So … tonight, at the stroke of midnight, Twilight the movie officially opens in theaters here in the US and I (along with thousands of people across the country, I’m sure) will be at one of the midnight showings in LA:
I would like to take this opportunity to remind y’all that you still have until Monday November 24 to submit YOUR entry in the Twilight Prize Pack contest that I am currently running here on the blog (in case you missed hearing about it, click HERE for deets). This weekend would be the perfect opportunity to take some fun vampy pics for the contest entry:
Show me what YOU look like as a character from Twilight and you could win the awesome prize up for grabs. You can also send in pics from the midnight showings tonight for posting with the PITNB Readers pics on Saturday. Have fun … I’ll be lookin’ for y’all’s pics :)
George Clooney was spied shootin’ hoops all by himself while on location in Roswell, NM where his new film Men Who Stare At Goats is currently being filmed. As you can tell from the following pics, George didn’t even bother to get out of costume before he made his way to the basketball court — when you gotta play, you gotta play:
In Goats (which sounds totally weird judging by the name alone), Clooney plays a soldier named Lyn Cassady with really bad hair. In these pics, his new porn’stache that was grown specifically for this role doesn’t look as impressive as it did when we first saw it last month . Truth be told, I haven’t heard or seen anything that even remotely has me interested in this film … a porn’stache and sweet b-ball moves ain’t enough to get my ass to the movie theater. What else ya got, Clooney?
Matthew McConaughey, who has recently returned to the SoCal area after falling off the map for a few weeks, was spotted this week enjoying some alone time on a beach in Malibu, CA. Well, he wasn’t actually all alone … he had a new friend with him:
No word on the pooch’s name but I suspect that the little guy was picked up so that Levi Alves can grow up with a family pet of his own. You may recall that this little dog was out with Matthew when he was photographed skateboarding last week … honestly, I thought the dog was just there and didn’t actually belong to Matthew. You know, I kinda like the idea of Matthew with a cute little dog like this … it looks like he is really becoming an honest to goodness family man now.
Pink reader John gave me the head’s up that Broadway hottie Cheyenne Jackson (formerly of Xanadu) was a guest this morning on The Today Show (4th Hour) and while that isn’t necessarily all that interesting in and of itself, what he got caught saying (or mouthing) is very interesting … and LOL-worthy. As Today host Kathie Lee Gifford was introducing Cheyenne on the show, she revealed that he was late to the studio because he had overslept … unbeknownst to Cheyenne, the camera panned to him and he was caught mouthing the words “oh, bitch” — behold:
LOLOLOL! I’m sure he didn’t mean it but … damn, that was funny as hell (and, really, who hasn’t thought about saying the same thing about KLG?). Cheyenne Jackson is too much of a sweetie to really call anyone a bitch on live TV … even tho that’s exactly what he got caught doing. After the jump, check out a sexy and semi-NSFW image of Cheyenne (wearing only a pair of white boxers) making an apology to Kathie Lee …
She looks like she needs a vacation from her vacation

Gwen Stefani and her family have been spending the last week or so on holiday in Mexico and were recently spotted making their grand arrival back in SoCal at LAX airport this week … unfortch for her, tho, hubby Gavin Rossdale was nowhere to be seen and the duty of lugging the children, Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock, fell solely to her:
Aww … poor thing looks a wreck. Even tho she had a nanny with her, Kingston insisted on being carried by his mother — who was already carrying little Zuma. She’s got some pretty adorable children, tho, so I suspect that all of this lugging around was a labor of love for her. It’s great to have the fam back in SoCal once again.
Yesterday was my last full day here in Detroit and while I’m very sad to be leaving for SoCal in a couple of hours, I’m really looking forward to the warmer weather. Tracey and Zakiya came over to Sarah and Mark’s place (where I’m staying) to hang out for a little bit yesterday afternoon. I recorded a short clip of Princess Zakiya talking about President-elect Barack Obama … a topic she came up with all on her own. The little girl is growing up so fast and she is now paying attention to things she sees on TV on the news. I whipped out my little Flip Video camera and recorded this little rant:
LOL! Tracey tells me that she saw the excitement in people since Obama has been elected and she is happy to talk to anyone about her endorsement of our new president. I know it looks like propaganda but my girl is smart, she knows what’s what all on her own ;)
Sarah, Mark and I had planned on going out to the movies last night but our laziness and the bitter cold got the better of us … we ended up staying home. But, we did make time to participate in Join The Impact’s new campaign to help win same-sex marriage rights in this country. You may recall that they were the folks who organized the National Day of Protest for Marriage Equality last weekend and now they’ve started a new postcard campaign. Click HERE for all the deets but essentially, folks are being asked to send a postcard from their hometown and mail it to President-elect Obama before Thanksgiving asking him to help repeal the Defense of Marriage Act once he takes office. Here are pics of Sarah, Mark and me with our postcards that will be mailed to Obama this week:
I really love this idea and am happy to participate. I urge y’all interested in fighting for marriage equality to participate as well.
As I said, I’m off to LA in a couple of hours but I have to send out all my love to the fine city of Detroit for another great trip. I’ll be back again for Xmas … but I gots to get back to the warmth of SoCal right about now. I’m meeting up with Darion, Steph and Alek upon my arrival in LA tonight for a midnight screening of Twilight. OY! It’s gonna be a long night ;)
