Ed Bachelorette

Tonight on "The Bachelorette," will snitches get stitches for ratting out the guys with girlfriends? Probably not, since DaJillian and her Bachelors are in Whistler, British Columbia, which appears to be a beautiful ski resort. There are two solo dates and a group date for the guys this week. The first date is a solo for Michael (the ambiguously sexual break-dancer). Seriously, he's like a Ken doll. He's probably all smooth [whispers] down there.ve is gone.

Michael and Jillian go zip-lining, which looks like an absolute blast. They have fun together, but it seems more like they are really good buddies, rather than romantic interests. Jillian even likens him to a puppy. You want to play ball with a puppy, you don't want to make out with a puppy.

When they go to dinner, they get more serious talking about relationships and marriage, but I still don't see a sparkage. Michael talks about his recent break-up and how he hasn't been on a date since. Hmmm. That's a bit of a red flag; the show is "The Bachelorette," not "The Rebound."

I just cannot stop staring at his Butt Chin. It's like the mole on Fred Savage in the Austin Powers movie. BUTT CHIN, BUTT CHIN, BUTT CHIN. Jillian does eventually give him the rose, which I think is a mistake. Michael's a sweetie but he's not her guy. The group date invite arrives at the Bachelor Chateau. Wes, Robby, Kiptyn, Tanner, Ed, Jake, Reid and Mark are in for the group date. That leaves Jesse for the other solo date. The guys then chat about who might have a girlfriend. Wes eavesdrops from the balcony while Ed says he thinks someone made it up because nobody has mentioned a girlfriend. So Ed was feeling the sketchiness from some guys even without knowing about the girlfriend thing? Interesting.

On the Waterfront

"Film festival programmers are like curators in a museum," he said, which may explain why Waterfront took a leap forward. Yes, it's fun. The laid-back atmosphere is a draw, certainly. But after 11 years, its "curators" have become exceptionally good at choosing and presenting high-quality works of art. It's increasingly rare that you'll walk away from a film uttering a "D'oh!"

"People found the film very powerful and were moved by her passion for it," DePree said. "Of course, having someone of her caliber come to the fest is fantastic." The descriptions may seem wildly disparate, but "Nick" and "Fatty" both capture a similar aspect of childhood yearnings. After "Nick" screened, filmmaker David Lowery complimented Waterfront organizers for the inspired pairing. Clever, bittersweet romance "Peter and Vandy," starring Jason Ritter, who attended the festival.

I stepped into film venues five times and had five wildly different, enriching experiences. I wrapped up the festival with "St. Nick," a nearly dialogue-free story about a brother and sister, ages 11 and 9, on their own, trying to survive by squatting in an abandoned house in Texas. It was wonderfully suggestive and ambiguous, and perfectly complemented the preceding short "Dear Fatty," about a pet hamster's adventure. Sweet, whip-smart dramatic comedy "The Answer Man," featuring typically strong performances by Lauren Graham and Michigan man Jeff Daniels, of Chelsea.

Eclampsia

The singer suffers from pre-eclampsia, a common but serious complication of pregnancy, which causes dangerously high blood pressure in the mother, and is one of the leading causes of premature birth. "With Sonny it was my first experience of pregnancy and I think nature gave me some sort of protective bubble that didn't allow things to really hit me," the News Of the World quoted her as saying. Despite this traumatic experience, Ellis-Bextor wasn't worried when she fell pregnant again after doctors assured her that it was highly unlikely her pre-eclampsia would return. "Statistically, it wasn''t an issue. I was really excited and felt completely fine," she said.

"Then, at 28 weeks, I was due to do a show in Russia and needed a doctor''s note to fly. "There was part of me that knew something was up. I''d tested my blood pressure and it was quite high. Then the doctor said she had a bad feeling. "Within days of being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia again, the consultant decided they needed to get my baby out. "I didn't at any point allow myself to imagine anything bad. You have a moment where you think: ''Oh God, no!'' but you just have to Push through that. Richard was with me and at least both of us had been through it before so we knew what to expect,"

She describes Kit's birth - an emergency C-section at London''s Chelsea And Westminster Hospital on February 7 - as lovely but scary at the same time. "Whatever has happened to me, I love how my life has turned out. I''m happier, more confident and stronger now than I''ve ever been. I''ve lost a lot of insecurities and I have my boys and a man who really loves me," she added. London (ANI): British singer and songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed that her traumatic pregnancies and her baby'sillness have made her a strong person. Ellis-Bextor, 30, had suffered complications with the premature birth of her first son Sonny five years ago, and had to relive the emotional ordeal when her second baby, Kit Valentine [^], was born nine weekas early, weighing just under 3lb.
