Dirty on Purpose at last year’s opening night of Rooftop Films
Although Rooftop Films had events through the winter this year, their inaugural event that is actually on a rooftop takes place on May 15 at The Open Road Rooftop Project, 350 Grand Street @ Essex at 8 pm. At 8:30 recent recipients of Pitchfork’s Best new Music, Cymbals Eat Guitars, will play a set, followed by a showing of short films. And that is… More »
From Broken Up to Living Together
In ‘You’ve Been Gilmored’, a series of events lands Rory on Logan’s doorstep, so to speak. And I’ve always thought this a little odd – she just took him back, after all!
The board has voted Paris off as Editor of the Yale Daily News, and Rory is the one to break it to her. Why Paris was made Editor and not Rory, I’ll never know, but it did provide for some humorous Paris madness (the bunker!). Anyway, the staff decide… More »
Selena Gomez ‘Borden’ Girl
Selena Gomez sips on milk for this new commercial for Borden milk!
The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet says “I’m all about being close to the things I love — my friends, my phone, and definitely my milk — which is why I’m all about Borden.”
“It’s made locally in my hometown and close to yours, that means I don’t have to drive very far. Which is good for the planet and even better for the taste buds. Being close means super… More »
Katie and Suri Leaving the Dance Studio
Suri Cruise was dressed to perform as she and mom Katie Holmes left a dance studio in Pacific Palisade, CA today (April 30). She had on a black leotard, black skirt and her little ballet shoes. Their bodyguard is carrying a picture of a star that I bet Suri colored while she was there. If you look closely, you can see that Suri’s hands are all stained from the markers too. We haven’t seen a… More »
Paula Abdul Duped by “Brüno”
Just as his last character, Borat, took advantage of the trusting nature of Americans, Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Brüno” successfully duped American Idol judge, Paula Abdul. Brüno is a very openly gay Austrian TV reporter who, according to Page Six, approached Paula Abdul and told her that she was very popular in his country and got her to agree to do an interview. "Paula was totally fooled. She bought into his character and to this day isn’t aware she was… More »
Kirstie Alley Tells Oprah About Weight Gain
Today, actress, Kirstie Alley, sat down and talked to Oprah about her weight gain. Kirstie had famously appeared on the show (in a bathing suit) after losing more than 80 pounds but she’s gained it back and is feeling terrible about herself. She said that she has found it “humiliating” to regain all of the weight and she also talks about how she feels she has let people down since she had been used as an inspirational spokeswoman… More »
Carrie Underwood on “Most Beautiful” List
American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, has been named to People’s 2009 “Most Beautiful” list and it’s not hard to see why. The modest beauty from Checotah, Oklahoma said that she doesn’t enjoy big events until after they are done: "I feel more beautiful when I see the pictures after. I’m like, ‘I wish I had felt like I looked like that when I was actually there.’" That’s better than me! I feel great at events or parties and… More »
Brandon Flowers Has High Hopes For The Killers
Brandon Flowers thinks he and his band can knock legends Led Zeppelin and Nirvana off of their “pedestals”????
What? That’s a little reaching, isn’t it?
Flowers talked to NME and said that the band has already conquered its British market and now needs to concentrate on the U.S. He said that we Americans are still so concentrated on Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, that there’s no room for them.
He says, “We’ve been embraced in Britain in a way that I’ll never… More »
Black Eyed Peas at Wolverine Premiere
Fergie and her fellow Black Eyed Peas; Will.I.Am, Apl.de.ap & Taboo were at the premiere of the new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Tuesday night. The group was all there to support and celebrate their band mate, Will.I.Am who is one of the stars in the mew movie.
I really like how all of the band members are such good friends and are always there to support the others. It’s cool when they are not… More »
Matt Giraud Elimination – The Day After
Once the competition gets to the Top 5, American Idol gets pretty intense. Assumedly, contestants make it that far because they have a big enough fan base so, no matter who goes home, a lot of people are going to be very sad. Last night, Matt Giraud was sent home and I actually was pretty okay with that. What shocked me, however, was the fact that Adam Lambert was in the bottom two. I still… More »
“Heroes” Chapter 4 Comes to a Close
Milo Ventimiglia (Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls) has closed out yet another season on Heroes along with other Gilmore Girls guest stars Christine Rose and Masi Oka. The season had a slow start, but picked up into something more compelling (I think) once the mid-season shifted to Chapter 4: Fugitives. Christine Rose, in particular, really stunned me with the last few episodes. Her storyline, her childhood… they all helped us understand where she was coming from and that perhaps she… More »
