"GOOD GIRLS GO BAD" RELEASES THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

BBC-005132.jpg
Cobra Starship front man Gabe Saporta is hunched over the craps table, a wad of cash in his sweaty hand, while Leighton Meester of "Gossip Girl" hovers above him on perilously high heels. Around them, the smoky nightclub pulsated in full party mode, as pretty people jammed to the music and guzzled bottles of beer. Leighton Meester is fierce the moment she steps into Cobra Starship’s new “Good Girls Go Bad” music video.

The concept of the video is that Meester runs an underground speakeasy, complete with shelves of booze, gambling tables and a dance floor. The band is in charge of the above-ground deli that acts as a front operation to hide the debauchery within. To gain access to the illegal club, patrons must order the correct sandwich and proceed down a staircase. "And if you don't look good, I'm not gonna let you in!" Saporta told MTV News during some downtime on the set, tucked into the Lower East Side.

The infectiously dancey "Good Girls" was produced by "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi, and Saporta was initially put off by the fact that the busy producer only had two hours to spend with the band in the studio. Saporta says he gave her a "stinky beat" and popped off a list of foul-mouthed song titles. "She didn't even flinch!" said an impressed Saporta. "She's a New York girl." Together, they dropped the song's hook in no time, and 15 minutes later the entire track was done. "It's, like, the best song on our album," he said of the upcoming August release, Hot Mess.

By the time Cobra and DioGuardi recorded the song, the band had already decided to collaborate with Meester. "I had heard that Leighton was working on a record and I really, really, really wanted to do a song with her, because I'm a big superfan of hers," Saporta said. He recalled thinking, "['Good Girls'] would be perfect for Leighton because it's already kind of her character in 'Gossip Girl,' like the perfect girl with the bad streak." They'd been working together on another track, but Saporta quickly sent her the new song, and Meester took an immediate liking to it. "I thought, 'I need to get on that!' " she told MTV News. "It totally is my sound too. Really fun to dance to it. Very edgy and cool."

The video was directed by Kai Regan and shot on Sunday, May 3 in New York City. Cobra Starship consists of Gabe Saporta, Ryland Blackinton, Alex Suarez, Victoria Asher and Nate Novarro. Check out the video below:

CRISTIANO RONADLO WAKIN UP IN VEGAS

CR-LV.jpg
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now -- That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
…..

Cristiano Ronaldo some time soaking up the sun and recovering from his late night escapades in “sin city”, where he was spotted after dark at club like XS and the Playboy Club.

The former Manchester United, Ronaldo, star has to make sure his body is in 100 per cent working order - so he called in a male masseur to give him a poolside “manssage”, at The Palms Hotel & Casino.

The attendant, rumored to be Portuguese physiotherapist Antonio Gaspar, paid close attention to the 24-year old’s washboard stomach, before moving onto the body part, which has made him the man of the moment - his feet.

Following his massage the metrosexual player, Ronaldo, cooled off in the hotel pool. But he couldn't get away from the fans for too long - he was soon recognized and persuaded to join a clutch of fans for photographs. Word around town is that Cristiano has been from scoring BIG in Vegas having “slots of fun”!!!

Check out more poolside pix of Cristiano after the jump...

Selena added, “I’ve cut out the people who I don’t need in my life. I realized I should surround myself with people who make me smile.”

Princess Protection Program is a hilarious and heartwarming royal reality check when the lovely Rosalinda, Lovato enters the Princess Protection Program and moves in with her new cousin Carter, Gomez, a total tomboy.

He then tried on a white jacket with dark pants as well as a gray suit, which seemed to best embody the feel he was going for.

LML%20US.jpg

Newly single Lindsay Morgan Lohan is now a member of e-harmony and is looking for a new partner. Well, not really. She recently posted a "Video Testimonial" parody on FunnyOrDie.com posing as a new member of online dating website, e-harmony.com.

In the piece (featured below), Lohan is searching for somebody that she could "spend the rest of [her] life with, or at least the rest of [her] probation with." Lohan goes on to lampoon herself, saying that besides being an actress, a singer, and an entrepreneur, she "has singlehandedly kept 90% of all gossip websites in business."

In the video, Lohan appears refreshingly normal, all the while being the consummate professional, yet completely self-aware. In terms of male or female companionship, she's quick to note that she's not picky, just as long as the person "doesn't have family members [that are] quick to issue restraining orders." Brilliant!

Go LML! We wish you luck in finding that "Special Someone". Check out her "Video Testimonial" below:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN STEWART

kristen-stewart-bday.jpg
Styletraxx is sending out a BIG b-day wish to Twilight star Kristen Jaymes Stewart, who turns 19 today.

As previously reported on styletraxx, Kristen is set to play rocker Joan Jett in “The Runaways”, a biopic of the all-girl band set in the 70s, said she will do her very best in personifying the "I Love Rock N' Roll" singer's spirit on the silver screen.

Stewart recently told the press how excited she is to be playing the iconic rockstar Jett in “The Runaways,” a 1970’s-era flick about the influential all-girl rock band fronted by Jett and Lita Ford.

“I’m, like, vibrating,” grinned Stewart when we asked “I’m just so excited about that movie. I’m really, exceedingly, more excited than normal,” she laughed. "It should just be done justice," Stewart stated "I mean, her story's important. It's an incredibly triumphant feminist story, really."

Directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film will tell the story of the teenage band who were brought together and thrown into leather and lace, performing such sneer-filled songs as “Cherry Bomb.” Joan Jett herself has signed on to be the film’s executive producer, and Stewart is reportedly hard at work picking up old guitar riffs, and spending time hanging with the durable rock goddess herself.

DREW BARRYMORE TAKES COVER

DrewBarrymoreElle.jpg
Drew Barrymore graces the cover of ELLE Magazines May 2009 issue, styled by Joe Zee and shot by Alexei Hay.

As part of Hollywood Royalty, Drew has had her share of ups and downs in the entertainment industry but today her career makes other envious. Photos inside ELLE Magazine make Drew look like an underwater angle but it’s the interview with the actress that reminds you that this angle is heaven sent. She opens up about her career, sacrificing her life for a role, and her relationships.

On her breakup from boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti: “It’s hard to be with someone for five years and say, This isn’t going to work. But it was a time in my life where I finally just said, I can’t live for anyone else anymore. I have to be on my own.”

On the Hollywood career she would like to try: “I’m in my thirties now, and I really want to try all the things that I haven’t gotten to do yet, like directing, and doing a drama. I’ve produced and gotten to do a lot of optimistic love stories, and that was so where I was at for 10 years in my life. And now I feel like, Okay, now I know how to do that. I wanted to get scared again.”

Drew recently threw herself into the role of Little Edie for the film Grey Gardens, going to extreme lengths like shutting herself off from the world- all to prove to the director, who preferred other actresses for the role, that she was the right pick.

On getting the role and transforming into the character
“I knew this was not a courtesy meeting, but not far from it. I didn’t want to come in there like a hungry freak. But I also felt every second counting. So – polite conversation, then he started looking through my binder, and I saw his demeanor change, actually noticing all the hard work I had put into it. So I just put it out there. I said, ‘Look – I have all of this inside of me, and I promise you that I will change my face to be her. I will learn how to stop talking out of the side of my mouth. I will go to school to relearn body language. I will shut out the world. I will not talk to my friends. I will give up my life for this, because I don’t think you can play this character and have a social life and balance the two mentalities. I won’t act. I’ll become this person.’”

“I did what I do when I have a big challenge lying in my path. I go to school. I shut the windows, the shades come down, the phone gets turned off, I don’t go out – I study.”

LINDSAY MORGAN LOHAN TAKES A TIME-OUT

lindsay_lohan.jpg

The long, tumultuous and supremely entertaining relationship between part-time actress Lindsay Lohan and her DJ companion, Samantha Ronson, has finally come to an end.

The break-up was made official after Lindsay Morgan was barred from a party for Ronson's sister, Charlotte‹DJ Sam on deck‹at Bar Marmont on Friday night. As celebs such as Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Molly Sims, Sting and Jewel grooved to Ronson's tune-spinning skills, five bouncers allegedly kept Lohan at bay, under strict orders from the Ronson family. The Ronson family is so concerned that they are seeking a restraining order against Lindsay.

“They were directed to the court to get a restraining order,” Beverly Hills Sgt. Nutall told US Weekly on Monday.

The locks on Samantha’s house were seen being changed on Monday; three weeks ago a window was broken at her house during a fight between the two women. According to reports, Lindsay Morgan Lohan has vacated Sam Ronson's home and
moved back into the Chateau Marmont.

“We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself,” Lindsay told E!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR FOR BLAKE LIVELY AND PENN BADGLEY

blake-penn-lax-spotted.jpg
Blake Lively and Penn Badgley were seen departing LAX airport for a international flight to Thailand on Sunday (April 5). Blake, brought along a pillow for the long trip but it came in handy to shield herself from photographes while she was waiting in line. Regardless of their fame the two remain down-to-earth and both Blake and Penn were seen checking in at the Premium Economy (coach) counter, rather than First Class.

The couple can “afford” to take a few days off since they have finished filming for the season of Gossip Girl. Last week, the cast celebrated at the Bowery Hotel. According to reports, Penn was so focused on his game of beer pong that Blake couldn’t get him to call it a night. Allegedly, Blake kept trying to get him to leave, but he was so focused on the game that he begged her to stay.

Drinking games seem to be a hobby for the cast of Gossip Girl. You may remember back in January, Chance Crawford, Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick were spotted at Brother Jimmy's on Eighth Avenue (after the Kings of Leon concert at Madison Square Garden) playing a game of "flip cup”, until 2 a.m.

Cheers Mate!

THE HILLS - THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR LAUREN CONRAD

the-hills-season-5.jpg
Staring tonight, it’s all downhill for Lauren Conrad as the “unwritten” reality series, centering on her life begins its final season. And it seems that "frenemy" Heidi Montag, isn't shedding too many tears for long-lost pal LC.

Montag tells MTV News: "We don't need her, we'll miss her. I just don't know if we need her." She goes on to say she was not surprised about Conrads decision to make this her last season: "I know she hasn't been wanting to be doing this for a while, and [the life she really leads] is not on camera," she says. "So I think it's a closing chapter for her. I'm sure she'll have fun and success."

Montag adds, "She's gotta leave the drama to the pros! I love The Hills and I definitely don't want to go anywhere anytime soon. That's my home and I'm so grateful to be on it, so we'll see."

In Conrad's “real” life she is dating “My Boys” actor Kyle Howard – the two were spotted this past weekend romping around the beaches of Malibu hitting the water for a paddleboat outing, and enjoying a shoreline stroll.

In related news, Heidi released two new singles — “Look How I’m Doing” and “Your Love Found Me” — the track title saying it all about this self absorbed songbird. Also, Lauren Conrad has her first fiction novel, L.A. Candy, hitting shelves June 16th. This novel is the first of a three-book series of young adult fiction, and tells a behind-the-scenes story of a young girl named Jane Roberts who moves to L.A. and unexpectedly becomes the star of a reality television show. Roberts can't wait to start living it up.

Conrad hopes MTV will consider backing the fictional series and make it into an MTV movie/series. For the other two installments –
Live your life with arms wide open - Today is where your book begins -
The rest is still unwritten….

Get ready to say goodbye to The Hills cast — Lauren Conrad, Brody Jenner, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Lauren Bosworth and Justin “Bobby” Brescia. The Hills returns with its final season on Monday, April 6 @ 10PM ET/PT on MTV.

PARIS HILTON AND DOUG REINHARDT MIX THINGS UP AT WMC

paris-doug.jpg
Paris Hilton and boy-toy Doug Reinhardt got into a club brawl Thursday night in South Beach. Allegedly, Paris was not happy with the music playing at club LIV Nightclub by Swedish spinner, DJ Steve Angello, so she did what only Paris would do - she went to the DJ booth to request hip-hop.

That’s when things got heated and Angello thought the starlet should "get over" herself. That is when security asked ex-inmate, Ms. Hilton, to exit the booth and Reinhardt stepped in turning the episode into a bloody brawl with Reinhardt walking away with a bloody lip.

In a battle of he-said, she-said, he-said, the celebutante and her toy-boy visited the Fontainebleau, where the DJ Steve Angello was spinning as part of the Winter Music Conference. The two took the fight into cyber-space each defending their part on Twitter and MySpace.

"For someone who claims to make records...don't come into a booth and ask me to play hip hop and then have your doorman slap me," Angello writes of the incident on his Twitter account.

"I was just protecting my girlfriend," Reinhardt tells E! News. "The DJ's bodyguard pushed Paris. I stepped in. He tried to push me and manhandle me." Really? “Manhandle Me” - come on Doug.

Angello's rep, Matt Learmouth, tells E! News the incident didn't quite go down the way the reality-star couple claims. "She kept asking the DJ and got quite agitated with Steve about playing hip-hop and it was obviously his event, his music. He wasn't going to do that," the publicist says. "And then she asked one of her security guards to punch Steve, and one of her security punched Steve full-on in the face. Steve responded and ended up having a brawl with the security guard. Steve doesn't even have a bodyguard, and they said that his bodyguard attacked her," Learmouth says. "Steve is a quiet guy, but he had to act in self-defense and fought back. He started pounding on the guy, and it suddenly turned into a full-scale fight in the DJ booth."

As the argument took a physical turn, hotel security had to intervene.
"I took [the bodyguard] down and five members of his entourage jumped me when I was on top of him," claims Reinhardt.

justin_long300.jpg
Drew Barrymore 34, and Justin Long 30 were spotted this weekend together at Hollywood hotspot Bar Marmont. The pair came in together and spent the next few hours engaging in full-on PDA. “They couldn’t get enough of each other. I don’t think they even noticed that there were other people in the room! In between kisses it was all smiles and laughs."

The next night, the couple reunited at Ike sushi in Hollywood. “They sat at the sushi bar and ordered Sake and dinner. They were both in a great mood. They were smiling ear to ear the whole time, and laughing and looking they were so happy they were going to burst,” an eyewitness reveals. “Once they polished off the sake, Justin ordered a Sapporo beer and split it with Drew. Justin grabbed Drew’s hand and held it on his thigh. They looked in love. They finished their dinner with him springing for the tab, and walked out arm in arm.”

After splitting up eight months ago, it certainly seems that Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are back together again.

Super-Hottie Megan Fox and fiance Brian Austin Green have called it quits and called off the engagement. The couple met in 2004 and got engaged in November 2006, but according to reports “The relationship had run its course. It’s completely amicable, and they are remaining friends” and reports state that they “are both focusing on their careers."

There may have been signs of trouble when Fox told the E! Network why she was date-less at the Golden Globes – “He doesn't want to be here, you know, he doesn't want to be my date. He's a man. He has an ego...I think he's probably working on music. I don't think he cares."

Fox, 22 will reprise her role as Mikaela in this June’s sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Green, 35 is a regular on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY RIHANNA

hair61.jpg
Happy Birthday, Rihanna!!

Today is the pop princess’s 21st birthday. Rihanna’s close friends placed a birthday greeting in the local Barbados paper, the Nation News. The message reads: “Happy 21 Birthday to Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Amidst all the negativity about Ri Ri. God will continue to bless her. That’s why you are so great, Ri Ri. From Sharon, Shane, Kim and Rashane. We love you.” HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RIHANNA! Stay strong."

Originally Rihanna was planning on celebrating her 21st birthday today( Feb. 20 ) with a big, splashy party in New York City. But with the recent incident her music label has, understandably, canceled the pricey soiree, which it had been putting together for about a month. The bash for about 200 or so guests was to have had a carnival theme with various "sideshow" attractions, says a source familiar with the planning. We would like to wish the singer a happy 21st birthday today and wish her the very best in a safe and speedy recovery.

LADY GAGA OUT AND ABOUT IN LONDON

lady-gaga-1289-12.jpg
Making the most of her time in the UK Lady Gaga was spotted out and about till wee hours for the last two nights. First the Just dance diva was spotted living it up with Paris Hilton on January 27 at the Nokia 5800 launch party, held at Punk Soho. The pair appeared to be having a wonderful time as they laughed the night away. From there Gaga made her way over to the Roxy nightclub to perform a set with deejay Mark Ronson. Around 2:30am she headed home looking a bit worn out.

The next night Lady GaGa took full advantage of her celebrity. The songstress was spotted making her rounds in London scene again. Starting her night at Bungalow 8 nightclub. From there, she headed over to Maya for dancing and drinks before finishing her night at an East London flat, leaving around 5:40am.

GaGa’s fun-filled evening is a far cry to her recent claim that she doesn’t have time for a social life anymore. Gaga recently said, “Ultimately, you have to give up everything for your craft. If you’re really serious about making music and being an artist as a full-time career, I would give up absolutely everything else and go for it.” She added, “I don’t have relationships, I don’t really party anymore at all; I spend every breathing moment making music and designing for the show and holding rehearsals… It’s a bit psychotic.”

We have to say the dedication had finally paid off and Lady Gaga you deserve the break!! As her smash single “Just Dance” has lead the U.S. singles chart for third week at number 1.

BRITNEY SPEARS TO WRITE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

spears.jpg
The pop princess herself is planning on writing an autobiography. Britney, has already been signed up by a literary agent and will put pen to paper following her sell-out world tour. The ink should soon be dry on this $14 million dollar publishing deal. The pop princess may ruffle a few feathers in the process, as the book promises to be a "no-holds-barred account of her roller-coaster career". "And some of the stories she’s got are absolute dynamite. Britney kept diaries so there’s nothing she’ll leave out unless she wants to. Britney will talk frankly about growing up and how she went off the rails". When the deal goes through she will write between three and five books throughout the next decade - it's one of the most lucrative book deals in showbiz history.

There have been numerous unofficial autobiographies about Britney Spears over the years, but she’s never agreed to pen her own until now. While critics have been quick to write off Britney whenever her life has threatened to spiral out of control this time she is going to beat them to it. This will be Britney’s first book written by the singer herself.

LINDSAY LOHAN-INTERVIEW MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 2009

frh_720099_images_3018_081039_loc.jpg
Check out this sneak peek of February’s 2009 Interview magazine, featuring a very candid interview, with Lindsay Morgan Lohan. LML is posed in a new black and white photo shoot and the interviewer was none other than Lauren Hutton. Here’s what the 22-year-old starlet opens up about:

On the public’s misconception of her:
“I wanted to be a movie star [growing up]. But movie stars are not what they used to be. When I was a kid, I thought movie stars were women and men who were in these great films that we still look at now. But I don’t think there are too many films coming out these days that we’re going to look at in the future and say, ‘This is one of the great ones.’ Like, what is the great film that I will tell my children about? I’m still going to tell them about the old films, the Hitchcock films. And people my age don’t even know who those people are. I can’t even have a conversation with most people of my generation about that, because they’d be like, ‘Okay, she’s a freak. Something’s wrong with her.’ And the worst part is, in terms of what people see of me, I have become this girl who just loves to be photographed, doesn’t know how to focus, doesn’t know how to work on set, just loves the attention, knows how to go out at night, knows how to party.”

On not getting the same opportunities as other actresses: “But it’s so impossible for me to actually [go someplace where no one knows me]. When I was in Dubai, there was still press lined up around the hotel. So I find it close to impossible to actually do that. I mean, it is what it is. This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that’s what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don’t get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to last forever.

On being in Hollywood to act, not to become a celebrity: “I just feel as though it’s become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there’s no real person inside of it. I mean, people really have come to believe-directors, producers, agents, whoever it may be-that I started in this because I wanted to be a celebrity. But that was never my intention.”

KRISTEN STEWART IS A RUNAWAY

kristen-stewart.jpg
Twilight star Kristen Stewart is going to play famous rock’n'roller Joan Jett in “The Runaways,” the rock n’ roll biopic of the 1970s all-girl band. The screenplay was written by Video director Floria Sigismondi, who will also be directing. While John Jett, Art Linson and River Road Entertainment's Bill Pohlad are producing. Jett will also act as an executive producer.

The Runaways were hugely influential as the first successful all-girl hard rock band; its members included guitarists Jett and Lita Ford, drummer Sandy West, singer-keyboardist Cherie Currie and bassist Jackie Fox. The band was brought together in late 1975 by impresario Kim Fowley, who thought a novelty act of teenaged girls performing in leather and lace would be an easy sell, but the girls ended up proving to be serious and influential musicians with songs like "Cherry Bomb." The band lasted about four years together, falling apart over management and money issues.

Fresh from the success of "Twilight," Kristen Stewart is set to portray Joan Jett. Stewart gushed in a interview that the movie will follow the '70s all-girl band, The Runaways, from the time it was formed to the break-up. "It's about the forming and death of this band, and it launched Joan Jett's career and she became the icon for females in rock and roll," she shared. "It's an absolutely insane concept for me to even think that I'm going to play her, but apparently I got the job so I'm going to give it all I've got."

River Road Entertainment hopes to go into production in 2009 but will have to work around Stewart’s prior commitments to the two Twilight sequels.

PENN BADGLEY PROVES HE'S A PLAYER IN THIS MONTH'S GQ

penn-balls.jpg
Gossip Girl stud Penn Badgley is featured in the “AMERICAN SPLENDOR” section of the latest issue of GQ. The hunk is shown in the essential pieces of sartorial Americana.

The OMFG breakout star has made a career of playing angst-ridden students. His most famous and most recent part, he actually almost turned down saying, “All I knew was that I’d already done three WB shows,” Badgley says, “and that it was called Gossip Girl. Thankfully, he reconsidered. Although Penn admits that playing Dan Humphrey is way too easy. Gossip Girl has let him venture into new directions, giving him enough teen cred to do a Midwest college tour this past October in support of Obama, a cause he’d have bled for. The show also helped out with his love life too, dating co-star Blake Lively.

The issue reveals that the 22-year-old actor was named after the Penn tennis balls that his dad nervously squeezed during his mom’s first sonogram. And that he is excited for new challenges with his career saying “I can do this role with my eyes closed and my arms behind my back. What I’m looking for now is something challenging… I always joke with the show’s creators, ‘Anytime you want me to do drugs or contemplate suicide, I’ll do it.’ ”

JENNIFER ANISTON NUDE - GQ COVER

jen.jpg
Jennifer Aniston poses in nothing but a necktie on the January '09 cover of GQ magazine. The jaw dropping cover shoot and inside spread have Aniston sprawled in the raw across a group of undressed male models. But these aren’t just any male models, you may recognize one of the buff boys as the "face" of Armani Exchange’s underwear campaign, Clint Mauro. Clint became the A|X icon last fall with the launch of the new Armani Exchange underwear collection.

Aniston sure knows a thing or two about revealing interviews. The ultimate Girl Next Door addresses rumors about John Mayer, Angelina Jolie, and the downfalls of Hollywood in the candid interview.

On why she thinks people are still interested in her split with Brad:
[Jokingly] The funny thing is that people don't realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends... No. But can you imagine? That'd be hysterical: I've got Zahara on my hip, and Knox..."

Aniston told the mag that her relationship with Brad and Angelina is an "insane Bermuda Triangle."

Joking aside, she says she and Pitt do speak from time to time: ""When there's something to congratulate or celebrate, there's an exchange," she said. "But there's no charge on it."

On Jolie's revelation that she and Pitt fell in love during the making of Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
"Considering the source," Aniston says, "nothing surprises me."

On her on-again boyfriend John Mayer:
"Honestly, did not know much about him before I met him. I'd heard ... you know, uh 'Your Body' - that song. But what I can say is that I had no idea what an extraordinary musician he is. And it's just great to sit and be witness t that. It's kind of like, Whoa!"

On the rumors surrounding Jen and John:
"I am not having his baby. And I have not popped the question."

Aniston's next film called Pumas, which she calls "sort of a female Wedding Crashers" about two "aspiring cougars":
"It is so a comment on the sexual double standard, and what's been ironic is how hard it's been to get this movie made... Studios want it, but they are afraid of Middle America. They'd want to change it; they're saying, 'Oh, you can't do that, people just can't imagine you..."

What she sees as a disturbing problem in Hollywood:
"Look, I think all women on some level just want to rage against the machine... There are too many movies out there that don't empower women, movies in which their only way of being happy is finding a man. And you know, that's not my favorite theme."

The January issue of GQ hits newsstands December 23 but you can see more of Armani Exchange model Clint Mauro in the "behind the scenes" A|X Underwear campaign below.

Watch out Carrie Bradshaw. There's a new gal in town in her own search for love, success and fame. Bubbly blonde "IT" girl Whitney Port is trading in Los Angeles and The Hills for her own NYC reality show, The City. Whitney Port is starting things off right in NYC -- making friends with A|X Fall 2007 model Adam Senn, the city's number one “social” Olivia Palermo, and gracing the cover for the latest issue of Page Six like a true New Yorker.

At the shoot, Page Six notes "Whitney was just as sweet and stylish as she appears on TV. But she also wasn’t afraid to dish, either. She revealed that you’re going to see a whole other side to her on the new reality show. While she kept her private life very private on The Hills, she’s inviting us in to see her navigate through relationship ups and downs and work drama, while fighting off homesickness. It has all the makings of must-see TV.” Fans will no doubt be glued to their TV sets for Whitney's spin-off show, The City. Page Six Magazine Talent Director Patty Adams says; “We are dubbing Whitney the new Carrie Bradshaw: the fashion-forward girl about town who’s taking New York City by storm."

TAYLOR MOMSEN GOES FROM "GOSSIP GIRL" TO "IT GIRL"

it-girl-taylor.jpg
The CW network, known for keeping the gossip spinning with their hit show “Gossip Girl”, is rumored to be testing a possible spin-off series of the drama-feast in an episode to air later this season.

It looks like “Little J” is bored with the backstabbing stunts of others and ready to take a slice at her social scandal. According to reports, an upcoming episode may double a test pilot for the possible spin-off “It Girl”, following the story of aspiring fashion maven Jenny Humphrey (played by Taylor Momsen), who ditches New York’s Upper East Side to start some trouble at boarding school.

And sharpen your knifes because there is talk that everybody’s favorite psycho-social, Georgina Sparks, is returning from boarding school to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting Upper East Side gossipmongers. Michelle Trachtenberg, who plays Georgina, will be back on the CW show, according to series creator Josh Schwartz. “It’s safe to say you haven’t seen the last of her,” he told a crowd of fans at a panel discussion in NYC.

According to sources, this plot twist is still in the early planning stages—there's no deal or script done yet—but it's in the works for the last third of season two and looks like the return of the bad girl is going to bring a wicked winter chill for all involved.

HUGH JACKMAN HEATS UP VANITY FAIR ITALIA

hugh-jackman-vfi.jpg
Australian hunk actor Hugh Jackman reigns as PEOPLE’ s new Sexiest Man Alive for 2008. And now he's wearing boxing gloves and (im)posing Wolverine-style for the latest “not-to-be-missed” issue of 2008 Vanity Fair Italia magazine. Riding high on the likely success of his latest flick, Australia, Hugh has taken this opportunity to reach out to his fans and prove that he indeed is the sexiest man alive on this planet.

In his upcoming outback flick, Australia, there are some pretty hot scenes between him and costar Nicole Kidman (also a dear friend of his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness). The mag asks him about the on-screen love affair and Hugh responds: 'Nicole and I have known each other for a lifetime. We talk honestly with one another. My wife understands that it's work.

To prepare for the rugged role, Jackson spent months on horseback. He wanted moviegoers to feel that he’d “been on that horse their whole life. Jackman stated: “When I watch a great rider, there’s something beautiful about watching their comfort and their ease.”

In a statement to the press about his “Sexiest Man Alive” People cover, Jackman finds the humor in it.

“We ran a very strong campaign. I’m not proud of it - I can admit it now - but we’re the first to run a negative campaign,” he joked. “We spent years bringing Clooney, Pitt, Damon all down to size. I was prepared to do absolutely anything.”

This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I have been through and where I’m headed. I have really good days, and then I have bad days. Even when you go to jail, you know, there’s the time when you’re gonna get out. But in this situation, it’s never ending. It’s just like movie ‘Groundhog Day".

Get ready to see about her new life after the evaluation, "which she says is too constraining and controlled". She says in an MTV promotion for the documentary “I sit there and I’ll look back and I'm like, ‘I’m a smart person. Like what the h*ll was I thinkin?’" But Spears has spent the last few months steadily working on a comeback, and with her new album “Circus” due in stores in December.

BLAKE LIVELY IS RED HOT FOR W MAGAZINES DECEMBER COVER

1208_cover.jpg
Blake Lively is one of the hottest young stars out there right now, making a name for herself as one of the “It Girls” due to her role on the hit CW series Gossip Girl. Blake is steaming up the pages of W magazine this month showing off the best new American Fashion in the December 2008 issue.

With such stardom many people wonder if she has let the fame get to her head, W learned that she still comes across as very down to Earth. The 21-year-old star gets candid about her off-screen romance with Gossip Girl’s on-screen hottie Penn Badgley, and rumors of a “feud” between her co-star Leighton Meester. Check out some of the interview below:

On the perks of stardom: “I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags. I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones—the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kind that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots.”

On her aversion to partying: “I don’t really like to go out. I’ll go listen to live jazz,, but the club scene isn’t so fun for me.”

On denying gossip of real life tension with her co-star Leighton Meester: "I’ve never really had a competitive relationship in any work situation. The media is always trying to pit us against each other, I guess because it’s just not interesting to say, ‘Everyone gets along; everybody just works 18-hour days and goes home to sleep.’ That’s not fun to read, I guess.”

On transitioning from movies to television: “I’ve been learning as I’m going along. I thought, Okay, I’ll try a movie. And I was loving films, so I thought, No, I don’t want to try TV. But now I’m loving being on the show more than I ever could have imagined. It has been just the most amazing experience anybody could ever ask for. It’s such a blessing.”

On how the gossip cast is expected to get through a 55 page script every eight days: “You get used to it. I can read a four-page scene once and have it memorized. It’s a skill you learn in school: disposable cramming. We’re flying by the seat of our pants a lot of times, which is why I enjoy doing films. It’s a change of pace. It sounds cheesy, but with a film, you get to let each scene marinate.”

RYAN REYNOLDS RUNS NYC MARATHON

ryan-reynolds-nyc-marathon.jpg
Ryan Reynolds completed the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday. Ryan commented "I'm still standing. I'm very excited about that," he told reporters after crossing the finish line in 3 hours and 50 minutes, faster than he anticipated.

"It was an incredible experience." He was determined to hit the finish line to honor his father Jim, who has spent the last 15 years battling Parkinson's. Reynolds says in the last leg of the race, he was motivated to keep going by one special spectator. "When I saw Michael J. Fox on Fifth Avenue, I gained about 15 pounds in goose bumps," said Reynolds. "It kind of pushed me through the last six miles or so."

"During the race I thought a lot about my father and Michael and the 500,000 other people afflicted with this awful disease in the United States alone. I ran for those who can't."

Reynolds's mother Tammy and brother Terry greeted him with hugs at the finish line in Central Park.

Ryan finished the 26.2mile race at a very respectable 3:50:22 with his wife there to cheer him on. Mr. Reynolds, runner number 14778, ran for Team Fox of the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

CHACE CRAWFORD IS ON THE COVER OF VMAN

chace.jpg
Chace Crawford graces the cover of VMAN magazine’s first-ever winter issue this month. Looking polished and preppy, the Gossip GIrl hunk is featured in a series of stunning images captured by renowned photographer Mario Testino, who served as the issue’s guest editor.

VMAN editor Jesse Ashlock says that Chace "embodies the kind of emerging star VMAN strives to celebrate. As Mario Testino’s images show, he’s classic, yet completely of this moment, and he’s ambitious without taking himself too seriously.”

For his career, Chace credits his breakout star status on chance. “I never planned on being an actor. It sort of fell into my lap rather quickly,” he explains, revealing that soon after leaving college to try his hand at acting, he landed a role in the 2006 supernatural thriller The Covenant, then struck gold a few months later when he was cast as Nate Archibald in Gossip Girl.

But his skyrocketing fame has not come without consequences. Regarding the paparazzi and tabloid stories he faces on a daily basis, Chace says: “I let it roll off my back. There’s a lot of speculation with no reality to it, complete fabrications about my private life. It’s just comical.”

And while teenage girls everywhere openly love Gossip Girl, Chace is very aware of the show’s popularity with the adult world. “I’ll be out on the golf course," he says. “And some guy will come up to me, sort of sheepishly, and be like, ‘Hey, my wife really loves the show. And I’m like, “C’mon man, you love the show.’”

blake_ernie_lively.jpg

Gossip Girl Blake Lively shows how important family is when the starlet made a frantic flight from NY to LA to be at the hospital bedside of her father, actor Ernie Lively, who was seriously injured in an car wreck. Blake's father was injured in the early morning hours of Oct. 13 and was taken to an undisclosed Los Angeles hospital where he is being treated for a broken back as well as arm and nose.

“It was pretty bad — he’s lucky to be alive,” a source tells Star. “They are as close as any father and daughter could be — she was beside herself when she got this horrible news. Her dad taught her everything.”

Blake’s mom, Elaine tells Us Weekly: “He’s going to make a full recovery, thankfully. It was a horrific accident. He was on his way to the set of Criminal Minds, and he swerved to miss a car, and he tumbled down an embankment. Blake is here, the whole family is here, and yesterday it didn’t look good. But thankfully, now we have been told he is going to make a full recovery. It’s all been taken care of. [Ernie] suffered back injuries, and also his lungs. But it if far less serious than we thought yesterday. We do not know when he will be out of hospital. We are just happy he is going to be OK.”

Best wishes to the entire Lively family.

COSMO GIRL SCARLETT JOHANSSON SHOWS HER TRUE COLORS

ScarJo-Cover-medium.jpg
Newlywed Scarlett Johansson got all dolled up in red, white and blue for the patriotic cover of November's CosmoGirl. The sexy actress agreed to appear on the cover of the upcoming issue of CosmoGirl November (08) if she could use her accompanying interview to urge young people to vote for a new U.S. President.

Mrs. Reynolds opened up in this months issue and chatted with the magazine about her experiences on everything from the campaign trail, bonding with her brother, what makes her happy and more

Check out some of the highlights below:
On what it’s like talking to college students about the election during the primaries: It was amazing that these kids are just so well-informed and so interested. There were really obscure questions and debates that they wanted to lead — I couldn’t believe it! And it was amazing how many of these kids turned out. We made the environment friendly. I’m 23, and all of these kids are probably between 16 to 24. They’re my peers, so we can all talk on the same wavelength. We’re all connected by the same issues.

On celebrity endorsements during presidential elections: In this day and age, the media has this 24-hour news cycle that they need to fulfill their obligation to. And it seems like celebrities are a huge part of that, so it just seems unavoidable. It’s important to bring to light certain issues. If this spotlight is already shining on me and I feel like there’s a worthwhile cause, then why not direct it toward that? I hope that my [involvement] encourages the youth population to go out and inform themselves.

On giving brother Hunter advice on dating: You know what? It is true, actually. Who else has he got? I’m the first source, right? He gets a firsthand point of view from a girl his same age. I love it. I feel like it’s something nice that we can bond over.

On true equality existing in our country: I think that we still live in a country that’s sexist and racist. Those are issues that we deal with whether we want to ignore it or not. Seeing how the media portrayed Hillary [Clinton] with unbelievable sexism — some of the things that people were saying were just so overwhelming. You just couldn’t believe the names that they were calling her! As much as I feel like there is this American Dream that is an equal opportunity to succeed, I don’t think that it is a reality. I’m not pessimistic, though. I think we have the potential to someday reach that.

On what makes her happy: "Things that make me happy are being with my friends and family, and also things like a challenge — using my brain, you know? That makes me feel good. When I’m challenged and when I feel like I want to get to the bottom of something, when I’m engaged, that makes me happy. Being engaged in something or bettering myself in some way."

ADRIEN BRODY FEELS AT HOME WITH GIORGIO ARMANI

Adrien_Brody_GA.jpg
The Darjeeling Limited star Adrien Brody bought his dream home last summer - A 19th century farm in the countryside of upstate New York. The actor bought the home as a special birthday present for actress girlfriend Elsa Pataky.

The couple, refusing to hire professionals to finish the property, has spent their free time redesigning and decorating it. Brody has since requested the help of close pal Giorgio Armani to help design the interiors of his home.

Brody says, "We prefer to do it ourselves. I think it's very important to be involved personally with anything creative. I cannot just hand things over. I've got lots of ideas and I can't just let somebody else do it. It doesn't feel as rewarding as doing it yourself - no architects, no property specialists, none of that - although we do have good friends who help us out."

Brody says "One day I wrote a letter to Giorgio Armani asking him if he'd be interested in helping us. He loved the idea and got personally involved."

Brody admits there is so much work to do on the castle and believes he will be devoting the rest of his life to renovating it. He adds, "It's never going to be finished. It's a life project, whether I like it or not! I think that there's beauty in that…acknowledging that something can never be really finished. I think that this farm can constantly evolve."

THE BOYS OF GOSSIP GIRL ON THE COVER OF DETAILS IN NOVEMBER

details.jpg
Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, and Penn Badgley, the three lead males, of the CW’s Gossip Girl smash series, are featured on the November issue of Details Magazine. Below is a sneak preview of the interview:

Chace on after his touch-ups are done: “I literally go into the bathroom and wipe off one layer [of makeup. My occasional zit is] a big deal—oh, they turn on the alarms for that. And they get mad if I get sunburned or if I get a haircut.”

Chace on being contracted for six years, like his costars: “It never really gets frustrating. Sure, sometimes you just want to have a scene where you’re drunk or having fun. I’m hoping for a fall from grace for Nate. Five years from now, I better have murdered someone!”

Penn on his on-and-off-screen relationship with costar Blake Lively (they were home-schooled together): “[It's] wonderful and also something to grapple with [in terms of mixing work and pleasure]. You have to draw the line somewhere. I’m fine talking about my family and personal history, because it humanizes you. But I have to save some s— for me.”

Ed on Penn’s chest hair: “Penn said he has to shave his chest hair because it’s threatening “Reeeaallly … Well, I think Penn’s chest hair may be more like a scaahf. It actually comes out of his neck! So maybe that’s why he has to cut it. Threatening? I don’t know what threatening hair would look like. We’d have to get Penn here to see!”

Ed on being miserable approaching the end of school in the U.K.:”I don’t understand how the government expects a 16-year-old to know what they want to do. It made me incredibly anxious and upset.”

Yesterday was a very busy day for Britney Spears as she spent much of her day in NYC doing good deeds for children in need. The 26 year old pop princess posed with children at John Philip Sousa M.S. 142 in NYC and presented $10,000 for an endowment for the school’s music program.

“I really enjoyed the time I spent at the John Philip Souza Middle School,” Spears told People. “I’ve been working with the people at Elizabeth Arden for the last five years, and I know how passionate everyone is about the school. I loved hearing the school orchestra and the children sang so beautifully. The fact that Elizabeth Arden made such a large donation for the school music studio in my name was so generous.”

As night fell, Britney Spears decided it was time for some fun. The “Gimme More” starlet was spotted visiting the SoHo house for dinner before heading over to the Box night club in New York City, looking stunning in a close-fitting royal blue v-neckline dress with dark heels.

JAMES FRANCO IS OUT MAGAZINES MR.NOVEMBER

francoout.jpg
Actor James Franco is Mr. November appearing on this month's Cover of Out magazine. The cover screams tag line "GOT MILK?" to help hype his new flick "Milk" which is said to be released mid November.

The movie's story "Milk" charts the last eight years of Harvey Milk’s life. Harvey Milk was California's first openly gay elected official and was later assassinated, along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone Franco's starring opposite Sean Penn

It was OUT magazine that James Franco told about Sean Penn's "popping the cherry" text to Madonna, Sean Penn was so excited by his first on screen gay kiss, he text ex-wife Madonna to boast staing, "I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why"

Franco also said of Penn: "At one point during rehearsals, the idea was thrown out that Sean and I would go to the apartment that we eventually shot in and spend a night or two there just to, like — I don’t know what — feel comfortable with each other? That idea was kind of thrown out but ended up not happening because of scheduling. I approached the relationship part as I would approach any relationship. When I’m working with another actor or actress that I’m supposed to have a relationship with, I’ll look for things in the person I like. My other hero on the film was Sean, so it wasn’t too hard to look up to him — or whatever that is....Basically, I’ve been in love with him since even before Fast Times."

LINDSAY LOHAN CONFIRMS RELATIONSHIP WITH SAMANTHA RONSON

lohan-ronson-emmys-2008-2.jpg
After months of refusing to comment on the public speculation about their relationship, our favorite actress Lindsay Morgan Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson finally confirmed their relationship on loveline a L.A. radio call-in show last night. The couple called into the show to chat with DJ Ted Stryker about DJ AM's recent survival of a plane crash that killed four other passengers.

As the conversation was wrapping up, Stryker casually asked Lindsay on air, "Now, you guys, you and Samantha have been going out for how long now? Like two years? One year? Five months? Two months?" Lohan responded, "A long...a very long time."
"I hope you guys stay together, you're a very lovely looking couple," Stryker added, to which Lindsay replied, "Thank you very much."

Lindsay Morgan and Ronson have accompanied each other almost everywhere for over two years now, attend events together, wear matching rings, kiss in public, and have had their relationship captured in numerous photographs.

KATIE HOLMES MAKES HER BROADWAY DEBUT LAST NIGHT

katie-holmes-broadway-9188-61.jpg
Katie Holmes has been working 12-hour, 7-day weeks in order to prepare for her first big role on Broadway in the musical “All My Sons.” Last night at New York City’s Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre all her hard work finally paid off as the starlet gave it her all at the opening preview performance. Katie Holmes was all smiles during the curtain call of the opening night.

Before the show, the 29-year-old actress and costar John Lithgow stood outside the theater to take photographs for paparazzi and fans. Husband Tom Cruise, of course, was there on opening night to lend his support. When asked for his verdict on Holmes’ performance, Cruise stopped for a moment while moving through the crowd at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, telling The Associated Press: “Did you see it? It was extraordinary.”

Hundreds of fans bought tickets to see Holmes act on Broadway for the first time in a preview performance for the revival of “All My Sons,” co-starring John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson. As the show opened Holmes and her fellow cast members stepped out on stage to start the play, which officially opens Oct. 16.

If Holmes felt nervous and jittery, she didn’t show it. She delivered her lines with confidence and projected her girlish voice so it could be heard loud and clear. She danced around on stage with gusto. She looked lovely in two dresses that highlighted her trim yet shapely figure. She wore a brown shoulder-length hairpiece to hide her trendy pixie cut.

And she received a standing ovation afterward. It’s safe to say that no one probably clapped harder than Cruise. The role calls for Holmes’character — named Ann — to be at turns winsome and willful, and theatergoer Diane Yatauro thinks she nailed it. “It was a very tough role in that she had to be delicate and hurt and strong,” said Yatauro, 54, of Glen Cove, N.Y. “She was playing against some heavyweights who’ve been around for a long time and she held her own.”

The 29-year-old star — accompanied by Lithgow, stopped to pose for photographers outside and called her performance “fine.” She and Lithgow then jumped into a black SUV that sped them away from the surrounding media and fan frenzy. Stay tuned for more reviews on Holmes fantastic performance!

Megan Fox is heating up the over of GQ's October issue. The 22 year old Transformer hottie shows off her curvy figure for the magazine's cover in black bikini. Besides the cover shoot, Fox is also photographed for some other sultry poses inside the magazine. She's seen in one pic wearing a white bikini, coming out of a swimming pool and is also photographed posing in pink bikini, having her mouth open as she plays with an ice cube.

In the magazine, Megan is honest about her limitations as an actress: "I've done one movie. And it’s not a movie I want to stand on as far as acting ability goes. I mean—I'm not going to win an Oscar anytime soon. I’m not Meryl Streep.” She also admitted that she's "very excited to be involved with GQ", stating it as such a "great magazine."

Megan didn't hold anything back in her interview when asked about thinking we shouldn’t be such prudes: she commented “Sex is something that everyone does, so why can’t I talk about it?”

JAMES FRANCO STARS IN "HOWL"

JamesFranco.jpg
Our favorite hunk James Franco has signed on to star in the Gus Van Sant-produced Allen Ginsberg biopic Howl. James Franco will play the young poet as he composes the epic poem that landed him in a famous courtroom battle over obscenity. The movie, written and directed by documentaries Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, will also feature David Strathairn, Alan Alda, Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise Parker and Paul Rudd. The film is said to focus on the obscenity trial surrounding the 1957 American publication of Ginsberg's most famous poem, "Howl."

In addition to starring in “Howl” James Franco is now an Ivy League student as well. James Franco has recently enrolled in writing school to hone in on his writing skills at Columbia University’s MFA program.

News of this has traveled fast. It seems like many Columbians have been desperate to catch the star's attention whenever he makes a public appearance. Reports recently said while studying in a campus coffee shop, a crowd had formed around him like "cats in heat". “ About 20 minutes later, people start hoarding around the entrance of the cafe, and by 11:50PM, most Columbians, particularly the freshman girl were all harassing the poor guy. At first, he would try not to respond. This made things quite awkward since the girls were shameless enough to literally go right up to him in attempts to get his attention. They were crowding around him and staring into his face and his emails on his mac. He thought his headphones had the power to transport him into another world where he could be a student in peace."

Hopefully Mr. Franco will not go overboard in his attempts to mimic Ginsberg, if he goes too far he might end up getting kicked out of Columbia. “Howl” is slated to be released sometime in 2009.

9.11
waking up in nyc this morning 7 years later and it feels like just yesterday this city and our worlds were turned upside down.... never in my lifetime had I ever believed that I would see such horror- the kind that you see in documentaries set in far off places and read about in text books- never in my life had I ever thought that I would wake up and fall asleep afraid- watching things on television that felt like a film- walking through a city that felt like a war zone. there were army vehicles on houston street, barricades dividing neighbourhoods and lines around the block of people waiting to donate blood set in front of a backdrop of smoke filling a space where two of the largest buildings once stood. Two buildings that shaped one of the most famous skylines in this country, or in the world...... Seven years later and I will never forget. I don’t really know what to say except to all those we lost we will never forget and never take for granted the sacrifices that you made. 

xoxo

Well said.
