"It's Duck Soup For You"
Keri, JRM and Maggie Q look thrilled to be there ... but what of the principal star Tom Cruise? Surely he wouldn't have missed this premiere ... I wonder where he was ... [Source]
... oh that's right, Tom is freaking crazy ... he was busy scaling the rafters showing the world how excited he is about his new movie, his new baby and his new woman:
Someone should do the guy a favor and shoot him with a tranq gun ... the overzealous homeboy is gonna have a heart attack one of these days. [Source]
Charlie Sheen is doing his best to try and portray himself not as a gay-porn lovin' gambler with a ravenous hunger for prostitutes and death threats but as a kind and gentle lover of children with a deep desire to design clothing for little kiddies ... here are pictures of Charlie and a bunch of kids who better have been paid a lot of money for their participation in this fiasco:
Irregardless of what you think about Denise Richards' allegations against Charlie he still looks creepy as hell hovering over these little kids. Does he seriously think that people would view him as a clothing designer for kids?! It's a ridiculous notion no matter the circumstance. C'mon, even if the guy wasn't getting sued left and right I still don't think a business venture working with small children is a good idea. [Source]
Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans (swoooooon) are working together on the new film The Nanny Diaries ... here are a couple of pictures of the pair shooting a scene on the campus of Columbia University:
He is hot! She is lucky. First she makes out with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in Match Point and now Chris Evans? Yeah, I officially hate her ... and her stupid new hair color. [Source, thanks Kristen & Amanda]
Whoa ... what is going on here? Why does it look like Nicole Richie is vying for the position of Ashley Olsen?
All she needs is a pair of ugly boots and an assistant holding a garment bag in front of her face and Nicole will have the complete look down. [Source]
Nicole's new BFF Mischa Barton is being seen all over the place with her new puppy Ziggy in tow ... it's like the summer of 2005 all over again ... will puppies become the new handbag again this summer?
Well at least this season's accessory doggies come complete with their own handles. [Source]
Janice Dickinson is seriously one crazy-insane woman ...
... and she's not even a Scientologist! She kinda scares the hell outta me. [Source]
Sharon Stone appears to be trying out a new look in a desperate attempt to try and erase the horrible failure that was Basic Instinct: 2 ...
... altho, I think rummaging around in Halle Berry's
I absolutely hate it when mysterious celebs go out in public and manage to successfully mask their true identities:
Those celebs are so damn sneaky. [Source]
ANYWAYS ... Jessica Simpson is starring in a new movie called Employee of the Month ... here is one of the first promo pics released for the flick:
The movie also stars Dax Shepherd (the unlucky one) and Dane Cook (the lucky one). I somehow think that this is a movie that Nick Lachey might be saving for NetFlix. [Source]
Lindsay Lohan is on the cover of the new issue of Russian Seventeen magazine:
Man ... those Russkies are really making a play in the magazine arena. That's pretty coolski. [Source]
Jennifer Lopez, in addition to being the más bella of the Más Bellos for 2006, is the face of Lux shampoo ... here are a couple of her adverts:
So that's her secret for having such silky and luxuriously soft hair! What ... is she too good for Suave shampoo? Huh ... you learn something new every day. [Source]
Here is the cover art for the Neil Gaiman tribute album that is due to be released this summer:
Wee! Gothy goodness! The album features songs from Rasputina, Cruxshadows, Voltaire and Tori Amos. Love it! [Source]
And finally, I have to wish a Happy Birthday to Jessica Alba who turns 25 years old today:
Try as she might to hide them, her bobbies just can't be contained ... they'll make their debut someday. Anyways ... Happy Birthday! [Source]
I also have to send out lots of love and birthday wishes to Brooke!!! XOXO

The thing that struck me most about this movie were the well-developed characters ... they all came across as if they were cartoon characters -- or comic book characters. They seemed hyperhuman, as if they existed in a different world (if that makes any sense at all). The story is well told ... I kept trying to see where it was going but so many things were going on at once that I stopped trying and just tried to keep up. Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a very cool cat. Joseph did an amazing acting job ... and while I want to say he was totally believable I have to admit that I had a hard time buying the fact that 1.) he was that smart (for being so young) and 2.) he could take that many punches to the face (and hits to the body) and still manage to function normally. Tug was a great, flawed character ... he looked like a guy who listened to way too much Eminem. Pin was very comical and his mother was hilarious ... I was also surprised at how funny the movie was ... there were many instances where the audience erupted in laughter. I think Brain was my favorite character ... he made the perfect sidekick. Even tho I think I "got" everything I think I'd like to see the movie one more time ... just to make sure. It's that good, y'all.
This afternoon I'm having lunch with my friend Sherri and then tonight I'm hopping on a plane to NYC for a few days ... well ... I'm sure y'all know why :)
That's it ... I'm out.

Bello And The Beast
If you are interested in seeing who else made it onto the Más Bello list (including Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodríguez, Shakira and Ricky Martin) then you can click HERE for the full list. [Source]
Here are a few pictures of J. Ló from the magazine that accompany her interview:
Because the interview is in español I can't understand a word of it (yes, I know, I'm the worst.Mexicoid.ever) ... but maybe they ask her why in hell she is still married to the zombified Marc Anthony -- who, incidentally, does not make the Más Bello list even tho his wife is on the cover. LOLOLOLOLOLOL! [Source]
Okay ... that's it ... adiós!

Beauty Is Only Spin Deep
"She looks the most beautiful when she's in the field -- natural, no makeup, nothing," says Wyclef Jean of the actress-activist, 30. Indeed, her beauty needs are decidedly practical: a dusting of powder, a few strokes of mascara, a dab of Vaseline on her world-famous lips and - voilà! - she's ready to meet the president of Pakistan. Never before have I seen a magazine go out on a limb like this to buck tradition and choose an underdog for the cover of a magazine devoted to the World's Most Beautiful People. Kudos to People magazine for taking such risks. [Source]
If you are interested in seeing who else made the cut of the World's Most Beautiful (among them -- Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, Brandon Routh and Naveen Andrews) then you can click HERE for some of People's photos. Oh and if you're interested in learning Ryan Seacrest's manicure techniques you can click HERE. Incidentally, he still contends that he is not gay.
US Weekly threw themselves a little Hot Hollywood Awards party last night in LA ...
... which of course attracted the hottest Hollywood "It" Girls around ... [Source]
... and Kimberly Stewart:
... who obviously only got in because someone forgot to lock the door. [Source]
Michelle Rodriguez, who chose to serve a 5-day jail sentence rather than serve 240 hours of community service, donned a fetching white ensemble as she turned herself in to the authorities so that she could begin serving her jail sentence:
"Lost" actress Michelle Rodriguez pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a single count of driving under the influence, choosing to pay a $500 fine and spend five days in jail rather than do 240 hours of community service ... On Tuesday, a judge gave Rodriguez the option of jail time or community service. She was to surrender to authorities at Kaneohe District Court later in the day. Rodriguez' lawyer contends that she chose jail over community service because it would be too hard for her to complete her community service because of the throngs of fans that would be harassing her for photos and autographs. This is an argument that I completely understand. [Source, Source, thanks Meghan]
Jennifer Love Hewitt seems hellbent on destroying what little career she has left. She dodged a bullet by signing on to star in the CBS spooky-drama The Ghost Whisperer (which, so far, has been a minor Friday night hit for CBS) but hasn't learned her lesson. J. Love is sportin' a new look these days ... a new horrrrrrible look:
What the hell ... does she think that merely by looking like Katie Couric that she'll be able to command a Katie Couric-sized salary? It's so gross! If she did this to herself for a movie role then she better be gettin' paid an insane amount of money. It'd be so sad if her hot new boyfriend dumped her over this terrible misstep. [Source, Source]
Wee! Here are more pictures of Kylie Minogue out and about in NYC:
She's still lookin' fab as ever. I wonder how long Miss Kylie will be staying in the Big Apple? [Source]
Ouch! Alicia Silverstone is lookin' pret-ty bad in these pictures:
Granted, she was on her way from yoga class and prolly didn't expect to be seen out in public lookin' a fright. It's cool babe, I still loves ya! [Source]
Mischa Barton and Nicole Richie are spending so much time together that I have decided to dub them Mischie (which is a terrible name, I'll admit, but serves my purposes -- so there) ... mainly because they make such a cute couple:
As opposed to Mischco ... who do NOT make a cute couple at all. Mischa has great taste in friends and in pets (Ziggy is the cutest.dog.ever) ... but has no taste in men at whatsoever. [Source, thanks McKenzie]
Ashley Olsen appears to be attempting to start a new trend ... if she has her way, expect to see skinny little waifs wearing thick, rubber galoshes all thru the coming summer months:
If these horrid things start showing up on the shelves of Jimmy Choo I'm gonna hafta sue somebody! [Source]
Gwen Stefani is a beautiful woman who is fond of expressing her unique sense of style and fashion in the most interesting ways ...
... and I actually think she looks great in this golden outfit, altho the flowy sari-lookin' things are a bit much sometimes. I'd like to see her wearing more things from the Harajuku-Maternity line. [Source]
Check out these adorable pictures of David Boreanaz and his cute little family (wife Jamie and son Jaden) as they make their way to a Tony Roma's Famous For Ribs restaurant in LA for dinner:
I like that the little kid is already wearing sweat pants and UGGs boots ... he'll be hanging with the Hollywood "It" Girls in no time. [Source]
In other Buffyverse news, Alexis Denisof (the real-life husband of Allyson Hannigan) joined his wife on the set of How I Met Your Mother playing a guest role as a news anchor:
Allyson and Alexis make such a cute couple. I love it that these two former-Buffyverse actors found love and managed to hang on to it. [Source, Source]
Rachel Bilson is featured in the new issue of In Style magazine looking like quite the virgin maiden all decked out in this beautiful white dress:
And I'm sure that Rachel and boyfriend Adam Brody haven't, you know, like, done anything yet ... they're prolly the most sweet and innocent young Hollywood couple around. [Source]
Ashlee Simpson has been doing a very good job of looking cute these days ... it's been quite a while since she's effed up her hair or anything like that ... check out these pictures of Ashlee from her photoshoot for Bravo magazine:
Ashlee contends that she is sexier than her big sis Jessica Simpson ... while this may not be 100% true, I think it's safe to say that Ash has been giving Jess a run for her money lately. [Source]
Lost hottie Josh Holloway is on the cover of the latest issue of Men's Health magazine:
Oh yes ... he sure looks healthy indeedie. In the beginning, I was not a Sawyer fan on Lost but over time he's really begun to grown on me ... and the fact that he is smokin' hot has absolutely nothing to do with how I feel about his character. Team Sawyer! [Source]
And finally, In Touch magazine will be featuring the lovely ladies from MTV's 8th & Ocean in next week's issue which is due to hit newsstands on May 5th ... here is a sneak preview of the bikini-clad young'ns:
The girls were photographed in South Beach (obvs) at the Versace mansion. I'm not exactly sure if this is a picture of Sabrina or Kelly ... but I really hope it's Sabrina cuz, well, we all know that Kelly sucks. Enjoy! [Source]

What a stunning movie. We both thoroughly enjoyed this film (Tracey was even moved to tears at the end ... but it must be known that Tracey cries over Hallmark card commercials -- altho she's not as bad a crier as Sarah is ... but I'm getting off my point so let's get back to it). The story is simple but the characters are what really make this film. The word Tsotsi means "thug" or "gangster" which gives you a hint at what life is like for the main character. In truth, Tsotsi turns out to be merely a victim of circumstance (who's had a very hard life). There are some extremely touching parts of the film ... they're subtle and are mixed in successfully with the brutal realities that are highlighted as well. Tsotsi comes across as a very cold and unlikeable kid but as the movie progresses and as he grows up a bit that coldness melts away. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Tonight I'm hoping to attend a screening of Brick at the Main Art Theater. And that is all ... I have to prepare for my upcoming weekend ... Lates.
