NeNe Leaks Parties At TAO In Las Vegas

The 'Real Housewife' in Las Vegas
Friday, November 13th, 2009

NeNe Leakes, the first lady of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and her hubby Gregg Leakes were on hand for a night of mirth and merriment at TAO nightclub’s Worship Thursday inside the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Here are a few pics from NeNe’s fun night out in Sin City last night:


I understand that NeNe and Gregg supped at the Asian Bistro before she took on her hosting duties at TAO … the happy couple enjoyed a delish dinner of Seabass, XO Shrimp, Wok Sirloin and Sushi while gettin’ their drink on with an endless run of Raspberry Mojitos and Mai Tais … you know, cuz that’s how NeNe rolls, y’all. Once the Leakeses got to TAO, they partied up in the skybox and NeNe even slipped into the DJ booth to chill with Kid Capri … I understand she was really having a good time with glass after glass of Moët Nectar Rose Champagne. Werk it, girl. NeNe herself even announced on Twitter that she was having a great time last night:

What’s up tweeps? I’ve Been traveling & grinding! Vegas where yall @? I’m holding down Tao this Thursday nite! Come hang / Vegas babyyyy! Come party @ Tao 2 nite! It’s gone b crazy yall! / @ the casino n Vegas! These people b taking gambling serious chile! I need a drank! Tao gone b poppin 2 nite. Come hang?

Yes chile, it sounds like she had a great time last night. NeNe is my fave of all the housewives, I can only imagine how much fun it would be to party with her … I’m not a big Las Vegas fan but I wouldn’t mind partying at TAO with NeNe mothereffing Leakes the next time she’s in town. Holla.

Emanuel Ungaro Calls Lindsay Lohan Collaboration A ‘Disaster’

“I am furious but I can’t do anything about it.”
Friday, November 13th, 2009

In early October, Lindsay Lohan made her debut as “creative director” for the Emanuel Ungaro design house and was met with harsh criticism from the Fashion press … but the harshest critic yet, it turns out, is retired designer Emanuel Ungaro himself. In a new interview, Ungaro expresses how furious he is that his company put their design plans in Lindsay’s hands … calling the whole collabo a “disaster”. Ouch!


The namesake and founder of Emanuel Ungaro has added his voice to the chorus of critics attacking Lindsay Lohan’s debut for the famed fashion house at its spring/summer 2010 show. “[Her] collaboration was a disaster,” Ungaro told the U.K.’s Independent of Lohan’s first efforts as artistic adviser alongside designer Estrella Archs. “I am furious but I can’t do anything about it.” The designer, who retired in 2004, said he worried that his former line was “in the process of losing its soul.” Emanuel further lamented that the problems weren’t just at his own line. “This happens to a lot of designers, we were the creators and patrons, responsible for the creation and destiny of our houses. But when we gave up our houses, we gave up our soul,” he said.

Ugh … well, at least Ungaro can look on the bright side — he’s not alone in asserting that Lindsay’s Fashion debut was a disaster … unfortch for him, tho, he no longer has a say in what goes on at his namesake company. Poor thing.

More Photos Of The ‘Twilight’ Trinity In ‘Entertainment Weekly’

"If I didn’t like these two, it would be exhausting."
Friday, November 13th, 2009

Yesterday we got our first look at the cover of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly which features the Twilight TrinityKirsten Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner — and today we get to see a whole bunch of great EW photos as well as another portion of their “3-way interview”:


In the Twilight sequel New Moon, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are at each other’s throats over Kristen Stewart. Off screen, all three are loyal friends. In a candid interview with this week’s Entertainment Weekly, they share thoughts on rumors, fans, moviemaking – and hair.

EW: How are you all coping with living in a fishbowl?
Pattinson: It really depends on the mood. When I met you last year [before Twilight came out], I was doing interviews very sporadically and I never got recognized. Now it’s like anywhere I go there’s immediate recognition. So there’s more of a responsibility…
Stewart: I don’t mind working every day. It’s just, suddenly, I have this other role. And that’s really disappointing. All I’d like to do is go outside with a book and figure out what to do with the day. And if I can’t do that, then I’m just going to sit in my hotel room on my balcony and chain smoke. [Pauses] I’m going to stop smoking. I’m not such a good smoker, anyway. It’s not in my bones. I’m gonna drop it.
Pattinson: The three of us have been working for two years [straight]. It does feel like your day has a shape just as soon as you wake up. I just forget what it’s like when you’re free.

EW: Taylor, you’re the only one who almost lost a shot at the sequels. Do you have a different relationship with fame because you had to fight for your job?
Lautner: No, I kept my eye on the prize 100 percent of the time. I was motivated. I wasn’t even thinking about anything else.
Stewart: Thank God you got the job. I wouldn’t have wanted to deal with you if you didn’t. After all those months of working out!
Lautner: I just wanted to focus on what I could control, and I worked really hard.

EW: You mean in the gym? Because I see your abs everywhere these days.
Lautner: Yeah, the gym was a major part, but I really studied the books and the character, too. And it all turned out good.

EW: Kristen, it must be nice to watch the guys’ appearances get obsessed over for a change.
Stewart: Seriously, it’s a trip to sit back and look at the sexual objectification of these dudes. I’ve never been asked to do any of this stuff.

EW: You guys are lucky. You clearly all dig each other.
Lautner: The amount of time we have to spend with each other – if I didn’t like these two, it would be exhausting.

EW: Rob, you made Remember Me this summer, between sequels. Was that the set in New York, where you were knocked into a cab by hordes of fans?
Pattinson: That was completely made up. I was walking across the street, and there was one cab going about one mile an hour and it nudged my leg. The story ended up being how I got hit by a cab because of a mob of screaming fans, [but] it was 4 o’clock in the morning and there was one person there – a paparazzi….And then there was another time – apparently they said on the news that I had a drug overdose. The security guy saw it on TV, and I wasn’t in my room, and he was like, “Uh-oh!” It’s just so weird. I wake up and my room is too messy to order room service, and so I end up eating a pack of M&M’s for breakfast – and it takes me about five hours to find it. That’s my first five hours of the day. [Laughing] And then you see the news and think, “Who cares if he had a drug overdose? It would probably make him more interesting!”

EW: Kristen and Rob, why do you think people are so obsessed with the state of your offscreen relationship?
Pattinson: Good question. That’s a little thing I have to think about every day.
Stewart: Maybe it’s just my personality, but I’m never going to answer it. I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about “Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f—ing give your whole life away? Can I have your firstborn child?”

EW: You don’t think just saying, for example, “Listen, we dated for a few months, it was weird, we’re better off as friends” would end the speculation?
Pattinson: No way.
Stewart: People are deeply judgmental and I’m not strong enough. I would love to be like, “I don’t care what anybody thinks.” But I’m a very private person. And think about every hypothetical answer: “Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.” I’ve thought about this a lot. There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like, “Fuck off.” I would answer the exact same way.”

Yeah, it’s a good thing these three get along … they’d prolly murder one another if they didn’t and still had to be on top of one another, figuratively speaking, all the time. After the jump, check out a few more pics of these three in the pages of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly

Pier For The Course

The TV Guide
Friday, November 13th, 2009

Yesterday was such an amazing day … I can’t even fully express … but I’m gonna do my best to share the fun with all y’all. David and I spent much of the day/night on the Santa Monica Pier enjoying the cloudy and cool weather. We got to the pier early enough so that I could run around taking Polaroid photos but the main attraction was our double date with Darion and Cameron to see the new Cirque du Soleil show KOOZÅ:


The folks over at Cirque du Soleil have always been so fantastic to David and me and last night was no exception. We were kindly invited to see their new show, KOOZÅ, which is performing daily at the Santa Monica Pier thru December 20. If you are at all familiar with Cirque shows, you know they are all fantastic … if you are not familiar, you need to see a show IMMEDIATELY … and KOOZÅ would be a great first show to see. The show has a circus feel to it but for the most part it’s all about acrobatics … I’m not even lying, we all spent much of our time Ooohing and Ahhhing out loud thru out the show. It just kept getting better and better. I’ve seen a few Cirque shows and I can happily declare that KOOZÅ is among my all-time faves. After the jump, check out a short video trailer for KOOZÅ to get a taste of what the show’s all about and see a whole bunch of cool photos that I snapped on the pier yesterday afternoon …
