Somebody That I Used To Know by Goyte has taken over the world, at least I think. I have been listening to remix upon remix of that song. This one has to be my favorite version by the Canadian group, Walk Off The Earth. Now, I was listening to their other music and they are good! It’s nice to see some polished voices that are talented. Besides, I can’t waste the chance to promote some Canadian music. And now I can’t stop playing this. It’s literally on repeat and has been for hours now.

Elizabeth Banks Covers Women’s Health

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 06:44 PM PST

Elizabeth Banks, who stars in the upcoming movies Man on the Ledge, Hunger Games, and What to Expect When You're Expecting, is on the March 2012 cover of Women's Health. In the issue Banks spilled her secrets on filming her upcoming movies, the best career advice she ever received and how she stays healthy (and her splurges) to keep her healthy figure. As a sidenote: Elizabeth is also celebrating her 38th birthday on February 10th.

Elizabeth on her upcoming action flick, Man on a Ledge…"[It was] a great ride of a movie. I got to shoot a gun and stand on a five-foot ledge 22 stories above Manhattan."

Elizabeth on working on The Hunger Games…"Anytime you can work on something that's really entertaining but also has an intellectual idea at heart, it's very exciting."

Elizabeth on the traits that make her popular with men…"I can hang with the dudes because I love beef and baseball and driving fast and flirting. I understand where men are coming from and I'm interested in typically male endeavors. But I can also wear the short skirt and cheerlead."

Elizabeth on the secret to a happy marriage…"Don't embarrass your husband. Unfortunately, everything I do embarrasses him. But he's very accepting. I'm onscreen making out with other men! I know I could never be married to an actor."

Elizabeth on how she's stayed happily married…"Number one, I never check any previous Google searches that my husband did. I don't want to know those things and, more than that, I don't want to confirm the things I think I know! It's good to maintain that mystery and trust."

Elizabeth on running for office…"I'm a good role model. I have an amazing marriage and it will be long lasting. I think I'm a good mom. I could run for office, no problem, because there are no skeletons in my closet. Not that I would run for office…"

Elizabeth on becoming a mother through surrogacy…"It helped that other moms had said that once they had their babies, they forgot they were ever pregnant. So once my focus became the baby and not the pregnancy, it was a very easy decision."

Elizabeth on her top fitness trick…"I do this system called TRX. It was developed by a Navy SEAL and is basically a simple cord that you can wrap around something anywhere, anytime, and you use your body weight as resistance. We installed one in our home gym, but you can also attach it to a tree. It's very easy to travel with."

Elizabeth on what she calls "awesome"…"Prison rodeos. Google this shit! I'm dying to go!"

Elizabeth on what makes her laugh…"You'll never see me in a T-shirt that has the body of a skinny lady wearing a bikini. But that fact that it exists really tickles me. And I think it's hilarious when a fat lady wears it. Fat lady wearing it, hilarious. Guy in it, even funnier."

Elizabeth on changing her last name from Mitchell to Banks…"[Elizabeth Mitchell] had just joined SAG, so I had to get a new last name. I called SAG, and they said Banks was available. I cried when I changed it."

This issue out on newsstands on Tuesday, February 7th.
