Shia LaBeouf Confesses His Penile Short-Comings

Overshares to 'Playboy' magazine
Friday, May 15th, 2009

Shia LaBeouf is featured in an interview in the new issue of Playboy magazine where he talks at some length (and with great detail) about his sexual awakening. In the process of his anecdotal storytelling, Shia inadvertently reveals that he is “not extremely well-endowed” in the nether region. Here is a portion of this new interview with Playboy mag:


In the new issue of Playboy, Shia talks — among other things — about the time he lost his virginity. “I was shaking in my boots,” he says about the romp, four years ago. “Getting naked was very strange. It was the first time I’d been naked in the light, in front of a girl, with no hiding place.” Things took a turn for the worse when Shia, who was pretending to be a Lothario, made the age-old mistake of trying to copy a porn he’d seen. “I remember putting a pillow underneath her because I had seen that in a porn movie…[It] put her at a weird angle, where I couldn’t get in correctly. I’m not extremely well-endowed … and clearly this wasn’t the move. And while that night might have been a disaster, the lady in question ended up dating Shia for a while, where she became his sex-instructor of sorts. “We had a lot of sex and would read the Kama Sutra together and do the wildest shit.”

Ah youth. Shia talks about much more than just his short-comings and his sexual awakening, he also talks about his injured hand (“Permanently f*ked. I’ll never be back to 100 percent or have full recovery.”), on how he used to masturbate on the set of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (“I remember my trailer was set up in such a way that Cameron Diaz’s and Lucy Liu’s trailers were visible through my window, through this little shade I had. I’d put down the blackout shade just enough to have my eye peeping through … I’d be inside totally going at it. Just the thought of them changing in their trailers was enough to get me off.”) and hanging out with his fully nekkid mother (“The nudity was weird, especially when her friends came over. All of them would just be naked around the house. That was strange for me … You’ve got your little buds over, and Mom’s, like, playing naked connect the dots or whatever.”). Hahahaha … oh yes, this interview is a treasure trove of fun information. You can read more excerpt from Shia’s Playboy interview HERE but you’ll have to pick up the actual magazine to read it in full.

‘Dollhouse’ Is ‘Looking Good’ For A Second Season

It looks promising!!!
Friday, May 15th, 2009

Woot! Things look very encouraging this afternoon that Fox is on the verge of giving Dollhouse a chance at a second season. Nothing has been officially announced just yet but Variety is reporting that prospects look good that Dollhouse will return this Fall for, at the very least, a 13-ep season. The bad news is that the plan is keep Dollhouse in its Friday night time slot. BUT, Friday nights or not, it would be AMAZING news if Dollhouse does get renewed!


As Fox preps for its upfront presentation on Monday, the net is said to be on the verge of renewing Joss Whedon’s frosh drama “Dollhouse,” and it has added another laffer to its frosh slate for the 2009-10 season. Word spread Friday ayem that “Dollhouse” is looking good for a 13-episode sophomore renewal and is likely to stay in its Friday night berth. The 20th Century Fox TV fantasy drama starring Eliza Dushku has delivered modest but consistent ratings on a low-trafficked night, thanks to Whedon’s built-in fan base.

Additionally, the site End of Show is reporting that Fox execs are screening the as-yet unseen 13th episode of this season of Dollhouse, titled Epitaph One, in their offices today in preparation for their upfronts presentation/announcement Monday that the show will return for a second season:

FOX Broadcasting Corp are currently screening the unaired 13th episode of Dollhouse at their offices. End Of Show can reveal the screening is part of their upfronts preparation. The network is reported by Variety to be prepping the Joss Whedon created series for a Fall return, for an inital 13 episode order. Reasons suggested by chatter for the potential return include the strong streaming numbers for the series, along with a loyal core and an impressive amount of upfront DVD preorders reported by retailers. A remaining sticking point, report sources at the studio, is the cost per episode. Fox Home Entertainment will be taking the series to this years Comic-Con convention to stage an unusually large DVD push, which should include a limited edition Blu-Ray release, including a note written by creator Joss Whedon inside each set.

This is all VERY encouraging. I don’t want to fully believe it until we hear the announcement from Fox themselves but I’m cautiously optimistic! I really hope Fox rethinks the Friday night timeslot … putting the show on Tuesday night (perhaps in the old Buffy the Vampire Slayer timeslot) would help the show grow its audience immensely. But honestly, I’m just thrilled at the prospect that the show may be returning at all. I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed that this good news turns out to be true.

‘Terminator: Salvation’ Premieres In Hollywood

The Resistance isn't futile
Friday, May 15th, 2009

Christian Bale, Aussie newcomer Sam Worthington and more were on hand here in LA last night for the Hollywood premiere of their new movie Terminator: Salvation. Celebs of varying degree made their way out to Grauman’s Chinese Theater for last night’s event. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals along with a report from last night’s soiree:


Christian Bale was all smiles during his red carpet walk for the premiere of his latest action film “Terminator Salvation” held at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Thursday, May 14. No sign of that angry actor who so famously went off on the film’s director of photography; instead, he hugged his wife Sibi Blazic to his side and behaved. Perhaps that’s because it isn’t Bale who is getting all the attention for this fourth installment in “The Terminator” series that began way back in 1984. That honor goes to Australian actor Sam Worthington, who breaks out in a big way in the massive action flick. The former bricklayer from Perth is the man of the hour, as was obvious at the elaborate after party set up in a parking lot across Hollywood Boulevard. As spotlights swept the scene and massive robots loomed over the revelers, Worthington was mobbed by excited new fans. He hung on tight to girlfriend Natalie Mark, and seemed to take it all in stride. “I think I’m in a lucky position to be getting offered roles that I find interesting,” said the 32-year-old actor who spent ten years working in Australian film, television, and theater before taking the leap to Hollywood. “I’m working with some very talented people and hopefully telling some good stories. And hopefully my work isn’t going to let those people down.” His co-stars on hand seemed happy with his performance as they did the meet-and-greet at the premiere. Moon Bloodgood, Jane Alexander, Anton Yelchin and Bryce Dallas Howard all made the star-studded scene, along with “Terminator” fans like Rose McGowan, Eric Dane, Anil Kapoor, Tyrese Gibson, Kathryn Morris, Brook Burke, Eric Mabius, and Kelly Osbourne. But despite the rumors swirling around the party, it turned out that California’s governor and the original star of “The Terminator” Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver did not make the premiere. They did, however send three of their children to the celebration. Katherine, Patrick, and Christopher Schwarzenegger represented the family, and watched their dad’s robot character return to the role that made him a household name 25 years ago.

It is a huge compliment to get top billing with a star like Christian Bale so it seems that Sam Worthington is really making his mark in Hollywood. You will note that both of their names are listed on the poster artwork for this film. I am not familiar with any of Worthington’s previous work but something tells me that we will be hearing a lot more about him soon. I understand that he has signed on to appear in the new James Cameron big budget blockbuster Avatar and he will be starring in the updated remake of Clash of the Titans. I am really anxious to see Terminator: Salvation cuz I’ve been hearing really great things. Here’s hopin’ the Aussie can keep up with the superstar Welsh Brit and hold his own as a leading man in this much anticipated action flick.

Madonna Denies Plans To Commit Herself To Jesus

"This is completely and totally not true"
Friday, May 15th, 2009

Contrary reports that came out earlier this week that claimed that the father of Jesus Luz told Quem magazine that his son and Madonna were planning to have a Kabbalah commitment ceremony of some kind, In Touch Weekly is reporting that Madonna’s longtime spokesperson Liz Rosenberg is denying that any such ceremony will take place. Damnit! And I already bought the happy couple a toaster:


Despite whispers of wedding bells, Madonna and her boy toy Jesus Luz have no plans to marry, a rep for the singer tells In Touch. “This is completely and totally not true,” her spokesperson says. Reports emerged on May 14 that the 22-year-old Brazilian hunk’s father, Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz, announced that his model son and the Material Girl, 50, would tie the knot in a Kabbalah service in New York. “The ceremony [that] will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy,” he allegedly told Brazilian magazine Quem. The star’s rep further denies that the proud papa spoke at all about the alleged nuptials to the mag. “Jesus’ father didn’t make any statement on this subject,” she adds. Madonna, who split from husband Guy Ritchie last fall, started dating her much-younger boyfriend in December.

HMMM. I don’t believe that Daddy Luz said anything about a wedding, just that there may be some sort of ceremony. He went on to say:

“I don’t know if there will, in fact, be a real marriage between Madonna and my son. It will be a type of ritual, but I do not know kabbalah [or if the ceremony] will have legal validity.”

I suppose it could still be interpreted that Madonna’s rep is denying a wedding but not necessarily denying another kind of ceremony. Tho, I find it all highly unlikely. Madge just got out of a long and, it now seems, unhappy marriage. That she would jump right back in and get into another commitment so soon after her last split is ridic. Tho, stranger things have happened. Ah well, I guess I’ll have to take my toaster gift back for a refund. Thankfully, Target has a painless return policy.

Game 7th Heaven

The TV Guide
Friday, May 15th, 2009

Yesterday afternoon I had to leave the safe confines of my home to get a bit of a haircut but I raced right back home to watch Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoff series which pitted the Detroit Red Wings against the Anaheim Ducks at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI. Altho I was a stressed out mess for most of the game, I was thrilled that Detroit was able to pull off the win at home and finish off the Mighty Ducks once and for all (click HERE to watch the game winning goal hit the net). My good friend Mark was able to attend yesterday’s Game 7 at the JLA and he sent me this great photo from the arena:


No word on if Mark was responsible for any of the octopi that were flung onto the ice during yesterday’s game. While I wish I could’ve been there myself, I’m glad that Mark was able to represent for me instead. It turns out that one of the Red Wings vs. the Chicago Blackhawks Detroit games will take place when I’m there early next month … I’m gonna see if I can get tix for Mark and me to go together :)

After the game was finished, David and I went out to Baby Blues BBQ in WeHo for a celebratory dinner (on the advice of my homie Dino) and we ran into Pink readers Cheryl and Angel. It was my pleasure meeting them both.

The rest of the night was spent watching the ol’ tele. Twas a fine night, a fine night indeed!!

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt Get Thrown Out Of An Airplane

Don't get excited, it's not what you think
Friday, May 15th, 2009

Newlyweds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have joined the cast of the new competitive Reality TV series on NBC titled I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! (think Celebrity Survivor) and in a new promo video for the show, Speidi (along with their fellow celebrity contestants) get thrown out of an airplane and are seen “hurtling” to the ground:


Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective) the couple were only pretending to be falling to their doom. Starting June 1 on NBC, Speidi will face contestants like Janice Dickinson, Sanjaya from American Idol, John Salley (ex-Detroit Pistons basketball player) and more in a month-long LIVE reality survival battle to be named King and Queen of the Jungle … or some such nonsense. This series has been imported from the UK where the show has been a marginal hit. After the jump, check out this new promo video and watch Speidi and co. “plummet” in front of a CGI green screen …
