Shrek Forever After is the fourth and final instalment for our favourite green ogre. Shrek has settled down and has grown tired of his quiet life with Fiona and their ogre triplets. He inadvertently signs a contract with the evil Rumpelstiltskin and his world is turned upside down. In this new alternate Far Far Away universe, Shrek's friends don't recognise him, Puss in Boots is one plump puddy tat and Fiona has transformed into Xena: Warrior Princess. We see some new characters like Rumpel and his evil witches and revisit some old friends like the Three Little Pigs and the Gingerbread Man. 
It's got the voices we've come to know and love, along with the typical wisecracks, but I have to admit I'm kind of relieved to hear that this will be the last chapter in the franchise. Don't get me wrong—I love the big green guy, but I think it may be time to let the films be remembered as classics and end things on a high note. Keep reading to see the trailer for yourself.

To tie in with the release of the fourth and final (boo) Shrek movie, Shrek Forever After, OPI has created six new shades: Funky Donkey (bold purple), Fiercely Fiona (pastel lemon), What’s with the Cattitude (baby blue), Rumple’s Wiggin (violet), Who the Shrek Are You? (vibrant yellow/green) and Ogre-The-Top Blue (bright blue). All feature the standard OPI ProWide™ big brush and are 3-free (no DBP, toluene or formaldehyde in sight.) Love, love, love. Especially What’s with the Cattitude and Rumple’s Wiggin. Excited, much? Have a fave? Remember: Chanel featured a light baby blue in its 2011 Cruise Collection. Just sayin' . . .

Cameron Diaz went with a short red number yesterday for the LA premiere of Shrek Forever After! She was the lone female star of the movie to pose on the green carpet with Antonio Banderas, Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy. Cameron is home in California after a busy few weeks of travel that included time in Chicago, where she recorded an episode of Oprah with Tom Cruise. They were there to discuss their film Knight and Day and she also shared her passion for cooking oatmeal for breakfast.
