First Look: Brooke Hogan, ‘The Redemption’

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Um … the cover artwork for Brooke Hogan’s new album The Redemption has made its way to the Internets … here is our first look at the new masterpiece:


Say this about the cover for Brooke Hogan’s second album, The Redemption: It’ll certainly look good when it’s replicated for the side of her tour bus. Or on the missing swaths of denim that were removed from an innocent pair of jeans during an assless chapectomy. I guess this is what happens when you get a VH1 show / learn that there’s no such thing as bad press?

At first, I thought this coverphoto was the cruel work of a jokester who very clearly hates Brooke Hogan. Then I realized that it originally came from Brooke’s official website … so it’s her record company that really hates her. This SURELY must be the fugliest album cover that has EVER existed and will ever exist … ever. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA seems to pretty much say it all.

Guy Ritchie Makes A Friend Of His Own

Why should Madonna have all the friends?
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Guy Ritchie spent the Memorial Day weekend here in SoCal and was invited to a party in Malibu where it looked as if he made himself a new friend … a ladyfriend, that is. I suppose it’s possible that Guy and this blonde woman are “just friends” like Madonna and her 22 year old Brazilian toyboy model Jesus Luz are … or, they could just really be friends:


To be clear, Guy’s goodbye kiss with this woman looks totally innocent. He was prolly just thanking her for a lovely party and that was all. I honestly don’t think that Guy Ritchie is lookin’ to jump into another relationship anytime soon. He seems happy tending to work and his children. That said, I do like Guy and I hope — when he’s ready — he finds a nice woman that will love and appreciate him. I’d deffo like to see him settled at some point.

GyllenSpoon Celebrates Memorial Day With Roberty Downey, Jr.

Beach party!
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Reese Witherspoon and her beau Jake Gyllenhaal joined Robert Downey, Jr. his son Indio Falconer and others for a private beach party in Malibu, CA yesterday afternoon. While GyllenSpoon did everything they could not to be photographed together (which makes absolutely no sense to me at all considering the many, many times we’ve seen them together), RDJ gave a very friendly wave and a hearty hello to the assembled photogs:


I really love the cut of Downey, Jr.’s jib. The man is always pretty easy-going about his fame and tends to be very friendly towards the attention that his celebrity gets him. You gotta love a celeb that embraces their fame rather than those that seem annoyed that they’re famous. While I’m sure the party was very fun, I bet I’d like hanging out with the very friendly RDJ rather than the usually crabby GyllenSpoon.

Björk Does ‘Interview’ Magazine

Náttúra Woman
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Bjork.com has been updated with the news that Björk is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Interview magazine. Featured with other “assorted visionaries”, Björk is highlighted by photos from Inez & Vinoodh and M/M and an interview conducted by Mathias Augustyniak & Michael Amzalag. Here is her colorful cover:


At this point, there is no other information available from this issue of Interview other than it will be “out in the next few days”. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Björk on the scene. I really loved her Icelandic documentary Náttúra (which is now available on iTunes) as well as her last album Volta. Hopefully this new interview with Interview will hint at a new album? I can’t wait to see more!!

Jesus Luz Speaks, Gives His First TV Interview

Says of Madonna, "She's my friend, only a friend."
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Jesus Luz, who has been spending his time shopping for jewelry for Madonna as well as starting up a new career as a DJ, took time out of his bizzy schedule to give his first televised interview to the Brazilian TV show Fantástico wherein he talked about things as varied as his career, his ambitions and, of course, Madonna. Here are a few screencaps from his interview and a rundown of his interview:


Jesus Luz has spoken for the first time about his on/off lover Madonna, saying she is ‘beautiful’ and has ‘no visible faults’. In an interview with Brazilian television, the model heaped praise on the singer, but insisted they are just friends. He said: “Madonna is beautiful, a person full of positive energy, with no visible faults. I found her marvellous. Her personality also impressed me. She is a person I admire a lot, a friend in my life, who I remain in contact with. But apart from that I cannot say more.” He denied claims that the pair are set to tie the knot, insisting: “She’s my friend, only a friend. There are no wedding plans, no wedding presents, she’s just a friend, who I speak to frequently as I do with my friends in Rio de Janeiro,” he added, in his native Portuguese. Madonna, 50, met Jesus, 22, on the set of a W magazine shoot in Brazil last December. Despite rumours of a split earlier this year, the couple seem to be going strong and have increasingly been seen out and about in New York of late. In February he joined the singer and her three children David, three, Rocco, eight and Lourdes, 12, at a Kabbalah service in the city. And last week their wore similar cream outfits as they arrived for another Kabbalah ceremony in New York. The model’s father Luiz Heitor Pinto da Luz has hinted in an interview that they are preparing to exchange religious vows. He said: “My understanding is that this is just a consequence of what is happening. He is already living with her. I don’t know if there will be an actual wedding. From what I have read there could be a sort of ritual, but I don’t know Kabbalah… to know if it’s valid and legal.” And the rumours strengthened when Jesus was seen in a jewellery store in Rio. But the singer’s spokeswoman said the wedding rumours were “completely and totally not true.” In the TV interview Jesus also denied having been converted by Madonna, and said: “I used to go to Catholic church in Rio, and Evangelical churches, but I don’t have any special feelings for any specific religion, I respect all of them.”

As far as first interviews go, this one is pretty tame. Naturally he didn’t give away too much information and he did deny that anything romantic is going on between he and Madonna. I just don’t buy the friends thing. Why would Madonna want a 22 year old male friend? It makes no sense … but keep touting the party line, Jesus. It’s bound to keep you in her Madgesty’s good graces. This interview is available for viewing in full online — but it is in Portuguese. After the jump, check out the video in full if you so desire …

Couch Potato

The TV Guide
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Despite my best efforts to leave the house yesterday (which basically came down to deciding whether to eat out or order in), I ended up spending most of the day in front of the TV catching up on some of my fave shows (In Treatment) and watching some great movies (Footloose, Return of the Jedi and Legally Blonde). That was pretty much my day. After all the running around we’ve been doing the previous week, I was totally fine with staying in. David and I will be flying out to Detroit on Friday for all of next week so I’m pretty much planning on doing more of the same this week. I am meeting up with a friend for dinner at Rambutan Thai tonight but other than that, no big plans for the day.
