The “investigative news program” Inside Edition secured some surveillance footage of Lindsay Lohan at Lotus nightclub in Washington DC (the same night that she wrote the My Space blog about being a “lonely outsider” or some shizz) that appears to show the young starlet mixing a cocktail and then, later on, drinking … something. Here are a few screencaps from the video in question:

It’s pretty impossible to tell what Lindsay was pouring into that glass and what she was drinking. According to the narration on the video, she is said to be pouring Grey Goose vodka and Red Bull. After the jump, check out the video in full …

The industrious kids at Oh No They Didn’t! have compiled a bunch of For Your Consideration ad posters that will be published in the hallowed Hollywood magazine Daily Variety meant to suggest Oscar nominations for various categories to members of the Motion Picture Academy. This year’s batch of For Your Consideration ads are pretty standard (I really love the WALL•E and Batman: The Dark Knight ads) but one in particular caught my eye:

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! The folks at Disney CANNOT be serious, right? This HAS to be some sort of joke … RIGHT?! They don’t really think that High School Musical 3: Senior Year is worthy of a Best Picture nomination … RIGHT?!?!?! LOL! I mean … what? Words fail.

Yesterday was one of my trademark chill Saturdays … I kinda played around with the idea of going out and then, meh, decided against it. For the most part, I spent the day on the couch watching re-runs of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (gearing up for the AMAZING-LOOKING reunion special this coming Tuesday night) and 27 Dresses (which was just as charming as it was the first time I saw it in theaters). I also spent some time reading the just published book Love Letters of Great Men which was inspired by the book of the same name that was featured in the Sex and the City movie:

The book is available for sale this Tuesday but the publisher sent me a preview copy to check out. I distinctly remember taking note of the book’s title when I saw SaTC back in May because I wanted to own a copy of that book … I was very sad to learn that it didn’t exist. Now, at last, it does. It’s a surprisingly great read … the letters are very sweet and it’s a very interesting way to view these great men of history … especially when they are being all lovey-dovey with their ladies.

This afternoon I’m meeting up with a friend for eats and then not sure what’s going on for the rest of the day. I have to start planning for my next trip so I might get some early cleaning/laundry/packing done … and then again, mebbe not ;)

Huzzah! It is time, again, for our weekly eye-feast of the Hot Dude of the Week :) Very plainly and simply I present to you Judson, in all his tighty-whitey Calvin Klein glory:

You know, there is something to be said about a very cute face … and even tho Judson isn’t as chiseled or muscley as some of the other Hot Dudes in previous weeks, I think he’s got that boy next door appeal … and, you know, a nice butt. Judson looks a bit like a younger James Marsden which also works in his favor. I think he makes a great selection for the Weekend Hotness. Enjoy!!

The happily coupled Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were on hand in Beverly Hills, CA last night to do the special honor of flipping the switch at the UNICEF and City of Beverly Hills 2008 Snowflake Lighting ceremony. Since being named as a Goodwill Ambassador by UNICEF back in July, duties like this fall to Joel and his equally charitable babymama Nicole … duties that the couple does take very seriously and suffer gladly. Here are a few pics from the event last night and some information about the event from a press release:

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF announced that Joel Madden, UNICEF Ambassador, and Nicole Richie will host UNICEF’s 2008 Beverly Hills Snowflake Lighting Ceremony on Saturday, November 22 at the intersection of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard. The ceremony highlights the city of Beverly Hills’ “Light the Night” annual holiday event where the UNICEF Snowflake and the 20 Baccarat chandeliers that grace Rodeo Drive are illuminated to kick off the holiday season. Madden, lead vocalist for the critically acclaimed, platinum-album-selling band, Good Charlotte, was named UNICEF’s newest Goodwill Ambassador in July 2008 during CNN’s broadcast of “The Survival Project: One Child at a Time” and his first field visit as an official UNICEF Ambassador is scheduled for the fall. Richie is also no stranger to social and humanitarian causes as she and Madden recently formed the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, a charity which provides funding to groups focused on improving pediatric health, education and human rights, both domestically and abroad. “We are honored to have Joel and Nicole participate in the Beverly Hills lighting ceremony,” says Caryl Stern, President and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. “With their tremendous commitment to UNICEF’s child survival mission, Joel and Nicole are the perfect people for UNICEF to share this meaningful tradition with” … Before Madden and Richie take the stage to flip the switch to illuminate the UNICEF Snowflake, guests will enjoy family activities and a visit from Santa Claus along Rodeo Drive. The evening will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display atop the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel, which is home to the west coast UNICEF Snowflake. In conjunction with the lighting, the hotel has created the “Melted Snowflake,” a special drink in honor of the UNICEF Snowflake that will be served on the hot chocolate menu in The BLVD. Festivities begin at 3:00pm with the official lighting at 6:00pm.The UNICEF Snowflake Lighting is open to the public and the Snowflake will be illuminated for the entire holiday season serving as a beacon of hope, peace and compassion.

Aww … it sounds like a very nice ceremony. Altho Southern California isn’t the sort of place that many folks associate with a Winter Wonderland, it goes to show that the Xmas spirit can exist anywhere and the season can be celebrated anywhere. I just love how much time Nic/Joel devote to charitable events like this … Nicole, especially, has really turned her back on the wild and crazy days of youth and has matured into a responsible adult woman. Kudos to them both for all the work that they do and here’s to another year of charitable acts from Nic/Joel!

Beyoncé aka Sasha Fierce was spied shooting a new music video this weekend for her upcoming single Diva, presumably the next from her new album I Am … Sasha Fierce. Here are a few pics from the set of her new music video:

You will note from the photos on set that B was having a little fun with the accessories — from the Kanye West-like sunglasses to the crown she stole from the kid in Where the Wild Things Are to the robo-glove that she just can’t seem to get enough of — girl was workin’ it. I must say, tho, that I really love the song Diva. It is one of my fave tracks on Beyoncé’s new album and I’m really looking forward to the finished product (wacky accoutrements notwithstanding). I could really do without the harsh eyebrows but … I guess we’ll see how things turn out, yes?
