‘Twilight’ Does ‘Entertainment Weekly’ Magazine

Meet Robert the Vampire Player
Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who star as Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan in the new movie adaptation of the teen vampire novel Twilight by author Stephenie Meyer, are featured on the cover and in the pages of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine. While I’ve yet to read any of Meyer’s Twilight books (even tho I have them stacked on my ever-expanding reading pile) I am very interested in, not only this book series but also the burgeoning movie franchise that is set to hit the big screen later on this year. Here is the artwork for this week’s issue of EW with the Twilight stars on the cover:


I’m not entirely sure why but I’ve been a big fan of vampire lore for pretty much my entire life. It’s pretty obvs that I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan but before Buffy I was a big fan of Anne Rice’s book series The Vampire Chronicles as well as horror movies like ‘Salem’s Lot (which ruined my life for a whole month when I was a young child), Lost Boys and the classic Dracula movies. Even most recently, I became a fan of the ill-fated CBS drama Moonlight. And, not that I’m all that proud to admit it, I may have enjoyed a game or two of the White Wolf role playing game Vampire the Masquarade (perhaps my vampire clan was Brujah, for those in the know) back in the early ’90’s. I’m actually pretty surprised myself that I’ve yet to take on this series of books. I’ve heard only good things about them and am encouraged by EW’s assertion that the Twilight series are the “hottest books since Harry Potter (you may recognize Robert Pattinson as the bloke who played Cedric Diggory in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). I love that new hype is being generated for another series of books aimed at getting kids to read … it’s very heartening to know that kids can get excited about reading! Anyways, I’m looking forward to finding out more about these books before the movie gets released … if any of y’all have read the books, lemme know what you think about them in the comments. Something tells me that my inner Goth may enjoy this Twilight series after all.

Is Colin Farrell Going To Be A Daddy Again?

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Colin Farrell and his latest ladylove Emma Forrest were spied doing a little shopping at their friendly neighborhood Rite Aid drug store last weekend where the couple reportedly picked up an EPT pregnancy test before dashing out the door and rushing off to the Chateau Marmont … could the couple be making way for another one of Colin’s children or were they just dealing with a little false alarm?


Colin is still lookin’ super skinny and really frail after dropping all his weight for his latest movie Triage but I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he did, indeed, knock up his new girlfriend. I saw his sex tape, I’m aware of his virility. Even still, this little rendezvous with the EPT kit may have been just a close call … tho, Colin deffo had something on his mind because not long after his little trip to the drug store, he accidentally rammed the back end of a neighbor’s parked car with his truck. After the jump, check out the damage and the courteous note he left for the injured party …

Boys ‘Knight’ Out … Fest

The Mark-Knight Returns!
Thursday, July 10th, 2008

The 2008 Outfest Film Festival got underway here in Hollywood, CA last night as the Opening Night Gala took place at The Orpheum Theatre. Among the many attendees at last night’s event was the supercute powercouple made up of T.R. Knight and his much younger boyfriend Mark Cornelson (who were laughing it up on the red carpet like nobody’s business) … here are a few pics of The Mark-Knight at last night’s Outfest Gala event:


I’m sorry but they just make the cutest couple EVER! They always look so happy (I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pic of Mark without his trademark grin) and you always see them holding hands … their adorableness is borderline nauseating, yes? It may be difficult for some to understand what a 19 year old and a 36 year old might have in common to talk about (comic books or Tolstoy? The Hills or Meet the Press?) but with an obvs happy couple like The Mark-Knight, well, I’m sure they do just fine. It’s always such a pleasure to see these two out and about, hand-in-hand so happy together … they’re always the perfect way to warm the coldest cockles of anyone’s heart.

‘Jungle’ Fever Rages On

Filming continues on the NBC show
Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Here are a few new pics of Kim Raver and Robert Buckley on the Manhattan streets set of their TV show Lipstick Jungle which is currently filming scenes for their upcoming second season. Sadly these pics aren’t as … semi-nekkid … as the last batch of Lipstick Jungle set photos featuring these two were (click HERE for a refresher on those pics) but Kim looks hawt … as does Robert so … check ‘em out:


I should clarify that while Kim does look really great, I think she’d do much better with a different skirt. This one looks a bit bulky and doesn’t really flatter her from the waist down. That being said, I heart her totally … no matter what she’s wearing. Robert, on the other hand, could wear a sackcloth or a dish towel and I’d be totally fine with it. In fact, I think I’d much prefer seeing the man in nothing but a dish towel rather than this very tight t-shirt stretched across his muscular chest. Less is more, I always say … especially when it comes to hotties like Mr. Buckley. I dunno if it right to become interested in a TV show based solely on the looks of one of the cast members but I’m okay with being totally in the wrong on this one. Lipstick Jungle deffo picked itself up a new viewer in me :)

Lynne Spears Is Back In Town

Focus shifts from Jamie Lynn back to Britney
Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Now that the biz of overseeing the birth of her youngest daughter Jamie Lynn’s first child, the settling in of daughter/grandchild/babydaddy and the successful sale of the first photos of said grandchild is completed, Mama Lynne Spears has packed up her bags and made her way back here to SoCal to refocus on her eldest daughter Britney Spears and her needs. Here are a few pics of Mama Lynne upon arrival in LA at LAX airport yesterday afternoon:


Mama Lynne looks tanned and ready for action … I understand that Britney has a court hearing or two coming up and, of course, we know that she’s bizzy working on her new collabo with/for Madonna. I’m sure that Mama Lynne wants to be here to offer her help and support in whatever Britney needs … er, that is until Jamie Lynn recalls her back to Kentwood, LA to help with Maddie Briann’s diapers or whatevs. It must be tough to juggle the wants and needs of two famous daughters all at the same time. It’s hard out here for a pimp.

David Beckham Is A Rubbernecker

Someone's got a wandering eye
Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Here are a few photos of our dear David Beckham out for a cruise in Beverly Hills, CA checking out the sights along the way:


You will note that neither are his eyes facing forward towards the road NOR is his wife Vicki B. in the car with him. It appears that Becks has a fancy for cheerleaders AND random female pedestrians walking down the street. He is such a cad!
