A Shirtless Tom Hardy Wigs Out On The Set Of His New Film

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 06:19 PM PST

Tom Hardy, star of Inception and star of the upcoming Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, is hard at work this week filming a new movie titled Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. New photos of a very shirtless and blonde-wigged Hardy have been made available by the Facebook page Tom Hardy Admirers Across Continents THAAC. If you are Tom Hardy fan, they are worth a look see.


Ugh … even with this horrid wig, Hardy looks fiiiiine, don’t he? As you may recall, late last month we saw photos of Tom getting that Union Jack flag tattooed on his chest … it looks like it fits in well with his other tats, wouldn’t you say? I gotta say, I really REALLY love how much Tom Hardy likes walking around sans shirt … it’s a good look for him … one that I hope he never tires of. Woot!!

Did Scarlett Johansson Really Dump Her Husband Ryan Reynolds?

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 02:04 PM PST

Not to beat a dead horse or anything but … a new report about the sad break-up of married couple Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds caught my eye because it claims that the reason the couple decided to split was because Scarlett was just over being married to Ryan. For the longest time, I’ve been trying to figure out why these beautiful people just couldn’t make their marriage work … and if this new report is to be believed, it’s because Ryan wasn’t interesting enough to keep ScarJo‘s attention.

The announcement that Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were splitting came as quite a surprise to the general public, and it was apparently something of a surprise to Reynolds, who hadn’t given up yet on the marriage. Describing him as “beyond sad and depressed,” a source tells Us Weekly that he “thought they could work it out, but Scarlett made it clear it was done. She was disconnected and unaffected. It was harsh.” The primary problem in the marriage was the couple’s distance; the two were almost constantly working on separate projects. “They went from speaking once every two days to once every two weeks,” said the source. A source that was on the set of Reynolds’ film “Green Lantern” said that Reynolds was open about the problems. “He would say she treated him badly. She was very focused on her own career, and it never seemed like she made him a priority,” said that source. That said, when the two split, they took equal responsibility, issuing a statement that said, “After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage.”

I’m **still** dumbfounded … but, if anything, this story (if true) makes it painfully clear that the rich and famous are just like the rest of us. If a hot, successful, rich, talented, funny and famous dude like Ryan Reynolds can’t keep his partner interested … then he must really be just like every other guy (or girl) who gets dumped by the person they love the most totally out of the blue. I’m not sure if this will be of any consolation to anyone out there who is going thru a sad break-up of their own … but it don’t matter how rich and famous you are … anyone can get dumped :(

The Prince William Wedding Toy Playset Is On The Way

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 01:28 PM PST

Remember that fun chinaware that commemorates the Royal Engagement of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton that we got to see yesterday? Well, today we get to check out a few more commemorative souvenir-type things that are being offered for sale in tribute to the Royal Wedding of Prince Wills and Kate … things like replica rings, British coins and supercute toy playsets.

Behold, the Happyland Royal Wedding Playset:

British toy store Early Learning Centre plan to sell a Royal Wedding toy set next year to mark the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Their ‘HappyLand Royal Wedding Set’ is set to go on sale in February 2011 and it costs £15.00 but is available to pre-order now. In its description on the ELC’s website, it says: “Prince William and Kate sit in a gold trimmed horse-drawn carriage while The Queen, Prince Phillip and their favourite Corgi are protected by a Royal Cavalry soldier in full uniform and a foot soldier wearing a smart red jacket and bearskin helmet” … The toy set is being aimed at children from 18 months to four years and it claims children will have ‘hours of fun’ playing wedding scenes with the toys.

OH.EM.GEE. This is the cutest thing ever … even Queen Elizabeth, II‘s beloved Welsh Corgi pooch is represented in this little toyset. LOL! I know *I* would have “hours of fun” playing wedding scenes with these toys … so cute! Click HERE to place your pre-order for this adorable playset. But, if toys aren’t up your alley, how about commemorative coins that feature the likeness of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth on one side and the likeness of Wills and Kate on the other side:

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s engagement photographs may have been airbrushed, but at least they bore a faithful resemblance. It’s a shame the same can’t be said for the special commemorative coin, released by the Royal Mint today to mark the occasion. The first ever struck to mark a royal engagement, the Alderney coin has a denomination of £5 and comes in its own presentation folder. But the badly executed image of the Royal couple, by the Royal Mint’s head of design Matthew Bonaccorsi, bears little likeness to either partner. In, perhaps, a clumsy attempt at flattery, Kate’s upper lip appears to have been plumped beyond recognition. Less kind is the broad neck the artist has given her, making her seem rather more masculine, and less slight than she is in reality. William is seen in profile, his head tactfully cropped to conceal his thinning hair, but unwittingly making a statement of his Adam’s apple, which appears to have been enlarged to match the size of his nose. Their heads are surrounded by a script reading: ‘Celebrating the engagement of William and Catherine’. It’s just as well the words are there, as the image alone would not be enough to reveal the identity of the couple.

OK … so mebbe the Royal couple don’t look very much like themselves but … at least the Queen looks as regal as ever. This is yet another Royal Wedding souvenir that I might have to get my hands on when they become available for purchase. And lastly, and certainly leastly, Pink reader Joanna gave me the head’s up that a replica ring based on the one that Prince William gave to Kate when he proposed (the very ring that his father Prince Charles gave to his mother Princess Diana when they got engaged) is NOW being offered for sale for the low, low price of $19.95:

On April 29, 2011, His Royal Highness Prince William, heir to the throne of England, will marry Miss Catherine Elizabeth Middleton at Westminster Abbey. Kate’s, story of an everyday girl meeting her Prince and one day becoming the Queen of England is a modern day fairytale come true. The ring betrothed to Kate Middleton is the same ring Princess Diana received as her engagement ring from Prince Charles nearly 30 years ago. In celebration of this historic event, you can now own the Royal Heirloom Ring, a limitededition replica of the timeless heirloom. The beautiful simulated “Ceylon” sapphire represents the original quality of the centerpiece and is surrounded by scintillating brilliant Diamond X-4 CZs and prong set in silver plate. It’s style; luster, color and cut are unsurpassed. Now, is your chance to share in the most anticipated wedding of the century. For a limited time, Sterlington Collections is making available this timeless collectors masterpiece. The original price was to be set at $119, but today it can be yours for just $19.90. Each ring is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and comes complete with a hinged decorative velveteen jeweler’s box. Due to the limited time offer restriction, there is a strict limit of just one order per household. We urge you to reserve yours now.

NOT only does this fabulous replica Royal Heirloom Ring come with a certificate of authenticity from the British Historical Society BUT it also comes with a “Velveteen Ring Box” … um, I’m sold!! I gotta say … as a collector of a great many things (things that David likes to call “crap”) I am TOTALLY diggin’ all of the Royal Wedding memorabilia being released/announced thus far. I can’t wait to see what else is on the way. Prince William boxer shorts? Kate Middleton vuvuzelas? Bring it on!!

So I gotta know … would any of y’all buy any of these fun souvenirs?

Movie Review: ‘The King’s Speech’

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 12:31 PM PST

Despite the still falling rain here in SoCal, David and I braved the wetness to get out of the house for a bit to get some fresh air and to see a movie. We decided to take a chance on one of the heavily-hyped Oscar movies of the new awards season and decided to see The King’s Speech (thus far nominated for multiple Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild Awards) starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. I am pleased to inform y’all that the Oscar hype is worth it … The King’s Speech is a stunningly fantastic film.


Without question, The King’s Speech is deffo one of those “Oscar films” where the acting, direction, cinematography, writing is top notch … and is the kind of film that is mostly lost on the common movie going audience. Elf, it is not. What it is is a poignant and triumphant story of a somewhat reluctant king who must overcome a speech impediment to properly carry out the duties required to lead a nation during a time of war. The King’s Speech is based on the life of British monarch Queen Elizabeth, II‘s father King George VI and his struggle to overcome a nasty studdering problem. To be honest, there are a lot of facts about the British monarchy of the early 1900s that I was not at all aware of (eg. King George VI‘s older brother abdicated the throne so that he could marry a twice-divorced American) and found wholly enlightening. But truly, the best thing about this film is the acting performances of the 3 main actors. Colin Firth is just amazing as is Geoffery Rush (who is *always* wonderful to watch on screen). Helena Bonham Carter, in a role that doesn’t require her to look like a bedraggled goth queen, also gives a stunning performance. The look and feel of the film, the way the colorful patterned backgrounds are used in almost every scene, make the film feel truly special. I know that The King’s Speech may look like a bore but if you appreciate fine acting, masterful storytelling and triumph of the will stories … I think you will love this movie as much as David and I did.

Watch: Behind The Scenes Video Of Jennifer Lopez’s New L’Oréal Commercial

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 11:11 AM PST

New American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez has been a L’Oréal Paris spokesmodel since the 1990′s but she has recently been elevated to the rank of global brand ambassador for the company. J. Lo got herself all dolled up for a new video shoot for L’Oréal in order to present to the world her new “Ever Sleek. Ever Smooth. Ever Beautiful.” persona.


Dang … La Diva Latina is lookin’ good, y’all. While I’m still not totally on board with her new gig as AI judge, seeing her in all her Jenny from the Blockness in this behind the scenes video footage reminds of how cool the girl can be. I used to LOVE Jennifer Lopez‘s music and all around style … that J. Lo has been gone for some time now. Hopefully her new album Love?, due out next year, will bring back some of that old J. Lo we love … and miss. But … I’m digressing. Check out this fun video clip from the L’Oréal commercial shoot:


Doesn’t she look great? Come back to us, J. Lo … bring the hotness, please!!

Britney Spears Auditions A New Troup Of Back-Up Dancers

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 10:34 AM PST

Britney Spears‘s choreographer Brian Friedman announced on his official Twitter profile last night that he (and presumably Britney) will be auditioning back-up dancers for the upcoming “new era” of Britney music. As you know, Britney‘s new single from her as-yet-untitled new album is rumored to be released as early as next month which means that she will need a troop of back-up dancers for music video and/or live performance purposes.

I must go 2 bed NOW! Have 2 B up in 6 hours! Everyone who’s auditioning get some rest & dress 2 impress! I want STARS not classroom dancers!

It’s exciting to hear that back-up dancers are being auditioned TODAY! We are inching nearer and nearer to the new era of Britney Spears music and I can hardly stand the wait!! Elsewhere on Twitter, superstar producer Dr. Luke revealed the first lyric line of Britney‘s new single. Her new song will start out like this:


OMG … what an effing TEASE! But I can feel it … I can feel it in me bones … we will be hearing new music from our dear Britney very soon. We just have to get Xmas and New Year’s out of the way then … BAM! You just wait and see.

3-Year Olds Don’t Want Books For Xmas

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 10:05 AM PST

There’s an adorably funny new video that is making the viral rounds today that feature a cute little 3-year old boy opening up his presents on Xmas morning. The You Tube vid was uploaded by this little boy’s father and is the funniest/cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. No, it’s not quite as funny as Julia Stiles delivering THIS line on Dexter this season, but trust me … it is deffo worth checking out.


Take note parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, etc. Should you choose to make the mistake of giving reading books to a 3-year old as Xmas gifts, this is what you might encounter:


LMAO!!! I love this kid. Incidentally, I only gave books out as Xmas gifts to all my friends a couple of years ago and it was the best idea ever … so folks who are 20 years old and older, books is a good way to go. 3 year olds? Not so much. Is this not the cutest/funniest thing you’ve ever seen?

Newlywed Nicole Richie Does A Bit Of Shopping In SoCal

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 09:34 AM PST

We are coming up on the 2 week wedding anniversary of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden and the new Mrs. was spotted out and about here in rainy LA yesterday afternoon doing a bit of shopping. Lookin’ every bit as fabulously stylish as ever, Nicole was spied at Barney’s New York in Beverly Hills, CA scopin’ out some new shoes.


Altho this isn’t the first time Nicole was spotted out in public since her lavish wedding on the 11th, it is her first big shopping excursion to Beverly Hills since her big day. Curiously, Nicole and Joel haven’t been seen out and about together since their wedding but considering how bizzy both of them are, it’s really not all that surprising. I imagine Nic/Joel are really looking forward to Xmas this year … their first as a married couple. I must say … being a married woman seems to agree with Nicole. She looks stunning. I hope we get to see more of her, Joel and the kiddies soon.

‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ Will Resume Performances Tonight

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 09:02 AM PST

On Monday night, an actor in the embattled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was injured in a failed stunt that caused him to fall 30 feet to the ground resulting in the immediate end of the performance and the cancellation of the following day’s performances. Today we learn that after a thorough investigation, the accident was ruled a matter of “human error” and the show has been given the green light to resume performances starting tonight.

Actors’ Equity Association, the labor union representing American actors and stage managers in the theatre, released its third statement Dec. 21, following the Dec. 20 injury of actor Christopher Tierney in the new musical Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark at the Foxwoods Theatre … The statement reads, “Actors’ Equity Association worked today with the Department of Labor, OSHA and the production to determine that the cause of the accident at last night’s performance of Spiderman was, in fact, human error. Further protocols are now being implemented, including redundancies recommended by Equity, the DOL and OSHA, to address this situation as well as other elements of the production. Equity continues to vigilantly monitor the production for the safety of its members.”

Director Julie Taymor, who has been ceaselessly championing her embattled show thruout all of its increasingly public problems, issued a statement regarding this latest accident:

“An accident like this is obviously heartbreaking for our entire team and, of course, to me personally. I am so thankful that Chris [Tierney] is going to be all right and is in great spirits. Nothing is more important than the safety of our Spider-Man family, and we'll continue to do everything in our power to protect the cast and crew.”

Because Tierney was not seriously injured and because the accident was ruled a matter of “human error” (i.e. the show is not inherently “dangerous”), Turn Off the Dark has been cleared to resume performances starting tonight (today’s matinee performance has been canceled). So … the Little Spider that Could keeps on singing, dancing and flyin’ around on his merry way in the hopes of salvaging a $65 million dollar project that still, IMHO, seems doomed to failure. This is good news for fans (like me) who really want to see the show before it closes … but is potentially bad news for the Spider-Man players who continue to put themselves in harm’s way just to put on a Broadway musical. How long ’til the next accident? Will the next accident end the show for good?

Rihanna Gives Us A First Look At Her New Celebrity Fragrance

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 08:18 AM PST

Popstar Rihanna shared a photo on her official Twitter profile that gives us our first look at the packaging for her very own celebrity fragrance called Reb’l Fleur. It was announced earlier this year that Ri Ri would be launching her own scent in 2011 and altho the fragrance is not yet available for sale, Rihanna decided to give fans a “christmas surprise” sneak peek at what’s in store for them when the perfume goes on sale next year.

I wanted u guys to discover it first! I hope u love smelling #SEXY

Here is what bottles of Reb’l Fleur will look like along with a description of what the stuff will smell like:

The fragrance is an intense and daring fruity chypre, composed of sophisticated floral notes: tuberose, violet and hibiscus, – with a splash of coconut water, – over the light and smooth base, the combination of the final notes evokes the impression of warm skin. The perfume was created by Caroline Sabas and Marypierre Julien of Givaudan. The elegant bottle, which glows from within, is beautifully designed in the shape of a high heel. The bottle is adorned with silken ribbons and an golden ring on the stopper … “Daring, sexy and truly memorable, Reb’l Fleur is as much in tune with Barbados-born Rihanna’s roots as it is with the glamour of her present life in New York City.” The fragrance will be launched in 2011.

As long as there are celebs, there will be celebrity fragrances. Some of them smell better than others, some of them look better than others … and for much of the target audience, none of that matters. What matters is the name on the bottle. Ardent Britney Spears fans will buy everything she puts out, as would fans of Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, etc. Now that Rihanna has her own perfume, her Reb’l fans can smell as sexy as she does … and really, isn’t that the most important thing to remember here? Is this a smell that YOU think YOU would like to have?

Alleged Lindsay Lohan Assault Victim Shows Off Her Injuries

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 07:36 AM PST

Yesterday we learned that Lindsay Lohan‘s recent after curfew run-in with a Betty Ford staffer allegedly resulted in physical assault, putting Lindsay‘s freedom at risk if the judge overseeing her case determines that she has once again violated the terms of her probation. Today we get to hear from the Betty Ford staffer that alleges the assault (plus we get to see her alleged injuries) in an interview she gave to TMZ … an interview that resulted in her termination from the Betty Ford Center.

The Betty Ford staffer who claims Lindsay Lohan assaulted her tells TMZ … Lindsay had been drinking before the incident and hurt her so badly, she’s now on workers’ comp. Dawn Holland, who works as a chemical dependency technician at the Betty Ford Clinic, tells us on Sunday, December 12, just after 1 AM, Lindsay and two roommates came home from a night on the town … violating the curfew policy. Holland says Lindsay and company jumped a wall, trying to get inside the place she was staying without being noticed. Holland says security stopped the three women, and that’s when Lindsay became belligerent and started swearing up a storm. Holland says she was called to do a breathalyzer on the 3 women, but Lindsay refused and then pushed her. Holland says she went back in the house and Lindsay called 911 on the house phone. Holland says she picked up another house phone to speak with 911, and Lindsay confronted her again and ripped the phone out of her hand, causing a severe sprain which caused Holland to go out on workers’ comp. Holland says she could smell alcohol on Lindsay’s breath.

Naturally, Lindsay is denying that this assault ever happened and is even claiming that SHE is the victim in this situation:

Lindsay Lohan claims the Betty Ford staffer who now claims she’s the victim of battery was so abusive she made Lindsay cry. Lindsay is squarely disputing the story chemical dependency technician Dawn Holland told TMZ … that Lindsay attacked her and caused her to sprain her arm so severely she’s on workers’ comp. Lindsay says, for starters, she wasn’t even with her two roommates hours before the incident. Lindsay says she was out getting her hair done. Lindsay is telling her friends and family, when she returned to the house, Holland grabbed her abruptly and pushed her so hard, Lindsay began to cry. Lindsay says that’s when she went inside the house and called 911. As for refusing to take a breathalyzer, Lindsay says she actually asked Holland to give her a test but Holland refused. Lindsay claims there were not only witnesses that saw everything … there are surveillance cameras to prove her story.

OMG … Lindsay cried?! That’s terrible!! I mean … c’mon. It’s impossible to know who’s telling the truth here … but I am having a VERY hard time believing that it was Lindsay who called 911 AND demanded that she be given a breathalyzer test … LOL. It’s also not very easy to believe Holland‘s story … primarily because she reportedly got paid $10,000 to talk to TMZ. Incidentally, Holland has been fired from The Betty Ford Center because of her interview with TMZ. The fact remains … Lindsay returned to the rehab center after curfew … after she and her friends reportedly got busted for having a drinking party in rehab. HMMM.

As soon as this story first started making the rounds, you know that daddy Michael Lohan was licking his chops, itching to get in front of the TV cameras to squeeze out a bit of publicity for himself … er, I mean for his embattled daughter. The Early Show on CBS happily obliged him:


So there you have it … Dawn Holland says Lindsay Lohan assaulted her. L. Lo says that Holland made her cry. Daddy Lohan goes on TV and does his normal d-bag schtick. Who do you believe?

President Obama Repeals The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy

Posted: 22 Dec 2010 07:10 AM PST

Last Saturday the US Senate voted to repeal the US Military’s discriminatory Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy and today in Washington DC, just moments ago, President Barack Obama signed the repeal into law. Altho there are still a few more procedural things that need to happen before DADT is completely gone, President Obama has promised that the policy will be repealed in practice as quickly as possible.

President Obama signed the landmark repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy Wednesday morning, handing a major victory to advocates of gay rights and fulfilling a campaign promise to do away with a practice that he has called discriminatory. Casting the repeal in terms of past civil rights struggles, Obama said he was proud to sign a law that “will strengthen our national security and uphold the ideals that our fighting men and women risk their lives to defend.” He added: “No longer will tens of thousands of Americans in uniform be asked to live a lie.” The signing does not immediately implement the repeal but instead begins the process of ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military. The law will not actually change until the Pentagon certifies to Congress that the military has met several conditions, including education and training programs for the troops. “In the coming days, we will begin the process laid out in the law” to implement the repeal, Obama said. Meanwhile, he cautioned, “the old policy remains in place.” But he pledged that all the service chiefs are “committed to implementing this change swiftly and efficiently,” and he vowed, “We are not going to be dragging our feet to get this done” … Once enacted, the law for the first time in U.S. history will guarantee the rights of gay service members to serve openly.

Altho we are still months away from the actual implementation of the repeal, today is a great day in the advancement of civil rights in this country. Very soon, any US citizen who wants to put their life in harm’s way for the protection of our country in the US Armed Forces will be allowed to do so — without discrimination! For all intents and purposes, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is dead! Long live equal treatment in the US Armed Forces!!!
