Could someone please explain to me why it's such a big deal? A few days ago news broke that Peter Capaldi would be replacing Matt Smith as the Doctor. The blogosphere exploded. The American scratched her head in wonder. 

So I finally hankered down to watch my first episode on a friend's couch last week.

The Carrie Diaries looks promising- if you've never watched SATC

During the final episode of Gossip Girl (I didn't care enough to watch, did you?) viewers were introduced to a young Carrie Bradshaw in a promo for The Carrie Diaries. 

Based on the Sex and the City prequel by Candace Bushnell, it stars AnnaSophia Robb as the mini fashionista in the '80s, before she became a journalist and best-selling author.

She doesn't even go here!

My family keeps hoping I'll lose my accent. Ever since I moved to England, my mom keeps gushing about how awesome it would be if I came home talking more like a Brit. My grandma keeps saying the same thing, too.

Who would do that?!

Crazy people. And Madonna.
