good morning & happy friday! here's actor billy zane out shopping yesterday for sunglasses - i've always found him to be extremely sexy but also a drop on the creepy side - he has done a ton of work but is probably best known for his role in titanic where he played kate winslet's evil hubby to be 'caledon hockley' (his first movie was 1985's back to the future) at age 42 he still looks really good (yes i'll admit to having a thing for shaved heads) although mr. zane could use a stylist - his outfit is a total bore (khakis are the worst pants ever - especially when there's pleats involved!) maybe his fiancée model turned actress kelly brook can help him out? popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening! don't you love it when an actor shows up on the red carpet not looking like themselves? like when cutie ryan gosling packed on a few extra pounds not too long ago - well yesterday robert downey jr was at the hollywood premiere of fred claus (which looks like the worst movie imaginable - totally not my type of movie at all) and he certainly looked a little different with his dirty blond hair along with a few extra pounds - at first i couldn't tell who it was and then i was all oh my gosh - he looks different! i'm sure he changed his look up a bit for a new movie role - i believe he's filming tropic thunder directed by ben stiller (the film that owen wilson dropped out of) robert downey jr. for sure has had his fair share of issues & drama (he was in rehab back when britney & lindsay were in grade school) but he always managed to bounce back and he truly is one of our finest actors! (i'm assuming the boy next to him is his son - you can see the resemblance easily)
yesterday's premiere also was a nightmare for hollywood blvd which was partially blocked off causing the usual traffic fun - not good times! as per usual i can't believe monday is almost here - the weekends are such a tease! (i did manage to get in a lot of time playing guitar hero III which is insanely fun & addictive but it made my fingers numb - my pal joey did warn me - she was right!) pobytes over & out for now...xxoo!
PS while shopping at the beverly center yesterday i spotted ryan cabrera with his girlfriend riley keough (elvis' granddaughter) who were at the puppy store - which is a mandatory stop for me anytime i go there - although the puppies are way overpriced - people need to go to a shelter instead but i can't help from seeing those sweet little puppy faces!
good evening everyone! you may have seen this posted on a few other blogs today but i simply love hottie jonathan rhys meyers who landed the cover of the brand new details holiday issue and i can't help myself from posting it here on popbytes! (sometimes i think it's okay to double up on hot content!) i probably love him best in match point (directed by woody allen who is probably my top director besides david lynch) but coming in a close second is jonathan's turn as 'king henry viii' in showtime's deliciously sexy & semi-historical series the tudors which will be returning for a second season next year! below are a few choice quotes mixed along with the hot cover - oh my word - he makes me melt! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
on brad pitt let's not kid ourselves—this business is about being good-looking. look, brad pitt is an incredible actor, but do you think he'd be a famous movie star if he didn't look like that? come on!
on leonardo dicaprio [leonardo dicaprio] was successful very young, was a party boy, took two years off, and then became this major hollywood player. right now i can get a $5 million film green-lit, not a $100 million film.
on being a narcissist part of being a narcissist is being terribly insecure. if i wasn't so insecure about myself, i wouldn't work as hard as i do. i am constantly seeking approval.
on staying out of the limelight you know why i stay out of the limelight? i always think there will be that time that people will find out that i'm crap at what i do. i think they will figure out i'm crap. doesn't everybody have that feeling?
good evening y'all! this recently released interview embedded below has been creating a little buzz around the net today - it's the first interview with actor owen wilson since his suicide attempt and subsequent stint in rehab - it's part of myspace's artist on artist series - he's being interviewed by director wes anderson - whose latest labor of love project the darjeeling limited happens to star mr. wilson - along with cutie pies jason schwartzman & adrien brody - which i need to maybe go see this weekend - i'm a pretty big fan of mr. anderson's work and the film does look quite interesting & colorful! right now i'm dealing with some TV drama with the tivo and the new cable box - good times as per usual on a friday night but the HD quality i'm rocking now is well worth all the hoopla! (adding to my drama the internet is down so i'm picking up somebody's wireless signal - gosh i love when that happens - when my web access is down i feel like i'm literally drowning - oh you should see me lose my mind sometime - it's a madcap hoot!) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good morning! i never thought i'd be posting the cover of AARP's magazine - which is the bi-monthly publication of the 'american association of retired people' - but they've got one of my favorite actors morgan freeman on their new nov/dec cover - plus i realized eventually we'll all have subscriptions to the magazine along with AARP member cards (senior discounts!) i can't think of one movie i didn't like that starred mr. freeman and next month he has a new film coming out called gone baby, gone which was directed by ben affleck and also stars mr. affleck's brother casey (the film is based on a book by dennis lehane who also wrote mystic river) i've embedded the trailer below - it looks like a good tight mystery & suspense film! anyways i'm thrilled today is friday - i can't wait to sleep late tomorrow! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
on being disheartened with his career in the late '70s
"i was depressed. i was doing a television show, and i hated it. so i was very upset with myself, because now i was doing something i no longer want to be doing, just for the money, and that's a bad place to be."
on growing up and currently living in mississippi
"you know, you go around the world, and you have eaten in the best restaurants and stayed in the best hotels, but here, there is peace and quiet and solitude. and the realization that this has always represented safety."
yo ladies! thankfully it's almost dream kick-off time and to get your motors set to 'relaxed while purring' mode i've got super hot actor jason statham featured on the latest issue of men's health magazine! damn...mr. statham is one fine specimen of masculinity - he totally drives me up the wall! he recently lost 17lbs with a strict workout regimen and spills the beans on how he accomplished this in the magazine! plus if your into that kind of thing there's an article that features what 1,293 women want in bed - i'm gay but i'll take a wild guess that 'dining out down below' is where it's at! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good morning! oh it's so nice to wake up to brad pitt...don't you agree?!? below i've got mr. pitt in the latest issue of V magazine (issue #49) photographed by the always cool mario testino & styled by rachel zoe (yes...that rachel zoe!) i've seen these sexy shots posted already on a few sites but damn he's totally gorgeous and i simply had to toss them up here on popbytes! plus as a bonus i mixed in the trailer for his upcoming film the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford (my what a long ass title!) which opens this coming friday (sept 21st) in select cities and also stars cutie casey affleck and the lovely mary-louise parker! the film looks great and i think i'll have to head to the movies this weekend! anyways today i'm taking half the day off from the daily grind to head over to venice beach and hang out with my pal jaime who i haven't seen in ages - i know we'll have a blast catching up! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening everybody! i had a totally busy day that started with a haircut on melrose ave (at vous - a nice small & low-key salon) i even managed to drag my ass down to pink's for a hot dog! since it was fairly early i thought the line would on the small side - which it was but i still waited about 40 minutes until i enjoyed my two hot dogs loaded with a ton of sauerkraut (one of my favorites - gosh i can eat a whole can in one sitting - i know that's gross but it's so darn good!) i then ended up heading to burbank (which was way hot - i think today was the hottest day here all summer long) to hit porto's bakery & petco (where i got few small fish to add to my tank which is still running smoothly) on my way over i spotted the poster for the upcoming george clooney film michael clayton (which also stars tilda swinton, sydney pollack & tom wilkinson) i really like the way they took him out of focus and layered text over his picture (this interesting use of text isn't something you see on a lot of posters) plus mr. clooney still looks hot (as always) even a drop blurry! the movie premiered over at the venice film festival and hits theaters on october 5th - of course i added the trailer below as well!
tomorrow i'll still be obsessively tweaking the site - there's a lot of back end stuff happening on popbytes but overall everything is looking great - i'm thrilled that i updated to the latest version of movable type last night - plus i have some other things in the works - please stay tuned! tomorrow evening i'm super excited to see beyonce in concert at staples center - i so need to put my hands up & shake my booty! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
hey hey! tonight i've got sexy as all hell actor clive owen on the cover of the new issue of details magazine (sept '07) he totally carries off moody hotness vibe perfectly (although the cover claims mr. owen isn't as moody as he looks...) he really is one of the most handsome actors around today - plus he's actually talented! he also has new movie coming out called shoot 'em up releasing september 7th! (i've also posted the trailer) kudos to mr. owen for finally quitting smoking (read what he has to say about that below) something i am sorta struggling with at the moment - it's such a dirty terrible habit but gosh i love to smoke - but before everybody jumps all over me - i know i have to quit soon! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
on his down to earth wife, sarah jane "i have to drag sarah-jane to a premiere. her ultimate present, which i bought her a few years ago, was a volkswagen caravan van. she's into arts and crafts, and hanging with the kids, and going camping. she's very unimpressed by what i do."
on his equally un-impressed daughters "the girls have very high status in my house. i'm the git in the family. every time i go away, [daughter] hannah gives me what i call her roger moore face."
on quitting smoking "i talked about it all through [my wife's] pregnancy, but i didn't do anything about it. i had smoked since i was f--king 14. i always used to say to myself, i'm going to die of lung cancer. that's the choice i'm making. and then when sarah-jane was pregnant, i couldn't think about anything else. i just had this image in my head of breathing smoke in a baby's face. you just think about it going into their little lungs. and when hannah was born, i stopped."
a gritty, fast-paced action thriller, shoot 'em up kicks into high gear with a memorable opening scene and never relents. clive owen stars as mr. smith, a mysterious loner who teams up with an unlikely ally (monica belluci) to protect a newborn baby from a determined criminal (paul giamatti) who hunts them throughout the bowels of the city.
hey hey! lately i've been totally feeling like a big ol' blog slut for showtime but right now they're rocking it! besides the upcoming 3rd season of weeds (i hope you all checked out mary-louise parker's bare ass which i posted last night) they've also got the new david duchovny show californication (premiering august 13th) something about mr. david drives me completely wild - his big nose & semi-nerdy look is way too adorable! i haven't seen the show yet - oh yes i'm on pins & needles waiting to see it - i've been pumping it up big time - i hope the show meets popbytes' high expectations! below is a new ad in support of the show - it's called how to get L.A.'d - click the thumbnail to read the whole ad (to make it readable i had to have it pop in a new window) it's quite clever & fun! along with the ad i've posted a youtube video featuring an inside look at the upcoming sexy series! popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo!
