Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans talk about G.I Joe from their childhood and how they really want to play villains.
But er less of the dissing Action Man if you don’t mind he’s a bit of a British national treasure show some manners!
Hello everyone,
As some of you may know, I’m the music and travel writer here at FemaleFirst, but as well as keeping you entertained with mY wonderful stories, I can’t seem to put a huge smile on my own face, as I am sick of tired of feeling ‘fat.
Now I know that at 11 stone 12 I shouldn’t feel ‘obese, because I’m not… but the problem is, I have quite big *ahem* boobs, and I’ve always blamed them for hoiking up my weight on the bathroom scales.
So, I’m a size 14, which I believe is about average for most women in the UK, but in the mirror, I still see that ‘dancer’s body’ I had before I went to University and when I just have a bedroom lamp on and look in the mirror at myself in my underwear, I think ‘ah it could be worse.’
However, a few weeks ago I went to Download Festival to cover it for the site, and whilst I was interviewing one of the bands (no naming and shaming here) we got onto the subject of weight, and I was saying how I wanted to lose a bit… and the guy said to me; “You’re not fat, you’re just big boned.â€Â
Well I wanted to die… because hearing that is almost like when you’re fella says; “it’s not you it’s me.†I wanted to run away and bawl my eyes out whilst eating a fudge cake.
That’s my problem you see, I’m a comfort eater, and I eat when I’m bored too, and I also eat crap when I’m complacent with my life… oh and I can’t cook. Okay, so I know not being able to cook is a bit of a shoddy excuse… but my weight has gradually crept up from around 9 stone to 12 stone 4lbs whilst I was doing my degree, and when I broke up with my boyfriend last year I seemed to balloon even more.
Whilst I’ve been going to my local gym since January, I’ve only managed to go from that 12 st 4lbs to 11st 12lbs, in the seven months I’ve been going… that’s probably due to the fact that my housemate and I regularly stop off for a pub tea on the way home. Oops!
But now I’ve finally realised it’s time to get off my arse and do something about it… I can’t cry in the mirror if I’m not working at losing weight can I? I’ve not being doing myself any favours over the past four years, and as I result I hate the way I look, I hate looking at magazines and wondering if I cold ever wear a dress like that, or be snapped in a bikini… and what’s more, when they print pictures of ‘celebs looking ‘fat’’ I just liken their bodies to mine and think their writers are calling me fat too.
It’s a vicious circle, but one I’m determined to break, so, as of today, Wednesday 5th August, I’m joining Slimming World. I’ve heard great things about it, and you can still eat and lose weight… which seems a good idea to me! My first class is in Runcorn tonight with a lady called Julie… so wish me luck and I’ll keep you updated.

Matt Damon is one of cinema’s biggest names and for his new movie he re-teams with filmmaker Steven Soderbergh for The Informant.
2009 has so far been a quiet year for the actor working on Green Zone and Invictus, both due for release over the next few months.
What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre (Matt Damon) suddenly turns whistleblower.
Even as he exposes his company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion.
But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent.
The Informant is released 20th November take a look at the trailer:
When will those pesky Big Brother housemates learn not to cross ‘Biggie?’
Okay, so we know not all of the housemates have been misbehaving recently, but now that Siavash has found his cool card once again, he’s only gone and pissed everyone off by getting them ALL put up for eviction!
Yep, the pair once again broke ‘fundamental rules of Big Brother’ after Siavash refused to nominate whilst potty mouth Marcus urged others to nominate him and as Big Brother started to tire of their behaviour, they decided to punish them by automatically putting everyone up. Ouch!
Although we should be mad at Siavash, I can’t help but love him for being so naughty and even more so because Miss goodie two shoes Lisa is going to hit the roof… especially if she get’s the boot this week!
Although Siavash does feel a little guilty, I can’t help but wonder why – on last nights show – Marcus was so happy and is already saying how much he wants Lisa to get the boot as well as that he wanted to go this week, and if everyone’s up that he hasn’t got a chance of going…. Erm, Hello? You’ve probably got a pretty good chance of going Marcus!
But anyway, don’t let me influence you into getting rid of the self-assured pervy old hair ball… who do you want to get to boot?

Oh dear, it seems as though Katy Perry has annoyed yet another one of her fellow musicians after an American singer/songwriter has gone on a foul-mouthed rant over the star’s hit single, I Kissed A Girl. Not just a small rant either… she’s branded Perry a; ““f***ing little sl*t” Ouch!
Could Chris Brown be the new Michael Jackson? Well after cracking out the moonwalk during a stint on stage with Lil Wayne on Sunday it seems the rapper is convinced! Not quite sure we should be likening Brown, to the King Of Pop just yet though… Michael might be accused of a lot of things, but hitting women was never one of them…
In the latest Peter Andre & Katie Price drama, Peter Andre has said that his ex, Katie Price is starting to look a bit desperate in the media now… wow Pete, has it really taken you this long to realise?
Sienna Miller has revealed that she wants be Johnny Depp as she believes that male Hollywood stars are more successful at keeping their private lives exactly that. Erm just a little point you did parade around with a married man that is going to pick up tabloid headlines just a bit. But the thing about Depp, I hope you are taking notes love, he is known for what he does on the big screen you might want to try it.
Finally, if you’re a fan of Big Brother you can find all the gossip from the housemates locked inside Big Brother 10 on FemaleFirst – and trust me, we tell you how it really is.
