Cameron Diaz & Paul Sculfor Take Their Lurve Public

K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Posted by: Trent on September 7, 2008| 2 Comments

Here are a couple supercute pics of Cameron Diaz, who was previously attached to Justin Timberlake, and model Paul Sculfor, who was previously attached to Jennifer Aniston, currently attached to one another by the mouth on the very public streets of NYC earlier this week:


Cameron Diaz’s love life appears to be going from strength to strength – and she doesn’t care who knows it. Having spent the better part of the week publicly displaying her affection for new boyfriend Paul Sculfor, the actress doesn’t look set to stop anytime soon. The couple took a romantic stroll in New York, stopping on numerous occasions to admire the view – each other- as they shared a tender kiss along the way. The couple began quietly dating in June, not long after the former bricklayer split from former Friends star Jennifer Aniston. Lady Victoria Hervey – a close friend of the model – told Hello! magazine that the 36-year-old model was overwhelmed by Jennifer’s celebrity status. Still, it wasn’t enough to put Paul off another high profile romance with Cameron, who had previously shared a four-year relationship with Justin Timberlake. While their relationship has become increasingly serious, the 36-year-old says she isn’t preoccupied with getting married. “There are a lot of ways to approach commitment and relationships – and marriage is just one of them,” she said recently. “I think partnerships are a wonderful thing in whatever form they take, and I definitely want that in my life, whether or not it’s in the traditional sense.”

This is the first seeming relationship that Cameron Diaz has been in since her break-up with JT and I would have to say that she’s done very well for herself. Paul is a major hottie and he is well worth her time. I think these two make a great couple and they really seem to be into one another. Cam‘s gotta be in love to be so public with her affections like this. Good for them! Good for luve!

Daniel Radcliffe Debuts On Broadway … Nekkid

'Equus' opens in previews, shows us what Dan Rad is made of
Posted by: Trent on September 7, 2008| 68 Comments

Daniel Radcliffe made his Broadway debut yesterday as his new play Equus opened in previews at the Broadhurst Theatre in NYC. As you may recall, Dan stunned his Harry Potter fans last year when he premiered his Equus role in the UK … a role that requires full-frontal nudity on stage. Equus officially opens on Broadway on September 25 but last night was the show’s first preview performance. According to reports, Daniel gave a riveting performance:


Some might even say it was a magical evening. Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe appeared in his first preview performance of the Broadway drama Equus … earning raves from fans. “I thought that he was terrific,” Mandy Menaker, a college student who attended the performance at New York’s Broadhurst Theater, told PEOPLE. “He had a lot to offer. So I thought it was great.” Danielle Manente from New Jersey agreed that Radcliffe was wonderful. “He was really good. He captured the character [and] he was so into it. He never broke character. I believed everything he said.” In the revival of the 1973 Peter Shaffer play, which was also staged last year in London, Radcliffe stars as Alan Strang, a distressed and hostile teen who commits the horrifying act of blinding six horses, while a psychiatrist (played by Radcliffe’s Harry Potter costar Richard Griffiths) tries to get to the heart of why he did it. Radcliffe first entered stage embracing an actor playing a horse … His very emotional performance, which reveals Strang’s anger and fear, was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. Not to mention wowing the crowd with the nude scene, which comes toward the end of Equus. “Oh my God! That was nice,” said Manente of Radcliffe’s character fully undressed himself in an attempt at lovemaking with a young woman. “I’m not gonna lie. He looked pretty good.” “By that point he was so in the character,” Menaker added, “that you don’t think of it as Harry Potter naked. He’s naked as a character emotionally, so you’re not at all thinking that he’s physically naked. You’re so involved in the scene by that point that you don’t even notice.”

Yeah, I don’t care how “in character” he gets in this performance, I think I’d notice his nekkidness. Throughout the entire West End run of Equus last year no nude frontal photos of Daniel Radcliffe managed to make their way out of the theater (altho, a few pics of the very nekkid Alfie Allen hit the InterWeb earlier this year when he took over the role after Dan‘s run ended). After the jump, check out a few grainy pics of Daniel Radcliffe‘s NSFW nude scene in the first preview performance of Equus last night … More »

Tori Spelling Plans To Spill Again

She, apparently, hasn't pissed off enough people
Posted by: Trent on September 6, 2008| 9 Comments

Tori Spelling and her hubby Dean McDermott were on hand at the Avalon hotel in Beverly Hills, CA on Thursday night to celebrate the success of her memoir sTORItelling. You may recall this memoir angered a few people in Hollywood — not the least of which was Tori‘s former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty who claimed that Tori outright lied in the tome about their BH, 90210 days — which lead to big sales at the cash register. So, natch, Tori is planning another book:


What’s life like for a new mom in 90210? Tori Spelling is ready to dish. The actress, 35, is reportedly planning a new book – tentatively titled Mommywood, which will focus on her life as a Hollywood princess-turned-parent, according to publishers Simon & Schuster. Spelling’s debut effort this year, sTORI Telling, spent seven weeks on The New York Times best-seller list – and included accounts of her ill-starred first wedding, her father Aaron’s death and the roller-coaster relationship with her mother, Candy. The new book, already listed on Amazon.com and scheduled to hit the shelves in April 2009, is expected to focus on the birth and growing pains of 1-year-old son Liam and newborn Stella.

I think it’s wise that Tori keeps the focus on her family and off the Hollywood folk themselves … to be honest, I contend that her book prolly had something to do with her getting axed from appearing on 90210. Think about it, producers were prolly desperate to get Shannen Doherty on the show after they already secured both Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling. Once Shannen started bargaining, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned into a “me or her” scenario … Shannen got in, Tori got cut. Now, this is ALL conjecture on my part … but it makes sense. To think that the producers wouldn’t or couldn’t pay Tori Spelling as much as they are paying Shannen and Jennie is absurd. But … you never know. In any event, Tori seems pleased with her book success and I guess that’s all well and good for her … but I bet she’d much prefer the limelight that Shannen and Jennie are enjoying right now from their connection to the very hot 90210.

Stand Up 2 Cancer

Celebs team up with the 3 big US networks to fight cancer
Posted by: Trent on September 6, 2008| 21 Comments

ABC, CBS and NBC joined together to broadcast a simultaneous telethon to support the Stand Up To Cancer organization which seeks to bring awareness and raise funds for cancer research. Many celebs came out to the Kodak Theater here in Hollywood, CA last night for the live event, including Patrick Swayze, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals last night:


Three TV networks, cancer research advocates and more than 60 celebrities from music, sports, TV and film made history Friday night with a live telethon that aired simultaneously on NBC, ABC and CBS. Jack Black, Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry and Keanu Reeves — along with presidential nominees John McCain and Barack Obama — were among the stars participating in “Stand Up to Cancer,” an hourlong, commercial-free fundraising show spearheaded by entertainment-industry heavyweights whose lives have been touched by the disease. “This is an absolutely historic night, thanks to the unbelievable generosity of the three networks,” producer and cancer survivor Laura Ziskin told the audience at the Kodak Theatre before the show began. “We hope we’re going to make you laugh, and I know we’re going to make you cry, so I have some party favors,” she said as she tossed packets of Kleenex into the crowd. Cancer survivors Lance Armstrong and Elizabeth Edwards kicked off the program with statistics: Cancer kills 550,000 Americans and six million people worldwide each year. “That’s the equivalent of 9/11 every two days,” Armstrong said. Patrick Swayze, Billy Crystal, Salma Hayek and Christina Applegate urged viewers to call in and donate, while Neil Patrick Harris, America Ferrera, Christina Ricci and Kirsten Dunst answered phones. A visibly pregnant Jennifer Garner, along with Berry, Forest Whitaker and Casey Affleck, read personal accounts from those battling cancer.

And speaking of Patrick Swayze, it turns out that he was called by some the “best part” of last night’s telethon:

Patrick Swazye’s surprise appearance at the EIF “Stand Up To Cancer” fund-raising special impressed a nation of television viewers and a stage full of fellow celebrities. The actor, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year, was brought out on a darkened stage during the opening segment. When the lights came up, he received a standing ovation. Even Jennifer Aniston, who was in the middle of a phone call, stood up to pay tribute to Swayze. “He looks amazing,” former basketball player Charles Barkley told PEOPLE. “For me, seeing Patrick Swayze, someone who is actually fighting this disease, was the best part of the show. Seeing him in person was amazing.” Swayze smiled and danced in the wings through the show, holding his wife, Lisa Niemi. He even managed a moment of solo air guitar.

It is really wonderful to hear that Patrick is doing so well … and what a momentous event. The Fashion Rocks event in NYC synced up with the Stand Up To Cancer event here in LA last night as a whole slew of musicians — including Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Keyshia Cole, LeAnn Rimes, Ashanti and Ciara — gave a special performance of the song Just Stand Up which was recorded specifically to help raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Rihanna Performs ‘Vogue’ For ‘Fashion Rocks’

... there's nothin' to it
Posted by: Trent on September 6, 2008| 6 Comments

Rihanna was among the attendees and performers at Conde Nast Media Group‘s 5th Anniversary Fashion Rocks concert event which took place at Radio City Music Hall in NYC last night … and from what I understand from some folks who were in the audience last night, homegirl turned that mutha out. For Rihanna‘s performance on the show, she decided to pay homage to the queen herself — she performed her own version of Madonna‘s Vogue:


Loves it! This is such a brills idea. Both Rihanna and Madonna are single-name stars, nothing seems more appropriate than Ri Ri performing a Madge song. I’m sure it was an amazing performance, I’m looking forward to seeing it when Fashion Rocks airs this Tuesday night. Incidentally, there is a report going around that Katy Perry is planning to perform Like A Virgin at the 2008 MTV VMAs on Sunday night … personally and totally biasedly, my money is on Rihanna for the hotter Maddy tribute :)

Celebs Come Out For ‘Fashion Rocks’ In NYC

Fashion + Music = Woot!
Posted by: Trent on September 6, 2008| 9 Comments

Celebs and musicians of all sorts made their way out to Radio City Music Hall in NYC last night to be a part of Conde Nast Media Group‘s 5th Anniversary Fashion Rocks concert event, which seeks to honor and celebrate the convergence of music and fashion. Here are a few pics from the Fashion Rocks red carpet arrivals:


Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus and Charlize Theron were among the celebrities who appeared at the fifth annual Fashion Rocks concert celebrating the relationship between music and fashion. They walked the red carpet Friday night at Radio City Music Hall amid a media circus angling for glamour shots of other stars including Fergie, Rihanna, Chris Brown and the “Gossip Girl” gang. Brown, the R&B heartthrob, soaked up all the attention with a smile as he showed off his dapper ensemble of a black vest and shirt, gray pants, shiny shoes and diamond stud earrings. “To be a musician and a great entertainer, you have to be a trendsetter. To be a trendsetter, you have to know fashion — and I have fun with it,” explained the singer, who later changed into khakis and a black shirt and scarf for a performance of his hit song “Forever.” The event will air Tuesday in a two-hour special on CBS. Proceeds will benefit Stand Up To Cancer, a program established by the Entertainment Industry Foundation to raise money for cancer research. Stand Up To Cancer held a live telethon that aired simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS on Friday night … Other performers included Timberlake, Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Duffy, the Pussycat Dolls and the Black Eyed Peas. A highlight was Timberlake and Beyonce’s sizzling duet of “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing,” which channeled the soulful sound of the classic song’s original singers, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Stars mingled and sipped cocktails backstage in the green room, where Leighton Meester of the CW teen drama “Gossip Girl” and her actor-beau Sebastian Stan hung out before she introduced Duffy’s performance of “Mercy.” Meester’s “Gossip” co-star Chace Crawford chatted up actress Hayden Panettiere, who embraced her rock-star side in a silver Ferragamo minidress and black heels. “I usually try to mix class and then really funk it out,” Panettiere said of her personal style. “It’s rock meets class. I try — not always succeed, but I try.”

Wow, this really does sound like a star-studded event … I can’t wait to check it out when it airs on Tuesday night. I understand there were some very cool performances, including one from Rihanna that I will be talking about in a bit. After the jump, check out some pics of Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Kid Rock and others as they took to the stage last night … More »

Shannen Doherty Does ‘The Late Show’

Bet she never thought Letterman would come calling again
Posted by: Trent on September 5, 2008| 17 Comments

Shannen Doherty paid a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman last night in order to do some promo work for her new show 90210. It was, apparently, Shannen‘s first visit to the show since 1996. Here are a few pics of Shannen making her way out of the CBS Studios to post for pics and sign a few autographs for her adoring fans:


On the actual show itself, Shannen wore a completely different outfit (tho, I think I prefer this one) … and she managed to pull off a very charming interview, I thought. She talks about, among other things, her Catholic-inspired tattoo, the trials and tribulations of living in Malibu, CA and, of course, 90210. After the jump, check out video of Shannen‘s Late Show appearance … More »

Shane West Tries Out A New Look

Is someone into horror punk, perhaps?
Posted by: Trent on September 5, 2008| 15 Comments

Shane West showed up at Nylon magazine’s TV Issue release party at the Roosevelt Hotel here in Hollywood, CA last night rockin’ a new ‘do that made it look like he was auditioning to join a certain goth/punk/metal band known as Misfits:


The Misfits (not to be confused for THESE Misfits) are known for, among other things, their trademark exaggerated mohawk hair-do … a look that Shane West looks to be a fan of. The fact that the young Mr. West was also rockin’ some deep black bags under his eyes really made the whole look come together, I think. Do we like?

Jennie Garth Poses For Photos

Doesn't seem to be having a good time
Posted by: Trent on September 5, 2008| 1 Comment

Jennie Garth, who is currently riding a new wave of nostalgic fame due to her new permanent stint on 90210, was spied sitting for a magazine photoshoot here in LA yesterday afternoon. By the looks on her face, it doesn’t look like she was having a good time:


I wouldn’t say that Jennie‘s facial expressions are quite at the level of the master herself, Miss Whitney Port, but it looks like she can hold her own. Dunno what exactly was causing Jennie to make such sour faces but it’s kinda hard to hate on the girl no matter what she does. I’m a big Kelly Taylor fan so she has my heart.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Are Still Married

Despite the fact that the newlyweds are hardly actually seen together
Posted by: Trent on September 5, 2008| 5 Comments

Newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were snapped, gasp, together in NYC last night as the pair were making their exit from rehearsals from this weekend’s Fashion Rocks event at Radio City Music Hall. I believe the last time that Mr. & Mrs. Cannon were seen together in public was back in July after the couple returned home from their honeymoon trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. Here are a few pics of the happy couple last night:


Now, just because WE don’t see Mimi and Nick out in public together doesn’t at all mean that anything is wrong … but it is weird that they are keeping such a low profile. I suppose the lovebirds may be totally happy keeping themselves sequestered away from prying eyes as they enjoy their matrimoniness together. I must give props to Mariah for joining the impressive list of musicians who have decided to perform for the Stand Up to Cancer event tonight. This new venture has a We Are the World feel to it … hopefully it will help raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Click HERE for more information on the Stand Up to Cancer organization.
