Milo Ventimiglia is among the stars (including Will Arnett, Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Channing Tatum and others) who appear in a new series of online parody videos for Mean magazine called Cinemash. Milo’s video features our fave Heroes hero portraying the role of Oldboy as he opens a can of whoop-ass on a bunch of AIG executives. For those of you who are not aware, Oldboy is a 2003 South Korean film that highlights the virtues of bloody vengeance. Here is what Milo looks like as Oldboy in this new parody video along with the Cinemash press release:

Hollywood’s most recognizable stars have joined MEAN’s Cinemash, an eye-catching video project created by MEAN magazine. MEAN’s Cinemash recreates scenes from prominent films – ranging from cult classics to Oscar winners, all with eyebrow-raising casts. The series kicked off with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt cinemashing the classic film SID AND NANCY. The ensemble casts include some of the biggest names in comedy, such as Will Arnett, Thomas Lennon, and Aziz Ansari, alongside the most unexpected actors, such as hip-hop artist Common and Channing Tatum. Available exclusively for download on Microsoft’s Zune, and streaming on MSN, the films will be released weekly throughout the summer.

I got two words for my homeboy Milo: Nice Wig. To clarify, the videos are available for download onto Zune players but they are also available for viewing online. After the jump, check out my homie Milo Ventimiglia in the Cinemash version of Oldboy …

Heroes hottie Milo Ventimiglia made an appearance at the Heroes for Autism event at The Avalon in Hollywood, CA yesterday and he used the occasion to show off his new look … homie got himself a haircut, behold:

Okay, so either Milo lost a bet or he is gearing up for a new gig (a remake of Slingblade, perhaps?). I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this new ‘do of Milo’s … the sides seem awfully short and the top seems disproportionately longish. Milo is a good looking man and he is capable of making most anything look good … but I dunno about this haircut. What do y’all think … thumbs up or puke on your shoes bad?

Lance Armstrong teamed up with artist Shepard Fairey, various local civic leaders and friends like Milo Ventimiglia for a 2.2 mile charity bike ride in Hollywood, CA to raise awareness and funds for a global art exhibition called Stages that will help support the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Here are a couple photos of Milo before he saddled up to ride with Lance and co. Saturday evening and some info about the event itself:

[Saturday] evening, cyclist Lance Armstrong rallied friends, the bike-friendly, and local leaders as they took to the streets of Hollywood as part of his Livestrong: Hope Rides Again promotion. Armstrong was joined on two wheels by local civic leaders like Councilmembers Eric Garcetti and Tom LaBonge, and later by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and artist Shepard Fairey all to raise funds and launch a global art exhibition called “Stages”, which features the work of 21 artists and will help support the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Fairey’s iconic work can be see emblazoned on the buildings of Hollywood; although “Hope” is a key term for Armstrong’s exhibit, it’s also one that Fairey has used elsewhere–maybe you’ve seen it? Here he’s making do with “Defiance,” “Courage,” and “Action!”

Sounds like an amazing event, I love that Milo was able to take part in the event as I know how dedicated he is to the work of the Livestrong campaign. As disinclined to partake in anything of a physical nature, I absolutely commend those who are willing to devote their time and energy for amazing causes like this. The Lance Armstrong Foundation works so hard to raise awareness and funds for cancer research, I simply have to respect anyone who lends a helping hand to the cause. Kudos to all the participants in this weekend’s event. Oh, and mebbe Milo can wear a bit more spandex next time he gets on a bike? Thanks!

Sad news to pass along to all y’all HaLo fans … US Weekly is reporting that Heroes co-stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have decided to end their romantic involvement with one another. They’re dunzo, y’all!

Heroes costars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have called it quits, Usmagazine.com has learned. “It was a lifestyle conflict,” a source close to the couple tells Us, adding that the split happened within the last week. “They were in very different places.” Adds the insider, “They are still on friendly terms. There are no hard feelings.” The source tells Us that Panettiere, 19, “is young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that’s not his style.” Ventimiglia, 31, “has been concentrating on work on his production company [Divide Pictures],” the source adds. The two, who began dating in 2008, had been an open secret for months – in part because of their 12-year age gap.

Boo! This is sad news … I really thought that HaLo really made a supercute couple. Despite the age difference, they always looked so happy to be with one another … I’m bummed they’re dunzo. I wonder if that rumor that Hayden was spied making out with Jesse McCartney had anything to do with the break-up. I hope that the make-out session happened after the couple decided to call it quits — and wasn’t the cause of the split. I’m glad to know that the pair have decided to remain friends. It’s still a bit sad that they couldn’t make it work :(

Here are a few supercute pics of lovebirds Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia spending a little vacation time together on the romantic isle getaway of Bora Bora in French Polynesia this week:

Good looking, toned and talented – Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia looked every inch the superhero couple as they walked hand in hand along the beach. The pair, who both star in the science fiction drama Heroes, are enjoying a romantic break on the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora. Despite dating for more than a year, it is rare for the couple to be spotted together in public. It emerged the pair, who have a 12-year age gap between them, were dating in January last year. Rumours first circulated when they were seen smooching at an Emmys party in September 2007 and by the end of the year they were regularly seen out together at showbiz events. Milo, 31, had previously denied rumours when asked about reports of a possible romance with the 18-year-old actress. He said: “She and I are close friends. It’s only natural that people are going to couple us together.” The couple met on the set of superhero drama Heroes and they enjoy a close relationship on as well as off screen.

Nice to see that the couple are still happily attached. Because we don’t see them out and about very often it’s hard to tell how things are going (we last saw the pair in public together back before Halloween). I’d say these new pics of the couple on holiday together is a very good sign that things are coming along swimmingly with the couple. I like them together … they make a nice match. Here’s hoping that 2009 will be a very good one for HaLo … as it stands, it looks like they’ve got the New Year off to a great start!

This past Saturday I was very lucky to be able to attend the Rest comic book launch and in-store appearance at The Golden Apple comic book shop here in LA with Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia and comic artist Tim Sale. Milo, very graciously, signed a couple of copies of Rest #1 so that I could give them away to two lucky Pink is the new Blog readers. So it’s contest time, y’all:

This year I will pick two submissions at random and will send those folks each a signed comic book. So, if you would like to enter for your chance to win a comic book, send in a HALLOWEEN PHOTO of you and mebbe some friends, kids, neighbors, family members, pets, whatevs to pinkisthenewblog@gmail.com with the subject line Rest Comic Book Contest. I’m hoping to get a bunch of fun pics so that I can post some of them right here on the site. I will accept submissions until next Monday, November 3 and then I’ll randomly pick two winners to each receive an autographed comic book. After the jump, check out a scan of the second signed comic book up for grabs …
