Robert Pattinson covers Details...

Robet Pattinson is covering Details Magazine, the magazine for gay guys who like to feel semi-straight and straight guys in the closet, for their March 2010 edition. He is looking hotter than ever and poses for a "80s porn style" photo shoot. You have to hand it to the guy, he is trying his hardest to break away from his teen idol status and is constantly working on small indie projects to off-set his Twilight / Harry Potter fame. He is currently filming Bel Ami (see pictures of him at work HERE), previously played Salvador Dali in Little Ashes, and is starring in the upcoming release Remember Me.

He spoke about playing Tyler in Remeber Me in his interview with Details saying, "Tyler is so aware of his actions. But he has no idea whether they're of any value at all. Can you be a person if you live in the bubble? He's stuck in the middle. At the same time, he's lucky to have the choice. Conflict is innate in a lucky person. I'm a lucky person. Thank God. And I'm conflicted. Thank God." The movie will be released on March 12th, 2010 and is about two lovers whose newfound relationship is threatened as they try to cope with their family tragedies.

R-Pat also talked about his risqué photo shoot saying, "this shoot, it's kind of eighties nakedness, you know? If you look at porn in, like, the eighties, there was something kind of quaint about it, quite sweet—like this little naked community. The people who made it liked it, they had respect for it. Not remotely like the porn that's available now. No community in it at all. It's just everything, everywhere." 

He also spoke of his hatred of vaginas. That's right Candy eaters! R-Pat hates the vag. "I really hate vaginas. I'm allergic to vagina. But I can't say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn't exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover."

In the future we can look forward to seeing more naked Pat. "I'll be a tiny bit naked. Except tonight I won't, because it's fucking freezing and my balls will shrivel up." (of course he was more than a tiny bit naked in Little Ashes)...

Hailey Glassman was lied to...

 

In the most nausea-inducing magazine cover to date, Jon Goesselin's ex, Hailey Glassman is gracing on the front of cover of Steppin' Out, NY and NJ's #1 Entertainment Magazine that you've never heard of. Dear God, let this picture be a lesson to all the slutty girls out there hoping to bag a D-list celebrity to shoot them to modeling fame. Some bitchy queen who calls himself a stylist came in and played a nasty joke on Glassman. "Girl, you look fierce! Oh wait... it's missing something. I know! Black, fingerless gloves!" They must've hidden all the mirrors from this poor girl in hopes of capturing her at her absolute worst. To add insult to injury, they added an arrow pointing at her saying "Judge this haters!" I have a feeling the haters will be judging.

But wait. The candy does not end there. She actually did an interview with these people, which proved that she may have deserved the bad cover shot. She gives the classless dish on Jon Gosselin to the mag saying, "He's hung like a nine-year-old boy. I'm serious. This is true," she even claims he only measures "3 inches."

No one in America will be surprised to hear that Jon Gosselin is small, he wears Ed Hardy after all, but everyone will be disgusted by such lude and inappropriate comments. Don't kiss and tell. It's not a cute color. Even on someone with finglerless black gloves.

She added that "anybody who sleeps with him will notice. It's very noticeable. It's so tiny, tiny, tiny." She even talks about how she would "laugh about it with my mom." That's just disgusting. She did say that Jon was very sensitive about the subject (shocker), "He said, 'You know how subconscious I am of down there.' I would tell him to his face, 'I don't think you would cheat on me because you're so small.' I would tell him that all the time." And she was right. Oh wait...

Wow. After this interview and this picture, Hailey Glassman won't be single for long!

Robert Pattinson hangs up his fangs (for now)...

Robert Pattinson has hung up his fangs (for now) to play the womanizing Georges Duroy in the costume period piece Bel Ami. He will be starring with Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas. Check out the pictures that were just released of him on set sans beard, fangs and annoying teenage girls who fall in love with vampires named Bella.

Chicago: the show that just won't close...

Chicago has been running on Broadway since 1996 and it refuses to close. The producers of the hit musical are either the smartest people producing for Broadway or the most annoying. They have fueled tourist interest in the show by having a constant influx of quasi-celebrity actors join their show for limited engagements. It has been like a giant machine, churing out one celebrity who shouldn't be starring in a Broadway musical after another. The latest stars include Ashlee Simpson, Mya, Michelle Williams, Brian McKnight, and now they just announced that starting March 29th, Matthew Settle from Gossip Girl will be appearing as Billy Flynn for a 10 week run.

Oh Broadway. Remember the good ol' days when people were cast in Broadway shows based on their talent? Although Matthew Settle may be amazing, I saw Brian McKnight and Ashlee Simpson and they were both horrifying, leading me to ask: "What is more important? The fact that the show is running or the artistic integrity of the show?" And if the only people seeing it are tourists, should we even care?

Rihanna releases new music and roars like a lion...

Rihanna just seems to be getting more and more annoying lately. The latest cause of annoyance (besides the get-up you see her in above that is), is her new music video for the single "Rude Boy" and it's obvious attempt to emmulate M.I.A.'s "Boyz". Although the video is cute and fun, it's all been done. At least it's not as boring and pitiful as "Russian Roulette". Now if we could just get to her to understand that a wearing a cat costume is not fashion.

Take a look at "Rude Boy":



Compare to M.I.A. "Boyz":

Will Sarah Palin ever stop...

Like a nightmare that continues to play out after you wake up, Sarah Palin just won't stop. As a new level of horror is reached, you think she can't get worse, and seemingly just to prove everyone wrong, she does! In a brand new horror that just surfaced, she has proven that her intelligence is equivalent to a fifth grader. For a recent speech (made mere hours after criticizing Obama as a "charismatic guy with a teleprompter") Palin read notes not from a teleprompter, but from her hand. Yes. Her hand. The best part is that she seemed to put some real thought into the notes - she actually crossed one out after she wrote it. She was like, "hmmmmm.... no. I don't want to say that." Are you kidding me?!!!! Why would she ever think to write notes for her speech on her hand? Why not just have a note card? No one would blame her for having some notes... after all no one besides her cares that the president uses a teleprompter. God please, let the madness that is Sarah Palin end!

The Taylor Swift can't sing Grammy saga...

As you all know, Taylor Swift can't sing. This was heard by millions watching the Grammy's as she shaked, wobbled, and missed all the right notes in a medley of her songs. Everyone can have an off night, but hearing her voice so raw and exposed revealed a huge lack of training and her performance left a lot to be desired. This point was solidified as Swift's idol, Stevie Nicks walked onto the stage to sing a duet with her. Nicks was calm, collected and on-point while Swift was jumping all over the place, her energy seemed to be a distraction from her short-comings.

As pop stars and teen sensations go, Taylor Swift does have singing talent. But as we all know, to be a pop star takes MUCH, MUCH more than singing talent. You have to be fierce, have an incomparable stage presence, demand attention, dance, connect with the music / crowd / band, and you have to sing. At this point, Taylor Swift needs to decide what she wants to be. A pop star? Or a singing artist? Because she doesn't have what it takes to be either right now, and she is stuck in the middle (it is a Grammy winning middle, but it is the middle none the less and will be fleeting).

The huge backlash against her performance has been heard from the major critics (The New York Times, Washington Post), TV News, Twitter, Youtube comments, blogs and more. The noise made its way all the way up to the big man at Taylor Swift's record label, Big Machine Records. His name is Scott Borchetta and he released a statement through the Tennessean which did not help her case.

"Maybe she's not the best technical singer, but she's probably the best emotional singer because everybody else who gets up there and is technically perfect, people don't seem to want more of it." Who are these people that don't want to see a technically perfect singer? Swift is billed as a SINGER.... shouldn't she be able to SING?
"This is not 'American Idol.' This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. ... It's not about that technically perfect performance."
She definitely did not sing the high notes... in fact she lowered all of them in comparison to what she sings on the CD, and she was still pitchy.
"I think (the critics) are missing the whole voice of a generation that is happening right in front of them. … She's an extraordinary songwriter and her vocal performances are getting better."
The voice of a generation?! Maybe. If the generation he is talking about is today's pre-teen girls. But does that equal staying power? True staying power? No. You have to have something. You have to be able to perform. In some sense of the word.

Kelly Clarkson has weighed in on this whole subject in her blog, and attacked Borchetta for his American Idol comments. "you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better." 
Ouch.
"Instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your 'humble' opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won't go according to plan or work out and that's okay." 
Thank you Kelly, for your words of wisdom.
She signed the blog "One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes "

In the end, Taylor Swift won 4 Grammys and is now the youngest artist to win the top prize of Album of the Year. But winning a Grammy does not equal staying power. To have that she's going to have do some major work.

Watch her Grammy performance below:

Macaulay Culkin to join cast of Big Love...

Rory Culkin, Hayden Panettiere, and Macaulay Culkin 

posed yesterday at a film screening.

Macaulay Culkin (who will turn 30 this summer) has been out of the lime light for a while now. After the cancellation of his NBC series Kings last year (what NBC show doesn't get cancelled?), he has been taking it easy. But it seems that may soon be changing as rumors are swirling that he will soon be joining the cast of HBO's Big Love.

Culkin is good friends with Chloe Sevigny and has been visiting her on the set of the hit show. Apparently this has the cast and crew excited, and they now want him to join! Co-creator Will Scheffer says, "We're interested in him... We can see him (on the show)." and Big Love star Bill Paxton can't wait: "He'd make a great young evangelist."

After his strong work in Party Monster and Saved!, it would be nice to see him play another grown-up role. 

Lucy Liu to make her Broadway debut...

Lucy Liu will join a long list of not-so-qualified Hollywood talent to take a bow on Broadway this March by making her Broadway debut in God of Carnage. She will be part of the third cast to perform the Tony winning play. The current cast members are: Jimmy Smits, Annie Potts, Christine Lahti and Ken Stott. They will play their last performance on February 28th. Liu will be accompanied by Dylan Baker, Janet McTeer and Jeff Daniels. Daniels was an original cast member in the show, but he will be returning in a different role, originated by James Gandolfini. How satisfying as an actor to return to a different role in familiar material. With the help of Lucy Liu's star power, hopefully he will be able to enjoy this rare experience.

Brand new J. Lo music...

Listen to the brand new J. Lo "song" called "Everybody's Girl". It is reportedly on her upcoming album called Love? which will be released in March. The song debuted in Germany this morning...

It's kinda cute and kinda forgetable. Basically, it's kinda like the rest of her music.
