The One Where Mayerston Snuggle In The Backseat

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have been having themselves a nice little European vacay this week as the couple have been seen popping up in Amsterdam and London together. John has been playing shows in these cities and Jen, like a nice girlfriend/groupie, has been tagging along to lend moral support, cheer him on, take photos and (I suspect) give the guy some nookie along the way. Here are a couple pics of the happy (miserable?) couple clutching one another in the backseat of their car after having had dinner at La Famiglia in London last night:


Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer continued to keep their romance firmly off the radar Saturday. Slipping unnoticed into the musician’s backstage area at the Hard Rock Calling festival in London’s Hyde Park, Aniston stood quietly in the wings while the “Georgia Calling” singer ran through a 45-minute set in front of an audience of ten of thousands. But the actress wasn’t just there to lend moral support: wearing a black-and-white floral halter-neck top and faded flared jeans, Aniston busily snapped away with her camera to record Mayer’s on-stage performance. It was the second time in two days that Aniston had joined Mayer for one of his gigs. On Friday, she took a seat in the upper level of the gritty south London venue, the Brixton Academy, before leaving with Mayer at around 11:30 p.m. Earlier this week, the couple united in Amsterdam, where she was promoting the upcoming Marley and Me (with Owen Wilson) and Mayer was performing. In keeping with the low-key theme of her London visit, she never once ventured into the Hard Rock VIP area and quietly left the show without anyone noticing … Mayer is due to perform at the Glastonbury Festival on Sunday. His European tour then moves onto Copenhagen.

Well, they couldn’t have kept their movements entirely off the radar, how else would People be able to report their activities. I think it’s cute that Jen is turning into a Mayer superfan … this is the most active we’ve seen her with a fella in a very long time. I honestly still don’t get her complete and utter hatred for the public spotlight, especially after her many years working towards achieving TV fame. David and I spent a lot of time watching Friends reruns when I was with him in NYC this past week (man cannot live on Golden Girls reruns alone, I’m afraid) and I had almost forgotten how funny and outgoing Jennifer Aniston seemed back in her hey day. Since the show ended its run, Jen has really shunned much of the public’s attention towards her, which kinda reads as an “Eff You” to all the fans who made her such a wealthy person. But, even still, she deserves happiness again … especially after the whole Brangelina thing … it’s nice seeing her happy with John Mayer … at least, I think she’s happy with John Mayer. After all, she is deigning to be seen in public again … that’s really something.

Hugh Jackman Enjoys St. Tropez … Again

It must be Sunday!
Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Here are a few new photos of Aussie hottie Hugh Jackman frolicking, once again, at the beach at Club 55 in St. Tropez with his son Oscar this weekend:


For the past few weekends, we’ve been treated to new photos of an oftentimes half-nekkid and wet Hugh Jackman (tho, we’ve seen him fully dressed as well) enjoying the comforts of various posh beaches and quite parks in Europe and Australia with his family. So while he is hard at work on various projects, we see that he still makes a concerted effort to spend quality time with his wife and kids … which only magnifies his hotness tenfold. I’m not sure that this bounty of mancandy will last much longer (depending on whether or not he returns to Australia where winter is just getting underway) but I’m happily enjoying what we’ve been getting thus far.

Amy Winehouse Does Glastonbury

She spits! She punches! She cusses folks out!
Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Amy Winehouse, who on Friday night successfully delivered a live performance for Nelson Mandela at his 90th birthday celebration in Hyde Park, London, manged to keep it together long enough to make her scheduled appearance at the Glastonbury Festival last night. Having heard some of her performance from Glastonbury last night, I don’t think she was in quite the same shape that she was for Mandela on Friday night … she slurred her way thru the lyrics and stumbled on and off the stage — which isn’t all that surprising — but the real fun came when she started getting boos from the crowd:


AMY WINEHOUSE made PETE DOHERTY look angelic last night after punching a fan, spitting chewing gum into the crowd and calling KANYE WEST a c*** on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. Her obnoxious behaviour tainted what should have been a magical comeback set. The question on everybody’s lips was whether or not she would turn up sober and it was admittedly hard to tell if she was intoxicated, as her stage persona is to play up to her rebellion. But coming onstage with a beaming smile suggested she was over the moon to be in the spotlight again after her hospital spell last week. The songstress started with promise, looking radiant in a blue cocktail dress which squeezed her boobs into an impressive cleavage and detracted attention from her super slim limbs. She sang her heart out during classic tracks Tears Dry On Their Own, Wake Up Alone and Back To Black … But things turned sour when she spoke about hubby BLAKE coming out of jail and fans booed. Amy defended him, saying: “Don’t boo. I’ll find your phone and ring your mum and tell them about your bad manners. Manners cost you nothing.” She then rambled on about never having loved a white man before, adding: “When Blake came along he bashed me over the head with a cricket bat. Not literally.” The performance became more about her declarations of love than entertaining her supporters. Before launching into Hey Little Rich Girl, the precocious star went on a tirade about JAY-Z. She ordered the crowd to welcome him and told everyone to be grateful they weren’t getting Kanye West as he is a “c***”. Amy then played up to the cameras during finale track Rehab, jumping off stage, stumbling around and lapping up the attention from adoring fans. But the final straw came when the troubled star shockingly punched an audience member. Glasto boss MICHAEL EAVIS defended Amy saying: “The man deserved it. He grabbed Amy’s breasts as she went past him.” However another fan in the front row said it was actually a GIRL called Claire that was hit and she only tried to give the singer a high five.

After the jump, watch video of Amy’s attack on whoever it was that she threw a punch at …

Ryan Takes Abbie To Meet His Friends

Or, vice versa
Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Well now … it would seem that Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish are getting much more comfortable venturing out in public together these days. The happy couple were spotted lookin’ all happy and cozy together at a friend’s BBQ in LA yesterday, which I believe was the first time (that I know of) the couple stepped out publicly among friends as a couple. Of course they may have previously attended private events with friends together since they got together (it’s unclear exactly when that was … you may recall the couple were spotted canoodling in Texas by a Pink reader back when they were filming Stop-Loss together and while Ryan was still married to Reese) but I understand they have taken great pains to stay as much on the down-low as possible for a majority of their relationship thus far. It looks like those days are over … here are a few pics of Rabbie at yesterday’s BBQ party — where Abbie felt it entirely appropriate to show up wearing her pjs:


I say, good for them! While it is sad that the fairytale romance between Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe came to an end (pause to pour one out for Witherppe), it was only a matter of time before they both moved on. Ryan and Abbie appear to be very happy together (deciding to recently unveil their love publicly at an LA area CVS pharmacy) and, if the tabs are to be believed, Reese and Jake Gyllenhaal are shacking up together. Here’s hoping that Rabbie are able to find happiness and contentment with one another for years to come … unless there can be a reconciliation for Witherppe and then that would get my vote :)
