Celebrity make-up artist Chris Lanston is featuring a photo on his official website of former *NSync boybander Lance Bass in an interesting photograph that showcases him as a sexy-lookin’ fighter. In the pic, a stern Bass is massaging his hand as his sparring partner is crumpled up against the ropes in the far corner … it’s kinda hawt, y’all:

I understand the photographer is Braden Summers but it’s unclear what the photo was shot for … nonetheless, it’s a photo deffo worth seeing up close. After the jump, check out a larger size photo of just Lance and his shirtless seriousness …

Kylie Minogue, who is currently touring North America for the first time ever on her For You, For Me Tour, bid adieu to SoCal yesterday afternoon as she made her arrival at LAX Airport bound for Chicago, IL. As you may recall, Kylie stuck around in LA for an extra day & night after she performed a triumphant show at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night but finally had to leave our sunny shores for her next concert stop in the Midwest. Here are a couple photos of Kylie making her arrival at the airport yesterday and a couple of photos she posted to her official Twitter profile of her chillin’ in an airport lounge at LAX:

Because I’m kinda familiar with airport lounges all over the place, it looks to me like Kylie and her crew were chillin’ in the Delta/Northwest lounge at LAX yesterday afternoon. It was clear that Kylie really wanted to show off her crazy hot Yves Saint Laurent shoes to her followers on Twitter ;) They’re hawt, I don’t blame her. By now she must be re-settled in Chicago preparing for her show there tonight … those lucky bastards. If you are in Chicago, be on the look out for Ms. Minogue … and if you are going to her show tonight, get ready cuz she’s gonna rock your world.

The Broadway production of Hamlet, which stars Jude Law and first ran in London’s West End earlier this year and which I got to see in previews last month, officially opened on the Great White Way last night. While there are a couple of very favorable reviews of the show HERE and HERE, there are other reviews that are decidedly … less favorable. Here is a sampling of what some of the theater critics are saying about the show and Jude Law in particular:

To be, or not to be … a hit on Broadway? That is the question Wednesday morning as the reviews come in for Jude Law’s turn as Hamlet in the much-anticipated Broadway turn for the production, which originated in London to acclaim and opened at New York’s Broadhurst Theatre Tuesday night. Reaction is decidedly mixed. “If Hamlet talks about his mind, you can bet that Mr. Law will point to his forehead; when he mentions the heavens, his arm shoots straight up; and when the guy says his gorge rises, rest assured that he clutches at his stomach. If every actor were like Mr. Law, signed performances for the hard of hearing would be unnecessary,” snipes Ben Brantley of The New York Times. “If anything, Law starts out too overwrought, moaning and gnawing through the great soliloquies as if they were causing him intestinal distress,” Time Out New York’s David Cote notes. Others put in much kinder terms. “His Hamlet is no brooding philosopher/prince; he’s an angry young man, a bundle of nerves forever threatening to explode,” raves USA Today’s Elysa Gardner , who considers Law’s soliloquies “both muscular and exquisitely lyrical.” The traditionally acerbic John Simon of Bloomberg News, however, found nothing poetic about Law’s “flashy, frequently jocular and unsubtle” performance in a play “aimed at neophyte audiences lured to the play not only by the star but with the added promise of a thriller liberally sprinkled with yocks.” Time Out New York, which generally lauded Law, was one of many that had a bone to pick with the supporting cast, finding Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s Ophelia ho-hum, and Geraldine James and Ian Drysdale’s Gertrude and Claudius an example of actors taking the phrase “the banality of evil” too literally. Then thank God Jude’s pretty, all critics agreed. Noted The New York Times: “Mr. Law’s undeniable charisma and gender-crossing sex appeal may captivate Broadway theatergoers who wouldn’t normally attend productions of Shakespeare.”

LOL! As much as I loved the show myself, I have to agree with the NY Times critic … I had forgotten that, indeed, Jude mimics physically the words that come out of his mouth … I mean, I’m sure he’s going for emphasis but he does do it for most of the show. In all honesty, I do feel that many of the reviewers who have negative things to say might be speaking from a place where they would be hard pressed to bestow positivity no matter how good an actor like Jude Law is. While I agree that there is some merit to some of the negative reviews, I don’t feel that all of the criticism is very fair. After the jump, check out a few photos of Jude taking his curtain call bows last night at the completion of his official Broadway debut performance and see which celebs made their way to the Broadhurst Theater for opening night …
