It was the first time I was able to see Metric live and they were fantastic! Emily sounded great and that girl can work a damn tambourine! Josh and I had a fantastic time:

This past Tuesday we learned that injured David Beckham returned home to SoCal so that he can recuperate with his family here in LA … right at the exact same time that wifey Victoria Beckham flew AWAY from SoCal to tend to biz overseas. Becks has been hobbling around town in her absence but I am happy to report that Vicki B. has FINALLY returned home to tend to her injured hubby:

Well … OK … so mebbe it’s more likely that VB will oversee the many handlers that have, undoubtedly, been employed to care for Becks as he recuperates from his Achilles tendon surgery … cuz we know that VB ain’t gonna be offering any kind of help to Becks, unless he asks for a sponge bath or something like that. Sigh … and you wonder why I like to give the woman grief! OY!! In any event, it’s nice that VB is back home with her family again … now mebbe Becks will actually get around to gettin’ better now that his family is complete again.

Dennis Hopper, who has been battling a terminal case of prostate cancer (with reports erroneously stating that he is “near death”), appeared in person yesterday to be honored with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The 73 year old Hopper, who was surrounded by family, friends and colleagues, was awarded the 2, 403rd star on the Walk of Fame … and he looked fantastic at his awards ceremony:

Dennis Hopper took what may be his final bow Friday as his star was dedicated on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. His lawyer and doctor told the judge overseeing his divorce this week that Hopper is dying of prostate cancer, but the 73-year-old actor was smiling broadly during the ceremony. “I just want to thank you,” Hopper told the crowd surrounding him. “That’s all I can do.” “Easy Rider” co-star Jack Nicholson stood behind Hopper as Hollywood star number 2,403 was revealed with Hopper’s name in front of the Egyptian Theater. Other stars on hand included director David Lynch and singers Johnny Mathis and Dwight Yoakam. With his 6-year-old daughter, Galen, by his side, Hopper waved and bowed to hundreds of fans lining a barricade along Hollywood Boulevard. Hopper’s doctor called him “extremely weak” and said he weighs barely 100 pounds in a court document filed this week, but he walked on his own during the 45 minutes he was at the ceremony. His forehead and right hand were bandaged, but not because of his illness. Hopper said he “took a terrible fall” and “got pretty screwed up” as photographers followed him outside his Venice, California, home Thursday. “I want to thank the paparazzi,” he said. “I know you’ve got a tough job, but sometimes you ought to be a little more sensitive.” Hopper, who is undergoing radical chemotherapy for advanced, metastasized prostate cancer, is also divorcing his wife of 14 years, Victoria Hopper. He is too weak and ill to be questioned by lawyers in the divorce, but attending Friday’s ceremony “is a positive experience in every way,” his doctor’s sworn statement said. The couple separated in January when he filed for divorce, claiming the stress of their relationship was threatening his life as he battled cancer … Hopper said the Starz cable network paid for his Hollywood star ceremony, which cost $25,000. His last acting job was on “Crash,” the TV series based on the Oscar-winning movie of the same name. Hopper’s acting career has spanned almost six decades. In the ’50s he had roles in several TV shows and films, including “Rebel Without a Cause” (1955) and “Giant” (1956). He became a Hollywood sensation for “Easy Rider,” the 1969 film he directed and co-wrote in which he played a dissolute, countercultural biker.

Dennis Hopper may be losing his battle with cancer but he ain’t dead yet. I am so pleased that he was well enough to attend this ceremony in his honor. Hopper is a Hollywood legend and it is very fitting that he be honored in this way … that he was able to participate in this tribute to his work is just wonderful. Congratulations Dennis … and KEEP fighting! We are all rootin’ for you!!

Imogen Heap, who is still touring the world on her recent album Ellipse, played a show in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday night where she — for the first time ever, I believe — performed a cover of a Tori Amos song:

Immi auctioned off a VIP Experience Meet Imogen Heap + A Song Just For You concert package for charity and the person who won asked Imogen to perform Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos. I understand the winning bid for the auction sold for $4000 with all the money going to charity. It should go without saying that Imogen‘s cover of Tori‘s song was just … divine. After the jump, watch video of Imogen Heap performing Tori Amos‘s Cornflake Girl live in concert at Billboard the Venue in Melbourne this past Thursday night …

Christian Bale took some time this week to made a trip down to Anaheim, CA to spend the day at Disneyland with his wife Sandra Sibi Blazic and their daughter Emmeline. As you can see from the following photo, Bale and fam enjoyed a spin on Space Mountain (tho, by the look on little Emmeline‘s face, not everyone was having the best time ever):

The British actor, his wife, Sandra Blazic, and daughter, Emmeline, had fun at Space Mountain in Disneyland, California. The artist wanted to save the moment and did not hesitate to take his video camera. After two years, the protagonist of The Dark Knight is still not speaking to his mother and sister, who did not know the reason for his anger. At least in this picture we observe that the temperamental leading man is having a fun time and we expected him to soon make peace with his family.

Aww … poor Emme … she looks a bit terrified … but at least Christian looks like he’s having fun! I totally love the Disneyland escort sitting next to Bale in this photo, he knew he was posing for posterity :) I’m a huge fan of Disneyland and I’m glad to see the Bale family are fans, too. Mebbe next time I make my way to the Happiest Place on Earth, I’ll run into the Bales on their next visit!

Earlier this month we learned the bittersweet news that the Fox network was seriously considering ending the long running hit TV drama 24 (which, in all honesty, revolutionized the hour-long action drama on television) but at that time, no decision about ending the show was made. Since then, we heard a rumor that NBC was interested in picking up the show if Fox decided to end it but no other concrete information about that report has come to light (and, in fact, you’ll read that Kiefer Sutherland admits the NBC plan was never really a viable option). But, just as expected, Fox announced concretely late yesterday that the current season of 24 will be the show’s last. The show is officially dunzo. Here is some press release information issued by Fox late yesterday:

In a joint decision made by 24’s star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Imagine Entertainment and Fox Broadcasting Company, it was determined that the acclaimed series will end its remarkable eight-season run. Jack Bauer’s last day on FOX will conclude when the final two hours of “Day Eight” air Monday, May 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). As the countdown to the series’ climactic conclusion races on, the final 11 hours will air uninterrupted Mondays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Multiple award-winning series star Kiefer Sutherland reflected on the show’s run: “This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.” Executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon said, “Kiefer and I have loved every minute of making 24, but we all believe that now is the right time to call it a day. I echo his sentiments of gratitude toward the show’s amazing creative team, as well as the studio and network who have always believed in us and shown us unbelievable support.” “24 is so much more than just a TV show – it has redefined the drama genre and created one of the most admired action icons in television history,” said Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment, Fox Networks Group. Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company added, “We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series and will be forever thankful to Kiefer, the producers, the cast and crew for everything they’ve put into 24 over the years. It’s truly been an amazing and unforgettable eight days.” “We are so grateful to Kiefer and Howard who have really poured their hearts and souls into making this show over the past eight seasons,” commented Gary Newman and Dana Walden, Chairmen, Twentieth Century Fox Television. “To everyone who contributed to this iconic series over its amazing run, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your incredible work.” Added Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, “I’m so proud to have been a part of 24, which has become such a cultural phenomenon. And to Kiefer and Howard and everyone who has worked on the show, many thanks.” Now in its eighth season with Kiefer Sutherland starring as the heroic Jack Bauer, the inventive and suspenseful 24 has been nominated for a total of 68 Emmy Awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of seven seasons, Sutherland garnered seven Emmy nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor – Drama Series. While the series gained global recognition, Sutherland’s portrayal of the legendary character penetrated the American psyche like no other dramatic television character to become part of the English lexicon. Premiering November 6, 2001, 24 employed a pioneering split-screen, fast-paced format with complex interweaving storylines as viewers followed anti-terrorism agent Jack Bauer through 24 pulse-pounding episodes, each covering one hour and presented in real time. Subsequent seasons combined the show’s unique and trend-setting format while delivering compelling new elements and attracting talented actors and guest stars, including the Emmy Award-winning Cherry Jones (President Allison Taylor). The series also currently stars Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brian), Anil Kapoor (Omar Hassan), Annie Wersching (Renee Walker), Katee Sackhoff (Dana Walsh), Mykelti Williamson (Brian Hastings), Freddie Prinze Jr. (Cole Ortiz), Chris Diamantopoulos (Rob Weiss) and John Boyd (Arlo Glass). The first six seasons were set in Los Angeles, and following the strike-induced delay of Season Seven, “24: Redemption,” a two-hour film bridging Seasons Six and Seven, was set in Africa. Washington, D.C. was the setting for Season Seven, and the final season of 24 finds Jack Bauer thwarting a terrorist attack in New York. At the conclusion of Season Eight, 24 will have a produced a total of 194 episodes (including “24: Redemption”), making it one of the longest-running action television shows in history.

As I mentioned before … the time for the show to end has come. The last couple of seasons have not been great and I would much rather see a show I love end gracefully rather than in a long, drawn-out way that might completely ruin all the great memories of a great show. Even as we mourn the death of a show like 24, we can take comfort in the fact that plans are deffo in the works to move the franchise to the big screen. This may be the end of 24 on the small screen but there is great hope for a string of big-budget films in the near future. After the jump, read a short interview that 24 star Kiefer Sutherland gave to TV Guide regarding the end of the show …
