surfing the thingy to break the thingy - you know what I mean). Whether lore is right, I dunno.

Now, the last action movie I saw her in was Wanted, I think, so IDK.

I'd certainly love to see more women with obvious muscles and/or a bit of cushion get more roles, and not just action roles.

Bet she didn't take many blows or lift many weights or strike heavy strikes. I'm sure she can jump from shit to shit and dangle off buildings and twist herself into pretzels and do lots of that sorts of stuff. But she has less muscle mass than your average gymnast and there's punching that needs to be done, and punches that need to be taken. In 20 years of martial arts, not with that frame, not convincingly.

We just hired the strangest person.

The other day, she asked me what hotels I owned or something. On the one hand, I am glad that stereotype has made some headway, and on the other hand, you don't get to make racist jokes to me yet, missy.

And then today, she was asking my boss about getting married.

"You're getting married?" she asked.

"Yep," replied my boss. "In three weeks!"

"How exciting!" she said. "Is this your first time?"

...I-Is that a question people ask now? I mean what the fuck.

"Kind of an odd question," my boss said, clearly uncomfortable, "but yes."

Seriously, what the fuck kind of question is that? As my boss joked through strained teeth, "I've got a couple bad divorces behind me, thanks for bringing that up!"
