We were more than a little surprised to hear that Spencer Pratt is leaving The Hills to become a cyber security agent. But given how his wife, Heidi 3.0, has gone completely off the deep end since her most recent round o' surgeries and hired... [More]
Say it ain't so! Corey Haim is DEAD? To pull a phrase out of the 80's graveyard, crack is whack, people. Don't ever start. In memoriam of (our personal favorite) half of the Two Coreys, we're digging our old Tiger Beat magazines and VHS copies... [More]
Ever since the day Mad Men made its way into our hearts and onto our DVRs, we've been secretly searching for a tall dark and handsome man - clad in a pinstripe suit, smoking cigs and eager to leave our hearts and liquor cabinets empty.... [More]
Yawn. Despite the wine and conversation hearts and cards and teddies of both kinds everywhere, are you just not grooving on the upcoming holiday? We at Outblush tend to think that shopping is an end in and of itself, but if you're not feeling the... [More]

This isn't the Love Story made famous by Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw - This psychedelic-infused funk rock story is way cooler than that silly tearjerker. The Love Story Documentary ($34) exposes the behind-the-scenes lives of the five members of Love, an eclectic American rock... [More]
Jeremy Northam's singularly brilliant and swoon-able turn as Mr. Knightley in the 1996 version of Emma aside, the new Masterpiece Classic: Emma miniseries ($22, on DVD 2/9/10) might just be our personal favorite adaptation of Austen's classic novel to date. (Please note: we didn't say... [More]
Jane Campion knows what women want to watch, and Bright Star ($20) is no exception. The tale of the love story of poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne has a sweeping scope, but it's the details that make the movie shine. We'll warn you ahead... [More]
The DVD of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It, ($19, out 1/26/10) is a fast, bumpy ride, just like the roller derby world it's set in. Ellen Page's game turn as Bliss Cavendar, new recruit to the Hurl Scouts, offers laughs and a surprising amount... [More]
Excellent acting and writing gave The Hurt Locker ($19) a well-deserved nomination for Best Picture at this year's Golden Globes. The realism is devastating in this fictional piece about the current war in Iraq. Gut-wrenching performances tell an all-too accurate narrative about active duty and... [More]
30 Rock is THE best comedy show on TV right now. That is why we're making 30 Rock our Top of the Pops comedy show of 2010. Tina Fey stars as TV writer Liz Lemon, who along with a hilarious cast of characters played by... [More]

If Santa drops off an HDTV and Blu-ray player at your place in the next couple days, we urge you to pick up a copy of Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series ($39) on Blu-ray disc. Thanks to acclaimed British naturalist Sir David Attenborough, this... [More]
Mmmm. Brad Pitt with a mustache. In uniform. Could there be anything better? Nope, didn't think so. The plot of Inglourious Basterds ($16) is just a wee tad all over the freaking place, and the coterie of Pitt's basterds is only onscreen for about 45... [More]
Is there anyone on your holiday list who wouldn't love The Hangover ($10)? We think not (though you may want to skip the unrated version for great-aunt Maude). It comes out tomorrow, and if nothing else, you should pick up a copy of it for... [More]
We never thought we'd say this, given all the pictures we saw of him in history books, but Henry VIII is yummy. Or, at least, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' masterful portrayal of him in The Tudors: The Complete Third Season ($25) makes him that way. It may... [More]
Ok ok, we know, the movie's been out for a while and maybe some readers have heard enough about the Twilight Saga. We also know that there are too many outed and closeted Twihards out there to ignore, and the The Official Illustrated New Moon... [More]
Available on December 8th, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, ($20) the sixth installment in the HP movie series, is easily one of the best of the films thus far. A tightly wound plot that stays as true as possible to the book (even though,... [More]
We're of the opinion that of all of the Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown, Angels and Demons was the best of the lot, and we were the most excited to see it turned into a movie. Although certain key plot points were, ahem, changed... [More]
Are you a Monty Python fan? Are you, really? Well, then, how did they all meet? Which of the Pythons has joined the choir invisible? What was the scene the producers wanted to cut from Monty Python & the Holy Grail? Find out answers to... [More]
Whether or not you're a Twilight saga fan, it can't have escaped your notice that New Moon hits theaters tomorrow. And with it has come a veritable flood of fan merchandise, some authorized, most not. We've come across quite a lot of it lately, and... [More]
We readily admit to being obsessed with the king of eye-candy, Robert Pattinson. Billions of women around the world can't resist that hunka burnin' love, and who could blame them? Thank god Revolve Entertainment gave us Robsessed ($10), "the ultimate behind the scenes look" into... [More]
Okay, guys, while this movie actually has nothing to do with chocolate, Prachya Pinkaew's Chocolate is one seriously kick-ass martial arts film that has been making waves. An autistic girl (yes, the main character is an austistic martial arts female master) fights street gangs with... [More]
The Chocolate War ($13) was one of those books we wish we had read as a teenager but since we didn't, we're just gonna enjoy it on film instead! Lazy? No, we simply know which books to read versus which to see on screen, and... [More]
Admit it. You went to see Star Trek ($10) this summer with your guy friends, supposedly because they dragged you, but mostly because Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are deelish. And you ended up loving the movie. Well, on November 17th, the DVD comes out,... [More]
In case you haven't noticed the super-cute Google Doodles, this year is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street. For those of us who grew up with the show (which is most of us, given how long it's been on the air), Sesame Street: 40 Years... [More]

After making the rounds on the indie circuit in 2008, Food, Inc. is finally available for pre-order on DVD, ($19) available on November 3. It's a stunning, shocking film that exposes the atrocities committed in the name of fast, easy food. Trust us - we... [More]
Do I dazzle you? Ummmm...YES! Would it be childish of me to hide in your closet? Hmmmm....NO WAY! If you're as much of a Twilight fanatic as we are, you know these are the words of our heartthrob of the month....hmmm...maybe year or even lifetime!... [More]
Oh, little Falcon Heene, we're so glad to hear you're safe & sound after pretending to float away in a homemade weather balloon across part of Colorado. Your parents are... interesting, and we can see why you wanted to escape. Minor emancipation might be a... [More]
Apprehension for the new Twilight movie is mounting, and we're thrilled the New Moon Soundtrack ($10) release has been bumped up to Friday, October 16th. We're sure that Chop Shop and Atlantic Records don't realize our panties are in a twist, and we've bitten our... [More]
