Heroes star Kristen Bell is featured in the June issue of the UK version of FHM magazine … here are a few pics from her photospread:

Hot, hot, hot. These Kristen Bell pics may not of the same scorching magnitude of the Gisele Bündchen for GQ pics we saw earlier today but these are still really sexy. I love how KB can play both sweet & innocent and evil & psychotic all at the same time. She was a great addition to Heroes, I can’t wait to see more from her in the future.

Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia were among the guests who attended the US launch party for Kira Plastinina here in LA last weekend … and here are a few photos of the happy couple snuggling and chatting at the afterparty for the event:

HAYDEN PANETTIERE made no attempt to disguise her fondness for Heroes co-star MILO VENTIMIGLIA last night. The couple were spotted snuggling up at the Kira Plastinina US Launch Ace Gallery in Los Angeles. Milo may have to make the most of Hayden while he’s got the chance, as she’s reportedly about to embark on a new singing career. According to press reports from the States, Hayden will be a releasing her debut single, titled Wake Up Call, this August. With an album expected to follow hot on its heels, Hayden will have a busy few months ahead of her while carrying out promotional duties. Milo might just be hoping it’s a flop…

Absolutely not … Milo would never wish failure for Hayden just so he could spend more time with her. In fact, you can be assured that he would be her biggest cheerleader. I’m so glad that the couple are finally comfortable going out in public together … a love like this should never be hidden away but should be celebrated! Long live HaLo!!

Here are a few pics of Sarah Michelle Gellar filming scenes for her new movie Veronika Decides to Die in a small rowboat at Rockland Lake State Park in New York last week:

Yeah, I just love me some SMG so I just had to post these pics. She looks great (and Buffy-like) in these pics and I am excited for the release of her new movie even tho I’m a wee bit concerned that I may end up hating it (like most of her other movies, Cruel Intentions and I Know What You Did Last Summer notwithstanding). Thus far, the movie is full of promise … SMG looks amazing so I’ll just cross my fingers and hope for the best.

The Graziano family has hit back after a not-so-subtle attack on them was unleashed on the Florida radio airwaves last week by the Hogan family. A Tampa area “shock jock” radio DJ by the name of Bubba the Love Sponge Clem (who, incidentally, is a friend of the Hogan family) aired a recorded voicemail message from a man (identified as a “family member” of John Graziano, the 23-year old military vet who was left in a vegetative state as a result of a car accident caused by Nick Hogan last year) who insulted and threatened the Hogans … elevating the war between the families. In retaliation, the Grazianos shared a video tape with Nancy Grace, of CNN, showing the world just what life is like for the hospitalized John Graziano:

Now, regardless of whether the Graziano family did the right thing by releasing this tape or not, the public gets a better understanding of the disparity between the suffering families. We keep hearing how Nick Hogan is suffering in jail as he pays for his crime and now we see the suffering that John Graziano (and his whole family) is dealing with. The video is heartbreaking, so be warned if you decide to watch. I don’t necessarily agree with the family’s decision to release this footage but I absolutely understand the point they are trying to make. For any of the Hogans to have the nerve to contend they are suffering is ridiculous … compared to what the Grazianos are dealing with, I just hope the Hogans never utter another word about their pain ever again.

Tom Cruise took 2/3 of his children (and his sister Anne DeVette) for a little trip to the Hollywood Wax Museum on Hollywood Blvd. here in Hollywood, CA last night. Neither his wife Katie Holmes nor his eldest daughter Isabella Cruise came along for the trip … just his sister, only son and little pretend robot child Suri. Here are a few pics of the fam as they made their way into the museum last night:

While it’s marginally creepy that the limo that was used to transport the Cruises to the museum looks a bit like a hearse (eep!), I think it’s really very creepy that the family made their visit to the wax museum at night … unless that was the point and if so, then good on them. Suri is lookin’ real healthy these days … almost like a real little girl. Tom looks to be sporting his Nazi-esque haircut which prolly means he’s still working on his movie Valkyrie (about the attempted assassination of Adolph Hitler). Yeah, one thing’s for sure … this family is a load of laughs and they really know how to have a good time.

Gisele Bündchen is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of GQ magazine. Here are a few pics from her photospread and an excerpt from her coverstory:

Gisele Bündchen is writhing on the sheets of a bed in one of those airplane-hangar-sized New York City photography studios. It’s the last setup of the day, and she’s wearing a black bra along with something skimpy, satiny, and dark that she will later describe to me, with a straight face, as “boys’ underwear.” She works really quickly. Her fluid poses are a kind of rapid sex-symbol Tai Chi—fingers pass through hair, arms extend above head—and she moves from one into the next without making a single awkward gesture. Her expressions, though, are really something. I don’t know how she manages not to cross the line into camp when she puts on a smoldering look, but she does. At one point, I find myself in her line of vision and our eyes meet, and while I’m only stating the obvious here, I must say, I am not man enough. A few minutes later, we’re sitting in swivel chairs in front of an enormous hair-and-makeup mirror that’s bordered by a million tiny lights, the kind of mirror normal people shun like a staph infection if they know what’s good for them. Gisele has changed into jeans and a gray T-shirt with an elaborately draped neck, and she is holding court. The sweet nothings, the air kisses, the swooning straight out of Versailles … Do you have a signature expression, like Zoolander’s “Blue Steel,” that you use when you want to be extra-seductive? A photo is a story. Who will be this woman? Who will be wearing those sexy tops with boys’ underwear? I try to understand. Who is she? What kind of mood is she in? Like, whatever, I’m in my bedroom. I’m like, my boyf—

And here she has the presence of mind to cut herself off. But we’ll get to her boyf later. it’s possible to locate the exact instant when Gisele Bündchen became the globe’s reigning icon of feminine perfection: an April 7, 1999, shoot in the studio of the legendary photographer Irving Penn. That shoot marked the demise of fashion’s so-called heroin-chic phase and the advent of a new, commercial era, in which models would dream of walking the runway for Victoria’s Secret as much as they would for, I’m spitballing here, Alexander McQueen. Penn, 81 at the time, photographed the 18-year-old Brazilian gazing enigmatically over her shoulder, her hair thickly tangled, her body completely nude. In its July 1999 issue, Vogue used the black-and-white photo to illustrate an editorial called “The Return of the Curve.” Gisele would appear on five of the magazine’s covers in the next year and would ignite an international fever for Brazilian models, and a more localized one in Hollywood for flip-flops and radioactively golden skin. Her Photoshop physique—volleyball-player limbs, Modigliani torso, actual breasts—would drive thousands of her countrywomen to seek implants (I’m not making this up; it was in The Wall Street Journal) and would help transform a cheesy mall-store company, Victoria’s Secret, into a cheesy megacorporation. Today Gisele says simply, “I was there at the right time, I guess. I was the Girl Who Did That Picture, you know?”

And the rest, as they say, is history. The interview is a very compelling one. I must admit, I’ve never really put too much thought into Gisele Bündchen the person. I see her photos, I hear about who she’s dating but I never really gave her much thought. This interview paints a fascinating picture of who she really is. It’s interesting to read her take on her modeling career and her romantic relationships (especially with Leonardo DiCaprio and, currently, with Tom Brady). I don’t really read many interviews with models (wait, do magazines ever interview models in the first place?) but this one I enjoyed. Click HERE to read the GQ interview with Gisele and judge for yourself. I think you’ll find she’s more than just a pretty face. There is no denying that these photos are sick as hell. She looks stunning in them. Some people were born to model … she is deffo one of those people.

So, things appear to be getting better on the tech end. The major problem that caused the IE error on Saturday was found to be a conflict among widgets … now, coming from 4 years working with Blogger, I’m still learning about widgets and other aspects of Word Press. I spent most of yesterday afternoon, evening meeting with the tech folk to work on getting the problem resolved. At this point, there should be no more IE “aborted operation” errors from the page but there is still a problem in the code that could affect some IE users. The long and short of this is, we’re figuring it all out, we should be able to find the problem and things should be as perfect as can be soon. Again, if you experience a problem, shoot me a message and let me know … it’s actually helpful to hear what the problems may be.

Other than that … that’s been my life for the past couple of days. Lots of computers, lots of technical stuff … blah. I don’t have much on the agenda today … it’s David’s last night before he goes back to NYC (for real this time) so I’m gonna try and enjoy my time with him as much as I can.
