“The Social Network”

"The Social Network" Alice In Wonderland Jane Eyre Jesse Eisenberg Mia Wasikowska New Couples

CUTE NEW COUPLE: JESSE EISENBERG AND MIA WASIKOWSKA

Our favorite new couple of the month: Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland.) Jesse, 29, says he’s shy and has only had one serious girlfriend. Australian born Mia, 23, starred in the most recent and best version of “Jane Eyre” we’ve ever seen. The pair recently costarred in a comedy called “The Double,” which is about a man who freaks out when he encounters his own lookalike. Jesse was in awe of Mia during filming and described her as “wonderful.” Apparently these two off-beat brainy actors are now a couple – they were seen holding hands and kissing in Toronto. Nice.

FACEBOOK FOUNDER BILLIONAIRE MARK ZUCKERBERG LEADS AN UNPRETENTIOUS LIFE

“The Social Network” has created quite an image for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whether he likes it or not. We were surprised to learn that the 26 year old, who is supposedly worth SEVEN BILLION dollars, lives in this modest, 4 bedroom rental home located walking distance from Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. (Above, he’s pictured with his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan.) When the weather gets cooler, we wonder if he’ll wear socks with his flip flops like his movie character did.

"The Social Network" Jesse Jackson Movies Rooney Mara

SET ASIDE YOUR PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS AND SEE “THE SOCIAL NETWORK”

For some reason we were only mildly interested in seeing “The Social Network” and were lucky to be invited to a screening. What a surprise! This movie is a revelation and an inspiration to ALL generations -plus it emphasizes the importance of a great education. It moves along very quickly with a realistic and smart but plausible dialog, and entertaining characters. We didn’t realize that Facebook started at Harvard as an internet version of a yearbook and became an instant hit before it spread to other schools and the world. The students and characters in the movie compete to be the SMARTEST – not the best looking or the toughest. The movie is fun to watch and truly inspiring – it could happen to any of us. The Social Network has the highest movie I.Q. of the year – don’t miss it. (In photo above, Jesse Eisenberg is with Rooney Mara, who landed the lead in “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.”)
