Kristen Stewart Does ‘Interview’ Magazine

"There’s an idea about who I am that’s eternally projected onto me"
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Kristen Stewart is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Interview magazine … K. Stew’s photospread and coverstory interview was just posted online today so it can be read by all who are interested. Here is Kristen’s coverphoto and some excerpts from her interview with Interview:


On everyone talking about her personal life:
“There’s nothing you can do about it, I don’t talk to anybody about my personal life and maybe that perpetuates it too. But it’s really important to own what you want to own and keep it to yourself.”

On feeling dull due to Twilight:
“The sad thing is that I feel so boring, because Twilight is literally how every conversation I have these days begins.”

On just getting her high school degree:
“I went to public school up until junior high. I know it’s a little late and I’m a little old, but I just finished high school—with honors. The other day I was doing a graduation scene on Eclipse, and I had just finished high school myself the week before, so I told the crew, “Hey, just so you know, I’m actually graduating right now, and I’m not going to have another ceremony.” So I took a mock picture with an extra. I literally asked the actor to come back and shake my hand and hand me the diploma while I was dressed in a cap and gown.”

On getting lots of attention:
“Yeah, it’s weird. There’s an idea about who I am that’s eternally projected onto me, and then I almost feel like I have to fulfill that role. Even when things come out of my mouth, I want to be sure I’m saying exactly what I mean. All I’m thinking of is the fact that everything that I say is going to be criticized — not criticized, just evaluated and analyzed. And it’s always something that matters so much to me that doesn’t come out right. But in terms of how my life has changed, I never really went out a whole lot before. I’m sort of an in-my-head kind of person. I wish I could take more walks . .”

On spending lots of time in her hotel:
“That said, the only way for me not to have somebody know where I went the night before is if I didn’t go out at all. So that’s what I’m trading. It depends what mood I’m in. Some nights, I think, “You know what? I don’t care. I’m just going to do what I want to do.” Then the next day I think, “Ugh. Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get the attention.” But it’s like, no, I actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person.”

No lie, she looks fantastic. I like the mixture of high glam and her personal style … she’s still a bit tomboyish but in a really dressy way. After the jump, check out a few of the photos from her Interview photospread …

Ed Westwick Introduces Jessica Szohr To His Parents

Jolly good
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Gossip Girl co-stars and real life lovebirds Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr spent part of their afternoon yesterday in the company of Ed’s parents … presumably, the first time that Jessica got to meet the “in-laws”. Things must be gettin’ real serious if Ed is ready for Jessica to meet his folks:


I hope that Jessica was a good little pet and offered to take the Westwicks out for a nice dinner of Shepherd’s Pie or out for a pint of Guinness at their local pub … cuz if she tried to get them to eat McDonald’s and Starbucks, I don’t think that’s gonna put her in their good graces.

3 Jackson Brothers Try To Hang On To Their Fame

Behold: 'The Jackson Dynasty'
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Three of the Jackson brothers, Jackie, Marlon and Tito, were spotted filming scenes for their new reality TV series The Jackson Dynasty (which was previously titled The Jackson Family) in Calabasas, CA yesterday … and they seemed THRILLED that they managed to gain the attention of the paparazzi:


I just can’t help but feel that Jackson reality TV show is being built on the death of Michael Jackson. Even tho the show was in production way before his death, I am almost positive that they are going to so everything they can to use MJ’s death to their advantage. I suppose we can’t fault them for trying to hold on to what little fame they have left but it just seems so … gross, especially in light of their younger (and much more famous) brother’s death. Blech.

Kylie Minogue WOWs The Crowd In Oakland, CA

The TV Guide
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

As I mentioned earlier today, Kylie Minogue kicked off her first ever North American Tour here in Oakland, CA last night in a lavish show that pretty much blew everyone in attendance away. As soon as I heard that Kylie would be launching a US tour, I knew I had to be at her opening night performance.


It worked out very well that David’s brother Aram lives here in San Francisco so we were able to kill two birds with one stone. There are already so many photos, videos, etc. flying around about Kylie’s tour that I am going to try to keep the spoilers at a minimum. I managed to snap TONS of great photos last night. If you are so inclined, you can see some of my photos, check out the merch booth that will be available at the shows and watch a short video of Kylie’s entrance on stage last night — after the jump …

David Beckham Launches His ‘Adidas Originals By Originals’ Sportswear Line

Sporty Spice-hubby
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Last April we learned that David Beckham, with the help of designer James Bond, would be “designing” a line of sportswear for the Adidas Originals by Orginals collection … last night was the official launch party for the line. Here are photos of Becks and wifey Victoria Beckham making their arrival on the red carpet for the launch event at the Adidas store on Melrose Ave. in West Hollywood, CA last night:


You gotta love that VB couldn’t be bothered with dressing down for the sporty event even tho her hubby was promoting his new line of sportswear. The least Posh could’ve done was to show up on the carpet in a pair of baggy sweats and an oversized hoodie. What a beyotch! In any event, you may recall that it is the intention of this new sportswear line designed by Becks and Bond to “update classic American sportswear with fashionable silhouettes and details” by utilizing materials such as “leather, cashmere and silk, while the footwear builds on iconic Adidas styles.” I’m still not convinced that this collaboration will work (cashmere track pants? leather hoodies?) but you can’t blame Adidas for wanting to get into bed … professionally, as it were … with David Beckham on this endeavor. Yeah, any notion of getting into bed with Becks under any circumstances sounds like a great idea to me. It remains to be seen what effect this new line of sportswear will have on the world of fashion but … there’s gotta be someone out there interested in this stuff. Are you?

‘The A-Team’ Assembled

Action!
Thursday, October 1st, 2009

First we saw the van … then we saw the Face … and now we get to see the entire new version of The A-Team assembled and hard at work in Vancouver, BC filming scenes for the new movie based on the classic 80’s TV series of the same name. Here is a group shot of The A-Team (Lt. Templeton Faceman Peck, Col. John Hannibal Smith, Capt. Howling Mad Murdock and Sgt. Bosco B.A. Baracus) as portrayed by actors Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Sharlto Copley and Quinton Rampage Jackson:


I will say this about this new remake, the folks in charge did an excellent job with casting. Bradley Cooper is the perfect Faceman and Sharlto Copley (from District 9) is the perfect rising star to plug into an action/adventure movie of this size. I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve seen thus far … so far, so good. After the jump, check out individual photos of each member of the new A-Team elsewhere on the set …
