Robert Pattinson comes in second
‘GQ’ Names Prince Harry The Coolest Of The Cool

GQ magazine has compiled a list of the 50 Coolest Men under the age of 38 and have decided that Prince Harry of Wales is the coolest of the bunch. To be honest, I’m not all that impressed with the Top 10 picks selected for this list but anything list that puts Harry on top is a list that I wholeheartedly agree with:

Prince Harry has been crowned king of cool in a list compiled by GQ magazine. The sandy-haired royal beat the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Horrors singer Faris Badwan and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson to take the title. The magazine took 37 and a half to be the cut-off age in considering the coolest men. It took into account an ‘enviable sense of savoir faire, a talent for transforming the mundane into the extraordinary, or just a really edgy haircut’ to qualify, it said. Harry, 25, who is described as ‘soldier, ambassador, polo player, playboy’, turned his image around after a few youthful gaffes with his stint in Afghanistan, according to GQ. His big brother, Prince William, failed to make the rundown of young movers and shakers. Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders makes the top 10. ‘Wry, self-deprecating and often soul-searchingly existential, the drummer is indie music’s online answer to Jerry Seinfeld,’ the magazine said. Despite his personal troubles and fall from grace last year, golf pro Tiger Woods was also placed in the top 40. Youngest on the list is Albert Cocker – son of former Pulp star Jarvis – who is just seven. The magazine predicts he is ‘heading for big things with the in-crowd’. The list appears in the July issue of GQ, on sale from Thursday.

LOL! Despite the silliness of trying to compile an accurate list of who is “cool” (especially considering the ridiculous parameters that went into the decision-making process) I think the magazine is right to put Prince Harry on top. That being said, the fact that Tiger Woods is listed as one of the “coolest” men is complete bullshizz. Even if you give him “cool” cred for the rampant cheating he did on his wife with those countless bimbos (which I absolutely DO NOT GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR), he surely should lose all of his “cool” points for the mere fact that the idiot got caught. Total fail. Here is the GQ list of the Top 10 Coolest Men Under 38:

01. Prince Harry
02. Robert Pattinson
03. Reggie Love
04. Dizzee Rascal
05. Jason Schwartzman
06. Usain Bolt
07. Ryan McGinley
08. Dustin Lance Black
09. Matt Helders
10. Wells Tower
11. Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse)
12. Jack White
13. Jon Favreau
14. Roger Federer
15. Andre Saraiva

Interesting list, no? What do you think? Did GQ get this list right? Is there anyone who you think deserves to be listed in this Top 10?

Water Baby
Zuma Nesta Rock Hits The Pool

This past Memorial Day weekend saw a lot of celebs engaging in a host of relaxing and fun activities which signaled the unofficial start of the Summer season … activities like luxurious road trips, leisurely games of horse shoes and visits to the beach or the pool. Zuma Nesta Rock, the youngest child of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, enjoyed some of his weekend at the pool with a little help from his daddy … behold:

Awww … what a cutie. He looks so much like his mom, it’s really adorable. I can’t even believe that baby Zuma has already grown into such a big kid already. Gwen and Gavin like to take their kids outside to enjoy the outdoors in Summertime so this is surely the first of many photos of the Stefani-Rossdale kiddies that we’ll be seeing as the warm months progress.

For a "good cause"
Lindsay Lohan Shows Off Her SCRAM Bracelet

After going to great lengths to keep her new court-ordered SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet hidden from view by wearing baggy bell bottom jeans, beige suede knee-high boots AND tan leather knee-high boots (which she wore to the beach), Lindsay Lohan is finally ready to show off the new accessory she is legally obliged to wear. Lindsay posed for photographer friend Tyler Shields in a series of photos in her home where she appears to be casually showing off her SCRAM bracelet; photos that have been sold to photo agencies allegedly so the proceeds from their sale can be donated to an “undisclosed alcohol education program”. Here is one of the photos that has been made available of L. Lo and her new SCRAM bracelet:

Lindsay Lohan seems to be looking a little more comfortable with her alcohol monitoring bracelet as she poses for top celebrity photographer Tyler Shields. The troubled Mean Girls actress reclines on a white sofa in rolled up jeans which clearly show the court imposed SCRAM ankle tag. She is pictured writing in an A4 notepad with her laptop by her side showing the Top Shop website. A table in front is crammed full of empty cans of soft drinks including her favourite new tipple, energy drink Red Bull. A Parliament cigarette butt has been stubbed out in a can of Pepsi showing she is keeping some of her vices. The shots taken on Friday will appear in Shields’ new book ‘The Dirty Side of Glamour.’ LiLo said she agreed to the photo shoot in a bid to halt the frenzy surrounding the tag. In a statement the actress, said:‘To alleviate the chase to get the first shot of the scram bracelet, it was a good decision to supply one to the public.’ Proceeds from the sale of the photos are being donated to an undisclosed alcohol education charity. Shields tells People magazine, said: ‘Lindsay is amazing to work with, we have done it a few times and each time it gets better!’

While I find this notion that proceeds from the sale of these photos will be donated to an “undisclosed alcohol education program”, I think it’s a good move on Lindsay‘s part IF this donation will actually be made. I knew she wouldn’t keep the bracelet hidden from view for long … the last time she was court-ordered to wear a SCRAM bracelet back in 2007, she happily showed it off at every chance possible (remember THESE photos and THIS photo?). You can check out two other photos of Lindsay modeling her SCRAM bracelet HERE and HERE. I wonder how long until we see this new accessory out in the wild when L. Lo finally decides to wear a dress, a skirt or shorts?

"I'll take you higher, higher, higher"
Watch: Kylie Minouge, ‘All The Lovers’

Last week we got to see a short preview clip of Kylie Minogue‘s new music video All The Lovers, taken from her upcoming new album Aphrodite due out in July. On Sunday we got to see photos and a low quality video of Kylie performing the song for the first time at the 2010 Wind Music Awards in Verona, Italy. Today … we get to see the video in full:

The video world premiered at 12:00 AM in the UK and isn’t due to premiere here in the US until sometime later today … but because the Internet is the Internet, we are able to see the video in full just the lucky folks in the rest of the world without having to wait. The clip is really very inventive and fits the song very well. I love it. Check it out in full, after the jump …
