Brody Jenner Proudly Shows Off His ‘Avril’ Tattoo

Earlier this week we learned that newish lovebirds Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner decided to doom their fledgling relationship by getting their names tattooed on one another. In those photos, we didn’t get a really good look at Brody‘s “Avril” tattoo … so today we get to see new photos of the couple out on the town here in LA last night that plainly show Brody‘s tragic new ink:


To be honest, it still looks like Avril‘s name is written on his arm in pen … but unless Brody hasn’t showered in the past few days, I’m now pretty sure that it’s a genuine he-is-really-gonna-regret-it-one-day tattoo. Avril‘s tattoo of Brody‘s name is written on her ribs just under her right breast … she’s luckily able to hide it better than Brody can. I personally feel these tattoos are the worst idea ever but … I guess only Bravil knows what’s good for Bravil.

Lindsay Lohan’s Lawyer Quits

And the hits just keep on coming for troubled starlet Lindsay LohanTMZ is reporting that her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley (the very woman who unsuccessfully tried to keep her client from getting slapped with a jail sentence earlier this week) has decided to drop out and quit as Lindsay‘s lawyer:

TMZ has learned … Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, has resigned as LiLo’s lawyer. TMZ called Holley for comment on a story we’re working on, and she informed us she is no longer repping Lindsay. Sources tell us Holley resigned earlier today. As for who Lindsay will be hiring … we’re told she’s a brand new lawyer, Tiffany Feder-Cohen, who was just admitted to the bar in November.

Lord, it can’t be easy being Lindsay‘s lawyer … I mean, I bet it’s really difficult trying to convince people of her innocence. Very obviously, Holley simply wasn’t up for the task so she decided to cut her losses and run like hell. TMZ is also reporting that Lindsay has vowed that she will “not go to jail” and is planning to file an appeal of Judge Revel‘s 90 day jail sentence ruling. It is believed that that futile course of action may have been the final straw that led to Shawn Chapman Holley‘s decision to quit defending Lindsay. I guess we’ll just have to watch and see what happens next. What do y’all think of Holley’s decision to quit? Is she smart for gettin’ out while she can?

Playing ‘Pretty Little’ Catch-Up

Ever since the new TV series Pretty Little Liars debuted on ABC Family a couple of months ago, I’ve been faithfully DVRing every single ep … I just never got around to watching the show. To be completely honest, the only reason I even got interested in the show was becuase Charmed star Holly Marie Combs was cast as a character on the show (as the mother of one of the pretty little liars). Yesterday, I found myself with some time and ended up watching the pilot episode … and then every new ep that was recorded on my DVR in full:


To be honest, I really enjoyed the eps I’ve seen thus far. The premise is interesting — a group of girls try desperate to keep their secrets from coming out as an unknown person tries to drag those secrets out in the open — and well executed. I credit the fact that the TV series is based on a book series for why the plotlines have been fleshing out so well … thus far. I love the entire cast but am particularly impressed with Laura Leighton (ex-Melrose Place). There is something about her character that I am really drawn to … and Laura plays her perfectly. By the time I finished watching all 5 hour-long eps, I was actually hungry for more. I’m not sure if any of y’all watch the show (which airs on ABC Family Tuesdays at 8) but if so, tell me what you think? IMHO, Pretty Little Liars is a perfect Summer series to get wrapped up in … thus far, it’s got me hooked.

Tonight, David and I are planning to attend the opening night gala event for Outfest here in LA. The new James Franco film Howl is debuting so I’m really excited to see it! I believe Mr. Franco might be in the hiz so … maybe I’ll have something fun to share tomorrow ;)

The Cast Of ‘Scream 4’ Comes Together On Set In Michigan

Thus far we’ve seen photos from the Michigan set of Scream 4 of franchise newcomers Hayden Panettiere & Emma Roberts as well as main protagonist star Neve Campbell. Today we get to see photos of Scream alums Courteney Cox-Arquette and David Arquette on set along with other newcomers Adam Brody, Marley Shelton and Anthony Anderson hard at work on the upcoming sequel film … behold:

The major stars of the original Scream trilogy have reunited, along with director Wes Craven, to film the fourth movie in the series. Real life husband and wife Courteney Cox and David Arquette were spotted on set yesterday along with Neve Campbell and cast newcomers Adam Brody, Marley Shelton and Anthony Anderson. Julia Roberts’ niece, Emma, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin are also set to appear in the film. The first three Scream movies were smash hits, revitalising the slasher film genre in the mid 1990s and spawning a slew of imitators. The original was one of the highest grossing films of the year when it was released in 1996 and has taken in an impressive £114million worldwide. The movies were inspired by the Halloween film series and the Gainseville Ripper murders of 1990. In Scream 4, Cox revives her role of intrepid reporter Gale Weathers, Arquette plays her on screen love, cop Dewey Riley again and Campbell reprises the part of Sidney Prescott, the girl terrorised by a serial killer in a mask. Scream was originally intended as a trilogy, but after ten years producer Bob Weinstein decided it was time for another movie. It is intended to be a ‘reboot’ of the series and the first of a new trilogy … The latest instalment is set in real time, ten years after the last, and centers around Sidney Prescott, who has finally put herself back together following the horrors of her past, before she is visited once again by the Ghostface killer. The movie promises the same tongue-in-cheek approach as the past three and Wes Craven raved: ‘Kevin [Williamson] is right on game with his new script – the characters and story crackle with energy and originality – to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I’ve seen in a script since….well, since the original Scream series.’ Filming started June 28th and release is scheduled for April 2011.

OMG, I’ve been loving all of the photos from the Michigan set of Scream 4 but these have to be my faves. It is so great seeing the gang all together … it’s also cool to see the new characters as well. I’ve missed seeing Adam Brody in, well, anything good so he is a sight for sore eyes. I have no doubt that this new Scream film will be good … I just know it’s gonna rule! The first 3 films are among my fave scary films of all time and I am very much looking forward to adding #4 to that list. Isn’t it great to see the gang together again?

Zoe Saldana Is The New Female Spokesmodel For Calvin Klein Underwear

As you may be well aware, Kellan Lutz is among the hot dudes who have been hired to promote Calvin Klein underwear on the male side and Eva Mendes was holding it down for the ladies on the female side. Today we learn that actress Zoe Saldana has been tapped to be the new female celebrity spokesmodel for CK Underwear … here is our first look at Zoe in a promo ad for the new Envy line of CK lingerie:

What gets between Zoe Saldana and her Calvins? Very little by the looks of her steamy new ad campaign for Calvin Klein Underwear. At a press conference in Germany today, the fashion label announced Saldana’s new starring role as the face of Calvin Klein Underwear and Calvin Klein Envy, the brand’s newest product launch, for fall 2010. “Calvin Klein has always put forth such beautifully executed campaigns,” the Avatar star says in a statement. “It’s very exciting for me to be associated with such an iconic, globally recognized brand like Calvin Klein Underwear.” Saldana’s sexy ads, which were shot by renowned fashion photographer Mikael Jansson in New York City, will make their debut in October 2010 fashion magazines as well as online and on outdoor signage at the same time. As Calvin Klein’s newest underwear model, Saldana will follow in the footsteps of steamy screen siren Eva Mendes who has sizzled in the label’s underwear, denim and fragrance campaigns since 2008.

Hot! Zoe looks amazing … I think she is the perfect lady to represent CK Underwear. I absolutely love that Calvin Klein decided to follow up Eva Mendes with Zoe Saldana as the face and body of CK lingerie. Back to back spokesmodels of color says a lot about the company’s view on diversity. I think it says even more about its views on beauty. This ad is really sexy, I can’t wait to see more.

Robert Pattinson Films Scenes With A Dog For His New Movie

When last we saw Robert Pattinson he had skipped out on the London premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse because he was bizzy lookin’ about as slick as can be in a stylish tuxedo on the SoCal set of his new film Water for Elephants. Today we get to see a couple new photos of Rob on set but this time he’s back in his scruffier-looking costume filming new scenes with a really adorable co-star:


So I guess, while Rob is running around getting water for elephants, he has to do so with cute pet pooch in tow? Those of you who have read the book might recognize the scene that Rob is filming … I’ve not read the book so I have no idea. Robbie and the pooch look awfully cute together, tho it really looks like Rob is doing more hard work than the doggie is ;)

‘The Social Network’ Releases A Second Movie Trailer

A couple of weeks ago we got our first look at the first movie trailer released for the upcoming David Fincher film The Social Network (commonly referred to as the Facebook Movie) and today we get to see trailer #2. While the first trailer was an ominously vague tease of the film (with music by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, who recently announced that he wrote the score for the film), this second trailer puts the storyline into a bit more context … kinda:


This new trailer uses the same audio dialog we heard in the first trailer but adds a back and forth “chat” by way of Facebook status updates. It’s a clever way to make the trailer for The Social Network look more Facebooky. After the jump, check out the trailer in full … More »

Jessica Simpson Surfaces With Her New Still-Married Man

Just a few days ago we got wind that Jessica Simpson has hooked-up with a new dude, a former NFLer named Eric Johnson, but it turns out that the couple have actually been together for about 5 weeks now … and today we get our first look at the new lovebirds out in public together. US Weekly has scored the first photo of Jessica and her new man Eric … who is still legally married, I might add! Oh Jess, you sure know how to pick ‘em:

The new issue of Us Weekly has the first pic of Jessica Simpson and her newest guy, Eric Johnson. He’s a former NFL player — and still legally married! The two began dating five weeks ago, shortly after pals brought Johnson — who retired in 2008 after an injury-plagued career as a tight end for the New Orleans Saints and San Fancisco 49ers — to a party at Simpson’s Beverly Hills’ home. “Jess is definitely rushing into this,” an insider tells Us. Indeed, in the photo, the couple are in Jacksonville, Fla., where they were celebrating Johnson’s grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary! When not hanging out with his entire family, Simpson and Johnson, who filed for divorce from his wife of five years, Keri, in January, made time for some serious PDA at the modest, family-friendly Ponte Vedra Inn & Club at which they were staying. While strolling to their modest apartment there, “Her hand was on his butt, and they walked slowly just to enjoy the moment… They looked cute together,” says an insider, who also adds that they spent time with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door.

As you may recall, Jessica got dumped by the last professional athlete she dated, Tony Romo, on her birthday last year. It looks like she’ll be having a happier birthday this year with her new dude … and meh. who cares if she’s still married? Clearly, it don’t bother Jessica. If you consider that things didn’t work out with her husband Nick Lachey and subsequent boyfriends John Mayer, Tony Romo and Billy Corgan you might think that this new relationship with the still-married Johnson may be doomed … and, well, you may be right. But at least homegirl keeps putting herself out there. She’s bound to get it right eventually … ain’t she? Here’s hoping this guy’s the one … er, after his divorce goes thru.

Lindsay Lohan Implies Her Human Rights Have Been Violated

For most of the day after Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail plus 90 days in rehab for violating the terms of probation imposed on her after her 2007 DUI conviction she managed to keep relatively quiet on her official Twitter profile. She posted a few messages to close friends (“@lyricaanderson can you and chris come by my apt? please”), posted a thank you to a celebrity friend (“thank you so much @KimKardashian – thanks for being such a good friend, it means a lot to me”) and even tried to explain why she had written “fuck U” on her middle finger nail while she was in court (“@liana_levi didn’t we do our nails as a joke with our friend dc? it had nothing to do w/court.. it’s an airbrush design from a stencil xx”). But late yesterday, Lindsay got real serious on her Twitter profile … and seemed to imply that her Human Rights have been violated by the 90/90 sentence imposed on her:

It is clearly stated in Article 5 of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights that…. / , “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” / this was taken from an article by Erik Luna.. “November 1 marked the 15th anniversary of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. But there were no / celebrations, parades, or other festivities in honor of this punishment scheme created by Congress and the U.S. Sentencing Commission….” / Instead, the day passed like most others during the last 15 years:Scores of federal defendants sentenced under a constitutionally perverted” / system that saps moral judgment through its mechanical rules.”

After she posted this information on her profile, she then posted a link to a story about an Iranian woman named Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani who faces death by stoning as a punishment for the crime of adultery (http://tinyurl.com/29kxdyf — please RT”). I’m gonna assume that Lindsay was merely retweeting the link about the Iranian woman to spread her story to others and WAS NOT likening her personal situation to the Iranian woman’s situation. I suppose it’s possible that Lindsay‘s tweets about Human Rights violations were aimed at what is happening to that woman in Iran but I honestly cannot believe that Lindsay would be so selfless. It’s clear that she believes she is being unduly punished for her crimes (in fact, she prolly believes she shouldn’t be punished at all) and is likely looking for sympathy from anyone who will give it to her. I honestly think it would be in her best interest to just take her lumps, serve out her punishment as ruled by the court, take her rehab seriously and make the strongest effort she’s ever made to clean up her life. Maybe she can one day actually work towards shedding light on Human Rights violations around the world … but first, she needs to get her own life in order.
