Playtime With Daddy

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Okay … brace yourselves, y’all … here are a few of the most adorable photos that we’ve seen in a long time — check out these pics of Jude Law playing at a North London park with his youngest son Rudy yesterday afternoon:

ZOMG … soooo cute! I always love seeing pics of dads playing with their kids but there is a tenderness in these pics that we don’t always get to see. Sure, we see pics of Brad Pitt carting the kids all over the globe to this or that event and we also see pics of Hugh Jackman taking the kids to the beach in Australia (sometimes, we see him hurtling the kids into the air for kicks) but these pics of Jude and Rudy just playing in the park seem especially poignant. I think a resounding and collective AWWWWWW! is in order :) [Source]

Barack The Vote; Hillary Endorses Obama

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

The day that Senator Hillary Clinton never wanted to see finally arrived today … ending her bid for the White House, Hillary appeared at one final rally in Washington DC this morning to formally endorse and pledge her support to Senator Barack Obama as the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States of America:


Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton formally threw her support behind Senator Barack Obama on Saturday, clearing the way for Mr. Obama to head into the general election with a plan to challenge Senator John McCain in typically Republicans states. Mrs. Clinton, speaking here to an audience of advisers and supporters who had been invited to attend from across the country, used the final rally of her presidential campaign to end her barrier-breaking bid for the presidency and endorse Mr. Obama. She pledged that she would do what it takes to help Mr. Obama win the White House. In her last rally as a presidential candidate, Mrs. Clinton expressed deep gratitude to the voters. who had cast ballots for her. She suspended her campaign, rather than officially ending it. That’s a technicality that will allow her to raise money to retire her debt and to control the delegates she won. It is not an indication that she has any intention of resuming it. Mr. Obama stayed away because he understood this was her moment. Mrs. Clinton offered nothing less than a full-throated endorsement for and embrace of Mr. Obama and his candidacy. She has said many times that she would work her heart out for the nominee, and aides said she knew that now was the time to begin to show it. In a letter on her Web site, Mrs. Clinton expressed her support for Mr. Obama in this way: “Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign. Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you.” Mrs. Clinton continued, saying: I “extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans.” If it was an end for Mrs. Clinton, it was a new beginning for Mr. Obama. Aides said he would take advantage of the nearly nationwide reach of his expansive get-out-the-vote operation that he built during the long Democratic nomination battle — as well as his considerable financial resources — to try to force Mr. McCain to compete in states which are usually reliably Republican … With Mrs. Clinton now out of the race, Mr. Obama wants to define the faltering economy as the paramount issue facing the country, a task made easier by ever-rising gasoline prices and the sharp rise in unemployment reported by the government on Friday. Mr. McCain, by contrast, has been emphasizing national security more than any other issue and has made it clear that he would like to fight the election primarily on that ground. Mr. Obama has moved in recent days to transform his primary organization into a general election machine, hiring staff members, sending organizers into important states and preparing a television advertisement campaign to present his views and his biography to millions of Americans who followed the Democratic contest from a distance. In one telling example, he is moving to hire Aaron Pickrell, the chief political strategist of Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio — who helped steer Mrs. Clinton to victory in that state’s primary — to run his effort against Mr. McCain there. In another, aides said, he has tapped Dan Carroll, an opposition researcher who gained fame digging up information on the records of opponents for Bill Clinton in 1992, to help gather information about Mr. McCain. That is the latest evidence that for all the talk on both sides about a new kind of politics, the general election campaign is likely to be bloody. Mr. Obama’s campaign is likely to hire Patti Solis Doyle, who was Mrs. Clinton’s longtime associate and campaign manager until a shake-up in February, the first of what Mr. Obama’s aides said would be a number of hires from the Clinton campaign.

At last, the brightest and best from both the Clinton and Obama campaigns will be working together to ensure that the Democrats win the White House in November. It is such an exciting time right now … we move full speed ahead into the general election. It is such a relief that one Democratic nominee has finally been decided upon … united together, we will win. Woot! Woot! [Source]

Head Of The Class

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

In recent weeks, I’ve commented extensively on how happy and proud I am that Britney Spears has made a successful bid to clean up her act, to get her life back on track and to bring an end to the dangerous and trashy behavior that she had been engaged in (and that was essentially killing her). I’ve lately come to see that Paris Hilton, yes the Paris Hilton, has kind of done the same thing. Ever since she started her relationship with Benji Madden of Good Charlotte (a relationship that I, honestly, never envisioned in the first place), Paris has stayed out of the party scene and has settled down … a lot. I’m not sure it really hit me how much Paris has changed her ways until most recently … check out these photos of Paris doing her best Jackie O. impersonation (sans the faboo pillbox hat) as she made her way out of a store this week:

You know, I really feel that much of the credit for the new Paris goes to Benji Madden. He is, very honestly, one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet. He’s not about the Hollywood bullshizz, he’s not about hitting all the trendy hotspots … he’s just a down guy who keeps it real. Paris is very lucky to have him in her life … and maybe that is why she’s changed her behavior for the better. I really hope we get to see more of this new and improved Paris Hilton. She’s quite a sight for sore eyes. [Source]

Hug It Out

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Usually the action that takes place while filming scenes for a TV series happens on set … but in some instances, the action takes place backstage. Here are a couple of adorable photos of Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia (who finally confirmed that they are romantically involved) doin’ a bit of cuddling on the steps of Hayden’s trailer on the set of Heroes (which is currently filming for the next season):

They make an adorable pair … and now that the secret’s out that they are lurvin’ all up on one another, we may be seeing more canoodling like this going on as the summer progresses. I’m totally geeked that new eps of Heroes are currently being filmed, btw. It won’t be long until we’ll be seeing the Heroes back in action … until then, tho, we’ll have to settle with watchin’ all the HaLo action backstage ;) [Source]

Lights, Camera … ‘Into Action’

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

My girl Skye Sweetnam has a new video for her hot track (Let’s Get Movin’) Into Action which features Tim Armstrong of Rancid … check it out:


The song is actually Tim’s song and was featured on his last album A Poet’s Life … and Skye sang backup vocals on the track. Now he’s returning the favor for Skye. The vid is rad … Skye looks really great in skintight rubber, no? Enjoy!
