(On My) ‘Radar’

Sunday, June 8th, 2008
Hot on the heels of the rumored cover artwork for Madonna’s new single Give It 2 Me comes this first look at the supposed cover artwork of Britney Spears’s new single Radar … as reported by World of Britney:
This single cover artwork looks less authentic than the Madonna artwork but, again, who knows if any or either of these photos are genuine. It’s not a bad pic either way … I guess we’ll find out soon enough. [Source]

Lady ‘Spirit’

Eva Mendes stars as Sand Saref in Frank Miller’s new movie The Spirit which opens in theaters this Xmas … here are a couple hawt posters featuring Ms. Mendes in the role:

I absolutely love anything with Frank Miller’s name on it so I am eagerly awaiting this film. Sin City did wonders for Jessica Alba’s career, I’m hoping that The Spirit does the same for Eva Mendes. We need a lot more hawt latina actresses in big roles like this … Eva is a beauty and I can’t wait to see her in the role. [Source]

Ex-American Idol season 5 winner Taylor Hicks made his official Broadway debut in NYC this past Friday night starring in the new production of Grease at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Hicks plays the Teen Angel in the production (a role made famous on the big screen by Frankie Avalon) … here are a few pics from his opening night performance:

“American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks makes his Broadway debut in the Tony-nominated revival of Grease at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre June 6. Hicks, who was the Season Five “American Idol” winner, succeeds Stephen Buntrock as Teen Angel in the summer-lovin’ musical. The Alabama native is scheduled to stay with the production through Sept. 7. In a recent statement “Idol” winner Hicks said, “I am incredibly excited to be a part of one of my favorite musicals. The Soul Patrol’s gonna invade Broadway!”

Now see … I know that Taylor Hicks isn’t all that old (he was born in 1976) but he normally looks pretty old with all that grey hair … this Grease hairdo doesn’t do much to make him look any younger. Nonetheless, I’m sure that Taylor Hicks will do a fine job on Broadway. He is a talented singer, which puts him ahead of the game of some of the other celebs doing stints on Broadway. I find him way more talented than Clay Aiken, so he gets my vote for Idol on Broadway. [Source]

‘Give It 2 Me’ Artwork Revealed … I Think

Sunday, June 8th, 2008
Here is our first look at what is purported to be the cover artwork for the new Madonna single Give It 2 Me:

There really has been no official confirmation of this cover artwork’s authenticity (official confirmation comes out this week) but it looks pretty genuine … tho, the InterWeb does make it very difficult to ascertain what is real and what is fake these days. Nonetheless, I think it’s worth posting so … enjoy!! [thanks Kevin]

The TV Guide: ‘Say Cheese!’

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Yesterday turned out to be a whole lot more fun than I thought it would … Le GangTM decided that we needed to take a family portrait together so (after a bunch of scheduling conflicts) we finally decided that yesterday would be our photo session at the Sears Portrait Studio. We decided to wear different color American Apparel track jackets as our outfits and convened en masse in Santa Monica for the shoot. Without further ado, here are some of the pics that we took:


There was a bit of stress getting everything coordinated but once we got in front of the cameras we had a blast! The pics came out so well, I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. We ordered all of these pics in various configurations so I can’t wait to see the final products.

In between shoots, some of us sneaked away to take our own fun pics around the Sears Portrait Studio:


If you can believe it, I ordered one of the group shots (the one with the paint buckets and brush) be made into a full-size, knit throw blanket! Ha! I can’t wait for it to be made :)

After the shoot, Paul had to jet off to meet up with Corey but the rest of us went out to dinner at Baja Cantina in Venice, CA for dinner:


Yes, that monstrously large coconut margarita was all mine for the drinking … and it was well worth the numerous brain freezes to get to the bottom of that massive tub o’ booze.

After dinner, Kirsten ran off to meet up with some boys (hopefully to smooch on) and Mike peaced out for home … then the rest of us went over to Darion’s place to play a little Rock Band


… cut to 4 hours later, I’m still shrieking on the mic, David was kicking ass on the drums and Darion was rawkin’ out on the guitar. Poor Steph and Alek … they looked like they wanted to shove sharpened pencils into their ears with every song we did. We had a blast tho, as these pics can attest.

This afternoon, David and I are hoping to head over to Adriana’s place for her birthday shindig and then we’re thinking about meeting up with some of the guys to see a movie. David hasn’t seen Sex and the City yet … and I know that we’d be happy to see it again with him :) I hope all y’alls weekend is going well … we are having a blast!!!

Hot Dude Of The Week: Nick

Weekend Hotness
Sunday, June 8th, 2008

It’s that time of the week again … that happy time that we pause to take a gander at the Hot Dude of the Week (huzzah!). This week we’ve got ourselves a new young chap, who has an affinity for body oil and micro swimwear … say hello to Nick:


SoCal has finally warmed up to the point where one can take regular trips to the beach to soak up the sun and/or go for a swim in the surf … and with enjoyable sights like Nick to sweeten the pot, well, you can see how much of an alluring prospect that is. As much fun as it is to see mere photos of Hot Dudes like Nick, I bet it’s much more fun to actually meet them in person … which I why I’m very excited that a few of the Hot Dudes from All American Guys will be coming to my Pink is the new Blog Relaunch Party this Wednesday night :) Because the gents will be coming to the party as guests, I suspect they’ll be wearing actual clothes (boo) … but there will still be fun pics to share, I’m sure ;) Woot!!!
