The reunification of Blink 182 is now officially, officially underway. As you may recall, Blink-182 stunned the world by making a surprise appearance on stage together at the Grammy Awards here in LA back in February, unofficially announcing to the world that the group was getting back together. A couple of weeks later, we got our first look at new promo images of the band together … but there was no word on what, if any, work the band has been doing in the studio together — until now. Mark Hoppus posted a new photo of the trio on his official Twitter profile that shows the Blink boys together again … in the studio:

Finally. It’s so nice to see the guys back together again … glad to see that they can let bygones be bygones and can move forward together as a solid unit again. Mark posted another photo on his Twitter profile, once that showed him looking very much like someone else we know and love — check it out after the jump …

After breaking off their romantic relationship last July and then suddenly spending a lot of time together more recently, ex-flames Drew Barrymore and Justin Long attended the premiere of her HBO movie Grey Gardens at the Pierre Hotel in NYC last night. While People magazine hints at a romantic reunion for the ex-lovers, Drew tells Extra! that the couple are “just friends” that are spending a lot of time together because they will be working together in a new film this Summer. HMMMM. Here’s a cute pic of the happy couple last night and the opposing viewpoints of their togetherness:

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are not shy with their admiration for one another. “I adore him,” Barrymore, who wore a retro flesh-tone Alberta Feretti gown to the premiere of her HBO movie Grey Gardens, said of Long. “And I thank God that my friend supports me the way he does.” The off-again, on-again pair were affectionate the night of the premiere Tuesday. During the screening, she leaned over her seat to give him a quick smooch. At the movie’s after-party at the Pierre hotel, Long, 30, and Barrymore, 34, posed for photos together. Later inside the hotel, she dragged Long into the dining room while holding his hand and gave him a long embrace, whispering into his ear. Michael Suscy, who directed Grey Gardens, told PEOPLE that during the filming of the movie Barrymore “would correspond with [Justin], but only by writing letters on a typewriter – no modern technology, only technology that her character, Little Edie would have had.” Barrymore … said the old-fashioned letters, which she wrote on an avocado green IBM Selectric typewriter, helped her work through her jitters about the part. “Thank God for him because he was my wonderful outlet, my dear friend throughout the process … I had to understand what isolation was really like.” As for the subject of the letters, “They were about my fears of not being able to pull this character off, this icon, about learning a level of discipline … about facing your fears,” she said. According to Long, Barrymore had nothing to worry about. “I’m so proud and stunned. It’s unbelievable. She lost herself completely. It’s an amazing, beautiful, transformative performance. She’s one of the greats.”

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, sure sounds romantic to me. I mean, yes, ex-lovers can be friends after a break-up but … I dunno. Anyways, here is what Drew said about the time she has been/will be spending with Justin:

Drew was spotted at the “Grey Gardens” premiere with ex-boyfriend Justin Long on Tuesday night. The actress confirmed the two are back together, but only for the movie! She revealed, “I’m going to do a comedy this summer with my dear friend Justin Long and I can’t wait to just laugh.” Drew continued, “He really is [one of the funniest guys I know]. I wanted to do it because I trust him so much.”

It’s funny how friendship can lead back to love, especially in situations where people have to work together. Even if the couple aren’t aware that they might be falling back in love, that’s exactly what could be happening. I have no doubt that Justin is still in love with Drew. I’d bet money on it. Here’s hoping that, one day, Drew and Justin can re-forge the love that they shared just last year. There is something about this couple that I just love … they make a really cute couple, don’t you think?

Nicole Richie is featured in a new set of promo pictures where she is rockin’ pieces from her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line …

… and which can be purchased at online retailers like Shop Bop and Pascal Mouawad. I must admit, I really like all of these photos … I don’t think anyone else does hippie chic quite as well as Nicole Richie does (sorry, Mischa Barton). But as much as I love these new pics of Nicole, I think I still love any photos of her daughter Harlow Winter more. After the jump, check out two new photos of Harlow Winter that her father Joel Madden posted on his official Twitter profile …

Mandy Moore, who was quietly married to rockstar Ryan Adams in Savannah, GA last month, is featured in the new issue of Details magazine (the one with Eric Bana on the cover) showing off just how much she’s grown up in the past few years. In this new issue, Mandy shows off her sultry, sexy side in what can only be described as her attempt to continue distancing herself from her good girl, squeaky clean, I’m missing you like Candy image. Here is one of Mandy’s new Details photos and the mag’s short interview with her:

Mandy Moore is wearing motorcycle boots. The detail certainly qualifies as strange. As she settles into a booth at a dimly lit Hollywood diner, the kind of greasy spoon where musicians nurse hangovers, it’s immediately apparent that Moore is not the preppy good girl you were expecting—nor the wholesome Neutrogena spokesperson, nor the milquetoast star of bland movie fare, nor the erstwhile nineties pop-tart who’s remained a professional cutie ever since. Her incongruous footwear is accompanied by a flowered vintage frock, a baggy cardigan, and black tights, and her short, layered hair is just-woke-up mussed. She orders a basket of fries and a chocolate shake, then says, “It’s okay to have a milk shake. . . . It is! Whatever! Who fucking cares?”—she’ll repeat that last phrase often. In Hollywood, where everyone is cleaning up his or her image, Mandy Moore seems to be set on giving hers a few rougher edges. To be sure, vestigial hints of her Girl Scout persona remain. Before eating her fries, Moore, who lives nearby in Los Feliz, daubs her hands with lavender-infused sanitizer. “I’m a germ-phobe when I meet a lot of people or shake a lot of hands. I always have hand sanitizer and alcohol swabs,” she says, “so I can sort of go back and forth between the two.” She explains that she added alcohol swabs to her handbag when her “best girlfriend,” a publicist for Coach (”you know, the handbag company”), informed her that “you can build up an immunity to the antibacterial stuff—and I was like, Oh, perfect.” In the process of disinfecting, Moore removes her conspicuous engagement ring, an enormous tear-shaped diamond—a gift, the world now knows, from Ryan Adams, whose indie cred can be measured in numerous reports of his substance abuse and onstage tantrums. It’s hard not to wonder, of course, what role Adams might have played in Moore’s alt-chick reinvention.

Awww … I love it. Mandy has started wearing her husband’s clothes. Except for the fact that she’s a wee bit taller than he is, I bet Mandy and Ryan are pretty much the same size. It’s a shame that the mag doesn’t offer any photos of Mandy wearing her new “alt-chick” clothing — but they do offer a few more photos of Mandy in her undies from the magazine’s photospread. After the jump, check them out …

After famously telling Life & Style magazine that she would “absolutely not” do a reality TV show about her life or the lives of her children, Nadya Octomom Suleman confirms to L&S that she has signed on to do a TV show after all. Suleman makes a point to clarify that her TV show will not be a reality TV show but, instead, a sort of documentary that will follow her children’s lives up until the age of 18. But really, aren’t documentaries (at the heart of it all) really just fancy reality TV shows?

After weeks of speculation, Nadya Suleman confirms to Life & Style exclusively that she will be doing a television show with her 14 children! “Yes, it is official. I’m going to be doing a show, but it’s not a reality show,” Nadya tells Life & Style. “What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by Eyeworks; they’re in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we’ll see if the US is interested.” Nadya adds that the documentary style of the show won’t infringe on her family’s privacy: “The producers will come here to film six times a year. They’ll come by and take some footage and then they’ll go. They won’t be invading my life or my children’s lives.” Plus, the filming will help this busy mom remember the important milestones for her children. “It will give me the opportunity to have incredible home movies that, believe me, I don’t have the time to make myself. Having this documentary crew allows me to focus on raising my children and still have great movies of them.”

You gotta hand it to the lady, she does know how to work things out in the manner that best benefits her. By signing on for this TV deal, she can say that she is not doing a reality TV show and still get her reality-like TV show. Additionally, she gets a professional production company to film her crazy life for her … footage that will, no doubt, be sold every place possible so as to maximize her monetary gain. It’s almost as if she’s squeezing her babies for every penny she can get. Now that the 8th baby has been released from the hospital and is in her care, there’s no reason why production of her new show can’t get underway immediately. I weep for those poor babies.

Today is a pretty quiet, muted day … which is nice considering how crappy I feel from yesterday’s travels. For the most part, the flight from NYC to LA was pretty standard but we were treated to an almost 2-hour delay on the tarmac before take-off which made the overall flight feel really uncomfortable. On the plus side, I got to read a few issues of The New Yorker on my lovely Kindle 2 in addition to watching all my Tuesday night TV on the plane. I was very excited for Donna Martin’s return on 90210 last night but the ep itself sucked. I don’t recall the writing on the show being so atrocious … but I found last night’s writing particularly horrible. The acting was just as poor. It’s kinda sad to see Diablo Cody go from the Academy Awards to this … I was just so disappointed:

If I were a new fan and last night was the first ep of 90210 that I watched I doubt I’d ever watch again. I’m hoping the show gets better but, really, last night’s ep was painful.

I’m happy to report that Tax Day is a much less painful one for me this year … careful planning by my tax dudes prepared me for a good day this year. So … I’m pretty much carefree these days :)
