Ah, they lost in Detroit, it goes to game 6 on friday.
Sofia Coppola, left, and French singer Thomas Mars arrive for the screening of the film "Marie-Antoinette," at the 59th International film festival in Cannes last week. Coppola is expecting a baby, due this winter, People magazine reported today on its Web site. Mars is the lead singer for that band Phoenix. Congratulations to them both!

Singer Mariah Carey watches as a 16-foot tall replica of her legs is revealed as she's named the first "Celebrity Legs of a Goddess," in New York today. The event was part of a promotion as Gillette begins a nationwide search for the most beautiful legs in the United States. 

Actor Vince Vaughn, left, talks in the dugout with Chicago Cubs manager Dusty Baker before throwing out the first pitch before the start of the Cubs baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday at Wrigley Field in Chicago. I love this guy! I don't care about him and Aniston, I just want him to be in another Swingers-type movie with Jon Favreau. Though I heard Favreau is in The Break Up movie. What a crowd pleaser, everything this guy says is funny to me!

I think it's interesting to look at the differences in the Superman costume from the 1978 version to the 2006 version. A major difference I see is the toned down colors. The blues are bluer but it seems the red cape is toned down, and I read it doesn't have an "S" on the back either. Also the new costume has tiny little S's semi-preforrated all around it, that's kinda overdoing it, but still, a very cool detail.
Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner holds a birthday cake with girlfriends Kendra Wilkinson, left, Bridget Marquardt, second left and Holly Madison, right, during a photocall to celebrate his 80th birthday at the 59th International film festival in Cannes today. 



Man this is great! Borat in Cannes! Apparently Sacha Baron Cohen is shooting new Borat episodes. He's a genius, but you can see people are hip to it already.


I love Kirsten Dunst. I love Sofia Coppola. Here they are presenting their movie Marie-Antoinette at the Cannes Film Festival. (where else?) People are so hard on Kiki on gossip blogs, they call her "troll" and other names. I really don't see why, she's beautiful. I think she's a big star, and I especially love her crooked tooth. It's special. I think she's got a great body too, check out her bikini pictures from Cannes. 
















I love this whole video game promotion world. It's so transparent to me, although millions must be buying right into it. Just get a bunch of hot chicks, take suggestive pictures of them in hot-pants playing the video games, and wait for every gamer out there to salivate over them. Give them the "hope" that they can hook up with a girl like that. These gamer conventions have an eerie similarity to porno conventions. And why not? I mean, after the gamer is finally tired of Counterstrike, what does he naturally do? Look up porn.
Dude, she looks horrible in that dress! Is it supposed to look like tumors are bulging out of her thighs? If so, then it works. Otherwise, wow, what a big mistake. I think she's a good actress, but she's been in some shitty movie recently. Ever seen Confessions of an American Girl? It's unwatchable. Well, I really hope her newer movies do better. And she needs to fire her stylist, like, today.
Finally, a premiere that ISN'T in Cannes this week. The much talked about movie starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston is finally here, or at least in L.A. Check out Aniston in the car before she gets out. She doesn't look too happy! And notice that for the red carpet they tried not to be photographed together, so the photogs snapped pics of both of them with the image of the other on the poster in the backround. Interesting. Though they did pose for a group shot together once they were inside.



Cate Blanchett showing up at Cannes for the interviews, premieres, photo-calls, etc. She looks great! I'm a big fan of her work, and I can;t wait to see the new movie she's in, Babel. Look at her in both getups, the clothes are really out there, but for some reason she tones them down. She know how to wear clothes. She's great, I can see why designers love her wearing their clothes.


I thought this was pretty Useless. She's taking a picture of Brett Ratner with some unidentified model. I've always thought celebrities were pretty stupid to take pictures of themselves with shitty cameras. Especially since they have pros following them everyday with state of the art equipment. Do they really need a crappy picture of themselves? You know their respective agencies can pick up a way better version from gettyimages.com.
Jessica Simpson without make-up. = A Socialites Life
Guess who was in Cannes as well, at the premiere for X-Men 3? Our favorite little spoiled girl, Paris Hilton. Damn, this girl is everywhere! And when the hell is her CD coming out, finally? I'm dying to hear it.



Yes, this is a post about a chair. An Eames lounge chair and ottoman made from molded rosewood plywood, with black leather upholstery and aluminum from the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Art Museum. New York's Museum of Art and Design has an exhibition entitled The Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of Modern Design running until Sept.3, 2006.
Marilyn Manson, right, and his wife Dita Von Teese arrive for the screening of the film Southland Tales at the 59th International film festival in Cannes, southern France today. 

50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) promotes his new film Home of the Brave by American director Irwin Winkler at the 59th International film festival in Cannes today. From Queens to Cannes, you gotta love it.

Here is a big picture post on Avril Lavigne arriving for the screening of the film Over the Hedge at the Cannes Film Festival. Damn, she looks great! Doesn't she?














Elisha Cuthbert Parties it up. = A Socialites Life
Three things strike me about these pictures.
I bet Belinda Carlisle has been living a good life since "We Got The Beat," "Vacation," and "Our Lips Are Sealed." But it seems the ride is over. They're out there again, putting themselves on Pizza commercials ("We Got the Meat" Papa Johns spot), and performing on NBC's Today Show.

I never go by rumors when I read about celebrities and who are supposedly dating. So, when I heard about Bruce Willis and Petra Nemcova, I was weary. But now that I see them together in France, I see the huge smile on Bruce's face, and I now believe.



The new Apple computer store opens today at 6:00 pm on New York's 5th Avenue. They say it's the most innovatively designed store yet. And it looks that way. The entrance is a glass cube which has a stairway going into the underground store. How bad ass is that?


The Brandon Davis/Paris Hilton video. = The Superficial
Ah, Yes! I told you the Cannes Film Festival was going to give us great shit. Here is the first casualty of the red carpet, actress Phoebe Price caught on thousands of different cameras by hundreds of agencies. Well, here are AP and Getty's takes. Enjoy!


Remember this idiot who left Sophia Bush for some high school chick? Yeah, they were at the CW network premiere thing in New York.

Some O.C. fans are upset at Mischa Barton for spilling the beans on her character Marissa Cooper on the hit show The O.C. Apparently she told Access Hollywood that her character dies in the season finale, before it airs tonight. Here's the story. And here is my excuse to post Mischa Barton pictures. She is so gorgeous.



I've been a fan of Amy Smart for a while now. Road Trip is a great film. She's got a new show on CBS called "Smith" and here she is promoting it at the CBS event in New York.




I hate Soccer. Soccer sucks. It's the worst sport ever. I wish we could eradicate the sport of soccer in all parts of the world. Since that is never going to happen all I can do is point out all the evil things that occur in the world due to this horrendous sport. Starting today, with these series of photos.




I'm now watching Blow Out reruns on Bravo. The show is so great. The last 2 reruns deal with Brandon, the stylist Jonathan fired from his salon for being too immature. Now Brandon has his own reality show on Bravo, it's called Salon Diaries.
Former daredevil Evel Knievel is seen here with his long time partner Krystal Kennedy-Knievel and their dog, Rocket in Clearwater, Florida. Knievel has trouble now just walking from his condo to the pool. His 67-year-old body is broken by years of spectacular crashes and ravaged by a multitude of serious ailments. What a badass.
I had to put these up. No story. No plug. Just some good ol' hatin'. She's like 4 feet tall! She's so annoying! Look at the way that dude from the home design show and the fat girl with chicken legs are looking at her! Priceless. How about that group photo? She's like 2 feet shorter than Brenda Strong.


Tomorrow's Independent has been taken over by U2 frontman, Bono. Check out the front cover!



I'm so over the "OVER-promotion" of big movies. We went through hell already with Sharon Stone and more recently Tom Cruise. Okay, so The Da Vinci Code opens in Cannes tomorrow, and then in the US on the 19th, so here is Tom Hanks with Audrey Tautou and now let's get over it.
Czech model Veronica Varekova says the upcoming issue of Maxim magazine unlawfully uses a photograph of her scantily clad on its cover. "They put me on the cover without my permission," the model told The Associated Press today. "They have no right to do it." “I think it’s a question of choice,” she says. “This is my business, this is what I do.”
She's right! Veronica Varekova is standing up for her image! Awesome! I love models.


Boy, there's nothing out there today, so I'm posting fashion.








Bravest little kitty in the world. = Bag of Nothing
Cicso Alder says his band Whitestarr's first single "Sunshine Girl" is NOT about his current girlfriend Mischa Barton, but rather about his ex-girlfriend Kimberly Stewart (Rod's daughter). He goes on to say, "Most of the record is. Every girl I've ever been with has probably made it into a song. My vice has always been women. That's what causes the drama in my life."




Ever since the Lindsay Lohan SNL skit about the coinslot cream, I've been waiting for a coinslot slip picture, and here it is! It's Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy bending over just a bit too much.
Geri Halliwell has given birth to a baby girl, Sunday, May 14, 2006 at London's Portland Hospital, according to a report Monday in the Sun newspaper. I wrote about her stupid baby shower hosted by George Michael.
Actress Naomi Watts was named special representative for U.N. program on HIV/AIDS today.


Oh boy, I just love it when I read about how stupid models are. It really brings a tear to my eye, it's so beautiful. However dumb of a move they make, somehow it doesn't seem to matter. The bottom line is, they're pretty, and we forgive them.

Do we really need another Jennifer Lopez that bad? What is with Maxim magazine? They seemed to be obsessed with Eva Longoria! Guys, put down the K-Y already, she's not that good looking. Actually, I'd consider her average, at best, yet the desperate housewife repeated as the "numero uno" of the Hot 100 this year.
Christina Aguilera is naked on GQ. = Egotastic!
The 13th Annual Race to Erase M.S. event kicked off on Friday at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. The event featured fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger's '70s-themed designs with Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie walking out together in the show. 

Steven Spielberg played Nintendo Wii with Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary video game designer known as the Spielberg of video games, having created Mario and the Legend of Zelda at the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles on Friday.
Paris Hilton kisses the cartoon character Bugs Bunny as she arrives at a birthday party for Joe Francis, creator of the Girls Gone Wild franchise, at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.

Jenny McCarthy games with fans as part of the latest XBOX Live "Game With Fame" session during the opening day of the E3 convention in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Matt Damon in a field in Chongwe, Zambia, speaking with an organic cotton farmer. Damon returned April 29th from a six-day trip to Africa with a passion for fighting AIDS and praise for President Bush's relief program.
I'm a sucker for all of this uppity fashion crap. It's the perfect Useless Things post. No real story. No real purpose. Just a few Hi-Rez pics, and a shameless promotion of a product.

I'm an art fag. You can take the fag outta the art, but you can't take the art outta the fag. Or wait a minute, that didn't sound right. Whatever.
Lindsay Lohan at the Just My Luck premiere. = The Superficial
Wow, could these pictures be any less feminine?


I never thought I'd be defending anyone from the group 98 Degrees, but here I am, doing just that.
Supermodels Karolina Kurkova, Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima model self-designed angel wings at a promotional event at Victoria's Secret today in New York. The wings, crafted by Martin Izquierdo, will be auctioned off with proceeds going to a New York-area charity for at-risk youth.


As if we weren't lazy enough, the new Nintendo Wii system doesn't have a controller, apparently. It uses this weird remote control device that senses when you move it in your hand. Pretty cool. 
Has anyone been to Starbucks recently? Did you notice the Akeelah And The Bee theme that was going on? I did. At first I thought it was just the brainy brooding hipster Starbucks employee who wrote it on the chalkboard because he/she is just cool like that. You know? The Scrable aficionado who was bored at work one day and wanted to express his coolness with writing up the title of the cool new movie about a spelling bee, that only he/she knew about. 




I shouldn't be a jerk here, because after all Jennifer and Reese gave their time to watch a performance by children during a visit to a school in New Orleans today. And they met with families who are adjusting to life after the destructive Hurricane Katrina. But during the kid's play she started balling out, while Reese seemed to keep her cool. It's actually kind of sweet, but still funny, in a way. I like Jennifer Garner, she's a real talent, and 13 Going on 30 was awesome!

I already put up a list of her tidbits, now just look at the onslaught of photos I just found from her TRL visit, just hours ago. Check her out, poppin' a squat! She looks great, I can't talk crap. Useless Things is in a Lindsay Lohan forcefield, I only have good things to say.








Is it me, or do you get the feeling Luc Besson sleeps with all the actresses in his movies? I don't know why I get that feeling, I mean, he did go out with Milla Jovovich for a while, and he put her in almost every movie he did. Now, I look at these pictures of him and Rie Rasmussen at a photocall in Japan for their new movie Angel-A and I just see guilt in his eyes. A little too friendly, that's all. Just speculation. Come on, he does look like a sick little puppy, and she's totally hot.

I saw this picture in the wire services today, and thought it was kind of funny. The placement of the garbage can had to have been done on purpose. Is this foreshadowing where the movie will go after it comes out on May 19th?
Jaime Pressly was on hand to announce the Crown Royal "Your Name Here" promotion along with Jamie McMurray, driver of the #26 Crown Royal Ford car. 

It seems Eva Longoria was the missing link to finally producing the tackiest group ever, The Latin Spice Girls. 
I just downloaded a new rap song by T.I. that I got into, and then I read this:
A ball signed in 1961 by Yankee Hall of Famer player Joe DiMaggio and his wife Marilyn Monroe was sold at Heritage Auction Galleries for a record $191,200. That's the highest ever paid for an autographed baseball according to the auctioneer.
At least not anytime soon. She says in an interview with "Teen People" that she has watched her newly single sister "go through a really hard time" and that tying the knot "is definitely not on my mind."

Dominican composer Luis Dias is complaining about Colombian singer Shakira's use of a refrain from his original song "Baila En La Calle" after she supposedly used it without asking for authorization on her song "Hips Don't Lie."
Uh, this time around I decided to go with the Lucida Fax Bold typeface. It gave the ex the perfect size to show her buck teeth yet conceal the ugliness of her face. The serifs show the blockiness of the font, like the blockiness of her body in general. It works.

I finally got to watching the season finale of Blow Out. I hope they go for a 4rth season. Check out that website, it's really good, and has lots of videos of Jonathan. 
Irwin Winkler, right, director of the film Home of the Brave discusses a scene with Curtis James Jackson III, also known as 50 Cent, on the set in Spokane, Washington. Jackson plays a troubled veteran having difficulty readjusting to civilian life.
Hmm, well I get 73 hits. 4 pictures are from a story about "Derby Cruising" which is an annual festival in Kentucky where car enthusiasts cruise the streets. And then, let's see, that leaves 69 pictures of Tom Cruise to promote the MI3 picture! Well thats just what we need, 69 pictures of Tom Cruise scattered all through all the world, and that's just today!
Stephen Baldwin showed up to the HUGE premiere for Mission Impossible 3 today with a "Jesus" hat on. Ouch, is that a slap in the face to Mr. Scientology himself? 
Larry David and his wife Laurie David surprised a UCLA class as MTVU "Stand-In" professors. Then Larry presented student Erick Tarula with his very own Toyota Prius. Tarula was the winner of the "Curb Global Warming" sweepstakes. 


Okay, Okay, I did say the greatest movie of all time was Casino. And then I said it was The Karate Kid, but now I'm serious, I think Boogie Nights by Paul Thomas Anderson is the greatest movie of all time. If you have not seen this movie, then you need to go rent it, like, right now! Just stop reading this, and queue it up on your Netflix, or if you're still stuck in the 90's go to the Blockbuster near you and rent it! Actually, forget it, just buy it, you need it.
The pool party scene. Great music by War with "Spill The Wine" and great 70's dialogue. Becky tells Don Cheadle's character,"You need a new look!"
Great first scene between Mark Wahlberg and John C. Reilly. Nothing is said of any importance, but the feel of the movie is established. The momentum. Star Wars, bench pressing, and margaritas.
Great underwater shots. Canonballs and hot chicks in bikinis. So 70's it hurts.
But wait, this is not just a 70's disco movie, there might be some real acting going on here. A coked up Julianne Moore watches Mark Wahlberg take a dive to "Lonely Boy" by Andrew Gold.
"My wife has an ass in her cock in the drive way, all right? I'm sorry if my thoughts are not on the photography of the film we're shooting tomorrow!" Bill Macy's character is genius, as is his character in Magnolia.
The Party winds down, and Eddie Adam's tells Burt Reynolds about his dream persona, Dirk Diggler.
"Could you call me 'Dirk' from now on?" The transformation starts. Philip Seymour Hoffman and the pen in his mouth, so classic!
Burt looks on as Dirk does his first scene. He's not distracted when the mag runs out, and you get the feeling he's watching something bigger than anything he's ever done before. Classic line from Julianne Moore acting like a bad porno actress, "Let me just check something...That is a giant cock."
Let the good times roll! Enter the Pretty Woman-esque montage scene! Funny and poignant.
I thought this was a good grab. Dirk Diggler' peak.
The grainy 16mm scenes sliced into the movie were so funny. I remember laughing out loud in the theater.
Hoffman stole some major scenes as Scotty, the gay production assistant. "I'm a fuggin' idiot. I'm a fuggin' idiot. Fuggin' idiot, fuggin' idiot, fuggin' idiot... "
At the new years party 1979, Bill Macy calmly kills his wife, her lovers, and blows his brains out, the film stops in silence on this title card. Let the aftermath begin.....
Screen-grabbing an entire movie is hard. How could I have forgotten Rollergirl? "Amber, are you my mom? I'm gonna ask you, okay? And you say yes, okay? Amber, are you my mom?"
Alfred Molina is soooooooo good in the short time he's in this movie. Every time I hear Sister Christian , Jesses's Girl, or 99 luftballons, I think of THIS scene.
The long shot on Mark Wahlberg while all this crazy drug stuff is going on. The fact that there is no voice over to tell us what he is thinking made it even stronger. I believe this was his turning point.
The happy ending, sort of. With the best Beach Boys song ever. "God Only Knows."
Full circle. Back to square one. That is a huge dong. (It's fake)
ContactMusic.com is a pretty reputable source for Lohan news, so here is the latest from them:

There are some really, really nice clean pictures of Jewel today on the wires that I just had to post. Her new album Goodbye Alice in Wonderland hits stores Tuesday, May 2nd. Here is a little story about it. The article has the same pics, but mine are higher rez, as always.

My new girlfriend Karen O was there with her Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I really like their new album.



Oh, and finally, not that it's a big deal or anything but MADONNA was there too. She should have just stayed at home. She's bigger than Coachella.
