Spencer Pratt has issued a response to Mary-Kate Olsen’s comments about him made last night on The Late Show with David Letterman. Earlier today, we learned that MK pretty much put Spencer on blast as she was being interviewed by Letterman while promoting her new movie The Wackness. In retaliation to MK’s comments, Spencer gave his statement to US Weekly:

Hills star Spencer Pratt is flattered that Mary-Kate Olsen commented about his temper to David Letterman Thursday. “I don’t really get why she’d use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one’s going to see,” he told Usmagazine.com Friday. “She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me.” While promoting her indie film The Wackness, Olsen told Letterman that Pratt played soccer at her high school and “he does not have a good temper. He would walk off the field.” But Pratt told Us that Olsen went to Campbell Hall in North Hollywood while he attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica. “I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman,” Pratt told Us. “I forgive her, though,” he added. “She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.”

OUCH! Dissing her fashion sense is pretty easy to do (hello, who can’t see the girl dresses like a homeless person) but to call her a “troll” and the “less cute twin” seems to be inviting a feud. Is there a battle royale to be had? Who do you suppose is going to come out on top? Everyone’s favorite supervillain on The Hills or little Michelle Tanner? Bring it on, bitches! I wanna see a fight!!!!

Alright … so we know that Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, co-stars on Gossip Girl, are romantically involved in real life (you may recall the couple were spotted canoodling while on vacay together in Mexico last month) and that their on-screen characters, Serena van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey, used to be an item on the show … but the season finale left their romance in doubt. Here are a couple pics of Blake/Serena and Penn/Dan kissing pretty hardcore on the Tilden Beach set of Gossip Girl (currently filming here in NY this week) yesterday afternoon:

Is it fake kissing? Is it real kissing? Does it matter since Penn’s shirt is wide open and he’s showing off his happy trail? HMMM … looks like a fun job, whatever is really going on.

Can you guess which actor was proudly showing off his tushie outside an office building in LA yesterday afternoon? The fact that he is wearing a shirt should be a big clue:

Okay … so mebbe this dude isn’t really showing off his tush … it’s more like he’s just standing there while photogs shoot him from behind but it’s still a fun game anyways. After the jump, find out who it is …

Any chance there are some Real Housewives fans out there? Well, you’re in luck. After a few marginally successful seasons in Orange County, CA and a pretty sub par season in NYC, NY, the Bravo TV reality show will be goin’ down south to tell the tale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. After the blog The Young, Black and Fabulous broke the news on June 9, Bravo has finally confirmed the news … releasing a promo pic of the ladies in addition:

Bravo finally confirmed today that, yes, there is a “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” coming to the cable network later this summer. Here’s how Bravo is spinning it in its press release:

Rumors have been floating around for months and the gossip Web site Young Black and Fabulous provided juicy details of four of the five women on June 9. This follows the original, trashy “The Real Housewives of the O.C.,” the offshoot “The Real Housewives of New York City” and soon “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Apparently, Bravo thinks it has its very own “CSI:” franchise. The first 30-minute preview special airs Wednesday, July 30 at midnight after a rebroadcast of “Project Runway.” A specific launch date for the series has not bee set yet.

Meh. Not a one of them looks at all like Blanche Devereaux so I’m not all that excited just yet. That being said, Blanche never portrayed herself as any sort of real housewife so … whatevs. I suppose we should applaud Bravo for finally allowing some color on the series … it seems way overdue IMHO. Actually, I’ll prolly watch … I’m just amazed that so many women would be so willing to allow a TV network to make them into jokes to be laughed at. Have they ever featured a woman of substance who can actually be admired? Maybe they found one in Atlanta. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I have to send out much love and a very Happy Anniversary to my good friends Kirsten and Darion who I had the extreme fortune to meet one year ago today. Kiki, D and I met at the LA Film Festival screening of Once More with Feeling: The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Musical episode in Westwood, CA and have been practically insuperable since. Here is the very first pic that the 3 of us took together one year ago today:

Look at how young Darion looks! He looks like a baby in this pic … and my fauxhawk looks harsh, I’m glad I retired it (thanks Josh). Kirsten and Darion have become two of my best LA friends and I love them dearly. They always come as a set and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Kiki and Darion are among the founding members of The Gang^TM (along with Mike and Paul) and I love them both very much. We’re planning a big anniversary dinner when I get back to LA.

Tonight I fly off to Detroit to see my family and friends … but things are all great for me. I think I lost my wallet on Wednesday night and am stressin’ out hardcore. All of my credit cards, my ID and one of my Liz Phair ticket stubs were in there (along with some cash) and I fear I’ll never get any of it back. There’s still a chance it’s here in David’s apartment but thus far, no luck. Blah. I will have to spend sometime pulling together funds for my travels so I won’t have time to get much more work done today :(

Anyways, I’ll be comin’ atcha for the rest of the weekend from Detroit rock city … have a great Friday!!

Last night Liz Phair played the second NYC show of her Exile In Guyville Redux Mini-Tour at the Hiro Ballroom in front of another sold out house. This time around, Liz seemed more relaxed and was deffo more spontaneous … she wasn’t quite as chatty as she was on Wednesday night but her encore performance more than made up for the lack of on-stage banter (tho, to be honest, she did banter quite a bit). Here are a few of my pictures from last night’s show:

I’m not sure if I preferred one show over the other but I really loved last night’s performance. Liz looked stunning in her hot pants ensemble and, as I mentioned, appeared much more relaxed than her show the previous night. After the jump, check out more photos from last night’s show, video from her encore performance (she performed Chopsticks, May Queen, Wild Thing and Polyester Bride — I recorded each song) and some of the stuff that she spoke to the crowd from the stage …
