While it remains to be seen if all filming of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has been completed or not it would appear that production on the film in Vancouver, BC has already wrapped. The cast and crew enjoyed a wrap party for Eclipse in Vancouver last weekend … here is what the invitation looked like:

As far as invites go, this one is kinda fug but … a wrap party is a wrap party, I suppose. Again, while production may have wrapped in Vancouver, that doesn’t mean that more filming may take place elsewhere in the world. But, even if there is more work to be done on the film, it’s clear that it is very near completion … at least on the filming end. It’s pretty crazy how quickly these films get made … you don’t suppose the quality will suffer because of all of this haste, do you?

Here are a few photos of Matthew McConaughey doing a bit of handy work around his home in Malibu, CA (in various states of undress) while his grandmother/nanny looks after his son, Levi Alves. As you may recall, we recently saw photos of Granny Alves yanking little Levi up by his right arm while he was playing at the beach … I’m not trying to overworry here but, it really looks like he is missing his right arm entirely in these photos:

I mean, I know that Levi didn’t have his arm pulled off by his overzealous grandmother but it is humorous how you cannot see his arm at all in these photos. I really do hope the little guy wasn’t injured by granny’s need to manhandle the little dude. As for Matthew, it’s been so long since we’ve seen him out in public sans shirt that I don’t even know what to say. The only thing that would make these pictures even awesomer would be a cameo by McConanaughey’s new pet bird. These people need a reality show, don’t you think?

While we wait to hear about any movement on an official Friends reunion, Entertainment Weekly brings us the great news that Lisa Kudrow has officially signed on to do a guest stint on Courteney Cox-Arquette’s new hit sitcom Cougar Town!

It’s not an actual Friends reunion, but I’ll take it: Lisa Kudrow has signed on to guest star opposite ex-Friend Courteney Cox on Cougar Town, an ABC spokesperson confirms. “She’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though [she's] mean to me,” Cox told tvguidemagazine.com. The Cox-Kudrow reunion episode will shoot next month and air in early 2010.

And this is how Cox described Kudow’s character to TV Guide:

“If it all works out, she’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though the doctor is mean to me.” Is it a Botox thing? The show’s writers are not exactly sure yet, says Cox, who’s also producing the show, “but whatever it is, she’s the best in town at what she does and I become addicted.”

It turns out that both Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston have been considered as future guest stars … this is what Courteney had to say about the prospect of having other former Friends castmates appear on the show:

“I did ask Matthew [Perry] if he’d play my boyfriend on the show,” she says, “but he thought it was a little too much after Chandler and Monica.” Then there’s Jennifer Aniston, whom Cox has remained closest with among the Friends stars. “I’d love for her to be on the show, too,” Cox says. “Obviously we can’t cast her so close to Lisa’s appearance but if there’s a great part for her, I’d send it right away. She’s younger than me so she can’t play my contemporary even though she did on Friends, but I think we can find something great for her to play.”

This is all very exciting stuff to mebbe look forward to … but for now, I’m perfectly content with having Phoebe and Monica together again … er, Lisa and Courteney, that is ;) The Friends reunion may never actually take place but in the meantime, we have Cougar Town to enjoy!

Brace yourselves, Taylor Lautner fans. According to the man himself, if he had his way … he wouldn’t be shirtless in movies anymore! This upsetting sentiment comes from a new interview with the lad where he bemoans the fact that his nekkid physique overshadows his, ahem, acting ability and, therefore, he would prefer to remain clothed in future films. Um … yeah:

Garnering more attention from the media ever since he bulked up in order to reprise his role as Jacob Black in “Twilight” sequel “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon”, Taylor Lautner has vowed to never appear shirtless in future film projects. He is quoted by Showbiz Spy as saying that he is afraid his muscular body will draw people’s attention away from his acting skill, which is much more important than his physical appearance. “I worked hard to get in shape for this role,” Lautner explains. “My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don’t want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.” Previously, Taylor Lautner told reporters at Teen Vogue’s 7th Annual Young Hollywood party in L.A. that he actually feels uncomfortable with his muscular body. “It’s so uncomfortable knowing that so many people are seeing pictures of me shirtless,” so he said. “It’s weird. It’s kind of embarrassing.”

Aww … poor little wolf. To be honest, I can appreciate that Lautner prolly feels embarrassed by all the attention his shirtlessness has brought him but, in all honesty, there would be zero attention (and, hence, zero $$$) if it weren’t for all the shirtlessness. Robert Pattinson was the only hunk getting any of the love from Twilight fans … until Taylor decided to fight messy hair with chiseled abs … now he’s getting a whole lotta attention all on his own. It comes with the territory, I’m afraid. Taylor should be careful not to bite the hand that feeds him … if he decides to make a career based solely on his acting abilities he might have to go back to making movies like THIS.

Much of my evening was spent hunting for props to go along with my AWESOME Hallowe’en costume. I don’t want to say, just yet, what I’m gonna be for Hallowe’en this year but I will reveal that I had to go to Toys R Us, Office Max, CVS Pharmacy and The Sports Authority to procure the items needed to go along with my costume :) I have but ONE last item to get … and it better arrive by mail in time for Hallowe’en night! I’ll be making the big reveal on Twitter Saturday … I think many of y’all will love it ;)
