Top 25 Sexiest Movie Couples

Moviefone has a nifty list of sexiest movie couples. Go here to see the whole list. But as you can guess, #13 is my favorite!
"Moviefone" writes -
#13 Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhall - "Brokeback Mountain" It may not be the most conventional love story -- but it's certainly one of the steamiest, with two of Hollywood's hottest actors boldly giving themselves over for their craft. The forbidden love tale also produced the unforgettably heartbreaking confession, "I wish I could quit you."

Day in Pictures

Not sure if it's a slow news day or if I'm having a Tokio Hotel hangover. Regardless here's a few snaps that caught my eye this morning.


I think this is a baby jaguar. He seems to be saying "My, you have a pretty jugular..."

Ohhh...I'm a sucker for the NASA photos from space. This one over Chile yesterday and the smoke lingering from a recent volcano... Kewl..
Nothing says love like tagging an Iraqi tank with your kid's name. Dumbass!
Where in the world is Waldo Singh in this picture?

Tokio Hotel - "Scream" CD

I ran out at lunch and bought the new English language CD. I have it in my hot little hand. And it comes with a nifty extra DVD [if you buy it at that horrible blue box store of death!].

"Monsoon" is still the best track. Sampe the tracks for yourself here. Rock on!

Bernadette Peters & Kramer

God love Bernadette and her love of dogs and life-long advocacy for them. But something about this photo with her pooch that's oddly "not right". Maybe if she weren't lying down showing her alabaster Nicole Kidman-esque skin...

Michael Jackson Impersonator

It's not often you see an Indian guy doing a Michael Jackson impersonation. Nor would I ever really care. But stick with it, it gets pretty damn funny. Well, if not a laugh, you'll get a smirk, like I did.



Oh and yes, that is Ant and Dec [Robbie Williams' mates] hosting the Brit show, "Britain's Got Talent" or some such shit. Does Simon ever rest?

Modern Masters - Sac Ballet

Had a great afternoon yesterday at the ballet for their "Modern Masters" performance. (Read the "Sacramento Bee's" glowing review here) It was truly breathtaking and inspiring. The dancers danced many forms to all kinds of wild, punked-out music. Philip Glass is always a trip.

It was Jack Hansen who brought the house down. It was his final stage performance after 8 years as principal dancer. He's artistic, fluid, and a true artist. He'll be missed.
But my new muse is Ilana Goldman. She is tall, strong, and completely elegant. I adore when she is dancing and can't keep my eyes off of her.

Finally, Stefan Calka, who I think takes up where Jack leaves off. He's energetic, yet sophisticated and is at ease doing all those difficult lifts. I can't wait to see him progress!

Bacharach, Germany

Sorry made-up Cinco de Mayo, but I just left my office and went here in my head. Ahh...looks the vineyards...I can taste the strudel now!




Tokio Hotel - The Invasion Begins

The CD is set to drop this Tuesday here in the U.S. I'll have to get it to see how it compares w/ their German language CD that I really like. Check out this live clip from Feb 15 at the Roxy in Hollywood.

"Rolling Stone" - Twin brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz formed Tokio Hotel in Germany seven years ago, and as young teens the group rocketed to international stardom, selling out stadiums across Europe. The band — Bill on vocals and Tom on guitar, drummer Gustav Schaefer and bassist Georg Listing — will make its U.S. debut with their first English-language album, Scream, a selection of their angsty German hits translated into English.
