Alan Ritchson Does The ‘Abercrombie & Fitch’ Catalog

NOTE: This is not an advertisement for Abercrombie & Fitch
Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Alan Ritchson, sometimes N2N underwear model (link may be NSFW) and current Aquaman on The CW’s Smallville, is featured in a new photoshoot for the recently resurrected Abercrombie & Fitch catalog (which is currently unavailable in the US). Here are a couple of Alan’s new A&F photos:


I can’t be sure but it looks like these photos were snapped by Bruce Weber (who is fond of shooting photos for A&F). After the jump, check out one more photo of Alan for A&F but be warned, it is very NSFW considering that Alan isn’t wearing a stitch of A&F clothing …

Lance Bass Confesses To Wearing High Heels …

... In preparation for his upcoming stint on 'Dancing with the Stars'
Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Lance Bass has confessed to People magazine that he has taken to wearing high heeled shoes to prepare his feet for the pain that will come from his participation in the new season of Dancing with the Stars. As if that confession wasn’t a bit embarrassing enough, homie was snapped wearing butterfly wings at a cocktail event hosted by the Lollipop Theater Guild Network (which is an organization that brings current movies to hospitalized children) in Beverly Hills, CA Tuesday night:


It’s a far cry from his sneaker wearing, hip-hop dancing days with ‘N Sync. “I’m wearing heels!” Dancing with the Stars contestant Lance Bass told PEOPLE Tuesday at the Lollipop Theatre Networks cocktail party. “It’s not that fun. My feet are swollen sausages every day!” And the pain doesn’t end there: At 29, Bass is also feeling his age after four weeks of countless hours spent preparing for Monday night’s highly anticipated Dancing with the Stars season 7 premiere (8 p.m. ET on ABC). “It doesn’t feel the same at all,” Bass said, who is partnered with a new ballroom pro, So You Think You Can Dance alum Lacey Schwimmer. “The first thing you notice is your knees, then your lower back goes out, your arms start hurting–and the feet!” While Bass is already considered an early favorite, he’s got his eyes focused on his competition. “Maurice Green and even Warren Sapp and Misty May– those athletes can do anything,” he said. But so can he, according to former ‘N Sync member and Dancing alum Joey Fatone. “He said I got it,” recalled Bass. “I was used to the hard work with ‘N Sync.” And despite being “excited, scared, and nervous,” he’s ready for Monday night’s two-dance premiere: “I have the cha cha and my quick step ready to go!”

You know, it takes a brave man to publicly admit that he not only wears high heeled shoes but also has no problem donning butterfly wings for a worthy, charitable cause. OK, so mebbe Lance’s desire to wear butterfly wings isn’t wholly a charitable endeavor (mebbe, he just likes them) but his support of the Lollipop Guild Network whatever is a good thing and that’s all that matters. Kudos to Lance for continuing to support these sorts of charitable organizations. It’s the least he can do for his part in unleashing the boy band craze upon our unsuspecting heads back in the late 90’s ;)

Kate Middleton Channels Her Inner Roller Girl

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Kate Middleton, royal paramour to Prince William of Wales, participated in a fun roller disco charity even in London last night … and boy, did she dress the part. Hot pink legwarmers, sparkly green top and quad rollerskates with wheels that light up … tacky but way fun. Here are a few pics of Kate doing her thing at last night’s charity event:


Kate Middleton was on a roll Wednesday night – showing off her skating moves at a charity bash in London. In a green sequined halter top and yellow hot pants, Middleton, 26, co-hosted an day-glo disco at London’s Renaissance Rooms with a group of friends in a bid to raise $200,000 for a children’s hospital ward. Tom’s Ward at the Children’s Hospital in Oxford, England was set up in memory of Middleton and Prince William’s close pal Sam Waley-Cohen’s brother, Thomas, who died in 2004 after a battle with cancer. “We wanted to do something fresh and new; something that would be fun and a bit tongue-in-cheek reflecting the lighter side of life; very much like Thomas was himself,” Sam Waley-Cohen said in a statement. Middleton, who helped organize the bash with Waley-Cohen and Holly Branson – the daughter of Virgin Airlines tycoon Sir Richard – definitely reflected fun, moving around the party, in her skates that lit up, with a tray of donuts. Also taking to the floor was Kate’s younger sister Pippa, who matched her sister with pink leg-warmers, and Fergie’s daughter, Princess Beatrice, 20, who wore a red Mohawk wig. Prince William, though invited, was not in attendance.

Sadly, his Royal Hotness was not in attendance at last night’s rollerskating charity event … which is a real bummer cuz I’d love to see Prince Wills rollin’ on skates … while wearing leg warmers :) Kate seems like a really cool chick … I like her for Wills. Even tho he’s off to take on a military tour of duty for the next few years, I really do hope that he and she end up married together. They make a great couple … I think she’s really good for him. If anyone can get Wills in a pair of legwarmers, I think it’s Kate Middleton :)

Jennifer Lopez Jets Off To St. Tropez

Someone needs some R&R
Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Clearly jetting back and forth across the country while managing to fit in a triathlon in between all over the course of a single weekend (not to mention hosting an $800,000k party afterward) can take a lot out of a person … which is prolly why Jennifer Lopez decided to make her way to St. Tropez (playground for the filthy rich) in order to enjoy some downtime. I suspect her zombie hubby Marc Anthony and her twin babies Max & Emme went with her on holiday but J. Lo did manage to spend some time alone with just a small entourage in tow:


I say good for her … Jenny has been workin’ her butt off over the past few days and even tho I’m a bit annoyed that she pulled out of her celebrity guest judging duties for the Project Runway Season 5 Finale Fashion Show at the very last minute, I think she prolly deserves a bit of a vacay right about now.

Cristiano Ronaldo fans — take note! The official 2009 Cristiano Ronaldo Calendar is now available for order … and here is our first look at some of the images from his hot new celebrity product:


Dayum. Cristiano is a hottie but these photos are among the hottest pics of the lad that I think I’ve ever seen … well done Danilo Celebrity Calendar makers. He looks so much better when he’s not fried to within an inch of his life … he looks very, very nice … yes?

Gearing Up For Iceland

The TV Guide
Thursday, September 18th, 2008

David and I leave for Reykjavik, Iceland tomorrow night and I realized yesterday that I didn’t bring a thing to wear in cold climates with me to NYC. I have a suitcase full of shorts and flip-flops … and a pair of jeans. So, I ventured out in search of some sort of winter wear and found just the stuff I needed at the North Face in SoHo. I loaded up on water-resistant, wind-resistant, cold-resistant gear that will hopefully make our trip to Iceland nothing but fun :) I got fleecy jackets and gloves and all sorts of really warm and durable gear for our trip … I’ll be looking something like this:


David and I have a 10-hour daytrip to go hiking and snowmobiling on a glacier and I didn’t even bring shoes … so I had to load up on everything. I’m excited tho, we are going to have a blast … I can’t wait.

Last night, David and I met up with his friends Lisa and Matthew for dinner at SoHo House which was very, very fun … Lisa is one of my fave people ever. She and I talked about going to Istanbul together … but one trip at a time ;)

Nothing fancy going on tonight, I think we’re doing a quiet dinner with David’s sister Eden. We talked about going to Fredrick’s but I think I might be up for trying a new place altogether. We’ll see …
