Rachel McAdams, glam and not

Rachel McAdams is an extraordinary beauty, and she sure knows how to wear a dress:

Rachel McAdams might catch a chill -- hopefully not a strong breeze

Preview for "The Time Traveler's Wife" look promising -- hope the movie turns out well. The RT reviews are decidely mixed; those who liked it, REALLY liked it. Maybe I should just read the book, which is probably superior. (Link is to a review, which has spoilers if you want to see the movie. I skimmed it. I think the way to go is read the book, based on the skim.)

"This book will make you glow as you share the love between Henry and Clare, it will make you laugh, it will leave you on the edge of your seat while Henry time travels, and it will make you cry. Once you're buried within this novel and fully immersed in their lives, you have to suffer their pain as well as celebrate their joys with Henry and Clare. This is a testament to the literary skill of Ms. Niffenegger [the author]."
Not that I'm influencing many readers with my opinion, mind you.


The thing is, when she's "normal" and not Hollywood-glamorized, she's just a pretty girl. It's when those lips and eyes get magnified that she hits the high notes.

Like out in the city with new squeeze Josh Lucas, who it's got to be obvious looks kind of like previous paramour Ryan Gosling

Here's what I mean.



Guilty pleasure: hearing Rachel (as Allie) say "You gotta be kidding me, all these years and that's what I've been missing --- let's do it again!" after surrendering to passion and Noah in The Notebook. (And I always feel so glad for Allie that it went so well the first time!)

While I'm at it: some Bar Rafaeli pictures. Couldn't resist. Lovely dairy air.
