good evening! ok yes - i've seen these pictures on a bunch of other sites today but how could i pass up posting on a 'golden girls' reunion (estelle getty (84) sadly was not present) that took place on the red carpet over the weekend at the 6th annual TV land awards (which you can catch when the show airs next week) i do adore both betty white (86) and rue mcclanahan (74) but my favorite 'golden' lady hands down is bea arthur (86) probably because she played one of my favorite TV characters (besides 'dorothy zbornak') of all-time maude who happened to be the very sassy 'spin-off' cousin of 'edith bunker' (played by the incredible jean stapleton (85)) from my top show everall in the family - nobody makes sitcoms like those anymore - both shows were completely ahead of their time and they still hold up today! i did like the golden girls but you simply can't compare it to norman lear's sheer genuis! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
oh my word! what a day it has been - overall i had a splendid time covering the 2008 MTV movie awards which were held earlier today at universal studios - although there was a massive fire on the lot this morning - the show went on without a hitch (although traffic getting to the venue was totally insane...what would normally take me about 5-10 minutes from my place took about one hour & twenty minutes - not good times)
i also got to meet up with my blogger pals vera from i'm not obsessed and jocelyn from in case you didn't know and ran into my gals from hollyscoop along w/ the always lovely jen g. & mr. wayne from buzznet (they had trace cyrus' (brother to miley) girlfriend hanna beth covering arrivals - she was adorable too) plus i must give shout outs to my way cool new friends from bop & teen beat magazine!
after all the gold (yellow) carpet arrivals - i took my very decent seat at the show - which was quite enjoyable (many thanks to sarah & mylan for making it all happen) highlights included performances from coldplay and pussycat dolls and the reunion of wayne's world w/ mike myers & dana carvey was awesome & unexpected! below are a bunch of pictures i snapped - i must send out loads of big love to both robin antin (creator of PCD) & laura bell bundy (broadway superstar) who took the time out to chat with me and posed for a pic with yours truly (yet be warned - i have a slightly goofy face on with ms. antin - she was so freakin' awesome & friendly - i can't even tell you - she's like my new favorite person) popbytes over & out for tonight - i so need to get some sleep - xxoo
PS if you happened to be watching the pre-show on MTV - towards the end sarah jessica parker was being interviewed and you see me standing beside ms. vera from INO in the background - i'll try to post the clip later this week!
hey kids! today i'll be coming to live from the 2008 MTV movie awards - i'm super excited to have a spot on the red carpet plus i'll be getting to see the show as well! i will keep you updated via twitter - so keep refreshing and i'll do my best to keep the updates flowing from my end! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo (even though there's a big fire going on at universal studios - the show is still going on!)
hey hey! i made it to boston safe and sound without any major drama - it's a bit colder than in los angeles but that's a total welcome change since it has been a heat wave in southern california! anyways i'm pretty much running on empty at this point - i didn't get much sleep last night and sleeping on the plane never quite works out for me (i ended up watching maude on DVD) anyways i wanted to bring you a fun pop item - below is the promo poster for the upcoming MTV movie awards (taking place on sunday june 1st) which are being hosted by funny man mike myers (who is also starring in the upcoming flick the love guru along w/ jessica alba) plus there's two shots of mr. myers in his 'buff suit' standing next to lindsay lohan (i might be live blogging from the event like i did last year - stay tuned) i hope everyone is enjoying their weekend - i promise to check back in when i can! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
hey hey! last night nickelodeon held its annual kids' choice awards here in los angeles hosted by funny man jack black and the big rumor was that britney spears was going to walk the red carpet but ms. spears was a no show - at least she added some extra buzz to the awards - i didn't even know about the show until i heard the rumors of britney possibly making an appearance! she's been laying low the past few weeks which is a totally good thing and now supposedly there's more photographers assigned to follow miley cyrus (who picked up two awards) than ms. spears - although miley is far less interesting than britney! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey kids! below is a brand new sexy promo photo of rihanna shot by kick ass photographer david lachapelle for the upcoming '07 MTV video music awards - mr. lachapelle also shot fall out boy, kanye west, foo fighters, & chris brown for the new VMA campaign, which hits everywhere this coming monday (aug 20th) i'm actually looking forward to this year's awards (taking place in las vegas on sept 9th) thankfully it sounds like my messy but oh so talented gal amy winehouse will still be performing (although she has canceled all of her august appearances...oh yes it's time for amy to finally get her shit together) plus we got word today confirming (not officially but it does seem likely) that britney spears will be opening the show...trainwreck-ville here we come! anyways i'm still so tired from last night - it has been a super long day & i'll probably post my junior senior & the roxy review tomorrow night when i can actually focus! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
PS i wasn't the one who blocked out the boobs - the picture came censored - i'm not sure mr. lachapelle would approve of something like that done to one of his pictures...
well hello hello hello! i'm coming to you 'live' from a 'blogger viewing room' over at the MTV movie awards! i really had no clue what to expect but i figured i would at least head over and see what was going! this year the show is being held over at the gibson amphitheatre which is part of the whole universal studios complex - a five minute drive from popbytes' humble abode! although they've (MTV) placed a bunch of restrictions on us bloggers - including no cameras (i totally should have brought it anyways - i'm always trying to obey the rules but then i get screwed) when i first arrived i was way annoyed - i kept thinking what the hell is the point of inviting us down?!? i seriously could have easily done what i'm doing from the comfort of my own living room...
yet thankfully i ran into ms. lisa from a socialite's life who is always a blast to hang around - so we've been busy catching up on both celebrity & personal gossip! i've also met some other great people including marjorie (meevee), hallie (tmz), kimmy (ivillage), elina (laist), and jared (just jared) and as a bonus i ran into one of my hollyscoop girls diana - gosh i love my hollyscoop gals! ok so here we go - ms. silverman is about to take to the stage! i'll be back with more...stay tuned!
OMG! sarah nailed the opening - totally sassy - just the way we like her! although i know one person who probably isn't feeling her at the moment - yup paris hilton who is making her 'last' public appearance before going to the slammer! sarah joked that the prison would be painting the bars to look like penises and she was worried that ms. hilton would probably end up busting her teeth on them - ha! plus they nabbed a sour pussed reaction shot from ms. hilton - i loved it! (below are the before & after the joke shots) i don't know what MTV thought about her opening but ms. silverman should open every awards show there is - she rocks!
oh look it's my darling victoria beckham (i was just interviewed a few days ago by a UK production company on the beckhams' move to LA which went very well!) introducing rihanna performing her super hot single umbrella with jay-z! oh btw don't bother looking for beyonce in the crowd - she's over in europe doing shows or some bullshit like that...
i'm not really keeping track of the winners - i'll make sure to link to the complete list at the end - as we know these awards are really more for fun than anything - this certainly isn't the oscars but i did get a chuckle out of will ferrell & sacha baron cohen making out after they nabbed the 'best kiss' award for talladega nights!
cameron diaz's legs are looking way long & super hot - she was up on stage introducing mike meyers who is about to get some kinda lifetime achievement award - i wonder if ms. diaz ran into jessica biel yet?!? oh popbytes does love a good catfight! oh pardon me it's a 'generation' award for mr. meyers...
here comes my gal amy winehouse being introduced by bruce willis! (wasn't he trying to get with her a few months back?!?) she's performing rehab again...i was hoping she'd sing another track but she did an awesome job - and looked nice and tan (i know she went tanning today because she stopped by where my pal zach works for a bite to eat after getting her color on!)
special props must go out to dane cook who so far has been the only talent to stop by the 'blogger room' and my new friend hallie (a kick-ass intern for TMZ - they should be proud to have her!) was spot on with some great questions including which jessica was a better kisser - alba or simpson? dane took the high road and said he couldn't answer because one of the jessica's would kick his ass (my bets are all on alba!) also andy signore stopped by - he won the best spoof award for his united 300 short and he was totally thrilled with his win!
just now i've just been informed my least favorite couple is about to stop by...heidi montag & spencer pratt - ugh! ok so i asked ms. montag right off the bat what's going on with her offer to pose naked in playboy - apparently the decision is still up in the air (i think they want $5 million!) i then told her 'well they do look good' (referring to her recently enhanced chest) which was a slight stab but in a nice way...ha ha ha! the couple confirmed they will be on the upcoming season the hills (they're shooting right now) which heidi promises to be the best season yet...who knows but the publicist pulled them out pretty quickly - before i started chanting lauren conrad rules - i think they could tell there was blood in the water and if they stayed any longer - we would have eaten them alive!
things seem to be winding down here - please excuse any mistakes above - i'm going to do a proof & polish when i get home! also many thanks to elina (who also brought a flask of soco - which totally hit the spot!) from laist for snapping the pics below - she did an awesome job live blogging the event! (they also have a great photo essay post) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
PS i thought paris hilton was going to be presenting an award but perhaps after ms. silverman's joke she said no no no...
hey everybody! the MTV movie awards are just around the corner - hosted by one of my favorite people ever - sarah silverman - she's hysterically funny - i totally dig her style although she'll have to tone down her usual schtick a drop - it certainly won't be like when she hosted the IFC spirit awards (watch her opening bit) where she got way sassy but i know ms. silverman will do a kick-ass job - plus she's got her trusty dog doug by her side! you must watch the clips below where sarah gets her sass on with will forte & jon heder! today i heard two things about the show from tipster on the 'inside'...both items are quite interesting! read on...
1.paris hilton will be making her last public appearance before she heads to the slammer two days after the show! (i wonder if she'll have the 'holy bible' in tow?!?)
2. even juicier - beyonce is up for an award and is threatening to be a no show because she's all in a jealous tizzy over her boyfriend jay-z performing with rihanna! they'll be doing her new single umbrella and it's a hot track (take a look at the video) maybe all that heat has caused sparks between the two! damn if ms. rihanna stole beyonce's man - that would be so darn scandalous - we'll totally need to keep our eyes on this situation - oh drama!
i'll have to do a separate post on this but i've had a listen to rihanna's upcoming third album good girl gone bad and oh my word - it's really good - i'm loving it right now - literally - i'm listening to it as i pen this post! the album is going to have many hit singles - trust me on this one - it's so damn tight - popbytes can't say enough about it! she even does a track called 'rehab' that features justin timberlake & timbaland on back up vocals - it's hot! no worries - it is nothing like amy winehouse's hit song 'rehab' - speaking of ms. amy - it was announced today that she'll be performing at the movie awards - oh my gosh we just came full circle! popbytes over & out for tonight - tomorrow starts the holiday weekend - woo hoo!
oh i hope this works ok - I'm posting this from my new blackberry from the middle of columbus circle in NYC! I love sarah silverman - so I knew this would be fun plus I heard a dog was involved which almost guarantees a post! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
ok i had one more thing to post tonight that just came to my attention...tonight was the country music awards and american idol country gal carrie underwood took the prize for 'best female vocalist of the year' - you MUST watch fellow nominee faith hill's reaction below to ms. underwood winning! oh my gosh - her reaction is simply priceless...i don't think her hunky hubby tim mcgraw would be very pleased with his wife being such an obvious sore loser!!! oh man i had to post this before i went to bed! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
