The essential Singleton guide to surviving men
I know Bridget Jones. By now, I'm sure most people know her. After all, what better way to get acquainted with someone than reading her diary. But you know what? I now know Bridget better than all of you. And I have proof.
My first break
A career in films was the farthest thing from Shilpa Shetty's mind when she got her first movie offer. "I was just about 17, and busy enjoying college life," she remembers. All along, the long-legged beauty had planned on becoming a businesswoman. "My father had his own business and I was keen on working with him," she says. And although she had already got her portfolio made, she insists that she didn't have anything definite in mind.
Spot Light
For some reason, director Frank Coraci has set the The Wedding Singer bang in the middle of the `80s which means bad haircuts, worse clothes and great/horrific music -- whichever way you heard it. And since this was when Madonna's Material Girl was the mantra, the central characters -- Julia Sullivan (Drew Barrymore) with her dewy five-year-old grin, and Robbie Heart (Adam Sandler), the wedding singer who is nice to old ladies and ugly fat kids -- are horribly out of place.
