WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! The Detroit Red Wings have *just* defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals to win this year’s NHL Championship!!!!

Hockeytown is home to the Stanley Cup — again. Using a little Motown magic on the road, the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup for the fourth time in 11 seasons Wednesday night with a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 of the finals. The celebration came two nights later than expected. The Penguins forced the series back to Pennsylvania by tying Game 5 with 34.3 seconds left in regulation and winning it shortly before 1 a.m. in Detroit on Petr Sykora’s power-play goal in triple overtime. Undeterred, the Red Wings hit the road and wrapped up their fourth straight series on the road in these playoffs. Detroit is third in NHL history with 11 Stanley Cup titles, trailing fellow Original Six clubs Montreal and Toronto.

Much congrats go to the Penguins for a hard fought finals but ALL MY LURVE goes to my Detroit Red Wings!!! HOLLLLA!!!

Newish couple Blake Lively and Penn Badgely were spotted enjoying a lovely afternoon together in NYC this week. The pair gloomily skulked in the streets of SoHo, scowling at all the attention from the photogs who were taking their photographs:

Clearly, the couple don’t look all that thrilled that folks are paying them mind … which totally baffles me. Why work so hard to attain fame and then get pissed off when you get it. I get that celebs might not always be in the mood to have their photo taken and they might not be in the mood to smile all of the time but I don’t know that it’s a good idea for newborn celebs like BlakeLey (PennLey?) to lok all pissy this early into their career. Gossip Girl can use all the help in the ratings that they can get … it might be wise for the couple to at least feign happiness once in a while. They make a great couple … I’d hate for them to start turning into a miserable couple. [Source, Source]

After spending the last few months on the downlow, refusing to be seen together at public events to promote their latest movie Stop-Loss, Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish seem to have relaxed on the clandestine nature of their relationship and boldly ventured out together to pick up some snacks and soda at a Hollywood area CVS drug store:

I suppose it’s *possible* that the Stop-Loss co-stars have remained good friends but the pair do look very coupley in these photos. As much as I don’t relish the idea of Ryan Phillippe reattached to any one else, I guess I don’t really mind if he’s found happiness with Abbie Conish. Ugh, his ex-wife is supposedly romancing Jake Gyllenhaal so I’d be fine with Ryan being with Abbie. I’d be more fine with Ryan being with Jake but the thought of those two doing the nasty might make my head explode. Le sigh. [Source]

Late yesterday afternoon, I met up with Michael, Steph and Alek at S&A’s place so that we could all drive down to Anaheim, CA together to spend the rest of the day at Disneyland. I almost bailed on the guys because I still have so much to do at home before David arrives and so much to do tech-wise for the site relaunch next week. I ended up getting a bulk of stuff done around here so I decided to make our Disney date after all. I am so glad that I did. I was able to unstress and just have fun with my friends … and boy, did we have fun:

As I mentioned earlier, we had no idea that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were at Disneyland yesterday while we were there … we did California Adventure first so I’m sure we weren’t even close to running into them. It was Alek’s first trip to Disneyland so we hit all the big rides for him … our fave, as always, was the Indiana Jones ride — which is not only the coolest ride in the park but it far more entertaining than the new Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie is. Michael made us reservations at the Blue Bayou restaurant for dinner and managed to get a lot accomplished considering we got there so late.

We had a lot of fun at the Mad Hatter hat shop:

And each walked away with our own set of Mickey Mouse ears with our names on them:

Hahahhahaha … I dunno why I look so grumpy, I really did have a great time yesterday.

This afternoon, I have more meetings and then lots of stuff to take care of here. I think I’ll be staying in as a result. It’s all good tho, I had enough fun yesterday at Disneyland to get me thru the next week :)

Yesterday afternoon, my friends Michael, Steph, Alek and I made our way down to Anaheim, CA to spend the rest of the day/night at Disneyland to get away from the stresses for a while and to help Alek enjoy his first visit to the theme park. It turns out that The Hills co-stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt also had the same idea to enjoy the park yesterday. Unfortch, our paths never crossed … we had an absolute blast and it looks like Speidi did as well. Here are a few pics of the happy couple getting a sneak preview of the new Toy Story Mania! ride that is set to open to the public on June 17:

These pics were released to the media by Disneyland (to promote the new Toy Story attraction) but the media-savvy couple brought along their own paparazzi photog to snap pics of the couple (with Spencer’s nieces Hayley and Ava) to promote themselves in various cheesy poses (which you can see HERE). Don’t get me wrong, my friends and I posed for a plethora of our own cheesy pics (which I’ll post a little later on) so I can’t really hate on Speidi for doing the same. I gotta say, I never tire of having fun at Disneyland no matter how many times I go back. Annual passes are the total bomb! [Source]
