Look at how grown up Abigail Breslin is now. Next time you’re surfing YouTube, search for video interviews with her so you can see why sophisticated and articulate accurately describe the budding actress.
I wish a casting director would cast her alongside Emma Stone in an upcoming production! Until then, look for this girl share the limelight with some of Hollywood’s finest looking actors in New Year’s Eve next month!
…Note that because the actors are listed in alphabetical order, her name appears fourth among her co-stars.

Arianna Huffington
Acceptance Speech
2011 Glamour’s 21st Annual Women of the Year Awards
As one of the most influential women in media, Arianna is a woman to learn from.
Listen to her eloquently speak about how failure is not the opposite of success, but rather, “failure is just a stepping stone to success.”
“Usually you go to events and they suck, but this one meant so much,” Stone told WWD. “Arianna had one of the greatest speeches about success and failure. I felt so connected to her.”
Art history aficionados will also appreciate Arianna’s comments directed at the reknowned Cindy Sherman, whose work deserves to be celebrated as well.
Other award winning women at the event were comedian Chelsea Handler and actress Lea Michele, as well as Gloria Steinem, who took home the Lifetime Achievement Award.
If you see Arianna Huffington listed under “People to Subscribe to” in your Facebook sidebar, perhaps now you’ll better understand why that’d be a good call.

Just in time for my group’s class presentation about The Good Wife, CBS is embracing social media to connect with viewers next week, including The Good Wife fans.
Each show updated fans via Facebook and Twitter today to announce their plans for everyone’s favourite actors to share their own insights via the shows’ official social media accounts beginning Sunday night.
This is hardly the first time shows’ cast and crews are live-tweeting, but usually the official TV show account retweets their commentary, whereas next week CBS is letting its stars gain control over online interactions. I’m curious to see if the stars will use more shorthand or slang than usually seen in the accounts’ messages and I’m sure it’ll depend on which actors are composing the tweets.
Viewers who watch the shows live during their scheduled timeslots (and aren’t distracted by a phone or computer) may have noticed that some shows have a watermark during the first scene featuring a hashtag, such as #HIMYM for How I Met Your Mother.
Bravo’s Lisa Hsia shared with Mashable that “getting talent actively involved with a social media strategy is essential to building greater community engagement,” so this is clearly a calculated attempt to heighten viewer engagement.
I suspect that the initiative will increase check-ins amongst GetGlue users who will be eager to join the live conversation. Personally, I suggest CBS support their initiative with more stickers for GetGlue fans as a token of appreciation.
As for The Good Wife, I’d like to see what Matt Czuchry has to say about Cary’s new promotion in his own words – not just reiterated by a reporter. That was quite a fabulously dramatic ending in last week’s episode and I’m excited to see what happens next this Sunday.
