Aussie hottie Hugh Jackman has made his way to Moscow, Russia to make an appearance at a press conference before making his way to the premiere of his new film X-Men Origins: Wolverine this week … here are a few photos of Hugh (rockin’ a smart-lookin’ new hair’do) at his Russian press conference earlier today:

When last we saw Hugh, he was jumpin’ his ass out of a helicopter in Sydney, Australia for a Wolverine premiere screening there and since he’s been making his way around Europe on his movie promo tour. Since his movie was leaked to the Internets a full month before it is due to open in theaters, I’m sure Hugh is workin’ overtime to make sure that as many folks as possible come out to see the film in theaters. From what I’ve heard and read from folks who couldn’t resist and watched the leaked film online, I doubt that the movie’s opening weekend box office will suffer much from the film’s leaking. After all, there are a few scenes in the film where Hugh Jackman bears more than his soul in the flick … interested movie goers who’d like to see his nekkid bum on the big screen are gonna make their way to the theaters — trust me. I know I’ll be there!! Wherever will Hugh Jackman pop up next on his Wolverine promo tour? Stay tuned …

Matthew McConaughey is featured on the cover of the new issue of Men’s Journal magazine and in his coverstory interview, Matthew talks about his ramblin’ ways, the things he’s learned along the way and shares some of the poignant and important advice offered to him by his father. Here is Matthew’s Men’s Journal coverphoto and that bit o’ advice he learned from his pappy:

His dad’s advice for how to handle women:
“Now, you’re getting to the age where you’re gonna start messing around with girls,” he says. “So here’s what you’ve got to follow. You’re going to get close, you’re going to get intimate, whatever. If you ever make a move, whether it’s for a kiss or touching her down there, and you feel the slightest bit of resistance, stop. A lot of times, after you stop, they’re going to then say, now it’s okay. Don’t. That time, that day, that’s as far as you go.”

On taking his dad’s advice:
“It’s a great lesson,” McConaughey says. “You do that, and you know what? Women do come back. They say, what? Nobody stops! They want to go out with you again. And eventually you don’t have to stop.”

Aww … now that’s advice you can take to the bank. After the jump, check out one more photo of Matthew from his issue of Men’s Journal and read a bit more of his chat with the mag …

Here are a few hawt photos of actor Orlando Bloom on the SoCal set of his new film Main Street wherein he plays a young police officer — with a porn’stache:

Yeah, I don’t know what Main Street is all about nor do I really care … I am pleased to see that Orlando has followed in the footsteps of Jude Law and his infamous Jude’stache and has grown the facial hair for this new role. I gotta say … I like it. Coupled with his smart, cropped haircut … the ’stache looks very nice on the young man. I think I am deffo a fan … are you?

Zac Efron, who is everywhere these days, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of GQ magazine. In his coverstory interview, Zac discusses his smart plan to keep his partying under wraps, his plans to NOT get married any time soon (sorry, Vanessa Hudgens) and various other topics suitable for a young actor actively promoting the release of a new movie. Here is Zac’s GQ magazine coverphoto and a portion of his coverstory interview:

Zac Efron may be making the leap from teen-dream to grown-up movie star with this weekend’s release of “17 Again,” but don’t expect him to cut loose any time soon. The 21-year-old star told GQ’s May 2009 issue that although he enjoys having alcohol in private with pals, he has no plans to put his partying on parade. “It’s common sense. If you’re gonna be drunk with your friends, don’t get wasted at the Chateau Marmont and hook up with some famous chick,” he told the mag. “It’s not rocket science. I don’t want to be famous for my personality,” Efron continued. “If anything, I keep that under wraps.” While Efron keeps his private life private, he opened up, just a little, about his romantic life, if only to shoot down rumors he and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens have marriage on the mind. “That was such bullshit,” he said of recent nuptial rumors. “I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind. Maybe not 40. Maybe not until I’m 30,” he quickly corrected himself. In the meantime, Efron is content to be an acting star, something he said he didn’t expect when he was younger. “That was the one thing I wasn’t prepared for. This wasn’t supposed to work, y’know?” he noted. “There’s 150 guys that are just like me, except more talented, and they probably deserve to be out here. It’s a fluke.” And maybe because Efron considers his success “a fluke,” he’s sought out advice from his elder peers, like 34-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio. “I thought I was gonna ask him questions,” Efron said of their meeting. “He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot. He said, ‘There’s one way that you can really fuck this all up. Just do heroin. If you steer clear of that — the other obstacles you’ll be able to navigate.’ And that makes sense, dude.”

Yeah, yeah … as interesting as all of that is, I think folks might be more interested to see the photos from Zac’s GQ photospread (tho, Leonardo DiCaprio’s advice is pretty funny). After the jump, check them out (yes, he is shirtless in at least one of them) …

Last night David and I met up with our good friend Sashie and her BFF Kelly for dinner at Pure Food and Wine for a dinner of raw food (all vegan, no meat or dairy). I admit, I was very nervous about the prospect of an entirely raw food dinner (especially since I was starving) but Sashie has impeccable taste so I figured it was worth trusting her … and boy am I glad that I did. Dinner was amazing … but the highlight, really, was getting to see Sashie and her beautiful burgeoning baby bump:

As you may recall, David and I flew to Jackson Hole, WY last August to attend Sashie’s wedding to her amazing hubby Will … and since then, she’s gotten pregs. I had not been able to see her since I heard the news so I was very anxious to see how beautiful she looks. I was not disappointed (but, unfortch for me, I look more pregs in this photo than Sashie does ;). Sashie and her friend Kelly have to be two of the coolest, funnest, most interesting people I’ve had the pleasure to know. We had a grand time last night.

This afternoon, David and I fly back to SoCal as our time in NYC has come to a quick end. I’ve been having such a nice time, I actually miss being here often. That said, I’m still thrilled that David and I live together on the Left Coast … but it’s nice to be back in the city every once in a while … I shall be back. But, it’s time to return to our lurve nest back home. Barring any complications, I should be blogging from home again tomorrow morn.

Taylor Lautner, in semi-full Jacob Black costuming (ie. the wig), came out to meet and greet briefly with a gaggle of young admirers in Vancouver, Canada (where The Twilight Saga: New Moon is currently being filmed) recently and made a few lives complete by posting for photos with his female fans:

OK, so mebbe the ladies were not swooning and fainting at the mere sight of Mr. Lautner but I still think it’s really cool that Taylor took the time to come out and chill with the ladies. While I’m pretty sure that Team Jacob isn’t as massive as Team Edward is, it’s nice to know that Taylor is aware of his fanbase and is willing to spend as much time with his fans as he can. It’s a shame that Robert Pattinson cannot do the same … altho, if R.Pattz did come out to meet even a small group of Twilight fans, he’d prolly not be allowed to escape with his life.
