Going To The Dentist Can Be Fun!

"Is this real life?"
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

My dear friend Ollie Twittered the funniest video I’ve seen in a very long time and I feel incumbent to share it with all y’all. Here is video of a young boy talking to his father after having a tooth pulled … as you’ll see, the poor little guy was still feeling the effects of the laughing gas that was administered to him. Trust me, the vid is worth watching in full to the end:


Cheers to the industrious father who decided to share this awesome video with the world! This has to be my fave amateur You Tube video of all time (tho THIS video of Aretha Franklin’s Inauguration back-up singer is pretty hilarious, too). LOL!!!! Doesn’t going to the dentist look like so much fun?

Ed Westwick & Jessica Szohr Get Amorous At Madison Square Garden

Spotted!
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Earlier today we saw photos of Leighton Meester lockin’ lips with one of her Gossip Girl co-stars on the snowy NYC set of their show yesterday afternoon … and now we get to see a few pics of a couple of other GG stars lockin’ lips off set last night as well. Ed Westwick (who plays Chuck Bass) and Jessica Szohr (who plays Vanessa Abrams) were very open about flaunting their romantic relationship at Madison Square Garden in NYC last night at the NY Knicks vs. LA Lakers game … behold:


Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are definitely dating. The Gossip Girl costars engaged in rare PDA Monday night, smooching on the lips at the New York Knicks-Los Angeles Lakers Game in NYC. They appeared affectionate through the night, with Westwick often whispering into Szohr’s ear and cracking jokes with her all night. The two have tried to keep their romance under wraps. Asked who she’ll be kissing on New Years, Szohr recently told Usmagazine.com, “My boyfriend, if I had one! Maybe I’ll find out. The two were first spotted smooching at a Dallas airport in late November after spending Thanksgiving with Chace Crawford’s family.

There have been rampant rumors that Ed and Jessica have been dating for weeks now but I believe this is the first solid proof of their togetherness. Admittedly, they make an odd couple (mainly because I associate them with the characters they play on Gossip Girl) but they seem very happy. Ed looks about as thrilled to wrap his lips around Jessica’s tongue as he is to wrap them around that beer bottle. I think it’s awesome that Cheech Marin was sitting right behind them and got to watch them “interact” up close. LOL! So now we know for sure that Ed and Jessica are knockin’ boots off set, just like Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have been doing for months now. I love that Gossip Girl gives the drama off screen as well as on screen. What do y’all think of this new couple? Do we approve?

Katie Holmes & Suri Go For A Walk In Brazil

Plot escape?
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Here are a couple photos of Katie Holmes and her robotic daughter Suri Holmes-Cruise taking a break from Tom Cruise as they strolled together on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil yesterday (you may recall that TomKat are in South America to do some promo work for his new film Valkyrie) … and it looks like they tried to make a break for it:


I don’t believe that little Suri is programmed for escape cuz … well, her little robot legs didn’t let her escape. I understand that Xenu-lovin’ friends of Tom jumped out of the bushes with nets and dragged gently encouraged Katie and Suri back to their pen hotel room. Ah well, better luck next time!

The Terminator Gets A Downgrade

First look at the T-600 in 'Terminator: Salvation'
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Here is our first look at the upgraded downgraded and much bulkier Terminator T-600 as it will be featured in the upcoming film Terminator: Salvation, starring Christian Bale as John Connor. As you can see, this “older” version of the Terminator model (which is, I think, newer than the models we saw in Terminator, T-2: Judgment Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) looks much more heavy duty than ever before … due to the time travel elements in the storyline, even tho this is the “newest” Terminator that we’ve seen, it’s older than the previous models (which came from further in the future):


Honestly, as scary as this bad ass robot looks, it pales in comparison to how scary Christian Bale sounded on the set of Terminator: Salvation. In case you missed it the first time, you can click HERE to hear what I’m talking about. Despite Christian’s flare up on set, I still heart him and I am very much looking forward to this new action flick.

Michael Phelps Surfaces After Marijuana Pipe Photo Scandal

Phelpsie replaces his bong with a beefy bodyguard
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Michael Phelps is finally showing his face again in public after scandal broke this past weekend in the wake of a leaked photo of the 14-time Olympic Gold Medalist puffin’ on a humongous marijuana pipe (more commonly referred to as a bong). One day after the photo hit the Internets, Phelps released a statement thru his representatives that expressed his regret over the behavior exhibited in the aforementioned photo. Today, for the first time since the photo came out, Phelps showed up at a Baltimore swimming complex with a beefy bodyguard in tow:


As you might imagine, Phelpsie wasn’t really in a talking mood … he refused to respond to questions that were thrown out at him by photogs and had to be quickly escorted into the building by his husky minder. It remains to be see what, if any, consequences will come from that image damaging photo … but one thing’s certain, for now, Phelps ain’t got nothing to say. Which is OK … his photo has already inspired 1,000+ words on his behalf.

Digging Out From Under

The TV Guide
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

OY! The unpacking and settling is slow going but David and I are gettin’ stuff unpacked and put away slowly but surely. We’re still trying to get our bearings in our new, bigger home … it’s fun. We both spent most of yesterday working and only got out of the house well after dark (he went to the gym, I ran to Target). Nothing really exciting to update, this is pretty much it … today we’re gonna try and get out of the house to, first, enjoy the beautiful weather and secondly to take care of more errands. We have a bunch of stuff left to take care of and STILL have a bunch of boxes to unpack. OH yeah, and David’s stuff hasn’t even arrived from NYC yet :) Yes, we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us … but we’re getting there. Nesting is fun, so far.
