Robert Pattinson Gives Tyra Banks A Pain In The Neck

And she looks very happy about it
Friday, November 21st, 2008

Robert Pattinson (and Taylor Lautner) taped an appearance on The Tyra Banks Show this week (scheduled to air on Friday November 28) and the result is NOT TO BE MISSED by Twilight fans. Asking the question that every screaming Twilighter on Earth would love to ask of R. Pattz, Tyra implored of the actor “Will you bite my neck?”, and he happily complied:


Woot! Looks hawt! I’m sure there are quite a few folks out there who wish Robert Pattinson would put his open mouth on their necks but, unfortch, they’re gonna have to life vicariously thru Tyra Banks. Make sure you tune into The Tyra Banks Show next Friday to see this bite in action.

AND DON’T FORGET that this is the last weekend you enter for your chance to win the Twilight Prize Pack that I’m giving away here on the blog. Click HERE for deets!!

Robert Downey, Jr. & Jude Law Go On A Bromantic Date

Cute Couple Alert!!!
Friday, November 21st, 2008

Robert Downey, Jr. and his BFF and co-star Jude Law stepped out for a little dinner together at the 60 Hope Street restaurant in Liverpool, UK last night (after a long day of filming their new movie Sherlock Holmes) and emerged from the eatery lookin’ quite the handsome couple … matching porn’staches and all:


As y’all are well aware, RDJ and the Jude’stache are starring as bosom buddies Sherlock Holmes and Watson (respectively) in the new Guy Ritchie-directed film and the pair have been spending an awful lot of time together. Now, I must clarify that I am NOT suggesting that anything untoward is going on betwixt these two, I’m merely stating that they are enjoying a healthy bromance that, I feel, should be celebrated. They do compliment one another very well and I am happy to see them together in any capacity. Here’s hoping the two of them enjoy many future bromanitcal dates together … if only for our satisfaction alone :)

Guy Ritchie Has Dinner With His Sons

The first of many single dad dinners to come
Friday, November 21st, 2008

Earlier today we learned that Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been granted a “quickie divorce” from the London High Court after the parties agreed on a settlement concerning assets and child custody. Last night, Guy spent some time with his two sons Rocco and David Banda which shows that he intends to take an active role in their lives despite the fact that he is splitting with Madge:


While I am happy that there will be no nasty divorce for Maddy and Guy, I’m really bummed that their young children now have many years of shuffling back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean to spend time with their parents. I’m sure that both Madonna and Guy will do their best to care for their children and make the shared custody work as best as they can but … the kids are so young … I can’t imagine that it will be easy for either Rocco or David.

Former MTV VJ Jessie Camp Shows Us What He’s Made Of

And now I really wish he hadn't
Friday, November 21st, 2008

This past Sunday night we got a blast from the past when former MTV VJ Jessie Camp resurfaced on the live TRL Finale event that aired on MTV. Honestly, I hadn’t thought about Jessie Camp in years … and that was just fine with me. But seeing him on the ep, alongside his VJ cohorts, reminded me of some of the fun wackiness he brought to the show. Today we get another look at what Jessie’s been up to these days and, unfortch, it’s not a pretty sight. For some unknown reason, Jessie thought it would be a great idea to drop his pants and flash his p33n for the photogs …


… and after seein’ the goods for myself, I cannot for the life of me understand why he would do such a thing. After the jump, check out this uncensored NSFW photo and see for yourself what the lad’s packin’ …

‘Lost’ Gets A New Promo Trailer

With music by The Fray
Friday, November 21st, 2008

ABC debuted a new commercial/promo trailer for the upcoming 5th season of Lost last night that features a new song titled You Found Me by The Fray … check it out:


The trailer/music video does offer quite a few new scenes from season 5 that were not featured in the season 5 trailer we got to see last month. I really do love the way the new song by The Fray is utilized in this clip. Altho this promo trailer is, technically, the first time anyone’s heard this song You Found Me, The Fray will officially premiere the song when they perform it live at the American Music Awards this Sunday night. Their new album doesn’t hit stores until February 3, 2009 so this new track will have to tide us over until then. Great song … great new season of Lost?

The Simpsons Visit Bronx Mowgli Wentz

Papa Joe & Jessica meet the littlest Wentz
Friday, November 21st, 2008

Early this morning we learned that Ashlee Simpson had finally given birth to her first child with hubby Pete Wentz, a little boy the couple decided to name Bronx Mowgli, late Thursday. This afternoon, we get to see a couple photos of famous members of Ashlee’s family visiting with the newborn baby boy in at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center … behold:


As you can see, Grandpapa Joe Simpson had his cameraphone at the ready and was bizzy snappin’ pics of the little guy … presumably so the photos could be shared with family and friends but, considering Papa Joe’s penchant for making money off his children, it’s just as likely that he is planning on selling the pics of his newborn grandbaby as well. The caption of the second photo insists the person in the red coat is Jessica but it’s kinda hard to tell. I do know that Jess did talk to In Touch Weekly about her newborn nephew, tho, expressing her elation to the mag:

No one is happier to be an aunt than Jessica Simpson. “Bronx is beyond precious. I’m over the moon with joy,” Jessica Simpson tells In Touch about her sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s baby boy, who was born on Thursday. “Life is a beautiful miracle. Ashlee and Pete are healthy, happy and enjoying every moment.”

I think it’s pretty safe to say that both the Simpson and the Wentz families are thrilled at the baby’s arrival. Whether or not they are as in love with the kid’s name as their parents are is another story … for another day.

The ‘Twilight’ Zone

The TV Guide
Friday, November 21st, 2008

OY! Yesterday was a looooong day for me and, amazingly enough, I managed to wake up relatively early today and am still going strong. After a full day of work yesterday and a 5+ hour flight from Detroit to LA, I met up with Darion, Steph and Alek upon arrival and we made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood for a 12:45AM showing of Twilight. After getting home at about 3:30AM, I was up and working by 8ish this morn. I can feel a crash coming but thus far, I’m still plugging away:


I’ve been reading some of y’alls emails and comments about Twilight the movie and I’ve determined that they are pretty evenly split — between those of you who loved the film and those of you who utterly hated it. I must count myself with the folks who liked the film. Overall, I felt that the movie version of the book was really true to the story and while some portions of the book had to be left out of the movie (no movie version is able to perfectly replicate the book it is based on), I found that the major points were included — and included well. I was VERY surprised at how much I liked the cast. It was weird seeing the characters in the flesh … and I honestly felt that every character was properly realized. Kristen Stewart makes a perfect Bella Swan, I think. For me, she nailed this part. Robert Pattinson was a very good Edward, I think. Some folks thought he was cheesy but most of the way that Edward acts in the book is cheesy (and, it must be said, that R. Pattz’s hair has never looked better, like, ever … I will say, tho, that Edward in the film looked like Brandon Walsh from Beverly Hills, 90210 circa 1993 while his voice sounded like Luke Perry, same time period.). In fact, I found most of the books very cheesy in that teen romance sort of way … the movie did a very good job of honoring that tween cheesiness. Those of you who find fault in corny aspects of the movie have to look to the book to place blame. I was worried that the dazzling scene would be really bad but they ended up handling it very well. Sure, Edward looked like a go-go boy dancer wearing too much body glitter at Studio 54 but it was apropos for the scene, I think. While I can’t speak for anyone else, my gut tells me that the folks who do not like the film merely love the book so much that nothing could measure up. As, I think, an objective reader/watcher who isn’t overly swayed by emotion, I found that the movie did a great job of bringing the book to life. My only complaint with the film lies with the music … the music used thruout the movie was horrible! So bad. The only bit of music I liked was Edward’s piano playing … the garish guitar motif that kept popping up thruout the film was annoying.

So yeah, overall … I liked the film. Darion, Steph and Alek liked it too … in fact, they were pleasantly surprised that they liked it as much as they did. The sequel New Moon is set up perfectly at the end of this movie … I’m looking forward to seeing how that one turns out. As for last night …


… we had a lot of fun :)

UGH … there is a very cool event that I was invited to tonight but I’m not sure if I will be able to make it out. I’ll need to sleep at some point … we’ll see. It’s good to be home tho, warm is where the heart is.
