A new bunch of video visuallettes from Tori Amos have made their way to the Internets with each one representing a song from her new album Abnormally Attracted to Sin which is due to hit stores on May 19.

And here is are a few screen caps from the visualette for the song Flavor:


The songs are amazing — slower, like the other songs we’ve heard from this album thus far … but they are both extremely beautiful and moving. After the jump, watch both of these visualettes in full and find links to 3 other visualettes for the songs Curtain Call, Give and 500 Miles

Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen Honeymoon In Vancouver

Vancouver, BC is where it's at!
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Newlyweds Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady, who were wed earlier this month for the second time in Costa Rica (after they were first married in February in Santa Monica, CA), have popped up in Vancouver, BC Canada (along with pretty much everyone else, it seems) with Tom’s young son John Edward in tow. It turns out that John’s mother Bridget Moynahan is filming in Vancouver so Tom and Gisele decided to spend part of their honeymoon in Canada to spend time with his son — after all, as you may recall, Gisele told Vanity Fair magazine that she feels as if John were her very own child, too. Here are a few supercute pics of the happy family:


I understand the threesome spent part of their Saturday tooling around downtown Vancover before they jumped aboard the AquaBus to visit Granville Island (and also to do some canoodling). It looks like the couple are enjoying the married life … and that they are doing everything possible to make sure that little John feels included in their new family unit. They make a cute fam, don’tchathink?

Heidi Montag-Pratt Headed For ‘Playboy’?

Is the new missus ready to pose nude?
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Heidi Montag, who officially and legally became Mrs. Pratt this past Saturday afternoon when she finally married long-time beau Spencer Pratt, is reportedly considering posing for Playboy magazine … and, according to Life & Style magazine, her new hubby is encouraging her to do so. Is there nothing that this couple won’t do for a little publicity?


Besides being Mrs. Pratt, Heidi may have another new role in the works: Playboy Playmate! Life & Style can exclusively reveal that Heidi’s in negotiations to pose for magazine. “She wants to do it,” the insider confirms. “It’s just a matter of working out the details.” The insider tells Life & Style that Spencer is encouraging her to do it and is working on negotiating a $500,000 deal for his wife.

While I can’t say that I’m particularly surprised at this report, it doesn’t really jibe with Heidi’s overt Christianity. Every day the girl tweets about Jesus and/or the Bible … I cannot imagine that posing nude in Playboy magazine is really sanctioned by the church. Then again, Speidi really know how to capitalize on an opportunity and if Heidi could score the cover of Playboy magazine and pocket a half million, I bet the couple would go for it. Would YOU be interested in seeing Heidi Montag-Pratt’s nekkid bod in Playboy magazine? Do you think she’d really go for it?

Britney Spears Brings Her ‘Circus’ To Chicago, IL

The TV Guide
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Sadly, today is our last day in Chicago, IL as David and I are scheduled to fly back to SoCal in a couple of hours. We have had the best time here and while our stay was far too short, I think David got a good sense of how amazing this city is so we will deffo be back. Yesterday was a nice relaxing day for us … we stayed near our temporary home away from home The Hard Rock Hotel Chicago and had THE most sumptuous dinner at the China Grill. On the advice of our server, we tried a multi-course meal that was so full of deliciousness that I can’t even fully convey how tasty everything was. Each course was more tasty that the previous one … it was truly a great meal. I cannot recommend China Grill more … if you are in the city and have yet to eat here, YOU MUST. It’s really fantastic. Here are a few photos from our stay here in Chicago …


Much love goes out to our friends Joe, Lea, Shea, Sarah and Mark for making our visit to Chicago extra special and much love and many thanks goes out to John and his entire staff here at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago. We were made to feel so welcome at every turn … this was my second stay at the Hard Rock and the service just keeps getting better. Perfect location, great amenities and a great staff make this place my fave! I hope we are able to come back soon. David and I just love it here :)

But, lest you forget, last night David and I were able to see Britney Spears for the third and final time. Brit Brit played the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL and put on another fantastic show. After the jump, check out some of my photos from last night’s show …

Sean Penn & Robin Wright Penn Are Dunzo!

Sadly, their reconciliation didn't take
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Sad news today for Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn (well, depending on your perspective, I suppose) … Extra! TV is reporting that Sean has filed for divorce after the couple unsuccessfully tried to save their marriage from the last time they almost divorced. The couple almost called it quits back in December of 2007 but decided to give their marriage another go … unfortch for the pair, it just didn’t work out. The Penns are dunzo, y’all:


Back in 2007, Sean Penn filed for divorce from wife Robin Wright Penn, then they decided to give it another go, but it seems that it hasn’t worked out, as Sean just filed for legal separation, “Extra” has exclusively learned. The two have been married since 1996 and have two teenage children. It’s been a big year for Penn, 48, who won nearly every major award for his work in “Milk,” including a Best Actor Oscar. Last time they filed, the couple sought joint custody of the kids, which will likely be the case again this time. Penn was previously married to Madonna.

I was pretty certain that the couple were dunzo for good back in 2007 but when they decided to try and work things out and then stayed together for all of 2008, I had totally forgotten that they were near break-up and just figured that they had sorted out all of their probs. I guess it just goes to show that some relationships cannot be salvaged. Sean and Robin always looked like a good match to me … I guess, in the end, it just wasn’t meant to be. Altho, if the couple managed to patch things up last time I suppose it’s possible that they can do it again. Whatever the case, I wish them both well.

‘People’ Magazine Selects The ‘100 Most Beautiful People’ Of 2009

The annual list
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

It is time again for People magazine to release their annual 100 Most Beautiful People issue and this year they have selected actress and breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate to grace the cover of the issue. Christina herself credits her man Martyn Lenoble for her beauty and talks about how his love for her is what makes her beauty shine. Here is the cover of the 100 Most Beautiful People issue of People magazine and a short piece on Christina’s beauty:


She has an “angel” of a boyfriend, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, “who loves me from head to toe.” She has a cozy Malibu beach house that she calls “the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.” And, after a very public battle with breast cancer that has given her a gratifying “feeling of purpose,” Christina Applegate has a new lease on life. “I used to be really shy but I started to come into my own in my late 20s and early 30s,” Applegate, 37, tells PEOPLE in the cover interview for the annual Most Beautiful issue – her first interview since her reconstructive breast surgery last November. “Now I’m not afraid to speak up in a room full of people and be a part of the conversation.” The Samantha Who? star says she’s finding balance and embracing her body after undergoing a double mastectomy in July. “You have to get through the physical transformations then buck up, go to work and try to be the normal, happy Christina for everyone around you,” she says. One source of strength has been Lenoble. “He’s been a friend for about 13 years,” Applegate says. “Our relationship gets stronger and stronger. I’m really lucky.” And, more importantly, he makes the actress feel “beautiful” about her new body. “I’m very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he’s been my rock through all of this,” Applegate says. “He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about.”

Considering the life-changing effect that enduring a double mastectomy has on a woman, I am very impressed with Christina’s attitude about her beauty (which is on full display in this issue of People magazine). I, for the life of me, cannot imagine what it must be like to survive a bout with cancer so my hat is off to her in that respect. I suppose congrats are in order for being named by People magazine as one of the 100 Most Beautiful People. But, there are 99 other folks who have been deemed beautiful by People — after the jump, check out a few of those pretty faces …
