Battlestar Galactica, the amazing sci-fi remake of the original 1970’s TV series, returns tonight with the final new episodes of the second half of the final season. Last June, the series ended on a pretty cool cliffhanger and tonight the series returns to the Sci-Fi Channel to finish telling the tale:

I admit, my dumbass was not “in the know” about this series until just this past Summer. I had heard how amazing it was but never invested the time to get to know the show. For my birthday, Kirsten got me the first season of the show and I was hooked like a mofo. I watched the entire series up to the point were it left off last June in the weeks that followed, loving every minute of it. I am SO excited for new eps … even tho I’m very sad the series is ending, I can’t wait to see how the whole story wraps up. Those of you who watch the show know how UNBELIEVABLE the last new ep that aired in June was … I’m just totally anxious to see how things pick up tonight. There are only 10 episodes left in the entire series … you don’t want to miss a single thing. Battlestar Galactica airs tonight at 10PM on Sci-Fi. How many of y’all will be tuning in to watch tonight with me?

Fergie Ferg, who is currently on honeymoon with her new hubby Josh Duhamel (who were wed here in SoCal last weekend) is featured in a new ad campaign for MAC Cosmetics ongoing Viva Glam collection that sells special edition cosmetics to raise money to combat AIDS. Here is our first look at Fergie’s newest campaign ad:

You may recall that Fergie joined MAC’s Viva Glam campaign last February, so this is actually her second time at the rodeo (click HERE to see her previous ad photo). This time around, tho, she is not alone. Famed entertainer Dame Edna is also featured in her own Viva Glam campaign …

… but this photo is NOT part of that campaign. I did see Dame Edna’s new glammed out photo in the pages of the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine (the one with Cate Blanchett on the cover) but I couldn’t find it online. Even still, you can click HERE to visit her page on the MAC website and watch an interview with Dame Edna talking to Simon Doonan about the campaign. You can also see the Dame Edna-themed products (complete with her trademark glasses embossed on them) that are available for sale. I, for one, don’t know shizz about make-up but I fully support MAC’s Viva Glam campaign because it raises money to fight AIDS. I think that if you’re gonna buy make-up, why not support a company that uses some of the money they make for such a worthy cause.

And how good of me was it that I didn’t even make the drag queen joke about Fergie? That’s her wedding gift from me ;)

Courtney Love is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Heeb magazine, a matter that Page Six of The New York Post took notice of, and speaks very candidly to the magazine about things as varied as dating tips, parenting and … well … Jews:

Page Six went so far as to accuse of Courtney of being anti-Semitic in her coverstory, saying:

COURTNEY Love claims she’s not taking drugs anymore, but you wouldn’t know it from comments she made in the Jewish magazine Heeb. Love, whose mother is Jewish but who describes herself as Buddhist, says of ex-husband Kurt Cobain’s legacy: “Every time you buy a Nirvana record, part of that money is not going to Kurt’s child, or to me, it’s going to a handful of Jew loan officers, Jew private banks, it’s going to lawyers who are also bankers . . .” The former Hole singer also mused on why she’s given up playing in an all-girl band: “Like, there are [bleep]ing riot grrls sitting there banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas, and that’s all really lovely, but the music blows.” On why she won’t date actors: “They’re [bleep]. They’re women.” And on being a parent: “I’m more like, ‘You’re not going to do that, so [bleep] off, or I’m taking your computer, and your [bleep]ing, you know, BlackBerry.’”

Heeb magazine, in response, speaks up in her defense, saying:

Today, Page Six ran an item on our recent interview with Courtney Love and focused on her purported “anti-Semitic ravings.” The evidence? A line half-way through the 5,550 word piece … Page Six, to its credit, makes mention of the fact that Ms. Love also explores her Jewish heritage in the interview—to be sure, these are not “anti-Semitic ravings” of the Mel Gibson variety. Unfortunately, it seemed not to matter too much to the editors of Page Six that the remarks made by this woman of Jewish background were being made in the context of a Jewish conversation in a Jewish magazine. Like it or not—and over the seven years we’ve been publishing Heeb we’ve found that many do not, but the simple fact remains: This is how Jews talk to Jews.

Personally, I do not believe that Courtney is anti-Semitic … I just think she’s a bit crazy … I mean, only a crazy woman would venture out in public looking the way that C. Love did here in SoCal last night:

But hey, she’s just being Courtney. Click HERE to read Court’s Heeb interview in full so YOU can determine if she harbors any feelings of anti-Semitism. Again, I’m gonna stick with the she’s crazy excuse and just wait for her to write her next blogpost.

Yeah, and that new album of hers should be along any day now …

Early last week we learned that Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell became the proud parents of twin daughters in late December that they named Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. The very next day we spied Jerry making his exit from the hospital, proudly showing off his baby girls’ footprints … then, last Friday we saw pics of Jerry making a diaper run for his newborn daughters. Earlier today, Jerry played co-host on Live with Regis and Kelly and he just so happened to bring along a photo of Dolly Rose and Charlie Tulip, which he happily shared with the live TV audience:

Jerry O’Connell is one proud papa. So proud, in fact, that the actor cannot help but show off baby pictures on national television. “I don’t want to be one of those guys who is like, ‘Look at my babies,’ ” O’Connell, 34, said, joking with Kelly Ripa while cohosting Live with Regis and Kelly on Friday. “The second you have kids, you can’t help but be like, ‘I happen to have some photos of my children.’ ” The actor and wife Rebecca Romijn welcomed twin girls, Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip, on Dec. 28. Since becoming a first-time dad, O’Connell is learning a lot – and has become a bit health and hygiene-obsessed. “I do wash my hands all the time,” he said, noting that he also picked up one important tip: How to properly change his daughters’ diapers and wipe. “Front to back,” O’Connell noted, prompting laughs from Ripa and the audience. One other tip to parents: Speak to children like they are adults. “I really try to not speak in baby talk,” he said. “I want them to be intelligent.” As for his growing family, O’Connell said he’s super-thrilled that he has twins. “These are my first kids and Rebecca’s first kids, and you can’t imagine just have one. It’s so much fun to have two of them. You throw them in the crib and they just play with each other.” The actor also credited his wife for being so hands on. “I have to give a lot of kudos to my wife,” he told Ripa. “[She] is now waking up every three hours and doing what we call the ‘Double Football,’ ” O’Connell said. “They eat at the same time!”

Oh my … these babies are so cute!! I’m not sure which one is which but they both look like little tiny peas in a pod. I’m sure that Jerry and Rebecca are OVER THE MOON with happiness right now. After the jump, check out a short video clip of Jerry showing off his baby girls on Live earlier today …

Last night Steph, Alek, Darion and I made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood, CA for the 10PM screening of My Bloody Valentine 3D which opens in theaters all across the country today. Altho Darion and I already saw the movie in 3D last week at the film’s Hollywood premiere, we were both anxious to see it again … and to bring a couple of our best friends along for the fun:

The movie was just as fun the second time around … Steph and Alek had a blast as they loved the film, too! I’m tellin’ ya … seeing MBV in 3D is a damn good time at the movies, I hope all y’all get to check it out this weekend. Remember, snap a pic of you and your friends rockin’ the fancy 3D glasses and send them in … I’ll try to post them with the weekly Pink reader photo submissions :)

In other 3D movie news, Coraline is the next fun movie that will be presented in 3D when it hits theaters on February 6. Coraline is based on the book by Neil Gaiman (as y’all know, one of my FAVE contemporary authors) and tells the tale of a small girl who wishes for a new life, with a new more understanding mother and ends up getting her wish — much to her detriment, as she soon learns. The film is directed by Henry Selick, the man who brought us the amazing film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Coraline will be presented in the very same style … and IN 3D!

The team working on Corlaine’s film release handcrafted 50 unique boxes and sent them out to some very lucky folks in order to promote the film. I was one of the lucky folks selected to receive one of these boxes, here are a few photos:

I am very lucky to receive quite a few promotional materials but I have never received something so unique and special. That the tie-in is with a book from one of my favorite authors is just too much for words. Those of you familiar with the story of Coraline know the significance of buttons to the tale … this box full of buttons in tiny specimen jars is really damn cool. There were 49 other boxes created as well, click HERE to see some of those creations. THIS blog offers a bunch of really cool information on the film (including other photos of these special boxes) for those of you interested in learning more. After the jump, check out the film’s trailer to see just what’s in store in Neil Gaiman and Henry Slenick’s world of Coraline …

Head over to THIS Kelly fan forum to see these images (along with the cover artwork for her new single My Life Would Suck Without You) in ginormous, high res quality. She looks pretty swank in these photos … I love how her bling has that extra little sparkle that can only come from Photoshop manipulation. As I mentioned before, I am very much looking forward to hearing more from Kelly’s new album. These new promo pics are a great way to get geared up for her new disc.
