Green Day fans, rejoice! Altho the band’s new album 21st Century Breakdown won’t be released in stores and online until May 15, MTV’s The Leak is streaming the entire album RIGHT NOW for your listening pleasure:

While getting to see the first music video from the album a couple of weeks ago was pretty cool, I think getting to preview the entire album this early before its release is pretty freakin’ cool. Take a listen … and lemme know what you think.

Heidi Klum Is Expecting A Baby Girl

Seal breaks the news to Oprah Winfrey
Friday, May 8th, 2009

Pink reader Tammy informs me that Seal just announced to the world on The Oprah Winfrey Show that he and wife Heidi Klum, who is pregs with the couple’s 3rd child (her 4th), are expecting the birth of a baby girl!


Heidi was most recently seen all glammed up for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala earlier this week but she had nothing to say about the sex of her incubating baby. This is great news … the couple already have a girl and two boys. This will round out their family perfectly. Perhaps she was yet unaware or perhaps the couple decided to save the news for Oprah but now we know. Oprah doesn’t air here in LA until later this afternoon … but I may just have to tune in to hear the announcement for myself. Congrats to the happy couple!!!

UPDATE: Here is a screencap of Oprah sharing Heidi and Seal’s happy news on her show today:

David Beckham Denies Sneaking Around With Other Women

"I do not flirt with other women - I exist only for Victoria"
Friday, May 8th, 2009

Responding to some reports that claim that David Beckham has been creepin’ around on his wife Victoria Beckham while he is away from his family, Becks sets the record straight in new comments about his private life. After a report came out that he was spied in the close company of Hungarian model Mariann Fogarasy, Becks decided to speak up and vehemently deny that any such occurrence took place. Stating that he “exist[s] only for Victoria”, Becks seems very intent on making sure that everyone knows of his fidelity to his wife:


David Beckham has denied rumours of a dinner date with a pretty Hungarian model. Beckham, 34, who is currently on loan with Milan until the end of the season, pledged undying love for wife Victoria, 35, in an interview with an Italian newspaper which he used to quash the rumours. Beckham said: “Ninety per cent of what is written about us is invented. The last one was this story about the Hungarian model, I have never been out to dinner with this young lady. I do not flirt with other women – I exist only for Victoria. And just for the record Victoria will be in the stand on Sunday to watch me play against Juventus,” he said. Beckham’s comments came days after a French magazine had claimed he had been out for dinner with stunning Hungarian model Mariann. It alleged he had met Fogarasy, who has appeared in a number of semi-nude poses in Hungarian FHM, after a Milan friendly in Budapest. And football’s biggest pin-up told La Stampa: “If I took the time to deny every story about me I wouldn’t have time to be a footballer.” But clearly, the father-of-three felt a need to nip this one in the bud.

So, like Kelly Clarkson, it’s clear that Becks does not hook up. Good for him! I’m sure there is no way he can possibly set the record straight in every instance but speaking up every once-in-a-while is a good idea I think. I may joke around a bit about him and wifey Vicki B. but I have never really doubted their love for one another. As we know, VB has already made her way to Europe so she will be back in Becks’s arms in no time … surely that will keep the Hungarian models away ;)

Taylena Step Out For Another Date

Is it getting serious?
Friday, May 8th, 2009

Awww … look at this … Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez, the hottest tween couple to take Hollywood by storm, stepped out for yet another date together in Vancouver, BC Canada this week. As you may recall, Taylor and Selena started hanging out together in between their filming schedules in Vancouver and appear to be fostering a new relationship together. Due to their youth and cute factor, I think Taylena may have progressed just past the level of name-calling and hair-pulling. The couple has even started dressing alike … a sure sign of true lurve. Here is a pic of Taylena out and about in Vancouver earlier this week on their most recent date together:


HMMM … the couple were not photographed holding hands or anything but I suspect they’ll work up to that level within a couple of weeks. I understand that the couple dined at The Keg Steakhouse before taking a walk together in the light rain. Couldn’t you just die? These two are pretty adorable together. If they’re smart, they’ll use that cuteness for good and not for evil.

Kiefer Sutherland Turns Himself In To The Cops

After he allegedly headbutts a fashion designer in NYC
Friday, May 8th, 2009

Oh Kiefer. As you may have heard, Kiefer Sutherland (who is no stranger to run-ins with the police) got himself into a bit of a scuffle earlier this week after the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala took place in NYC. Essentially, it is being alleged that Kiefer headbutted a fashion designer named Jack McCollough after he reportedly bumped into Brooke Shields. As a result of the infraction on McCollough’s part, Kiefer allegedly headbutted McCoullough in the face causing injury to the poor guy. The NYPD requested that Sutherland turn himself in and with lawyer in tow (and with much fanfare), he did just that in order to be arrested and charged with assault yesterday afternoon:


Kiefer Sutherland was charged Thursday with misdemeanor assault for allegedly headbutting a fashion designer at a New York party. Wearing a black overcoat and carrying an umbrella, the 24 star, 42, turned himself in at about 4 p.m. at the First Precinct, where he was arrested on the third-degree assault charge.


After he was photographed and fingerprinted, Sutherland walked out of the precinct at about 6 p.m. accompanied by his Los Angeles lawyer, Blair Berk. He didn’t answer reporters’ questions but waved to the crowd of photographers before getting into a black town car and driving off. Sutherland is expected within a month to appear before a judge in Manhattan Criminal Court to answer to the misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of as much as $1,000 and up to a year in jail. Sutherland allegedly headbutted designer Jack McCollough during a scuffle early Tuesday morning. Sutherland allegedly got physical with McCollough after the designer bumped into fellow party guest Brooke Shields. Los Angeles authorities said they intend to investigate whether Sutherland violated probation for his second DUI conviction in 2007 for which he served seven weeks in jail. If so, he could face additional jail time.

UGH. This is such a crappy scenario. Kiefer, who has had problems with drinking before, could be in big trubs if he is convicted of this assault … especially if it is determined that he violated the terms of his probation. Jack McCollough prolly didn’t expect to have a run-in with Jack Bauer on Monday night … and for his troubles he ended up with an almost busted nose:


It may not look like much now but I know it doesn’t feel good to have one’s nose split open by someone else’s head. I love me some Kiefer but if things really did go down in the way it sounds like it did, I think he needs to be punished for his actions. See folks … you don’t want to eff with Jack Bauer. Even fashion designers can’t be safe.

Iron Man Takes A Donut Break

What is it with cops and superheroes?
Friday, May 8th, 2009

Last Friday we got our first look at a new promo pic from the film Iron Man 2 (which just went into production a few weeks ago) which showed Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark in his superhero secret lair. Today we get to see photos of RDJ filming out in public as director Jon Favreau puts the comic hero in a funny situation. Earlier this week, Favreau posted a fun photo on his official Twitter profile of the comic hero filming a funny scene for the film … here it is:


It looks as if someone (Iron Man perhaps?) is taking a respite from the trials of crime fighting in order to indulge his sweet tooth. After the jump, check out a more zoomed in photo for a closer look …
