Alright I’m done for the week, I’m exhausted after getting up so early to watch the Royal Wedding… That was obviously a joke. But I thought I’d leave you all with some fancy pictures of Rihanna dropping some awesome cleavage. I’m not pleased with the angle we’ve got, there should be a camera from above, but I guess I’ll have to make due with what I’ve got. I’d be up for a motorboat if that was on the table. Let me know.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are ready to do this thing. With just one week to go until next Friday’s royal wedding, the chaos is off the hook, but the couple remains clear-eyed and focused on what really counts. So says Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, who will conduct the marriage ceremony of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey. “I’ve been very struck by the way in which William and Catherine have approached this great event,” the archbishop said , praising the royal couple. “They’ve thought through what they want for each other. They’ve had a very simple, very direct picture of what really matters about this event.” William and Kate realize that their vows carry unusual weight. They’re making a sacred promise to each other, and a royal pledge to the public. Even that doesn’t intimidate them, says Dr. Williams. “I think that they have a clear sense of what they believe they’re responsible to,” says the archbishop. “They’re responsible to the whole society.” “They’re responsible to God for their relationship. I think it’s impressive that they’ve had that simplicity about it, they’ve known what matters, what’s at the heart of all this, because I think they are deeply unpretentious people.” The archbishop calls on everyone watching the Royal Wedding to truly engage with the event as these two 29-year-olds enter holy matrimony. “William and Catherine are making this commitment very much in the public eye, and they’re both sensible, realistic young people,” he says. “They know what the cost might be, and because of that, they will need the support, solidarity and prayers of all those who are watching.” “We have to be witnesses in an active sense: the kind of witnesses who really support what’s going on. To be a witness is more than to be a spectator, and I hope that’ll be part of people’s experience at the time of the wedding.” In short: Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose. We’re here for you William and Kate, and wish you nothing but the best in one week’s time. [Photo: WENN.com]

One of the most-anticipated movies among what’s left of this country’s audience for foreign films is the corporate comedy Potiche , starring Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu and directed by François Ozon. And while Ozon is a big deal in his home country of France, his films generally get noticed Stateside only when they feature big names like Charlotte Rampling ( Swimming Pool ) or Isabelle Huppert (who stars alongside Deneuve and six other towering stars of French cinema in 8 Women ). If you haven’t already discovered the greatness of Ozon, start with Hideaway (Le Refuge) , out on DVD this week from Strand Releasing Home Entertainment.
Sad news for fans of over-hype: The royal family will not allow Rupert Murdoch to broadcast the already over-hyped wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 3-D, despite the fact that the Murdoch-owned Sky News has the ability to do so. “I’m afraid I have to say that we have decided not to progress with 3-D coverage of the service on this occasion,” said Prince Charles’ press secretary in a statement. (Any chance her name is Moneypenny?) Fingers crossed for a crappy post-conversion 3-D DVD release spearheaded by M. Night Shyamalan. [ NYO ]
