Is Amy Adams the Next Julia Roberts?

New Julia?. . .

The GoldDigger knows the above headline is a cliche, but he's a blogger now so cliches are permissible. Amy Adams was first nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 2006 for playing a Southern loudmouth in "Junebug." Julia Roberts, if you remember, was first nominated in the same category for playing a Southern loudmouth in "Steel Magnolias." A year later, Roberts was nominated again for "Pretty Woman." This November, Adams stars in "Enchanted" which is like "Pretty Woman" except Adams plays a princess instead of a prostitute. OK, so it's a Disney movie, but the GoldDigger attended a screening last month, and it's the kind of mainstream flick that will crossover and make Adams into a star. She sings, she dances, she kisses McDreamy. It's an adorable movie--though not in a way that will give you a cavity. She has a shot, the GoldDigger thinks. If this prediction doesn't pan out, this message will ... OK, so we just wanted an excuse to post the "Inspector Gadget" theme.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
