Four entries in one day?

It's called prograstination.
I am in the process of putting together a test for my community college class.
Fun, fun, fun........
This brings us to the soundtrack to the film "Juno," about a pregnant teenager who tries to find suitable yuppie parents for her unborn child.
It appears that the soundtrack to this film, which earned former stripper Diablo Cody an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay Sunday night, is the craze of the land as it is now the number-one selling record in America.
The soundtrack was partially influenced by the film's star Canadian actress Ellen Page and Jason Reitman, the director of "Juno."
Reitman told Austin Scaggs of "Rolling Stone" that he felt glam rock (ie. David Bowie) which Cody originally called for in the screenplay was inappropriate for the character of Juno:
"Juno's the most authentic character in the film," Reitman said. "Glam rock is by its own admission inauthentic."
He thus enlisted Page's advice, and she recommended the now-defunct band The Moldy Peaches.
Page let Reitman listen to the band's song "Anyone Else But You" and he was so taken in by it that he ended the film with that song, which Page and her co-star Michael Cera cover in the film.
It is the first soundtrack for a Fox film to hit numero uno since (dare we say it) "Titanic" (see earlier entry).
