POP goes my heart (and look inside POP!)

This is hilarious, and I have Harlan Coben (who posted this on his MySpace page) to thank for this: Ever see that Hugh Grant movie, "Music and Lyrics?"? Ever live through the 80's? I love Hugh Grant, I loved the 80's, and you might have noticed that I like the word "POP." Couldn't resist sharing this.

Thanks for the title brainstorming help, my darlings. I had a blast, and you made me laugh, and I sent a little list off to my editor this morning incorporating a lot of your words and a few of your suggestions. Status report? We (my editor and I) are still mulling titles. LOL. I tell you, sometimes coming up with a title takes almost as long as writing a book. (well, OK: that's a major exaggeration. But still.)

While we wait for the title, enjoy a little POP music. LOL. Happy Monday!!

Adding something new to this post at 9:45: ust for laughs, I'm adding something new to this post: a new widget!! If you're feeling nostalgic for the POP countdown widget, or just jonesing for a new toy, check this out. HarperCollins just provided this new "Browse Inside" widget, and with it you can browse POP in its entirety, and grab the code put it on your blogs and website, or pass it around to your friends via email or what have you. I'm hoping it goes viral, in the nicest possible way. LOL. So help yourselves!! Help me, I should say. LOL. Spread the word, if the spirit moves you.

I'm very demanding lately, aren't I?? :)

Hope that you're able to glean a title from all those suggestions. Some of the ideas were outstanding, and I truly envy all those creative people that seem to be able to come up with titles... sure not something that I'd want to have to do... I like to read the finished product!

I laughed watching the video ~ boy did that take me back a bit! Fun, a lot of fun, that's for sure.

This was a total back-to-the-future moment. "Doc! Buehler!"

ROFL!!! Thanks for that chuckle Julie! I love the 803s and that video was great, it incorporated all these bits from popular videos of 80's groups. Too funny! :))

I'll definitely keep you guys posted on the title search. We did come up with some great ideas!! So far no bites from the editors on the ones we came up with, though. LOL. Can you imagine having to do this for...5, 6 books a month, all year like Avon does? LOL. It's a tough job.

I know -- that video is silly! It cracked me up. Loved watching Hugh Grant act silly, too. Ah, nostalgia. It got me wanting to check out A ha and Howard Jones videos. Whatever happened to HOward Jones??

Ahhh...ole HoJo, loved him! Was wondering the same thing just the other day. Julie, you are a girl after my own heart! ;) My boyfriend detests Hugh Grant and refuses to see any movie that he is in. So he won't watch one of my faves, "Love Actually" just because it has you-know-who. I even told him that he plays a nice guy for a change but to no avail! LOL

Charlene -- that's so funny! I know a lot of guys who feel that way about Hugh Grant. :) I loved the movie Love Actually -- it's one of my favorites. So many wonderful vignettes on the various stages and types of love -- all so brilliantly acted. The one with Emma Thompson and Alak Rickman -- fabulous. Have you seen About a Boy?? Brilliant! At least Hugh Grant's a sympathetic screwup in that! And it has Toni Colette. She's great in everything.

[Charlene]

Now I gotta watch Love Actually again this weekend, and it's all your fault Julie!!! *LOL* Anyone who hasn't seen this movie, it is an excellent chick flick, light, serious and touching moments combined. Plus with Alan Rickman, Colin Firth and Hugh...well what more could we women ask for! Haven't seen About A Boy but it is on my list of movies to watch as I do like Hugh Grant. Watching Leo this weekend in Blood Diamond and catching up on the backlog of DVDs! :) Hope you have a nice weekend Julie! *waves*
