Taylor Lautner lands Max Steel

Twilight hunky Taylor Lautner has leveraged his abs and New Moon popularity into another acting job... Max Steel? Is this a step up?

Don't worry, you are not uncool for not knowing who Max Steel is. He's an action figure from Mattel that has a little known comic book behind him. There was also a short lived animated series. The premise for the character is that Max Steel is an xgames type athlete whom is recruited by the government but some thing goes horribly wrong! Nanobots infect his body giving him superhuman strength.

Word is J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani are also still in the running. Perhaps one of these guys can save Taylor from a bad movie role.

Follow The White Rabbit To A Whole New Wonderland As SyFy Kicks Off Marketing Campaign Behind 4-Hour Movie Event Alice!

On Friday, December 4, if you’re riding the New York City subways, buses or commuter rail lines -- or near historic landmarks such as the Empire State Building -- you just might meet a White Rabbit in business attire. Please don’t panic. You haven’t fallen down the rabbit hole!

Instead, you have entered Syfy’s Wonderland of innovative multi-media marketing behind the four-hour movie event Alice, premiering Sunday, December 6, at 9PM (ET/PT) and starring Academy Award-winner Kathy Bates (Misery) as the Queen of Hearts and Caterina Scorsone (Crash television series) as Alice.

During the morning commute in New York, on Friday, December 4, 50 White Rabbits hunt across the city for Alice and the Hatter, handing out Alice playing cards displaying their faces containing the text, "Have you seen this pair?” At 12:30PM, all 50 White Rabbits converge on Union Square, where they hope to finally meet Alice and the Hatter – along with performing a choreographed “step” dance routine. ( See video below)

Said Blake Callaway, Vice President, Brand Marketing, Syfy: “Classic tales retold with a twist are uniquely Syfy. We want to create a new memory of Alice in Wonderland just as we did so successfully with Tin Man and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. By tapping into pop music, literature and even a white rabbit on the run to make the connections to our Alice, the marketing campaign for Alice highlights the familiar icons associated with Wonderland and gives them a contemporary spin. This major television event provides a fitting conclusion to what has been an extraordinary year.”

Syfy developed the promotion with long-time agency partner, Fallon Minneapolis. Fallon conducted primary research to probe consumers’ relationship with the classic tale and uncovered a strong association with the character of The White Rabbit, which inspired the marketing concept.

The experience starts on the web the week before premiere, where Twitter users are urged to “Follow the White Rabbit @WhiteRabbitinc” – a specially created Twitter account that provides updates throughout the week as the White Rabbit pursues Alice and the Hatter.

Adam Lambert Gets Cut from More ABC Performances

American Idol runner up Adam Lambert has had yet another ABC performance canceled. The singer's recent performance at the American Music Awards caused ABC and the FCC do get thousands of complaints due to to Lambert's homoerotic performance which included kissing a male dancer. After receiving so many negative reactions ABC canceled Lambert's scheduled appearance on Good Morning America claiming that his stage performance was not suitable for a morning program. The network has just canceled yet another Lambert performance.

"Yes, sadly friends, ABC has canceled my appearances on Kimmel and NYE," Lambert wrote on his Twitter page. ":( don't blame them. It's the FCC heat."

As of right now the openly gay star is not planning on pressing charges or accusing ABC of homophobia. He is staying positive and hoping everything will blow over.

"I AM doing Leno though. And lookin into something for NYE," he Tweeted. "It'll all blow over. Let's focus on being positive! :)"

Jude and Sienna: Back On?

Jude Law and Sienna Miller were once Britain's favorite celebrity couple - until they notoriously split after Jude cheated with the nanny hired to watch his children. Now, rumors are swirling that the duo is back on after recently being spotted together several times. The two are both in New York performing on Broadway, with Law starring in "Hamlet" and Miller in "After Miss Julie." According to Britain's Daily Mail, the two "have steadily become closer and Miss Miller has been cooking for Law after their shows. Yesterday a beaming Law left his New York flat while Miss Miller dashed out moments later." The Mail also claims that they "shared a £210 ($350) bottle of wine, pizza and a lingering kiss."

Both Law and Miller have had their fair share of tabloid attention, with Miller having an affair with married actor Balthazar Getty and Law fathering a child with model Samantha Burke. The two have yet to confirm their reconciliation.

Funny Video Time! Charlie Bit Me Auto Tune!

Everyone knows the famous Youtube video "Charlie Bit Me" and everyone knows the music industry's fascination with Auto Tune! Why not put the two together! Ingenious idea, just hilarious!

Meredith Baxter Comes Out on "Today"

Former Family Ties star Meredith Baxter revealed to Matt Lauer on NBC's Today that she is gay, saying: "I am a lesbian and it was a later-in-life recognition. Some people would say, well, you're living a lie and, you know, the truth is - not at all. This has only been for the past seven years."

The actress, who has five children has been married three times, came out publicly because she wanted the story to be "in her own words," despite being a very private person. She stated that even though she views publicly coming out as very personal, it is a "political act," and she hopes that by being openly gay, she will be helping to gain rights for gay and lesbian Americans. She claims, "If anyone knows someone who's gay or lesbian…they're less likely to vote against them to take away their rights. I can be that lesbian you know now."

Most Fascinating People of 2009

Barbara Walters has decided who the most fascinating people of 2009 are. (So we didn't have to think about it ourselves.) Those appearing on the list include reality television mother Kate Gosselin, former vice president nominee Sarah Palin, and no-pants wearing singer Lady Gaga. Others appearing on the list include FOX news anchor Glenn Beck, producer Tyler Perry, and NFL quarterback Brett Favre.

The obvious choice for most fascinating person of 2009 is America's country singing sweetie-pie Taylor Swift. Her sold out concerts and high record sales are impressive for a girl of her age. Taylor Swift became a household name after Kanye West rudely interrupted her VMA acceptance speech.

The most questionable person who made the list? American Idol runner up, Adam Lambert. Lambert hasn't made much noise thus far, but has been hyped up by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. Lambert has been in the news recently for kissing a male band member in a performance during the American Music Awards. Good Morning America canceled Lambert's appearance after this smooching incident.

Women Claim Affairs With Tiger Woods

The past week Tiger Woods auto accident has brought a deluge of criticism and speculation upon Tiger Woods, not as a driver or golfer but as a philandering husband.

Almost from the start the media asked why he would have an accident just outside of his driveway at 2:00 in the morning.

Tabloids such as TMZ and the Inquirer threw out old news that Tiger was having an affair and that his wife may have been upset with him the night of his accident. It seems those allegations have prompted women to come forward with their own claims.

Now The Sun has got their own siren, Jaimee Grubbs a 24 year old bartender/waitress whom claims she has text messages to prove an almost three year affair with Tiger Woods. Grubbs was featured in 2009 on VH1's Tool Academy as a contestants 'girlfriend' in the same time frame she claims she's been seeing Woods.

According to Grubbs, Tiger's wife was keen to the extra-marital activity and was doing her own investigation, "My wife has been through my phone and may be calling you." In short, Tiger's wife Elin Nordegren was going through his phone records and calling numbers.

Grubbs explains that Tiger asked her to delete her name from her own voice-mail-box in an effort to stonewall Elin Nordegren from connecting all the dots.

"Hey, it's Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that.

"Just have it as a number on the voice-mail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."

Along with her bombshell claims, Grubbs has produced text messages which The Sun provided photos of. See below:

According to The Sun, Grubbs affair goes back to April 2007:

April 13, 2007: Grubbs met Woods at a Las Vegas Club. The two had sex within days at the W Hotel in San Diego.

June 18, 2007: Woods first daughter Sam is Born.

February 2009: Woods cancels a meeting due to birth of son Charlie.

September 27, 2009: Woods inundates Grubbs with texts.

September 30, 2009: Woods tries to meet with Grubbs after playing in San Francisco

October 18, 2009: Yet another sexual escapade takes place at Newport Beach's Island Hotel.

November 24, 2009: Here Woods feels heat from wife Elin and urges Grubbs to shroud her phone in mystery by deleting her own voice-mail greeting so any attempt by Woods wife would meet a dead end.

November 27, 2009: Woods accident outside his driveway takes place. The circus begins.

By her own accounts Tiger spoke of being with her in a relationship outside his marriage while never really connecting with her for any meaningful relationship outside of sex.

After their first sexual encounter she said of Woods, "Afterwards, he was like, 'You should probably go.' He told me that he has a hard time sleeping in the same bed with somebody.

Oddly enough Grubbs seems to have missed out on the fact her going public about Tiger will ruin any hope of her having a future friendship with Tiger, she says, "Whatever happens with Elin, I hope Tiger and I can reconnect and remain good friends." I can't imagine that statement going over well Elin Nordegren. I can imagine the conversation she'll have with Tiger over it.

It seems clear that inside the Woods household, Tiger's wife was onto him, and they apparently settled their family concern a little too publicly and now Pandora's box is open. Had they kept things from spilling out into their driveway, this may have been an affair Tiger would endure and overcome.

Now his wife must face public humiliation and that sometimes forces couples into divorce. David Letterman has recently dodged that bullet but he owned up to it and publicly apologized to his wife on his show by her request. Woods recent public statement seems to have been an enigmatic apology crafted by public relations writers. This story is about to really take wing.

Former Miss Argentina Dies after Plastic Surgery

Solange Magnano, crowned Miss Argentina in 1994, died over the weekend after receiving surgery for a gluteoplasty, or, in layman's terms, "butt implants." The cosmetic procedure went horribly wrong the day after the surgery, when the liquid injected into Magnano's buttocks "went to her lungs and brain," causing a pulmonary embolism - a blocked artery in the lung. She died after spending three days in critical condition. The former beauty queen was only 38, and the mother of 7-year-old twins. The official cause of death is currently still under investigation.

Magnano's close friend Roberto Piazza stated about the tragedy: "A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind." Her untimely death is sure to serve as a warning about the risks that come with surgery of any kind, let alone elective procedures.

Meryl Streep Still Gets the Romantic Leads at 60!

Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep can’t believe she’s still be offered roles in big movies now that she’s reached 60 despite Hollywood's discrimination against older women.

“It’s incredible - I’m 60, and I’m playing the romantic lead in romantic comedies," she said. "Bette Davis is rolling over in her grave.

“I’ve been given great, weird, interesting parts well past my ‘sell by date’. I remember saying to my husband Don when I was 38, ‘Well, it’s over.’ And then we kicked the can down the road a little further.”

Meryl has won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in ‘Sophie’s Choice’ and the Best Supporting Actress for ‘Kramer Vs Kramer.' She claims she no longer cares what people think of her.

“I can’t remember the last time I really worried about being appealing," she told Vanity Fair magazine. "I think it was a really long time ago. It’s freeing as an actress, but whether a director likes it or not is a different thing. I remember [director and co-star] Albert Brooks saying to me in ‘Defending Your Life,’ ‘Could you just make it a little sweeter?’ And that’s been repeated by other people in the years since then.”

Nicole Richie is Getting a Comedy Show

Socialite Nicole Richie – who starred in hit reality show ‘The Simple Life’ with Paris Hilton – has teamed up with ABC to create and star in a new comedy show.

“I am so excited to announce that I am officially working on a television project," Nicole said on her website. "I am creating a half hour scripted comedy for ABC in which I will be starring in, as well as producing.”

“The comedy revolves around a young, modern and professional woman who must balance her business and family relationships. She must deal with, and navigate, the many ideas of what a woman’s role is: modern vs. traditional.”

Nicole recently announced she was putting herself on bedrest after being hospitalised with pneumonia, but she admits she has been inspired by women from all different walks of life for the show.

“Lately, I have been surrounded by many different women of all ages and walks of life," she said. "It amazes me to watch and observe how many different ideas there are about what a woman’s role should be in this era. I’ve taken these fascinating ideas, and compiled them into something that I think will be very special and funny! We’re still in the very early stages and I can’t wait to share more with you soon!”

IronMan 2 - War Machine!

The poster says it all. War Machine will make his first appearance on film in Iron Man 2. Oh... and it arrives in theaters May 7th 2010.

If you are not up on your Marvel Universe characters, War Machine is Tony Stark's military buddy Rhody. Don Cheadle replaces actor Terrence Howard as Rhody in Iron Man 2. Says Cheadle about the change, "The sort of ancillary buzz around it was kind of weird, kind of strange. Terrence is a friend of mine. But the actual playing it, I just felt like it was my role. I wasn't made to feel like I had to sort of take care of what was done before. I really feel like I could make it my own."

The War Machine armor is unlike Iron Man's. War Machine is built for combat, steeped in wrist mounted and shoulder mounted firepower.

Anthony Michael Hall In Trouble for Biting Girlfriend

Anthony Michael Hall's come a long way since The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, apparently. He got into quite the spat with his girlfriend Diana Falzone, and details have emerged that the actor "bit his girlfriend's forehead" and "pushed, shoved and spit at" her during the domestic violence incident, which took place around 2 am on November 10 in Falzone's apartment. Hall then left the apartment, and returned drunk later that morning and pounded on the door until the cops came and escorted him out. Falzone recently ended the couple's year-long relationship, and has obtained a temporary restraining order against Hall. Hall, who suffers from bipolar disorder and has previously battled a drinking problem, was questioned by police, but is not currently under investigation.

Worst Drive Ever

Tiger Woods didn't drive too well this weekend. During the wee hours of Friday morning, Woods drove his car into a fire hydrant and into tree. Thankfully, his wife heroically rescued him by bashing out the rear window of his SUV with - what else? - a golf club. Woods went to the hospital with minor lacerations to his face. He didn't suffer any serious injuries.

Then the morning news coverage woke up and dug a little deeper into Woods' one car accident.

Reports surfaced earlier this week stating that Tiger Woods was involved with another woman, Rachel Uchitel. Tiger Woods's wife, Elin Nordegren, confronted Woods about the alleged affair. There was a domestic dispute at Woods's dwelling in an exclusive gated community in Florida. According to published reports, Woods' wife became physically abusive toward Woods during a heated argument, thus causing the lacerations and bruising on his face. Contrary to the original story, Mrs. Woods was reacting to her husband's adulterous behavior, not saving the day in her superhero costume.

Woods is one of the most successful athletes of all time. He is the first billion dollar man in professional athletics, due largely to multiple successful endorsements and tournament earnings. Woods is a very private man. In Tiger Woods' camp, untrustworthy associates don't stay employed for long.

Since Friday's accident, Tiger Woods released a statement addressing the accident and the rumors about his infidelity. He calls the rumors "false, unfounded, and malicious". Woods asks that the public allow his family and himself time to deal with their own problems privately.

Is Batman a Black Lantern?

Months ago we at PCM had our ears to the ground listening to the rumblings in the DC Universe regarding Batman's death. Speculation was rampant. We researched the truth of where the story was going.

Was Batman lost in time? Did he die at the hands of his father? Was he to be re-animated as a Black Lantern? Who was the Black Glove? We provided all the answers in an earlier article.

Now the worm has turned. DC has made it's big reveal. Batman, or at least the body of Batman has become a Black Lantern. What does this mean? Is Bruce Wayne truly dead and gone forever? Or is he banished in time? Grant Morrison's Blackest Night story title says it all. But notice there may be a clue in that name. Notice that Night is not Knight. Could that be the clue that the Batman in his story is in fact an impostor? Perhaps that is the answer to the mystery of Nekron changing Batman back to a skull after kills everyone.

One thing is certain. Many readers are on board with this story as this Black Lantern Batman raises hell with his fellow Super Heroes. The Black Lantern Batman can kill instantly with a look.

There are many Black Lanterns now, Batman is the newest on Earth.

The Black Lantern Corps is composed of re-animated bodies of former heroes, villains and even normal people from all across The Universe. The Black Lantern Corps is powered by the corpse of The Anti-Monitor (encased in a battery) and are led by the The Black Hand.

The question of who becomes a Black Lantern is also up for discussion. Many believe it has to do with the person accepting death. Those that accept their death do not awake as Black Lanterns, those that did not want to die will respond to the call of the Black Lantern.

If you are into comic books, this is a story that is gaining momentum. You may want to pick it up and join in to see where it goes. If you need some more back story to understand the history of Bruce Wayne as a Black Lantern read Batman Becomes A God.

Is Tiger Woods Heading for A Billion Dollar Divorce

TMZ is stoking the fire of Tiger Woods affair while Internet searches for "Tiger Woods Affair" have reached 900,000. TMZ claims there was a fight just before the accident and that Woods is having an affair with a NY socialite.

As if that were not enough to create a buzz, The National Enquirer is quickly joining the fray reporting that Woods may have had an affair with Rachel Uchitel. She claims she has many 'sexting' messages from Woods. While she is known as serial liar, her timing may garner her some attention non-the-less.

Is this all over nothing? Speculators ask, "Why then was Tiger leaving home at 2:30 am in the first place?"

Meanwhile police on the scene of his accident were quick to point out there was no indication of domestic violence and that Elin Nordegren (his wife) was frantic and upset.

Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor reported to AP, "He had lacerations to his upper and lower lip, and blood in his mouth. My My officer asked her how she got him out of the vehicle and she said she had to break one of the windows out with a golf club."

Saylor continued, "It was her husband laying on the ground, so she was pretty upset," he said. "My officers had no indication of domestic violence or anything like that."

The tabloids are hoping this blows up. It will be the biggest divorce in history. A divorce dividing up a billion dollars.

Tiger Woods Injured in Car Accident

At approximately 2:25 a.m Friday morning, pro golfer Tiger Woods pulled out of his driveway in his black 2009 Escalade and struck a fire hydrant, then hit a tree in a neighbor's yard outside his Florida home. He was subsequently taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Florida, where he was reported to be in serious condition and was treated for facial lacerations. It is also reported that alcohol did not play a role in the accident. Good news arrived at around 3 PM, when his agent claimed Woods had been released from the hospital and was doing fine.

Lady Gaga Feeds her Little Monsters

OK, this kick of Lady Gaga's calling her fans little monsters is a bit lame, but she is far from lame.

This week hundreds of fans waited outside a Best Buy in LA overnight for no more than her autograph. Getting word of the crowd, she sent them pizza. Actually is was 80 cheese pizza's and the tab came to approximately $1,000.

Lady Gaga tweeted: Sending all my little monsters little pizzas for waiting all night for me at Best Buy. I hop you're hungry... eat up. I love u!

Who was the lucky pizza shop? Papa John's.

That's not all. The wait really paid for some fans as she gave away a lock of her blond hair, a jigsaw puzzle and a personal note.

Upon arriving she announced, "I will sign every single one of your CD's" drawing loud cheers and screams from adoring fans. Lady Gaga is quickly learning how to treat fans with respect. For a dance queen, she may last a while...

Looks like the folks at Funny or Die agree. Enjoy!

Monday night, the final episode of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" aired on TLC after five seasons. The final hour featured the Gosselin's eight children touring a fire station with Jon, then visiting a local dairy farm with Kate. The show was once loved by audiences all over the country because of wholesome scenes like these, but in the past year the show gained notoriety for the bitter divorce between Jon and Kate, bringing production to a halt. TLC planned on creating a new show called 'Kate Plus 8,' giving Jon less of the spotlight, but he had a sudden change of heart about having his kids filmed for national television and kept the show from getting off the ground.

The estranged couple were filmed separately, and both aired their opinions about the show's end. Kate claimed, "I feel like it's been taken from us, from me and the kids," and said that she felt the end was "needless. It's useless, it's totally avoidable...This is a very bittersweet goodbye for me because the kids are already missing it," while Jon told the camera, "Our marriage fell apart and I felt like I was free. And I kinda took advantage of it for a while and didn't really think about my actions, obviously, until I started getting paparazzi and written about. But that's maturing. That's growing up."

Paula Deen Smacked in the Face with Ham

For the "that's gotta hurt" category: celebrity chef Paula Deen was volunteering for the Hosea Feed the Hungry food drive in Atlanta, Georgia, and the thanks she got for her trouble was a renegade ham to the face. The incident was accidental, as the ham was merely being tossed for loading and Deen's face just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Despite needing to ice her nose afterward, the chef laughed it off and went back to being her jolly Southern self. Lucky for us, the whole thing was caught on tape. Check it out:

Miley Cyrus and Her Brother Want Matching Tattoos

Metro Station rocker Trace Cyrus has several tattoos, and after getting a matching design to his singer father Billy Ray Cyrus he now can’t wait until 17-year-old Miley is old enough to get her first piece of body art.

“I already have a matching one with my dad, there’s no reason I wouldn’t do it with my siblings," he said. "Someone you’re that close to, it’s something that means something to you obviously, so why wouldn’t you do it?”

Miley still has another year to go before she can get some body art to match her brother, but the siblings – who are currently touring together – often swap relationship advice with one another.

“She helps me with my girl problems, I talk to her about boys she’s talking to," single Trace told OK! magazine. "She has a smart head on her shoulders and anything that she decides is going to be the right decision.”

Trace, 20, also shared that he and his mother Tish are getting matching tattoos as well.

“My mom’s going to get a ribcage tattoo that is definitely the biggest tattoo she’s ever gotten," he said. "I’m definitely proud of her for that. It will definitely be a little bit different of an experience for me. I’ve never gone to get a tattoo with my mom ever. She’s taken me to get a tattoo but we’ve never both gotten one at the same time.”

FHL - Adoptee's Worst Nightmare

Matthew Roberts found out he was adopted when he was ten years old. Roberts spent over a decade locating his mother with the help of social services. When she was finally located, his mother informed him that he was once named "Lawrence Alexander". When Roberts inquired about his father, his mother remained mum on the topic. Little did he know that his biological father is Charles Manson, one of the most notorious serial killers of all time.

Charles Manson and his family committed a string of murders in the summer of 1969. He has been incarcerated for the past three decades. It took Roberts five years to drum up the courage to contact Manson. When he finally sent his father letters in prison, Roberts received several responses right away. He cryptically signed off each letter with a swastika. Manson told Roberts: "You got the same father I got. A hobo just left on the midnight train and died, lost at sea."

Robert's mother, Terry, was enamored with Manson's charisma and boarded a bus with Manson and his family. They wound up in San Francisco, where Terry claims Manson raped her during a drug binge. She returned home shortly after and gave birth nine months later on March 22, 1968. Terry gave the child up for adoption.

When Matthew Roberts met his mother, she told him he looked exactly like his father. However, Roberts remains optimistic about the situation. He stated: "I don't even like the fact that I'm big. It makes me even scarier. My hero is Gandhi. I'm an extremely non-violent, peaceful person and a vegetarian. I don't even kill bugs. I've had long hair all my life. I could make it go away, but I can't let the world and their fears change me."

Justin Bieber Shuts Down NY Mall

Tween girls camped out overnight or arrived during the wee morning hours in Nassau County, New York this weekend. The reason? A chance to see fifteen year old singing sensation, Justin Bieber. Three thousand girls began pushing and shoving to get a closer look at JB, but wound up causing a raucous. Island Def Jams artist Bieber was scheduled to make an appearance at Roosevelt Field Mall, but he never made it into the building.

An Island Def Jam vice president was arrested at the event for not cooperating during crowd control proceedings. Bieber and his mother were turned away at the door by police. He later told WBLI Radio that the police "threatened to arrest my mom and I." Five people were taken to the local hospital with minor injuries.

Somewhere, the Jonas Brothers are sighing in relief. The tween girl spotlight has finally shifted onto someone else.

Follow-Up: Demi Moore W Magazine Photoshop Mystery

Just this week PCM reported that Demi Moore's W Magazine cover may have some serious issues. While others in the media speculated Demi may have had a hip-reduction via-Photoshop, we asserted that she may in fact had significantly more done to her photo.

See our previous article complete with detailed photos: Demi Moore's Body Replaced by W Magazine.

We contacted Demi directly after she tweeted a photo she claimed was the 'original' photo from the magazine shoot. As she choose her words carefully tweeting: Here is the original image people my hips were not retouched don't let these people bullxxxx you!

PCM questioned Demi asking, "was this photo direct from camera?" to which we received no answer. PCM speculated from the onset that perhaps what Demi received from W Magazine and what the original photo looked like at the time it was taken may indeed be two separate images.

At worst another model's body was used as a template and sampled over to her photo for enhancements. At best, Demi has just plain reversed time.

Is it stands now, W Magazine has finally stated that the photo was retouched but still leaves Demi Moore to fight this battle on her own.

Now the photographer who started this entire uproar (not the photographer that took the actual picture) has spoken up in response to Demi's very assertive tweet. He says in a communication to our friends at Celebitchy.com:

I saw your article on the Demi Moore Photoshop flub - I’m the photographer who started the whole thing - and after giving it a lot of thought (and being accused of “bullsh*t” by Demi overnight), I’m raising the stakes: http://twitter.com/acitrano/status/5894990728

While I really feel bad that Demi is on defense over this, I also don’t like being accused of “bullsh*t.” So, let’s find out who’s bullsh*tting. This isn’t about her and it isn’t about retouching (I’ve no problem with either). It’s about a blooper, basically. The cover is a blooper; it goes on the art department’s wall of shame. So what? We
all make mistakes. That’s got *nothing* to do with Demi. She’s a beautiful woman with or without retouching. And where the hell is W Magazine on this? Why are they forcing Demi to address it? It’s not fair to her.

There's more to this but in short, the question remains unanswered. At some point this could heat up and bubble over, but the entire fiasco could be put to rest if W Magazine and Demi Moore would provide some proof to back up the cover shot of Demi.

New Moon Mania!

It's just amazing! The entire female population has gone to the movies! You can't enter an parking lot near a movie theater without struggling to find a man in the crowd. It's an exciting time to cheer on Vampires that could work at Starbucks. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have perhaps replaced the notion of what a Vampire is. They are loving and kind, romantic and endearing.

So when do we get more of this smart and intellegent reworking of the vampire concept? Well... with the premier taking place just a day ago the DVD release date has already been announced. OK sorta... The third film Eclipse will be in theaters June 30th of 2010.

That's not even a year away! The wait won't be so long, that's important because women are not like men, they won't tolerate waiting as long as men do. Think of it, Lord of the Rings would be a year long wait and Star Wars was generally a two year wait. As for the New Moon DVD release date... Don't look for it in your Christmas stocking. The release date for DVD is approximately three months after the film finally leaves theaters. Can you say happy Valentines?

How is it the release date for Eclipse is so firm? The film makers pulled a Matrix/Kill Bill. However while those films were completed in back-to-back, Eclipse was merely filmed in quicker succession as Hollywood was confident New Moon would be a major success. The film just wrapped shooting and is post production now. It's basically already completed. Yes, it's done already and you can't just watch it! Guess the ladies will just have to wait...
