Vicki B. Steps Out With Marc Jacobs

New 'do and pleated skirt on display
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Here are a few pics of besties Vicki B. and designer Marc Jacobs making their way to B. Bar Grill Cafe after they dined together at the Waverly Inn in NYC last night. Clearly, VB was still very happy to show off her newly unveiled pixie haircut and Marc was all about his new purple skirt:


Pink reader James emailed me last night that he ran into VB as she made her grand arrival at B. Bar last night with her “gaggle of gays” tho I’m not sure if that included Marc Jacobs or not. In any event, it’s clear that VB and MJ have been spending quite a lot of time together. Don’t they make a supercute couple, these two? I think it’d be totally fetch if they dumped their respective husbands and ran away together … then David Beckham would be free and single. I’m just thinking out loud here … pay me no mind. I think I’ve decided that I like VB’s haircut. I’m not really all about men in skirts. You?

Elisha Cuthbert Is Returning To ‘24’

Set those cougar traps
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Here are a couple pics of Elisha Cuthbert making her way to the gym here in SoCal yesterday afternoon … seeing these pics of the lass reminded me that she, you know, exists. They also reminded me that last week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly reports that she has signed on to reprise her role as Kim Bauer on the upcoming new season of 24 … which is good ‘cuz, you know, there’s that whole forgetting that she is still alive thing:


This from the mag’s new feature Ask Ausiello: Ladies and gentleman, we’ve got a signed contract! Sources confirm to me exclusively that Cuthbert has inked a deal to reprise her role as Jack’s lightning rod of an offspring for a season-ending arc that will no doubt trigger a new round of wholly outdated and painfully unfunny cougar jokes. Per my 24 mole, Kim will return minus her old beau (sorry, C. Thomas Howell) and plus a child! That’s right, Kim’s got a little puma all her own!

Well hallelujah! It’s been ages since we’ve seen Jack Bauer’s only child on 24 and I was starting to wonder what the hell has been doing on with her. You may recall that Jack got sprung from a Chinese prison in the last season of 24 (which aired about 10 years ago) and we got nary a hint that his daughter even cared. I’m glad to see that Kim Bauer will still feature in Jack’s life … I gotta say, I miss that. I’m not the biggest Kim Bauer fan but I do like the complications that she adds to his life. It’ll be great to catch up with the character to see how she’s been doing. I just hope she fixes that fried hair before she shoots new scenes for the show. Oh yeah, I’ve thought WAY TOO much about this … can you tell I’ve been suffering from 24 withdrawals?

Heidi Klum Promotes Jordache Jeans

I mean, someone has to
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Heidi Klum was on hand at Bloomingdale’s in NYC yesterday afternoon to do an in-store appearance for the launch of the department store’s flagship store for Jordache Jeans. Here are a few pics of the faboo Ms. Klum at yesterday’s event:


See, bright red lipstick can look great on a woman if used properly in moderation (take note, Xtina Aguilera). But anyways, I’m not entirely sure who even wears Jordache Jeans anymore … it seems like that jeans brand went out roughly around the time that parachute pants did in the late 80’s but … everything old is new again, right? Jordache has to be cooler than Wrangler Jeans, right? If anyone can help make Jordache claw its way back atop the designer jeans heap, it’s Heidi Klum. Yeah, good luck with that ;)

Jessica Simpson Does ‘Good Morning America’ … Twice

A tech glitch interrupts her eager performance
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Jessica Simpson has been making the rounds on all the early morning TV shows this week and yesterday she paid a visit to Good Morning America to perform a track off her new album. Altho Jess had to stop her performance on live TV because she couldn’t hear anything in her earpiece, she managed to get thru the rest of the song with her usual … gusto. Here are pics of Jess showing off her trademark fug faces as she performed on GMA yesterday morning:


Jessica Simpson tripped up a rocky performance on live television Tuesday, the day of her latest album release. “Hold on, I know this is live TV but I can’t hear anything,” she said as she starting singing her quadruple platinum hit “With You” on Good Morning America. The music stopped, the crowd in Times Square went silent and then she counted down for her musicians to start again. “You got it?” she asked. “There you go!”

You know, I cannot hate on the girl for giving her all in every live performance that she does … but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the ridiculous faces that she makes when she’s belting out her songs on stage. I’m sorry, it’s not a pretty picture. I did catch this particular performance, tho, and I think she sounded great. Country Music is a good fit for her … hopefully it’ll allow her to enjoy more success than Pop Music did.

To See Or Not To See ‘Hamlet 2’, That Is The Question

The TV Guide
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Because I only have a few days left here in SoCal before I jet off again to NYC I am doing everything I can to keep things as chill as possible. Last night I really wasn’t in the mood to do anything fancy or formal, at best I was up for seeing a movie. Darion and his gaggle of new friends were going to see Hamlet 2 and I decided to tag along:


As a whole, I really enjoyed the movie. I found parts of it extremely funny and very entertaining. The strongest parts of the film came with the actual performance of Hamlet 2 near the end of the film. But, to be totally honest, I found that a huge portion of the film felt … forced. There were whole segments of the storyline that never made me crack a smile once. When humor tries too hard, its no longer humorous. The story was cute and quirky and I totally get what they were going for. Again, as a whole, I enjoyed myself at this movie … but it’s not something I’d ever need to see again. That being said, I’m glad that I did see it and I would urge fans of silly humor to check it out. It’s a good time … nothing to write home about but deffo fun. Oh and for those of you who have seen the film, can anyone explain to me why David Arquette was even in the film? His character was so pointless and nonexistent.

After the movie, we posed for our requisite photos:


Darion and his crew headed off to a few clubs, I headed home to do some reading. I’m really trying to finish Breaking Dawn because I don’t want to have to carry that heavy book with me on the plane this weekend.

Today I’m having lunch with Tony and then I’ve got a date with the washing machine. So much packing to do, again, I don’t even know why I ever unpack ;)

Sienna Miller Hides In Shame

No pictures, please
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Sienna Miller is back in LA, y’all. When last we saw the little minx, she was snapped creepin’ out of a hotel in London where her, shall we say, “close friend” Balthazar Getty was staying (you may recall that he flew out to the UK for a quick weekend trip to see her a couple of weeks ago) and now we have pics of Miss Miller here in SoCal. Clearly, Sienna was in no mood to be photographed by the overzealous LA paparazzi so she did everything she could NOT to give them a good shot of her as she tried to make her way to a gym in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday. I’m not sure she was entirely successful:


Huh. I wonder whatever on Earth she could be so embarrassed by that she can’t even show her face in public. Anyone?
