Do Not Bother Kristin Davis While She Is Shopping

I'm talking to you, Boy Scouts of America
Monday, October 6th, 2008

Sex and the City star Kristin Davis was approached by a entrepreneurial member of the Boy Scouts of America, who was trying to sell her some popcorn to help him raise money for his organization, as she left a grocery store in Brentwood, CA. Despite the lad’s rosy cheeked disposition and polite sales pitch, Kristin decided to take a pass and the young scout was left brutally rebuffed:


It would be terribly unfair (altho, really kinda funny) to imply that Kirstin Davis is a heartless, cold-hearted ice queen for denying this innocent young boy so let’s just assume that she either A.) is not a popcorn fan, B.) was in a hurry and couldn’t tarry or C.) has a strict policy against funding the Boy Scouts when all of her extra money goes to the Girl Scouts and their delicious cookies. Let this be a lesson to folks lookin’ to raise funds for non-profit organizations … cookies equal $$$, popcorn equals :(

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Gets Honored By Trinity College

How 'patron'izing
Monday, October 6th, 2008

Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was given the Honorary Patronage award from the Trinity College Philosophical Society during a special ceremony in Dublin, Ireland yesterday afternoon. While I’m not entirely clear on what qualified JRM for this honor, you can tell by the look on his face that he was thrilled to be honored so by this award:


Speaking on behalf of the Trinity College Philosophical Society, president Barry Devlin was quoted as saying, “We look for people who we feel represent the spirit and values embodied by former pioneering Irish people like Oscar Wilde. We are delighted to present this award to such a list of diverse and talented individuals such as Jonathan Rhys Myers.” At least JRM was able to control his ecstatic glee long enough to pose for these photos. Er, yes, I guess congrats are in order as well.

Orlando Bloom Gives Us A Peek

Let the sunshine in out
Monday, October 6th, 2008

Orlando Bloom was snapped enjoying a lovely stroll in Hollywood over the weekend and he decided to give us a brief glimpse of his sunny tattoo … check it out:


Now, this isn’t the first time that we’ve gotten to see Orlando’s tattoo but, just in case, I think he wanted to make sure that we got to see it again. Isn’t he just a swell guy for doing so? The design itself isn’t that impressive but he gets double points for placement. Do we like?

Angelina Jolie Shows Off Her Newest Tattoos

Daddy Braddy heads off to New Orleans, LA
Monday, October 6th, 2008

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walked the red carpet at the New York Film Festival premiere of her new movie Changeling on Sunday night and it turns out that Ange used the occasion to show off her two newest tattoos. Angelina already has the longitude and latitude coordinates of the birthplaces of her other children and added new coordinates for the birthplace of her twin babies Vivienne Marcheline & Knox Léon who were born in Nice, France on July 12:


Not only did Angelina Jolie debut her post-twins baby bod this weekend in NYC, she also showed off some new ink. The actress has added two tattoos on her left arm to show the longitudinal and latitudinal location of Nice, France, where Knox and Vivienne were born in July. They are located directly below four similar lines of coordinates that represent the birth places of daughter Shiloh, who was born in Namibia; Pax, who was adopted from Vietnam; Maddox, who is from Cambodia, and daughter Zahara, who is Ethiopian. “Everybody’s great,” Jolie told reporters at Saturday’s NYC Changeling premiere. “The babies are good, getting big and healthy and developing their personalities.” Is she getting much sleep these days? “We are a little bit,” she said. “We have a few nights where we get some help, so on those nights we catch up on our sleep.” Her tip for looking so sexy weeks after giving birth? “A good dress,” the Versace-clad actress told Usmagazine.com

Hee hee, at the rate that Brangelina are raking in the kids, she’s gonna have a full arm-sleeve of tattoos in no time. Brad didn’t stay in NYC for long, he has already made his way down South to New Orleans, LA where he was spotted riding a bike to a business meeting yesterday afternoon:


I believe that Angelina and the kids are still in NYC. It’s clear that Brad has a deep love for New Orleans, which is obvious from how much time he spends there. It remains to be seen whether the Brangelina brood will join him in New Orleans or if Brad with rejoin them in NYC. One thing’s for sure, tho, this family doesn’t stay stationary for long. I’m sure they’ll be popping up someplace new very soon.

Another Day At Disney, A Night At The ‘Phair’

The TV Guide
Monday, October 6th, 2008

Yesterday was the second day of our Disneyland Gay Days adventure and, let me tell you, it was almost over before it began. It turned out that Michael wasn’t allowed to bring guests into the Disneyland parks yesterday because of the Miley Cyrus birthday bullshizz that was scheduled to take place last night. Normally, he is allowed to bring guests with him to the parks for free since he is an employee of ABC. The guys were almost ready to just call it off and go back home but I offered to just pay for everyone to get in since we were already there and rearin’ to go. We got in line to buy the tickets and, I kid you not, a woman comes over to us and asks us if we want free passes to go to the parks today … she was not an employee, just a woman who had passes that she couldn’t use (yesterday was the last day they were valid) and she thought we could use them. It was just insane … we couldn’t believe our luck. So we got in and were ready to have a fun day … and then I got horribly ill from the previous night’s debauchery. I felt soooooo horrible all day long but, in the end, we managed to rally and have another day of fun at Disneyland:


I also got to meet a few Pink readers at the park yesterday, including Alison who I got to take a pic with:


The day was just really very fun. Michael did a great job planning everything and we had a blast as a result. I gotta say, it wasn’t the Gay Days bit that made yesterday fun … we would’ve had just as much fun on any ol’ day together.

Thankfully, I managed to rally and get better by the time I had to get back to LA to see Liz Phair at The Troubadour last night. It was my first show at the venue and it was awesome. Liz performed her debut album Exile in Guyville in full (like she did in NYC earlier this summer) to a sold-out house … which included Morrissey himself watching from the VIP balcony. Sadly, I couldn’t snap any pics of him but I did get a few of and with Liz:


The crowd was in LOVE with Liz last night. The whole show was basically a sing-a-long with her … she even mentioned how much she loves play to LA crowds. I must admit, tho, that the band was kinda messy last night. I thought they were really tight when I saw them in NYC but played a bit sloppily last night. Honestly, tho, it added to the overall feel of the show. Liz brought Blake Freedman on stage with her to duet on Flower again and she referred to her as her “protégé”. I gotta say, I was not impressed with any of her performances … she’s not a very strong singer and I don’t understand why Liz keeps bringing her on stage. After the jump, check out video of Liz performing Supernova during the encore …

Welcome To The World Grayson Carter

Meet the newest member of Le GangTM
Monday, October 6th, 2008

Congrats and love goes out today to the Lowenstein family who welcomed a new member to the fam last night. Darion’s sister Damien gave birth to Grayson Carter Cromwell, via C-Section, at 6:55pm — the little man weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. Here is our first look at Darion’s newborn nephew Grayson:


I understand that new mom Damien is doing well and that proud papa Kirk and grandparents Janai and Tim are over the moon with giddy happiness:


Darion tells me that little Grayson wasn’t scheduled to be born until today but I guess the little guy just couldn’t wait one more day to be born into the world. He is such a cute little dude … I am so happy for the Lowensteins. I’m sending much, much love and congrats to them in Oregon today and I am very much looking forward to meeting this little guy hopefully one day soon.
