AnnaLynne McCord Celebrates Her 22nd Birthday

Life's a Beach
Sunday, July 19th, 2009

AnnaLynne McCord, who currently stars as the bitchy Naomi on The CW series 90210, was spotted enjoying a beach birthday party yesterday in celebration of her 22nd year of life. AnnaLynne partied up with her sisters Angel and Rachel along with a gaggle of friends … here are a few pics:


As far as I’m aware, none of AnnaLynne’s 90210 castmates made it out for the shindig … but it really didn’t matter cuz AnnaLynne seemed quite happy to frolic and play with her sisters. I assume there was a birthday cake on the premises but there was no indication that it was eaten … at least, not by AnnaLynne. In any event, it appears that a fun time was had by all! Happy Birthday, AnnaLynne!

‘People’ Magazine Selects The ‘100 Most Beautiful People’ Of 2009

The annual list
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

It is time again for People magazine to release their annual 100 Most Beautiful People issue and this year they have selected actress and breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate to grace the cover of the issue. Christina herself credits her man Martyn Lenoble for her beauty and talks about how his love for her is what makes her beauty shine. Here is the cover of the 100 Most Beautiful People issue of People magazine and a short piece on Christina’s beauty:


She has an “angel” of a boyfriend, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, “who loves me from head to toe.” She has a cozy Malibu beach house that she calls “the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.” And, after a very public battle with breast cancer that has given her a gratifying “feeling of purpose,” Christina Applegate has a new lease on life. “I used to be really shy but I started to come into my own in my late 20s and early 30s,” Applegate, 37, tells PEOPLE in the cover interview for the annual Most Beautiful issue – her first interview since her reconstructive breast surgery last November. “Now I’m not afraid to speak up in a room full of people and be a part of the conversation.” The Samantha Who? star says she’s finding balance and embracing her body after undergoing a double mastectomy in July. “You have to get through the physical transformations then buck up, go to work and try to be the normal, happy Christina for everyone around you,” she says. One source of strength has been Lenoble. “He’s been a friend for about 13 years,” Applegate says. “Our relationship gets stronger and stronger. I’m really lucky.” And, more importantly, he makes the actress feel “beautiful” about her new body. “I’m very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he’s been my rock through all of this,” Applegate says. “He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about.”

Considering the life-changing effect that enduring a double mastectomy has on a woman, I am very impressed with Christina’s attitude about her beauty (which is on full display in this issue of People magazine). I, for the life of me, cannot imagine what it must be like to survive a bout with cancer so my hat is off to her in that respect. I suppose congrats are in order for being named by People magazine as one of the 100 Most Beautiful People. But, there are 99 other folks who have been deemed beautiful by People — after the jump, check out a few of those pretty faces …

I <3 Ronson

The TV Guide
Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Blaurgh. Last night was a lot of fun and I’m still paying for it this afternoon. I swear, I’m never drinking again … ever. But fun was had last night … for sure. After I dropped off David at the airport, I met up with my friend Johnny for a quick cameo at a TMZ party at Red Rocks on Sunset. I really love the TMZ crew … they are the coolest bunch of people and it’s always a good time seeing them out in social situations. Because they all work so hard (pretty much 24/7), it’s rare to see them socially but when there is a TMZ party, it’s deffo a party. After spending some time there, Johnny and I made our way to Bar Marmont at the Chateau Marmont to attend the I Heart Ronson party to celebrate Charlotte Ronson’s new clothing line for JC Penney. Mark Ronson and the Version Players provided the live music and Samatha Ronson provided the party tunes after … it was a really fun event:


I managed to avoid running into Pug Dilton but I did get to chat with Nicole Richie for a bit. Her bump is getting so big! It looks much bigger in person than it does in pictures. Mark Ronson killed it on stage and Johnny and I had a blast.

But our night was over yet … after the Ronson event, we made our way to Fubar to get our drink on … and boy, did we ever. I haven’t gotten that loaded in a very long time … I mean, it was fun at the time but UGH I’m so paying for it now. I had plans to go with Darion and Kirsten to Disneyland today but, alas, the trip got scrapped cuz of my near deathness. We’re gonna try and do dinner and a movie later. Blah, we’ll see.

‘Twilight’s Kellan Lutz Celebrates His Birthday In Sin City

And you thought vampires never aged
Monday, March 16th, 2009

Joined by his Twilight co-star Edi Gathegi (who was, incidentally, also celebrating his birthday this weekend) and his 90210 co-star and girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord, Twilight and New Moon star Kellan Lutz celebrated his birthday at Privé nightclub inside the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV this weekend with all the pomp and circumstance that Sin City has to offer. Here are a few photos from this weekend’s festivities:


Since we saw photos of Kellan with his Twilight cohorts on the Vancouver, Canada set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon earlier this week, we now know that there’s always room to play even when there is work to be done. Kellan, Eli and AnnaLynne convened in LV to celebrate together while taking a brief respite from vampire movie making. Vampires can’t be all about work, now, can they? Happy Birthday, Kellan & Eli … now get back to work.

AnnaLynne McCord To Join The Cast Of The ‘Twilight’ Sequel?

'90210' star may play the minor character Heidi
Friday, February 6th, 2009

First we heard rumors that Vanessa Hudgens was interested, then we learned that Dakota Fanning is definitely interested … and now we get word that 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord is the latest member of Young Hollywood lookin’ to join the cast of the Twilight sequel movie New Moon:


Another 90210-er may be making a stop in the Twilight zone. I’m hearing that filmmakers have been considering the idea of casting 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming New Moon, the much-anticipated sequel to Twilight. Heidi isn’t a major character in the book, but McCord definitely has the gorgeous looks to pull it off. The character is a “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She’s also known as “bait” because of the way she uses her stunning looks to attract humans. In her brief appearance in the book, Bella describes Heidi as having “exceptional, unforgettable” beauty. She has stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes. Sources tell me McCord has auditioned for the role. “It’s not a big part,” one of the sources said. “Heidi would be more like a cameo.” McCord should feel pretty comfortable on the set. Her 90210 costar Kellan Lutz—and rumored real-life boyfriend—played Emmett in Twilight and will return for the sequel. McCord’s rep did not immediately comment nor did a rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment. Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting the flick with Robert Pattinson & Co. next month in Vancouver and Italy with a Nov. 20 release date. Summit has yet to make any major new casting announcements for New Moon.

Yeah, it sounds like pretty much everyone wants to jump on board the Twilight bandwagon these days. It makes sense that McCord might get the cameo role in the film … she does have a strong connection with Kellan Lutz (AnnaLynne’s rumored boyfriend and 90210 co-star who plays Emmett Cullen) and I suspect that might help her secure the role. I’m very curious to know who might get cast in the more high profile new roles in New Moon. Folks in Hollywood know a hot commodity when they smell one (kinda like how sharks can smell blood in the water) … I just hope that the rabid frenzy to get attached to the coming Twilight films won’t adversely affect the product of the films along the way. Personally, I think the strong desire by pretty much everyone to secure roles in New Moon will help the film’s success in the long run. Of course, we’ll have to see if the powers that be exercise good judgment when the decide to dole out the big parts. I guess we shall see.

AnnaLynne McCord Does ‘GQ’ Magazine

Whoa!
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Nip/Tuck vixen and 90210 beyotch AnnaLynne McCord is featured in a steamy new photoshoot for GQ magazine … behold:


When AnnaLynne McCord tells you she likes “strong female roles,” you guess she’s not talking about Meryl Streep territory. “Badass girls,” she clarifies. “With guns and a Ducati.” Ah. Well, there are no guns or Ducatis on 90210, but there she is—to her great amusement—playing the bitch. It’s become something of a habit for the pastor’s daughter from Atlanta, who first stirred up heat on Nip/Tuck as a Lolita out for liposuction. (Missed it? Get thee to the Internets!) Now the 21-year-old brings her talents to theaters in Fired Up, as the requisite evil cheerleader. But it took 90210 to make her a paparazzi target. So how are things at West Beverly High? Any good offscreen catfights? “History will repeat itself!” she says.

Yowza! AnnaLynne is really a spitfire … she is so deliciously evil in Nip/Tuck and just bitchy enough for 90210, I think she’s got a real shot at a long career in Hollywood. Well, mebbe that’s not entirely true but she does seem to be typecast as a certain character and, by the looks of this photospread, she seems really happy stoking the fires of typecasting. The girl is smokin’ hot … I’ll give her that. Whether or not she’ll be able to parlay her burgeoning fame into something more substantial remains to be seen. For now, tho, it looks like she’s perfectly content playing the bad girl. At least she does that very well.

AnnaLynne McCord Suffers A Wardrobe Malfunction On Set

'9021'-Oopsie!
Friday, November 21st, 2008

You know, in Tinsel Town, you really haven’t reached the level of Hollywood “It” Girldom until you’ve achieved your first wardrobe malfunction. In previous years, wardrobe malfunctions (specifically of the crotch shot variety) seemed like a daily occurrence but this year, there haven’t been that many NSFW moments to be had … until now. AnnaLynne McCord, who stars as the beyotchy Naomi Clark on 90210, accidentally popped out of her top as she tried to make her way from her tralier to the beach set of the show yesterday afternoon. While filming in Long Beach, CA, Miss McCord’s nipple slipped out of her top to say hello to the folks on set:


After the jump, check out AnnaLynne’s unfortunate NSFW slip up out …
