Dink Driving

Friday, June 6th, 2008

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen Britney Spears around these here parts … I was just thinking yesterday that it has been ages since Brit Brit got any blog lurve. Now that she’s no longer riding the crazy train to wrecksville, she’s been mainly staying focused on her work (I believe she is still in talks to collaborate with Bally’s Total Fitness), her music (she has been actively working on her next album) and her family … which brings us to these new photos of Britters enjoying a lovely afternoon with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (as well as her father and conservator Jamie Spears) playing with their toy cars at her Beverly Hills, CA home:

Truth be told, I really do not miss any of Britney’s former crazy antics. Sure, we may have had more to talk about last year when she was publically spiraling down her abyss to destruction but I prefer not having much to talk about if it means that she’s staying home and taking care of getting her life in order. Photos like these are way more preferable to the trashy embarrassing pics that were coming out daily last year. Seeing photos of her playing with her sons win every time. [Source]

Berry Suspicious

Friday, June 6th, 2008

The LA Times blog The Dish Rag has scrounged up an interesting photo of Angelina Jolie with her personal assistant Holly Goline in the background. In the hoopla surrounding the fact that Entertainment Tonight erroneously reported the birth of Angelina’s twins last week, it was determined that the misinformation was circulated by an imposter posing as Holly Goline who was disseminating the misinformation by way of her BlackBerry email account. In the course of trying to figure out how this imposter managed to fool ET into believing the misinformation as truth, anonymous Jolie confidants denied that Goline has a BlackBerry email account (which is meant to prove that any email received from an BB email account belonging to Goline must be fake) … cut to this photo of Goline with Jolie at the Cannes Film Festival clutching a BlackBerry (wrapped in a pink rubber protector, I might add) in her hand:


HMMM. Incidentally, neither Angelina Jolie nor Holly Goline have been seen since this “birth story” got out of hand. Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Holly Goline received an email from ET asking if Angelina gave birth, Holly might’ve then ran over to show the email to Angelina who might’ve said, “Let’s eff with them. Email them back and tell them I did.” Holly might’ve done as she was told, giggling all the while, only to spark this mess of a story. And now, maybe, these anonymous “Jolie confidants” are trying to deflect attention from the fact that perhaps it was just a joke and are trying to remove Goline from the story as best they can? I mean, I’m merely guessing here … but it’s possible and it would explain how this thing got started in the first place. Of course, I suppose it’s also possible that Angelina hasn’t been seen in the past week because she’s bizzy playing with her newborn twins in seclusion ;) In the end, ET never should’ve run with the story without knowing for sure the report was genuine. They look totally foolish here and have severely hurt what smidge of credibility they used to have. Don’t be surprised if Holly Goline resurfaces holding an iPhone from here on out. [Source]

The Birth Of R-Andy M-Adams?

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Okay .. so I realize that just seeing two people walking down the street together, sometimes holding hands, isn’t bona fide proof that they are dating but I’ve been hearing the rumors for far too long that the generally perceived Mandy Moore and the, shall we say, colorful Ryan Adams have started dating … seeing photos of the pair walking the streets of NYC together, sometimes holding hands, appears to lend credence to those rumors:

To be honest, I don’t really see these two together as a couple … but here they are, seeming “a couple”. Ryan has dated some hot (and mostly innocent-like) ladies in the past (like Winona Ryder, Beth Orton, Leona Naess, Parker Posey) and Mandy has enjoyed the company of a bad boy or two (Wilmer Valderamma, DJ AM) so maybe this is a match made in heaven. I’d be interested to know if the duo have worked on any music together since they are both musicians (er, well, Ryan is musician enough for the both of them combined). I hear that Ryan is a heartbreaker … I hope that he’s nice to Mandy … she seems like a sweet girl. Then again, it’s the perceived “sweet girls” that you really have to look out for. [Source]

‘My God, You’re Huge …’

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Fans of Xanadu on Broadway might want to take a few minutes to watch the following video — Cubby Bernstein: Episode 6 which stars Nathan Lane and the mostly nekkid male cast members of Xanadu:


In the clip, the boys talk about how they are trying to assure folks that the musical isn’t “too gay” by having the discussion while wearing nothing but their dancer’s belts. People, Cheyenne Jackson is shirtless in the clip. Enjoy.
