Prince Harry Honors Royal Navy Personnel Who Have Served In Iraq

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 05:00 PM PDT

Earlier today we saw photos and video of Prince William in New Zealand speaking at the memorial service for the victims of the deadly Christchurch earthquake that struck the country last month and right now we get to see photos of Wills‘s younger brother Prince Harry at a medal service for Royal Navy personnel in Portsmouth being honored for their service in Iraq.

Prince Harry has visited Portsmouth naval base to award medals to sailors who have served in Iraq. He presented Operation Telic service medals to the companies of mine clearance vessels HMS Grimsby, HMS Middleton and HMS Shoreham. The prince was given a tour of minehunter HMS Cattistock and met naval personnel and their families. He went on to lay the foundation stone for the new £36m museum housing Henry VIII’s flagship, Mary Rose. The event was Prince Harry’s first medal presentation. Able Seaman Grant Mallion, of HMS Shoreham, from Cambridge, who was celebrating his 20th birthday, said the prince talked to him about the Six Nations rugby tournament and England’s chance of winning. He said: “It was a great honour to receive my medal from Prince Harry. “It was my first deployment and it was exciting to work in quite different conditions.” Leading Seaman Sam Dixon, 24, of HMS Grimsby, from Plymouth, Devon, said: “I was immensely proud to receive a medal from Harry because not everyone gets such an opportunity. “He asked me if I was a mother figure on board as the senior wren and I said ‘of course’.” The prince, who is Commodore-In-Chief, Small Ships and Diving, also presented medals to the deployed Mine Warfare Battle Staff. At the site of the new Mary Rose Museum pupils from Haslemere Preparatory School buried a 2011 time capsule in the floor of the complex which is due to open in autumn 2012. This year marks the 500th anniversary of the launch of the Mary Rose. It sank in 1545 and was raised from the Solent in 1982 in an ambitious project backed by the Prince of Wales.

It’s really cool to see both young princes reppin’ the British Royal Family so well. I don’t know that I have any personal feelings about the British monarchy but I think with Prince William as the future leader of the crown, the House of Wales will be well represented. Prince Harry looks great in his fancy military dress, don’t he?

What Is Taylor Lautner Doing In A Yearbook From 1965?

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 04:00 PM PDT

Here’s your OMFG/WTF? of the day. While perusing her teacher’s yearbook from 1965, a Taylor Lautner fan came across a photo of a man named John M. Francis that looks so much like Taylor that she had to share it with the Internets. I’ve been staring at this photo for a while now and I have to say, the resemblance is uncanny. Just how old is Taylor Lautner, like, really?


I mean … it’s uncanny!! This man back in 1965 looks exactly like Taylor Lautner looks today. So, either the two are doppelgängers of one another, Taylor is the reincarnation of this John guy or … Taylor Lautner is really a vampire who does not age. HMMMM. What do y’all think?

Bradley Cooper & Renée Zellweger Are Dunzo!

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 03:00 PM PDT

Sad yet not entirely surprising news to pass along today … after almost 2 years together (even tho the couple were never really seen together all that much), US Weekly is reporting that Bradley Cooper and Renée Zellweger have called it quits. Yes, folks … the couple that seemed to exist only in myth has, apparently, decided to break-up. They’re dunzo, y’all.

Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger have reached their limit. After less than two years together, the couple have split, multiple sources confirm to UsMagazine.com. Reps for both Cooper and Zellweger had no comment. Limitless star Cooper, 36, first met Oscar winner Zellweger, 41, six years ago on the set of their thriller Case 39 — but romance didn’t bloom until summer 2009. (In the interim, both stars had short-lived marriages: Cooper to actress Jennifer Esposito, Zellweger to singer Kenny Chesney. Both unions petered out in less than six months.) After being photographed dining together in NYC in July 2009, the duo were spotted kissing in Spain in early August; the next week, he took her to his Philadelphia home town. The couple remained steadfastly tight-lipped about their relationship in the press. Asked about Zellweger by Details magazine in the June/July 2010 issue, Cooper retorted, “I just can’t.” “They’re so down to earth and [they] spend time with family whenever possible,” a source close to the couple told Us last year. Indeed, Zellweger was spotted frequently in the L.A. area palling around with Cooper’s mother. “They’re the real deal!” another insider said of the twosome at the time. Doing press for his new movie Limitless, Cooper stayed typically mum on his love. On the Howard Stern Show on Monday, Howard Stern grilled the Hangover star about Zellweger; Cooper simply denied any engagement plans.

When last we saw Bradlée together here on the blog, they stepped out for dinner with Renée‘s parents back in September and then before that, Bradley came to Renée‘s rescue after she got into a small car accident in January of 2010. For the most part, the couple kept their relationship out of the press … for whatever reason they may have had. It’s unclear if the couple ever plan to publicly confirm this split, if true, but — again — news of the break-up isn’t at all surprising to me.

Watch: Behind The Scenes Footage Of ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2′ Has Surfaced

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 02:08 PM PDT

The final installment of the Harry Potter film franchise will open in theaters this Summer, mere months away, and today we get our first look at some of the footage from the final Potter film. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 will conclude the tale that has captured the hearts and minds of both young and old the world over for the better part of the last decade. Check out behind the scenes video below that gives us a taste of what’s to come in the final film due out in July.


The end is nigh, for real this time. Part 1, released last Fall, was just the precursor to the final showdown to come. I know I’m gonna be bawling like a baby when it’s all said and done. This preview video is a great tease for the final film. I can’t wait to see more … tho, to be honest, I’m really dreading the end of Harry Potter :(

First Look: Adrianne Palicki In Costume As Wonder Woman

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 01:00 PM PDT

In mid-February we learned that Friday Night Lights actress Adrianne Palicki was cast in the coveted role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman for the new David E. Kelly reboot TV series for NBC due out this Fall. Earlier this week we saw photos of Elizabeth Hurley on the WW set as the villainous Veronica Cale but right now we get our FIRST LOOK at Adrianne in costume as Wonder Woman herself. As you might imagine, this new incarnation of Wonder Woman comes with a new costume … a costume that makes a few changes to the iconic costume that we all know and love. Check it out what the new Wonder Woman looks like below.

Red alert! Or should we say blue? EW has obtained an exclusive first look of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — from NBC's reboot of the classic 1970s series. What's different from what we've seen before? Well, how about those shiny blue pants? And blue boots instead of red ones? Compared to Lynda Carter's get-up, this body-hugging extravaganza de-emphasizes the patriotism and seems to play up the comic's Greek mythology. And a special shout-out to those bracelets! Wonder Woman is being remade by Boston Legal writer David E. Kelley, who has incorporated the superhero's signature lasso, cuffs, and plane in the pilot. NBC promises the project, if picked up to series, will offer a serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character. Along with Palicki, Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) and Cary Elwes (Saw, The Princess Bride) have joined the cast. Hurley's character runs a pharmaceutical company that is creating a drug that makes people stronger while Elwes plays the CEO of Diana's company, Themyscira Industries.

OK … so maybe Wonder Woman isn’t wearing pants, per se, but these are deffo tights … which is a big change to the iconic Wonder Woman costume. I thought I had prepared myself for changes like this but … I guess not. This new costume looks more like the new costume that was introduced in the WW comic books last Summer:


But thankfully she’s not wearing that hideous jacket nor those fugly trucker boots. I really do not like the costume as featured in the comic books but I’m not quite sure how I feel about how it looks in this photo. It’ll take me some time to get used to this new look … if I can get used to this new look. Vinyl pants with a camel toe seam, REALLY?! What do y’all think? Do you like this new incarnation of Wonder Woman at first glance?

Irish Car Bombed

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 12:45 PM PDT

Last night David and I made our way down to Manhattan Beach, CA to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Josh and Emma, just like we did last year. So what did we do for St. Patty’s Day? Why, we went to an Italian restaurant, of course ;)


Honestly, our hang out plans had nothing to do with the holiday, we just wanted to hang out since we’ve been away for so long. After dinner, tho, we did made our way out to an Irish pub for a couple pints of Guinness and a couple of Irish Car Bombs.

Tonight, David and I are meeting up with his aunt Judy who is in town for the weekend. Afterward, I’m going to make my way to the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA to see House of Pain in concert. Yes, the very same House of Pain that is responsible for the hit 90′s rap song Jump Around:


It should be a blast!! I hope all y’all are having a great Friday and will have an amazing weekend!!

Is Ashley Greene Hookin’ Up With Jared Followill Of Kings Of Leon?

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 11:30 AM PDT

Yesterday we learned the sad news that Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene have broken up. Today we learn that Ashley ain’t sweatin’ the split one bit … because she, apparently, has already moved on with Jared Followill from the band Kings of Leon. Ashley and Jared were snapped lookin’ awfully coupley as they celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in NYC, NY yesterday. Check out the photos below.

Just a day after announcing she had ended up six-month romance with Joe Jonas, it looks like Ashley Greene may have already found a replacement. The Twilight actress was spotted with Kings Of Leon bassist Jared Followill as she hung out in New York City yesterday. In a nod to St Patrick’s Day, the brunette wear wearing a pair of green jeans with a black cardigan and boots as she left a Manhattan bar. But it wasn’t quite a romantic date – the pair were joined by Greene’s father, former U.S. marine Joe. Although she didn’t comment directly on Followill, she wrote on her Twitter last night: ‘Good food. Good friends. Great day. Now I’m at home watching Beauty And The Beast haha. Super cool.’ The 23-year-old is currently on a break from filming the latest Twilight, Breaking Dawn installment in Vancouver, Canada and appeared very comfortable with the 24-year-old musician. OK! Magazine claim the pair were ‘dancing and flirty’ while in the bar. Despite appearances, Greene hasn’t traded in clean-cut Jonas Brother for a wild rocker. Despite the title of their mega-hit Sex On Fire, Kings Of Leon are actually quite a religious band, having been brought up by their pentecostal preacher father.

HMMM … Ashley seems to have a type, don’t she? First, she dates a guy who proudly proclaims that he is saving his virginity for marriage. Then she trades him in for a Pentecostal rocker. Well, at least Ashley and Jared make a nice-looking couple. So even if they aren’t, you know, doing the do … at least they each have someone pretty to look at ;)

Prince William Delivers A Moving Speech At A Memorial Service For The Christchurch Earthquake Victims

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 10:51 AM PDT

Prince William has made his way to Christchurch, New Zealand today to deliver a speech in honor of the victims of the earthquake that struck the city last month. Prince Wills — in kingly fashion, I might add — also paid homage to the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami that struck the northeastern part of the country one week ago today. Check out photos, video and deets below from Prince Wills‘s speech in Christchurch earlier today.

Prince William reflected on the horror being endured by the disaster-stricken Japanese as he spoke in the ruins of Christchurch city at a memorial service for the victims of one of New Zealand’s most destructive earthquakes. More than 40,000 people crammed into leafy Hagley Park, near the devastated business district of New Zealand’s second largest city for the first official occasion of national mourning since the quake on February 22. Police have confirmed 166 deaths from the magnitude 6.3 quake, but the toll could exceed 180 with remains still to be identified. William, representing his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, the monarch of New Zealand as well as Britain, spoke of his sympathy and admiration for the people of Christchurch and of those suffering after last week’s massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan. 'This community, more than any other in the world, can appreciate the full horror of what is unfolding in Japan,' he said. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with them, too.' The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan a week ago killed thousands of people and critically damaged nuclear power stations, where workers are fighting to prevent a radiation crisis. William, second in line to the British throne, has spent two days in Christchurch touring the devastated city centre and its ravaged suburbs. He has met with residents, many of whom have lost homes and businesses. And after his speech he mingled with around 400 relatives and partners of those who perished in the quake and its aftermath. 'I convey to you Her Majesty’s message of deep sympathy and condolence,' he said in his address. 'My grandmother once said that grief is the price we pay for love. Here today, we love and we grieve,' he added. William said he had been deeply moved by what he had seen during his visit to Christchurch. With the 'heartfelt good wishes' of the Queen, her son Prince Charles, the first in line to the throne, 'and other members of my family, I say it to you kia kaha, be strong,' William said, using an indigenous Maori term. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker also noted Japan’s crisis in their remarks at the memorial. The service was attended by Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and ambassadors of several countries. A video played on large screens showed previously unseen footage of the devastated downtown area which remains off limits due to the risk of building collapses.


Yes, I think Prince William of Wales represents the British Royal Family very well … very well, indeed. It’s easy to discount the loss and devastation of those suffering on the other side of the planet — especially in the wake of even more loss, devastation and tragedy in other parts of the world — but I think it is important to honor the memory of anyone lost due to tragic events like the earthquake in Christchurch. Prince William is a fine representative for not only the Royal Family but also for those of us mourning the loss of people we don’t even know who have fallen to natural disasters like this. This is a great speech and a very honorable way to memorialize the lives lost in New Zealand.

James Franco Does ‘Vogue Hommes International’ Magazine

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 10:24 AM PDT

Earlier this month we got to check out a series of photographs of James Franco shot by famed photographer Terry Richardson … and today we get to see a new set of Franco photos shot by Richardson. James is featured on the Spring/Summer 2011 issue of Vogue Hommes International magazine and the spread was shot by Terry. Check out the magazine cover and photospread below.


Some of the photos below are pretty sweet (i.e. the shower photo, the hamburger photo, the fist on the chin photo) but the others are just meh. But, even as cool as these photos are, they still aren’t as cool, interesting or puzzling as the photo that James Franco shared of his …. whatever … on his official Twitter profile earlier this week. I’m still not sure what exactly we’re seeing in that photo. As for this collection of photos, which is your fave? Are you loving these photos or are you suffering Franco fatigue?

Sarah Michelle Gellar Starts Filming Her New TV Series ‘The Ringer’

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 10:05 AM PDT

Back in January we learned the AMAZING news that Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning to TV this Fall in a new series titled The Ringer. Described as “an edgy thriller about redemption and about revenge”, The Ringer will be SMG‘s first TV series since the end of Buffy back in 2003. Today we learn that filming production has begun on the show and we get to see a couple photos of working mom SMG and daughter Charlotte Grace on the set of The Ringer.

Since becoming a first-time mother, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has taken a step back from the spotlight. But as she prepares to return to the small-screen in new TV show The Ringer, it looks like the strain of balancing motherhood and work is starting to show. The former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star, 33, looked tired as she carried her 18-month-old daughter Charlotte on location in New York yesterday. With her hair tied back, Gellar looked cosy in a grey cardigan, jeggings and Ugg boots, while her daughter was dressed in a similar combination of clothes. Perhaps feeling the strain of long filming days and looking after a toddler, the actress understandably looked far from her usual bubbly self. New CBS show The Ringer stars Gellar as a troubled woman on the run who is living the life of her richer twin sister. Gellar’s casting in The Ringer comes two years after her last film role Veronika Decides To Die, which was released in some European countries. However, it is believed the film – adapted from Paulo Coelho’s novel of the same name – will be released in the U.S. this year. But things take a sinister turn when she find out her sibling’s life also has a bounty on it. Although she lives in California with actor husband Freddie Prinze Jnr, Gellar has temporarily relocated to Manhattan for her new TV role.

Tired or not, SMG looks FABULOUS! I am SOOOO excited that she will be returning to TV this Fall, I can’t even tell you. It’s been far too long since we’ve gotten a serious SMG fix so, yeah, I am really looking forward to the premiere of The Ringer. Now that we know that filming production has begun on the show, I hope we can look forward to more fun photos from the set. Wee!!

Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson Rendezvous In NYC

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 09:07 AM PDT

Just days after Lindsay Lohan was released from rehab back in January, she was seen in the close company of ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson on a dinner date in Venice, CA (where both ladies live as next door neighbors). In February, Lindsay and Samantha were spotted again making a hasty exit in the wee hours of the morning from the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, CA. It’s March, so L. Ron is due for another “hang out” session … and “hang out” they did in NYC, NY yesterday afternoon.


You may recall that earlier this week we learned that Lindsay made her way back East to NYC to spend some time with her mother at the Lohan family home and wouldn’t you know it … Samantha just happened to be in NYC at the very same time yesterday. Now, it’s very possible that the ladies have remained good friends and they really are just hangin’ out as buds … but it’s also just as likely that L. Ron are back together again romantically. I have to say, at least Lindsay seems to have some happiness going on in her life right now. With another jail sentence hanging over her head, it’s nice that she can get away from it all and forget her trubs for a bit by spending time with an old flame.

Robert Pattinson Does British ‘Playgirl’ Magazine

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 08:29 AM PDT

Great news, Robert Pattinson fans … your main man is featured on the cover of the debut issue of British Playgirl magazine. Playgirl here in the US, as you may know, features nude men pictorials and was created an answer to Playboy magazine (which features nude women pictorials). The bad news is that R. Pattz is NOT featured nude in the magazine … but, apparently, there is a wicked cool article about him. Check out Rob‘s Playgirl cover below and read all about this new UK version of Playgirl magazine.

Issue 1 – Welcome to the very first issue of Playgirl, the UK ‘s hottest women’s magazine. Forget what you think you know about Playgirl; we’ve come a long way from our roots, and this UK edition is a marked departure from our foreign stable mates. Every month in Playgirl, you’ll find the best entertainment for women that money can buy, from the hottest Brits on the box or in the movies to Hollywood hunks and real, true life stories. Our fashion team have been trawling High Streets across the country in search of the best looks, and our resident experts are here to make your life a little easier. Of course, I couldn’t really go any further without mentioning our men! Yes, every issue will feature the coolest hunks we can lay our hands on, and we’re delighted to share them with you each and every month. But remember, we have to release them all back into the wild every month, so don’t get too attached!

LOL!! What better way to get the attention of magazine buyers than to put Robert Pattinson on your cover. Because everyone knows what kind of magazine Playgirl is, the assumption will be that Robert Pattinson is nekkid in the mag. Brilliant. But, I gotta say, if a potential consumer (either female or male) is interested in nekkid photos of R. Pattz, they are prolly interested in nekkid photos of other men as well so … I’m guessing Playgirl may sell well in the UK. What do y’all think? Do YOU plan to pick up this issue of Playgirl magazine?

Billy Ray Cyrus Calls Off Divorce From Wife Leticia ‘Tish’ Cyrus

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 08:09 AM PDT

Back in October we learned the somewhat surprising news that Billy Ray Cyrus and wife Leticia Tish Cyrus, parents of popstar/actress Miley Cyrus, decided to split and end their marriage. At the time, there were rumors going around that the split was caused by an alleged affair between Tish and rocker Bret Michaels (tho, both parties have denied the affair). After a bit of back and forth feuding in the media, we learn today that plans for a divorce between the couple have been called off … Billy Ray has filed to end the divorce proceedings because the couple are working to reconcile.

Billy Ray Cyrus just made it official, by filing documents — obtained by TMZ — to withdraw his divorce petition so he can try to save his marriage. Billy Ray filed the docs in Williamson County, Tennessee, stating, “The parties are attempting a reconciliation.” Billy Ray has been saying Miley Cyrus’ fame compromised their family. Billy Ray and Tish have been seen out together over the last few weeks. The petition to withdraw the divorce was filed March 11 … and the judge signed the order withdrawing the divorce papers.

Aww … well this is nice. I may not be any kind of Cyrus fan but I am glad to hear that Billy Ray and Tish are working to repair their marriage. It’s always a sad thing when a couple finds out that they are no longer in love but it’s a very heartening thing to hear that a couple is mature enough to work thru their difficulties and repair a damaged relationship. It’s unclear at this point if the couple will be successful in the long run but I, for one, am rooting for their successful reconciliation.

First Look: Photos From The Set Of Britney Spears’s New Music Video ‘Till The World Ends’

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:26 AM PDT

Earlier this week we learned that Britney Spears is planning to release a music video for her second single Till the World Ends on April 6 and today we learn that yesterday was Day 1 of the music video shoot. A photo from the set made its way to Twitter and was followed by a photo tweeted of Britney by Britney herself on her official Twitter profile. Additionally, we get to see the final album art and packaging for Britney‘s new album Femme Fatale which is due out in a little over a week’s time. Check out all the photos below.

Here’s a pic of army-themed dancers for the @britneyspears music video

As you can see, the dancers are dressed in green camouflage gear, which hints that the Till the World Ends music video may be military-themed. Here is the photo that Britney tweeted herself:

Day 1 of the #TTWE Videoshoot. Just wrapped my first big dance number. Taking a well deserved break people! -Brit

LOVE IT!! Check out that amazing leather jacket … she looks hot in this outfit. I cannot wait to see Britney in action in this video. April 6 is about 3 weeks away so filming on the video should be wrapped by the end of the weekend and then it can go into production. Wee!!

With just a little over a week left until the album’s release, today we are getting our first look at the album packaging for the standard edition of Femme Fatale:


Unlike the deluxe version of Fatale, which will include a hardcover book and other bonus goodies (including 4 or 5 bonus songs), this standard edition will be released in a simple slipcase. Here is a new promo image of Britney from the album art:


The font of Britney Spearsness is starting to overflow and heap amazingness on all of us … and I am LOVING it!! I hope we get to see more photos from the TTWE video shoot … and I also hope we don’t get tortured with weeks of video snippets — one good teaser clip will be fine. Let’s keep our eyes peeled for more Britney goodies to come.
