Nine Inch Nails played the last of 2 dates scheduled at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL last night which are said to be the last NIN concerts ever for that region of the country. The band has already made their way to Toronto, ON for a headlining performance at the Virgin Festival ’09 at the Molson Amphitheater tonight (the final international date for Nine Inch Nails) … but here is a shot taken by NIN photographer Rob Sheridan of the fans filing out of the Aragon Ballroom after last night’s performance:

Next up for Nine Inch Nails, the last 4 dates of the Wave Goodbye Tour which will all take place at different venues in Los Angeles, CA (The Palladium, The Henry Fonda Theatre, The Wiltern and Echoplex). Trent Reznor gave an interview to The Los Angeles Times about these final, final shows … here is a portion of that interview:

There was something about a Nine Inch Nails show in the daylight that just felt wrong. “Maybe,” Trent Reznor said in a sly murmur, “it was the fact that it wasn’t dark.” Reznor, the angst auteur behind Nine Inch Nails, toured this summer with Jane’s Addiction with every intention of retiring from the road. The plan, Reznor had said, was to put the band’s concert life on hiatus for a decade or so and to say farewell with a twist, as the opening act for the elder Jane’s latest reunion. But there was all that sunshine. “I chose for us to play first; I thought it would be a respectful thing for Jane’s and also be interesting for us to have the challenge of playing often and in daylight,” Reznor said. “But then, well, these were the last shows we were doing. We could pull off something better than that, something that leaves a better taste in our mouths.” That something is now the hottest ticket in town — four sold-out L.A. shows in the next eight days, all in venues that vary from small to tiny in comparison to the band’s usual arena settings. On Wednesday, it’s the refurbished Hollywood Palladium; the next night, it’s the Henry Fonda Theater. On Sept. 5, Nails will play the Wiltern Theatre and Sept. 6, the EchoPlex, the downstairs dance hall below the Echo club. The 44-year-old music star said the goal was “a very, very limited run of shows and that each would be special and more fan-orientated and not in cavernous arenas, but places where you actually like to see bands. It seemed like a way for fans to wish us off.”

After my bizzy week in NYC last week, I was lookin’ to do a whole lotta nothin’ this weekend. David and I spent a quiet day inside and away from the blistering heat outside. We stepped out for late lunch and to run some erreands, tho. I needed to pick up the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard upgrade disc and we needed to get some food for our cubbards:

I spent much of the evening with the upgrade (which was easy, quick and totally painless) and David and I put down a bottle of twistcap wine. Trust me, it was a nice night :)

This evening, I believe we are meeting up with Darion for our weekly hang session … movie? dinner? We’ll see.

While temperatures are soaring outside (well, at least here in SoCal), I think it would be appropriate to amp up the hotness level here on the blog this find Sunday as well … oh, and look at that … right in time to say hello to the Hot Dude of the Week! Say hello to Patrick L:

HMMM … Mr. Patrick here has taken all the guesswork out of deciding which is hotter — speedos or boardshorts — and just skips right to the underwear … which look like a jock strap, actually. MMMM MMMM. Yes, there is something to be said for minimalism, don’t you think? Enjoy!!

In the past couple of weeks we’ve seen actors from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse roaming the streets of Vancouver, BC (where the film is currently in production) doing pretty much everything BUT working on the film (tho we did see photos of Bryce Dallas Howard [Victoria] and Xavier Samuel [Riley] shooting a scene last Tuesday). One presumes that actual work has been underway but until today we’ve not been privy to any evidence to that effect. Here, at last, are photos of Kristen Stewart, in costume as Twilight protagonist Bella Swan, and Billy Burke, in costume as her on-screen dad with a penchant for the porn’stache Charlie Swan, on the set of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse earlier this week:

Is it terribly wrong that I like the porn’stache on daddy Swan? Yeah, prolly. In any event, you will notice that Bella is clutching her fake diploma in her photo which means that they were shooting the graduation scene in the film. Exciting, no? After the jump, check out a photo of the perfectly coiffed and adequately pale Robert Pattinson, in costume as Edward Cullen, skulking elsewhere on the Eclipse set this week as well …

After gettin’ hitched a couple of weeks ago and then promptly jetting off to the South Pacific for their relaxing honeymoon, it looks like the party is over for newlyweds Alyssa Milano and David Bugliari who left the serenity of their tropical getaway yesterday. Considering how amazingly relaxing their honeymoon sounded, I’d say they are quite refreshed and ready to get back to whatever it is that they’ve got going on these days:

A week after they celebrated their love with a romantic country wedding for 175 friends and family members, newlyweds Alyssa Milano and David Bugliari are enjoying every moment of their private honeymoon getaway. “They’re having an incredible time,” says a friend of the couple’s. “They’ve already celebrated their one-week anniversary.” Indeed, the lovebirds have giddily Tweeted from their tropical travels to an undisclosed South Pacific resort. “A week ago today, I married my best friend,” Milano, 36, wrote on Aug. 22. “Seems like yesterday. Time flies.” Later that day Bugliari, 30, wrote: “1st [Alyssa] & I had a cooking class – amazing. 2nd, spa – amazing! Then dinner … yup, amazing”

But, alas, like all good things … their honeymoon holiday is over. Again, let’s send out our love and congrats to the happy couple on their nuptials and wish them a lifetime of happiness together. Now the countdown begins for Alyssa‘s bump watch. What do y’all think, will it be sooner or later?

Here are a couple supercute pics of the Stefani-Rossdale family enjoying a peaceful stroll on a beach in Malibu, CA this weekend just one week after they celebrated the first birthday of their newest child, Zuma Nesta Rock. Here are Gwen, Zuma, Gavin and Kingston soaking up the sun yesterday afternoon:

It’s been really dang hot here in SoCal in the past few days (temps have exceeded 100°F in many parts of the area) so it would make sense that the family would want to spend as much time as possible at the beach. While I would encourage that the little tykes wear some kind of head covering in all that sun, I’m certain they have been swathed in überprotective sunscreen. I’m curious to see how long this little family stays a foursome … cuz I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they began working on their next addition to the family.

Alyson Hannigan and her beautiful baby girl Satyana spent part of their afternoon strolling the streets of Santa Monica, CA yesterday enjoying a lovely walk together. Normally, we see photos of Alyson and/or hubby Alexis Denisof pushing the Little Miss in her covered baby carriage … but yesterday, Satayana showed her beautiful little face for all to see:

Are you seriously dying from all the cuteness? That face, those wittle feet … that hat! OY! Satyana is so freakin’ cute. While I completely understand that her parents want to protect her and keep her underwraps, it’s nice to get a quick look at what a beautiful little girl she’s growing into. It’s hard to believe she’s about to be 6 months old in just a few weeks … where does the time go.

Blink-182 played a concert in Hartford, CN last night one day after their dear friend Adam DJ AM Goldstein was found dead in his NYC apartment. As most of you are well aware, Blink drummer Travis Barker survived a deadly plane crash with DJ AM last year … an event that bonded the men in a way that is unimaginable to most people. During their show last night, the band paid tribute to AM in tearful song. Here are photos from last night’s Blink-182 show and some deets on what went down:

Having expressed his sadness earlier in the day via Twitter about the loss of his friend DJ AM, Travis Barker had to face the music – and the crowd – at a Blink-182 concert Saturday night in Hartford, Conn. “This night is really hard for us on stage,” bassist Mark Hoppus said from the stage. “We lost a dear friend yesterday. His name was Adam Goldstein. You probably know him as DJ AM. He was an innovator and a genius and he loved music more than anything else. Above all he was a dear friend.” Before the show – as Barker’s son Landon, 5, stood on stage drumming against the wall with a pair of drumsticks – crewmembers tossed TRV$ DJ-AM CDs into the audience. The CD features a collaboration between Barker and Goldstein. During the concert, the trio asked the crowd for a moment of silence to honor their “dear friend Adam.” As the lights dimmed, audience members raised their lighters above their heads in a show of respect. Fans also yelled out, “I love you guys,” as members of the group began to cry. A song in Goldstein’s honor followed. “This song is called ‘Down.’ and it goes something like this,” said Hoppus. As guitarist Tom DeLonge delivered the lyric “I need you so bad,” tears rolled down the cheeks of all three members of Blink-182. “We are doing our very best to get through this show,” said Hoppus, “but right now it’s very hard.” At the song’s conclusion, Barker – who had been Goldstein’s fellow survivor in a September 2008 plane crash – rubbed his eyes and held his head in his hands. Despite jokes from his bandmates about sex, drugs and drinking, Barker remained silent and did not smile or laugh. He also did not interact with the crowd, and left the stage before DeLonge finished the song. Once the concert ended, Hoppus returned to the stage and told the crowd, “Thank you very much. Although today is one of the hardest days in our entire lives, we wouldn’t want to spend it anywhere else. Thank you for all of your support.”

I cannot even begin to imagine the toll this has to be taking on Travis Barker. The thought that the two men were the sole survivors of such a horribly traumatic experience not too long ago and now Barker has to grieve all over again for the lost of his friend is just … heartbreaking. It’s encouraging that Travis is throwing himself into his work and talking about his pain … he posted a few messages in tribute to his friend on his official Twitter account yesterday … here they are:

Don’t know how i am gonna play 2night but i am for AM. My brother is gone.i love u and miss u, i’ll never forget all the good times we had … I’ll never forget everything we’ve been thru and every time i play the drums i’ll think of you. U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being … Rest In Peace my brother, this really fucks me up.
