No, that is not Hilary Duff! I have been star­ing at this ad for 30 min­utes, and I can­not find Zooey in it. Creepy.

Kate Beck­in­sale and Zooey Deschanel are in new ads for Abso­lut vodka. Below are four of the shots, all taken by pho­tog­ra­pher Ellen von Unwerth.

Bekcin­sale plays dress up in one shot as a blond and dons a gold sequined bikini thing in another. Deschanel also goes blond in a futur­is­tic scenario.

The dot com boom might have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that indus­try still doesn’t have some seri­ous money.  Pri­vately held Face­book and new­comer Twit­ter both seem like some fun places to park your­selves at a desk.  These places beat my 8 by 8 grey cube and uncom­fort­able chair.

Clearly the fact that there have been six Harry Pot­ter movies released, (two more in the mak­ing) seven books out in stores, and an upcom­ing theme park in Orlando, doesn’t quite express the extent of society’s obses­sion with the magic wiz­ardly world. Because col­lege Quid­ditch (yes, the broomstick-riding sport) is on the rise.

With over 200 col­leges express­ing their inter­est in the sport, includ­ing Prince­ton, U-Mass-Amherst and Vas­sar Col­lege, Quid­ditch is spread­ing like wild­fire. It even has its own site, (for all you nerds out there) where you can have access to the lat­est Quid­ditch news and his­tory of the sport.

Sim­i­lar to soc­cer, the play­ers try and get the ball, or Quaf­fle that is, into the oppos­ing goal, except they try and do so while rid­ing around on a broomstick…on the ground.

Sounds…er…awesome.

I don’t quite under­stand the whole thing. First, rid­ing around on broom­sticks is not only ridicu­lous, but it’s gotta be uncom­fort­able, right? And what if you get tack­led? How does a broom­stick shoved between your legs react in a sit­u­a­tion like that?

And, more impor­tantly, isn’t the whole point of Quid­ditch the fly­ing part? I mean, isn’t Col­lege Quid­ditch just soccer…with brooms?

Appar­ently I’m miss­ing some­thing, because the sport has been around in the real world for four years, and is only get­ting more and more pop­u­lar. I get the Harry Pot­ter obses­sion, but come on, peo­ple. This is just absurd.

Kate Beck­in­sale is on the cover of the upcom­ing Decem­ber issue of British Elle Mag­a­zine. The 35-year-old Eng­lish actress looks absolutely stun­ning pos­ing for the famous magazine’s pho­to­shoot. In the inter­view, Kate revealed the secrets behind her friend­ship with Vic­to­ria Beckam: “Vic­to­ria is lovely and very down-to-earth. She loves tak­ing the p*** out of her­self, which is a good thing as far as I’m con­cerned. We laugh a lot together.”
She added: “Victoria’s line of dresses is fan­tas­tic and I’m really proud of her. I’d def­i­nitely wear one of them, pro­vided I could fit my bum into it!”

On her body image: “I am a lot more body con­fi­dent now I’m in my thir­ties and am in bet­ter shape, too. I didn’t have a clue about healthy eat­ing when I was in my twen­ties – I’d eat a small break­fast and lunch and then have a baked potato for din­ner and feel really hor­ri­ble. Now my typ­i­cal daily diet is eggs or oat­meal for break­fast, a chicken or veg­etable wrap for lunch, then fish and veg­eta­bles for din­ner. But if some­one turns up with cup­cakes mid-afternoon, I’ll have one. I’m not aim­ing to be Gisele. And I’d hate to be one of those peo­ple who won’t allow them­selves a slice of birth­day cake.”

Harry Pot­ter opens today and the folks over at Indy Mogul made a short film in which one H. Pot­ter and MC Volde­mort bat­tle it out with rhymes. I love that both The Boy Who Sur­vived and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named are both hit­ting below the belt.
