Paris Hilton to punish America with another CD...

That's right, Paris Hilton is in the studio screeching her way through recording a brand new CD, and when she doesn't have enough inspiration, she simply hits her Twitter page to ask her followers for help. "Hey Everyone, just in the studio working on more music. What kind of subjects do you guys think would make great song..."

Dear God, Paris! Really? You are asking your followers on Twitter for help on what would make a great song? The number one place I could think to turn for music writing advice would be your followers: a bunch of sex-obsessed guys and teenage girls who think "loves it" is still in. Why would you turn to a lyricist? That would be too smart.

Yes, they do say the stars are blind, but so is America if we actually go out and purchase another horrible excuse of a CD trying to pass as pop music. Paris, stick to what you know: looking cute, pouting your lips, and causing a scandal.

The new Calvin Klein X commerical...

The new Calvin Klein commericial featuring the very seXy Kellan Lutz, Mehcad Brooks, Fernando Verdasco, and Hidetoshi Nakata has been released and it is X. (Click HERE if you want to see the print campaign) The commerical is actually quite funny, and as with all Calvin Klein ads, pushes the limits. The guys seductively and playfully look at the camera and ask, "Do you want to see my d X k?" A red "X" appears to bleep out the word. Well, not sure how creative it is, but it will make you laugh at the very least...

Sweet Shots: Amanda Seyfried for Esquire...

Amanda Seyfried. Love her. She's funny (Mean Girls), an amazing actress (Big Love), and doesn't play the LA game (via her interview with Esquire). Check out this Sweet Shot from the upcoming "Women We Love" edition of Esquire...
Amanda stays in such great shape by sticking to a raw food diet. She told the magazine that her diet is "intense. And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch? Spinach. Just spinach. Spinach and some seeds." Poor little skinny white girl...

Just in case you haven't seen the new Twilight trailer...

Here it is, the brand new Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer:



I may be one of the only people that feel like this, but the movies are so much better than the books! When reading the books, I just wanted to strangle Bella. She was so stupid and clumsy. The movies always put the annoying, 100 page stretches of Bella obsessing over Edward's God-like charm or crying because he left her into one nice little montage. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are amazingly talented and they bring so much to these characters. The one weak link (which can be seen so clearly in this trailer) is Taylor Lautner. Boy can't act. The other two literally steam-roll over him and he's left looking blank-faced saying cheese-tastic lines like "I'm going to fight for you until your heart stops beating." Although that line would be difficult for any actor to say, his rendition is so cringe-inducing you have to wonder why it made the cut?

WEZ SEZ: Twilight Saga: Eclipse - The movies are better than the books (minus Taylor Lautner).

Zoolander 2 is on the way...


Ben Stiller has confirmed that a Zoolander sequel is officially in the works! The film will surely prove once and for all that is more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good looking.

Ben Stiller and Justin Theroux are working on the script (Theroux previously penned Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2) and Jonah Hill is set to play the villain. Owen Wilson is not yet confirmed for returning as Hansel, but it just wouldn't be Zoolander without him.

Hansel. He's so hot right now. Hansel.

WEZ SEZ: Zoolander 2. Can't wait!

Mel B shaves her daughter's head...

Former Spice Girl and Mom of the Year recipient, Mel B got a new haircut and loved it so much she decided to give it to her two year old daughter (Angel) too. Poor girl. Not only does Angel have to grow up knowing that every time she watches a terrible movie starring Eddie Murphy she's watching her dad humiliate himself, she also has to know that her mom channeled all her neuroses into one awful haircut...

Sweet Shots: "The Situation" and Bar Refaeli...

 
 
Mike "The Situation" and Bar Refaeli posing for an upcoming spread in Interview Magazine. I guess the mag is taking to new heights of putting two people together that should NEVER be put together and doing an interview. Some say smart. Some say why...

Robert Pattinson is dating Kristen Stewart...


Bored yet? So am I.

In the most obvious round of gossip, it has (finally) been confirmed that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple. Yawn. The two have been "dodging" rumors since filming began on the first Twilight film, and all the rumors seem to keep interest in the movies sky high. It really makes you wonder if the whole thing isn't just one big publicity stunt. Who knows...

But, Robert did talk to the UK Sun and said, “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible." He was speaking of the BAFTAs - they were supposed to arrive together, but canceled at the last minute. Why? Perhaps the security wasn't enough to handle the teenage throngs who would have rushed the red carpet if they saw their two favorite stars together? "We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.” What stuff is he talking about? Not doing interviews with the Sun talking about being a couple, surely. Or not leaving the BAFTAs together (pictured above) surely.

Life is hard when you're every teenage girls' desire, but it's got to be even harder for the girl that is in a fake (or real) relationship with the object of their desire. Teenage girls have all those hormones and stuff. They'll cut a bitch...

Whitney Houston can't sing (anymore)...


Yes, it's sad but true. The former diva can no longer sing. One of the greatest vocal performers of our generation is now running around stage speak-singing and dropping out to let the chorus singers sing all the high notes.

Whitney Houston is in the land down under for a short concert tour called "Nothing But Love" (when she arrived in Brisbane she threw a huge fit when her limo was 2 minutes late). Her show last night in Brisbane angered many fans however. Fans gave the performance mixed reviews with many saying she was coughing and taking breaks to try and catch her breath, and was sweating profusely. Many are expected to demand refunds. The negative reviews will surely hurt the tour as Brisbane was her first stop.

In an ill-guided attempt at damage control, the concert tour promoter, Andrew McManus spoke out to defend Houston. He said, "I saw the whole show. Was it an A? No, it was probably a B+. It was not a train wreck. She was hitting most of the notes. Yes, her throat was a little croaky. Her health is fine but she's also not 22 years of age anymore. She was on stage for two-and-a-half hours dancing, singing, running. Was she a little out of breath on a couple of songs? Yes, she was. But I don't apologise for that, she had a red-hot go."

Ouch! When your tour promoter says she hit "most" of the notes, that can't be good. Saying things like it was a "B+" and it wasn't a "train wreck" just make it sound like it was worse. He also added that Houston was surprised by the negative reviews saying, "she went to bed after the show giving a two-and-a-half hour solid performance. She was proud of it. She thought she gave her all and did a strong performance and I agreed with her. This was the first night of a tour after a long flight; she hasn't played for a while."

Here again he gives a compliment about the show ("strong performance") and follows up with an excuse for her ("she hasn't played in a while").

The unfortunate point is Whitney Houston threw her voice away with drug addiction and poor health. Hopefully she will stop ruining her voice further by doing more performances and either retire or get vocal help. Although it's OK to feel sorry for Whitney, it's not OK for her to be charging fans upwards of $195 AU for a performance that wouldn't pass on American Idol.

The Hurt Locker sweeps the BAFTAs...


The Hurt Locker won 6 prizes at last night's BAFTA ceremony. The war drama nearly shut out Avatar which only took home 2 of its 8 nominated prizes for Production Design and Visual Effects. With every awards show giving the top prize to a different film (Golden Globes: Avatar, BAFTA: Hurt Locker, SAG Awards: Inglourious Basterds), and with 10 films nominated for Best Picture Oscar, this year's Academy Awards ceremony might just be a surprise.

The two prizes that are guaranteed are in the supporting actor categories. Both Mo'Nique (for Precious) and Christoph Waltz (for Inglourious Basterds) tripled their awards last night (both also won SAG and Golden Globes).

The biggest surprises of last night were in the two best actor categories. Colin Firth won the top prize for his work in A Single Man and Carey Mulligan won for An Education. Neither are expected to repeat this win at the Oscars, but we shall see...

WEZ SEZ: The Hurt Locker deserves Best Picture Oscar. See it. Now.
