Josh Duhamel Is A Handy Hubby To Have Around

And how!
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Here are a few photos of Fergie Ferg’s new hubby Josh Duhamel gettin’ his hands dirty with a real life handyman as the pair tried to figure out a problem on the roof of the newlyweds’ home. For some reason, Josh seems to think that he is qualified to diagnose roofing problems and therefore found it necessary to climb up on the roof like a real pro:


Seriously, all this desperate househusband stuff from Josh is really adorable. Personally, I’m lookin’ forward to the day when Josh thinks he knows anything about plumbing just in the hopes that we might get to see some plumber’s crack from the lad. Yeah, it sounds gross but you know you wanna see it, too ;) As much as I kinda am still miffed that Fergie’s got him, ball and chain and all, I really do love the married Josh Duhamel. Watching him take all these new husband chores is kinda fun. I can’t wait to see what he’ll be doing next.

Kanye West Does ‘Details’ Magazine

"I'm the fucking end-all, be-all of music."
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Kanye West, and his very large head, are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine. In his coverstory, West reveals that his drive for success in the music industry is most likely derived from his “sex addicted” youth … which is all kinds of disturbing on so many levels. But, it’s Kanye West and he is God’s gift to music so … just deal with it. Here is Kanye’s Details magazine coverphoto and a portion of his coverstory interview:


Kanye West is on another magazine cover (this time with a sure-to-be-appreciated gray-free beard) and as usual the rapper turned auto-tune singer turned fashion designer is full of Kanye-isms. To name a few:

“Put this in the magazine: There’s nothing more to be said about music. I’m the f–king end-all, be-all of music.” “Oh my God, I’m one of the greatest rappers in the world. I’ll get on a track and completely ee-nihilate that track, I’ll eat it and rip it in half. I wouldn’t have to think of it.” “I have, like, nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on.”

What other new tales of grandeur might Kanye have added to his repertoire? Just that a sexual addiction at a young age has somehow fueled his drive for greatness… “People ask me a lot about my drive,” he says. “I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex—to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 a.m., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic…” That actually sounds more like normal behavior than a full-blown sexual addiction, but if Kanye says he was a sex addict then he was probably the greatest addict to have ever been addicted to sex in the history of sexual studies. He also notes that he was a highly advanced computer programmer of sexual addiction and produced his first Super Mario Bros.: The Penis Remix in the seventh grade: “My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I’m 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You’d have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, ’cause the penis, y’know, had little feet and eyes.” Cute, right? However, it should be noted that Kanye is over music and penis games as he’s now turning his great sexual addiction nuclear energy exclusively to fashion. He plans on moving to Paris and being mentored by his fashion idol Marc Jacobs. In fact, Yeezy is so into M.J., he intentionally left the designer’s number on the table for his Details interviewer to see. After all, what’s the point in being subtle now?

LOL! Kanye West is just a really funny man to listen to when he’s spoutin’ off. I love the Cyclops comment … except, someone should prolly tell him that Cyclops‘ nuclear power comes from his eyes when he takes off his sunglasses, not puts them on. And, you gotta wonder why it is so important for him to talk about that sexual video game he came up with in the 7th grade … I mean, really. It sounds a lot like when Kenny Chesney started bragging about having sex with “over 100 women” to try and get people to believe that he isn’t gay. It just sounds too contrived.

And since we’re on the gay tip, Kanye also waxes on the state of Gaydom in this new Details magazine interview. Altho he’s never been to a gay bar (and would NEVER go to one), he does reveal that he’s got love for his gay brethren. After the jump, check out two more photos of Kanye from this issue of Details and read about his thoughts on gayness

NIN Fans Ready The Release Of Nine Inch Nails Tour DVD

'Another Version of the Truth' is on the way
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Early this year, Trent Reznor announced the availability of over 400 Gb of raw concert footage from the previous Nine Inch Nails tour Lights in the Sky Over North America. Because this footage had “mysteriously” made its way to the Internets, fans were encouraged to take it and turn it into something … cool. A band of industrious NIN fans launched the website ThisOneIsOnUs.org and began orchestrating a fan-driven enterprise to put together a tour DVD to be disseminated to fans since TR’s old record company put the kibosh on his plans to release an official tour DVD of his own. In the past month or so, a name was voted on for the tour DVD and Another Version of the Truth was selected. Just last week, the official artwork was selected … check it out:


The winning artwork was created by Brent Bartley who had this to say about his winning design:

“I am surprised and thankful to have my design chosen for this release. I entered this without any sort of expectation, as there were many great designs to chose from, so I am truly appreciative to those who voted. A little about myself…I am an independent musician from Toronto, Ontario, recording under the name Perplexity of Things. I like Star Wars, horror films and Seinfeld. That pretty much sums me up… As for Nine Inch Nails, I’ve been a fan for quite some time. In fact, the first band I’ve ever seen live was Nine Inch Nails during the Outside tour in ‘95 – which is a complete blur to me now. I’ve seen the band many times since, with the best being from the LITS tour. So I am thrilled to be a part of this project and can’t wait to see it on Blu ray! Thanks again” – Brent

I am so impressed by all the hard work that these NIN fans have put into this project, I have no doubt the final product will do Trent Reznor very proud. Folks interested in getting a copy of this DVD when it is made available (I understand sometime around the end of March — be sure to follow the project’s progress by following the This One Is On Us Twitter feed HERE) can head over to ThisOneIsOnUs.org for more information on securing a copy (I believe that it will be made available for FREE, any cost at all will only cover shipping). While I am bummed that TR was not allowed to create the tour DVD he had planned to make (I understand the plan was for the DVD to be presented in 3D) I have full faith that the folks at This One Is On Us will put out an amazing tour DVD.

Vicki B. Breezes Thru NY Fashion Week

In N Out
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Victoria Beckham made a brief appearance at NY Fashion Week this week after flying in from Europe to quietly debut her dVb Fall ‘09 collection to select folks and then make a showy appearance at the opening of the new Armani store on 5th Ave. in Manhattan last night. Here are a few photos of VB as she showed off her stick-thin figure on the Armani opening red carpet last night:


VB does look pretty fab in this sexy little number … I just wish she had a bit more meat on those tiny bones. She really does look like a mannequin … which isn’t necessarily a good thing. Vicki B.’s stay in NYC was brief as she already packed her shizz and left the Big Apple early this morning. After the jump, check out VB’s interesting travel attire that she showed off at JFK Airport earlier today …

Rachel Bilson & Hayden Christensen Are Gettin’ Hitched

The couple have been secretly engaged since December!
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Congratulations are in order for Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen … it is being reported today that the couple are engaged to be wed — and have been since December! The couple have kept the news quiet … until now. RayDen are gettin’ hitched, y’all:


Rachel Bilson and her longtime beau, Hayden Christensen, got engaged quietly over the holidays, PEOPLE has learned. According to a friend of the actress, the two, who costarred in 2008’s Jumper, got engaged in December. “They’re so excited,” says the pal, adding that no wedding date has been set. “They’re a great couple. Rachel seems thrilled beyond belief.” When contacted, Bilson’s rep told PEOPLE, “I don’t comment on my clients’ personal lives.” A rep for Christensen could not immediately be reached for comment. The engagement news was first reported by the New York Post’s Page Six.

According to Page Six, Rachel was spied wearing a huge engagement ring and when asked by a fellow passenger on a plane whether or not she was married confessed that she was merely engaged:

A Page Six spy spotted Bilson on a Virgin America flight from LA to JFK Monday night with her mom and tells us the actress is engaged to longtime beau Hayden Christensen. “A man sitting in front of her on the plane saw a ring on her finger and asked if she was married,” said our snitch, who overheard Bilson reply, “I’m not married yet, just engaged. I know I look like I’m 15, but I’m actually 27.”

Truth be told, I never really saw Rachel and Hayden sticking it out for the long run but I am very glad to see that they proved me wrong. Love should always be celebrated, well … almost always. While I STILL wish that Rachel was attached to her former boyfriend Adam Brody, I wish her and Hayden nothing but a lifetime of happiness together!!! Congrats!!

3 Is A Magic Number

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Yesterday was David’s and my 3 Year Anniversary and unlike anniversaries past, we decided to NOT take a trip and spend our anni in our new home together :) Our living sitch has been a long time coming so we are just happy to be settling in our new home together without having to jet off to any exotic destinations. Yesterday afternoon, David surprised me with a romantic picnic lunch that he put together … along with a nice bouquet of roses! For dinner, we made our way to XIV for a sumptuous 10-course meal of deliciousness. Here are a few photos from our big day yesterday:


Dinner was fab … it was David’s first visit to the eatery and he really enjoyed it. We were happy to share our anniversary dinner with Rosario Dawson who was also dining at XIV last night. It was really nice of her not to come over and bother us for photos/autographs while we ate ;) Today is the first day of Year 4 of our relationship … my, how time flies.

Tonight, I’m meeting up with my friends Kirsten, Amber and Adam to see Coraline in 3D. None of them have seen the film yet and this is the LAST WEEK to see it in 3D. Very soon, the stupid Jonas Bros. movie will be taking over the 3D theaters across the country. If YOU have not yet seen Coraline in 3D you MUST see it in the next week … before the opportunity is gone.
