Matthew Fox Does ‘Details’ Magazine

Lad of the 'Lost'
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Lost star Matthew Fox is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine wherein he talks to the mag about, among other things, a future after the series ends its run. Here is Matthew’s coverphoto and some quotes from his probing interview:


On ‘Lost’ coming to an end: “Personally, it’s a relief … I owe this show a great amount, and I think it’s exceptionally good … [but] I am looking forward to the freedom that comes with not working on one project professionally.”

On the ‘Lost’ series finale: “This show started with a plane crash on an island in the South Pacific, and it’s going to have a very global and epic ending.”

On moving to Oregon: “My major motivation is to be closer to family. My brother is there, my mother is there … I really miss that kind of wide-open space.”

This is a lot of ecstatic waxing on the eve of the debut of the next season. It sounds like Matthew has really thought long and hard about the time in his life after he leaves the island and Lost behind him for good. After the jump, check out another photo of Matthew from this issue of Details magazine along with a couple of screenshots from his video interview with the mag …

Whitney Port Blogs About Her Wardrobe Malfunction

"Sorry for the view"
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Yesterday we saw a few photos of Whitney Port and her cohorts from The City basking in the Florida sun on the beaches of Miami Beach over the weekend (where MTV was filming scenes for an upcoming episode). It turns out that there were a few NSFW photos of Whitney in the water with her breasts accidentally exposed. Today, Whitney is addressing her embarrassing wardrobe malfunction in a new post on her official blog:


Okay so a couple photos were captured while I was in Miami that weren’t the most discreet and I’m sorry if they offended anyone but I got too caught up in the sunshine and the weather that I guess I wasn’t as cautious as I should have been. Everyone knows the rough and tumble of the ocean mixed with a bathing suit — not the most attractive thing ever! So sorry for the view…very embarrassing to say the least! I guess all I can do now is laugh about it and move on!

OMG, I am SOOOOO glad she cleared that all up for us! Meh. It happens to most ladies at the beach and at least now Whitney can take pride (?) in the fact that she’s crossed over into Hollywood “It” Girldom now that she’s got her nip slip requirement out of the way. How much do you want to bet that Olivia Palmero, Whitney’s frenemy on The City, not only forwarded those photos to all of her friends, the “socials”, but also had enlargement photos printed out of Whitney’s bare boobs. Oh yeah, you know she did :)

‘My Bloody Valentine 3D’ Gets A New TV Commercial

With special appearance by PITNB correspondent Darion Lowensten
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

My boy Darion is featured in a new TV spot to promote the new horror flick My Bloody Valentine 3D which will begin airing on TV this week. At last week’s premiere screening, the folks at Lionsgate asked audience members to give on-camera reviews and Darion stepped up and spoke on behalf of Pink is the new Blog. Check out the full TV commercial:


I love that Darion’s appearance comes after Wes Craven’s at about the 20 second mark. He did a great job, don’t you think? I opted out of appearing in the ad, choosing instead to gush about how much I loved the film right here on the blog. In fact, Darion, Steph, Alek and I have already secured our tickets to see the movie in 3D again on Thursday night … before it opens wide in theaters on Friday. Let me reiterate how much fun this movie is … the 3D is NOT to be missed. I promise, you’ll have a blast seeing this film — just make sure the theater you go to is showing the film in 3D. Not all theaters will be showing the film in 3D so make sure you don’t miss out. If you end up seeing My Bloody Valentine 3D this weekend, send me some pics of you and your friends wearing the fun 3D glasses … I’ll be sure to post them on the site with the weekly Pink reader pics :)

‘Wrestler’-mania

The TV Guide
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Woot! I’m still pretty geeked on my big news … but with a looming move in the coming weeks, I’m also a bit stressed out too. I’m researching movers to help lessen the stress … I really, really hate moving so I’m trying to find a company that will do it all for me, which is the only way to move. I’ve found a couple of really good potential candidates but if any of y’all have any suggestions, please pass them along. I met with the real estate dude yesterday to drop off my checks for the new place so … come Feb. 1, it’s gonna be ours :)

To celebrate, I met up with Jim for dinner and movie last night but because of time constraints it turned out to be movie and then dinner. First up, we made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood to see The Wrestler:


Because I am a huge Darren Aronofsky fan, I have been really anxious to see this film for weeks now. Watching Mickey Rourke win the Golden Globe for his performance in the film put me over the edge, I had to see it as soon as possible. Man, what an amazing and powerful film. The stark realism in the movie was just really sad from beginning to end but the movie never takes the emotional exploitation too far. The film is a great commentary on how rough life can be for some people and even tho there seems to be no hope left, simple pleasures can make all the difference in the world. You empathize with Rourke’s character, no doubt, but I felt such an affinity for Marisa Tomei’s character as well. I’m shocked she isn’t gettin’ as much love from the critics … she really goes all out for her role and turns in an impeccable performance. She really is the unsung hero of this film. But Mickey Rourke, my gods, he really turns it on in this film … his performance is nothing short of powerful. He will deffo be a contender come Oscar time.

Much love goes out to the very able staff at the ArcLight … my dumbass left my wallet at the concession stand they took care of it for me. I freaked out when I realized I didn’t have my wallet (after the movie was over) and was relieved to know that they had it for me, safe and sound. I saw Kate Bosworth in the lobby with some friends but I was so freaked out about my wallet, I barely paid attention.

After the movie, Jim and I went to Birds for a late dinner and a couple of beers. While we were eating, Brea Grant who plays Daphne (Hiro’s “nemesis” with superspeed) came over to our table to compliment me on Pink is the new Blog. It was very sweet of her to say hello and I’m sending my love out to her today.

Tonight, Darion, Kirsten and I are finally getting together to watch the Dollhouse screener I got last week … we are all very excited :)

Justin Gaston Guest Stars On ‘The Miley & Mandy Show’

Also, new Facebook photos show Jiley lookin' all canoodly
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Miley Cyrus has debuted the latest installment of her ongoing Internet show/program/whatever The Miley & Mandy Show which features a special guest appearance and performance by her 20-year old manfriend and underwear model (not to mention part time crooner) Justin Gaston. Miley and BFF Mandy Jiroux periodically film short You Tube clips and post them online for fans to enjoy and offer an extra special treat in their newest episode. Here are a few screencaps from this particular webisode:


The clip is a bit uncomfortable to watch at first since it kinda feels like Justin doesn’t really want to participate … he shyly looks away from the camera and mumbles his responses to Miley’s queries. It kinda feels like she forced him to appear in the clip. Justin warms up a bit when he performs an original song, which I think is called If She Makes Me Happy, that he wrote which seems to address his relationship with Miley — could it be that she also forced him to write and perform the song for her benefit? Could be. After the jump, check out this episode of The Miley & Mandy Show featuring a guest appearance/performance by Justin Gaston
