Last month we got to see the first movie trailer for Michael Jackson’s This Is It and today we get to see a newer trailer which features more of MJ singing his hit single Human Nature:

As you are all prolly well aware, Michael Jackson’s This Is It will open in theaters on Wednesday October 28 and will only show for 2 weeks. Tickets are already on sale in pretty much every city so if you don’t already have your tickets, you might want to get on it. I understand many of the showings are already sold out. My friends and I will be seeing This Is It on Tuesday October 27 at an early screening at the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood, CA and we are all very excited. Seeing this new trailer heightens that excitement for me.

Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester, who provided guest vocals on the Cobra Starship single Good Girls Go Bad, released her first single as solo artist earlier today … which we get to listen to here on the blog right now. The track, Somebody To Love, features sexy crooner Robin Thicke on vocals and, in all honest, is not a bad song at all. Here is the cover artwork for Leighton’s debut single and the lyrics to the song:

Somebody To Love (Featuring Robin Thicke)

Paris France to Michigan
London town and through Berlin
I can’t believe this place I’m in
Everywhere and back again
Porcelain and China Dolls
Give me one and I’ve seen them all
Got my back against the wall
Wonder where I’ll be tomorrow?

But wait, now how long could this take?
It’s hard to find a man,
When you’re gone before he wakes.
They say it’s hard to achieve
But can’t a girl believe?

CHORUS:
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love

ROBIN THICKE:
Baby girl, there you at
Looking at me like a putty cat
Wondering where that thing is at
Wondering where your ring is at
Nobody ever did it quite like this
Nobody ever did it quite like you
Do your hair, I bought you shoes
We can hit the town like superstars do
You lookin’ for love? Then let me show you love
Give me the key to your heart
I can give you what you want
When you’re waiting for love
And you’re lookin’ for someone
I’mma turn this gossip girl into a woman

CHORUS:
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there (I know you’re out there)
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love

Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love

Je t’adore, Je t’adore (I love you, I love you)
Make a move, do the thing
Turn around, strike a pose
Je t’adore, Je t’adore (I love you, I love you)
Make a move, do the thing
Turn around, strike a pose
Ooh, I like it
Ooh, I need it
Ooh, I want it
Hey Hey

I know it’s hard to achieve
But can’t a girl believe?

CHORUS:
Is there somebody (Is there somebody?)
who still believes in love? (Who still believes?)
I know you’re out there (I know you’re out there)
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love

Is there somebody who still believes in love? (who still believes)
I know you’re out there (who still believes)
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love

(You say hello, I say goodbye) x2
Somebody to love

I really like this song … it’s really sexy. Considering how much I like Good Girls Go Bad, I might end up liking Leighton’s whole album. HMMM. After the jump, listen to the song in full …

Victoria Beckham, in the spirit of trying to mingle with the common folk, deigned to attend a school fair with her children this week and decided to show up wearing a very interesting outfit. Clearly VB was intending NOT to look like any of the other mother’s in attendance because she showed up wearing leather from head to toe. Adding insult to fashion injury, she also rocked a pair of THE most outrageous shoulder pads EVER:

With every day another photo opportunity, fashionista Victoria Beckham is never underdressed. But wearing an £11,500 all-leather outfit to her son’s school fair was a bit much, even for Victoria. With the other parents in T-shirts and shorts, she stood out in a £7,000 Balmain jacket, £1,000 studded leather trousers from DSquared, towering £500 Yves Saint Laurent heels and a £3,000 gold Rolex watch. Though bang on trend, her outfit was perhaps a little over the top. Let’s hope her three sons don’t mind standing out from their peers. Their 35-year-old mother never misses an opportunity to prove her fashion credentials … Bold shoulders have featured on catwalks across Europe this year and have been championed by celebrities such as the singer Rihanna. Fashion critics have been praising the garment which has the effect of making people look thinner because of the jutting shoulders and tiny waist. After decades at the back of the wardrobe, they are the height of fashion again. So naturally, Victoria Beckham is wearing them at every opportunity.

True, Vicki B. is right on fashion trend with these ridiculous shoulder pads … but I know I would DIE if my mother showed up at my school looking like this. Any one of her trademark dVb dresses would’ve been perfect for a school event like this … why she decided to dress like Adam Lambert, I’ll never know. Ah well … she’s just being Posh, I suppose.

Neil Patrick Harris, who proved he is quite a singer as both Dr. Horrible and as Tony Awards host, is guest starring as an animated villain called the Music Meister who takes on Batman in the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold (which airs on Cartoon Network) in an upcoming episode. Here are a few screencaps from a music video for the song Drives Us Bats which features NPH on vocals:

No, it’s not a clip from Dr. Horrible 2. Nor is it a sneak peek at How I Met Your Mother’s music-filled 100th episode. Rather, it’s an exclusive first look at Neil Patrick Harris’ show-stopping turn as the evil Music Meister in the Oct. 23 episode of Cartoon Network’s Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Warning: The following clip could drive you batty (but in a good way)!

OMG … I love this!! While the song isn’t terribly good, I love that NPH is voicing a Batman villain who sings! In fact, this entire episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold will be a musical ep! After the jump, check out the song Drives Us Bats — and as a bonus, watch the entire episode titled Mayhem of The Music Meister …

Last night I was lucky enough to attend my 4th and final performance of Kylie Minogue’s first ever North American Tour For You, For Me. My good friend Tony and I made our way to the Hammerstein Ballroom last night and managed to get all the way to the front gate right in front of the stage. It was the closest I’ve ever been to Kylie Minogue and it was a THRILL beyond words:

After the jump, you can check out a few of the AMAZING photos I snapped last night … I was all up in her grill so I got a lot of really fantastic photos. Tony managed to get video of Kylie busting out the Cabbage Patch dance move on stage and you can also watch that video behind the cut …

Penn Badgely and his co-stars Amber Heard and Dylan Walsh, were joined by much of the Gossip Girl cast at the NYC premiere of their new film The Stepfather which took place at the SVA Theater here in NYC, NY last night. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals:

I believe this is Penn’s first starring movie role so we will soon know if he’s got the chops to carry a film almost all by himself. I don’t know much about Amber Heard’s work but I’m a big fan of Dylan Walsh (who plays Dr. Sean McNamara on Nip/Tuck) and I have no doubt he’ll play a great bad guy in this film. Penn’s costars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick have already featured in their own big screen flicks (The Covenant and S. Darko respectively) so now it’s Penn’s time to shine. I hope he doesn’t disappoint … David and I have high hopes that this film will be a fun time at the movies. The Stepfather opens on Friday … I guess we’ll know soon enough if Penn’s got what it takes to thrill an audience.
