			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><a href="scottwesterfeld.com">Mr. Westerfeld</a> linked a free-this-week essay from <a href="http://www.smartpopbooks.com/1290">SmartPop</a> on his blog about <i>Uglies</i>! Titled &#8220;Team Shay,&#8221; here&#8217;s an excerpt:<br /><Br><img src="http://www.smartpopbooks.com/media/covers/medium/mind-rain.jpg"><br /><Br></p>
<blockquote><p>Though Tally’s pinball relationships with David and Zane are always at the forefront of the narrative, one must remember that the story is told from Tally’s point of view. She may not recognize Shay’s feelings—a fact that more than once sends Shay into a vengeful rage—and what’s more, she may be too biased to recognize the truth of her own. While David and Zane vanish into the wilderness for months or books at a time, Shay is always there, always watching, always waiting, and always, always thinking about Tally.</p></blockquote>
<p><b>This made me think of Shay in a new light (because I never really liked her before). What do YOU think???</b></center> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center> Yes, we have lots of spam. I did another clean out of the comment spam, and they are getting harder to pick out. Just so you guys know, don&#8217;t ever click on any of the links on any of the comments. I&#8217;ve blocked links from coming through, but even the commenter&#8217;s names, where they have websites. Even as tempting as it is to click on &#8220;watch Eclipse for free!!!!!,&#8221; it is totally spam and will probably plague your computer with viruses and JUNK. Just be careful, okay guys?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center>Scott commented via his twitter and his website that the casting rumors for <i>Uglies</i> is completely false.

Here&#8217;s what he said on his <a href="http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/2010/06/meet-up-soon/">website</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The cast list on the Uglies movie IMDB page has turned out to be a hoax. There is no word yet on casting.</p></blockquote>
<p>And his <a href="http://twitter.com/ScottWesterfeld">Twitter</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>News from my Hollywood agent: the Uglies cast additions to IMDB are not true. You are ALL still Tally!
</p></blockquote>
<p><b>Thanks to everyone who gave me a heads up! I was really lazy in posting this</b></center></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><b>UPDATE!<br />
 <ahref="http://kayascodelario.net/2010-06-08/update_442#comments">Kaya Scodelario Web</a>, a fansite for the actress, claims to have spoken to her reps and they deny that she has any affiliation with <i>Uglies</i>. That clears a little up. Thank you Ella for the tip <img src='http://thesmokelives.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </b></p>
<p><a href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986270/">IMDB</a> has updated that the roles for Tally, Shay, and David have been cast with India Eisley, Kaya Scodelario, and Lucas Till respectively. <br />
<img src="http://images.tvrage.com/people/74/220171.jpg"><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvtfzfs2z21qzueido1_400.jpg"><img src="http://static.thehollywoodgossip.com/images/gallery/lucas-till.png"><br />
This, however, is COMPLETELY a rumor. There have been no official confirmations, and no other news surrounding this. Most people are aware that IMDB can be publicly updated by its members, so the information could have been added by anyone. Also, it&#8217;s pretty hard to cast the main roles for a movie when a director or screenwriter hasn&#8217;t been hired. But who knows? Maybe they have been hired and we just don&#8217;t know about it, but that still isn&#8217;t likely. But PLEASE just treat this as rumor. I will let everyone know when official confirmation shows up. Let&#8217;s hope more news will pop up because of this <img src='http://thesmokelives.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  *fingers crossed*</center></p>
