We are still about 3 months away from the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra in theaters but the promotional goodies just keep on comin’. Here is our first look at the just-released full-color international poster that features both team Joe and team Cobra on the same one-sheet:

Empire magazine has debuted this new international poster for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, coming to theaters on August 7. Directed by Stephen Sommers, the action-adventure stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung Hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Said Taghmaoui, Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans and Dennis Quaid. From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos.

I really love how Sienna Miller’s character The Baroness really needed a wind machine to blow out her hair so dramatically for this poster. It works, I approve. You will also note that the Cobra character The Doctor is featured in the top right corner of the poster … G.I. Joe fans know that The Doctor will eventually become Cobra Commander. I cannot wait to see how Joseph Gordon Levitt will bring that character to life. I know there is some concern that the film will not live up to the expectations of rabid G.I. Joe fans but I have faith that Paramount will give us a good, action-packed film. Hello, Channing Tatum is in it … what else needs to be said … other than, Yo Joe!!

After spending a couple of weeks gallivanting (and grossing people out) around Europe, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt made their way back to the US yesterday landing at JFK Airport in NYC flying in from London, England. I guess since they are both US citizens we kinda have to take ‘em back … but if any nice country out there would like to adopt and keep them, I’m sure we can work out an arrangement (we’ll pay, handsomely). But for now … they’re our problem again. Here are pics of the happy couple as they made their way thru the arrivals area at JFK:

When last we heard from Pug Dilton, they were teasing the press by saying that they might be getting married in France but, alas, it never came to pass. At least we can take heart that the sanctity of marriage is reserved for the likes of Pug Dilton. Doesn’t that thought warm the cockles of your heart?

Emma Watson, star of the Harry Potter movie franchise and emerging fashion model, is featured in the new issue of the French fashion magazine Crash in a very interesting photoshoot shot by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Here are a couple of Emma’s, shall we say, fashion-forward looks for the mag:

This is not the first time she’s crossed over from actress to model. In fact, it’s becoming something of a habit. And Emma Watson’s latest photoshoot is the most daring and unusual yet. In one of the pictures, she appears as a ghostly-looking nun, with a veil, white eyebrows and an other-wordly expression on her face. In another, she is considerably less ethereal, wearing an Alexander McQueen bodice-style top and a revealing Vivienne Westwood shirt. The photos were taken for French fashion magazine Crash by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 19-year-old Harry Potter star agreed to the shoot after meeting him at a party. She told the magazine: “This was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together and he can talk about anything – literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced.” Miss Watson, who took part in a shoot for Italian Vogue last year, is currently filming the first installment of the final Harry Potter film.

Normally, I hate photoshoots like this. Making women look like aliens does nothing for me. But, I do love it when someone like Björk does interesting things with her look, so I guess — for me — it depends on the subject of the photo. That said, I love Emma Watson and I like these odd pics of her. After the jump, check out a few more pics from this shoot — they’re deffo Lagerfeld but, I think, are kinda cool …

It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen photos of Grey’s Anatomy star TR Knight out and about with his young beau Mark Cornelsen and I was beginning to wonder if something was amiss in their relationship. It turns out that the couple have just been lying low and things appear to still be going strong in their relationship. The Mark-Knight stepped out for dinner together at Katsuya in Hollywood, CA last night:

Awww … they’re still holding hands. I really like these two together. I’m really happy to know that they are still together … they are deffo one of my fave couples. Now that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are no longer together, The Mark-Knight moves up in my book as the cutest same-sex couple around.

Nicole Richie brought along her adorable baby girl Harlow Winter to the CNN studios here in LA yesterday to tape an appearance with her father Lionel Richie on Larry King Live. Because the pics of Harlow lookin’ all cute with her hair did are TOO ADORABLE to let pass … I figured I’d share them with all y’all:

I believe Nicole and Lionel’s ep of Larry King Live will air tomorrow night and, unfortch, little Miss Harlow will not get any airtime … fortunately we have these photos to make up for the loss. Just when I thought Harlow couldn’t get any cuter, she goes and outdoes herself. Those little hair puffs?? Adorable!! Ain’t she the cutest thing ever??

It turns out that trouble has found Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael, again. The New York Post is reporting that Daddy Lohan was “quietly” arrested in early April after police determined that he allegedly threatened to kill his fiancée Erin Mueller (the couple have since reconciled). For obvs reasons, Lohan was hoping that no one would find out about this latest arrest … but, unfortch for him, the cat is out of the bag. Michael Lohan got his ass busted … again:

LINDSAY Lohan’s sleazebag dad, Michael Lohan, is in trouble again — this time for allegedly threatening to kill his fiancée and himself when she tried to dump him. Michael was quietly arrested on April 6 for a phone threat cops said he placed to off-again, on-again gal pal Erin Muller, 34, on March 18. Lohan, 48, flipped out yesterday when he walked into Central Islip court and spotted Post reporter Kieran Crowley and photographer Dennis Clark. “Michael! Plan two!” shouted Lohan’s lawyer, Anthony Grandinette, as his client fled. “Plan two” consisted of Lohan and Muller hiding in her car while Grandinette appeared on his behalf. Lohan faces up to a year behind bars. He couldn’t have picked a better time for the alleged threat, because terms of his parole ended on Feb. 7. He’s due in family court in Westbury today, when he’ll have to explain why he’s behind in child support — by $12,000, sources told The Post.

Ugh … with parents like these, it’s no wonder that poor Lindsay Lohan has endured the troubles in her life that have plagued her for so long. Considering that Michael Lohan is an ex-con who has already served time in prison, you’d think he’d be more willing to live a life on the straight and narrow to avoid getting thrown back into the slammer. It would seem that he has yet to learn his lesson. Perhaps another stint in the Big House would do much to teach him the err of his ways.

Yesterday was another quiet day for me until I met up with my new friend Tamar for dinner at Rambutan Thai in Silverlake for dinner. She and I bonded in Las Vegas, NV a couple of weekends ago and we decided to grab a bite to eat and chat some more once I got back from my travels. I was hoping to surprise her with the best Thai food she’s ever had but was happy to know that she is well aware of the fabulosity of Rambutan already. We had a great time … we pretty much talked all night long until the restaurant closed and they had to chase us out. I’m really looking forward to more hanging out soon … Tamar is totally fab and I’m hoping this is the beginning of a long and happy friendship.

I have a few errands to run today and then prep begins for David’s and my trip to Detroit this weekend. I’ll be glued to the TV for tonight’s Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Western Conference Championship between the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks. Detroit has the chance to win the series tonight so I’m keepin’ all my fingers and toes crossed for them. If they do win, the Stanley Cup Championship could start in Detroit as early as this coming weekend … and happily, I’ll be in Detroit at the same time. Not trying to get too ahead of myself but I’m really hoping to get to see at least one more Red Wings hockey game before the season is over ;)
