‘People’ Magazine Names Chace Crawford The ‘Hottest Bachelor Of 2009’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:15:27 +0000

People magazine has released its annual issue devoted to the Hottest Bachelors of the year and have made their selection for this year’s coverboy. You may recall that the mag named Mario Lopez as the Hottest Bachelor of 2008 … but this year, the honor goes to Chace Crawford. Chace has been deemed by People magazine as the Hottest Bachelor of 2009:

Chace Crawford talks to his parents every day, vacations with his younger sister and – unlike his Gossip Girl character – says dating a married woman is “a definite no.” Without question, success (he’ll star in the Footloose remake) couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. But what else is behind those blue eyes? PEOPLE’s Elizabeth Leonard and Jennifer Garcia found out. Here’s a sneak peek of the interview with PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor!

On his first kiss: “It was fifth grade. Her name was Kiley Smith and she was my best friend’s twin sister. It was one of those super-awkward things. We were at camp, on a lake, really picturesque – it¹s kind of seared into memory! We’re still friends.”

On a perfect date: “All you need is a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation. The day a girl beats me in a game of Beirut [a kind of beer pong] is a good sign!”

On being single: “I’m not not looking for a girlfriend – but I’m not particularly looking for a girlfriend, either. I’m not knocking having a relationship; at the end of the day, you want to share with someone. But I just look at it as, I have the rest of my life to do that. I’m not in any rush.”

On dating Carrie Underwood: “I have nothing bad to say about that experience. It was awesome. I just didn’t know how to deal with it. I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight. It was such a whirlwind, but no regrets.”

On the made-up gay rumors about him and co-star Ed Westwick: “You know what we really did the first time we heard it? Ed goes, ‘Oh, did you hear that rumor about us being gay?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, man.’ He starts laughing and we’re kind of like, ‘Okay, you want to go play pool and have a beer?’ “

To be honest, I thought for sure that British heartthrob Robert Pattinson was gonna get the nod from People magazine as the Hottest Bachelor of the Year. There ain’t a day that goes by that People doesn’t do a story or even a blurb about R. Pattz and his effect on his fans. He seemed the shoe-in choice for this year’s #1 Hottest Bachelor … but clearly I was wrong. That’s not to say that Chace Crawford isn’t a great pick … he’s deffo a much-in-demand hottie and is an excellent choice for Hottest Bachelor of 2009. But, Chace is not alone on this list of hawt bachelors. After the jump, check out some of the other single men who made this year’s list of Hottest Bachelors — yes, R. Pattz made the list as did a now openly gay celeb …

Robert Pattinson and Adam Lambert are joined on the list by other single hotties like Shia LaBeouf, Brody Jenner, Common, Chris Pine, Taylor Kitsch, Ryan Eggold, Kellan Lutz and more. It looks like People really covered all the bases again this year … but the full list of 2009’sm 45 Hottest Bachelors won’t be revealed until this new issue of People magazine hits newsstands later on this week. Did YOUR fave bachelor make the list this year? Is there anyone missing that YOU hope will be revealed when this new issue is released?

‘Spring Awakening’ Opens In LA

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:03:52 +0000

The hit Broadway musical Spring Awakening had its red carpet opening here in LA last night at the Ahmanson Theater. This touring version of the show, whose last stop was San Francisco, CA, has made its way to LA and premiered last night. Here are a few pics from some of the red carpet arrivals last night:

As you can see, some castmembers from The CW’s 90210 came out for last night’s premiere. You may recall that the fictional kids at West Beverly High put on a performance of Spring Awakening at their school this season on the show. Interestingly enough, none of the 90210 actors who came out for last night’s premiere were actually involved with the fictional staging of the musical on 90210 (Jessica Lowndes’s character Adrianna was supposed to play the lead but had to be replaced after she got cracked out on drugs … on the show). David and I were very lucky to attend last night’s premiere opening and I’ll have my review in my TV Guide post later in the day. While the group of celebs who came out for last night’s opening wasn’t necessarily stellar, there were a lot of fun people in the hiz to enjoy the fun last night. Spring Awakening will run at the Ahmanson Theater until December 7.

‘90210’: The T-Shirts

It's Trent, Bitch! — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 18:01:47 +0000

A few castmembers from the new CW series 90210 made their way out to the Kitson boutique in West Hollywood, CA last night for the red carpet launch of a new line of t-shirts that promote the show. Back in the early ’90’s, Beverly Hills, 90210 spawned a crush of merchandising options (from frisbees to dolls to perfume) and it looks like the new gang at West Beverly High are trying to get in on that action with a new line of stuff of their own. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals at last night’s in-store launch event at Kitson:

I don’t personally think that the new batch of 90210 stuff is gonna be as popular as their predecessor’s merchandise but I can’t blame them for striking while the iron is hot. I think they might want to come up with better shirt slogans than Lacrosse Players Do It Better but the Team Silver and Team Naomi shirts are cute, if not inventive. If YOU are interested in procuring these 90210-themed t-shirts you can pop in to Kitson on Robertson Blvd. or order them online HERE. Never fear old skoolers, they’ve got a couple faux vintage BH, 90210 designs as well.

‘Teen Vogue’ Magazine Celebrates 6 Years Of Young Hollywood

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:54:18 +0000

Teen Vogue magazine held their 6th Annual Young Hollywood Party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in SoCal last night and managed to cull together only the biggest names in Young Hollywooddom (like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens) … and a whole bunch of young nobodies (pretty much everyone else). Here are a few pics from the event’s red carpet arrivals last night:

Well, you know that Zac had to be there since he is on the cover of the current Young Hollywood issue of Teen Vogue … and where Efron goes, Vanessa isn’t too far behind. The rest of the celebs who showed up were … well … in my opinion, less than stellar. Without any of the Gossip Girl kids or any of the girls from 90210 in attendance, I’m not sure what Teen Vogue was thinking by parading around these leftovers … the Willis sisters and the Sprouse brothers aren’t my idea of the future of Hollywood, sorry ’bout it. Meh. The party looks like it was a big dud.

‘90210’ Premieres In Malibu, CA

It's Trent, Bitch! — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:03:14 +0000

Beverly Hills, 90210 alums Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth joined the new crop of 90210 kids at a premiere event in Malibu, CA for the new CW spin-off which is set to debut on 09.02. It’s almost time y’all … we’re just days away from finding out if the new 90210 can live up to the hype and expectation of the stunning success of its predecessor … but for now, it’s just time to party. Here are a few pics from the event’s red carpet event last night:

Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth joined the cast of CW’s 90210 spin-off Saturday at a beachside bash to celebrate the show. The party took place on the Malibu shore – about 20 miles away from the Beverly Hills zip code, the AP reports. Doherty and Garth, who will reprise their roles as Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor in the new show, arrived separately. Joe E. Tata, who played Peach Pit owner Nat, also attended. Party guests expecting to get a glimpse of the show’s first episode were out of luck: The premiere was not screened. (The CW recently announced pre-broadcast copies of the series would not be distributed to TV reviewers and reporters as a “strategic marketing decision.”) Meanwhile, Garth recently said reuniting with Doherty (with whom she once got into a fistfight) wasn’t “as bad as I thought it would be. We’re both grown women, both professionals,” she told TV Guide. “Once we were working, it felt like a good fit.”

Tori Spelling, who continues to get the shaft from the new 90210 was, obvs, not in attendance at last night’s affair. Again, I’m excited at the prospect of the new show but I fear that expectations may be too high. I understand why the show’s producers are keeping the first ep under wraps until the series premieres next week but … I dunno, can it really live up to the hype? There are a lot of fond memories about the original show … I dunno if anything can really measure up.

‘90210’ Promo

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:36:04 +0000

As September 02 draws evernear (get it? 90210 premieres on 09.02 … well, 08 cuz 10 would take too long) the hype and anticipation for the new 90210 series on The CW also grows evermore … and to fan the flames of that anticipation just a bit, here are a whole slew of new promo pics of the principal cast of characters moving into Beverly Hills, 90210 this Fall:

After the jump, check out individual cast photos of the 90210 kids and 3 of the adults (tho, none of the “special guest star” Beverly Hills, 90210 alums) …

The kids:

Okay … can I get a big WTF? is going on with the pic of Tristan Wilds, the sole African-American cast member (who plays Dixon Mills) on the show … do you think they told him to pose like that? Cuz, the first thing I thought of when I saw this pic was the signature fingerpoint pose made famous by Isaac the Bartender, the sole African-American castmember on The Love Boat. Please tell me this wasn’t intentional!

The adults:

I’m not entirely sure which characters are sleeping with which but I’m sure all will be revealed very soon. It’s a pretty good looking cast … let’s see if they’re able to live up to the caliber of the original cast of kiddies from 90210.
