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.

After the jump, if you are so inclined, you can watch video from last night’s Blink-182 concert and hear the tribute to AM that was played by the band in full …

The Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV, where Adam DJ AM Goldstein was the resident DJ before his untimely death yesterday, paid an impromptu tribute to their late DJ last night by only lighting up the A and the M in the signs on their main tower:

I found the photo on Twitter last night and thought it was a nice, tasteful way for the Palms to pay tribute to AM. Altho the official cause of death has not been determined (pending toxicology results), there is no question that his life ended much too soon.

Victoria Beckham payed a little visit to the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, CA this week, where The Ellen DeGeneres Show is taped, and was greeted by a huge promo photo of the latest Emporio Armani Underwear ad featuring her husband David Beckham and … Ellen DeGeneres???

Truth be told … of all the Armani Underwear ads where Becks has to share the spotlight, I think this is my fave. I mean … right?

So … last night David and I went on a movie date to see Inglourious Basterds. I have to preface this whole post by clearly stating for the record that I hate Nazi movies. While I understand that WWII and all the horrible things associated with it is an important part of world history, I cannot express how much I loathe the mere sight of anything Nazi -related. While I liked Inglourious Basterds, I must confess that I was far too stressed out for the entire duration of the film to “enjoy” it … inasmuch as one can “enjoy” a film about Nazis:

While it is true that the main focus is on the Basterds, American Jews who went into Europe for the sole purpose to find, kill and scalp Nazis, I can’t say that I reveled that much in their success. Revenge and death is just not appealing to me. I know that the audience is supposed to cheer when the tops of Nazi heads are sliced off with huge bowie knives or when their heads are bashed in with baseball bats or when they are riddled with bullets or when they are burned alive but … I just can’t cheer. As far as Quentin Tarantino films go, this is one of his good ones. His trademark style is all over this film, including his adept use of music. I guess I don’t really understand the point of a fictionalized story like this. BE WARNED A HUGE SPOILER POINT IN THE FILM IS COMING SO DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU WISH TO REMAIN UNSPOILED … in this film, the monster Adolph Hitler is brutally killed by the Basterds before he and his closest Nazi underlings are burned and blown up. The fact that his never happened in history seems … weird. If people get comfort from seeing this, then I’m all for it (I understand the term for this kind of film is Kosher Porn). The man was a disgusting waste of flesh but I guess the fact that his death didn’t happen like it was portrayed in the film is what bothered me more. Again, murderous revenge is rarely appealing to me but … I think I would’ve felt much better about what I saw on screen if that’s actually the way that piece of shit met his end. Again, I did like the film … but the stress of all that grotesque inhumanity really took its toll on me.

Not sure what’s on deck for today … David and I have a lot of food shopping to do so we’ll prolly take care of that today. Other than that, it looks like it may be a lazy Saturday afternoon for us.

Rob Zombie‘s remake or reimagining, if you will, of the horror classic Halloween II opens in theaters this weekend … timed perfectly with the news that Zombie has signed on to remake/reimagine the even older horror classic 1958 film The Blob (click HERE to watch the original movie trailer for the original film). Considering that I have yet to see what he did with Halloween II (tho, I deffo hope to find out this weekend) and only marginally liked what he did with Halloween, I’ll reserve judgment … for now. Zombie claims that he plans to revamp the Blob monster for his film … I have to admit, I’m curious to see what he comes up with:

After reviving the “Halloween” franchise, Rob Zombie will next reinvent “The Blob.” Zombie will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic that launched the career of Steve McQueen. Production will begin next spring. Zombie’s deal to make “The Blob” his next film comes as Dimension opens “Halloween II,” the Zombie-directed sequel to his 2007 hit “Halloween.” In the original “Blob,” an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially. While Zombie was a fan of the original, he’s formulated a decidedly different take that he would not reveal. “My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing — that’s the first thing I want to change,” Zombie said. “That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now” … Saperstein, the former Dimension Films president who developed a relationship with Zombie while they worked on “Halloween,” said that funding is in place to make an R-rated film that will cost around $30 million. The budget model is similar to that of recent fright fare like “Cloverfield” and “District 9,” and they expect to firm a distribution deal before production begins. Genre Co. is in pre-production on the independently financed, Darren Bousman-directed remake “Mother’s Day.” “I’d been looking to break out of the horror genre, and this really is a science fiction movie about a thing from outer space,” Zombie said. “I intend to make it scary, and the great thing is I have the freedom once again to take it in any crazy direction I want to.” Zombie has begun writing. He’ll follow the release of “Halloween II” with a new album and tour this fall and get the script done at that time.

Blah. I dunno. While I do agree that a straight reinterpretation of the original film would be comical in this day and age (I seem to recall the 1988 remake of The Blob was ill-received at the box office), I’m not sure I’m too confident that any sort of Blob monster will be scary. My guess is that Zombie will go for gore more than horror … which doesn’t sound all that appealing to me. Still … I’m intrigued. I deffo want to see Halloween II so that I can have a better opinion of Rob Zombie‘s remaking skills.

Two weekends ago we saw the cutest pics of little Levi Alves McConaughey enjoying a day at the beach with his beloved pet pooch and his grandmother Alves in tow. Today we get to see a few pics of Levi back at the beach but this time he brought his daddy Matthew McConaughey along with him:

As we all know, Matthew is great lover of the beach and pretty much all things nature-related. It seems evident that he is trying to instill that same love in his first born son. It makes sense that Levi seems to be growing very fond of beach life so I imagine there will be many happy years ahead of father and son bonding at the beach together. Now that Matthew and his babymama ladyfriend Camila Alves are expecting their second child, little Levi will have at least one other playmate to have at the beach. Too cute … I love Matthew‘s happy and growing little family :)
