Heidi Klum Has NOT Given Birth Just Yet

Bump Watch
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Contrary to Internet rumor, Heidi Klum has NOT yet checked herself into the hospital to give birth to her baby … yet. This afternoon rumors began to fly that Heidi checked into the hospital and gave birth to her baby after photos of her children going to karate class without her came to light. According to Heidi’s publicist, she is not ready to give birth just yet and is at home “resting”:


On Wednesday afternoon, the Internet was buzzing that Heidi Klum was in the hospital about to give birth to her baby girl. But her rep tells us, “She’s at home resting.” Klum, 36, is due any day.

Oh yeah, she’s gonna blow soon … my guess is that she’ll pop in a week or two. I must admit, I totally believed that she checked into the hospital today but, it turns out, not so. Soon, tho … Heidi will drop her load very soon.

Filming Continues On The NYC Set Of ‘Wall Street 2’

Taking stock
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Last month we saw the first photos from the NYC set of the film Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps which is a sequel to the classic film Wall Street released in 1987. Back then, it was Charlie Sheen in the starring role … this time, it’s Shia LaBeouf. Here are photos of Shia and his on-screen mentor Michael Douglas (who reprises his original role of Gordon Gekko:


It looks to me like the guys are taking a bit of a lunch break in between shooting scenes … or they could be filming the fraternal hot dog eating scene for the film. Unlike a remake, Wall Street 2 is able to capitalize on the popularity of the first film and still tell an entirely new story. Sure, it still looks like Hollywood has run out of new ideas but at least this movie builds on an idea rather than completely retells it. To be honest, I can’t remember if I saw the original Wall Street or not … but I do recall that Charlie Sheen was the man back in the day. I guess that means that Shia LaBeouf is the new Charlie Sheen.

‘The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus’ Releases A Movie Trailer

Step right up
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Yesterday we saw a few photos from the UK premiere of the new film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and today we get our first look at the film’s video trailer. As you may already know, Parnassus was the late Heath Ledger’s last film (it was the project he was working on when he passed away in early ‘08) and it is finally ready for release. Here are a few caps from the first official movie trailer for the film:


Because Heath passed away before the film was completed, the movie was tweaked a bit to fill in the gaps … Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law appear in the film as Heath’s character in the scenes he had yet to complete. It’s a pretty ingenius way to salvage the film. After the jump, check out the video trailer in full to see what Doctor Parnassus is all about …

Tina Fey Does ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Magazine

"When I am not shooting, my hair looks like a Halloween wig."
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

TV’s favorite ultra-chic bespeckled “geek” Tina Fey is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine … lookin’ very ultra-chic and far from geeky. In her coverstory interview, Fey talks about things as varied as botox, motherhood and Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw. Here is Tina’s fabulous coverphoto and some quotes from her coverstory interview:


On Botox: “You can point any kind of laser at my face, but I don’t think Botox is for me. I think it is bad,” she says. People with Botox “look like their faces are full of candles — a shiny, shiny face. Festive. A holiday candle.”

On her trademark specs: “I don’t wear them very much in real life because I need them to see only far away,” she says. “And I don’t wear them when I am dressed up, because then I would look like Tootsie.”

On why her 30 Rock alter-ego Liz Lemon would be BFF with Sex & the City’s Carrie Bradshaw: “Liz has little to no style and little to no sex drive,” she says. “Carrie would be very encouraging of Lemon and help her have more confidence.”

On her day-to-day schedule: “Work, come home, play, kid bounce, work again, go to bed.” Fey goes on to say she often writes 30 Rock on the way to the studio and is so overwhelmed that “sometimes I’ll be telling my husband [composer Jeff Richmond], ‘I think I’m cracking up.’”

On her vanities: “I have the camera frame me from the waist up,” she jokes. Really? “Sometimes. If there is a shot that is bad, I can take it out. That is why L.A. is so bad, because they can take your picture from any side. That is why people in L.A. maintain 360 degree fitness. I don’t have that kind of time.”

On her hair: “When I am not shooting, my hair looks like a Halloween wig.” She lapses into an impersonation of a hair stylist: “‘I hate to tell you this, but it’s because you are shooting all the time. You know those old actresses that are bald?’ And I shoot 200 days a year.”

Dude, Tina Fey is the coolest woman EVER!! I’m so happy that her show 30 Rock is doing so well critically because it deffo doesn’t have the ratings to ensure its survival. I’ve always been an Tina Fey fan but I think the whole world fell in love with her when she stepped into the persona of Sarah Palin during the ‘08 presidential campaign. She really strikes me as such a down-to-Earth person … I bet she’s very easy to like in real life, too. And hello … she is a beautiful woman! After the jump, see just how beautiful she is in the other photos from her Harper’s Bazaar photospread …

The ‘Breakfast’ Buddies

The TV Guide
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Last night The Turtle Party: Book Club got together for our latest meeting to discuss our progress on our current book Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. As you may recall, we determined that Breakfast of Champions would be our book of the month and last night was our time to check in and discuss the book thus far:


I was not able to read up to the agreed location in the book … we were supposed to be up to Chapter 15 and I only got to Chapter 5. I’ve been reading so many other things at the same time, I ran out of time. Thus far, I haven’t really gotten sucked in by the book just yet but everyone assures me that the book is good.

Before our book club meeting last night, David and I went out to run a few errands … and noticed that it is getting really cold here in LA at night. As soon as the sun started to go down at 6pm, the temp. dropped thru the floor. I’m really trying NOT to think about how cold it’s gonna be in NYC this weekend ;)

Taylor Lautner Does ‘L’Uomo Vogue’

Hot dog
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Taylor Lautner, star of The Twilight Saga film franchise and seemingly everyone’s favorite werewolf, is featured in the new issue of L’Uomo Vogue magazine. Taylor is featured in a couple of photos in the mag … a wet photo and a pumping iron photo. Because the mag is published in Italian, I have no idea what the accompanying article says … but with photos like this, who care?


I’m not sure what inspired the photographer to insist that Taylor first get sopping wet, then get on his back and then throw his legs into the air … but it works, I think. Young master Lautner is really riding the wave of fame that his beefcakey persona in the upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon has afforded him … and I say, good for him! I know we got some vocal members of Team Jacob in the hiz … what do y’all think of this new spread?
