Joel Madden Gives Benji Madden A Run For His Money

(This ain't a scene) It's an ARMS race
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Last month I posted a few photos of Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden showing off his crazy buff bod here in SoCal and today we get to see that his twin brother and GC frontman Joel Madden is getting in on the action. Here are a couple pics of Joel out and about here in LA yesterday showing off his buff arms in the warm Cali sun:


Now, I am not one to pit brother against brother but … which Madden twin do you think is rockin’ the hotter arms? Do you have a fave? Do you think Josh Madden, the twins’s older brother, should get in on the act?

Filming Continues On The Set Of ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’

Jumping the gun wand
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Yesterday we got our first look at Helena Bonham Carter in the role of Bellatrix Lestrange on the London set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows … and today we get to see a few more pics from the set. This time, we get to see principal stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermoine Granger) chillin’ on the set in between takes … and another photo of Bellatrix being her usual evil self:


There are other more spoilery photos but I don’t want to post too many pics this early in the filming. We’ve got plenty of time to see little teaser pics from the set. Deathly Hallows is going to be an epic film, I can just feel it. The book itself is too huge to be contained by just one movie. The film will prolly be the one Harry Potter movie that will contain almost all of the best bits from the book. Previously, the films had to cut content to fit in the time constraints. This 2 part film will have lots of time to do the final Harry Potter book justice. But … while all of this Hallows talk is very exciting, we still have The Half-Blood Prince to look forward to this Summer. So much Harry Potter!! Woot!

Courtney Love Sports Some Fancy Headwear

Crimp, her style
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Courtney Love showed up at the famed Chateau Marmont yesterday afternoon to meet up with some friends and showed off some fancy new headwear in the process. C. Love looked quite fetching, I think, in her red knit Scandinavian hat …


But it was when she took off the hat that the problem began to show. I don’t know anyone who even owns a hair crimping iron anymore but, clearly, Courtney is madly in love with hers. Poodle hair rarely looks good on poodles so I don’t know why she thought the look would work for her. There has still been no word on whether or not she plans to release that album she was supposed to release back on January 1 of this year. Perhaps she’s been too bizzy crimping her hair to bother with releasing new albums.

‘Star Trek’ Premieres In Japan

It just continues to conquer the world
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Members of bridge crew of the new Starship Enterprise were on hand at Shinjuku Milano One in Tokyo for the Japanese premiere of the new JJ Abrams film Star Trek which opens in the Land of the Rising Sun on May 29. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals at last night’s premiere (which, due to the time difference, actually took place “today” in Japan):


Yes, that is a replica of the USS Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 on the red carpet with the actors. These pics were too fun not to post … you can tell that everyone was very happy to be promoting the film in Japan … and with good reason. It’s doing very well here in the US. Folks in Japan have a great movie to look forward to. I’ve already seen the film twice and I’m itching to see it one more time … in IMAX. I’m anxious to see that Chris Pine underwear scene on the jumbo screen ;)

Kevin Federline Surfaces In Vancouver

Working on a new movie?
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Kevin Federline and his ladyfriend Victoria Prince were spotted on the streets of Vancouver, BC Canada over the weekend. At first, it was assumed that the couple were just bummin’ around town trying to blend amongst the vagrant community but, according to K-Fed, he informed the paparazzi that he was in town to work on a new film. Surely, he was kidding … right?


Actually … he wasn’t kidding. Pink reader Margaret informs me that K-Fed was cast as a day-player in the new straight-to-DVD American Pie movie (the 7th in the series) titled Book of Love. It turns out that The Federline was cast as a Canadian Border Patrol Guard and his entire contribution to this piece of cinematic artistry filmed and wrapped last Friday. Oh yeah, this movie sounds like a winner. Well, now that K-Fed is making his own money again, mebbe he can stop begging Britney Spears for more alimony.

The Detroit Red Wings Look To Finish Off The Anaheim Ducks In Game 6

The TV Guide
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Last night David and I had a pizza night here at home where we lounged around watching reruns of Friends while stuffing our faces with pizza-goodness. It was one of those perfect, stay-at-home nights :) But tonight looks to be a bit more exciting. I’m venturing down with a few friends (mostly Ducks fans) to the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup playoffs to watch the Detroit Red Wings take on the Ducks on their home turf:


The Wings handily defeated the Ducks in Game 5 back in Detroit at the Joe Louis Arena to take a 3-2 lead in the series. If they win tonight, they win the series. If not, the teams go back to Detroit for Game 7. I’m *really* hoping the Wings win tonight so I can celebrate with them tonight :) Cross those fingers and toes for my Detroit boys in red :) I’ll be doing as much tweeting as I can from the game … tonight promises to be fun beyond belief!
