Last week we got to check out a promo trailer for the upcoming 3rd season of Gossip Girl, which will premiere on The CW on Monday September 14, and today we get to check out the new promo poster that has just been released for the show:

Fairly straightforward, nothing that surprising. The core group of Gossips lookin’ stylishly fabulous as usual. The first thing I think of when I see the characters in this photo is College Students, don’t you? We’re just a few weeks away from the start of a whole new season of drama and I’ll take it, even if it looks ridiculously unrealistic.

After spending some time with their mother Madonna and her much younger toyboy Jesus Luz in Portofino, Italy earlier this week in celebration of her 51st birthday, Rocco John and David Banda were reunited with their father Guy Ritchie in London, England today so that they could spend time with their pops. Interestingly enough, Guy’s female work associate Lauren Meek (who worked with him on his films RocknRolla and Sherlock Holmes) spent the day with Ritchie and his sons … could it be that she and Guy are more than just work friends?

Sure, the mere fact that she was hangin’ with Guy and his sons doesn’t necessarily mean that anything of a romantic nature is going on but … I dunno. He’s a very attractive man, she’s an attractive woman. From what I understand about their relationship work-wise, he refers to her as his “rock”, especially in the wake of his divorce from Madonna. This may very well be what Guy’s new family looks like these days … and everyone looks very happy. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

Last month Madonna released a few short teaser video clips to promote the release of her upcoming greatest hits album Celebration but this week she releases a full-on promo video for the disc which includes a tiny peek at her music video for her single Celebration. Here are a few screencaps:

The colors are great and I love the snippets from some of her greatest hit songs that appear … and the tease for the Celebration video ain’t bad either. After the jump, check out the minute-long clip and see for yourselves …

Marc Jacobs was visited by the Diva herself, Miss Piggy, this week when she swung by his SoHo design studio to meet with the designer about looks for her appearances at NY Fashion Week next month. Here is a pic of the new BFFs at Jacobs’s studio this week:

I understand Marc was under EXPRESS orders NOT to style Miss Piggy in those infamous bunny ears he made for Madonna … you know, just so there would be no confusion between the two ;) After the jump, check out another photo of Marc and the Miss looking over design ideas …

Ugh … so things are a little slow-going today because I’m operating on just a few hours sleep. My red eye flight from LA to NYC was totally perfect, uncomplicated but rolling into town at 5AM and then trying to get some sleep only to wake up and work was ROUGH. As y’all should be well aware by now, I’m here in NYC for the upcoming string of final Wave Goodbye Tour shows which will take place starting Saturday night at Bowery Ballroom, Sunday at Webster Hall and Tuesday & Wednesday at Terminal 5. The final shows then will move on to Chicago and then conclude in LA. Nine Inch Nails released the official poster artwork for the NYC shows today:

The poster was unveiled on the official NIN Twitter account along with news of the merchandise that will be sold at the final shows:

Merchandise that will be available at the upcoming shows: dateback tee, event tee, women’s tee, tanktop, tour poster, city poster … There will be an event tee for each individual show (excluding V Fest). There will be three limited posters: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles.

I cannot tell you how excited I am. I have a couple days to kill before the first show on Saturday at Bowery Ballroom … it feels like the calm before the storm. I’m very geeked, y’all.

Not sure what the plan is for tonight … I’ve never been in NYC all by myself before … but I do have some really great friends who live here so I’m sure I’ll find something to do ;) It’s muggy and really gross humid here in NYC … but, I’m loving it :)

Director James Cameron and 20th Century Fox have decided that today is Avatar Day — the day that the world gets its first real look at footage from the 3D action/adventure/fantasy movie Avatar due out in theaters on December 18. At IMAX theaters all around the country today, folks will be screening 10 minutes of the much hyped film but right now we get to check out a short teaser trailer that will give us all a taste of Cameron’s new project. Here are a few screencaps from the Avatar teaser trailer:

Avatar takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, Avatar delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

To be entirely honest, I have no effing idea what this movie is about. At first, I confused it with the M. Night Shyamalan film Avatar: The Last Airbender but I believe that is an entirely different story altogether. As best I can put together, Avatar tells the tale of a paralyzed ex-Marine who gets put in the body of a hybrid creature that is half human half Na’vi on the seemingly primitive rain forest-like planet of Pandora … or something like that. Alls I really know is that Avatar is supposed to be the most amazing 3D movie ever made and promises to be the coolest movie ever seen. Yeah, we’ll see about that. After the jump, check out the teaser trailer in full and see for yourself …
