‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ Suffers Another Mid-Show Injury Posted: 20 Dec 2010 09:15 PM PST Last Friday it was announced that the embattled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was pushing back (again) its official opening date to February 7, 2011 so that they could hammer out their on-going technical difficulties and today we learn more troubling news about the show. During tonight’s performance of the show, an actor fell 20 feet to the ground after the cable he was attached to either broke or became detached. The show had to be ended early so that emergency medical technicians could be brought in to treat the injured actor.
This show cannot last much longer … I mean, there’s no way. With a whopping $65 million dollar price tag, Spider-Man has to sell enough tickets to sell out every single performance for the next 4 years just to break even. If you consider how many injuries keep occurring in this show — which is still in previews, btw — you have to wonder how long producers will continue to let the show continue to flail. I’m convinced the injuries will continue to happen … in front of hundreds of audience members. The technical aspects of the show seem just too … shall we say, ambitious … for things to run smoothly for very long. I can’t imagine the sight of an actor falling 20 feet to the ground, followed by horrid screams from audience members will do much to sell tickets for the show … then again, there are a lot of folks that like the macabre. I still deffo want to see this show (and no, not because I want to see people be injured) but it really seems less and less likely that it will run long enough for me to do so. How many more injuries can the show take before they decide to pull the plug? [Source] |
Michael C. Hall Answers Twitter-Submitted Fan Questions Posted: 20 Dec 2010 08:22 PM PST The currently divorcing Michael C. Hall paid a visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and he hung around for a bit after the show so that he could answer a few questions for a Late Night: Back Stage interview. The questions that MCH tackled were submitted to the official Twitter profile for Late Night and they covered topics about Dexter but also about MCH‘s life outside of the show.
Honestly, there is nothing that MCH couldn’t handle … and handle well … even if he ever does decide to take up rapping. It’s interviews like this that just show how lovable and cool the guy can be, despite the cold demeanor he portrays when he is Dexter Morgan. I love this interview, I really love Michael C. Hall.

David Beckham Gets Tattooed Again! Posted: 20 Dec 2010 02:53 PM PST David Beckham, the BBC Sports Personality Lifetime Achievement Award recipient for 2010, recently updated his official Facebook profile with a new photo and a short message about his newest piece of body art. Becks, an avid tattoo fan, got himself a new tattoo inked on his chest and according to the man himself, it took 6 hours to get ‘er done!
It seems logical that this new tattoo, very likely another tribute to his family, has something to do with the Lifetime Achievement award he picked up in Birmingham, England last night. Becks does like to memorialize major life milestones in the body art get gets inked onto his body so that’d be my guess. I suppose we’re gonna hafta wait until Becks is shirtlessly running around on the soccer field or mebbe in an ad campaign to find out what exactly he got inked on his chest. Fortunately for us, Becks doesn’t tend to go long periods in between bouts of public shirtlessness. I can’t wait to see what his new tattoo looks like, can you? |

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 01:51 PM PST Paris Hilton, who spent part of her weekend in Madrid, Spain for the launch of her very own MotoGP motorcycle racing team (seriously), made her way back to Las Vegas, NV last Friday to serve some of the 200 hours of Community Service she must complete as part of the sentence for her September conviction on cocaine possession charges. Paris served some of her hours at The Animal Foundation … and ended up adopting a new pet pooch in the process.
I gotta admit … Paris might actually do a bit of good this time around. If Paris inspires just one person to adopt a pet rather than buy one, she will deffo be making a positive impact on the community. As you may recall, we saw photos last month of Paris painting over graffiti here in SoCal as part of her Community Service hours … but this seems more significant. To be honest, I lost count long ago of all the pets that Paris Hilton owns … but, thankfully, she is wealthy enough to ensure that they are all taken care of and treated very, very well. I’m not usually a big fan of many of the things that Paris does but this … I like. What do y’all think … do you approve of the way she is handling her Community Service thus far?

Hugh Jackman Takes Up Gardening Posted: 20 Dec 2010 01:21 PM PST Yesterday we saw photos of Hugh Jackman running out to pick up a couple cases of bottled beer for a BBQ that he was having back home down under in Australia. Today we get to see new photos of Hugh running an errand of a different sort the following day. Apparently, Hugh Jackman as taken up … gardening.

Lindsay Lohan Throws A Party At The Betty Ford Center Posted: 20 Dec 2010 12:53 PM PST And Lindsay Lohan has been doing so well in the last couple of months. According to TMZ, Lindsay (who recently moved to a new Sober Living residence at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA) thought it would be a great idea to throw a party for some fellow friends in rehab … and wouldn’t you know it, there was drinking involved! The folks at Betty Ford found out and everyone got busted … included our dear Lindsay.
TMZ also reports that Lindsay was spotted at a bar on the night of this party but they could not confirm and reiterate that there is no proof that Lindsay was drinking at all. Still, throwing a party like this flies in the face of what rehab is all about so it’s no surprise the Betty Ford folks are p-oed. I understand that Dina Lohan is bringing Xmas to Lindsay and that the entire family is flying to SoCal to spend the holiday with her in rehab. I’m sure it’s very common for folks in rehab to slip up like this but I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone thought that having a party with alcohol was something they could get away with.

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 12:14 PM PST So … the new layout. No one knows better than I do how much of a change this new layout on Pink is the new Blog is but I really like it and I hope all y’all do, too. A couple of years ago, I changed formats from an archaic one-post-per-day format to the more standard individual/numerous blogposts per day. Now I’m venturing forth in this new format that I’m hoping will offer more interactive content on a daily basis …

David Beckham Reduces Victoria Beckham To Tears Posted: 20 Dec 2010 10:09 AM PST Yesterday we learned that LA Galaxy soccer player and international sports superstar David Beckham was honored by BBC Sports in Birmingham, England with the Personality Lifetime Achievement Award presented to him last night. Today we get to see a few photos and video from the awards show of Becks collecting his award … and of Victoria Beckham uncharacteristically showing LOTS of emotion on camera.
Aww … isn’t this so precious? So either Vicki B. sprung a leak in her robotic eye sockets or she just proved to the world that she is human after all. You will remember that she looked her usual glum self in the red carpet photo we saw of her yesterday … this sight of her showing emotion and actually crying is just … so sweet. Here is video of Becks delivering the acceptance speech last night that got VB all teared up: Love it!! As I said yesterday, the true measure of David Beckham‘s lifetime achievement can be seen in his beautiful family … and in the love they have for one another. Much love and congrats, again, goes out to David Beckham on this latest award. And love goes to VB for showing us just how soft and emotional she can be sometimes ;) [Source] |
Shania Twain & Frédéric Thiébaud Are Gettin’ Hitched! Posted: 20 Dec 2010 09:38 AM PST Back in May 2008 we learned the sad news that Shania Twain and hubby Mutt Lange decided to end their marriage (because of his infidelity). In June of 2009, Shania broke her silence about her split from Mutt in a personal letter she wrote to fans. In June of this year, her divorce from Lange was final … and today, we are hearing that Shania has gotten herself engaged to be married to her new man Frédéric Thiébaud.
Wow … that is A LOT of stuff goin’ on with Shania Twain. The whole real life wife swap thing is just so … weird. Still, I’m happy to know that Shania has found love again with Frédéric … but, if the couples remarry in this way poor Eja will learn one day that his step-parents were previously married and that his step-mother is the cause of his parent’s divorce. Ugh. While I would REALLY like Shania to get back to the biz of making music again, I’m glad to know that she seems to have gotten her life back on track again personally and professionally. Let’s send our heartiest congrats to Shania and Frédéric on their reported engagement! [Source] |

And The Winner Of ‘Survivor: Nicaragua’ Is . . . Posted: 20 Dec 2010 07:40 AM PST And so … another season of Survivor has come to an end and another ultimate Survivor has been chosen. In case you have yet to watch last night’s ep and you wish to remain unspoiled, you might want to stay away from the Internets until you do so. For the rest of us, let’s get down to discussin’ who was voted the winner of Survivor: Nicaragua lat night … Going into the finale episode that aired last night, the final 5 contestants left were Dan Lembo, Holly Hoffman, Sash aka Matthew Lenahan, Chase Rice and Fabio aka Judson Birza … then Dan got voted off … then Holly … and then there were 3:
In the end … Fabio managed to win the whole shebang … and $1 million dollars:
Not only did Fabio do himself a lot of favors by winning the final immunity challenges but his answers during the jury questioning really helped his case … he only beat Chase by 1 vote to win the million bucks. I didn’t LOVE this season of Survivor but it was entertaining. In the end, I really didn’t care who won, to be honest. I’m glad that Fabio was able to sneak in there and win the whole thing but I would’ve been just as happy if Chase had managed to win instead. What I was really surprised by was the fact that Fabio was VERY OBVIOUSLY on something during the live reunion special. His glassy eyes were a tip-off that he was high on … something. Then, when he tried to give answers to questions … I was sure the guy was either baked or trippin’. It was clear that Survivor producers also believed him to be out of it because after Jeff Probst asked him a few questions in the beginning (and after he gave nonsense answers), they NEVER let Fabio speak again for the rest of the reunion special. Never in Survivor history have they ignored and NOT let the winner talk on the reunion special. Now that he’s got a million bucks, I can only imagine what Fabio plans to spend all that GREEN on. Oh and Jane Hammett-Bright won the fan favorite award of $100,000 … which was well-deserved, I think. But, yeah, as I said … this season of Survivor was fun to watch but … it wasn’t really all that exciting. Did you watch? Are you happy with this season’s winner? |
