House M.D. Actress, Olivia Wilde, in the Cosmopolitan Style and Beauty Issue for 2008 (P.S. I Like Books, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jaws)

Olivia Wilde (The O.C., House M.D.) is featured in a photo shoot spread for the Cosmopolitan Style and Beauty fall 2008 issue. Never going to be mistaken for anything less than stunningly beautiful to those with functional eyes, Wilde sports some key fall 2008 fashion trends (specifically of the Boho Chic or Boho Luxe variety - it’s really the same thing). I am going to show you my two favorite pictures from this photo shoot. Click on them to see larger versions. View the rest of the Olivia Wilde pictures here.

Analyzing the style tips that are given, I must point one serious flaw. No matter how cute lace-up boots are (and they look AMAZING), they’re almost never worth the annoyance they prove to be. But maybe you’re more determined than I am, and will still try them. After all, I never finished reading the Harry Potter series. But I only have one book left, and everyone already spoiled it anyway! Plus, my ‘to read’ book list is so long, I have to prioritize and make tough choices.

I actually might be embarrassed to admit that I’ve read these books (I don’t like the movies) except Sarah Michelle Gellar loves them. So if you mock me, you’re mocking her by default. And do you really, really and TRULY want to mess with Buffy? I didn’t think so.

Since I’m talking about books, I might as well keep talking about them. First off, every How I Met Your Mother fan should smile when they hear that Matt Kuhn is penning The Bro Code, a book based on the philosophies that Barney Stinson hold sacred. Neil Patrick Harris will even be recording the audio books. You can read more about that here.

I can’t recall whether or not I’ve told you guys that I read The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie (House). But I did, and it was the kind of brilliantly compelling read that sometimes I forget books can still be. I don’t mean to sound dour towards all contemporary authors, I like several.

I think I have just been exposed to too many of the (now) standard chick lit novels about British women finding love in all the most obvious places. (Should we blame Bridget Jones and her pesky diary?) As an American, I am insulted that writers and publishers would think I’d enjoy a bad book simply because it has a few ‘cheeky’ words and jargon thrown in that I’m not used to. A bad book is a bad book. I used to adhere to a very strict code that meant I would finish any and every book I started. But now I give myself the liberty to put down any book that I can tell is wasting my time.

I still seem to finish every bad movie, though. And boy are there some bad movies on late at night. Jaws is classic. But have you SEEN Jaws 4: The Revenge?!? I’m sad to report that I now have.
