Vancouver Blog Finds: Jessica Alba Kicks Off 2007

*I wasn't going to go there, posting Jessica Alba bikini shots but who am I kidding. Why not kick 2007 off with a shameless ploy at traffic and viewers by posting links to Jessica Alba in a bikini. I didn't make any resolutions for exactly this kind of thing. Anyway, i ended up doing it since Lainey just owned this issue with this quip:

"Crazy body. Not an ounce to spare, toned all over but the best part is – can you believe she says she wishes she was “thin…without curves”?
Go ahead. If you see her...slap her.

Amazing the transformative power of the Alba Demon, non? Channeling her rage through more creative outlets, managing to find a brand new way of pissing people off - only a first class Hall of Fame Bitch can pull off that kind of metamorphosis so artfully."

*And certainly that was more interesting than hearing about Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morrisette's Christmastime fun in Vancouver. Although Cupcakes are pretty cool.

*Am I the only one in the city who completely loves the fact that Globe and Mail food critic Alexandra Gill has just reviewed, er, savaged Rare for the third time since it opened. That is not to say anything about the restuarant itself, but I not-so-secretly just like the idea of this smug shit disturbing food fight. Well played Gill.

Urban Diner wonders, "Will we see a fourth bad review? I bet Rare GM/co-owner Tim Keller would wager his Toronto Maple Leaf loving ass on it. They’ve never been so busy, thanks to ever-benevolent Globe and Mail." Honestly can you imagine dining with this hot bitch. We're pro Gill now since she is clearly trying to out-Bruni, Frank Bruni. Pretty sure Urban Diner's Andrew Morrison will not be pleased with this development.

*Umbrella blogging? Seriously? Metroblogging Vancouver's Jeffrey Simpson has a sore wrist from his umbrella and needs help. "Other people though have it down. I've seen people smoking, drinking coffee and carrying a baby all while carrying umbrellas. Me I'm switching hands ever three blocks. So what's the secret? How does one carry an umbrella the Vancouver way? " Please hold the "sure its an unbrella problem buddy" jokes. Never mind.

*All I can say is totally gross. Vegenaise?

*Oh christ. The Canucks won again. "Four game win streak. Three in a row over the Flames. Four in a row over Northwest opponents." [Canucks Blog]
