Tween heartthrob and break-out Twilight star Taylor Lautner is coming into his own as he is featured on the cover and in the page of the October issue of Teen Vogue magazine. Under the cover headline, WE Heart Taylor Lautner, Tay Tay gives those come hither eyes enticing all the young Teen Vogue readers to snap up this issue … behold:

According to Taylor, there is a very specific sort of girl who’s going to sign up for what’s become known to Twilight fans as Team Jacob. “If she likes having a really close friendship with a guy,” he begins, “being able to tell him anything, and then having that friendship slowly transform into something more….” The seventeen-year-old stops himself and laughs. “I find myself using the word transform a lot lately,” he explains, “because that’s what Jacob does.” It’s not exactly a spoiler to say that Taylor’s character in November’s New Moon is going through some intense changes. As everyone who’s seen the movie’s trailer or read the books knows, Jacob Black is now a werewolf. And the changes that Taylor himself underwent in order to keep the part—as he says, “hitting the gym, hiring a personal trainer, eating the right foods, and eating a lot of them”—were equally evident. When that first trailer premiered at the MTV Movie Awards, the live (and apparently largely female) audience responded to a two-second shot of Taylor, shirtless, by screaming like they were on a roller coaster. Not that he’s about to let all that adulation go to his head. “I think the fans would love anybody who played Jacob,” he says mildly, when the reception is mentioned. “I’m just lucky to be the one who got the chance.”

Uh, yeah, I’d say he’s a lucky duck. The role of Jacob Black puts him right up there in direct competition for all the lurve that Twilight fans heap upon the vampire character Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattinson). Now fans have 2 boys to faun over — the skinny, pale, lanky dude or the muscly, tanned, beefy dude. Tough choice, eh? After the the jump, check out a whole slew of photos from Taylor‘s Teen Vogue photospread and read a bit more from his magazine cover story …

A contrite and power blue-clad Chris Brown paid a visit to the CNN studio here in SoCal last week to tape an interview for the Larry King Live show which is set to air this coming Wednesday September 2. With his crying mother, Joyce Hawkins, and his pitbull lawyer, Mark Garagos, by his side, Brown talks with Larry King about the heinous crime of assault that he has been punished for and his plans for a crime-free life ahead. Here are a couple photos from his upcoming appearance on the show along with some preview deets about the interview itself:

He looks so young. And he is. At 20, Chris Brown is not old enough to buy a beer without breaking the law. But he got himself into a world of legal trouble when he assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna in February. “We have to be like 10 yards away from each other,” Brown softly tells CNN’s Larry King in an exclusive interview to air Wednesday night – his first television interview since his arrest. Brown still loves Rihanna. He tells King he’s still in love with her. Even tougher for him is looking at the photo. You know the one—the image that might haunt, and define Brown forever. “When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.” He adds he does not remember performing the violent acts that have changed his life. Yet Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22. The deal keeps him out of jail. A second felony charge, making criminal threats, was dropped. He was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor. What does it mean? “It means he walks the straight and narrow for five years,” Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos tells King. “I’ve grown to love this kid like a son or a nephew. I have a high degree of confidence — I’ll say it now so that you can play it back if he ever does anything — but a high degree of confidence that he’s not going to do anything like this in the future.” Brown agrees, saying “everything comes with consequences. They want me to pick up trash remove graffiti.” He calls the sentence fair. “I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do.” Why did it happen? How did it happen? They are questions Brown and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, have been asking. “Chris has never, ever been a violent person, ever,” Hawkins tells King.

While Brown‘s mother insists that her son was “never, ever … a violent person” she goes on to explain to King (and, of course, the viewing audience) that Brown‘s father was the abusive one, clearly in an attempt to shift the blame of Brown‘s actions? After the jump, read on and judge for yourselves …

Madonna, who made her way to Israel this weekend ahead of a two night concert stint in Tel Aviv this coming week, made an attempted clandestine visit to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City last night with her much younger toyboy Jesus Luz in tow … here is a photo of Madonna & Child entering the Western Wall tunnel together and some deets of their visit:

American pop icon Madonna sparked a media frenzy when the Kabbalah follower paid a visit to the Western Wall, Judaism’s top pilgrimage site in the Old City of Jerusalem. Wearing high heels, blue jeans and a black jacket, the music diva was accompanied by several bodyguards and followed by dozens of photographers during her visit to the wall late on Sunday. The 51-year-old landed in Israel on Sunday aboard a private jet and is due to give two concerts in Tel Aviv as part of her Sticky and Sweet tour. During her visit, the singer will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, his office said, and opposition leader Tzipi Livni. A fervent practitioner of Kabbalah, Madonna is also due to attend a symposium on the study of Jewish mystic discipline along with fellow Kabbalists, US actress Demi Moore and her husband and fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, local Israeli media said. Madonna has previously visited Israel in 2004 and 2007. Raised a Roman Catholic, in 1997 Madonna came into contact with a Los Angeles-based centre that teaches an eclectic mix of Orthodox Jewish tradition and positive thinking aimed at spiritual well-being. In 2004 Madonna took the Hebrew name Esther but has not converted to Judaism. From the point of view of Orthodox Jews, her stuying the Kabbalah is sacrilege as they consider it should be reserved for married men over 40 who have poured over Talmudic texts for years.

You gotta hand it to Madge, once she sets her mind to something … she goes all in. Madonna has been a fervent disciple of Kabbalah since ’97-’98 and has been steadfast in her desire to take in and worship wholly and pretty much entirely. It would appear that Jesus is also fervent in his interest in Kabbalah but methinks that has more to do with Madonna‘s influence rather than a personal spiritual awakening of his own. Not for nothing but Madonna has been responsible for many a person’s spiritual awakening. I suspect that Maddy and Chuy will be partaking of all the things that Israel has to offer them while they are in town this week … I can’t wait to find out what they do next.

Terribly scary news to pass along today … The Walt Disney Company has announced that it is planning to acquire the Marvel Comics company — including its 5,000 characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Hulk, etc. — for $4 billion in cash and stock. Um, to this I say, WTF????????

The Walt Disney Co. says it is acquiring Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4 billion in cash and stock, bringing characters like Iron Man and Spider-Man into the Disney family. Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters. Disney said Monday that Marvel shareholders will receive $30 per share in cash plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share they own. It said the boards of Disney and Marvel have both approved the transaction, but it requires an antitrust review and the approval of Marvel shareholders.

This is terrible news! While I’m sure Disney plans on acquiring Marvel Comics for the sole purpose of keeping it the way it is, I can’t help but wonder if they will start tinkering with the way Marvel operates its comics and/or movie biz somewhere down the line if they successfully gain control. I had no idea that Marvel was in a position where they would want to sell … to anyone … let alone Disney! Says Ike Perlmutter, Marvel’s Chief Executive Officer:

“Disney is the perfect home for Marvel’s fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses.”

And here’s a quote from Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company:

“This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories.”

I can’t help but feel deep in the pit of my gut that this is a terrrrrrrribly horrible idea … one that will adversely affect Marvel comics fans down the line. I mean … right? Does this sound like a good idea to anyone out there??

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?
