When last we were able to feast our eyes on Channing Tatum, star of the upcoming film Fighting and the Summer blockbusters Public Enemies and G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, he was gracing the ingénue section of Vanity Fair magazine … today we learn that he is featured on the cover …

… and in the pages of …

… YRB magazine. I must confess that I am no familiar with YRB mag but by the looks of its website, it appears to cover topics like music, film, fashion and travel. Very, very interesting. But I’m kinda all about the pics of Channing so … that’s about all I need to know. The photos are pretty and dramatic … let’s just say they’re pretty dramatic. While I’d prefer a little less clothing (and a little more skin) I can’t say that I have much to complain about. Channing is the hotness, so I’m gonna be a fan of any mag that features him. Here’s hoping there will be more magazine covers (with accompanying sexy photospreads) that feature Mr. Tatum in the weeks and months to come. With 3 movies on the horizon, we should have lots of Channing Tatum to look forward to.

Contrary to rampant rumors flying around the Internets this week, it is with a heavy heart that I have to pass along the sad info that Matthew Perry (who famously played the character of Chandler Bing on 10 seasons of the NBC hit show Friends) will NOT be appearing in the series finale of Lost as is being reported around the Internets (and which originated on the IMDB):

It’s not every day that we get to solve a “Lost” mystery, but today we most certainly can. The Internet’s been buzzing since yesterday with the “Lost” news that Matthew Perry — also known as Chandler Bing — is appearing in the season finale of “Lost.” A sleuth found the secret casting news on IMDB, with a character name and everything. ABC immediately denied this, but we are of a suspicious nature, so we kept digging. What we found is that nowhere on the island of Smoke Monsters and four-toed statues has there ever been an actor named Matthew Perry. He’s not there in 1977. He’s not there in 2009. And he wasn’t there in 2004 when the Oceanic 815 crashed. Whoever added the part to Perry’s resume was playing a dirty trick on us, Losties. Three island sources have now confirmed what ABC debunked. Our money’s on Benjamin Linus. You know how that guy likes to mess with our heads.

I can’t say that I’m surprised that this rumor turned out to be false … but can we just think for a minute how amazing the Lost island would be if it had a bit of Chandler Bing on it? I might actually make a point to watch the show for reals again. Ah well, the rumor was fun while it lasted :)

Last night I was fortunate to be able to partake of the Hauslaib family Seder dinner for Passover (after missing out last year) and a great time was had by all. As usual, the Seder dinner table was laid out for all and the ceremonial dinner itself was delicious … the Finger Puppets of the 10 Plagues of Egypt that David and I brought to the party were a big hit … twas fun, twas fun:

Because the Seder ceremony calls for 4 glasses of wine (!!!) I was pretty much done for the night after it was all said and done. I curled up inside my Snuggie and kinda passed out on the couch:

And that was my night :)

I do have to send out much love and thanks to the folks on Twitter who helped me retrieve all of the photos that I accidentally deleted on my BlackBerry (including some of the photos above). In the span of about 10 mins, I had deleted 89 photos off my phone’s memory card, I got help on how to retrieve and successfully got all 89 photos back. Twitter is a wonder, thank you all for your help.

It’s cold and dreary out today so I’m not sure where what the plan is for tonight but … it’s great to be here. Woot!

Yesterday we saw photos of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt filming an impromptu music video for her new single Look How I’m Doin’ outside Crown Bar in LA earlier this week. Today, we get to see the initial fruits of their labor. Speidi have already released a teaser vid that features scenes presumably from the final music video:

HMMM. On the one hand it doesn’t have the same production value that her last music video for Overdosin’ does but … yeah, I guess there aren’t any other hands. In other Speidi news, Spencer has been going buckwild on Twitter in recent weeks and has been uploading personal pics to his account, including these particular photos … one of Spencer with a cute Easter bunny and one of Spencer with an automatic rifle:


You gotta love a multifaceted person like this, right? Happy Easter!!

Here is a picture of an A-List celeb mom taking on the role of softball coach with her children at the softball field on the campus of UCLA in Westwood, CA earlier this week:

It’s hard to tell who it is because of the face mask (obvs, otherwise there would be no game) but if you look closely at this person’s hair color and stature, you might be able to venture a correct guess. She does have two children and is currently unmarried. After the jump, find out who it is …
