You know how you always go to the Internet Movie Database (imdb) to see what movie Jake Gyllenhall will be in next? And then that reminds you that you haven’t seen Reese Witherspoon in a movie in a while, so you go to her page and you remember the cute dude that played her adorable husband in Sweet Home Alabama but you can’t remember his name, but you do know he reminds you of Ryan Gosling? And you go to Ryan Goslings page and you feel sad that he and Rachel McAdams are no longer dating and you go to Rachel’s page to find out in the trivia section that she is dating…you guessed it…the adorable guy from Sweet Home Alabama. And you realize that the person who came up with IMDB is a freakin’ genius!
Then you look at your watch and it’s been like an hour.
I did that the other day and found out some startling news.
Cindy Lou Who from How the Grinch Stole Christmas–the Jim Carey version
is none other than Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl!
Why this was surprising to me is a mystery. Everyone knows that child actors often go through a rebellious phase. I just find it interesting that sweet Cindy Lou Who, whom I loved in that movie with her quirky hair, beaver-esque two front teeth, adorable giggle and dogmatic love for the mean old Grinch would turn into a girl who always wears black, sings in a rock band, has a desperate need to hide her caked-on ebony eyeliner behind bangs that are always too long as she whines about being the new Queen Bee at school.
It’s nice to know that she still pays homage to her Whoville roots with that hat. But mostly I just want to feed her a sandwich.

This is why I want all boys. When they grow up to be bastards, it doesn’t sting as bad.
My favorite thing about imdb.com is the “trivia” they have for TV shows and movies. Love it!
I agree
imdb.com is so great!! 
And I love this daily updating!!
SGT Cole… Haha, so very true about the boys! Good luck with that
gasp! Lincee! I just posted about that the other day! Can you believe that sweet little girl is grown up? I was absolutely shocked!
OMG – who knew! Good find. XOXO
I love IMDB. I can’t even begin to tell you how much time I’ve lost on that site. And yes that’s exactly how it starts for me except I start with Hugh Jackman….
Wow I never would have pegged that one…sometimes its pretty easy to tell who they are but with little J I had no idea and didn’t that movie just come out like 2 years ago????

Sadly, yes it does.
LOVE imbd- use it all the time just so I don’t go crazy watching some TV show and going” where do I know that guy from???” And I really hate it when you realize some movie you think you saw 2 years ago turns out to be like 10. Time flies by too fast!!!!!
