Robert Pattinson Wants To Sing Again

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:16:00 -0400

Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson is eager to get in to studio and make some music. Swoon.

Pattinson has definitely made himself quite a name as an actor with the Twilight saga franchise, along with other movies such as 2010’s tear-jerker Remember Me, Water for Elephants with co-star Reese Witherspoon, and next year’s Cosmopolis; but he recently opened up about falling back into music.

In a recent interview, Rob talked about his future plans, saying, “What I’m really excited about is to start making music again. I play the guitar and the piano and between shooting the scenes I wrote lots of songs. So I can’t wait to perform again. The energy you feel when you show up in a full house is amazing!”

For all the Twi-hards, you might remember Rob on the soundtrack of the first vampire movie with songs “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign”. We have to admit that the guy can definitely sings. His voice is very deep and soulful. Again swoon.

Earlier in the month, Green Day’s Billie Joe said if his Broadway’s adaptation of the hit 2004 album “American Idiot” were to go to the big screen, his first choice would be Mr. Edward Cullen himself. See even Billie Joe agrees the guy can sing. IMDB states the movie is to be out in 2013.

Of course, Rob would not be able to get into the studio till he has completed all his work with the Summit franchise, along with his other movie projects, but he does seem eager and determined to return to his first love, music.

He will probably never have to worry about an empty house. I’m sure his crowd has expanded over the last few years. Are you guys excited to see what Rob will release out of the studio?

Lindsay Lohan Gets Naked...Again

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:42:00 -0400

LiLo is doing anything she can to make money these days, including stripping down and posing in Playboy, according to TMZ. She was initially offered $750K for the shoot but refused until the final asking price approached seven figures. Sources report that the shoot started over the weekend but Lindsay's rep has said, "I can neither confirm or deny at this time." It's not the first time the starlet has gotten naked in front of a camera. She posed nude for a 2008 photo shoot for New York Magazine imitating Marilyn Monroe and has bared her chest in other pictures, movies and music videos. Hopefully this chunk of change will get her through the new year.

What's Next for Newly Out Zachary Quinto?

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:42:00 -0400

This past Sunday, in an interview with New York Magazine, Star Trek star Zachary Quinto had officially revealed himself as a gay man.

The actor - who first got his big shot as Sylar from Heroes - was inspired to come out after hearing about 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer's suicide after nonstop bullying for being gay. Quinto said, "...living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it, is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality."

New York Magazine caught up with the 34-year-old actor again after the news of his coming out hit the public: "When I sat down with Ben on Monday and had that conversation, I knew what I was going to do and it was a very clear choice for me to do it in the way that I did it, and I'm really glad that that's the way it all unfolded,...I never ever imagined that it would be — I mean, I guess I figured people would figure it out, hear about it, but I didn't know it would be like global news! I was like, What? It was really crazy to me. People from all over the world were reaching out to me on the Internet, on Twitter. Social media makes it a lot easier now. I'm just really honored and thrilled and grateful."

His personal Twitter relayed the following message: "i have spent the day in awe of this outpouring of support and resonance. we. are. in. this. together. NEVER FORGET! i am deeply moved."

So what is he up to at the moment?

Zachary Quinto, as of now is signed on for at least a 4-episode arc on the new FX hit American Horror Story. He had also just come out of co-starring/co-producing in the film Margin Call and is set to hit theaters tomorrow. Of course however, we are most curious about some details on that upcoming Star Trek sequel by J.J. Abrams! Production is scheduled to begin on January.

We didn't think anyone could fill the shoes of the great Leonard Nimoy, but Mr. Quinto had definitely exceeded expectations back in 2009. How is he preparing, now that a second movie is in the works? He says, “There’s a big sequence for me that I have to prepare for in this movie physically so I’m training, working on getting in some serious shape, building my cardio endurance, preparing to run a lot.” Yes! We love angry Spock!

Smile Pretty, Lindsay

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:29:00 -0400

Sadly, this capture of Lindsay Lohan's most recent mugshot (her sixth one, to be exact) gives us all a sense of déjà vu.

It was just yesterday, 10/19/11, when the actress appeared in court and was charged for violating her probation. She was put into custody, handcuffs and all that drama, and was briefly sent to jail before making the $100,000 bail. Lindsay was sentenced by Judge Stephanie Sautner to contribute 16 hours of community service at the county morgue each week until the next hearing on 11/02/11, which will determine if she will serve jailtime or not.The actress is then required to show up at the coroner's office at 7 a.m. to perform her shifts.

Lohan was actually scheduled to start her community hours today, according to her attorney Shawn Holley, but was considered a "no show" after failing to appear on time. She was supposed to be there by 8:00 in the morning but didn't manage to appear until 40 minutes later. Lindsay was denied entrance upon arrival.

TMZ was on site waiting to get footage of the actress, but got another boatload of information instead. According to them, Lindsay's publicist claimed her lateness was a result of "a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival." She even tweeted:

"With all of the stress and pressure from yesterday and today, I've never been so happy to go to therapy. Also, I'm sorry for the confusion that I may of (sic) caused to those at the Coroner's office. Won't happen again, now I know where to go!"

Ugh, we're over it, Lindsay. If you can afford that bail, surely you can afford an entire team to pick you up early from bed and literally get you dressed in the vehicle while you're still sleeping. You're lucky this little stint of yours won't be considered a violation, although you most likely will not be appearing on Judge Sautner's Christmas list just yet.

'Sons of Anarchy' Will Ride Into Season 5

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:55:00 -0400

Jax, Clay and the rest of the club have a whole new season of drama to look forward to.

Last month, Sons of Anarchy became the FX’s highest-rated program ever bringing in 5.8 million viewers for its Tuesday night airings and about 9 million viewers overall. Extremely impressive. The hit show is only half way through its fourth season now, so it seemed pretty obvious that this show was not nearing its end. Yesterday, FX gave the show the green light for a 13-episode fifth season.

Here is what John Landgraf - president of FX - had to say,

"Everyone at FX is very grateful to Kurt Sutter, his many writing, directing and producing collaborators and his masterful cast for making such a compelling and beautifully crafted show...It is no small challenge to bring the themes of a great, ancient play like Hamlet into a wholly original television setting and to tell this complex story in a way that is both riveting and accessible to a broad audience."

Sutter, the show’s creator - whom recently stirred up some twitter drama expressing his disappointment in getting snubbed from an Emmy nomination...and we are definitely sugar coating this - must be extremely proud of himself and of his outstanding cast and crew.

Whether it be the drama filled Hamlet based plot, the excellent writing staff, or the fact that we get to see smokin’ Charlie Hunnam being a badass every week, the show keeps drawing in a terrific audience each week. Let’s see if the SAMCRO boys will be able to keep those ratings on top.

Mariska Hargitay Adopts Again

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:40:00 -0400

Mariska Hargitay is now a mother of three!

Just after adopting her first daughter,Amaya six months ago, the actress and husband, Peter Hermann adopted son Andrew Nicolas. According to People, Andrew Nicolas Hermann was born over the summer.

Overjoyed with the second addition to her family, Mariska said, "We never in a million years thought it would happen this quickly, but something inside of us knew that this was right, and we said, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’”

The couple first became parents in June 2006 when Mariskay gave birth to a son, whom they named August.

While raising a kid and two additional babies will be tougher than ever, Hargitay has no plans to slow down...completely. She still plans to work on Law & Order: SVU four days a week.

How is Amaya handling the welcome of Andrew?

"They’ll lie in the crib together, and she’ll hold his hand and put her arm around him. She’s already so protective of him," says Hargitay. Aww!

Hannah Montana Star Busted For DUI

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:58:00 -0400

Seems like the cast of Disney’s Hannah Montana likes to have a good time.

Yesterday in Burbank, CA, actor Mitchel Musso, best known for his role in Hannah Montana as Oliver Oken, was arrested for drunk driving.

Musso was pulled over at 3:43 AM for not slowing down for law officials who were directing traffic for an unrelated accident. When his 2007 black Mercedes Benz was approached by cops, TMZ reports that police detected a “strong odor of alcohol.” The actor was then given a field sobriety test which he bombed.

The ‘Pair of Kings’ star was given a breathalyzer test and his BAC was well above .08. To make matters worse, the Disney star is only 20 years old which means any alcohol, regardless of the amount, in his system is illegal.

Musso was booked in a nearby station on suspicion of DUI and had a bail set at $5,000. He was released a few hours later.

Luckily for him, Burbank police will not release his mugshot. He better clean up his act, he seems to have a bright future ahead of him.

Witness Lady Gaga 'Marry the Night'

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:10:00 -0400

The pop superstar doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stopping.

On Monday, October 10th, Lady Gaga was in Harlem to begin production on the music video for her latest single "Marry the Night". The pop superstar was seen donning a black leather capri jumpsuit, light blue lipstick, and a newly short haircut - visually unfazed by the crappy weather - while filming a dance number.

The rest of the music video's setting involves extras glammed up in all sorts of crazy outfits: some were ballerinas, some were covered in leopard prints, and some were even dressed down in bandages and hospital gowns! Another little tidbit about the video shoot involved scenes of Lady Gaga in a bathtub and also a little girl strapped to a table. Huh?? Crazy lady.

Check out some more behind-the-scenes looks from her upcoming music video on JustJared. "Marry the Night" was announced last month to be the fifth single from Born This Way.

Sophia Grace: The Second Nicki Minaj?

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:51:00 -0400

Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom - baby, she got that 'Super Bass'!

This past week on Ellen, eight-year-old Sophia Grace was surprised by the one and only, Nicki Minaj! Sophia Grace has a YouTube channel where she sang "Super Bass" (censored version I would hope!) and the video has had over 9 million views. And she only posted this video on September 19th! My oh my, this girl has turned into a YouTube sensation in a matter of 3 weeks!

Nicki Minaj came out and spoke to Sophia Grace and her 'hype woman' Rosie, who is Sophia's cousin. Minaj also sang with them which was adorable. Audience members were crying while little Sophia was belting out the words to the famous hit.

We could really tell Nicki was proud of these little girls! Who knows what could happen, didn't Justin Bieber start out with a YouTube video? Check out their little encounter below!

Alex Pettyfer and Riley Keough Heat Up On & Off-Screen

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 10:30:00 -0400

With such a steamy cast, there was bound to be some hook-ups.

Alex Pettyfer was seen smooching it up with Elvis’ granddaughter and his Magic Mike co-star Riley Keough while waiting to depart LAX Airport on October 8th.

Seems like Ms. Keough has Alex smitten too. E! claims the I Am Number Four actor was terrified of flying and had even considered driving from L.A. to Florida for 48 hours straight where they were to continue filming for the movie. Then he sporadically decided to jump on the plane with the blonde beauty. Guess she has the magic touch to calm those nerves.

JustJared reported that a source claims, “They looked really cute together, cuddling and kissing each other before boarding their flight. They seem to be enjoying their new relationship.”

Alex definitely loves his blonde starlets: as he previously dated Emma Roberts and Glee's Dianna Agron.

They seem cute and happy together. We wish them the best and hope it doesn’t end like every other Hollywood relationship.
