Didn’t they make a movie out of Bridget Jones’s Diary? I never saw it. I still think the best chick lit is When Harry Met Sally. Even if I can’t stand Meg Ryan. (Billy Crystal, Bruno Kirby, and Carrie Fisher make up for her.)
I’ve never eaten there, but Chickflick got a lot of attention last year for being an anti-gay fast-food chain. There was even a boycott!
