Random Photos Part One
You know the happiest person that Carmelo Anthony was traded to New York is his wife, La La who is filming her reality show.
An interesting triumvirate. Lourdes, Madonna and Kelly Osbourne.
Meanwhile, Madonna wannabe, Lady GaGa tries to claw her way out of a car in Paris.
Michael Fassbender on the set of Shame.
Naomi Judd appears to be waiting for a gift, or has an imaginary cake.
I don't know who Tran Anh Hung or Rinko Kikuchi are, but they are starring in a film called Norwegian Wood. Is it Scandinavian porn?
I get so used to seeing Peter Dinklage during the holidays that afterwards, I feel empty and alone. Maybe some syrup will help.
A first time appearance for Reeve Carney.
Long time no see Scott Wolf. Looking sharp Scott.
Zac Efron with his new toned body.

I think Lourdes is such a cutie. She seems fairly well-adjusted -- or, at least, as well-adjusted as you can be if your mother is an internationally-recognized megastar.
I'm guessing that Norwegian Wood is an upcoming adaptation of the Murakami novel. ;-)
who the fuck is LaLa, and why does she have a show?
I am so SICK of this Reality Genre. I long for the days when my biggest complaint about tv was everyone naming their sitcom after themselves.
Yummy to the Scott Wolf/Zac Efron pics!
Agree parissucksliterally. Apparently being the wife of a basketball player I've never heard of qualifies a person for her own show now? Crazy times, I tell ya.
Rinko Kikuchi - from movie Babel. I think she was nominated for several awards for it, too.
No, trust me. Carmelo's wife is not the happiest. She is way behind the thousands of fans here in Denver.
Oh, that's who Rinko is! Still, I can't imagine Murakami on screen, so much internal stuff in NW.
Michael Fassbender should really think about changing his name to Michael Bassfender.
Norwegian Wood is also the name of a Beatles song. Just thought I'd throw that out there. ;)
Rinko was nominated for an Academy Award.
Oh Man Norwegian Wood will always be that Beatles song...love it...
I see Peter Dinklage walking his dog often in Greenwich Village...He is really nice, friendly..and the dog is beautiful...
Has anyone ever seen a camera crew following people around? How obnoxious. I can imagine they create quite the stir and do they constantly bump into people and things while carrying around cameras and booms? Crazy stuff.
I don't know if any of you got to see The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow? I personally thought it was wickedly brilliantly funny, but some didn't think so. Anyway, she was filiming her reality show and her and her camera crew ran into another person filiming a reality show and they couldn't get into the place because there were too many people and there was a big fight between the competing camera crews. It was hysterical! Pretty soon, every person on the planet will be followed by a camera crew. Who will be watching???
My husband is a big basketball fan and he kept asking me if I had heard of Carmello's wife - he was convinced her name was Coco, and that she alredy had a show, and that I somehow should know because I read gossip blogs. Now I know who she is...
Where can I get my own personal Zac Effron by the way? He is absolutely dreamy...yes...I actually said dreamy...sigh!!!
@Ice Angel: That show was really funny! Valerie Cherish was so clueless through the whole thing I felt bad for her, but I guess it turned out well. A look at how the sitcom biz works in Hollywood, for sure.
@msgirl: I completely agree about the book being made into a movie!! But, I'm sure it will be exciting -maybe better this than Hard Boiled Wonderland??
Too right, Enty, Lady Gaga is a Madonna wannabe. All she does is recycle things Madonna did 20-odd years ago, without the personality or charisma that was originally there. I think it's sad that people think this idiot is revolutionary or something when she's just a clever clone in a washed-up industry. She's the female US version of Robbie Williams, a man with not an ounce of originality or talent who has had incredible success by ripping off people who are infinitely more talented than he is.
Never was a big fan of Scott Wolf, but I love him in V. I hope it gets picked up for another season.
I hope Madonna is still being a parent to Lourdes and not trying to be a friend/peer. That's usually disastrous.
Scott Wolf looks great!
Keep in mind, DubGuy, that Gaga actually writes her own songs, plays instruments and has an excellent voice, even if you don't think her tunes are terribly revolutionary.
Madonna's only talent was marketing herself.
@IceAngel
LOVED The Comeback, the hubby and I thought it was hilarious!
"I did NOT need to see that!" LOL
OT, kinda, but I heard a Madonna song on the radio the other day, and I had to turn it up so I could listen to her voice closely...I have never been a huge fan, so I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, but it sounded NOTHING like the voice on some of her more recent stuff. All I kept thinking was "MV, MV, MV..."
Madonna as MV ... I think that was a guess as well, but this person is supposedly an uberbiotch. Would that be Madonna? Not sure. I also never thought she was a "singer" but more of a performer. You didn't go to her concerts expecting her (or Britney) to sing live.
Zac Efron has got to be the most perfectly formed person. I normally don't get tongue-tied around "celebs" but I would be a blabbering fool in his presence.
Oh yeah, and Lady Gaga. I really don't get her appeal. I guess that she is the spokesperson for accepting who you are even if you're a pot-smoking freak. I give her credit that she sings live all the time, but her songs aren't all that. That latest song "Born this Way" sucks and was so overhyped.
My son looks an awful lot like Efron.

RocketQueen, if Gaga's so darn talented why does she rely on 'marketing' to sell her music? Surely she'd still be successful if she didn't do the outrageous things she does - her talent would carry her through? She'd also receive more kudos from the general public. And, while I admit I'm a Madonna fan of long-standing, I'm not blind to her weaknesses. Her voice has never been the best, though you can tell it is her's (MV, my arse!). It's honest, and that's endearing (at least to me). She has written or co-written most of her songs and does play instruments (drums, guitar), tho' only in a rudimentary way I grant you - she's no virtuoso!
Chihuahuense (I hope I spelled that right!), I thought you were gonna say that you heard a Madonna song on the radio and turned it up to discover it was Lady Gaga! Seriously, Madonna herself has said that her voice was sped up on those early records to get the 'Minnie Mouse on helium' effect. I don't think she was too happy about it, either (just my impression). It's worth bearing in mind too that there's ~25 years between her earliest hits and more recent material (no pun intended) - who's voice hasn't changed in that time?
One more thing and I'll go: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say - it says something that Gaga, Britney, Christina, as well as most of the lesser hitmakers of the past two decades, have copied Madonna in every way - who did Madonna copy?
Thanks for the Michael Fassbender! Yum!!!
Dubguy-honestly, I don't listen to pop often enough to be able to tell the difference between gaga and madonna...I know the hits that get played everywhere, but if gaga was singing a madonna song, I might think it was a remix or something ;D
I didn't know her voice was sped up, and I agree with the fact that her voice has probably changed in 25 years, but I swear it didn't sound ANYTHING like her. BUT you sound like a superfan, and I am, well--not, so there you have it.
The "gift" that Naomi Judd is looking for is more people who believe that she really did have a fatal disease that she "cured" herself and that she had just an ounce of the talent that her first-born daughter has.
Piers Morgan was on Conan last night talking about (again) how much he despises Madonna & loves GahGA.
I had SUCH a crush on Scott Wolf back in the day. I TRIED to like V but I just can't w/ the alien related shows.
chihuahuense, are you sure it was a Madonna song you were listening to and not the new Gaga one? It's hard to tell the difference.
it was on 102.9--don't they play old, or not so new stuff mostly? At any rate, they introduced it as a Madonna song, as long as I heard it right, so 97% sure.
Zac is seriously hot....Sigh. Scott is not too bad either! : )
@DubGuy - you think Madonna DIDN'T use marketing to sell her music?? She used sex and religious imagery uh....religiously.
Gaga might write her own songs, but they are crappy. Take Alejandro for example. And people are more interested in her because of her visual appeal, which is cloned from Madonna, Bowie, Grace Jones, among others. Copied not only their looks, but Ace of Base and Madonna's songs and the lord knows what else.
She might be talented, but I don't think she's showing us this incredible gift. So I think she's the one who's very good at marketing herself. To me she's just another pop artist with nothing special going on, even though people love to think she's some sort of true artist and genius.
RocketQueen - I agree that she did, but so is Lady Gaga, who is apparently more talented. As cibele said, and I alluded to earlier, she's not exactly putting that talent out there for us all to see, is she? Yet what she is showing is that she can be shocking and outrageous and wear outlandish costumes. Wow, how very modern. When Madonna did it, it was new. But it got old (and, yes, so did she); now 'everything old is new again' seems to be Gaga's motto.
One more thing about Madonna's selling of sex/religion - she felt that those things were important issues that needed addressing (gay rights, AIDS, Catholic guilt, religious hypocrisy, etc) and, arguably, did a lot to dispel a lot of myths about both topics by creating a forum for such previously taboo subjects to be discussed. The world was very different in regards to these matters pre-1985, and I credit Madonna with at least some of the steps forward that have been taken since.
