Today on the Gossip Girl set!
In order of appearance: Chace Crawford (still wearing his Regis & Kelly attire), Michelle Trachtenberg in Georgina costume/disguise, Leighton Meester & Michelle Trachtenberg have van drama, followed by a HILARIOUS Chace Crawford fan encounter.
“Maybe if I just walk directly behind him smiling my friend will snap a great shot of us for my Facebook page!”
Didn’t ask the girls for shots because they didn’t seem to be in the friendliest of moods. Life continues.
Chace Crawford meeting fans outside of Regis & Kelly this morning!
Such a sweetheart, no?
Today on "PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES WE WANT"
This Guy.
This Guy is, supposedly, Taylor Lautner’s manager. This Guy is also rumored to be one of Kellan Lutz’s BFF’s (except I couldn’t find a picture of them together). This Guy was also at last night’s Sundance premiere of “The Runaways” trailing behind Kristen Stewart.
Does This Guy work for Summit? Who is This Guy? Where did This Guy come from? And, lastly, is This Guy hiring?
If you know who This Guy is, have pictures of him with other Twilight cast members, or dish we can add to this… feel free to comment below!
Hey This Guy, are you watching?
For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter, you may have missed my violent outburst on Friday night while watching the Hope for Haiti Now telethon live stream of the celebrity phone bank. What was my outburst due to, you say? Well… I’ll give you three hints and one guess. He’s dark, he avoids me at all costs when in NYC, and he’s illegal. If you guessed Taylor Lautner you either feel the same way, or know me entirely too well.
Anyway, while I was watching the live stream of the celebrity phone bank, towards the end the cameraman stayed dormant on one section which was a nice change. But then, after a wild search of each row, I spotted Taylor Lautner sitting in the top row. A mild freak-out ensued, followed by a deer in headlights reaction to who he was sitting next to.
SELENA. GOMEZ.
Selena Gomez used to be The Enemy. But she heard about my death threats and evil glares in reaction to her puppy love (gag) relationship with Taylor Lautner, my boyfriend, and instantly backed off. Taylor Swift then took The Enemy title. For the record, even though she also got wind of my threats, she is still The Enemy. This will continue until further notice from yours truly.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Taylor sitting next to Selena wouldn’t have been THAT upsetting if they would have just kept a long and safe personal distance away from each other. Did they? No, they did not. If I had to witness anymore giggling and close-conversation, I would have exploded. June would still be cleaning bits of me off the ceiling. But not only was this act offensive to ME, I believe it was also offensive to Nick Jonas. Nick Jonas is, technically, Selena Gomez’s virgin ex-boyfriend. But recently she has been following him around on tour while he sings songs he wrote for her and they both cry about it in public. To me that sounds like a reunion.
But then I saw this picture. This is a pictures of the JoBros (2 part virgin, 1 part man) leaving the Hope for Haiti Now telethon Friday night in Los Angeles. Oh, and who is that cuddled in the background with her cherry flavored lover? Selena Gomez.
Selena, you saved yourself. But please know that I am watching you.
Is Kristen Stewart capable of completing a sentence? Here she is at last night’s Sundance premiere of “The Runaways” talking to Brad Blanks.
Also, even though she isn’t once credited in the title or description of this video, there is a short interview with Dakota Fanning. Surprisingly enough, she is also in the movie.
I’m sorry…WHAT?! How did we miss this?!
According to E! Online, the masterminds behind the incredibly successful Mamma Mia! are cooking up a Spice Girls’ themed musical for the Great White Way! Entitled Viva Forever, the show will be comprised of a story separate from that of the girls. However, it will, of course, be based on the girls’ back catalogue of music.
So, basically, it’s going to be Mamma Mia! - the spicy version! It’s being helmed by Judy Craymer, the woman who produced both the film and stage productions of the Abba-centric Mamma Mia!, in coordination with Universal Music and Simon Fuller’s new company (he’s the guy behind that show no one watches - American Idol).
Don’t know about you, but I am making plans for opening night as we speak…
RPattz + Sean Penn + Reese Witherspoon = Huh?
I’m sure many of you already know of this, but alas! I’m going to post it anyway!
In the latest Robert Pattinson mutterings, he is supposedly up for a role in another book turned movie, Water for Elephants. The New York Times best-selling novel about a circus veterinarian circa The Great Depression is a studio project being helmed by Fox 2000 with a Richard Lagravanese-written script and Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine) directing.
Reese Witherspoon is already attached to the film, which would put Rob and Reese back on a set together after a 6 year fiesta since the shooting of Vanity Fair. Granted, Rob’s scene was edited out of the final cut of the movie, but still - it happened! Anyway, the studio is trying to woo Sean Penn into the mix, too, but that’s not all that interesting until he says yes…or no.
So! Lovely readers, I haven’t read the book. What say you? Should I pick up a copy before our favorite awkward Brit hits the screen in the film adaptation?
There are a number of recording artists planning to release singles to benefit the people of Haiti on the road to recovery from the disaster that hit last week (and the residual after-shock today). Among such artists, two powerhouses have come together to release a single with proceeds benefitting rescue and rebuild efforts - U2 and Jay-Z have just completed writing and recording a tune, although a release date has yet to be announced.
In addition to the recording, the masters of the music world will also be performing from London as part of George Clooney’s telethon, which is being televised across multiple channels on Friday, 1/22, 8pm -10pm.
Check out Taylor Swift’s addition to the Valentine’s Day soundtrack. What do you think?
I’m sure you know that we of the Trinity have mixed feelings about Swifty. This is one of those times when I, personally, am leaning towards the negative side. This song is just soooooo cheesy, and not the expensive Brie kind of cheese. I’m talking the spray can kind of fake cheese.
This wasn’t her best work in my opinion. You wanna hear a good pro-love (let’s face it, they’re usually about heartbreack/ache) Swifty song? Listen to this.
We’ve been bad bad bloggers.
Sorry lovers, but the holidays took a toll on all of us, not to mention New York City is officially an arctic tundra, thus keeping the celeb sightings at bay.
Fortunately, the NBR Awards continued as scheduled in a warm & toasty locale in midtown Manhattan on January 12th, 2010. For a more rounded list of who was there (and who snuck out the backdoor), check out Lauren’s write-up over at Examiner.com. You might want to subscribe to that baby as well…just sayin!
As our personal twitter followers may already know, we had the pleasure of meeting Ben Foster and Anna Kendrick, as well as Meredith Viera, Ellen Burstyn, Wes Anderson, Jason Reitman, Vera Farmiga, and the one and only George Clooney. We were only able to get photographs with Ben and Anna (you can see Lauren’s here). However, almost everyone we asked was very gracious and signed for us/thanked us for even waiting.
I, personally, was incredibly impressed by Ellen Burstyn, Wes Anderson, and Jason Reitman. A short barricade was set up with autograph hounds stationed tightly along the front. We were behind them, but against the side barricade, facing the street. Ellen, Wes, and Jason signed for a few in the front and went to leave, but saw us standing behind the hounds and came back for us. Very, very cool.
Gabourey Sidibe was also told not to sign anything, but against the word of her handler, she came over anyway. She was adorable! Vera Farmiga and Carey Mulligan were also kind enough to make a stop our way. Vera is beautiful. Carey is a doll.
George Clooney was gracious as always and signed for as many pages as he could get his hands on. In the short clip above, you can even hear him playing around with the autograph hounds and calling one of them a “fucker”. I fell in love with him after that.
However, the gold stars for best celebrity contacts last night go to Ben Foster and Anna Kendrick. We saw Ben in the calm between the arrivals and departures as he came out for a cigarette. (*Side Note: Guy smokes like a chimney.) I was super excited because I’ve been watching Ben since I was 10 in Disney’s “Flash Forward”. (Tucker James, I heart you!) In fact, he may have been where my love for awkward boys started. Anyway, there were a few hounds at the time, and they called him over. He looked somewhat peeved, but he came over, asked, “What the hell are you guys doing here?”, and started signing stuff anyway. I peeked over, and asked if I could take a picture with him. He looked up and said, “Absolutely.” A few of the hounds jumped in between Ben and me, and then some other guy jumped in for a picture, too. Afraid he was going to run away, I scooched closer, and he turned to me.
Ben: Hi, what’s your name? (holds out his hand)
Me: June (takes his hand)
Ben: June? It’s very nice to meet you. (squeezes my hand)
It was a golden 2 seconds. We took the picture, and I hid the next 4 times he came out to smoke.
But, the coup de gras of the evening was most definitely Miss Anna Kendrick. As many of you know, Lauren aka @aliceinnyc has been trying to meet Anna for months. She is Lauren’s female equivalent of Taylor Lautner. There have been many unsuccessful attempts, but none so prominent as the David Letterman debacle. Still, Anna was sincere enough to message Lauren to apologize for not stopping on her way out (after not getting to Lauren on her way in). For the time being, it was sufficient contact.
After long months of freezing her butt off waiting for a chance encounter with Miss Kendrick, last night, Lauren accomplished her goal. Anna didn’t appear to have any intention of stopping, but this being the umpteenth time Lauren had come for her (and the fact that a few more minutes and both of us would’ve had to have our toes amputated), there was no holding back. Lauren mustered up a yell to her resembling something like “Anna! Letterman!” Immediately, Anna looked up and came straight to Lauren. It was kismet. ;P Signing for us, Anna was wonderfully sweet and kind. She continued signing all the photographs that the hounds were shoving in her face, at one point announcing “I don’t know what I’m signing! I don’t know how I’m signing! Just so you know!” When we asked to take pictures with her, she graciously replied “Of course!” As she walked back to her car, Lauren said “Good luck on Sunday!” Anna turned around to smile and yell “Thank you!” Mission complete.
Sneak preview of Anna Kendrick on tomorrow’s Ellen!
Mariah Carey. Drunk. Accepting an award. Yeah, that’s all I can say.
Diddy & CIROC to Pay For Thousands of Cabs on New Years Eve!
Hip hop impresario, marathon runner, and entrepreneur Diddy wants you to be safe this New Year’s Eve. In fact, so much so that he’s gonna pay to help you do it.
The artist formerly known as Puff Daddy and the makers of CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka will be distributing thousands of debit cards worth up to $15 around New York City to ensure that holiday revelers get home via taxicab.
The cards only work in the city’s yellow cabs and will be available in “high-traffic” locations, wherever they may be.
Nicole Richie Headed to 'Project Runway'
Nicole Richie is set to make a splash on the seventh season of “Project Runway.”
Richie will guest judge on the reality competition’s season premiere, says People.com.
“Nicole is a fabulous guest judge,” says “Project Runway” executive producer Sara Rea. “She has strong opinions and gives clear and specific constructive criticism to the designers. Also, she isn’t afraid to disagree with the other judges.”
Look who is in Miami for New Years!
Leighton Meester did the holiday concert rounds throughout the month of December to help promote her singing career, but now it looks like nothing but R&R at the Shore Club in Miami. Lucky girl!
