taylorblue — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:14:14 GMT

We all know that this season of True Blood is almost over. And what are you going to do then? You might want to watch both seasons all over again. But still you want to see more of Sookie and Bill together. (And not to just recreate that mind blowing scene everyone saw last week either.) So now when you get a case of withdrawal you can dress up your own Sookie and Bill paper dolls up. You can go over here to get your set of four characters. And there will be new characters and clothes added every week. You can thank me later.

taylorblue — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 03:50:22 GMT

The new Heroes poster for Season 4 has been released with the tag line, Greater Evil Greater Good. Now with this chapter being called Redemption is this really any surprise? Since I’m all about Zachary Quinto now I can’t wait to see how Sylar deals with is brain being stuck inside of Matt Parkman’s head. (And of course Hiro and Claire have their issues to deal with too.) We will see who gets to prevail this season. The GOOD or the EVIL? [photo]

You Can Now Own Your Own Edward Cullen To Watch You When You Sleep

taylorblue — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 02:28:40 GMT

I had tweeted about this earlier today on Twitter but I wanted to talk about it now. There is something that creeps me out about this whole situation of having a decal that is life-sized watching me when I sleep. I have had nightmares probably most of my life that I wake up and I think that there is someone in my room and get paralyzed with fear because I’m afraid they will attack me. I’m not sure if this Edward Cullen would help me with that. I would wake up in the middle of the night and see something dark and mysterious over in the corner and scream or be paralyzed and not able to walk. I’m not sure what would be the good thing in this. Did anyone test it out before marketing it? I know it’s $60 and available at Etsy (which is an awesome place for crafters to sell their wares) but I’m not so sure about this one. Maybe they need to go back to the drawing board for this one? If you think you need one, you can buy it here. There are only TWO available so hurry hurry. And please don’t bring it to my house. I don’t need to get scared all over again.

The Gossip Girl Season 3 Cast Photo

taylorblue — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 02:10:27 GMT

I think writing about TV shows has to be my favorite part of the job. Not that what I do really could be considered a job, since it’s so fun! The new TV season is coming up and I have so many things I want to write about. This Season 3 Gossip Girl cast photo has been released. And I’m afraid to say but the only person that really sticks out is Blake Lively. I’m not sure why they dressed her up in blue when everyone else was wearing darker colors. It could be a set-up for the season to come though too. I guess we will have to find out when the new season starts in September. [photo]

Kristen Stewart Out Takes From Dazed & Confused

taylorblue — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:44:05 GMT

I love this photo shoot that Kristen Stewart did for the September 2009 issue of Dazed & Confused. It shows that yes, Kristen is beautiful no matter what anyone says. In the interview she did with the magazine she talked about paparazzi getting crazy since being in Twilight, her role as Joan Jett and her future plans. Here are the highlights: On the craziness of the paparazzi since being in Twilight: Yeah since Twilight. That’s the only reason they’re out there. They find out where I am from the Internet - from Twitter, man! Anyone who wants to know where I am at any given time just has to go on Twitter, it’s so ridiculous! On being Joan Jett being different from her experience in Twilight: It’s so much fun. She’s the ultimate badass. She was the first woman to start her own record label. Everybody threw her out after the Runaways and was like, ‘Sorry girl, your shticks over’, she was like ‘No, the message stays the same people still want to hear it.’ Who the **ck did that before her? The music industry is brutal. Once there’s one wave, one explosion of a type of music, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and tries to emulate that, so there’s a bunch of shitty versions of other bands. So there’s like sh*tty versions of everybody! On identifying with the role: Yeah, it’s been awesome working on this. I’ve gotten to do a lot of great roles recently. I just made a film in New Orleans- and its going to sound funny because I play a 16 year old street kid prostitute stripper – but it’s the one film so far I mostly identify with. I play such a child, like she has the emotional stability of a 5 year old; she’s in her own little world that she had to close off at a certain point. She’s at that point where she’s not quite over the edge like a lot of those people, and I met a lot of them in New Orleans, talking to people who had done the job for so long. On her future plans: I know that will just naturally become other things, other than just acting in movies. I don’t know what the **ck I’m going to do. I write s**t or whatever. I am going to make my own movies with my friends, absolutely, and I might not only act in them. But really? I love this, I love what I do, I am definitely going to keep doing it if I feel this way about it. That could stop, but until then, I’m just going to just write, make movies, play music. [photos]

Fringe Spoilers Season 2 Episode 1: A New Day In The Old Town

taylorblue — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:54:37 GMT

Fringe was one of those shows last season that I couldn’t get enough of, sometimes it freaked me out and grossed me out that I thought there was no way I could continue. I remember having discussions with my friend, Cheaty, about how horrible the show was. And then some how along the way it grabbed me and I couldn’t let it go. Now, I’m addicted to the show. So now we come to the second season. I have been doing research, yes, I can depend on myself to do this sometimes. If not I call on WillowRaine (who is awesome at that by the way) and I found out that it was indeed the World Trade Center that we see at the season finale. (SPOILER SPOILER In that alternative world the White House was the one that was hit not the World Trade Center.) I saw these stills from the first episode of season 2. I don’t see Olivia anywhere. I wonder if they still have her in the alternative world for that show. But I am sure with Walter’s sense of humor, everything will seem right with the world. [photos]

Ryan Gosling Sexy In Plaid

taylorblue — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 03:58:17 GMT

Ryan Gosling was spotted looking cool in plaid leaving the Bank Of America in Hollywood. Ryan is getting set to release his first album with band mate Zach Shields and their band Dead Man’s Bones on October 6th. They released another song of theirs called, My Body’s a Zombie for You, and features the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir. I still find it hard to really pinpoint what kind of genre that they would be in. I just find that Ryan has such an amazing voice that he could really sing anything and I would still listen. Listen to My Body’s A Zombie For You here. [Images by MATEI/SCOTT/bauergriffinonline.com]

Since Peter Facinelli’s parts in Eclipse aren’t being filmed until next week he’s taking this time to spend with his wife, Jennie Garth, and kids, Luca, Lola and Fiona. It’s so funny to see the paparazzi going so crazy there in Vancouver, I know there is celebs around where I live all the time but the paps never follow them around. At least Peter is good spirited about it all. [Images by Fame Pictures]

New Saw VI Poster Unveiled

taylorblue — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:10:46 GMT

Somehow, someone, somewhere seems to know how much I am addicted to the Saw movies. So when I got this Saw VI new movie poster I knew that I would find it creepy. With the words, Trust In Him, you really have to wonder how much you really can ‘trust him’. And the meaning of the gloves is unclear. What do you think they mean? The sixth installment of the movie comes out October 23rd.

Jackson Rathbone: What On EARTH Is Your Hairdo All About?

taylorblue — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:51:39 GMT

So, I return home, after a long weekend in Michigan (where I attended the Spencer Bell Legacy Memorial show, and the 100 Monkeys show the next day) and I get the picture from above, sent to me. Now, Jackson Rathbone is attractive, undeniably so, but what on earth did he do to his hair? And WHY? Jackson, WHY? If it makes him happy, then I’m all for it, if he did it for a movie, I understand. I only hope he didn’t do it to please someone else about his image. Now, maybe I’m a little odd, and just prefer his hair from before, it seemed more..him for lack of a better word. This hair seems kind of the opposite of him. Though, I know people that love it. So, maybe I’m overreacting. It doesn’t matter though, since he’s all Jodie’s now, right Jo? As long as she likes his hair, all is right with the world. I dare say he could shave his head and paint it pink, and she’d love him still. The moral of this rambling?: Jackson is adorable, and CAN pull off this hairstyle..I suppose. [Images by INFphoto.com]

Partying With Spencer Bell

taylorblue — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:38:56 GMT

I have just returned from the most awe inspiring, amazing weekend ever. It was definitely life altering, on a few levels, in fact. I trekked from Charlotte, North Carolina to Auburn Hills, Michigan, for the Spencer Bell Legacy show, and it was so much more than I ever could have imagined. It was very last minute when I found out I could go, I had to rearrange my entire life in a matter of 8 days, and had a death in the family to deal with on top of that, but somehow I managed. I have never been happier to say that. Nothing would have kept me away though. I was blessed to have been able to converse with Spencer’s mom, she is the sweetest woman that I have ever had the fortune of meeting, I believe. I’m thrilled beyond words that I get to help keep Spencer’s memory alive, that I get to introduce him to people, and help show the world, how beautiful his soul was and is. No, Spencer was not perfect, he was human, flawed, I’m sure he was extremely frustrating at times, irritating at others, but he was beautiful, and beyond any doubt, loved in his entirety. Yes, even when they wished to pinch his head off. *laugh* I can’t say that I knew Spencer when he was alive, I got to know him through his art, his music, his words, so my connection to him is from one writer, to another, from one human being to another. Myself, and two of my very best friends, Kasey and Jodie, shared the weekend experience together, and we all took away something different. My intention was to go and honor Spencer, to enjoy some music, to just have a great time, in his honor. I did all of those things, and more. I reconnected with a part of ME that I had forgotten, I saw an outpouring of love, and support for Spencer and the Bell family, that was astounding and beautiful beyond compare. I got to hear Spencer stories, and connect with people that I never would have, had I not found him, courtesy of Jackson Rathbone. Though Spencer wasn’t with us in his physical form, I know that he was with us in spirit, in soul, and he was partying his A** off, believe that! The bands that performed were AMAZING, and he had a hand or influence in each of them, at some point,in some way.*Smile* The Stevedores, Tin Tin Can,Drew and the Medicinal Pen,100 Monkeys and we even got to hear first hand, roommate stories about Spencer, from Orson Brawl, it was an experience I’ll never forget. I’ll be talking about it for years to come. Old friends reconnecting, music that made me dance non stop for two days, the musicians were incredible to hang out with,just talk to, making new friends that I know will last a lifetime, and most importantly, showing Spencer, and the world, that he hasn’t been forgotten, that he still matters, that he always will. In my favorite words describing Spencer, courtesy of Jay “What a beautiful soul, that Spencer Bell”. Spencer, wherever you are, we love you, and your legacy will live on, in the hearts, minds, and souls of everyone you have touched. If you’d like to get to know more about Spencer, then please visit Legacy, if you’d like to donate to Research for Adrenal Cancer then please, go HERE. I’d like to give a special shout out and thank you to my personal (and professional) photographer for the weekend Jodie Platz without her, I would have been forced to take the pictures, but she took on that job, allowing me to dance all weekend, so THANK YOU, Jo Jo. The photos are incredible, as your work always is. You should click on her name and check out her other work.

The newest word on the street is that the Gossip Girl premiere is only 27 days from now. And with that comes episode stills. Now I haven’t had official confirmation on the season 3 episode 1 title, but I did see it leaked as Reversals Of Fortune, so I am going with that and I will change it if it’s any different. The episode looks like it takes place at a polo match with everyone dressed in their Sunday best. It’s too much excitement for me to handle! [photos]

Celebrity Rewind: Robert Pattinson

taylorblue — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:12:46 GMT

Back a couple of years ago Nylon magazine got this shot of Robert Pattinson, who at the time they had no clue who he was. He was included in their book of STREET style. Of course Robert had fashion back then. I went to the mall yesterday and noticed that plaid is coming back, which I am super happy about! And out loud I said in the mall. “Plaid is back, thank you Robert Pattinson.” I am sure you can connect something in every day life that Rob has brought back. He’s just that awesome. [photo]

Ryan Reynolds Is Buried Alive

taylorblue — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 03:45:37 GMT

When I saw this still from Ryan Reynold’s new movie, Buried, I have to admit that I freaked out a bit. I am very claustrophobic and seeing a picture like this doesn’t help. (This also reminds me of that episode of CSI where Nick was trapped in a coffin too.) In this movie Ryan plays a US contractor working in Iraq who comes under attack by Iraqi insurgents. He awakens after the ambush buried in a coffin with nothing more than a lighter and a cell phone at his disposal and limited time to escape before suffocating. This movie isn’t expected to hit the theaters until 2010. [photos]
