Lively And Badgley Go Godiva

Gossip Girl co-stars and off-screen partners in love, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley were snapped shopping @ the Godiva store in New York City last Sunday.

Some photos of the two seem really close up and clearer than clear. How'd these paps get such vivid shots? There was even one of them @ the counter picking out chocolate! Kinda weird.

Was it all planned and staged so they can get buttloads of free candy? Or these paparazzi really have top of the line, maximum zoom lens cameras.

However the shots were managed, Blake and Penn look really pretty.

The couple then attended the premiere of 'Australia' the following evening.

EW Surely Hearts Robert Pattinson Lots

As does the rest of the free world, we can't seem to get enough of Edward Cullen himself, Robert Pattinson and the rest of the Twilight cast for that matter.

Pattinson once again graces the new issue of Entertainment Weekly.

How many photoshoots has the cast done so far? I've seen so many shots and outtakes. And they're all beautifully taken.

This EW cover should hit newsstands on Monday.

Chuck Bass, Karen Filippelli, & Edward Cullen

This is an interesting threesome. I came across this photo of Gossip Girl star, Ed Westwick, ex The Office star, Rashida Jones, and Twilight's Robert Pattinson.

I don't know when this was taken (I'm assuming this year), where this was taken, and why this was taken.

He's Just Not That Into You

So the trailer is out for this all star movie that will open on February 6th of next year. And it looks really good.

The movie is based on the best selling book of the same name and stars Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Justin Long, Kevin Connolly, and I even saw Sasha Alexander! Extra cool. I like Sasha; she's a good actress.

I'll put this on my must see list.

Check out the trailer.

The Dream Lives On

I don't care if there aren't that many Wilson Phillips fans nowadays. I am still a devoted listener. And as these 3 women (Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, Chynna Phillips) leave their 30's behind, there is no doubt that they still sound brilliant and look so good for their age.

I went down south this weekend with Lounging Eater and Solo5 to see WP perform and hearing them sing live sounds as if you are listening to HD radio. They have this wonderful harmonizing sound like no other. It was just so awesome!

The chance to meet them was a huge highlight as well. Another highlight was Chynna's husband, William Baldwin. He was cool to approach and was probably the loudest "fan" in the whole place. Not to mention his gorgeousness.

All in all, SQUEE!!!!

No Pomegranate

Today went by really fast. I got little drummer girl ready and off to school this morning and chatted a bit on facebook. I went for a haircut and deep condition in San Fran and then I went to return a sweater @ the Gap. Had some work issues come up (on my day off) and went to Target for some goldfish crackers. But no pomegranate 7up in sight. Goose said Safeway.

Twilight came out late last night. How was it?

I'm still achy.

Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart stopped by The Today Show on NBC this morning to promote the much hyped about film.

The two stars were papped yesterday as they separately made their way through LAX en route to NYC.

The movie opens tonight @ midnight.

Madonna Kinda Green

Her Madgesty aka Madonna attended Gucci's launch of the Tattoo Heart Collection to benefit UNICEF @ The Plaza last night in New York City. And she posed for the press!

Oh, her greatness!

Rockin' Rihanna

Super singer, Rihanna was in New York City last night to attend the 2008 UNICEF Snowflake Lighting @ the Grand Army Plaza.

The UNICEF Snowflake is said to be the largest of its kind.

Rihanna performed in the Philippines this past weekend with her boyfriend, Chris Brown as the opening act.

Robert Pattinson Hits Up NYC

One of the most beautiful men out there, Robert Pattinson jetted out of LAX yesterday and made his way to the big apple.


Probably continuing his promotional tour for his latest movie, Twilight, Pattinson hit up Gucci's Tattoo Heart Collection event to benefit UNICEF. I don't know if this is what he wore though.

SNL Afterparty With JA, JT, And NP

The Saturday Night Live afterparty was full of celebrities last night @ the Dos Caminos Restaurant in New York City.

Jennifer Aniston made her way inside sans boyfriend John Mayer. Who watched her Oprah interview last Thursday?

Singer Justin Timberlake joined host Paul Rudd and even made two surprise appearances during the broadcast. No Jessica Biel?

Rumored cast member Andy Samberg's ex-fling, Queen Amidala, I mean Natalie Portman also partied with the peeps inside.

Country superstar Tim McGraw hosts next weekend's Thanksgiving show.

Corned Beef Is So Expensive Now

I was up and around by 6:30 this morning. And when I stepped outside to go to Starbucks a few hours later, it was like a light was being shined in my eyes. It is sunny outside. And hot. Oh, to live in California where it's the middle of November and it's almost 80 degrees.

And with it being 80 outside, I step in to Starbucks and you hear Christmas music playing and gingerbread lattes being offered. Really? The holidays are already upon us?

Then I impulsively decide to go to Costco to get my supply of corned beef. Man, did the price of those things go up or what? It went up hella! From being $6.00+ to $8.79 to a whopping $12.99. I guess I know what I have to add to my list of cutbacks.

Oh, and the people in front of me purchased what looked to be thousands of boxes of TheraFlu. And Irish Spring!

Twilight Tour Continues

Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed were out last night doing their portion of the movie's mall tour sponsored by Hot Topic.

This event seemed pretty organized. I mean, look, there was even time for Stewart and Reed to pose for the paparazzi. Their co-star, Robert Pattinson had some trouble going on @ his scheduled events last week in San Francisco (although my favorite little guy, Googly Eyes got his chance to meet the one and only Edward Cullen) and Dallas i.e. huge fan turnout and crowd control issues.

Kristen and Nikki signed autographs and chatted a bit with fans @ Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ.

Twilight opens straight up @ midnight, on February 21st.

ER Is Still Must Watch TV

ER has been on the air for 15 years now and even though it isn't bringing in the ratings it used to, it's still riveting television.

I have pretty much watched it consistently, give or take a season where I've missed a few episodes, and the storylines always keep me tuned in. This is probably the one show where I don't ship a particular couple and squee @ romance, if any.

And the revolving cast members don't phase me too much.

But alas, ER is in its final season and last night's episode was effing brilliant! Anthony Edwards made a guest appearance as the late Dr. Mark Green in flashbacks Dr. Banfield (the kick ass Angela Bassett) had from years ago when she first stepped into the ER, aiding her sick child who had a case of undiagnosed leukemia.

Not only did Edwards appear, but Laura Innes who played Dr. Kerry Weaver and Paul McCrane as the assy Dr. Romano. Their bits were short but very welcoming. It made the scenes more real. I wondered if they were going to sprinkle old cast members in and not just have Green work with the still around nurses. I was not disappointed. Although I was hoping for Sherry Stringfield (Susan! Lewis). Doris the EMT was even there! And so was Jerry (who aged)!

Oh, and Eriq LaSalle (Benton!) paid tribute to the late Michael Crichton who created ER. It was also good to see him in any ER capacity again.

From Gloria Rueben's guest star appearance last season to more Anthony Edwards flashbacks later this season to Noah Wyle (John Carter) planning his own mini return, ER is sure to go out with a bang, regardless if George Clooney comes back or not.

Rachel Has Landed

Rachel McAdams made her way through LAX airport earlier today after spending time in London filming Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey, Jr and director Guy Ritchie.

So what's the Canada living actress doing in Los Angeles? Photo shoot? Interview?

In addition to Sherlock Holmes, Rae Rae will star with Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe in 'State of Play' in 09 as well as 'The Time Traveler's Wife' with The Incredible Hulk, Eric Bana.

Ooh, looks like someone's making a major return to the big screen. Good for her. She's a hella good actress.

Ooh, Brenda And Kelly Drama On 90210

The seconds long preview for next week's episode of 90210 looked better than last night's entire episode.

It looks like some chick has the hots for Silver's man, Dixon and Kelly (Jennie Garth) and Brenda (Shannen Doherty) are back! Now that's what I'm looking forward to watching.

From the clips, it seems that Brenda has been avoiding Kelly. Why? Because she slept with Ryan the teacher and fessed up while in a hospital bed! What's wrong with Brenda?!

Below are pictures of Jennie and Shannen in between filming scenes on November 7th.

Blake Lively And W Magazine

Actress Blake Lively has garnered the December cover of ultra cool magazine, W.

Lively seems to be moving on up from the teen magazine editions to her well deserved up and coming status quo.

Recently, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star was in the presence of Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Chanel man Karl Lagerfeld, Andre Leon Talley, and Ivanka Trump @ the Fashion Group International's 25th Annual Night of Stars in New York City.

She's one of the stars of the highly addictive CW show, Gossip Girl and can be seen alongside Robin Wright Penn, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, & Alan Arkin in 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee'. Written and directed by Rebecca Miller, Blake plays the younger druggie version of Pippa Lee to Wright Penn's middle aged version. She wrapped that this past summer and the movie will be included in the upcoming film festivals next year.

Blakey, Blakely, Blakester has been dating Gossip Girl co-star, Penn Badgley for the past year and even though they are frequently attached @ the hip and attend events together, the 21 year old prefers to not publicly talk about Badgley or their relationship. As she shouldn't...

The JA Rocks Vogue

The lovely Jennifer Aniston will be on the December issue of Vogue magazine and answers some tough questions about her personal life.

Aniston has exchanged very few words with ex-husband, Brad Pitt and even commented on the fact that John Mayer easily spilled that he dumped her to the paparazzi. JA declared that would not happen again. But what won't happen again, Jen? Meaning if they break up (again), Mayer isn't allowed to speak of it and who did the dumping? Or that they will never break up?

And Angelina Jolie? Uncool, according to Jen Jen.

Pick up the new issue of Vogue to read more on Jennifer and what's been going on with her.

And don't forget to catch her on 30 Rock this Thursday!

Edward Cullen And Bella Swan's EW Outtakes

Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart grace the current issue of Entertainment Weekly with 3 covers. No other cast members were included in any of these . Just them. That must make Pattinson and Stewart real special!

Outtakes from photo shoots are usually released shortly thereafter. Some outtakes take a lot longer though. Fortunately, two shots of the young couple that did not make the magazine (hence, outtakes) have surfaced.

They're so pretty.

Glamour's Women Of The Year

Glamour Magazine held their annual Women of the Year Awards last night @ Carnegie Hall in New York City.

New mom Nicole Kidman was honored and arrived with country singer husband, Keith Urban.

Fergie performed and attendees included Sarah Michelle Geller (where is Freddie Prinze, Jr?), Natalie Portman (love her dress!), Taylor Swift (got milk?), & Kate Bosworth.

Jessica Honors Baz

Actress and Justin Timberlake girlfriend, Jessica Biel was @ the Museum of Modern Art's benefit gala last night honoring director Baz Luhrmann.
Biel looked very classy and her dress was pretty stunning.

Last week, my local favorite radio station, Alice @ 97.3, morning duo Sarah & Vinnie announced that a boat had capsized in St. Tropez I believe, and that Jessica had possibly been on board where there were no survivors. Where they got that info is beyond me because Biel is alive and well and nowhere out of the country. I wonder if Sarah retracted her news story?

John Mayer Is All Buff N Stuff

Crooner John Mayer went for a workout @ his gym in West Hollywood earlier today.

The singer allegedly spent the night @ second time around girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston's place.

But man, John is looking mighty hot. It's his body and short hair, I think.

Robert Pattinson Appearance Canceled In San Fran

Craziness ensued early this morning @ the Stonestown Galleria when police were forced to cancel Twilight star Robert Pattinson's appearance @ Hot Topic tonight. 500 wrist bands were to be distributed and thousands of fans flocked to the mall as early as midnight to secure their place in Pattinson's presence.

It seems that the city did not realize the strength of this movie and its loyal fans by not garnering what should have been more security and efficient crowd control.

Today was supposed to be the kick off of the Twilight tour where cast members were to travel to different cities to meet the fans and promote what is possibly to become a high grossing film.

Unfortunately for San Franciscans, that meet and greet can no longer be. Fans from as far away as Los Angeles and Hawaii traveled to the bay area for their chance meeting with Edward Cullen.

Here's hoping that the next scheduled city stops are better prepared.

Blake And Leighton Hugging It Out

In between filming what looks to be emotional scenes early last week for the upcoming funeral episode, Gossip Girl starlets Blake Lively and Leighton Meester aka Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf (or head scarf and headband as I like to call them sometimes) take a break from it all and do a little hugging.

It's still a shame that Lively and Meester weren't able to do that 30 Rock guest spot playing Liz Lemon's high school cohorts. Whatever the reasoning was, too bad. They would have been a trip.

Meredith Parties @ Tao With Addison

Tao nightclub celebrated its 3 year anniversary last night in Las Vegas with a bevy of TV celebs.

Ellen Pompeo of Grey's Anatomy fame visited Sin City with her husband in tow, as did Private Practice stars, Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs.

Amanda Bynes and Pam Beesley herself, Jenna Fischer were also @ the celebration. So was hottie Robin Thicke and not so hottie Denise Richards.

Pomegranate 7UP

I've started my obsession with pomegranate juices this year.A pomegranate martini is so my drink of choice @ the moment.

What I just discovered as of last night @ Goose's soiree was that 7up released a pomegranate soda that's out for a limited time. Limited meaning just for the holidays. Oooh, I'm stoked.

7up first brought this flavor to consumers last year. And I missed it!

But not this year. I'm gonna have to buy these babies in bulk since they're only sold for a limited time.

James Lafferty And Sophia Bush Coupled Up

During a recent interview with a local CW station, One Tree Hill star, Chad Michael Murray casually outed his co-star and ex-wife, Sophia Bush, dating their other co-star, James Lafferty.

Pictures of Bush and Lafferty together have surfaced here and there and the rumors have been going on for a while that the two were an item.

Murray said they all get along and it's now easier for him and Sophia to work together. Who knows if that's still true considering James and Sophia have not gone public, public with their togetherness. Which isn't a bad thing that they keep their relationship to themselves.

Brooke Davis and Nathan Scott were recently photographed on October 24 getting ready to board a plane in Wilmington, NC, where the series shoots.

Twilight Cover #3

Entertainment Weekly released the third and final cover of their collectible issue featuring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart from the upcoming movie, Twilight.

Stewart graces the 3rd cover and stated that she couldn't play Bella unless Robert was her Edward Cullen. Awww.

The three covers will hit newsstands this weekend.

Jessica Gets Lucky With Leighton And Kelly

Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr was event hopping all over New York City last night. She was spotted @ the flagship store opening of Juicy Couture with Blake Lively and Penn Badgley.

Szohr also managed to attend the 5th annual Lucky Shops For Robin Hood with two more co-stars. Leighton Meester and Kelly Rutherford were also on hand for the event.

Meester was shooting scenes earlier in the day with Ed Westwick.

Madonna On Stage With Britney And Justin

The legendary Madonna played a show @ Dodger Stadium last night in Los Angeles and the star studded audience were treated to performances by Britney Spears and her long time ago boyfriend, Justin Timberlake.

Spears and Timberlake did not appear onstage together as many had hoped.

Instead, Madonna did 4 Minutes with Justin and dueted on Human Nature with her MTV VMA's kissing partner.

Jessica Goes Juicy With Blake And Penn

Three of the stars of Gossip Girl were on hand last night in New York City for the flagship store opening of Juicy Couture.

Jessica Szohr, who plays Vanessa, joined up with her co-stars, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley for the event.

Other celebrities on hand were Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Geller, Molly Sims, and Julia Roberts' niece, Emma.

Twilight Cover #2

Entertainment Weekly revealed their 2nd Twilight cover this morning and it features Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Issues go on newsstands early next week.

El Debarge - Rhythm Of The Night, In Jail

Who's Holding Donna Now Singer El Debarge was sentenced to two years in prison for possession of crack cocaine.

Apparently, the lead singer of the sibling group, Debarge, has had previous trouble in the past with drugs and jail time.

The former brother in law of Miss Nasty, Janet Jackson, had moderate success as a solo singer back in the 80's. Rhythm of the Night, anyone?

I mean, c'mon! He did a guest appearance on The Facts of Life!

You wear it well!

Twilight Cast Does Vanity Fair

The Twilight Cast is featured in the December issue of Vanity Fair with Kate Winslet gracing the cover. And beautifully, I might add.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, Cam Gigandet, Nikki Reed, and the rest of the movie's stars were photographed on September 13th for the current edition.
Twilight opens on November 21 and below is a behind the scenes look @ the photo shoot.

Rachel And Ryan Untogethered

Well that didn't take long, did it?

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling reportedly have ended their second attempt @ being googly-eyed with one another.

The couple were spotted in Canada a few months back getting cozy after being photographed some weeks before that in Los Angeles.

But some are even wondering if they really did get back together and not just portray the re-togetherness for the press. McAdams had a movie being released around the same time they were papped yet Gosling did not accompany Rachel to her premiere.

But US Weekly reported that just like their first break-up, the reasoning for the current split was their busy schedules.

What? Are they that busy filming movies and stuff?

Gosling was supposedly spotted with a new girl in New York recently.

Knight Rider; What? When? Who?

The 80's TV series, Knight Rider has been recycled for the 21st century and is currently on the lineup. For how long? Who knows.

I think it stars the guy who played Jamie on All My Children.

When and what time is this on?

Is it anything like the original? That one starred The Hoff.

Twilight On Tres Covers For EW

In anticipation of the theatrical release of the ever popular book series, Twilight, Entertainment Weekly is releasing 3 different covers for their latest edition.

The first features Edward Cullen himself, Robert Pattinson. The other covers will be released tomorrow; @ least the 2nd one will. But then again, the magazines will literally be available tomorrow for subscribers.

Which one will I get it?

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Sarah Jessica Parker And Matthew Broderick Voted

New York couple Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick came out smiling with their 6 year old frizzy haired son, James Wilkie as they participated in this year's election.

Have you voted yet?

Gossip Girl In Black Attire Part II

More pictures have surfaced of the Gossip Girl cast filming a funeral scene yesterday in Brooklyn. The fab five, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley, and Ed Westwick were the focus as well as John Patrick Amedori, who currently plays Lively's Serena character's boyfriend (Is he a good fit with the fab 5?)

Some of the pictures reveal intensity between Serena and Chuck (Westwick) as well as Chuck and Dan (Badgley).

Offering support to young Mr. Bass is BFF Nate (Crawford) and almost girlfriend, Blair (Meester).
More and more of this proves that the funeral is for Chuck's dad, Bart Bass. This episode should air in December.

Edward Cullen Coming To See You

Robert Pattinson, star of the up and coming Twilight film, has started his promotional appearances in support of the movie's release on November 21.

Pattinson showed up @ the Apple store in Soho yesterday and this morning he was on The Elvis Duran Morning Show for Z100 in New York.

He'll be @ the Planet Hollywood this afternoon and do TRL on Thursday.

Edward Cullen and the other cast members are also scheduled to be in LA to tape a Twilight event for MTV.

The Twilight tour officially starts next Monday where cast members will be promoting the movie in different cities. Robert will be in my neck of the woods on November 10th @ our very own Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco. Woo-hoo!
He'll then head to Dallas, Chicago, and so forth.

Get ready, Twilighters!

Gossip Girl In Black Attire

The main players of Gossip Girl were in Brooklyn this morning rehearsing and shooting scenes for an upcoming episode. The cast were on location @ a cemetery to film what many are suspecting to be Bart Bass' funeral.

No pictures of Kelly Rutherford have surfaced, who plays Bart's current wife, Lily.

Rutherford's TV kids, Blake Lively and Connor Paolo were on set as well as their grandmother, CeCe.

Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen, & Ed Westwick (who is Bart's son) were seen going in and out of their trailers.

All the guys were all dressed in their suits while the girls of the show were still in their street clothes.

The Dream Is Still Alive

How excited am I that Wilson Phillips will be reuniting for two shows later this month in Southern California? Well, I'm very very excited. It's a SQUEEEEEEEE moment for me. And probably only me. And my one friend who also liked them back in the day.
When I was told that they'd be in Palm Springs (Nov. 22) and LA (Nov. 23), I was like stone faced. Could I really have the chance, after all this time, to see them perform live? And with Chynna Phillips! I knew that sisters Carnie Wilson & Wendy Wilson were doing small gigs here and there but then Wendy did a radio interview last month and confirmed that all 3 members would do a few shows to see how it goes. And they'll be doing another album next year!

Wendy released 4 tracks on iTunes recently and it's purely dance music. It's something she collaborated on with her husband.

I'm glad Wilson Phillips is continuing. Music changes so much but their sound is so timeless.
