Congratulations!
Congratulations to our girl Sandra Bullock for taking home a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama for her work in The Blind Side. She gave a heartfelt acceptance speech in which she thanked her hubby Jesse James for “having her back” (he is pictured below holding the umbrella ella ella ay ay ay- I will never say that word normally again).
Will there be an Oscar nod? We’ll find out Tuesday, February 2! Hmmmm….that is Groundhog Day. Wonder if the furry guy will tell us if there are going to be 6 more weeks of washed out, super pale, flesh-tone dresses and oodles of ruffles to carry us through to the Oscars, or if we’re done with that and everyone can look alive again? We shall see. But Sandra didn’t disappoint. She rocked the purple….in the rain 
Prince would be proud!
Under Jesse
And……do you hear what I hear??
That would be wedding bells! Last week Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights and Derek Jeter of the NY Yankees announced their engagement……as did UT Longhorn quarterback Colt McCoy and his girlfriend Rachel Glandorf…..on the football field of Darrell K. Royal- Texas Memorial Stadium no less. Touchdown! Homerun! And various and sundry other sports related references that otherwise say CONGRATS to the happy, athletically inclined couples!!
Looking forward to the nuptials…..and, no, I am still not ready to talk about the game 
Till next time!
Colt & Rachel On the 50!!
Yankee Doodle
Minka- Not a stranger to the sidelines.
So I was at the Texas-Missouri game on Saturday, and up on the Godzillatron they showed Derek Jeter standing on the sidelines with his lady love Minka Kelly. Immediately the crowd started booing. I asked around and the general consensus as to why the booing is that Derek is a Yankee. Oh. Okay then. Thanks for clearing that up. Makes perfect sense…. For the record, I’m against booing. If you don’t like the person then just don’t make any noise. I wonder if Minka was taking any pointers from the UT cheerleaders for the third season of Friday Night Lights. Derek and Minka were also seen checking out a show at Momo’s.
Thank you for being a Friend.
Who knew Blanche Devereaux owned property in Austin? According to Austin Star map, Rue McClanahan the golden girl herself was spotted at an Austin title company closing on the sale of one of her local properties. It was interesting to read that Rue’s autobiography is titled ‘My First Five Husbands.’ That kind of seems like life-imitating art since Blanche was the man-crazed golden girl of the show.
Kyle Chandler who plays Coach Eric Taylor on Friday Night lights also has been in the market for a property in Austin. It would make sense to have a home here seeing as how a lot of the show is shot in and around Austin. And speaking of buying homes, Dennis Quaid has made it no secret that he plans to make Austin his permanent home in a couple of years. The veteran actor, a UT sports fan is promoting his new movie, ‘Express’ where he plays (speaking of coaches) Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder.
