Ian Ziering Makes A Public Appearance

Is he trying to tell us something?
Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Here are a few new pictures of Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Ian Ziering walking the streets of NYC this weekend … curiously looking happy and content. It occurred to me that we haven’t really seen much of Ian since he was expunged from his Dancing with the Stars duties … and then it occurred to me, mebbe we will be seeing more of him on the small screen very soon … perhaps on 90210?


Isn’t there some question about the father of Kelly Taylor’s BLONDE son on 90210? Aren’t we supposed to learn the identity of Kelly’s babydaddy (who we know she “had a relationship” with in high school and isn’t Brandon Walsh … tho some think it might be Dylan McKay … I think the blonde hair says otherwise) on Tuesday night’s ep of the show? I’m just sayin’. Thoughts?

Avril Lavigne Debuts Her Fashion Line In Japan

The best damn thing?
Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Avril Lavigne has officially thrown her hat into the fashion designer arena having just hosted her first Fashion Show in Harajuku, Tokyo (yes, it’s a place not just a Gwen Stefani song). Avril unveiled the latest designs for her Abbey Dawn line of sk8r punkette clothing at the local LaForet Mall where her line is sold … here are a few pics from the Abbey Dawn Fashion Show:


I mean … really? I never thought the grunge look would be making a comeback so soon. Somewhere Kurt Cobain is spinning in his grave, the poor thing. For those of you interested, Abbey Dawn is available for purchase in this country at Kohl’s … you have been warned ;)

The Cast Of ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Meets Their Fans

A special report
Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Yesterday afternoon, members of the principal cast of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles came out for an in-store meet and greet with fans of the series at The Golden Apple comic book store in Los Angeles, CA. Because I couldn’t be there in person, I sent my boy Darion to the in-store meet and greet so that he might be able to snap some photos of the event (and castmembers Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Brian Austin Green, Richard T. Jones, Garret Dillahunt, Leven Rambin and THE STUNNING Shirley Manson) and write up a report on what went down. First, here are a few of Darion’s amazing pics:


OMG … looks like so much fun, I really wish I could’ve been there to show my support in person for this series but I know that Darion did that for me. After the jump, check out Darion’s report from yesterday’s in-store report …

Hauslaib Birthday Lurve

The TV Guide
Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Yesterday was my first full day here in NYC and it was a doozy of a good time. David’s parents are in town to celebrate his father’s birthday and his birthday (which is next weekend) and we spent most of the afternoon with them. First up, we went to see an illusionist/mentalist theater show called The Quantum Eye which was kinda fun … except for the part when I got dragged up on stage to participate. Long story short, the guy correctly guessed that I was “the murderer” based on my inability to lie (tho, I suspect the new blonde hair might’ve been a clue, too). After the show, we supped at an amazing Cuban restaurant called Guantamera. Seriously, the most amazing Cuban food I’ve ever had … I ate so much, it was embarrassing. Then we parted ways with David’s fam and made our way uptown to another birthday party for one of David’s friends named David (confusing, I know):


After a rousing game of Celebrity (which saddened me because there are people in this world who don’t know who Ethel Mertz, Professor Minerva McGonagall, Ayn Rand or Mary Todd Lincoln are) and healthy portions of baked ham (don’t ask) we got down to partying the night away. Oh yes, there were lots of Polaroid photos taken — some of them not really appropriate for public consumption.

Late last night, David and I decided to jet away on a spur-of-the-moment birthday trip for him at the end of the week … so if any of y’all are from or are familiar with Reykjavik, Iceland please send in your tips and/or suggestions. Wee :)

This afternoon, we’re gonna try and make it out to the Whitney Museum to see a Mapplethorpe exhibit and then … who knows what. Possibly snow shoe shopping or something … cuz, Iceland — here we come!

PS: I know this is HORRIBLY late but I also have to send out much Birthday Lurve to Pink reader Debbie from Albany, Oregon who celebrated her birthday this past Thursday! I am sending out all my pink love vibes to you today in the hopes that you had an amazing birthday this year … and, if ever I find myself in Oregon, I’m hoping that I’ll be able to meet you in person :) Happy Birthday, Debbie!!! xoxox

Hot Dude Of The Week: Brad

Weekend Hotness
Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Weeee! It’s that hallowed time of the week when we take a moment to pause and enjoy the Hot Dude of the Week. Let’s all say hello to a very serious, yet insanely hawt-lookin’ dude named Brad, shall we?


Sure, Mr. Brad looks like he might be a tad mean and yes his facial bone structure looks like it could break granite but … wooo, those abs … woot! For obvs reasons, I was lookin’ to feature a hot blonde this week and altho Brad isn’t as blonde as some other folks we might know and love, I think he fits the bill pretty nicely. MMM, yeah, I want to salute this lad’s commitment to physical fitness … I think he’s achieved a job well done. Enjoy :)

Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman Win Emmy Awards

Jesus gets no love, Jimmy Kimmel does
Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Woot! Kathy Griffin has done it again! Sarah Silverman has done it … er, for the first time! Both funny ladies walked away from the 60th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards which was held at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, CA last night. Kathy won for her outstanding work on her hit Bravo reality TV show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List and Sarah won for her rousing music video I’m Fucking Matt Damon. Here are pics of the lovely ladies with their shiny new trophies in the press room at last night’s Creative Emmy Awards:


Kathy Griffin might need to consider adding another member to her staff just to carry around her Emmy awards. The comedian won her second Emmy on Saturday, picking up the trophy for best reality program for her Bravo hit My Life On the D-List. And, true to form, she delivered another memorable – and bleepable – acceptance speech. “Well, well, well! Here we go again, f—–ers,” Griffin said, gamely accepting the award at the Creative Arts Emmys held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. “I’m not going to tell anyone to suck it,” she said, referencing her speech from 2007 in which she infamously told Jesus to “suck it.” “I would make love to this thing if I could.” … Griffin was also nominated for a stand up comedy special, though she lost the award to Don Rickles, with whom she is presenting an award at the Primetime Emmys next weekend. “Can you believe it? I’m in heaven,” she said of presenting with Rickles. “It’s what should have been the Obama/Hillary ticket of comedy. I’m very excited about that and being with him and standing next to him. I just love him.”

Sarah Silverman may have won an Emmy award for a song boasting of a romance with Matt Damon, but it was her ex-boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, whom the comedian thanked from the stage. “Let’s be honest, Matt Damon had very little to do with this being popular,” Silverman, 37, said while accepting her award at the Creative Arts Emmys for the salty music video “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. “Thanks to the person for whom this whole video was made: Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart – ohh, who’ll always have a place in my heart,” Silverman continued. The video, written and recorded for Jimmy Kimmel Live nabbed two awards – best original music and lyrics and a picture-editing award – at the Saturday show … While she has not spoken at length publicly about the split, in August, Silverman made a reference to her break-up during a comedy gig at West Hollywood’s Largo at the Coronet, telling the crowd, “Did someone tell you I’m going through a hard time?” In her speech Saturday, Silverman also thanked her cowriters and joked, “this makes all the, ‘Hey, I’m fucking Matt Damon, too,’ totally worth it.” The Creative Arts Emmys air on E! Saturday Sept. 20. The Primetime Emmys air on ABC Sept. 21.

Aww … I love it. Kathy is really funny on her show, I’m glad she keeps winning. To be honest, I’m actually very surprised that Sarah won her award. I was fairly certain that the Television Academy who votes for these awards wouldn’t deem a music video titled I’m Fucking Matt Damon worthy of such a prestigious award … I guess comedy does win out in the end … and I guess the Academy isn’t as stuffy as I previously believed. Much congrats and love goes out to both Kathy and Sarah on their amazing wins! I totally believe they are both well deserved.
