FAREWELL SWEET FRIENDS

What could we possibly say about "The Breakup" that hasn't already been said, sound byted, photographed, and surmised? And how about the allegedly secret "InTouch" email that is circulating in too many inboxes to possibly be reliable, which alludes to Jen's partying "Pepsi" habit? Couples uncouple constantly and when they do it's always a sad, trying time whether or not they are movie stars. Unfortunately the rest of us average Joes and Josies don't have publicists to submit graciously worded exit statements but then we also don't have cameras in our face hoping sickly to glimpse our poignant, unscripted grief. In honor of the former J&B Team we will say no more.

THE WEDDING THAT WON'T DIE

"Swagaholic" Star Reynolds will be cold dissin' and dishing on the red carpet this Sunday at the Golden Globes and Angelenos are being reminded to watch. While quietly shuttling between meetings sipping their Ice Blendeds from the Coffee Bean, L.A. drivers have been greeted by a jarring E! sponsored, Star-splashed billboard on Franklin and Highland that features the incredible shrinking lawyer/professional kibitzer as saying "No wedding talk--I promise." Suddenly, Joan and Melissa's pre-show on the TV Guide Channel is looking ever more attractive.

ENCORE! SF Ballet's Opening Night Gala

On January 26th, celebrate San Francisco Ballet's 72nd repertory season at the premier social event of the year.
