Zack Morris Does ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’

Zack Attack
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Mark-Paul Gosselaar paid a little visit to the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show last night in his Saved By The Bell character Zack Morris. Gosselaar was really on the show to promote the new season of his TNT drama Raising the Bar but spent most of his appearance playing up the notion of a Saved By The Bell reunion. It’s pretty funny to see MPG in character as Zack Morris again … he doesn’t really look like he’s aged much at all:


As he’s established himself as a grown-up actor with roles on “NYPD Blue,” “Commander in Chief” and now “Raising the Bar,” Mark-Paul Gosselaar has (understandably) distanced himself from his first big role on “Saved by the Bell.” Consider the distance achieved. Gosselaar was a guest on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” Monday — and did the whole appearance in character as Zack Morris, his “Saved by the Bell” alter ego. Or is it that he’s been “Zack Morris” all along, and just had to change his name to “Mark-Paul Gosselaar” when he got his SAG card because there was already someone with his name in the union? Fallon has made it his mission to host a “Saved by the Bell” reunion on “Late Night,” and it looks like things are lining up. I only hope that Zack and Kelly can put aside any lingering hard feelings over their breakup.

Hahahahaha … so awesome! I’m pretty sure it won’t be too difficult to get the other Saved By The Bellers on board for a proper reunion … if anything, Mark-Paul er, I mean Zack Morris’s appearance shows that there is still a huge amount of love for Saved By The Bell. After the jump, check out Zack Morris’s full appearance on Late Night last night …

Emma Watson Is The New Face Of Burberry

Stylista
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Harry Potter’s Emma Watson has been turning into quite the little fashion plate lately. First we saw her posing in high fashion couture by Karl Lagerfeld and now we learn that she is featured in the new ad campaign for Burberry … here are a few of the promo pics that feature Miss Watson rockin’ the new Burberry collection:


Well, it’s nicer than her Hogwarts uniform. After weeks of speculation, Emma Watson was today unveiled as the face of Burberry. Photographed by Mario Testino, Watson looks extremely grown up in trench coats from the autumn/winter collection. Despite persistent rumours linking her to Chanel, and her ubiquitous presence at international fashion shows, Burberry is the first major advertising campaign that the 19-year-old Harry Potter star has landed. And it’s predicted the prestigious contract will boost her estimated £8million fortune by six figures. Shot by Mario Testino in Westminster, close to Burberry’s headquarters at Horseferry House, the images capture Watson in a collection inspired by Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury set. Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey told The Evening Standard: “Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign. Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.” He added: “I felt Emma would be strong enough to hold the campaign as the only girl, and I loved the idea of her being surrounded by these young, cool British guys.” Watson first appeared as Hermione Granger alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone in 2001. The sixth film Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is released on 15 July.

She looks great! I love the way that Emma Watson is growing into a beautifully mature young woman. She seems the perfect choice for major brands to turn when when looking for a celebrity spokesperson. The girl has a level head on her shoulders, she’s good at her craft and she’s got the poise to represent these high end brands. It’s no wonder that the design houses are fighting over her. Keep up the good work, Emma.

Leonardo DiCaprio & Bar Refaeli Are Dunzo!

On a "break"
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

People magazine is reporting that the very on-again, off-again couple Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have decided to call things off again … they’re dunzo, y’all:


On-again off-again couple Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have called it quits once more, sources confirm to PEOPLE. “They’re taking time off for the time being, they’ve split,” says a source. “It could just end up as a break but for now they’re doing their own thing.” That much was certainly apparent over the weekend as the Israeli-born Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 23, walked the red carpet at Hollywood Life’s 11th Annual Young Hollywood Awards solo, refusing to speak about DiCaprio, while the Titanic star, 34, hit the hotspot Avenue in New York City, where he was seen chatting with another woman. “He was standing at the bar in front of everyone talking to a girl the entire night – and it wasn’t Bar,” says one onlooker. “It was in no way behavior for a guy who has a serious girlfriend.” (DiCaprio and Refaeli were then reportedly photographed together in Los Angeles on Monday night.) According to a Refaeli source, the model’s desire to get serious may have caused the actor to have doubts about their relationship. “She wanted to move faster than he did, she wanted to move in together,” the source says, “so he broke it off.”

First Jiley are dunzo and then these two break-up … what the eff is going on? At least we can take heart that it appears that L. Ron have gotten back together again. It should be noted that US Weekly is reporting via a source of their own that Leo and Bar have not broken up:

Contrary to a new report, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli haven’t split, a source close to the couple tells Usmagazine.com. “They are still together,” the source says.

Hahahaha! Way to come back US Weekly. Considering the track records between these two publications, I’d place more value on the report from People. Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t strike me as the settling down type of guy … so I can see how pressure from a girl to take things in a more serious direction might make him head for the hills. I’m sure that the supermodel will have no problem finding a new guy … and I have no doubt that Leo will quickly find himself a new chick.

Taylor Lautner Was Once A Wee Pup

Like, 2 years ago
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Pink reader Stephanie sends in a cute pic of Twilight star Taylor Lautner when he was but a wee lad in the 4th grade (which really wasn’t that long ago). This page from Taylor’s elementary school yearbook made its way to Facebook and, eventually, made its way to us … behold:


Aww … it looks like Taylor has finally grown into his ears. That smile is unmistakable. This pic looks like it was taken around the same time that Taylor first found fame as Sharkboy in his debut film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D. My, my …

… they do grow up quickly … don’t they?

Miley Cyrus & Justin Gaston Are Dunzo!

Peace the Spork Out, Jiley
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Say it ain’t so!! Could the illicit love affair between 16 year old Miley Cyrus and her 20 year old manfriend Justin Gaston really be over? According to E! News, yes … the couple have called it quits. Jiley is dunzo, y’all:


Gone are the times of romantic, helmet-free bike rides and sweet sushi lunches. Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston are so over. The 16-year-old starlet has ended her nine-month romance with the 20-year-old underwear model, sources close to the duo exclusively confirm to E! News. The Hannah Montana star called things off last week as she prepared to leave Los Angeles for two months to shoot her Nicholas Sparks movie, The Last Song, in Savannah, Ga. Speculation of trouble peaked yesterday when the two simultaneously twittered about tears and goodbyes. A source close to the couple says both of them are really heartbroken over the split. However, word is distance may not have been the only thing to come between the two. A certain famous ex-BF may have exacerbated the rift… Gaston, a Louisiana native, has told pals that the star’s resurrected friendship with Nick Jonas this spring was his Achilles’ heel. “She obviously has been hanging out with Nick again a lot, and Justin was cool with it at first, as long as it was just a cool, friendly thing,” says an insider. “She didn’t cheat, but I guess Nick was trying to get her back the whole time.” In fact, photos of the former pop power couple goofing around during a video shoot surfaced just yesterday. And Saturday, Cyrus left a mildly mysterious message on her Twitter account. “I’m in a dark theater ‘writing’ a song with nick j who is rockin a faded eggplant shirt! :)” “Writing” is a euphemism for what, exactly, Miles? Not only will Cyrus have a new man soon, she also has a new agent. E! News has learned that the starlet dropped her agents at United Talent Agency and is now represented by CAA. Cyrus’s music career has long been handled by CAA, but UTA represented her TV and film acting projects. A rep for Cyrus had no comment.

Aww … sad face. What is poor Justin gonna do now? While we know that the rest of the Cyrus family really, really loves Justin Gaston (especially daddy Billy Ray), I think it would be really weird for the fam to be hangin’ out with Justin now that Miley has kicked him to the curb. It looks like homeboy really is going to be living “with a couple of guys” in a small apartment in North Hollywood, CA after all. Twist magazine is reporting that Nick Jonas has confirmed that he and Miley worked on a song together recently … so I guess it’s plausible that her interaction with Nicky led to the demise of Jiley. HMMM. Well, now mebbe Miley will get back to dating someone her own (less felonious) age … and Justin can, well, find another meal ticket. Yeah, good luck with that bro!

What Happens In Vegas . . .

The TV Guide
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Yesterday afternoon, David and I made our way to the ArcLight in Hollywood, CA to see The Hangover after hearing so many good things about the flick. We decided to go to a movie at 5:30 in order to avoid the crush of people also vying for a chance to see this movie … we were happy to find the theater mostly empty. As far as comedies go, this one was pretty good … but I’m afraid it wasn’t nearly as hilarious as everyone seems to be saying:


Let me be clear … The Hangover is really funny but, again, it ain’t the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. The juvenile humor was pretty entertaining (tho, I can really do without the “faggot” jokes) and the crazy shizz that goes down was insanely entertaining but I was really annoyed that all the funny parts were prominently shown in the trailer for the film. There are a few funny gags that are not shown in the trailer but, I’m afraid, if you’ve seen the trailer then you’ve pretty much seen the film. I understand that The Hangover 2 is already in the works … so hardcore fans of the film have that to look forward to.

Next, David and I want to see Drag Me to Hell … which also has been getting ridiculously positive reviews. I hope that one lives up to the hype. BUT TONIGHT … I will be chillin’ with some good friends watching Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final rooting for my beloved Detroit Red Wings! They are only 1 game away from winning the Stanley Cup again!


Last year, the Red Wings defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pittsburgh to win the 2008 Stanley Cup, I’m really hoping for a repeat tonight!! Woot!!! I will pretty much be a wreck for the rest of the day … I’m really hopin’ for a happy outcome for the Wings :)
