from top to rt: Jeff Belonger, Soc. Media Mgr, Gabrielle & Thaddeus of PhillyPhoodie, Kory Chester Contrib for PhillyGrub, me, and Jamie of MidtownLunch:Philly Got an invite for a special food bloggers dinner at IMLI INDIAN KITCHEN (769 East Passyunk Ave. Near 6th & Catherine, where Ulivo used to be) from Jeff Belonger of My Philly Alive.

Connor’s Corner: HOW TO BE SINGLE
IT’S MUCH BETTER THAN YOU’D THINK HOW TO BE SINGLE By Tinsel & Tine Contributor Connor Bartholomew When I saw the first trailer for Christian Ditter’s How to Be Single I was skeptical. As someone who is single in her twenties, I’ve pretty much heard it all: the You Just Haven’t Met The Right Persons, the pitying glances, the acknowledging nods, the I’m Sure You’ll Meet Someone Soons, the Can I Make You An Online Dating Accounts.

A Highlight of the British Dramatic Film – 45 Years By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay I wanna change my prediction on my Oscar ballot. At the end of my 73rd Golden Globes post, I included links to ballots for the upcoming Oscars – one based on Who I Want to Win the Academy Award and one based on Who I Think Will Win. I chose Brie Larson (Room) for who I’d like to win and Cate Blanchett (Carol) for who I think will win, but I want to change that to Charlotte Rampling for Kate Mercer in 45 YEARS.
