Watch: Björk Performs Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 05:50 PM PST Björk was on hand to kick off a 3-day karaoke marathon (which was orchestrated in an effort to boost support for a referendum on foreign ownership of Icelandic natural resources) at The Nordic House in Reykjavík, Iceland and she blessed the assembled audience with a beautiful rendition of the classic Joy Division song Love Will Tear Us Apart. Björk performed other songs at the event but it is the Joy Division cover that is getting all the attention.
Amazing. Björk is amazing. I love how devoted she is to the protection of her homeland and how willing she is to use her musical talents to help raise environmental awareness. She is just … amazing. And, without further ado, here is video of Björk‘s performance of Love Will Tear Us Apart: Man, I wish she would record this song and release it for sale … I would DIE. Here is more video of Björk performing another song (that I do not recognize) at the karaoke marathon event: Go, Björk, Go!! I understand she is planning the release of a new album this year. 2011 is going to be a great year for music, count on that! [Source; Source, Source] |
Neil Gaiman Will Guest Star On ‘The Simpsons’ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 04:30 PM PST My fave author Neil Gaiman, who recently married his rocker fiancée Amanda Palmer in San Francisco, CA to ring in the New Year, announced on his official Twitter profile last night that he will be guest starring on an upcoming episode of The Simpsons. Gaiman has been cast as a “Nail Gaiman: British author”, a role I think he can prolly handle. Gaiman also posted a few fun photos from the recording session for sharing.
So freakin’ cool!! I love Neil so much and I think he will be fantastic on The Simpsons. Amanda, Neil‘s blushing bride, had to jet off to Australia to start a tour down there and Neil was unable to go with her … and now we know why. I understand that Neil has finally reunited with his new bride in Oz. Happy Gaiman news all around. Woot!! [Source] |
Are Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Planning To Boycott The Academy Awards? Posted: 11 Jan 2011 03:15 PM PST Rumor has it that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, collectively referred to as TomKat, are planning NOT to attend the 2011 Academy Awards this year because the show is being co-hosted by Anne Hathaway. As you may recall, back in November, Anne hosted Saturday Night Live and she hilariously lampooned Katie Holmes in one of the skits. According to rumors going around this week, TomKat are pissed at Anne and, therefore, are boycotting Oscars this year.
LMAOOOO! Truth be told, I don’t believe this ridiculous rumor for one second … but it sure is funny as Hell. And, by passing along the report today, we get to take another look at Anne‘s BRILLIANTLY hilarious impression of Katie Holmes on SNL: Hahahahahaha. I love pretty much all of the Hangin’ with Miley skits on SNL but this one is particularly good. Boycott or no boycott, this story is awesome. Yay Anne! You rule!! [Source, Source] |
First Listen: Michael Lohan’s Song For Lindsay Lohan, ‘My Rose’ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 02:22 PM PST Earlier this month we learned that Michael Lohan commissioned a song to be written for his then-rehabbing daughter Lindsay Lohan as a tribute to her strength, or something like that. Lohan teamed up with former All-4-One singer Delious Kennedy for a song titled My Rose. Today we get to hear a short preview of the track … and I must warn you, it’s not pretty … at all. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!! Lord have MERCY, this song is terrible … but at least it’s a club banger. What do y’all think … do you like this jam? Do you expect to be hearing it in the clubs? [Source] |
David Beckham Begins Soccer Training In Tottenham Posted: 11 Jan 2011 01:45 PM PST Yesterday we got to see a few photos of David Beckham, who announced on Saturday that he and wife Victoria Beckham are expecting a 4th child together, as he made his way into London Independent Hospital for a routine fitness check-up as he tries to work out a loan deal with the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Today we get to see photos of Becks training with the Spurs as plans for his loan out deal move forward.
HMMM … Becks‘s injury last year (the one that kept him from competing in the 2010 World Cup last Summer) must the the thing holding up this deal. It would be such a bummer if they decided not to take Becks on … but, then again, if he doesn’t play for the Spurs he’ll have more time to be with his newly pregnant wife here in the US. Honestly, I just want the best for Becks … if this deal is mean to be, it’ll happen. [Photo credit: Splash News; Source] |
Watch: Ricky Martin, ‘The Best Thing About Me Is You’ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:55 PM PST Ricky Martin, who we learned last week celebrated his 39th birthday on the slopes in Canada last month, released the music video for his new single The Best Thing About Me Is You. On the track, Ricky duets with Joss Stone but she is not featured in the video. Instead, Ricky and his cast of “everyday people” be-bop around conveying a message of happy universal and equal love … or something like that.
I am ALL for positivity and the advocacy of universal love and acceptance … but it has to be done well. This video, as positive as it is, seems really … silly to me. The music is not really the kind of music that Ricky has released before and, well, the finger-snapping/hand-clapping/knee-slapping is just a bit much, IMHO. Check it out and judge for yourselves: Altho the video really isn’t my thing, I’m really happy for Ricky‘s new found happiness and comfortableness with his sexuality. What do y’all think of the video … do you like it? [Source, Source] |
Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:39 PM PST Last night I got together with my DEAR Adriana for a last-minute hang out session in Silverlake. I hadn’t seen her since before Thanksgiving so we were long overdue. We decided to meet at one of our fave eateries here in LA, a place that she introduced me to a couple years before I moved to LA almost 5 years go. Our restaurant of choice last night was the phabulous Pho Cafe.
After dinner, we sat in my car for almost an hour listening to music and just generally catching up. Adriana is about to start classes at University to get her teaching certificate and she is so excited. I know she will make a fantastic teacher and I cannot wait for her to get in the classroom. I just love that crazy girl. Tonight, David and I are meeting up with friends for more hanging out. I’m telling you, life is good when you’ve got so many good friends that you have to space them out :) |

First Look: Hugo Weaving As Red Skull In ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 10:50 AM PST Back in July we got our first look a new concept art from Captain America: The First Avenger that showed us was actor Chris Evans would look like in costume as the superhero star. Today we get to see new concept art that shows us what actor Hugo Weaving will look like as the villainous arch-nemesis Red Skull.
Ever since we learned that Hugo Weaving won the role of Johann Schmidt/Red Skull last May, I knew he would be PERFECT for the role. This concept art makes Red Skull look very much like he does in the comic book series, which IMHO is very important. To be honest, I’ve always felt that Red Skull is the most abhorrent comic book villain of all time (for very obvious reasons) but I understand his existence must come from a direct opposition to Captain America. I can’t wait to see how their epic battle plays out on the big screen. July 22 can’t get here soon enough for me. [Source] |
‘The New Yorker’ Lampoons ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 10:20 AM PST Depite the fact that the troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark managed to get thru a whole week without maiming or injuring any of its players, The New Yorker magazine decided to poke a little fun at the show with the cover of this week’s issue. Despite the calamities, tho, there is some good news for Turn Off the Dark. The show managed to out-gross Wicked to become the current most successful show on Broadway!
OY! It is kinda sick to think that people are flocking to the show in the hopes that they will see someone get hurt but, I guess that’s entertainment here in America … entertainment that is working. As I mentioned above, Turn Off the Dark for the first time has sold more tickets than Wicked (the previous #1 show on Broadway) which means that all the “bad press” that the show has been getting is actually helping ticket sales:
Without question, people are going to the show for the spectacle … but if the show isn’t good, it won’t stand a chance of besting Wicked in the long run. Wicked is one of my all-time fave musicals, it would take A LOT for a new show to eclipse my love for the untold story of the witches of OZ. That said, I’m just as curious as anyone to see Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and I am planning to see it for myself next month. Congrats are deffo in order for Spider-Man‘s ability to knock Wicked out of the top spot … tho, it remains to be seen if it can stay on top. |
AnnaLynne McCord Brings ‘Avatar’ To ’90210′ Posted: 11 Jan 2011 09:55 AM PST AnnaLynne McCord was spotted on the streets of SoCal yesterday filming new scenes for an upcoming episode of 90210. As I understand it, AnnaLynne‘s character Naomi falls in love with a geek and decides to try and impress him by dressing as a Na’vi character from Avatar … which is what ANY rich, beautiful and popular girl would do if she were trying to nab a nerd, right?
LOL! As weird and TOTALLY unbelievable as this sounds, I love it. 90210 is deffo one of my fave shows … I may not rave about it all the time but I never miss an ep and I really look forward to each episode. I’ve come to genuinely like the characters and really enjoy the storylines. This Avatar ep of 90210 will air on January 24, it really looks like an ep NOT TO BE MISSED :D [Photo credit: Splash News; Source] |
Jared Leto Lands In Los Angeles Posted: 11 Jan 2011 09:16 AM PST When last we saw photos of Jared Leto, he was all bundled up against the (marginal) cold weather here in SoCal last month and homie was rockin’ a fur-like hat that covered his hair in such a way that we couldn’t see what color his hair was. As you may recall, in early December Jared was rockin’ some bright blue hair in London. But these days, Jared is blonde again … and it’s a look that suits him very well.

Andrew Garfield Does ‘Details’ Magazine Posted: 11 Jan 2011 08:58 AM PST Andrew Garfield, star of The Social Network and the upcoming Spider-Man reboot film franchise, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine. In his coverstory interview, Garfield talks more about his upcoming role as Spider-Man and what it means to him to become the world’s most famous web-slinger.
Andrew Garfield is deffo one of those actors whose star is on the rise. The Social Network may have been his break-out film (and what a break-out it is) but Spider-Man will truly put him on the map as a household name. I admit, I don’t know much about the man himself but everything I’ve read or seen makes him come across as a genuinely nice guy. In Garfield‘s case, I hope he’s the kind of nice guy that will finish first. Here are some photos from Andrew‘s Details magazine photospead:

Kylie Minogue Announces US Dates For Her ‘Aphrodite Live 2011′ Tour Posted: 11 Jan 2011 07:58 AM PST Back in October Kylie Mingoue blessed her North American fans with the news that she would be bringing her new World Tour to Canada and the US this Spring. Today we learn which Canadian city (yes, just one) and which US cities (15) she will be visiting this April and March with her Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour.
And now for the bad news … as you may have noticed, the North American leg of Kylie‘s tour has been titled the Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour … which is different from the Les Folies Tour 2011. Essentially, we will be getting a smaller, pared down version of her tour. As you may remember, last Sunday we learned that Kylie‘s elaborate Les Folies Tour 2011 stage would feature a special stage with a VIP Splash Zone section for fans. All indications point to the sad fact that that stage will NOT come here to the US. As I understand it, Kylie promises that the Aphrodite Live 2011 Tour will be more intimate (due to venue size) and different & special in its own way (presumably with a different setlist, stage props, etc.). As excited as I am that Kylie is touring the US again (visiting many more US cities than she did on her last tour), I’m really bummed that we will not be getting the massive stage set-up that the rest of the world is getting. Thankfully, David and I will be traveling in Europe in March and we will get to see Kylie‘s Les Folies Tour 2011. Additionally, we plan to attend a couple of her US dates here in the Spring. It’ll be great to welcome Kylie back, tho, no question … especially when you consider that we North American fans will get to see Kylie up close and very personal in small venues that her international fans can only dream of ;) |
Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson Reunite For A Dinner Date Posted: 11 Jan 2011 07:35 AM PST It was only a matter of time … despite what we heard about protestations to the contrary, it was really only a matter of time before we learned that ex-girlfriends and new next door neighbors Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson got together to break bread. Last weekend, L. Ron reunited for a quiet dinner together in Venice, CA lookin’ about as friendly as ever. Might this be the beginning of a new relationship?
And there you have it … the accidental neighbors are now tight BFFs again. Keep in mind, Samantha did show up a few times to lend her support to Lindsay during all the drama she was involved in late last year, it’s clear that the ladies have stayed friends despite their break-up. Their new living situation and Lindsay‘s alleged sobriety may pave the way for the blossoming of a new, perhaps romantic, relationship down the road. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this L. Ron reunion plays out … one ting’s for sure, this is not the last that we’ll be hearing of these two. Does their reunion sound like a good idea to you? [Source] |
