The poster for the new straight-to-DVD sequel to the indie cult hit Donnie Darko, titled S. Darko, has been revealed …

… as has the film’s first movie trailer. Much like the film Donnie Darko, there is a whole lotta WTF is goin’ on? in this first look at the upcoming sequel (due to hit DVD stores in April). After the jump, watch the trailer in full — it’s kinda long and totally incomprehensible …

While Vicki B. and her boys were bizzy celebrating Cruz Beckham‘s 4th birthday with a superhero-themed party at a martial arts studio in North Hollywood, CA yesterday, Jennifer Lopez and her crew were bizzy celebrating the 1st birthday of her twin babies Max and Emme who turn one year old today. Here is an aerial photo from the twins’ fête yesterday afternoon and a rundown of what went down:

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony celebrated their 1-year-old twins Max and Emme with a birthday party at their Bel Air home on Saturday. About 50 guests, including Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and their daughter Harlow, 1, joined the casual afternoon party, which started at about 1 p.m. Several guests were seen arriving with gifts in Elmo and Disney bags. Others brought stuffed animals and “Happy Birthday” balloons in festive shapes and colors. The backyard, where the party was held, was decorated with festive metallic silver balloons and a blue-and-red color theme. Two moonbouncers, a clown and upbeat music entertained guests, who were served non-alcoholic slush drinks provided by The Margarita Man. Guests sang “Happy Birthday” while a cake decorated with candles from Rosebud Cakes was presented. Max and Emme’s actual birthday is [today].

Man … I can hardly believe it’s been a YEAR already since J. Lo gave birth to her first born children. Where has the time gone? 2008 was a big year for the birth of celeb babies … so this is just the start of a year full of first birthdays (tho, Harlow Winter‘s bday last month really got things underway). After the jump, check out a few close-up shots from yesterday’s party — including a few of the birthday twins, Max & Emme, themselves …

This evening, David and I will be hosting a small group of friends to watch the Academy Awards at our home and we spent much of yesterday taking care of preparations for the shindig. We ran a few errands for decorations, drinks and food and spent much of last night tidying up. It was my job to put together the fun giftbags that each of our guests will be going home with:

And we’ve got pretty fun prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners of our Guess the Oscar Winners game. We also have an area set up for arrivals photos and I plan to take snaps of the winners with their prizes … should be fun!!! I hope all y’all are having a great day today … and be sure to send in your pics if any of y’all have Oscar parties tonight :)

Time again for our weekly dose of Hot Dude of the Weekness. Sometimes, the Hot Dude of the Week is so shameless in his body worship that you just have to have a good laugh at him … not that that really deters from his hawtness. Take, for example, this week’s Hot Dude Jess:

Lord, Jess does look like a cocky one, don’t he? Yeah, sometimes it’s a turn off but sometimes (more than we care to admit) the attitude can be a bit of a turn on. Truth be told, this Weekend Hotness thing I like to do around here is so gratuitous that cocky attitude or not really doesn’t matter … as long as the mens are hawt and half nekkid ;) In this instance with Jess, that would be check and check. Enjoy!!

Earlier this week we saw a few photos of Beckham brothers Cruz and Romeo enjoying a lovely afternoon playdate together at a playground here in SoCal on the eve of Cruz‘s 4th birthday. At the time, I guessed that the little guy might be up for having a costume birthday party on his big day and it looks as if I was right. Here are a few photos of the Beckham kids — Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz — with their mother Vicki B. as they made their way into the XMA Martial Arts studio in North Hollywood, CA yesterday for Cruz‘s birthday shindig:

As you can see, the eldest Beckham child Brooklyn has grown too old to play dress-up with his little brothers. You will also note that Cruz, the little birthday diva, had to be photographed in 2 different superhero costumes on his big day. He went into the studio dressed as Wolverine and came out dressed as Iron Man. Romeo, the cool middle child, opted for a classic Batman ensemble for the whole time. Yeah, these kids are SO Beckhams. Incidentally, I should mention that this martial arts studio is just 2 blocks from my old apartment in North Hollywood, CA. It figures, just as I move away the Beckhams come over to play. Much love goes out to Pink reader Francesca who gave me the head’s up that the Beckhams were spotted in NoHo … she writes:

I wanted to let you know that I saw Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria right down the street from my apartment in NOHO…I was driving home when I saw all these paparazzi waiting and I didn’t think anything of it. Then like 3 hours later my friend called and said they were still there so I decided to take a walk. They were there for Victoria’s boys at the Xtreme Martial Arts complex on Lankershim right before Magnolia. On the windows it had a sign that the complex was proud to sponsor Riverside Drive Elementary and all the kids were dressed in superhero costumes. I only managed to get a pic of Victoria from the back because she walked to her car so fast but one of the paparazzi let me take a pic from his camera. It’s funny because even though I saw her in person she didn’t seem real! She didn’t say a word and was very robotic…I didnt think she would be but she was. Her kids are CUTE though! I’m not sure which son walked out in front of her but he was wearing a Beckham jersey and walking like he was the coolest thing haha he had a little attitude!

So fun!!! I’m glad to see that the Beckhams had a great time at their party … and that they deigned to bring a little of their glitz and glamor to North Hollywood. Again, Happy Birthday, Cruz!!!

Various celebs from the world of independent film made their way out to the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA yesterday to attend the annual Film Independent’s Spirit Awards which are traditionally handed out on the eve of the Academy Awards. Honoring independent film and independent filmmakers, the Indies are handed out in a casual and usually celebratory atmosphere … and last night’s awards show was no exception. The Wrestler and the film’s lead Mickey Rourke did very well at this year’s Indies, taking home the top film and male acting prize … setting the stage for a possible repeat at tonight’s Academy Awards. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals and some info on last night’s awards show:

Mickey Rourke and “The Wrestler” have won top honors at the Spirit Awards, the annual eve-of-Oscars salute to the best of independent cinema. Rourke, a nominee at Sunday’s Academy Awards, won the best actor for his performance as a washed-up prizefighter in director Darren Aronofsky’s moving drama, which later scooped the ceremony’s best picture prize. Rourke’s award was the latest in a series of honors that have gone to the 56-year-old, who has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity after his career suffered a prolonged slump through the 1990s. In a typically profanity-laced acceptance speech, Rourke dedicated the win to “Wrestler” director Aronofsky — and his pet chihuahua, who died last week. “I’ve just gotten thousands of letters from strangers and people that know me about my dog that died six days ago, Loki. This is for you baby,” he said. “Thank you Darren Aronofsky for believing in me. Directors like Darren come around every 25 years,” added Rourke. Aronofksy said he had been drawn to the “The Wrestler” because of its subject matter. “Wrestling was a world no one had tackled in a serious way, and the more we looked into that world, the more complex it seemed,” he said. In other awards Saturday, Oscar nominee Melissa Leo won the best actress award for her performance in the human-trafficking drama “Frozen River.” Tom McCarthy meanwhile took best director honors for “The Visitor,” which is notable for helping journeyman Richard Jenkins earn a best actor nomination at Sunday’s Oscars. In the supporting actor and actress categories, Spanish siren Penelope Cruz won for her performance in Woody Allen’s steamy comedy “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” Cruz will be seeking to emulate the success at the Oscars, where she is nominated in the best supporting actress category. “I didn’t expect this,” Cruz said. “I go to all awards like this, not expecting anything, so it’s always a surprise when I win.” Meanwhile James Franco picked up the best supporting actor award for his portrayal of gay politician Harvey Milk’s long-time lover Scott Smith in the Gus Van Sant biopic “Milk,” which also earned best first screenplay for writer Dustin Lance Black. Black later paid tribute to Sean Penn’s portrayal of Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official. “Sean’s performance really captured Harvey,” Black said. “That’s why this film has such a connection beyond gay and lesbian audiences. We need to continue building the coalitions that Harvey was so good at.” In other notable awards Saturday, France’s “The Class (Entre Les Murs)” won the best foreign film, while the best documentary went to “Man on Wire,” director James Marsh’s exhilarating account of Frenchman Philippe Petit’s tight-rope walk between the two towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. “What Philippe did was to stop time, it was a little miracle,” Marsh told reporters.

Altho the Film Indepedent’s Spirit Awards are only 25 years old, I love that there is a place for Indie films to get their due when, overwhelmingly, the Motion Picture Academy tends to overlook many amazing performances due to, well, their indieness. True, some Independent Films and actors get honored at the Academy Awards but, for the most part, name recognition plays a huge part in the voting process. I’m sure many of you have never even heard of the film Frozen River and yet, it was one of the year’s strongest films. After the jump, check out a couple photos from the show itself and some pics of a few winners posing with their Indie trophies in the press room afterward …

Congratulations are in order for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden! According to a new post, written by Joel, published on his blog at GoodCharlotte.com, Nicole is pregs once again with the couple’s second child! Here is a cute family photo, with their first daughter Harlow Winter, that accompanied the news along with the full text of Joel‘s announcement:

What’s better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope your all feeling as good as i am right now………

OMG! I am so happy and thrilled for them!! They must be over the moon with excited happiness. I think everyone is well aware that Nic/Joel make the CUTEST babies and I cannot wait to see their next little darling make his or her debut. My gut tells me that the couple are going to have another girl … not sure why, just a feeling. Let’s send all our love and congrats to Nicole, Harlow and Joel today and wish them much happiness with baby #2. Congrats!!!

The final preparations for the 81st Annual Academy Awards are underway at the Kodak Theater at Hollywood and Highland Blvds. in Hollywood, CA this gloomy Sunday as we begin counting down the final hours to Hollywood’s Biggest Day. In an effort to drum up ratings and get more people to watch this year’s Oscars, producers are promising all sorts of changes to the show’s usual format in an effort to shake things up and get people interested. To be honest, their selection of hottie Hugh Jackman as host is enough to get me to tune in :) Here are a few photos from the Kodak Theater as Oscar prep continues and some deets about what we can expect from this year’s telecast:

Psst: Have you heard that the Oscars are going to be a little … well, different this year? Oh. You have. The worst-kept secret in Hollywood this awards season has been how first-time producers Laurence Mark and Bill Condon, in a bid to build buzz and bounce back from last year’s ratings nadir, are keeping their Oscars overhaul plans a secret. From promising sweeping format changes without elaborating to shrouding presenters’ identities and shutting the press out of rehearsals, they’ve largely succeeded. At the secrecy part, anyway. “When (the producers) told me what they were going to do, I said, ‘Look, if it works, you’re geniuses, and if it doesn’t, you’re the putzes who sank the show,’” longtime Oscars show writer Bruce Vilanch said. But lest cloaks and daggers become this year’s hot red carpet couture, here are the details about the show that — whether by design, or loose lips — have come to light over the past week:

SONG-AND-DANCE (JACK)MAN: “Hugh (Jackman, the host) is going to come out and say a few things, but he’s not going to do a 10-minute monologue … He’s going to be doing a lot of musical stuff, so that will have a different feel to it.” — Vilanch, in an interview with The Associated Press.

NEED A MONTAGE: The original song nominees will be presented together in a medley-style performance, rather than sprinkled throughout the show and played in their entirety. — Nominee Peter Gabriel, who announced in a video blog on his Web site that he was declining to perform “Down To Earth” from “WALL-E” to protest the one-minute limit for his part.

I’M WITH THE BAND!: The band will be onstage for at least part of the show, rather than in the orchestra pit. A circular ministage juts into the audience. The set is surrounded by a glittering circle of white lights and crystals, and is flanked by enormous chandeliers. — Seen in renderings released by the firm of architect and first-time Oscars set designer David Rockwell.

NIGHTCLUB JITTERS: “The look of the theater is very different. It’s more like the nightclub of your dreams. It’s very intimate. … It’s got to be a lot closer.” — Jackman, in an AP interview.

NEVERENDING STORY: “The show’s got a narrative line this year, so all the awards are grouped around that. The sequence in which they’re given is dictated by this narrative.” — Vilanch.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Five LED flat-screens will move in and out of the set to help carry out the show’s “narrative.” The entire sets will change and evolve, “powered by a visual narrative that will unfold through 12 transforming sets throughout the night.” — The Rockwell renderings.

PRESENTING … PRESENTERS!: “There are different people doing groups of awards instead of a different set for each one.” And at least some of the presenters who’d been lined up have backed out, emboldened by the anonymity they were afforded by the producers. — Vilanch, who didn’t name names.

MUSIC, MAKES THE PEOPLE, COME TOGETHER: The original-song medley will have a vibrant, world-music theme driven by nominee “Slumdog Millionaire,” and includes a drum line made up of Indian, African, Japanese and Chinese percussionists. The “giant extravaganza” also has a full orchestra and choir. — DJ Ravi Drums, the leader of the drum line for the number.

To be honest, I’m not sure if any revamp is going to do enough to bring people in any more than they have in any previous year. All of these changes just sound like more of the same. I highly doubt people will care enough to change their plans to watch or not. The folks who generally watch will watch again, the ones that don’t … well, won’t.

I, for one, am very excited for this year’s Academy Awards. David and I are hosting our first party in our new home in honor of the Oscars and we are very excited to celebrate with our friends ;)

Woot!!! Good luck to all the nominees … and I can’t wait to see if that leaked list of “Oscar winners” turns out to be genuine or not ;)
