January Jones cast as The White Queen!
There had been lots of casting rumors throughout comic book circles about who was going to take the role of Emma Frost (AKA the White Queen) in the new “X-Men: First Class” reboot and now Entertainment Weekly has announced that “Mad Men” star, January Jones, has won the role!
If this news does turn out to be true, she beats out other rumored actress hopefuls like Amber Heard (NNnnooooo!!!) and Alice Eve. Oh, you BITCH!
Claire Danes Is….Hot?!!?
No way! I must be seeing things because the name of Claire Danes doesn’t exactly come to mind when you think of the words “hot celeb”. But I do have to admit, she was looking really good at the event she attended today. Holy shit, I must be outta my mind!
Claire was at the exhibition opening of “Life in Hi-Def Color” for a paint company (say what?) and she resembled a hottie for some reason.
Either that or maybe it’s the hot male models standing next to her. Yeah, that’s probably it.
Happy Birthday, Carl!
Today is the 58th birthday of actor Reginald VelJohnson. As everyone knows, Reginald is more widely known for playing the immortal TV role of Carl Winslow on the show “Family Matters”, which originally aired on Friday nights in the early 90′s on ABC as part of their “TGIF” line-up.
And just to refresh your movie trivia memory, Reginald also starred in two big hit movies in the late 80′s, “Die Hard” (he was the nightshift cop that answered John McClane’s call) and as the limo chauffeur in “Crocodile Dundee II”. Reginald has been scarce from the television ever since “Family Matters” went off-the-air but, damn it, Steve Urkel can kiss my ass!
Eva Longoria is BORED with Soccer
If you thought the 2-hour one-nil World Cup game against Spain and Holland was boring as Hell (I sure did), then you and I aren’t alone! That’s right, even everyone’s favorite “Desperate Housewives” star, Eva Longoria, is just as bored with this sport as we are!
Check this out, Eva, her husband Tony Parker, and fashion host Robert Verdi were spotted attending the LA Galaxy vs New York Red Bulls game yesterday afternoon and Eva was seen constantly yawning during the whole game (while I’m sure her husband was transfixed). See? Not even having David Beckham on your team can make it interesting!
Oh, I love Eva Longoria now than I did before!
Amber Heard Is a Busy Woman
This girl has been on a promotional BLAZE! The blonde Angel was spotted attending different events within the last three days and I have NO idea why! Check this out, Amber was seen attending the Nylon magazine party on Tuesday, and then she hosted a private exhibition on Wednesday, and then showed up for a Habitat For Humanity charity event AND another magazine party on Thursday! That’s a lot of Amber!
Here she is looking ready for some sweaty slo-mo construction work @ the Habitat For Humanity event yesterday morning.
And here she is reunited with my other dream Angel, Odette Yustman, at a magazine party later in the evening.
MUST…HAVE….MORE AMBER!
Marisa Miller Will Slice U Up!
Is there anything more oxymoron-ic than seeing Marisa Miller doing swordfighting? It’s almost as preposterous as her playing football and baseball. But now she has a reason: since Marisa is the official pirate’s maiden for Captain Morgan’s Rum, she went over to the Swordplay Studio in Burbank (not far from my house) yesterday afternoon and took a class called “Swordfighting For Dummies 101″.
I’m guessing she’s filming a commercial for them, hence the whole reason she’s learning to swordfight. You’re move, Brooklyn Decker!
Jessica Alba goes to Prison
Okay, that didn’t happen, but little Miss Personality-on-a-stick thought she was above the law and decided to go into a speeding frenzy in her GMC Yukon Hybrid car in Beverly Hills. Of course, the CHP pulled her ass over and gave her a little bit of a pep talk.
The unfortunate part? The sissy cop fell for her FAKE charms and let her off with only a Warning!!! What the blue fuck!!? Did he just wave his finger at her and say, “Okay, Miss Alba, don’t you be speeding next time or else! Now have a nice day.” SCREW YOU, MR. SISSY POLICEMAN SONOFABITCH!!
Not only should he have given her a goddamned speeding ticket, he shoulda hauled her ass to jail for lack of personality! GODDAMN IT ALL!!!!
The Boston Celtics acquire Shaquille O’Neal
Shaq has had a lot of very bad seasons with the last two teams he played for. After falling out with Miami, he went to the Phoenix Suns. After he crapped out on them, he moved to Cleveland to play with Lebron and THAT fell into the shitter. And now Shaq has made the move to play for the Boston Celtics, which is ironic considering that he played for the Lakers all those years ago.
The announcement was officially made yesterday at a press conference (not a one-hour special, Lebron!) where Shaq switched alliances. AGAIN.
With Shaq joining the rest of senior citizen players of Boston (Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen), that only means ONE thing: a definite Lakers THREE-PEAT, baby!!! Nothing would give us better karma than to see Kobe win his sixth ring in front of Shaq’s face!
But, as much as I don’t like Shaq’s less-than-impressive team choices over the last few years, I really do hope that he can provide enough firepower for Boston to dismantle the over-hyped bullshit parade known as the Miami Heat super team in the Eastern Conference. If anything, I’d rather see another Boston rematch against my LA Lakers in the 2011 Finals rather than have Miami take it all. Prove ‘em wrong, Big Aristotle!
Happy Birthday, Biv!
Today is the 42nd birthday of (in my opinion) one of the most underrated New Jack Swing/R & B producers in music, Michael “Biv” Bivins!
In case you forgot, Biv was also a member of New Edition and, of course, Bell Biv Devoe. Let’s celebrate Biv’s birthday and BBD (who are still together and touring, mind you) by watching the video of one of their most memorable songs of the early 90′s and their biggest hit, “Poison”!
“Never trust a big butt and a smile!” Best lyric ever!
Candice Swanepoel Has a B.O.B.
One thing we can all agree on is that this girl has got some major badonkadonk and, goddamn it, she will flash it! She will flash that ass and you are going to stare at it!
Candice along with her supermodel co-horts, Erin Heatherton and Chanel Iman (as if that’s a real name) were in the Victoria’s Secret store in the SoHo District this morning promoting the release of the new “Incredible Bra”.
Butt wait…..if Candice is promoting a new bra and is flashing her big ass to photographers, does that mean I have to buy it now?
Roxette In Concert
If your mind can go far back, maybe you’ll remember way, way, WAY back in the late 80′s and super early days of the 90′s, a little known Swedish band emerged onto the Pop music scene with a hit song called “The Look”. That band was called Roxette. Based on the popularity of that first hit song, their follow-up singles (“Listen To your Heart”, and “Dangerous”) also garnered the band international success in the U.S.
And then, of course, came the hit single “It Must’ve Been Love” from the “Pretty Woman” soundtrack that transformed the band into worldwide sensations.
Since then, Roxette has never had any success in the US that matched “It Must’ve Been Love”. That being said, Roxette is back together and rocking out! In fact, the band held a special pre-concert over the weekend in their hometown of Sweden to kick-off their latest tour in support of their upcoming reunion tour!
In case you don’t remember their biggest hit single, watch the video for a nostalgic trip back to the early 90′s….
It just brought a tear to my eye…..
Happy Birthday, Anna Kendrick
My favorite actress with the biggest head in Hollywood (literally), Anna Kendrick, celebrates her 25th birthday today! And isn’t a big co-winky-dink that her birthday coincides in the same week that her latest flick, “Scott Pilgrim VS. The World” opens in theaters? I don’t think so!
If I got my facts correct, Anna is probably the only cast member from the “Twilight” movies that has been nominated for a Golden Globe AND an Oscar. Suck it, K-Stew bitch!
The Santa Monica Place Re-opens – FULL REVIEW
If you live in southern California and are a frequent visitor to the sunny and breezy Santa Monica area, then you probably already heard about the newly re-opened mall. The Santa Monica Place re-opened it’s doors to the public on Friday after an extensive 2-year remodeling development phase and from a mallrat standpoint, it’s only semi-impressive. I got to visit the newly re-opened “open-air” mall yesterday afternoon amidst the hundreds of curious locals and tourists and saw firsthand what kind of atmosphere and ambiance a place like this will do to you. Let me give a breakdown of what to expect:
–ENVIRONMENT
The area used to be a typical cramped mall with typical run-of-the-mill stores. But as newer and more sophisticated malls were being built in other areas of SoCal, it was only a matter of time before this place would fall victim to mediocrity. The NEW Santa Monica mall is not as cramped and is, in fact, an “open-air” mall. By that, it means that there is NO roof above which allows for lots of cool breezy wind to come flowing from the beach. To be honest, this was the one feature I enjoyed the most. Unlike some other open-air malls that I’ve visited (the Hollywood & Highland mall comes to mind), the breeze of the Pacific Ocean does make this place less stuffy and hot. Although, I shudder to think what’ll happen when it rains.
–STORES
So far, you will only find clothing stores and few big name chain stores in this mall. There are NO electronics stores, no videogame stores (aww, boo!), no bookstores, and no movie theaters. If you’re looking for those stores (or a few others not in the mall), you’ll have to cross the street to the Third Street Promenade. For example, if you were aching to get some new lingerie at Victoria’s Secret (and who hasn’t had that feeling), you’ll have to leave the mall and go up the street to the Promenade. It’s a bit of a stretch to do all that walking, but I guess it gives shoppers a reason to get out and explore.
–FOOD & DINING
The new mall contains three floors of stores and the third floor is strictly all for food. With that said, don’t expect too many typical fast food joints. There is an outdoor area with lots of fancy glass tables and sofas and an indoor area that contains some fast-food places, although only three of them (a pizza place, a sushi bar, and a BBQ chicken joint) were open as of this writing. Aside from that, there are also separate themed restaurants on the third floor and I got to try out the Japanese-themed restaurant called “Ozumo“.
Ozumo is very similar to another SoCal favorite restaurant of mine, Katsuya, although Ozumo is more stacked. Ozumo features a super-large dining area with fancy tables and chairs as well as TWO sushi bars that are right next to each other. Of course, the food is pricey but the service is quite excellent and much more attentive than at Katsuya. Give this place a try and you might like it (unless you’re a total cheapo).
–AMBIANCE
Just like every mall you visit, expect to bump into lots of people and limited places to shop (if you’re not a clothes guy like me). But the ONE thing I will give a big recommendation is the large outdoor patio on the third floor. The patio offers spectacular views of the Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Ocean and, if you’re lucky enough to score one of the fancy lounge seats on the patio in the evening, you’ll get to witness a beautiful sunset. Let’s see your mall do that!
.
Should you visit Santa Monica Place? YES, absolutely! It may end up being a favorite hangout of you and your friends or family….or not. The list of stores is impressive for the clothes shopper but nothing else. To be honest, I was a tad bit disappointed at the fact that over $260 million was spent for this renovation and I only feel like I experienced HALF of that investment with this new mall. That being said, I can’t say enough good things about the third floor outdoor patio. The ocean view is definitely worth the visit and the outdoor restaurants are worth a try……if you can find a parking space, that is!!!!
Maxim Cover Girl September 2010
I can’t tell if this is a step UP or a step waaaay DOWN for Maxim because their cover girl for September is none other than everyone’s favorite homicidal jailbait whore, Lindsay Lohan! I’ve looked through her editorial and it seems these pictures were taken a long time ago. Not surprising considering that Lilo looks way too healthy in the photos and we sure as Hell know that ain’t the case.
Click on the scan to view the bigger version!
Either way, Maxim wins, we lose because we don’t get any nipple and no firecrotch shots (unlike other magazines she’s shot for). Damn, that reminds me, Kelly Brook is on the cover of the latest issue of Playboy! Hold on, I’ll find a copy and be back in a sec…..
New Trailer for “Jackass 3D”
Here’s the awesomely awesome new trailer for Jackass 3D. Don’t ask, JUST WATCH!
Marisa Miller Is Officially OLD
But I’m not saying that in a bad way. Or maybe I am! Supermodel Marisa Miller turns a hearty 32-years old today and that is considered a bit weird considering that this woman constantly LIED about her age during the first couple of years of her modeling career (she always claimed to be 2 years younger than her real age).
Even when she was doing nudie shots for Perfect 10 Magazine, she was already lying about her age. Speaking of nude, ever since Marisa decided to get a manager, they’ve done everything they can to thwart the hardcore fans from ever knowing about her sordid nudie past. But why hide the truth? Marisa looks as good topless and naked than she does in a bikini and we all deserve that! I’m sick of looking at the photos that don’t show anything!
As of late, Marisa’s been getting minimal (to almost zero) work for Victoria’s Secret and she’s stopped doing shoots for Sports Illustrated. So what the hell does she do now, you ask? Well, she sells herself basically. Check it out, homegirl is featured on the cover of the latest issue of FHM UK and here’s the kicker: the whole thing was orchestrated by her management. That means that FHM never really came to her and asked for her to pose for them. Instead, her management set-up the photoshoot, took the pictures, and then had them passed around to various men’s magazines and FHM was the one to take the bait. That’s just sad. Oh well, Happy Birthday, FATSO.
Look at What Seal Did To Heidi Klum
It’s official: supermodel Heidi Klum is no longer “super”. She’s become a shadow of her former self and after four pregnancies (three of them courtesy of Seal) and hackneyed attempts at dieting, the supermodel magic is long gone. Heidi and her clan were spotted somewhere off the coast of France earlier today and the 36-year old mother decided to show off her HIDEOUSLY disfigured body. Everything from deflated breastesses to a partially reassembled tummy, it’s a miracle she still got to do last year’s Victoria’s Secret show (in a body-hiding corset, mind you).
Let me remind you that this woman is a former Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated model, okay? Compared to how she looked back in the day in the early 2000′s, you wouldn’t be able to tell this was the same woman. And it’s all Seal’s fault. GODDAMN HIM TO HELL!!!
The Scent of Khloe Kardashian
The genetically deficient sibling of the Kardashian klan known as Khloe has made the announcement that she and her husband, Lakers superstar Lamar Odom, are going to be releasing a new Unisex fragrance on the market!
That’s right, the fragrance will be called “Unbreakable” and will be available next year on Valentine’s Day! Pre-order your bottle today and maybe YOU can smell like either roasted Tabouleh or a stanky men’s locker room!

Kelly Brook is Promoting Shoes….
….or maybe not! The British boobshell was out in London to unveil her new billboard for a new Reebok shoe. Of course, in typical Kelly fashion, the billboard shows her fully naked wearing a pair of Reebok shoes…..
….huh, What? What was I talking about?
