on the racks: emmy rossum tells dirty jokes for esquire

Tweet I know Emmy Rossum from the Disney Channel movie "Genius." You probably remember her from "The Day After Tomorrow." Or her new show Shameless? Or... for just being damn cute.

Which is what she's doing in Esquire this month.

I guess at this point it's right to call her "hott," not cute... But it's her personality that girls can like just as much as guys.

She told a "dirty" joke for the mag to show it-



Okay, first listen I was like o_O... but when I retold the joke to others, they died laughing, so it has to be funny, right? It's just the first listen that's a little awkward.

Either way, I like her. And she said her new show is bringing out her "ballsier side," and since that seems like a girl I might like to call my BFF, maybe I'll check it out.

Once again, you're welcome boys.

on the racks: christina and blake take the covers

This month seems to be a fabulous one for magazine covers! Every one that I've seen has been totally share-worthy.

The latest: Christina Aguilera on Marie Claire and Blake Lively on Esquire!

I'm a huge fan of Blake Lively and I think Christina is finally looking good again! Thank goodness!

Both are working on movies with famous co-stars [Christina with Cher and Blake with Ben Affleck] and both are revamping their image, but as to what they each have to say:

“I have a sex scene in this film and that’s never comfortable, You think, ‘Oh, this is going to be so awkward.’ But this scene isn’t supposed to be a steamy one – it’s sort of tragic. … I’m pretty much crying in it.”
-Blake Lively about her role in "The Town," which portrays her as a woman going through sexual assault

“I didn’t want to do something that was easy for me. I’ve actually had my character rewritten to be tougher and a little more spunky.”
-Christina Aguilera about her role in "Burlesque"

I'm totally rooting for both of them! I have a good feeling about them both! Then again, "The Town" is directer by Ben Affleck, and he seems to be the kiss of death in the past 10 years.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Sidenote: Ben Affleck totally has great things to say about Blake:

"She came in, did one reading, and just crushed it. Like, Boston accent — really good. I was sort of stunned. I said, ‘Jeez, you know, that was really f—ing good. Who are you?’ She didn’t mention that she was on a television show.”
