updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (October 7) with a movie recommendation. The singer/actress tells readers:

Hello all :)

Last night I went to see ‘Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist’ and it was so cute! – I think the entire cast is so much fun to watch, and the storyline is great – Seeing movies like this is such a good feeling… It also shows you how important movies are in life – you can be in a horrible mood, and most of the time a movie that makes you laugh and enjoy life can change your mood by the time you walk out of the theatre.

Try and check out the film, I’m a big fan of Kat Dennings and Michael Cera and it would be nice to give them some support!

It’s also a great soundtrack.. try and pick one up!
xoxo
