Brooklyn Beckham Earns His Keep

Earlier this week we learned that David and Victoria Beckham made their way to NYC to do a bit of promo work but Les Beckhams have already made their way back home to SoCal. Becks went out for a drive with his eldest son Brooklyn Joseph yesterday and was kind enough to let the little guy fill up the gas tank for him:

LOL! This is great. Not only do kids this age love doing stuff like this (well, at least I did at that age … these days, not so much) but it’s about time that the Beckhams started putting their sons to work. I got a measly $5 a week as an allowance when I was his age and for that I had to take out the garbage, vacuum the house, carry the laundry both up and downstairs and help my mother rake the yard. Yes, it was tantamount to indentured servitude. Brooklyn Beckham most likely wants for nothing at all, has access to untold bajillions, gets to travel the world and all he has to do is fill the gas tank on his dad’s expensive car? GRRRR. Well, at least he’s doing something. I think it’d be good for the lad if his parents fired their gardener and made him cut the lawn … that’d make him understand the value of a dollar.

‘Glee’s Lea Michele Does ‘ASOS’ Magazine

Broadway babe turned TV superstar Lea Michele — who stars as the amazing Rachel Berry on Glee — is featured on the cover and in the pages of the UK magazine ASOS. As you can tell from her coverphoto, Lea is lookin’ HOT HOT HOT in her ASOS photospread … nothing at all like her prim and shy character on Glee:

There is no question that Lea is an amazingly beautiful young woman but that beauty is not really showcased in full on Glee. The duty to show the world just how hot Ms. Michele is falls to fun magazines like ASOS here. And if you think she looks good on the cover, you ain’t seen nothing yet. After the jump, check out photos from Lea Michele‘s photospread for ASOS magazine …

Fourth Look: Christina Aguilera On The Set Of ‘Not Myself Tonight’

The world premiere of Christina Aguilera‘s new music video for her new single Not Myself Tonight will take place at 12:01 AM Friday morning (ie. tonight) but right now we get our first look at the 4th promo photo to be released from the video. As you can see below, Xtina will be engaging in some same-sex lovin’, bondage-style:

Here it is! The last behind the scenes photo from the “Not Myself Tonight” video shoot. Remember, Christina’s highly anticipated new video premieres in less than thirteen hours — 12:01 am Friday on VEVO.com! Get ready Christina fans!!

I suspect that we folks on the West Coast will get to see the video premiere at 9:01 PM, so it shant be long now before we finally get to see the whole enchilada in full. BUT, just in case you’d like one last tease — you can check out another teaser video clip of the Not Myself Tonight music video after the jump …

Girls' night out
Madonna & Lourdes Maria Get ‘Bent’

Madonna and her eldest child Lourdes Maria stepped out in NYC last night to attend the 2nd annual Bent on Learning Benefit which was held at held at The Puck Building in Manhattan. In a show of support for the organization, which seeks to help foster instruction in yoga and meditation to students in grades K through 12 in New York City public schools and youth centers, Maddy and Lola showed up to class up the red carpet:

I have to say, I kinda love that Madonna is lending her support to an organization that is trying to teach yoga to children … that seems so her, doesn’t it? I guess now that Lourdes will be playing a big part in the creation of Madonna‘s new juniors fashion line Material Girl, she will very likely be showing up at more red carpet events from here on out. I suspect Madonna will make sure to accompany her to these sorts of events for a few years yet but it won’t be long until Lola starts going out on her own. Remember when Lourdes was just a baby? Now she’s becoming a full-fledged socialite … where does the time go?

There will be blood
Lindsay Lohan Poses For Photographer Tyler Shields

Photographer Tyler Shields has just updated his official website with a batch of new photos he shot of Lindsay Lohan. The recent shoot resulted in a series of photos that feature L. Lo in a one piece bathing suit (lingerie?), high heel shoes and classic Ray Ban sunglasses which will be featured in an upcoming new book titled The Dirty Side of Glamor:

Everyone has an idea of Lindsay Lohan and last night I had the pleasure of working with her she is a huge art lover and simply wanted to create some and that is exactly what we did! This is just a taste more to come… Lindsay Will have a few crazy shots in my upcoming book The Dirty Side of Glamor

It turns out that a few more photos of Lindsay were taken during this photoshoot, photos which feature Lindsay wielding a handgun with the walls covered in blood. I think those photos are meant to be “artistic”. After the jump, check out those photos from L. Lo‘s photoshoot with Tyler Sheilds

Director Wes Craven speaks
‘Scream 4’ Releases The First Teaser Poster

Last month we learned that the upcoming sequel film, Scream 4, was given an official release date of April 12, 2011 (just under a year from now) and today we get our first look at the first teaser poster released for the film:

It’s been 10 years since his last appearance in Scream 3, but Ghostface is back for more, as is the original Scream team of director Wes Craven, screenwriter Kevin Williamson (The Vampire Diaries), and the acting trio of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. Dimension Films gave EW.com the first look at the final teaser poster for Scream 4, which will hit theaters April 15, 2011.

In addition, director Wes Craven talks to Entertainment Weekly magazine for the first time about the planned 4th installment of the Scream horror movie franchise:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So how did Scream 4 come together?
WES CRAVEN: Bob Weinstein [the head of Dimension Films] felt that 10 years was enough of a wait. He felt it was time to give the original three films their due, so he called Kevin Williamson, who started coming up with ideas. For some years, Kevin had the notion of the general course of the next three movies. There was a point where Bob came to me and said, “We want to start showing you pages — do you want to do it?” And off we went.

Craven‘s interview with EW continues after the jump …

Perfection

Back in January we got to see an adorable and HILARIOUS parody video of a group of children doing their interpretation of MTV‘s reality TV show Jersey Shore. Today we get to see those same adorable kids doing their version of MTV‘s faux reality TV show The Hills:


Now, this video actually came out yesterday but in my Nyquil haze of semi-consciousness I wasn’t really paying attention. It was only today that I finally got around to watch the video … and, man, am I glad that I did. These kids TOTALLY nail The Hills. Lil’ Audrina, lil’ Heidi and lil’ Spencer are my faves but, damn, all of these kids do an amazing job. If you don’t laugh your ass off watching this video then you must be inhuman … or are possibly Spencer Pratt. Check out this vid and tell me what you think … it’s genius, right?

Welcome to your 'Nightmare'
‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Premieres In LA

Last night members of the principal cast of the new version of A Nightmare on Elm Street convened at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre for the Hollywood premiere of their new film. Altho the movie is a remake of the horror 80′s classic, it turns out that the premiere itself wasn’t all that scary at all:

Three days shy of the U.S. release of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, Warner Bros. Pictures has held the Los Angeles premiere of the movie on Tuesday, April 27. Taking place at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the event uses black carpet to welcome all the guests. Despite the dark-colored carpet, the cast and crew show cheerful faces when spotted at the event. Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Thomas Dekker and Kyle Gallner gather in front of a giant poster of the movie to pose for cameras. In another shot, Haley who plays Freddy Krueger is seen playfully pointing a fake razor glove to the depicter of Nancy, Mara. Director Samuel Bayer, producer Michael Bay as well as Toby Emmerich from New Line Cinema also showed up at the special screening. Additionally, the event is supported by the presence of some celebrity guests such as Kendra Wilkinson, BooBoo Stewart and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is serving as the remake of Wes Craven’s 1984 film with the same title. The upcoming horror film, which will hit U.S. theaters on April 30, sees Freddy returning to hunt suburban teenagers, including Nancy and her boyfriend Quentin, and kill them through their dreams. Trying to stay away from death, they struggle not to fall asleep.

Okay, so the premiere may not have been all that scary but I’m sure hoping the film itself will scare the hell out of me. The original kinda ruined my sleep for weeks after I saw it (many, many years ago) so it’d be fun if this remake can live up to that standard. I’m not sure when I’ll make my way out to the theater to see Nightmare but I’m pretty sure I’ll be seeing it this weekend at some point. Are any of y’all planning to see A Nightmare on Elm Street this weekend as well?

Photoshopping friends together
The Ladies Of ‘Sex And The City 2’ Do ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Magazine

Cynthia Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall are all featured on the cover of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar Japan magazine to promote their upcoming sequel film Sex and the City 2 (due out in theaters here in the US on May 30). Tho, if you look closely, you can kinda tell that the ladies were not photographed together for the cover … it appears they were actually Photoshopped together in post-production:

I find it a bit odd that the SaTC ladies couldn’t get together to pose for a real magazine cover (especially with a new film to promote) but this isn’t the first time the ladies have pulled stuff like this. They are notorious for never posing for photos together for shoots like these. They each pose on their own and let the Photoshoppers do the rest. They each look very lovely tho (well, save for Ms. Cattrall … what is going on with her head?) but this doesn’t seem like a magazine that I feel I’d need to pick up.

¡Ay, Carumba!
‘The Back-Up Plan’ Premieres In London

Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin were in attendance at the Vue Leicester Square for the London premiere of their new film The Back-Up Plan earlier today. As you can see from the following photos, J. Lo tried to rock a hair’do that famously belongs to another A-List Hollywood celeb:

Unfortch, unless this particular hair’do isn’t blue in color then it looks utterly and COMPLETELY ridiculous. Forget the trash bag dress, I have no idea what the hell Jenny from the Block was thinking by trying to rock this hair’do … it does not really work for her. Even Mr. O’Loughlin looked mortified to be standing next to her on the red carpet last night. No … this whole thing that J. Lo is trying to pull of is just ….. no.
