Revenge of the rangas

Redheads. Gingers. Rangas. Lindsay Lohan’s. Call them what you will, those feisty orange-haired ones are back!

But, in particular, Ed Sheeran is who this post is dedicated to friends! Named on my Facebook news feed (reputable source) as ‘the cutest ranga everrrr’ - it seems the world is obsessed with his music.

Seen the ‘Lego House’ music video? It’s good huh. It’s like one of those freakishly awesome things that make you go ‘whaaaaaaaaaaat’.

For those of you poor chums who have no idea WTF I’m talking about, here’s the vid:

Good old Ron Weasley confused audiences when this first came out – people thought he was Ed Sheeran. Lolwut.

Conversations by Nokia accused Sheeran’s use of the HP actor as a ploy to get the wizard fans to listen to his music. Awkward. If it was, then kudos to Ed - because it seems to have worked.

And yes! His first hit song (probably the one you associate him with) The A-Team was actually written after he met a prostitute.

Sheeran even developed a fan-base before being signed to a label. Pretty swifty move there mate.

Speaking of swifty, apparently he's been writing for T-Swift's new album. But...wait - does this mean she won't be singing songs about a breakup? Halle-freaking-lujah.

His first album sold 102,000 copies in its first week. Seems he’s 21 and unstoppable.

Look out world, this ranga is on the rise.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower: First Trailer

HP fans rejoice! Hermione is back! 

But this time our fave know-it-all is sporting a (questionable) American accent in the on-screen adaption of the 1999 novel by Stephen Chobsky in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

For those of you who have no idea what the hell I’m talking about (I know you’re reading this) here’s a brief summary:

The story follows 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman) and his year as a high-school freshman. He’s an introvert (wallflower) who becomes friends with the attractive and rebellious senior, Sam (Emma Watson) and her openly-gay stepbrother Patrick (Ezra Miller). Sam and Patrick act as guides for Charlie, introducing him to people, drugs and parties.

 

He’s an awkward teenager trying to find where he fits in society (and let’s face it, who can’t relate to that?). A teenage whiz-writer, Charlie is constantly encouraged by his English teacher Bill (Paul Rudd) to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional writer.

The (almost A-list) supporting cast also includes the druggy daughter from Parenthood Mae Whitman (Mary-Elizabeth), the redhead from Private Practice Kate Walsh and Dylan McDermott as Charlie’s parents, the main chick from Vampire Diaries Nina Dobrev (Charlie’s sister Candace) and Zane Holtz (Charlie’s brother).

It's set for release in the US on 14 September 2012, Australia has no set date yet (typical).
