Last month I posted a pretty cool movie poster that was believed to be a new promo poster for the upcoming action flick G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (based on the wildly successful toy, cartoon, comics line) but, in fact, turned out to be merely a fan creation. Today we get a batch of 6 new movie posters that are the real, genuine deal. Here is the official G.I. Joe movie poster that features Channing Tatum (or a very nice body double) as Sgt. Duke Hauser:

Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, whose previous collaboration was the worldwide blockbuster “Transformers,” join forces with Spyglass Entertainment for another extraordinary action-adventure “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.” From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos. The film stars Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, Marlon Wayans, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Still no sign of Cobra Commander (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) but the first movie trailer for G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra will make its debut during the Superbowl this Sunday … mebbe we’ll get a peek at him this weekend? After the jump, check out 4 more posters that feature The Baroness (the first of two posters that feature a member of Cobra), Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Ripcord and Storm Shadow (the second Cobra member) …

Yesterday the Live Nation website published a new list of tourdates implying without actually announcing that Madonna would be resuming her Sticky & Sweet World Tour this Summer. Almost as soon as the dates went online they were pulled off the site. Today, Madonna.com has been updated with the following message:

Madonna 2009 European Tour
2009-01-27 15:05:51

The rumors are true! Madonna will tour Europe this summer.

Stay tuned for details later this week.

This is great news for fans in Europe (and possibly the far East) who were unable to see her Sticky & Sweet Tour the first time around (or just want to see it again). No other information has been made available at this point … there’s no way of knowing what, if any, changes will be made in the show or with the setlist. After the jump, check out the full list of tourdates that were posted online yesterday but were immediately taken down — see if Maddy is bringing her tour to YOUR city this Summer …

Ruh roh! As I mentioned in a newslink earlier today, it appears that there is trubs ahead for soccer star David Beckham (who is currently wowing soccer fans in Italy these days) … a paparazzo named Emicles Da Mata has filed a lawsuit against Becks and his bodyguard in LA Superior Court for allegedly assaulting him this past December. Da Mata immediately took photos of his injuries after the incident (which, to me, only shows that he got dirty … not that he got his ass beat) as proof of the alleged attack. Vicki B., who is home in SoCal with her children, refused to make a statement on the suit when asked for comment:

No paparazzi-avoiding deed goes unpunished, it seems. David Beckham has been sued by a disgruntled photographer who was roughed up last month by one of the soccer star’s bodyguards after Beckham confronted the shutterbug in an attempt to get him off his famous back. Emicles Da Mata claims he suffered serious injury at the hands of Beckham’s right-hand man, stating in court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court that on Dec. 7 the bodyguard beat him repeatedly, grabbed his camera and threw it in a trash can. An eyewitness told E! News at the time that Da Mata had been trailing Beckham and wife Victoria when the Brit got out of his car and approached the paparazzo’s vehicle, enticing him to come out. Per our source,when Da Mata refused to budge, Beckham’s muscle went around to the passenger side and started throwing punches. “They just can’t do this,” Da Mata said. “They put me on the floor, they got my camera and they threw it in the trash can. They can’t do this to us.” A police report was taken at the scene, but no criminal charges were ever filed in the incident. Da Mata is claiming assault, battery and emotional distress, and is asking for unspecified damages, per TMZ.com, which first reported the suit. Beckham’s bodyguard has also been named as a defendant.

It’s tough (and dirty) work being a paparazzo. Without going into the right and wrongness of the work of paparazzi here in SoCal, I’m not sure it’s very legal for somone to reach into a vehicle and beat on someone … if, in fact, that is what happened. On the other hand, it could be percieved that the pap is lookin’ to make a quick buck (don’t be surprised if a monetary settlement is reached). You can’t really blame VB for staying mum on the subject … she might not even be aware of any lawsuit. Personally, I’m more disturbed by the rumors that David Beckham is considering a permanent move to Italy to play for AC Milan on a more permanent basis:

David Beckham’s future in Major League Soccer was plunged even deeper into doubt today when AC Milan said it was prepared to sign the Galaxy midfielder. Adriano Galliani, the Italian club’s general manager, said that if Beckham could negotiate his way out of his five-year contract with MLS, he would be welcomed “with open arms” by the seven-time European champion. Galliani told the Associated Press that Milan officials would meet with Beckham’s representatives in the next few days. It was clear, however, that the onus on getting out from under his contract would be left with Beckham and his advisors. “We have to see what happens,” Galliani told Sky Sports Italia. “If he manages to free himself from his contract with [the] Galaxy, then we will be waiting for him with open arms. “The player wants to stay with us, but he knows he has to return” to Los Angeles in March under terms of the Galaxy’s loan agreement with Milan. We will buy him if he frees himself. Beckham will be happy as he has returned to play in a big club. The player and his representatives know that Milan are willing to buy him on a permanent basis.” Neither MLS, which negotiates all player contracts, nor AEG, which owns the Galaxy, had any immediate statement on Tuesday’s developments. On Monday, Galaxy Coach Bruce Arena had criticized Milan officials, and indirectly Beckham, for comments being made in Italy. “I’m not sure if it’s appropriate for club officials at the biggest clubs in the world to be making comments without having contact with us,” Arena said, referring also to suggestions by Bayern Munich that it would like to keep on-loan Galaxy forward Landon Donovan in Germany. “We can’t be responsible tor comments by managers, club presidents, lawyers [and] players. We did things properly, ethically, and we’re going to hold up the loan agreement,” Arena said. This would not be the first time the Galaxy has been left out of the loop, however. Beckham’s loan to AC Milan caught the Galaxy unaware and was presented to MLS virtually as a fait accompli in November by Beckham’s representatives. The Galaxy could hold Beckham to his contract, which has three years remaining. In that case, Milan would back off, Galliani said. “If the Galaxy were to decide not to release him, then they won’t release him,” Galliani told Sky TV today. “In America, they have the same rules as European football. The player has a contract. But having said that, we’ll have to wait and see.” Simon Oliveira, Beckham’s London-based spokesman, told Reuters last week that there had been no discussions with Milan about retaining the player. “David is enjoying his time in Milan, but he is contracted to return on March 9th to L.A. It still stands and absolutely no conversations have taken place regarding changing that,” Oliveira said.

I would be CRUSHED beyond words if Becks did leave LA for Milan. I can’t imagine that AC Milan could afford to to buy out his very expensive contract. I’m quite surprised that the folks over in Italy are so unprofessionally talking about these sorts of matters publicly before any decisions have been made. This would be the second time that big mouths within the AC Milan management have blabbed to the press before anything has been decided. I refuse to believe they’ll be able to pony up the money to steal Becks away. The LA Galaxy better hold on to their golden boy. The Galaxy and MLS Soccer as a whole really can’t afford to lose a star like David Beckham.

Paris Hilton is currently in London, England making the social rounds there but this past weekend she paid a visit to the Craft & Hobby Association‘s 2009 Winter Trade Show which was held in Anaheim, CA to promote her new line of … get this … Scrapbooking kits. Yes, folks, that’s right … the hotel heiress, who gained fame and fortune by releasing a sex tape all those years ago, is venturing into the wild world of Scrapbooking … and she wants you to venture forth with her:

You gotta love the tagline on the box that reads, Born for Luxury. If this new line of hobby products sells well, I think we can expect to see Paris dip her entrepreneurial toes into the waters of crocheting, candle making and quilting. After all, Paris Hilton is a name that is associated with excellence and quality — and stay-at-home hobby fun! Whatever will she think of next?

Yuck! When last Avril Lavigne‘s clothing line Abbey Dawn, which is sold at Kohl’s department stores here in the States, surfaced in public, it was inflicting its cruel torture on the good people of Japan at a fashion show in Harajuku, Tokyo last September. It pains me to report that Abbey Dawn has made its way back to the US and will be featured in a new ad campaign that is being shot here in SoCal this week. Here are a few photos of Avril wearing Abbey Dawn on the set of her latest promo ad photoshoot yesterday afternoon:

Yeesh … the clothes are pretty bad but WTF? is up with the beehive? It looks like Avril is getting some really, really bad styling advice from someone who appears to hate her. She looks so tragic … but, then again, I’m sure these threads are bringing her in quite a nice bit of change. In these trying economic times, I can’t blame her for capitalizing wherever she can. That said, she could try and class up the whole line, I think. The yellow outfit isn’t too wretched … she just needs to learn how to edit … and burn that beehive weave. Does any of this appeal to any of y’all?

Packing at my apartment is slooooooow going … it’s more a matter of pulling everything out of closets and drawers so that I can determine what needs to get pitched before I start the actual packing. OY! Moving is a pain but the purging is a good exercise for me.

I finally got around to scanning some of the Polaroid photos that I’ve been taking the past few months. I’ve taken well over 200 photos but simply cannot muster up the wherewithal to scan them all. Trust me, they’re not all great … but I did manage to snap a few very cool ones. Last week, I mentioned that I snapped a self portrait that I modeled on one of Andy Warhol‘s self portrait Polaroid photos (which appears in The Polaroid Book, a gift from David for Xmas) … here is a comparison of the original Warhol and my take on it:

The camera in my photo is a 1977 Polaroid One Step with Q Light attachment, which was a gift from David’s mother. She knew that I’ve been collecting Polaroids so she gave me the family’s very well-preserved old Polaroid camera as a gift. It’s not too bad, I don’t think. I’ve uploaded the 30+ Polaroids that are my faves and have been scanned for sharing HERE. Incidentally, David also got me the book Polaroids by Robert Mapplethorpe for Xmas (a nod to the actual exhibit of the photos that we saw in person at the Whitney Museum in NY last September). As much as I can appreciate Mapplethorpe‘s photos, I don’t think I’ll be mimicking his self portraits (those of you familiar with his photography understand what I’m getting at). In any event, there you have it … I have recently procured other Polaroid cameras that use different kinds of Instant Film. I’m just now branching out with using different film formats now.

BUT … all of that really has to take a backseat to the main issue at hand — the move. We are at t-minus 5 days and counting …

Chelsy Davy, now ex-girlfriend to Prince Harry, was spotted in the company of a few friends at Leeds University this week lookin’ happy, boisterous and frighteningly orange just days after it was announced that SHE broke up with HIM after 5 years together. I’m not sure what the hell is going on here … is it make-up? Is it a fake tan? Is it sweet potato pie? Whatever it is that Chelsy‘s got goin’ on on her face … it’s not very attractive:

Chelsy Davy has returned to Leeds University looking decidedly orange days after her split with Prince Harry was announced. The 23-year-old student had applied a deep layer of fake tan – possibly to perk up her complexion following several nights of soul-searching over the collapse of her five-year romance. A bronzed Davy smiled for the cameras after leaving her student house in Leeds to walk to class with a group of friends shortly after 9.30am. Dressed in skintight jeans, tasselled black boots and a leather bomber jacket, she actually looked as if she was going for a night out on the town rather than a day studying law at the city’s university. Her message seemed clear: Life after Harry goes on. The couple split following his decision to throw himself into his new career, training to be an Army Air Corps helicopter pilot. As the Mail revealed yesterday, Zimbabwe-born Miss Davy, currently studying for a post-graduate degree in law, is equally determined to plough ahead with her career. Royal sources say the parting was amicable and the pair will remain friends.

As a new friend to Chelsy, I think it would be ace if Prince Harry rang up his former flame and let her know that she needs to lay off on the orange. In all honesty, it’s going to be very difficult for the poor dear to find someone to date who is more of a catch than an British Royal Prince … and her efforts are not aided by the fact that she looks like a yam. OY!

Hawt dad Jude Law ventured out in NYC with his youngest children Iris and Rudy this week for a little lunch date in SoHo … here are a few pics of the happy trio as they made their way thru the streets together, hand-in-hand:

As much as I enjoy seeing photos of hawt Jude in various states of undress or all dolled up in his Dr. Watson finery, I think I really prefer seeing picks of Daddy Jude doing daddy duty. He never looks quite as happy as he does when he’s in the company of his children. Totally swoon-worthy, right?

When last we saw new papa Ricky Martin he was posing on the cover of People En Español magazine introducing his twin sons Matteo and Valentino to the world. Since then, father and sons have been keeping a relatively low profile out of the public eye. At last, the Martin men have surfaced in NYC where they were spied enjoying a brisk winter stroll in Central Park last week:

Despite the frigid temps, Ricky thought it would be nice to bundle up his boys and pack them into a baby stroller to push them around in the cold NYC weather … tho, I’m not sure why. In any event, it appears that Ricky is happily enjoying his new role as single dad. I seem to recall that Ricky was seriously dating some chick a couple of years ago but we don’t hear very much about any love interest in his life these days. I wonder whatever happened to that chick? Since Ricky‘s sons were born via gestational surrogacy, I assume the woman who bore the children is not at all involved with Ricky or the twins at all. HMMM. Clearly, Ricky heeded the call of his biological clock and decided to take on fatherhood all on his own. I wonder if he will ever find true, honest love. As wonderful as being a parent is, I’m sure, I hope he is able to be honest with himself and find that special someone to share his life and his new family with.
