Fridays are such a relief:  the workweek is finally over; the weekend stretches out ahead of you; you can Happy Hour with friends, and just unbutton that jacket, and breathe a sigh of relief. 

Or, even better, just throw on a comfy pair of undies, lie back and relax.  

Daniel Craig is currently filming his second "Bond" movie.  If you still haven't seen "Casino Royale", run, don't walk to the video store.  Or add it to the #1 slot in your Netflix queue.  I am wary of gratuitous action films, but this one is fast-paced and exciting with a whole mess of plot twists and general intrigue.  We love intrigue.

 We also love gratuitous swimsuit scenes. 

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS! 

Josh Duhamel recently proposed to his girlfriend, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson, and some of us took that news a little hard.  We then realized that we could still appreciate Josh for his fantastic body of work.

Or just for his fantastic body.

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS! 

I used to watch NYPD Blue, basically just to watch Henry Simmons.  It was a very well-written show, agreed, but it was on pretty late. 

I'd stay up late for this.

I don't recall this NYPD Blue episode, but it looks like he's coming to catch me with that net. 

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS! 

We hope Reese doesn't mind sharing.  She seems like our kind of girl, and her taste in men has improved radically in the past few years.

Sharing is nice on Fridays. 

Jake Gyllenhaal is also nice on Fridays.

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS! 

Dancing With The Stars is over for the time being, but Cameron Mathison's paso doble will forever remain burned into our subconscious.

Subconscious, regular conscious, whatever.  We're happy Cameron worked so hard on all those dances, as it helps with the fantasizing.

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS! 

Frank Lan-who?  I know, I know.  He is slightly out of our demographic.  The only reason I know the name "Frank Langella" is that my mom has been swooning over him for the past I-don't-know-how-many-years. 

And today is Mom's birthday.

But Frank is, to be fair, kind of hot.

You know, in an older dude kind of way. 

And, he played Dracula. 

Dracula with some bad 70s hair.

The only shirtless photo I could find was from the 1986 movie "The Men's Club", and he appears to be wearing very odd makeup.

MOM, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! AND TO THE REST OF YOU HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS! 

The Golightly Girls are in England!  God save the Queen, and all that!  And we pay special tribute to the United Kingdom, for bringing us Clive Owen.

I searched high and low for a photo of a shirtless Clive Owen, and came up with nothing.  Nothing?  How is that possible?  He MUST have been shirtless SOMETIME!

I couldn't find it.  Clive offers these flowers as a condolence.

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS!  (say it with a good British accent) 

Ryan Reynolds is starring in the new release "Definitely, Maybe", this weekend. 

We loved him in "Two Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place", and watched as he Lampooned out in "Van Wilder", then completely buffed up into a ridiculously hunky dad in "Amityville Horror", which we didn't watch, as the story was disturbing and frightening. 

There is, thankfully, nothing disturbing or frightening here.

 HAPPY FRIDAY, FROM THE GOLIGHTLY GIRLS!

I pay as little attention as possible to professional football.  But I do watch "Project Runway", so I am impressed with Tiki Barber.  He was a guest on one episode, and the contestants had to design an outfit for him. 

He was also voted one of Vanity Fair's "best-dressed" in September 2007.  And who doesn't love a "best-dressed" list?  Compared to watching a football game?  It's like candy vs. Brussels Sprouts.
