Tights are definitely on trend this season, and no one loves them more than Sarah Jessica Parker.  The actress wore a pair of Chanel striped tights from the spring 2010 collection on The Today Show last week while doing press for Did You Hear About the Morgans.  The edgy tights balanced her girly crocheted Chanel look; a cross between bondage and sweet.  In October of 2008 Ms. Parker selected a pair of two-toned Chanel tights with a one-shoulder dress and cardigan for the Chanel Mobile Art event.  These tights looked more like a combination of biker shorts and stockings, and placed an exclamation point on a well-proportioned outfit.  Both looks were fun, daring and unconventional.  You should expect to see these pattern and textured tights everywhere this season and the next.

Nine opens in theaters on Friday, December 18th in limited release, and many are eagerly awaiting the musical.  The film opens in full release on December 25th.  It is filled with many stars like Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, and Fergie.  That’s six good reasons to go out and see it.  If you need additional reasons, the costumes, singing and dancing should suffice.  Fergie is in her element, and we’ve already seen impressive clips of Kate Hudson’s singing.  The musical has so much energy and looks like an incredible amount of fun to watch.  Even the rehearsal will have you tapping your feet.  The movie has already been nominated for five Golden Globes awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Penelope Cruz.  So we’ve added Nine to our Rollcall list this week.  Maybe it will make your list of movies to see as well.

Fashion designer turned movie director, Tom Ford, admitted today that he might have bluntly called Colin Firth fat.  The admission happened on Good Morning America.  Colin, on the other hand, recalls a more finessed version of the incident resulting in the same message.  The actor stars alongside Julianne Moore in A Single Man directed by Tom Ford.  It doesn’t matter whose story you choose to believe because both accounts are just as funny.  Watch each video below and pick a side.

Colin Firth’s version:

Today is the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and it opens nation wide tomorrow, November 20th.  To my surprise, the  Twilight bug has finally bitten me, at least I think it was a bug.  Having already been through the vampire phase several times over in the 1990′s, I was very resistant to a new crop blood suckers.  While many were waxing poetically about the great characters from Twilight and New Moon, I often looked on with a glazed look in my eyes.  That was until I caught a recent interview with one of the stars, Robert Pattinson, and was left with a healthy respect for his, um, talent.  Pattinson is very engaging and extremely likeable, yup, all the right traits to be successful in the vampire business.  He plays Edward Cullen alongside Kristen Stewart, as Bella Swan and their chemistry is off the charts.  No wonder they are constantly plagued by rumors of an off screen romance.  Legend has it that our fascination with vampires is sexual in nature; I’ve never really bought into this theory, until recently.  Now the sceptic walks away a believer, and admittedly, with a bit of a crush.  New Moon makes our Rollcall list this week.  The first movie grossed $383 million worldwide, and this one will rival its predecessor’s box office receipts.  It’s is definitely on my must see list, even if I’m unwilling to brave the crowd of teenage fans this weekend.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is the only movie I’ve wanted to see this summer, but that’s just the romantic in me.  Give me a love story with passion and soul-mates, and you can count me in.  I love Rachel McAdams from The Notebook and Eric Bana from Troy.  The two together bring serious heat to the big screen.  It opens on Friday, August 14^th and I think I’ll be the first on line for tickets.  Bana plays a time traveler who enters and exits the couple’s world involuntarily.  The time they do get to spend together is well worth the cost of admission.  See you next Friday, I’ll bring the popcorn.
