The Only Way Is Essex – Lucy Vs. Lauren : Round 2

The Only Way Is Essex has become a guilty pleasure in the FemaleFirst office, and we’re so excited for the Christmas Special, that we had to take five minutes off work just to digest this latest snippet of Essex goss….

Right, so, you know how Mark Wright is constantly playing off ex-girlfriend Lauren Goodger and his new love interest Lucy Mecklenburgh? Well after their bust up at Mark & Kirk’s fight in the series finale, Lucy has gotten her claws out again all thanks to Zoo Magazine.

We, we know Mark likes Lucy, but that he’d also admit to still being in love with Lauren, and he’d secretly spend nights with his ex (according to her) and Lucy would be none the wiser, well, until she watched the following week’s episode that is…

Now that Lucy has all the essential information, she’s decided to strip off (naturally) and slag off her love rival… “Lauren doesn’t really bother me to be honest. I hate her. There’s a scoop for you!

“Everything you saw was completely genuine. I don’t think she’s a very nice person and I found her very intimidating. Maybe she’s just insecure. I think she’s like that because she knows I’m what Mark likes. I’m dark and slim, whereas she’s not dark and not, er…”

Ouch! But I’m guessing you wouldn’t like to see Lauren in just her pants right? Or would you….?

Latest Your Highness Trailer

Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world–”Your Highness.”

As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent’s fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people.

Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he’s settled for a life of wizard’s weed, hard booze and easy maidens.

But when Fabious’ bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off.

Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess.

Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman)-an elusive warrior with a dangerous agenda of her own-the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna.

If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages.

Starring: Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Zooey

Your Highness is released 24th June. Take a look at the new trailer for the movie:


New The Green Hornet Poster

Seth Rogen is back on the big screen in January as The Green Hornet looks set to be the first must see movie of 2011.

Directed by Michel Gondry the movie brings together a great cast of Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz and Oscar winner Christoph Waltz.

Britt Reid (Rogen), son and heir to Los Angeles’ largest newspaper fortune, is a rich, spoiled playboy who has been happy to maintain a direction-less existence. When his father James Reid (Tom Wilkinson) dies, Britt meets an impressive and resourceful company employee, Kato (Jay Chou).

They realize that they have the resources to do something worthwhile with their lives and finally step out of James Reid’s shadow.

Kato builds the ultimate weapon, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car with every weapon imaginable and Britt decides that in order to be heroes, they will pose as villains.

With the help of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they learn that the chief criminal in the city is named Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz).

He has united all the gangs under his power, and he quickly sees that the Green Hornet is a direct threat to the prosperous criminal underworld he controls.

Cinema-goers are set to be transported to the miniature world of Lilliput on Boxing Day, when a new big screen adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels is released.
