Romantic comedies are (arguably) the most formulaic of all movies, and studios use that rom-com formula to make a bunch of money with very little effort. Many fans enjoy the predictable nature of rom-coms, and will actually get upset if a film strays too far from the norm, so it’s no wonder filmmakers don’t even try to do anything different with the genre. In fact, romantic comedies are kept predictable right down to their poster layouts, of which there are around five types.

“Real Housewives of Orange County” personality Alexis Bellino, through a California corporation that lists her as president, has sold a home in San Juan Capistrano for $2.739 million.
The Spanish-inspired house, built in 1991 and since updated, sits on a cul-de-sac with a swimming pool, two spas and a waterfall feature. Dark wood beams, black-hued chandeliers and light marble floors give the roughly 6,450 square feet of interior space a contemporary vibe.
A formal dining room with a fireplace,...

Early last year, news broke that actor Joseph Fiennes would be portraying Michael Jackson in a British television dramedy called Urban Myths about three celebrities escaping from New York City during 9/11. The episode is called Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon, because it follows Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando desperately trying to escape NYC on September 11th. Airs on the BBC.
The story is, if you didn't know, a small urban legend and never happened. But I don't w...
You may recall that last year a bull fated for death in a Queens slaughterhouse made a daring escape, and ran through Jamaica till it found a patch of lawn at York College where it was captured by police. But the bull didn't go back to the slaughterhouse. Instead comedian Jon Stewart and his wife brought him to their farm in New Jersey. There they have lots of rescued animals and he could live out his life in peace.
Now the couple have been approved to build an animal sanctuary in Colts Ne...
This divorce looks like its own reality show in the making. Although Flip or Flop stars Christina and Tarek El Moussa vow that they are going to keep their HGTV show alive despite their split, their legal proceedings could take a turn for the dramatic.
Tarek has filed for divorce from his wife and co-star after seven years of marriage. According to TMZ, he wants Christina to pay him spousal support but wants the judge to deny any attempt she makes to request it from him.
“It’s civilized, or as best as it can be ...
We're still following this story to make sure there are no hoaxes involved. Actually, I don't even like Cadbury eggs but good lord I know some eggheads. I know a girl who gave birth to her son in January and her husband said "whatever you want, name it, I'll get it!" and she asked for a Cadbury egg. In January. And damn it, he found her one.
So what could improve the already beloved sweet? Oreos. The real injustice? They're only in Canada right now. Once no canadians die from the concoction they will surely sta...
Since the tragic death of her beloved husband, Renee, Celine has been doing some downsizing to her life and real estate portfolio. And as a result, this fully furnished home that is just busting with art and character can be yours for a mere -gulp- $9,3 million.
Situated in the tony Villa Montmorency, which is a prestigious neighbourhood in the 16th district, and is also gated and guarded 24 hours a day.
5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a beautiful mezzanine of all bookshelves. It's wonderful.
