Miley Cyrus Is Gonna Have A Gay Ol’ Birthday

The best Super Sweet 16 Ever?
Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Miley Cyrus has decided to celebrate her Super Sweet 16th birthday party at the Happiest Place on EarthDisneyland! Miley will be be hosting her Disneyland birthday on October 5th, the very same day that Disneyland Gay Days will be in full swing. A coincidence? I think not:


The world’s most popular teenager, Miley Cyrus, will celebrate her 16th birthday at the Disneyland resort in Anaheim, Calif., on October 5, the same time Gay Days takes place. The 11th annual Gay Days event, which attracted 30,000 gays and lesbians to the park last year, actually takes place October 3-5. Gay Days describes itself as a “mix-in with straight parkgoers,” where the LGBT crowd wears red shirts. Gay Days is not Disney-sponsored, so park operators will not have official regulation over the event. Cyrus will celebrate her birthday with 5,000 fans, including volunteers from Youth Service America on October 5. “I only turn 16 once, so it’s going to be an awesome party with my favorite rides, hanging out with friends, fireworks, and more,” she said in a press release on Thursday. “I’ll even get to sing a couple songs.” Cyrus’s event promises fireworks, music, and a celebration for the youth volunteers.

HMMM … I wonder if Billy Ray Cyrus knows about this.

Shia LaBeof’s Doppelgänger Does All The Dirty Work

Cheers for the unknown stuntman
Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Shia LaBeouf is hard at work on the set of Transformers: Rise of the Fallen these days but he’s not working as hard as you may have previously thought. Here are a few pics of Shia and his stunt double (who is a serious hottie) on set with the upgraded Transformer Bumblebee (2010 Chevrolet Camaro) each doing their thing:


Apparently, Shia’s thing is to just mess around on set, smiling for the camera every now and then and his stunt double has to do all the dangerous stuff, lookin’ hawt all the while. It’s pretty amazing how much the double looks like Shia … but more grown up and less kid-ish. I think I vastly prefer the double over the real thing … how ’bout y’all?

Usher Gets Political In Detroit

Shares his thoughts on the importance of voting and barbershops in the community
Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Here is a great vid of Usher paying a visit to the Campaign for Change Headquarters in Detroit, MI:


I think Usher makes a great point about the importance of voting and how integral community barbershops are to helping spread the word about politics in neighborhoods, especially in areas like Detroit. It’s a great vid.

Rachel McAdams & Ryan Gosling Go Public

OMG, they're really back again!
Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Woooooot! Woooooot! Check out these amazing new photos of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling happily and openly showing their lurve for one another again … seriously, I’m dying right now. There has been rumor, conjecture and a few reports that McGosling have gotten back together but it wasn’t until I came upon these AWESOME photos of the pair kissing, so lovingly together, at an eatery in Toronto, Canada (near her home) yesterday afternoon that I really, honestly believed the reports:


For a couple who broke up more than a year ago, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are spending an awful lot of time together. The Canadian-born pair went to dinner Monday with a couple of friends in Toronto at Grace restaurant. Gosling, 27, and McAdams, 31, began dating shortly after wrapping the romantic 2004 film The Notebook. They split in mid-2007. While reps are staying tight-lipped on the state of Gosling and McAdams’s relationship, the couple reportedly held hands during the meal, according to a Canadian gossip Web site. The pair started hanging out again in July when McAdams turned up to watch Gosling make his DJ debut at Hollywood hotspot Green Door lounge. “They talked when he was away from the deejay stand,” says a friend. “They really looked like good pals. He seemed happy to see her.”

These pics were taken one day after this People magazine report (the report came out Wed. these pics were taken Thurs.) … I guess they’re ready to show the world that they are, indeed, in love and back together. Seeing Rachel and Ryan together again makes me so happy … and I don’t even know why exactly. They just seem so right for one another. This is deffo the best news ever!

‘Bunny’ Tale

The TV Guide
Friday, August 22nd, 2008

I planned on making a point of seeing The House Bunny on opening day today but since a Veruca Salt show was announced for tonight at the last minute (and I really want to see VS live again), Darion suggested that we go to a midnight showing of the flick last night … and that is exactly what we did. D and I met up for a late night dinner and then were met by his friend Loy at the Arc Light in Sherman Oaks, CA to see The House Bunny:


Okay, seriously, the movie was very cute and very funny … if you enjoyed the movie trailers for this flick then you’ll prolly enjoy the movie very much. As you might expect, there is a lot of dumb humor … the jokes are easy ones but Anna Faris manages to use her charm to make the lame jokes funnier then they prolly should be. I must confess, tho, that I was so not impressed with Anna’s romantic interest in the movie played by Colin Hanks. For the life of me, I cannot understand why he was cast as the lead “hottie” in this film. He looks exactly like his father Tom Hanks who is nowhere near hottie material (plus he looks about 40 years older than he really is). Tyson Ritter, lead singer for All American Rejects, plays Emma Stone’s character’s love interest and does, I think, a better job. I wasn’t particularly impressed with Rumer Willis either but mebbe I was just looking for things to not like about her. Overall, tho, the story is a sweet one … but not really all that substantial. It’s deffo a fun movie if you’re up for a no-brainer. I will tell you this, Darion, Loy and I were cracking up the entire time:


Then again, it doesn’t really take much to keep us entertained ;)

Tonight, I’m meeting up with my friend Michael for dinner and then the late night rock show with Veruca Salt. Mebbe I’ll see you there?
