Camila Alves Brings Her Baby Bump To The Beach

Bump Watch
Monday, August 31st, 2009

Over the weekend we saw photos of Matthew McConaughey and his first born son Levi Alves enjoying a day at the beach together and today we get to see a couple more beachy pics but this time with mama Camila Alves and her burgeoning baby bump. Here are pics of Camila, Matthew and their 1 1/2 kids in Malibu, CA yesterday:


While none of them look all too happy, they still make a very cute family. I’m still amazed at how much Matthew has settled down since he started his family with Camila. Seeing him carry around his son is just the cutest thing … and it’s very nice seeing Camila growing another baby in her womb. All this baby makin’ going on … I wonder who’s next.

Nine Inch Nails ‘Wave Goodbye’ To Toronto, Canada

The last international performance
Monday, August 31st, 2009

Nine Inch Nails was the headlining act at the Virgin Festival in Toronto, Ontario last night at the Molson Amphitheater, which was the final international performance by the band before they end their Wave Goodbye Tour later this week. After completing their string of dates in NYC last week and a couple of dates in Chicago this past weekend, NIN made their way up to Toronto to play their final international date. Here are a couple pics from last night’s raucous performance:


Altho he was fighting off illness, Trent Reznor pulled out all the stops for last night’s performance and ended up destroying some of his equipment on stage during the performance of Terrible Lie … which hearkened back to the days when NIN would routinely destroy equipment on stage back in the day. After the jump, check out a few more photos from last night’s gig (including a pic of one of TR’s destroyed keyboards), see the full setlist from last night’s show, find out what the festival caterers whipped up especially for the band and watch video of TR tearing shit up during Terrible Lie

Part Of Your World

The TV Guide
Monday, August 31st, 2009

Most of yesterday was nice and lazy but in the late afternoon, David and I met up with his good friend Ben who is visiting this week from NYC. We met up at Kate Mantilini’s for afternoon cocktails and got to hear all about the cabaret show he is directing here for Natalie Joy Johnson … which we are going to see tonight:


After drinks, David and I met up with Darion and his friend Alex for dinner in Century City … before Darion, David and I caught a showing of the new Hayao Miyazaki animated film Ponyo:


I am a huge fan of Miyazaki’s films and Ponyo is right up there with the best of them. It’s a fantastical take on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale The Little Mermaid but with much more flair and magical wonder. The main voices in the English version are that of Frankie Jonas (the littlest Jonas brother) as Sosuke and Noah Cyrus (Miley’s little sister) as Ponyo … but that should NOT deter you from seeing the film. Other vocal performances are provided by Tina Fey, Cate Blanchett, Betty White, Liam Neesom, Matt Damon and Lily Tomlin! Such an amazing cast of voices! But the real draw is the beautiful animation and the wild storytelling … sure, Ponyo shows a world where it’s perfectly fine for a 5 year old boy to be left alone during a tsunami, with matches and a little fish-turned-girl who it is hoped he falls in love with to make her human AND save the world … but that’s what makes this film such an amazing fairy tale. The story is really kinda out there but you just have to go with it and get lost in the wonder. I loved it entirely!

Tonight, as I mentioned above, David and I are going to see Natalie Joy Johnson’s cabaret show with Ben … should be fun. So much going on this week … it’s gonna be a good one!!
