Dan And Serena Switch Partners

Yesterday in Brooklyn, Gossip Girl was filming a scene that included stars Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, and their new love interests, John Patrick Amedori and Natalie Knepp who play Aaron Rose and Lexi. Ironically, Lexie is supposed to be Aaron's ex-girlfriend. Now that Serena is dating Aaron, Serena's ex, Dan will be sorta dating Lexi. Only in television would all these exes look chummy. And I can't say ex enough, can I?

When the camera's weren't rolling, Lively and Badgley looked to be all googly-eyed for only each other.

Even playing footsies while their guest co-stars awkwardly stand there. I wonder what was going through Amedori and Knepp's minds.

This episode is scheduled to air on December 1 and will involve these 4 attending Dan and Serena's charity Snowflake Ball for school. Yeah, I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Sidebar - I do think Dan and Lexi look cute together.

Robert Pattinson All Scruffed Up

Here's a picture of Edward Cullen, er Robert Pattinson, from the LA Times a couple of days ago. Nice, huh? I like scruff.

Pattinson is said to be attached to two more Twilight films but he stated that they'd have to wait and see once the first one comes out (Nov 21). Uh, I don't think there's going to be a problem there.

Have you all seen the footage of Robert while he was in Mexico? Man, he's popular. He's also supposed to make a stop in the San Francisco area when the Twilight tour starts up on November 10; A lot of people will surely be missing school and work once that date is announced here. Be ready!

Looking For Work

I went to the Kelly-Moore paint store this afternoon to check out some colors for my office. The purple walls are getting to me and I need a change. I think I may have found something too. I was intent on part of the walls to be burgundy but that's way too bold. And dark.

But my query is how long do those guys stand outside stores like Kelly-Moore, Home Depot, & Lowes hoping to find work for the day? Some were even already dressed in paint drab. I figured they'd start to pack it in before lunch. But no; they're just sitting out there watching the cars drive in and out, hoping they'll be approached and offered. Hmmm...

Donatella Is A Superstar

The Fashion Group International's 25th Annual Night of Stars honored Donatella Versace with the Superstar award @ Cipriani Wall Street in New York City this evening. Versace showed up with her very frail looking daughter, Allegra (hopefully, she's receiving some sort of treatment).

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez were on hand to celebrate with Donatella. As were Prince, Karl Lagerfeld, Ashley Olsen, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Christian Louboutin, Kate Bosworth, and more.

Courteney Ballin' At Barney's

Courteney Cox was doing a little shopping recently @ Barney's in Beverly Hills.
Cox was with some friends, including jewelry designer, Jennifer Meyer. Meyer happens to be Tobey Maguire's main woman and mother to his daughter.

No Sheryl Crow or Laure Dern spotted. Not even Jennifer Aniston. She's been fighting off those pregnancy rumors.

What Happened?

Former Friends star and theatre actor, David Shwimmer, was spotted in New York earlier this week. And my, oh my, Ross Eustace Geller does not look cute.

It's probably been years since he's spoken to his old co-stars.

90210 Couple Kick It At Kitson

90210 off-screen couple, Jessica Stroup (Silver) and Dustin Milligan (Ethan) were @ the Kitson boutique debuting a new T-shirt line. They were joined by fellow co-stars, Ryan Eggold and the guy who plays Navid.

Afterwards, Stroup celebrated her 22nd birthday with friends @ El Compadra in LA.

Did she have flan, too?

Justin And Rihanna Smokin'

Justin Timberlake and Rihanna were in LA yesterday shooting a music video for their collaboration of 'Rehab'.

Artists are still shooting music videos but its hard to be able to view them because MTV and VH-1 hardly show them Am I right? And with TRL closing its doors, we won't even see video glimpses anymore.

Too bad...

Scott Speedman Surfaces

Scott Speedman was spotted in Los Feliz, CA yesterday walking to somewhere.

The 33 year old London born actor will be in the latest GQ magazine featuring him as a 'Maine Man'. I wonder who claims him as her main man.
Speedman took up acting classes with none other than Rachel McAdams. Who knew?

Tired Tuesday

It's still so dark when I get to work in the mornings. And even though we're in mid October, the weather is so warm out. It's like 80 degrees. Doubt this will stick on Halloween .

So I've been lax on my blogging due to my workload during the day and little drummer girl's schedule after hours. My head is so filled with work stuff I can't sit back and peruse for nothingness and pop culture stuff.

How are you actually supposed to munch on a pomegranate?

Wanna know where I went for lunch? KFC! I have no idea why.

Oh, I missed My Own Worst Enemy last night. That Christian Slater is pretty entertaining.

Blake And Leighton's Weekend

Well, they're no longer doing 30 Rock but they still have Gossip Girl. Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were spotted separately on Sunday in and around their adopted home base of New York City.

Blake was snapped in the West Village heading to lunch with co-star and boyfriend, Penn Badgley. It must be cold in New York; Badgley was all scarfed up and Lively had the boots and sweater action going on.

Earlier in the week, Blake flew home to Los Angeles after her father got into a car accident (He is expected to make a full recovery). The ever supportive Penn was by his girly's side (that's aww worthy). Both actors were business as usual toward the end of last week when they reported back to work.

Leighton Meester was @ an aww worthy event yesterday. She attended the 'Children Affected By Aids Foundation Dream Halloween' and spent time with some inspiring young folks.

Don't forget an all new episode of Gossip Girl airs tonight. It's Blair and Chuck centered and very heat packed between them. And Dan & Serena make up and attempt the friendship route. But watch out, Aaron Rose makes his appearance next week and sets head scarf feeling all warm and gooey inside.

Twilight Memorabilia

The frenzy is rapid and November is fast approaching. Posters and shirts are sold all over the place.

But come next month, more Twilight paraphernalia will come knockin' @ your wallets.
Inkworks will release the Twilight Premium Trading Cards. It will have bonus cards such as the 'Always' 9-card puzzle set, the 'Different' 6-card insert set, and the Autograph cards. The box set is currently pre-ordering @ $72.00 and a pack costs $3.00.

If you need mini versions of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan to sleep with @ night, Tonner Doll Company has acquired the rights to produce the likeness of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Dolls of the other characters will follow. These dolls will be highly collectible and they are completely authorized, just like the Harry Potter editions.

Hey, just in time for Christmas!

Jen, Courteney, Ellen, Ben, And More At Olive's Party

Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher's daughter, Olive, had a celebrity filled, cowgirl themed 1st birthday party @ her parents Bev Hills estate earlier today.

Jennifer Aniston, Courteny Cox, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Ben Stiller, Kate Beckinsale, Tobey Maguire, Jack Black, and Seth Rogan to name a few, were all in attendance to help little Olive celebrate her big day.

Not a lot of pictures have surfaced yet. The only ones have been of JA. I'm guessing she was there because Cohen used to rent her Hollywood Hills home during her marriage to Brad Pitt. And they've stayed friends?

Robert Pattinson Rocks Texas

Twilight star Robert Pattinson was @ the Austin Film Festival last night and some very lucky fans got the chance to meet Edward Cullen himself. One said he stood up like a gentleman to shake her hand and another worked a 12 hour shift before trekking over to meet Pattinson.

RP was @ the film festival to showcase his other film, How To Be. He plays a dude named Art.
