| Confirmed: Ashton Kutcher Will Replace Charlie Sheen On ‘Two And A Half Men’ Posted: 13 May 2011 12:00 AM PDT Plans for the reboot of Two and a Half Men are officially a go! The Hollywood Reporter is confirming that Ashton Kutcher has been hired by Warner Bros. and CBS to replace Charlie Sheen on the upcoming new season of the show. Earlier this week, it was reported that Hugh Grant was up for the role but negotiations fell thru at the last minute. Ashton‘s casting may come as a surprise to most because his name has not been tossed around in the weeks since it was decided that Sheen would not be coming back. Read on for all the deets about Ashton‘s new gig on Men.
Wow. Kutcher‘s return to TV is bound to get attention. To be honest, I think Hugh Grant would be a much better fit for the show age-wise but only because I feel that Ashton skews really young … but maybe that’s the point. I’m not a fan of the show so I can’t venture a guess as to how fan’s will react to this news. That being said, I’m very curious to see how this turns out. What do y’all think about this casting news? Is Ashton the right man for the Two and a Half Men starring gig? Will you watch the show with him in it? [Source] |
| Joseph Gilgun Has Joined The Cast Of The UK TV Series ‘Misfits’ Posted: 12 May 2011 05:30 PM PDT Last month we learned the surprising and upsetting news that actor Robert Sheehan will NOT return for the third season of the brilliant UK series Misfits. Today we not only learn who will replace Sheehan on the show but we also get our first look at the new castmember on the set with his new Misfits compatriots. Joseph Gilgun has been hired to replace Sheehan on the Misfits … he will play a character named Rudy. Click below to see a photo of Gilgun on the set of Misfits and read some new deets about the upcoming season which is filming now.
I realize that many of you US readers have no idea what I’m talking about but trust me, if you can seek out and watch Misfits you will love the show as much as I do. I blogged about my new love for the UK series Misfits back in January … so any news of the upcoming new season is very exciting for me. I was VERY BUMMED to hear that Robert Sheehan was leaving the show but I’m really hopeful that Joseph Gilgun will make a suitable replacement. The photo of the cast on set above was shared by Lauren Socha on Twitter, who plays Kelly on Misfits. Trust me, if you don’t know Misfits … seek it out and watch. It’s a brilliant show. And let’s all stay tuned to see how season 3 of the show turns out without Sheehan and with Gilgun. |
| Eva Longoria & Eduardo Cruz Frolic Together In Miami Posted: 12 May 2011 04:30 PM PDT Last month, Eva Longoria and her new loverman Eduardo Cruz made their way to Mexico for a romantic getaway. This month, the pair have taken their globetrotting tryst to Miami, FL. Eva and Eduardo have been spotted this week enjoying all the fun that Miami has to offer. As you can see in the photos below, it really looks like they’ve been having a blast … which means for Eduardo, wearing as little clothing as possible.

| Jake Shears Of Scissor Sisters Shows Off His New Jockstrap Posted: 12 May 2011 03:30 PM PDT Jake Shears, frontman of the band Scissor Sisters, was the happy recipient of a box of unmentionables from a company called Nasty Pig that manufactures, among other things, undergarments. He was so happy with his package that he decided to model a jockstrap and post photos of his wares on his official Twitter profile. Very obvs, the photos are NSFW as they give a clear view of his Jake‘s bare buttocks … but for those of you who might be interested, click below to see Jake happily modeling his new gift from Nasty Pig.
See, this is EXACTLY what I love about Jake Shears. I mean, yes he’s hot but I really love his free spirit and willingness to share. How many of YOU would be so willing to share underwear photos with the world? Not many, I’d wager. In any event … I think we owe a huge thanks to Mr. Shears for being so generous with his personal pics! And thanks to Nasty Pig for supplying him with this fetching new jockstrap. |
| Watch: A 1-Minute Scene From ‘X-Men: First Class’ Has Been Released Posted: 12 May 2011 02:30 PM PDT Late last month, X-Men: First Class released a full-length trailer … but today we get to see a full minute clip from the film itself. Altho we are only weeks away from the film’s release, I know I am getting VERY anxious about seeing the film. Everything I’ve seen thus far leads me to believe that this X-Men film may be the best of the bunch. Click below to watch a scene from the film where Charles Xavier tries to convince the US government that mutants exist. Well, they wanted proof … they got proof. I cannot WAIT to see this film. Do you love this clip or what? Woot!! [Source] |
| The District 2 Tributes Have Been Cast In ‘The Hunger Games’ Posted: 12 May 2011 01:43 PM PDT At last … the final pair of tributes have been cast in the upcoming big screen adaptation of The Hunger Games. The District 2 boy tribute Cato will be played by Alexander Ludwig and the girl tribute Clove will be played by Isabelle Fuhrman. It was widely assumed that Cato and Clove might be played by better-known actors (Max Adler from Glee has been unofficially vying for the role of Cato) but instead, the parts went to these two lesser-known actors. That being said, you may recognize one or both of these actors from their previous work. Click below to learn more about the actors that will bring Cato and Clove to live in The Hunger Games film.
Love this casting! I was so impressed with Isabelle‘s work in The Orphan … that movie totally blew my mind. She was just excellent in her role in that film. I don’t know Alexander but he looks much more handsome than I envisioned the character to be. Cato, in my mind, was a muscular and hulking figure … I guess we’ll have to see if Alex here will get beefed up for the role. And there we have it … all of the tributes have been cast for The Hunger Games:

| Prince Rocks The Troubadour ALL NIGHT LONG Posted: 12 May 2011 01:11 PM PDT Yesterday afternoon, seemingly out of nowhere, The Troubadour announced that Prince would be playing two last minute shows in their tiny club Wednesday night. With almost no warning, tickets went immediately onsale for an early 7pm show and a late 11pm show. Because I am totally crazy, I jumped at the chance to get a ticket for the 11pm show … and then had enough time to get a ticket for the 7pm show as well. It turns out that my friend David Russell and his friend Chris were also attending the 7pm show so we met up at the Troubadour to begin what turned out to be one of the most amazing nights of live music I’ve ever seen. This is the message that the Troubadour sent out yesterday announcing the 2 Prince shows:
Power Fantastic and A Case of U were my faves but the show vibe of the show was just chill and cool as Hell. It was during this first show that I was closest to Prince. I was not 5 feet from the man all night. You could tell, it took a while for him to warm up to being so close to the audience. But once he did warm up, he was playful and joking with the crowd all night long. The second show, damn, now that one was worth the price of both admissions all in one. While the first show was slow and jammy, the second show was LOUD, fast and really rocking. Prince came out and said, “I hope you are ready for some rock and roll” and he blasted his guitar from that track all the way until the final encore at 2:30am! It was more difficult to sneak photos for the second set but here are the few I managed to snap along with the setlist:
I mean … what can I say about this setlist? Legendary comes to mind. To be able to see Prince rock out to these songs in such an intimate setting … I am truly blessed. I kept trying to remember to be in the moment, to relish what I was experiencing because it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Before the second show started, I got to meet Glee‘s Darren Criss (who was really very sweet and so nice) but all I really could focus on was Prince on stage. After the show, I got to meet Prince‘s #1 female vocalist Shelby J. and was able to tell her how much I love her performances. She took my hands into her hands and thanked me … it was just the most amazing night of live music EVER! There were moments when Prince would use his guitar to “battle” with Mike Phillips on the saxophone that just BLEW my mind! It was unlike anything I’ve EVER seen before. I’m telling you, I could go on and on and on about all the tiny nuances of last night’s shows but I’ll never be able to convey what it was like to be in the presence of such awesome musicianship. I am SO excited for the rest of the Forum shows that Prince still has yet to perform in the coming days and weeks but I know, nothing will ever compare to being able to experience the shows I got to see last night. I am a very lucky man. Plans for tonight? Sleep. I have to make up for the sleep I did NOT get last night. Ahhh … what sweet dreams I’ll have :) |

| The ‘Jersey Shore’ Ladies Leave For Italy To Film Season 4 Posted: 12 May 2011 11:37 AM PDT Last week we saw photos of the Jersey Shore guys with packed bags in hand making their way thru the airport presumably on their way to Italy to film the upcoming 4th season of the show. Today, courtesy of TMZ, we get to see a new photo of the ladies and their packed bags at Newark Airport bound for Italy as well. As you can see in the photo below, Nicole Snooki Polizzi, Dina Deena Nicole Cortese and Jenni Jwoww Farley made sure to pack the tackiest/ugliest luggage they could find for the trip … naturally.
Ugh … I guess this Italian season of Jersey Shore is really gonna happen. Again, my sincerest apologies to the people of Italy … please know that these JS jokers do NOT represent all of America and they should be treated as the buffoons they are. MTV‘s Jersey Shore has already become a parody of itself so please do not take anything that they do or say in your country with any seriousness at all. That being said, if the fine people of Italy would like to keep the entire Jersey Shore cast — FOREVER — we would all be much obliged ;) [Source] |
| Jared Leto Poses For Terry Richardson On The Streets Of NYC Posted: 12 May 2011 11:20 AM PDT Back in March we got to see new photos of actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto posing in a series of photos for his BFF Terry Richardson. Today we get to see a new batch of photos of Jared by Terry. This time around, Terry shot Jared on the streets of NYC and altho the pics aren’t anything too special, they are kinda worth seeing because they do feature Leto and his hotness.

| Mos Def Will Guest Star On ‘Dexter’ Season 6 Posted: 12 May 2011 11:04 AM PDT Singer turned actor Mos Def (who is, apparently, going only by Mos these days even tho pretty much everyone will continue to call him Mos Def despite his real name being Dante Terrell Smith) has just been announced as the newest guest castmember on the upcoming 6th season of Dexter. As you may recall, we learned earlier this week that Colin Hanks will feature on the show and now we know Mos Def will as well. According to the press release announcement, Mos Def will pay an ex-con named Brother Sam who is described as “a hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion, yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence”. HMMM. Does that sound like a good guy or a bad guy to you?
I love Mos Def, most definitely. I’m very intrigued by the description of his character on the show … even tho it gives us an understanding of the role he’ll play, we have absolutely NO idea whatsoever how that role will impact Dexter. The obvious belief is that Colin Hanks will play the season 6 villain … but it’s possible that a hardened ex-con turned religious fanatic might be a villain himself. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how things turn out when the new season of Dexter premieres this Fall on Showtime. Any Mos Def fans out there? What do y’all think of his casting? [Source] |
| Britney Spears Hosts A Dinner Party To Raise Funds For Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts Posted: 12 May 2011 10:18 AM PDT Earlier this month we learned that our dear Britney Spears would be taking a night off from her furious rehearsals for the upcoming Femme Fatale Tour (due to kick off in just a few weeks) to host an event called An Evening of Southern Style to benefit the St. Bernard Project which continues to help Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Britney looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING at last night’s event and she was joined by her loverman Jason Trawick as well as a host of other celebs who showed up to offer their support. Click below to check out photos and deets from last night’s lavish fund-raising event.
By all accounts, it sounds it was a fab event … for a very good cause … with one hot-lookin’ ambassador hostess :) [Photo credit: Wireimage; Source, Source] |
| Oprah Winfrey Gets A Chicago Street Named After Her Posted: 12 May 2011 09:24 AM PDT Oprah Winfrey, the woman who literally has it all, was honored in her adopted hometown of Chicago, IL by outgoing mayor Richard Daley with a street named in her honor. The street directly in front of Oprah‘s Harpo Studios in Chicago has been renamed as Oprah Winfrey Way in honor of her 25 successful years in the Windy City. Oprah happily appeared at the ceremony yesterday where her street name was unveiled, check out some photos and some deets about this honor below.
I mean … Oprah has countless awards, massive amounts of money, her OWN television network … why not add a street to her collection of accomplishments. I can’t say that I’m at all surprised that Oprah got her own street name … in fact, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the entire city of Chicago were renamed after her. There is no doubt, Oprah Winfrey has enjoyed HUGE success in Chicago and she has shared much of her success with the city that has been so good to her. After 25 years in the biz there, it totally makes sense that Chicago, IL is now home to Oprah Winfrey Way. [Source] |
| Hayden Panettiere & Wladmir Klitschko Are Dunzo! Posted: 12 May 2011 08:45 AM PDT Sadly, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli aren’t the only celebrity couple calling it quits this week … actress Hayden Panettiere and her ginormous boyfriend Wladmir Klitschko have also decided to end their relationship. Altho the couple have only been together for about 2 years, everything seemed peachy keen in their relationship. Unfortch, it just wasn’t meant to be. Hayden and Wladmir are dunzo!
It’s a shame that distance is what is being blamed for this split but I guess when you have a guy that tall with a girl that short … distance is bound to be a problem. To be honest, if I were to guess the reason for the break-up, I’d go with Hayden‘s haircut. I love the girl, I really do … but I really do not like her short hair. It was the scariest thing in all of Scream 4. Unlike Leo and Bar‘s break-up, this split doesn’t seem so serious. The couple had only been together for about 2 years … she’s young, he’s giant … they’ll each find new love soon. [Source] |
| Leonardo DiCaprio & Bar Refaeli Are Dunzo, For Good! Posted: 12 May 2011 08:15 AM PDT Actor Leonarod DiCaprio and his longtime supermodel girlfriend Bar Refaeli have decided to end their relationship. The couple have been together for the better part of 5 years (except for that 6 month break they took apart a few years ago) and it was widely believed that Leo and Bar would end up saying I Do eventually. Apparently a marriage was not meant to be because clearly the couple couldn’t make a serious go of it. Leo and Bar are dunzo, y’all!
HMMM … even tho many people thought these two would get married, I was never convinced. Leonardo DiCaprio does not strike me as the kind of guy who is likely to take a wife. He does not seem like husband material to me. If I had to make a wild assumption and guess what caused the split, I’d have to say that Bar prolly wanted to get married and Leo did not. Perhaps Bar wanted to start a family and Leo did not. Of course, I have no way of knowing for sure … but I can see Leonardo DiCaprio as a lifelong bachelor. It’s a shame that the couple couldn’t make their relationship work but, in the end, it’s prolly for the best that the couple split up now. [Source] |
