SEX AND THE CITY DEUX

THE LADIES ARE BACK
Here they are at the U.K. premiere of SEX AND THE CITY 2 Sarah Jessica Parker has been fucking killing it - I want every part of this look - even the fucking ridiculous over the top hat - looooooooooooove!!! It says look at me, I am amazing and everything I wear becomes the shit!!!!!!!!! It totally sells because now I want her shit!!!!!

I can't say I am equally in love with the other girls choices!!! It's one thing to know that you take a back seat to SJB in the film, it's another thing to take a back seat on the red carpet!!! This is their chance to one up her!!!! very disapointed!!!!

Sarah is wearing an incredibly elaborate Philip Treacy hat and an Alexander McQueen gown. So over the top fantastic!!!!!!!


Here is Sarah Jessica Parker killing some crazy fucking shoes - I want, I want bad!!! This is her ensemble for the SEX AND THE CITY 2 afterparty - I don't think I will ever get over those fucking shoes!!!! Her and the other ladies have been going crazy promoting the movie with clothes my closet would die to own!!!


The first ladies of fashion arrived at Radio City Music Hall to walk the red carpet, then headed over to Lincoln Center for the afterparty, SJB is wearing Valentino - devine!!!!! Kim Cattrall looks amazing - she is 54 can you believe it - I didn't have that body at 20!!!! She went with a slinktastic Naeem Khan, while Kristin Davis went with a vintage Balmain Couture dress and Cynthia Nixon chose a goody, but an oldy Carolina Herrera.



Here is Cynthia Nixon wearing Carolina Herrera, doesn't she look amazing. she just turned 45, I am just disapointed she changed her hair - I prefer it red way more!!



Kristin's Balmain Couture is radiant and I love it, but it's very safe - thought she would come out with something a little more fashion forward - not something her character Charlotte would wear.



To round out the group Kim Cattrall our Canadian girl was there to represent in a Naeem Khan Gown (prom dress style seems to be the theme of the night with the exception of SJB). I love the looks, but minus SJB they could have brought it alot harder in my opinion.

REALLY - BOB SAGET????? WTF???

MAYBE BOB SAGET IS COOL AND WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT!!!!!!
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT!!!!!!!
So Rob has been like crazy busy basically for the past 3 years, and he often makes reference to the fact that creating long lasting friendships has been challenging. So I can understand him being a loner, I can even understand that it's easier to be alone as opposed to questioning if any of his friendships are legit, what I can't understand is why he is giving up his very limited free time to hang with BOB SEGET!!!!!!!! As a result I find myself resolved to believe that Bob Saget may be cool!!!! I mean why else would Rob be hanging with him????? That got me thinking - what else would pull Rob to the party. It appears in the pic that he went with long time friend and agent Stephanie Ritz which means it could just be as simple as him hanging with a friend, doubtful, but possible. I don't like pitching Rob as someone that only does something for personal gain, but if we look at the facts - Rob rarely makes public party appearances - there must have been some benefit in the connection department in order to make his trip worth it!!! So like I said this got me thinking - Rob recently admitted that he would love to try his hand in Broadway - now this is where the theory plays out!!!! John Stamos hosted this little Birthday Shindig and he has been performing on Broadway for the past 3 years - notice who Rob is standing beside - that's right - John Stamos!!!!!!!! Coincidence - I think not!!!!!!!! As everything in life - it's all about the connections!!!! That being said I don't believe Rob to be the type to only do something based on the fact that he would get something in return - if he did come with his Agent - I am sure he went with the intention of having a good time with his friend with a small possibility of networking - I mean it's Hollywood that's what it's all about!!!!!!

It was just announced that Rob will join Taylor and Kirsten at the MTV awards on June 6th to present a never before seen scene from Eclipse - I think that's lame, but I don't really care as long as I get to see him!!!!
















I don't know if I should be happy to hear my Robbie is working out or worried. If it's just to wear off the previous days beer - fine, great - better to be healthy, than unhealthy!!! , but if it's to manipulate his body into some kind of man meat - I object. I already have enough competition, the last thing I need is competition from those fucking superficial whores that only love a man for their sixpack!!!!!!!! My one saving grace is for the simple fact Rob does not do stupid or superficial - thank god!!!!!!!!

Rob is pictured below visiting a Guitar shop("Norman's rare Guitars" to be exact. Where he bought a couple expensive and rare guitars = 1962 ES335 and Dobro 30's Double Cyclops - I have no idea what this means, but I would sure like him to tell me all about it!!!!!!! Rob was his overly charming self and took a pic with the employee's!!!!!! God I wish I was an employee at Norman's Rare Guitar's!!!!!!

JAKEY IN L.A.

PROMOTION CONTINUES
"Prince of Persia" opens this weekend and Jake is making his rounds on the promotional circuit. He continues to be in find form, despite the lack of sleep and grueling schedule. I can't say I am fond of Gemma Arterton's dress - this girl could choose any fucking color of gown she could dream of and she picks what I can only describe as the "Nude" look - very boring and slightly unflattering. Fortunately for her I will give her points for the greetion look as I am always a fan. I found some you tube clips of their recent press conference - Gemma is stunning - I definitely prefer her dressed slightly down. Their's something Victorian about her look, almost porcelain like, I think we are going to see much more from this 24 year old, English beauty. Check out the clip below - love Ben Kingsley!!!

A WHOLE LOT OF WONDERFUL, PERFECT ROB!!!!!!!!!

ADD ANIMAL LOVER TO THE LIST
He continues to demonstrate near perfection as he is seen on set of his recent film "Water for Elephants". I mean really could he be any cuter - have you seen his Ellen appearance from Wednesday - the cutest. I can't say I am a huge fan of the hair cut, but I've always preferred his more unkempt disheveled look!!! I've decided not to mourn the loss of hair for too long as I am sure it will return once the filming of this movie is complete, because let's be honest, he's not known for his cleanliness so those long locks suit his hygienic laziness!!!!

"Water for Elephants" is Filming in California for the next 4 weeks (must be nice to work 4 weeks and make 4 million!!). It co star's Reece Witherspoon and is about a boy named Jacob (Rob's character) who's parents are killed, he abandons his veterinary schooling and works as the vet to a traveling circus. The films story takes place in the early years of the Great Depression, though this occurs in flashbacks to ninety-year-old Jacob. He falls in love with Marlena (Reece Witherspoon), the wife of an abusive animal trainer. Marlena, Jacob and an abused elephant, Rosie band together to survive the turmoil of living amongst an unethical circus troop. Francis Lawrence is the director for ‘Water For Elephants’, based on the best selling novel by Sara Gruen. I ordered the book yesterday so it's my next read despite a pre-existing pile of about 20 other books waiting to be discovered. This is going to be Rob's biggest challenge to date for sure - it's his first time against a very heavy hitter. Reese may have a reputation as a Bitch, but that doesn't void the point that this Bitch can act!!!! He is among an Oscar winner and a very reputable actor in Hollywood - it will be interesting to see if he can hold his own. Could this be the moment the rest of Hollywood stops looking at him Souly as a heart throb and begins respecting him as an Actor????



Here is another pic of him on set - showcasing his short hair and looking content to be back on set!!!

THERE ARE NOT WORDS

HE'S BEEN ON MY FOREVER 5 SINCE BREAKER HIGH
My addiction to Ryan is not a recent thing - I think he grabbed my attention like 10 years ago when he was this itsy bitsy goof on "Breaker High" - (picture below). So at the very least I can claim that I am no "BANDWAGONER" when it comes to the almost too good looking Ryan Gosling.

I remember when Notebook came out and I thought to myself - I new that guy had potential. This has always been my problem - I see the potential - cling on to the fact that I am the only one to see it and then am devastated when my good sense of character reveals themselves to the world!!!! Despite his immense popularity I have kept him on the list, because Ryan is not the kind of guy you can kick!!!! He just gets better and better and better and . . . . . you get the point!!!!!














LIKE THE IDEA, BUT DON'T LOVE IT!!!If I am being honest, the recent rumours of ryan and kate as an item makes me a little upset, not because they wouldn't be gorgeous together (because they would), but because I can see the real potential of a long lasting relationship!!!! I don't mind if Ryan has his odd flings now and then, but if I could return to my little girl fantasies of Love, I would wish that he only finds his sould mate in Rachel McAdams. Of course I love them in the Notebook, but it's more that than. It's her ability to stay real in Hollywood, the fact that they come from the same Home town, the way the estically fit one another so perfectly. I will forever miss and yearn for them to be together again!!!! Despite the fact that I may always be that 6 year old who wishes for her knight in shining armor, I truly believe Ryan and Rachel will end up together!!! Maybe it's just a pipe dream!!!!!!!



DO YOU REMEMBER!!!!! I PRAY TO THE CELEBRITY GODS THAT THEY MAKE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!!

































Here is Ryan and Michelle in Cannes at the premiere after party of "BLUE VALENTINE". I don't love the dress, but I do love her so she is getting a free out of jail card just this once, because the other ensemble's during Cannes has been perfection!!!

YOUNG LOVE

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE SO IN LOVE YOU COULDN'T BREATH WITHOUT THE OTHER PERSON!!!! ME EITHER!!!!, BUT I HAVE HEARD OF IT!!!
I can only pressume it looks something similar to this!!! Are they not the cutest!!! They want nothing more in life than to be together, enjoying every moment, every experience with one another. Shia and my bestie #2 Carey Mulligan met on the set of there newest movie -"WALL STREET: BIG MONEY NEVER SLEEPS". The director Oliver Stone said that their connection was instantaneous - so cute!!! Rumors were flying from many unreputable gossip mags that Shia was going to propose during their visit to Cannes - I highly doubt it!!!!!!!!! He's young and he knows he's young, he knows this is the time to catavolt his career. That being said - young love does make you do some crazy shit - so maybe we will hear wedding bells in the near future, but I don't see Shia being generic and doing the whole proposal thing while in Cannes for promotional work!!!!

MAYBE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE!!!!

A NEW MEGAN
I can't put my finger on it, but there is something more appealing and different about Megan. I find myself intrigued by what she has to say and happy to see her happy!!!!! This is unexpected as I had almost permanently placed her on the "I don't give a shit list"!!!! There appears to be something subdued about her, which could be because she is not currently promoting anything so we are not forced to hear the endless shit that typically comes from her mouth!!!! Which would make the most sense!!!! The other possibility is that she has finally got her shit together and has figured out how to navigate through Hollywood????? I guess only time will tell!!! Until then I will enjoy the fact that she appears to be getting it!!!!



Doesn't she look incredible when she is just chill in her Sunday sweats - that is when I feel she is worthy of being named one of the World's "MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ALIVE"!!! It's when she's lathered up in some sort of body grease and she looks part pumkin that I have a difficult understanding the appeal!!!! This Megan in this picture helps me understand the appeal!!!!

This is Megan And Brian out with his son getting some errands done around L.A.

















Megan is covering the June 2010 edition of Allure Magazine. She speaks out about the crew member that took a shot of her breasts while filming "Passion Play" and she discusses her life apart from Hollywood.

In Regard's to her opinion on Plastic Surgery Megan says: “I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist, to try and figure out where this want comes from, because a lot of times it’s not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin, the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you,”. “If, then, you feel, ‘This is something that I want to do,’ then do it. It’s amazing that we have the technology to do the stuff that we do.”

She then goes on to tell Allure that she has no qualms about strangling the uidentified photog who snapped a topless photo of her on the set of the upcoming flick Passion Play.

Megan On Nude Photo Leak: “If I knew who took this picture, I would personally cause them harm – physical harm. I’m not a fucking reality TV star that’s courting the paparazzi and wants my fucking picture taken all the time. I’m at my job and I’m trying to play a character and I’m trying to be serious, and this is the shit that’s happening to me. It makes me furious.”

Why Megan Hates To Cook: “I’ll starve to death before I’ll cook for myself. I think I could survive a week without eating. I’ll eat the same thing every day for two months and then never eat it again. I did that with Life cereal. I ate it every day for so long that the thought of it makes me upset,”. “The only person I enjoy cooking for is my boyfriend’s son. I like arranging it on his little plate…. I like cooking for kids, for some reason.”

How Megan De-Stresses: “Just being able to be at home, and light my candles and my incense, and just be isolated and shut everyone out except the people that I’m close to and be in a family environment and have some semblance of a normal life.”

The magazine hits newsstands May 25th - I can't say the cover is anything exciting to look at - that's why I didn't cover it in my post - not worth the time!!!!!

Love the pic below of Megan and Brian - they make sense don't you think????

WEIGHT WATCHERS WONDERFUL

SHE LOOKS INCREDIBLEThis almost makes me won't to start counting the points!!!! How fantastic does she look??? Here she is in Cannes promoting her movie "Winnie" about Nelson Mandela's wife Winnie Mandela. I can't get over her transformation - she looks happy doesn't she??? She must be loving her new body.

Despite her presence in Cannes for a movie promotion, she tells the press that this coming year she will be focusing more on music, so it might be a while until we see he on the big screen again.

My #1 Bestie hits up Cannes

FLAWLESS!!!!!!!
This is why she continues to hold the #1 bestie spot - because this girl has her shit together!!!! Unlike many of her counterparts!!!

Hollywood is a mean bitchy place that can take your soul out and eat it for dinner - as we have seen many, many, many a time before!!



Did you see Wynona on the made for t.v. movie last week??????

That woman was on the top of her game, she dated Johnny Depp for god sake and then she took one wrong step, and she was out on her ass!!! . . . . . She's been trying to crawl her way back in ever since!!! That's what happens when you forget that success as an Actress in Hollywood is a priviledge - not a right!!!

This is something Naomi will never forget - I say this with complete confidence, being that I know her so well!!! She remembers her humble beginnings, the fact that she is priviledged, but deserving of her career and surroundings. She is confident and beautiful and carries no delusions that who she is in Hollywood is not who she is in life. My bestie knows her shit and that is why we will see her for years and years to come and that is why we roll!!!

Here she is premiering her movie "YOU WILL MEET A TALL, DARK STRANGER" at the Palais De Festivals at the Cannes Film Festival. Doesn't she look incredible!!! So few people can pull of a beautiful red lip and earrings - perfection!!!!!!! She is wearing Gucci - loooove Gucci!!! All the sites are saying she was incredible with the other cast members - never leaving their sides to do individual shots and she made sure to stay close to the Incredible Talented,(but perverted) Woody Allen. The film also stars Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto, Antonio Banderas . . . . the list goes on!!! It seems to be about family, love and loss - it's a Woody piece - so one can assume it'a a character study!!!



This was Naomi at the press junket for the film earlier in the day. She is wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg design from her fall collection and Stella McCartney Satin Canary Sandals - LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE them!!!!!!!!!
















Naomi has been busy while in Cannes. She hit up the premiere for Biutiful premiere in support of both Havier Bardem and her 21 grams Director Alejandro Gonzalez. She wore a beatiful open backed Roland Mouret Ephron Gown. She later went to the after party for the film where she pulled off a cute black jumper and accessorized with those killer yellow Stella McCartney shoes she wore for her premiere.



















Here is a clip from "YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER", plus some clips from the press junket for the film - Woody is a funny guy

HE SHOULD BE OUTLAWED

THE HOTTIE I DON'T FIND HOT!!!
Jake Gyllenhaal without a doubt must be one of the most attractive men in Hollywood (especially in a suit), but there is something about him that stops me from joining the "he's in my top 5" bandwagon!! I think it has something to do with the fact that he clearly knows he's attractive and the fact that everyone wants him - which is too much competition and always a turn off (except sadly in Rob's case - although I really wish I could kick him!!!).



Here is Jake looking hotter than ever and his co-star Gemma Arterton on May 9th at the London premiere of "Prince of Persia: the sands of time". I've seen the preview and it unfortunately does not look promising aside from Jake's ridiculous body!!! Also not a fan of Gemma's dress - what's with all woman wanting to look like real life princesses???? She is way too young to be wearing something so matronly and safe!!! I have attached preview below - as you will notice the dress she wore to the premiere and her styling did her a serious disservice - check her out on the preview - she is fucking stunning!!!!!!! Prince of Persia come out May 28th - would love to hear your reviews thegossipcloset@hotmail.com

SINGLE AND GORGEOUS

PRETTY DOES NOT = PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like Halle was tired of dealing with the usual shit we have to take from our husbands on a daily basis!!!!!!!!!!!! - Fucking Lasiness!!!!!!!

Even though we just heard the news about the split between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, I guess the two were done months ago. Supposedly, "She kicked him out months ago because he wasn't able to pull his weight in the relationship and she wanted to move on," claims a source close to the couple. "They’re very amicable in healthy ways because of their child. Her main concern is for the health and happiness of her daughter."
A rep for Halle said that the pair "have been split for some time, but remain friends and committed parents to their daughter."

I think she is one of the few people that actually gets more beautiful with age, if that is even possible!!!! So I guess my whole theory that it might be her not them - might not be acurate, but I am going to pressume that she is very particular and won't put up with any shit!!!!!!!!

I HOPE THIS IS JUST A HORRIBLE RUMOR!!

WHERE DO THEY GO FROM HERE???
Reports are coming in that Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have ended their relationship. Supposedly a source (who the fuck are these Sources??) is claiming it was Grabrielle's choice. I am really hoping this is just a rumor, but if not this sure doesn't bode well for poor Halle. Two broken marriages and two broken long term relationships??? You have to start to wonder if it's the men or her???

The reality of the situation is, that if these two really are donesville, they've got no where to go, but down - that's what happens after you meet your esthetically perfect counterpart!!!!

HE'S HEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!!!!

HE DARES TO VENTURE OUT IN PUBLIC
My Robert decided to reveal himself out and about Vancouver yesterday, I am assuming this is only possible because us Canadians have a little more self control!!! (and less paps want to make the trip!!!). He met up with his long time friend Sam Bradley (who has beeen residing in Vancouver), they hung out for a couple of hours. On his way to lunch he made sure to sign autographs for fans - the cutest right!!!!!!! Some Hollywood assholes never make time for there fans - not my Robert!!!!!!! This could be the only Robert appearance we get so I am going to enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!

Side Note: he continues to wear those horrible fucking Jeans - I think it's like day 4 - if I had one complaint about my Mr. Near Perfect - it would be this!!!!

STAR SIGHTINGS - COUPLES DAY OUT!!

OUT AND ABOUT IN NEW YORK AND L.A.
Amanda Seyfried and her man Dominic Cooper where out and about New York on Wednesday, April 28th. They wondered around Central Park and later caught some late lunch - how perfect would that day be!!!!!!

Channing Tatum and his wife Jenna Dewan had the same idea as they wondered around the SoHo district of NY, shopping and hitting up a cafe for a quick bite. I bet her two bags equal more that I buy in a year!!!!! Side note - I can't put my finger on it, but their is always something off with Channing's style. His wife's not any better with the constant over dressing - what's with all the layers???? - she needs to simplify!!!!

Lastly here is cutie Adam Brody and his girlfriend of 9 months, screenwriter Lerene Scafa. They were taking in some of the ridiculously beautiful wether out in L.A.!!!! I love these two together - they seem very well suited!!!!

HE'S HERE

HE'S HERE!!!!!!!!
My Mr. Perfect has touched down safely in Vancouver for the Eclipse re-shoots. The above photo is him leaving Heathrow airport this morning and arriving in Vancouver just a couple hours ago (below pic)- I love that he plays guitar and I love that his guitar case is old and beaten up - so bad boy - meets dirty - meets artist - meets vintage collector - meets ridiculously sexy!!!!!!!!!

They say because of conflicting schedules, Rob, Kristen, and Taylor are pulling 3 really long days as opposed to doing 1 week of shorter days - that really sucks, because the chances of them hanging out in town to catch any shows or even going out to dinner are pretty unlikely!!!! Oh well I don't live out there anyway and I think it's near impossible to hope that he would come and hang in Yarrow!!!!!!!!

At least promotion for Eclipse starts soon which means we will be seeing him none stop as he does the promotional tour - it was just announced that he will be on Ellen May 19th - yes!!!!!! and then off to Oprah to celebrate his birthday on May 24th - can't fucking wait!!!!!!!

SHE MAY BE OVER STUART TOWNSEND

CHARLIZE FINALLY GETTING IT RIGHT
It's been months since Charlize has managed to put together a perfect ensemble - basically since her Stuart Townsend split. I am so happy to announce that today she finally got it right!!! Here she is at The Dior & Vogue celebration of The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project at Soho House. She is dressed in head to toe Dior - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!! Those shoes are to die for - perfection!!!

SANDRA HAS A BABY, FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM JESSE

TAKE LESSONS LINDSAY LOHAN'S OF THE WORLD
She has had a baby for 3 and a half months and none of us knew - why - because she wanted to keep this shit secret!!!! See it's possible!!!!!!! She is showing all those other attention whores what it's like to have class!!!! I love Sandra, I always have, but this recent move has moved her into my #1 Bestie spot.

At the same time as announcing her adoption of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans (the cutest!!!), she also announced that she will be divorcing Jesse James. The existence of Louis was a serious surprise, the divorcing of Jesse not so much!!!

She decided to make things public with one of the more reputable entertainment/gossip magazines - PEOPLE. She has made it clear that she will be adopting alone, despite the couples 3 year battle to receive little Louis. I imagine her new little man has made this horrible transition in her life more bearable!!! Thank goodness for Louis - the timing of his arrival seems meant to be!!

When asked about how she is doing and adjusting she responded: "He's just perfect, I can't even describe him any other way,". "It's like he's always been a part of our lives.".

The interviewer than asks her if she was aware that Jesse James had any interest in Nazism, referring to his incriminating photo.

"The photo shocked me and made me sad," she said. "This is not the man I married. This was stupid, this was ignorant. Racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life. And the man I married felt the same."

Jesse responded to People saying he has a "huge hole" and that he misses and loves Louis and seems to think he had a say in the divorce.

"The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest," he said. "Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go. Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has taken two of the things I love the most in life."

"I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children, and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb. But I believe that the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation for making this happen."

Is it wrong to feel a tiny bit sad for Jesse????????

WHERE WAS JIM CARREY IN VANCOUVER????

VANCOUVER REVIEW OF CONAN FINALLY IN!!!! - SORRY FOR THE WAIT
I know it's been weeks since Mr. Conan graced the Orpheum theatre in Vancouver and I have yet to blog about it.

I love Conan and when I heard he was bring his "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour" to Van, I jumped on the oppotunity to see him live. It's probably going to be one of the only times I ever get to see a late night personality live - so I grabbed it and dragged my very willing friend Leah along. The show opened with Reggie Watts - FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!!!! If he ever comes within a 4 hour drive of me, I am going - he is probably the funniest person I have ever seen!!! It's hard to describe him so I pulled some other people's exerts of his talents:

"Sharp, wry and elusive ... Reggie moves seamlessly from skits to songs to off-kilter stand-up, while talking in a subway train full of accents." – New York Times

"There's no one out there like Reggie Watts. Reggie covers everything from ancient history and racism to pop-culture, in a heady mix of improvised music, comedy and social insight. This guy has to be seen to be believed. Truly awesome!" –Time Out London

"Watts, with his cloud of black hair and surprisingly beautiful voice, is loads of fun to watch." – Variety

"Reggie Watts is a most unusual talent: a huge vocal range, a natural musicality, and a sidesplitting wit. Is he a comedian? A singer? A performance artist? I've seen him a few times since then and I still can't decide. Whatever, he ain't like nobody else." – Brian Eno

He totally created the best vibe to start of the big show.

After a brief break, the large monitor at the back of the stage starts playing and we get a visual of Conan in a fat suit with pizza on his belly - indicating that since his show's cancellation, he hasn't done much, but wallow in self pity. It continues with him making breakfast shakes with chips, sitting on the trampoline while his daughter jumps, continuously making slow trips to the mail box and my favorite is when after sitting on a lounge chair for a extended period of time, his daughter comes up and says "Mom, Dad smells like Pee"!!! Love it!!! As the Intro goes on you see him getting a phone call letting him know that they found a new gig for him touring North America with a live version of his T.V. show. You see him get back into shape and prep for his return!!!!

The band comes out booming Conan's opening tune and they rock the joint to pump up the audience - moments later they introduce CONAN O'BRIEN!!!!!!!!!! He comes out to a crazy crowd - nobody wanted to let up on the screaming to let the guy speak - it was so great to be there. Side note - he is really fucking skinny - I mean Really!!!! I knew he was thin, but I wasn't expecting that - either he lost weight or the camera puts on more like 30 pds!!!

Conan begins like he does with every televised show and gives us an opening monologue - it was good (not great, but good), I enjoyed the small digs at Jay Leno's expense and when he said "This is the first time anyone paid to see me. They've paid to make me go away ..."!!! He then Introduces Andy and they give us a couple funny songs and a little comedy back and forth, this is when things start to get a little slow. It became obvious about 45 minutes in, that Conan is not used to providing a hour and half set of stand up entertainment. He is used to doing his 10 minute monologue, some funny pre-shot skits and then 30 minutes of interviews. To his credit it was only the 2nd show on the road and it appears (to our bad luck) that things have really picked up along the tour!!!.

Conan than pulled out some of his past shticks that are now claimed to be the property of NBC, luckily that didn't stop him from delivering Triumph the Insult Dog, the Movie Lever (Chuck Norris clips) and never forget the Masturbating Bear -- (now the Self-Pleasuring Panda) -- in what was largely a re-creation of his old show minus the guests.


The day before the show we had heard rumors from local radio station's that he would be interviewing guests and possibly Michael Buble might be coming down to the show - I of course jump on the rumor mill hoping for the best - unfortunately there was no Michael, but thankfully Conan did allow one of his writers to come out and do some Stand up (which was perfect timing as a break from The Conan/Andy shenanigans was badly needed!!!). His name was Deon Cole and although a couple of jokes fell short, he delivered a pretty funny performance. After his set the remainder of the show was filled with musical segments, Andy's live commercial's featuring Japa dogs and The Penthouse and Conan's interesting wardrobe changes. All in all the show was awesome and Conan stuck true to form. Just before he performed the final song he took a minute to be serious and express his appreciation for all the support he has received over the past 3 months. It was one of my favorite parts . . . .He said:

"In 1993, when I first got started in television, just about everybody in America hated what we were doing," "The first people to embrace us were Canadians."

"During those early days of hosting the New York-based Late Night with Conan O'Brien, he could always tell when Canadians were in the audience because they were the ones who actually laughed at his jokes", he said.

"You saved my life and we've gone through a lot of weird stuff in the last 3½ months," "The support that we have had from all of you online has been absolutely extraordinary."

Needless to say, I was 1/2 a second away from tears!!!

I love it when someone with as much talent, success and money can be humbled and appreciate those that brought him to that place. I had a great time.

ONLY MAJOR COMPLAINT: So as I said earlier on, I was a little disappointed that there were no guests - Turns out I am justified and we were seriously fucking ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!! He had fucking Jim Carrey on his show the other day and in previous weeks he had Jon Hamm, Johan Hill, Dave Matthews, Pearl Jam, Chris Isaak . . . . . the list goes on!!!!!!! Seriously is it because we are in Vancouver and no one wants to make the trip?????????? If that's the case than get Michael Buble - he lives here for frig sakes!!!!!!!!!! Plus additional side note - he has a blog that has small write up's about each stop - Vancouver got nothing!!!! There is a section titled Vancouver, but that's only because that is where he blogged from, it's says nothing about the show in Vancouver!!!!!!! I guess we are forgettable hey Conan!!!!! Okay my rant is over, but I am still a little pissed!!!!!!

To end this on a positive note, because I really did enjoy the show. I guess Jay was here a couple of months ago and people were really disappointed with the lack of energy and enthusiasm he displayed (you think after everything he would be appreciative to still have people buying tickets to his shows!!!). Anyway lack of energy is one of the last things I would ever say about Conan's show - you could tell that he wanted to be there and that he appreciated those seats being sold!!!!!!!!

COMPENSATING FOR BAD REVUES

WORKIN IT HARD
This is Jen at the UK premiere of "THE BREAK UP PLAN". She is never one for subtlety and that is reiterated again today. Now I am known for going big or going home so I really can't be hat'in on the girl!!!! In all honesty I actually love the big hair and she is fucking rocking that dress. One thing you can always say about Jen - she is the constant fashionista whether it's a bust or not!!!

"THE BACK UP PLAN" did okay this past weekend, but definitely not great!! It seems to be echoing her career over the past couple of years.

AMANDA PEET MOMMY X 2

BABY #2
Amanda just welcomed home another baby girl - Molly June Benioff on Monday, April 19th in New York. She was scheduled to appear on Letterman that night to promote "Please Give", but for obvious reasons was forced to cancel. She is married to Writer/Director David Benioff and they also have a 3 year old daughter named Frances.

"Please Give" is about a New York city couple that butt heads with the granddaughters of the elderly woman who lives in the apartment they own. Amanda costars with the always wonderful Catherine Keener along with Rebecca Hall, Elise Ivy and Oliver Platt. I love indie flicks - I will totally be going to see this one.
