The Somerville News reports that the lovely Cameron Diaz will visit the decidedly unlovely Nissenbaums Auto Parts between Inman and Union in Somerville to film a movie next Monday, September 21. Road closures are expected in the area, specifically Windsor Street between South Street and the Cambridge line will be closed for that day. Nissenbaums is at 480 Columbia Street, along which we would be less than desirous of walking at night.

During a conversation about the flood of movies shooting in Boston, a member of b0st0n LiveJournal linked to video of Diaz shooting The Box. The LiveJournal members also debated what a dumb title of a movie that is. Besides the obvious porn connotations, The Box is too vague. Does the box belong to anyone? Is it big? Is it small? We need an adjective here, people! The Patriot Ledger posted a YouTube video of The...
Our eyes! Our eyes! Boston usually hasn't seen this many famous people since, since, oh forget it. We're seeing a lot now. One Bostonist actually spotted Kate Hudson shooting Bachelor No. 2. The Track Girls spotted her filming a scene at Centerfolds.
Were we sore baseball losers, we might snicker about how Johnny Damon's version of a home run is about as wussy as his arm. We could hypothesize about what Yankee operative snuck into the Red Sox clubhouse to tamper with the Icy Hot Manny Ramirez and Bobby Kielty were using to prevent their backs from seizing up during play. We might even politely ask Cameron Diaz to quit jinxing our team and instead focus on...
When it comes to Oscar fashion, we prefer to watch the red carpet arrivals on mute. Bostonist doesn't care who people were wearing. Bostonist doesn't care for the backstory. We just care whether or not people look good.
Bostonist has been enjoying Chris Elliott's humor ever since our parents let us stay up late one night back in the 80s and we saw him on Letterman. Elliott has continued to appear on Dave's show for years, and he went on to star in his own sitcom with his real father, Bob Elliott, on Fox back in 1990. Starring as a 30-year-old man who works as a paperboy living with his parents, Get A...
When one finds herself stuck at her parents' house for the weekend, the suburban nightlife can leave something to be desired. So when Bostonist was in this situation last week, we did what we used to do Saturday nights in high school: we headed to the local cinemaplex, which always lacks independent films but always has a Starbucks in the lobby. Bostonist decided to take in the newest addition in the chick lit-turned-flick genre, In Her Shoes. Bostonist has been a fan of Jennifer Weiner, a Philadelphia-based author who's first book, "Good In Bed", looked at the single life of (gasp!) an overweight woman. Weiner's second book, "In Her Shoes," is now a feature-length film with Cameron Diaz and Toni Colette starring as sisters Maggie and Rose, who are complete opposites and are constantly entangled in each other's lives. Hen the two sisters have a falling out, a long lost grandmother, played by Shirley Maclaine, brings them back together. While the premise sounds pretty cheesy, the movie follows the book's format closely, so it's full of jokes and honesty, with very little cheese. Diaz is actually enjoyable to watch as she plays the not-so-nice sister and you'll find yourself pitying Colette's portrayal of the less than glamourous Rose. Now Bostonist isn't going to try to say that this is a film for both sexes. There were some men who were clearly dragged into the theater, but there are a few scenes of Diaz in her skivvys, if that helps.
Needless to say, she's like the grand dame of the chick lit genre and she's reading at the Wellesley Free Library tonight at 7PM. Hear her talk about her latest book, Little Earthquakes, and see if she'll dish on the upcoming film version of In Her Shoes, with Toni Colette and Cameron Diaz as sisters. Ask her whether it's really feasible to hide out in Princeton like you're in With Honors or something! From her website, she's as likable as her books and it should be a good time.
