Trick or Treat! Rob Zombie has released the first trailer from the sequel to his remake of Halloween and, I have to say, it doesn’t look too bad. While I was not really a fan of his version of Halloween, the trailer for Halloween II looks much better in comparison:

Unsurprisingly, Zombie strays quite a bit from the original version of Halloween II (which, for the record, is one of my fave horror films of all time) as it appears most of the action does NOT take place in the Haddonfield Hospital like it does in the original Halloween II. HMMM. After the jump, check out our first look at the movie trailer for Rob Zombie’s vision of Halloween II …

Britney Spears continues to tour the US with The Circus starring Britney Spears and as with any live concert tour, accidents will happen. Take, for example, the recent concert stop where Britney was performing Touch of my Hand with one of her dancers and during their routine, a piece of her hair weave got yanked out and left on the couch she was laying on:

Britney Spears’ Circus tour is taking its toll on the pop superstar – high-energy dance routines are leaving her dizzy and nauseous, and costing her clumps of her hair. In a new YouTube.com video of one of her most recent shows in the U.S., a suspended dancer clearly yanks off a clump of Brit’s hair extensions as he attempts to pull her into the air with him. Meanwhile, insiders claim Spears is struggling with her energetic dance routines. A source tells Britain’s The Mirror, “The choreography is insane – it’s so fast it is really taking its toll on her. There is one move during (the song) Touch Of My Hand, where two guys dangle from the ceiling and pick her up upside down, which is really getting to her. “She spins around for nearly five minutes some nights. The blood rushes to her head and when she gets down she complains of nausea and dizziness. There have been a couple of times when she ran off stage and vomited.”

Aww … poor Brit. I dunno about all that puking but the hair weave thing is kinda hilarious. You’d think that stuff would be sewed onto her head better … ah well. After the jump, check out video of Britney’s tiny hairweave malfunction …

Lance Bass can usually be found in the company of very attractive men but, on occasion, he manages to save his company for the ladies … and by the way that the ladies love to flock to his side, I’d say he prolly likes the attention:

Believe me, I know that Lance deffo prefers the company of dudes (the less dressed the better) but it’s nice of him to spread his wealth around to the fairer sex as well. Homeboy is quite the charmer … boys, girls — everyone loves Lance!

Aussie pop queen Kylie Minogue (one of the most beautiful women alive) made an appearance on the red carpet at the opening of a new Tous jewelry boutique in Barcelona, Spain (one of the most beautiful cities on Earth) yesterday in her role as spokesmodel for the company. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Ms. Kylie here on the blog so it’s about time we got to see her beautiful face around these parts … behold:

News on the Kylie front has been a bit quiet lately but she has been popping up in London in the last couple of weeks. She is always a nice sight to behold whenever she shows up on the scene … and she looked especially cute at the Tous event in Barcelona last night. Until we get word that she has begun work on her next album (which I hope is soon) we’ll just have to take what we can get :)

Depcehe Mode, who just released their latest album Sounds of the Universe on Tuesday, took over Hollywood Blvd. last night for a live performance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. Unfortch, I was not able to make it out for the performance but my friend and ofttimes roving reporter Darion was able to attend and he snapped a few pics for sharing here on the blog … behold:

Darion writes: Depeche Mode takes over the streets of Hollywood for Jimmy Kimmel Live

Tonight I went to see Depeche Mode with my friends Fred and Jason – we heard they were giving a free concert in Hollywood. We came upon Hollywood & Argyle to see the entire section of street completely blocked off! The city had closed several blocks around the Hollywood and Highland complex for the FREE concert! Radio stations were handing out 10,000 tickets all day! I have to give a shout out to Sarah S., thanks to her and the always amazing Pink Is The New Blog, we got into the VIP section just as the concert started. It was SO FUN! As you can see from the pics, Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the concert along with Channing Tatum, promoting his new movie Fighting – who looked so insanely hawt I think a few people fainted – and Elisha Cuthbert, who was apparently promoting her transition into becoming a man. I keed, I keed, she’s gorgeous but her outfit choice was not a good one. After they segued for the show Depeche Mode kicked it off with an AMAZING concert! From what we were told they did two songs live for the show, followed by another 30-40 minutes of performing. It was incredible! And so cool they stayed to play for the crowd instead of just doing songs for the show and taking off. My personal favorite of the night was Personal Jesus, the crowd erupted and really got into it. They also did several songs off their new album, as well as some other classics. They start a new tour this summer and ended the show with “See you soon!”. They sounded fantastic live and put on a great show – if you are a fan I definitely recommend seeing them live!!

It sounds like the live performance was incredible … I have been THOROUGHLY obsessed with Sounds of the Universe since I downloaded it on iTunes this past Tuesday. The album is totally solid, really freaking great. It has that old Depeche Mode sound but with an updated feel. While I am bummed that I missed seeing them last night, I understand the band will tour this Summer and is planning a show at the Hollywood Bowl here in LA. I am SO gonna be at that show. After the jump, check out video of DM performing the song Wrong on Jimmy Kimmel last night …

I have been on a reading frenzy this week and I’ve sorta forsaken all other things in order to catch up on a few books that have been piling up on my desk. A few weeks ago, I was sent an advance copy of Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill so it’s been on the top of my reading list for a while … I finally started reading the book this week and I didn’t want to put it down:

The book is excellently written and features just enough pop culture references to make the story feel fresh without overdoing it (Nine Inch Nails gets a shout-out, which of course endeared the book to me even more). The book is the first in the Chicagoland Vampire Series and focuses on a female protagonist named Merit who is no timid woman and brings a fresh perspective on the vampire craze that is going around these days. The book has a little bit of Harry Potter in it (ie. different Vampire Houses), a little bit of The Southern Vampire Mysteries in it (ie. the Sookie Stackhouse novels which True Blood is based on) but with a voice and perspective all it’s own. No offense to the Twilight fans out there but the writing from Chloe Neill is IMMENSELY better than that from Stephenie Meyer. I just really enjoyed the book and I am very much looking forward to Book II Friday Night Bites which is due out this Fall. If you are a fan of vampire novels, I think you should give this one a try. I loved it entirely and am now very anxious to read more from Ms. Neill.

Because I finished the book a bit early in the night, I started reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith. OMG, it’s freaking brilliant! I suspect I’ll get thru this book very quickly … it’s really hilarious. I must admit, I’ve never read the original Austen novel in its entirety but I may read the book after I finish this version of the tale. If you’re a fan of Austen or even if you’re not, this book is really entertaining. I’ve gotten thru the first few chapters and all I kept thinking was that I hope they will turn the mash-up book into a movie!

I don’t think I’ll get much reading done today … David and I still have to pack for our trip to Chicago and we have decided to see two movies today. Hahahaha … yes, we’re a bit nutty.
