A Critical Summary
Natalie Portman wants to be the best ballet dancer in the whole world so her ballet boss who is French and has massive bags under his eyes tells her she can be the Queen Swan because she looks heaps like a real swan or something.

I can't wait to get home
from work so I can watch Ricky Gervais’ opening monologue from the Golden Globes.
In perhaps one of his edgiest remarks, he made a not-so-subtle reference to Hollywood actors John Travolta and Tom Cruise.
“Also not nominated, I Love You Phillip Morris, Jim Carrey and Ewan Macgregor, two heterosexual actors, pretending to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous...
