Watch: ‘Torchwood: Miracle Day’ Releases New Video Footage Posted: 23 May 2011 06:30 PM PDT Early last month we got to see a very short, not at all exciting teaser trailer for the upcoming new season of Torchwood called Miracle Day (set to debut on Starz in July). Today we get to see more substantial video footage of the show, courtesy of Access Hollywood. I suppose the footage could be called a trailer and it is a MUST see! Not only do we get action but we also get to see Torchwood characters — new and old! Check out the video below. Wowowowowow!! LOVE this!! I am so excited that Torchwood is back … and HERE in the US :D I have a feeling that this new season of Torchwood is going to be nothing short of AWESOME. Doesn’t this video look great? I love it!! What do you think? [Source] |
‘X-Men: First Class’ Releases A Whole Bunch Of International Posters Posted: 23 May 2011 05:30 PM PDT Last month we got to see a really cool poster for X-Men: First Class … which was a sight for sore eyes considering some of the really bad poster artwork that has been released for the prequel film (due out next month). Today we get to see a whole slew of new international posters and, sadly, they’re pretty terrible. For some reason, these poorly Photoshopped posters keep getting released … which I don’t think are doing promo for the film any justice at all.

Watch: NBC Releases An Unaired Justin Timberlake Skit From ‘Saturday Night Live’ Posted: 23 May 2011 04:30 PM PDT Justin Timberlake hosted the season finale episode of Saturday Night Live over the weekend and, for the most part, won praise for his pretty funny comic stylings. During the ep’s dress rehearsal, a skit was performed that did NOT make it to air during the network broadcast … which is a shame because the skit is actually very funny. Fortunately, NBC released the unaired skit on Hulu so YOU can check it out in full below. LOL! This is a great skit … it’s a bummer it got cut. Personally, I think this skit should’ve aired on Saturday night and the stupid Secret Word skit should’ve gotten cut. I love all the self-referential jokes … I think it’s a very cute skit. What do you think? [Source] |
‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2′ Releases A Second Poster Posted: 23 May 2011 03:30 PM PDT Last month we got to check out the first official movie poster for the very last Harry Potter film, due out in theaters next month. Today we get to check out the second poster release for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 which features a battle-worn Harry looking very much worse for the wear. With the tagline, IT ALL ENDS, Warner Bros. wants you to be well aware that this is THE END.
Oh man … OH MAN … the end is SO near! I suspect we’ll be seeing posters of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley as well as other HP characters. This is a great poster. I am SO dreading the end of Harry Potter but, woo, I am loving the promo stuff we’ve been given thus far. [Source] |
First Look: Photos From The Set Of ‘The Hunger Games’ Set Hit The Internets Posted: 23 May 2011 02:30 PM PDT Over the weekend we learned that a city in North Carolina has been chosen as the set for the upcoming film adaptation of The Hunger Games. Today we get to see a whole SLEW of photos from Shelby, NC that show the sleepy town coming to life as District 12. The Shelby Star newspaper gained access to the set and managed to procure a bunch of great photos of things like Katniss Everdeen‘s house, Peeta Mellark‘s bakery and more. Check out these fun photos below.
Previously we heard that Hildebran, NC might be the site of the film but it now appears that Shelby, NC will become District 12. Now that the movie set secret is out, I expect others will make their way to the area in the hopes of catching a glimpse of filming. I would not be surprised if we spent the rest of the Summer seeing photos from the Hunger Games set … including the film’s stars in action. This first look at the set is really neat, I gotta say. I love that The Hunger Games is actually coming to life. |
Watch: ‘The Muppets’ Movie Releases A First Movie Trailer Posted: 23 May 2011 01:30 PM PDT Last week we got our first look at the first teaser trailer for the new film The Muppets, due out at Thanksgiving of this year, and today we get to check out the first movie trailer for the film. Those of you who saw Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and got to the theater early enough to watch the preview trailers prolly got to see this on the big screen this weekend. For the rest of you who have yet to see it (or just want to watch it again) you can check it out in full below. It’s a very cute, very clever trailer. You’re supposed to think it’s one kind of movie and then BAM! the Muppets show up and you realize that it’s actually a Muppets movie ;) I love this trailer … the movie looks so good! What do y’all think, Muppets fans? Are you excited? [Source] |
Posted: 23 May 2011 12:45 PM PDT Yesterday afternoon, David and I made our way to Las Vegas, NV for a couple of days primarily to see Kylie Minogue end her Aphrodite Live 2011 North American tour at the Colosseum inside Caesar’s Palace Hotel and Casino last night. We are staying at the absolutely FABULOUS Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and have been having the time of our lives. I”m not a big LV fan, but our accommodations have more than made up for my previous preconceived notions about Sin City.
After dinner, we made our way to the Colosseum to see Kylie perform her last tourstop of the North American version of her Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour:
I think we may keep things quiet tonight … we have one more night here at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to enjoy and I’m really looking forward to enjoying our new home away from home :D |

Stephen King Would Like Lindsay Lohan To Star In The Film Remake Of ‘Carrie’ Posted: 23 May 2011 11:13 AM PDT Last last week, author Stephen King spoke with Entertainment Weekly magazine about the talk going around about plans to remake the 1976 horror classic Carrie (based on his original novel). As you may know, Sissy Spacek played the role of Carrie in the classic original film but in new remarks to EW, King suggests that Lindsay Lohan might be the actress to play the new Carrie. Naturally, as soon as L. Lo found out she had King‘s endorsement, she reportedly got very interested in playing the role. Could it be? Could Lindsay Lohan become the new Carrie?
TMZ reports that Lindsay is very interested in playing the role, should it be offered to her:
I love Stephen King very much … I really love the Brian DiPalma-directed Carrie film … I am not only opposed to a remake but I’m really opposed to the idea of Lindsay playing the role. I honestly do not believe that any project with Lindsay Lohan in the lead role will be taken seriously … at all. The original film is so good, so damn good that I cannot see how any remake could outdo the original. This just sounds like a bad idea all the way around. Thankfully, I find it very hard to believe that Lindsay is even remotely close to getting a movie role like this so … that’s the one thing we can take to heart. |
First Listen: Alanis Morissette Releases A New Song Titled ‘Into A King’ Posted: 23 May 2011 10:48 AM PDT This month Alanis Morissette is celebrating her wedding anniversary with her husband Mario Souleye Treadway and in celebration, she is sharing a new song she penned for him for their anniversary titled Into A King. Earlier this month, a Happy Anniversary message appeared on Alanis‘s official website but yesterday, Into A King showed up on Alanis‘s official Soundcloud page. The song is beyond adorable … and is deffo worth checking out. Listen to it in full below.
You were a sweet amalgamation And out came depth Happy anniversary baby continued and softened us up and out comes fun Happy anniversary baby And how far have we come Happy anniversary baby And so, we'll trapse from paper through diamonds And out comes ever Happy anniversary baby OMG … this is SUCH a cute song! It really makes me yearn DESPERATELY for new Alanis music to be honest but it is a very sweet song for Mario, which I’m sure he greatly appreciates. I can’t even begin to imagine the songs she has written for the couple’s newborn son Ever Imre … but hopefully we’ll get to hear those songs soon … maybe on a new album? Lemme know what you think of the song … I really love it. Do you? [Source, thanks @AlanisNews] |
Watch: Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Kiss At The 2011 ‘Billboard Music Awards’ Posted: 23 May 2011 10:00 AM PDT Justin Bieber was among the people honored with awards at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards last night (6 awards in total) but it was a moment that occurred offstage (but on camera) that is getting all of the attention today. Bieber attended the awards show with his girlfriend Selena Gomez and when his name was announced as an award winner, he planted a big ol’ closed-mouth KISS on Selena on national television! You could hear all of the hearts of Bieber fans around the world breaking into a million pieces at that exact moment. Ah, young love.
And here is video of the Bieber/Gomez kiss heard ’round the world: So sweet, so innocent … so cute! Let’s not forget, tho, that Biebs and Selena first shared a smooch on Oscar Night back in February and then again locked lips at a press conference in Indonesia earlier this month (not to mention the countless bouts of spit-swapping that very likely occurs off camera and out of sight). But this Billboard Music Awards kiss is the most high-profile smooch to date. Let’s hope all those Bieber fans crushed by the sight of him kissing Selena can get thru this very rough time in their young lives. Oh and congrats to Biebs on his 6 Billboard Music Awards wins. |
Chicago Bulls Basketball Player Joakim Noah Hurls A Homophobic Slur On National TV Posted: 23 May 2011 09:21 AM PDT Last month, LA Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant was caught yelling a homophobic slur at an NBA referee which resulted in his being fined $100,000 by the NBA Basketball Commissioner. As a result of that infraction, Bryant and some of his Lakers teammates filmed an anti-bullying/tolerance PSA in an attempt to right Bryant‘s wrong. Last night, during the Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat playoffs game, Bulls player Joakim Noah was caught yelling the same homophobic slur on national TV … except in Noah‘s case, he yelled “fucking faggot” to a fan in the crowd. Noah immediately apologized for the slur after the game but it remains to be seen if he will be punished with the same $100,000. fine for the offense.
This kind of behavior is so disappointing. While I appreciate the immediate apology (and public admittance of wrongdoing), this kind of behavior shouldn’t even take place in the first place. All I can think of is the huge number of young and impressionable people out there who look up to these sports stars and see this kind of behavior. I cannot see how Joakim Noah will not be fined the same $100,000. penalty for this offense. I find it so sad that just plain outrageous that those tolerance PSAs were shown during a game where one of the star players got caught hurling homophobic slurs on camera. It really goes to show how far we have to go as a people towards acceptance of one another. It’s clear that this kind of outrageously offensive behavior still happens in sports but now that we are more watchful over sports players and their behavior, it’s likely that more and more athletes will be punished for these actions. At $100k a pop, I’m hoping that these athletes will be forced to learn their lesson. [Source, Source] |
Watch: Beyoncé Performs Run The World (Girls) At The 2011 ‘Billboard Music Awards’ Posted: 23 May 2011 08:50 AM PDT While Britney Spears made a couple of cameo performances with both Rihanna (at the start of the show) and Nicki Minaj (at the close of the show), Beyoncé performed all by herself last night at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. Well, technically that’s not true … she actually had about 100 kickass back-up dancers performing with her as well :) Bey performed her new single Run the World (Girls) after she was paid tribute to by a host of people … including her parents Tina & Matthew Knowles, U2 frontman Bono, First Lady Michelle Obama and more! Beyoncé also collected the Billboard Millennium Award so, yeah, it was a pretty sweet night for Miss B. Check out below photos and video from Beyoncé‘s performance last night.
Without question, Beyoncé delivered the most exciting, most entertaining performance of the night. The tribute to her was really amazing and it reminded me of how long she has been in the biz. Beyoncé has actually achieved so much success over the many years … I mean, let’s not forget the amazing Destiny’s Child years. I think it was very, very cool of Bey to thank ALL of the members of DC (well, except for Farrah Franklin but she don’t really count, to be honest). I always kinda roll my eyes when “Millennium” awards are handed out … but Beyoncé is deff deserving of many accolades and honors. She is an amazing performer — all around. Congrats and love goes out to Beyoncé on this latest achievement. Honestly, it is much deserved. What did y’all think of Beyoncé‘s performance last night? Did you love it?

Lady Gaga Sells Her Album ‘Born This Way’ For 99 Cents! Posted: 23 May 2011 08:03 AM PDT Lady Gaga, whose new album Born This Way is released for sale today here in the US, is offering for a limited time only the standard digital version of her album for $0.99 on Amazon. That’s right, the 14 song standard version of Born This Way can be purchased TODAY for less than $1.00. It’s unclear how long this blowout sale will last … but at $0.99, even the most casual fan or vaguely curious non-fan can’t really pass up buying this album for such a low, low price.

Watch: Britney Spears Performs With Rihanna & Nicki Minaj At The 2011 ‘Billboard Music Awards’ Posted: 23 May 2011 07:39 AM PDT After reports that Britney Spears would not be appearing at all at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, NV last night, we heard a rumor Saturday that our dear Britney would be a last-minute addition to the performance schedule of the show. Yesterday afternoon, we got a sneak peek of her performance when a rehearsal photo of Britney and Rihanna made it’s way to the Internets. Last night, Britney did appear on stage — not once but twice — with Rihanna (to open the show) and with upcoming tourmate Nicki Minaj (to close the show) in a pair of performance cameos for the songs S&M (Remix) and ‘Till the World Ends (… the Femme Fatale Remix). Check out photos and video of the performances below.
I enjoyed these performances because they are cute. They’re not life-changing, they’re not revolutionary … they’re fun. What do y’all think? I’m curious to hear all the different opinions on these performances. [Source, Source] |
