Hollywood's bad girl Lindsay Lohan is coming out with another album called Spirit In The Dark. Umm, she ain't lying! If anyone's spirit is in the dark it's Lindsay's. I do be thinking she looks real cute on her cover, though. The 'lil witch's album comes out November 4, 2008. Go vote instead!
Super actress Dakota Fanning took time out of making movies to just be normal. Cheering at a football game for her school The Campbell Hall Episcopal School in LA.
I always wanted to be a cheerleader. Damn it! You should always follow your dreams people!
AIG, which received over $120 billion as bailout, was under fire for hosting a $400,000 retreat at the St. Regis in late September and has gone and shoved its ass right in our faces again. After saying how sorry they were for spending so much AND after consider using more of that bailout money to take out "ads" explaining their point of view, they are still hosting another event; an "educational" retreat for about 200 at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, CA. Taxpayers paid for that so I'm expecting my invite soon. Click on the title for more.
OUR man Robert Pattinson and his "Twilight" boys will be in a spread for VMAN's next issue, out October 21st. They can all bite my neck. At the same time. Hehe.
Nick Nolte's Malibu home went up in flames early yesterday faster then a meth lab on sunny day. Los Angeles Fire department came out to the actor's mansion around 11:34AM. The home is believed to have suffered around $1.5 million in damages. Allegedly crazy didn't know that alcohol and fire are a deadly mix.

THE SARAH PALIN CHRONICLES: FUN TIMES WITH AN ALASKAN GOVERNOR, REPUBLICAN VP NOMINEE, AND MOTHER; BELIEFS, THOUGHTS, AND MUSINGS
by pierre baltadano
I knowwe've posted several of Sarah Palin's interviews and clips of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, but she is just too good. Can't wait for the VP debate tonight on CNN. The following clips will be several, but they will offer insight into the deep, cavernous, and insightful mind of this woman.

SELENA GOMEZ... ONE OUTFIT, TWO DIFFERENT MORNING SHOWS
Ouch! Who lied to Selena and told her this would be ok? Seriously it takes ten to fifteen minutes to change to your next outfit. She could have taken the pins out of her hair, changed her blouse, and, just like magic, a whole new outfit. Tis, tis my little witch.
Ok, so as I'm writing this post my friend Rob Williams AIM's me and I ask him about it and he says, "I think this makes her seem normal. Like a librarian."
Paul Newman, the Academy Award-winning actor and legend with those bright blue eyes, heart of gold, and foods that help others, has passed away after a battle with cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. Rest in peace Paul Newman.
This is very true as of late. It turns out having an assistant is working out well for me. I told Jonathan, "Where I go you go." He took this a little to literally on the red carpet to the grand opening of HLNRstore on Robertson Blvd.
As I was leaving for the Blender party, this "informative" commercial, paid for by those corn peeps, literally stopped me in my tracks. Those mother f'ers full on put out this crap. Lies as big as those obese children drinking all those cheap drinks. Yes, I'm pouring on the Hate-orade. And yes, Gatorade also has HFCS.
So it's going around that MKO is steppin out on her man Nate Lowman with Superbad's Jonah Hill. It seems like that might be too much for MK to handle but hey, the girl's gotta eat right? You have your cake and eat those muffins too MK.
The best part for Mary-Katy dating Jonah Hill is she has and endless amount of flannel shirt dresses... Thanks Jonah!
HOT DAD GAVIN ROSSDALE IS BRINGING HOME A BABY BOY
Gwen Stefani gave birth to baby boy Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale at 12:46pm today. He weighed 8 1/2 lbs. Gwen and Gavin already have a two- year old son Kingston. Congratulations to this beautiful family!!! I do have to say the name is kind of crazy. Can you imagine this poor kid in school, while everyone is done with their test little Zuma will still be writing out his name. Too much.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE FOR, WELL, FOR JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
I want my own label! Justin Timberlake was shot for his clothing label William Rast. It's a pretty smart move for his label cause 'lil child can just advance its image himself. For free too! Oh, and he's looking alright don't ya think?
Did anyone catch NBC's Bob Costas' interview with President Bush? During the Olympics?! I thought it was amazing and what was good is that I felt that it wasn't trying to push Bush into a corner or asking him questions to create headlines. I felt that Costas was just asking out of pure journalistic intrigue and pursuit for justification and clarification for the rhetoric created by the current Administration. Sorry if politics feels a little off but it was a gem for me to find this while leisurely watching the Beijing Games.
Now, the vids keep getting removed from YouTube so it's been tough getting one to stick, (hmm), but above is one that I've seen sticking the longest.
Jesse Marco is just 21 years old, but this native New Yorker, who has already established himself on the nightlife scene for his fast hands and keen ear, has now successfully crossed over into the fashion world.
Still a student at NYU, Jesse spins regularly at a number of boldfaced nightspots in the city (including Stam and Lily favorite 1Oak.) Oh, and did we mention that he counts Jay-Z and Kanye West, as well as fashion royalty Marc Jacobs and Kate Moss amongst his audience members?
Recently, in addition to spinning many venues like Rock the Vote's official Lollapalooza after-parties at the Hard Rock Hotel, a French Connection party, a post-CFDA awards bash hosted by IMG at Goldbar, and the Calvin Klein “Secret Obsession” Fragrance launch (that never saw the light of day), Jesse has also just signed a modeling contract.
In his first week with his agency, he shot a campaign for London (and soon-to-be New York) giant Topshop, and has also worked with fashion favorite Terry Richardson on a Uniqlo campaign.
But, as Mark Ronson once said, it’s Jesse’s prowess in the DJ booth that merits the most praise. “Jesse’s adept technically and knowledgeable about umpteen genres of music,” the Grammy-award winning producer told Page Six Magazine. And, assuredly, his recent line-up of gigs would indicate that the city’s tastemakers have taken notice of this fresh, young talent and the energy he creates.
You can check Jesse out at www.myspace.com/thedjjm, and of course, keep an eye out for him in TopMan when it opens on Broadway!
BREAKING NEWS: TILA HAS "TERRETS"... AND IN OTHER NEWS, SHE IS ALSO A JACKASS
by pierre baltadano
I think Tila was educated by Tyrone Biggums (see vid below) cause pour 'lil girl has gone and announced that her new album will be called I Have Terrets. She recently hit up her MySpace and announced that she would be releasing this gem of an album to help us "hot bitches get up...shake [our] asses and pop that booty!!!!," which I am all about. It helps the blood flow. Thanks Tila! Oh, and I think she MEANT to say Tourette's.
So its been forever since I've seen my gay BFF Ferras. Its hard not to spread yourself thin when your two best friends are major label recording artist that both happen to be on Capitol records. So I was out of my mind excited to hear that Katy and I's paths would be crossing with Ferras in Chicago. My lil Cholita Ferras was in Chi town to perform at LOLLAPALOOZA along side of Kayne West, MGMT, Uffie, The Ting Tings and such as and such as.
So this past weekend I went with my new fast friends Erin Lucas, Marissa Rubenstein and my old fast friend Mia Moretti to the Hamptons to meet up with the ultra fabulous super fashion icon Betsey Johnson. B.J. was showing off her 2008 eyewear to the Hamptons A-ish list-ish. The fashionista has a message for our 'lil cholita Katy Perry. Enjooooooy!
Katy P loved her gift Betsey. She whored it that night at her perfomance at Warped Tour in Englishtown, New Jersey
So I'm reading an article on my BFF Ferras that my other BFF Katy Perry showed me on GayWired. So I'm reading and then I notice this ad for Saab. The ad reads, "Because not all roads are straight," and right below that it reads, "Ride one today." That reminds me of ads BMW had all over West Hollywood not too long ago that read, "Hard top. Firm bottom. It's so L.A."
Ain't this some shit. So our good friend and awesome DJ Mia Morretti (aka DJ Group E) was minding her own damn business while walking down the streets of NY when out of nowhere, this brick/rock thing knocks her in the middle of her head mid-text. She's bleeding of course but manages to walk over to her friend's bar to get cleaned up. They called the paramedics but crazy-wonderful girl that Mia is, she refuses to go so she walks home after they clean it up! Well, while taking a second look in the mirror, she decides that the scarring would be pretty crazy so she ends up WALKING to the hospital to get it looked at. Well, THREE staples later and with no pain meds, the girl is iChating with me and telling me all about it. The whole thing is straight out of a movie. Hero that girl is. Hero.
That Christian Bale is a busy boy. First up is The Dark Night which hits theatres this week, which I will most definitely catch in IMAX style, followed by the Terminator Salvation in Summer 2009 and two other films by the end of 2009. Check out the teaser trailer for Terminator Salvation featuring Bale as John Connorhere.
Ever since I heard about this video I've been curious about how it would look. Radiohead, ever the innovators, chose to create this music camera-free "video" using lasers and manipulatable data. Yes, YOU can manipulate it! (I don't want to kill it but it's pretty simple). Check the vid below and manipulate here.
So I've been catching these video blogs called Pot Psychology put on by Tracie Egan, a.k.a. Slut Machine, at that great clap-havin' blog Jezebel. I started tuning in around the second or third episode in mid-December-ish and I have loved her and her friend Rich's great advice on viewer questions such as: "My Roomate is Bulimic. What Should I Do?" and, "Does the Horrific Taste of Vagina Become Less Vomitous as I Get Used to Oral?" and, "I Have 3 Tiny Bumps the Size of a Pinhead in a Row at the Base of My Dick. What Are These?: P.S. Is It Bad/Weird to Hookup With People You Meet on the Internet for Sex?" They are heroes.
Really ABC Family? "The Secret Life Of The American Teenager?" Really? How about, "The secret life of a creator of a show with a bad title." The only great thing about this show is that Molly Ringwald has a job. I think it also stars Kim Kardashian. It's the Jaime Lynn Spears story! Loves ABC family! "Are you having a baby?" Best thing I heard all day.
Will Smith proves he may be Hollywood's superhero. His new flick, Hancock brought in $66 million this past weekend knocking out the competition. You're welcome!
His last name may be Long but his relationship with Drew was short. I guess in Hollywood time it was a good run. The rumor I started was that they broke up after Justin Long caught Drew using a PC. AAAAAAAAAW! He Ike and Tina'd her so quickly. Just kidding. A rep for Drew Barrymore's told US Weekly that they are still friends. The irony of this is that Drew and Justin are both starring in He's Just Not That Into You. Huh, a little early for a publicity stunt - movie's not due 'til February 2009.
Ambiguous Pete Wentz is on the cover of August 2008 Out Magazine. I know Pete through friends, I've read about Pete and his band Fall Out Boy, but I really feel like this article in particular shows a more vulnerable side of this sensitive music mogul. Pete Wentz shares with Out about being teased in school and how the name calling and rumors never seems to stop into adult hood and now marriage. Pete on being "Out"-
“There’s part of me that’s like, Fuck you, I do what I want.”
“Homophobia is the last acceptable hatred.”
"“Our culture bombards us with this idea that you’re not that, and if you are that, there’s something wrong with you, and then we’re going to call you that, and then it’s an insult.”

I'm in my home town of Santa Barbara for a bit and it's been a crazy homecoming. Santa Barbara, along with other counties in California, is fighting a major fire that is only minimally contained, 5% last I checked. Wednesday and Thursday nights were met with power outages in the northern regions, while at least 1,000 evacuations have taken place. I have had friends lose their homes in past fires and this one is just as unnerving. The Governor has issued a State of Emergency and the Gap Fire has become the priority fire danger in the state. Let's hope for the best resolution.
Kobe Bryant arrived at UNDFTD's Santa Monica location in a DeLorean for the release of Nike's Back to the Future inspired Hyperdunks. The first 10 people in line got to meet the Kobe and get an autograph. Some of those crazies actually waited more than 24 hours. It's a sweet shoe but I'd rather not wait in line and since some have already showed up on ebay for $2,000.00, I'm pretty much SOL (unless some angel out there wants to get me a pair in size 9.5). Here are more pics.
i previously posted a video of a presentation for yves saint laurent. here is a new video released that was presented for the YSL Spring/Summer 09 collection at Paris men's fashion and featuring actor jack huston. like the last YSL vid, this is a different approach to presenting a line. check it.
During Amy's soundcheck for her performance at Glastonbury Music Festival, on Saturday evening Amy sang into the microphone, "At least I’m not opening for a cock like Kanye” To hear the audio click here
Kanye's response, "This just in... Amy Whinehouse hates me!! Now I've really made it!!! LOL!!!"
VITAMIN WATER HAS CARRIE UNDERWOOD HORSING AROUNG...
American Idol winner Carrie Underwood has teamed up with Vitamin Water. I want my own Vitamin Water called Markusisthedrug Fruit Splash Elixir - It'll be a fruity hangover elixir and pick-me up.
No, not in the way we would all like too. Justin Timberlake ads as Givenchy's newest fragrance spokesmodel for "Play" have been released. Ok I'll "Play" all day long.
Our future President, Senator Barack Obama, is on the cover of Rolling Stone. Even though they gave Katy Perry a bad review I'm thinking you might want to go out and buy this issue that comes out July 10th, 2008. You know it's one of those collector's issues. You're welcome.
Jude Law is now the face of Dior Homme Sport. Jude just wrapped shooting the commercial for Dior in the Bahamas. I think Jude Law is a perfect choice for Dior. I'm thinking short shorts.
Rumor has it that hottie Colin Owens is the new boy of the MTV reality show The Hills. I think he's worth keeping a eye on. Plus, Lauren and Audrina need something hot to look at - the boys on the show are so fugly and boring. You're welcome.
Buzz around the blogging cooler is that Gwyneth is with child. Mrs. Chris Martin was quoted in Harper's Bazaar magazine saying “I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it." I wonder what annoying name she can come up with next; I say name the baby Pie. So she could yell, "Apple Pie get over her right now" or "Apple Pie, not before dinner." Hahahaha.
Jacob the Jeweler is blinging his ass all the way to jail. According to TMZ, this baller jewlery maker is on his way to two and half years in prision for lying and laundering $270 million in drug profits. See, that's what happens when you get all greedy. It's not cute. JJ created jewelery for some of the most wealthy and influentual people in the world, including P Diddy. I wonder how this is is going to affect his business?
Armani has David Beckham working out in his underwear. Please don't try this at home unless you are David Beckham. Actually, this might be the look Katy and I go for on Warped Tour because it's so freakin hot! In the shweaty balls kind of way. Hmm...underwear and balls...
MySpace has put Katy Perry on the front page of Myspace Celebrity. My girl is popping up everywhere. Also, Perez texted Katy P last night to inform her that she has two songs in iTunes Top 100 downloads: I Kissed A Girl is #1 and Hot And Cold is #33. WOW! Talk about getting on top. GOGOGO!
Well now you can. A shoe company called 333 has come out with a line of shoes called the Hugh that is fit for the Playboy daddy himself. Wanna buy the Hugh click here.
As green-house gas emissions continue to climb and polar ice continues to melt, summer on Earth just might turn out to be a perpetual affair. As the temperatures rise, a new wardrobe is in order, as evident in the collective consciousness of the creative crew. Last year fashion designers sent out their adonis model troops marching clad in short-shorts, previewing looks for this spring and summer - it looks like our future will not only be a hot one, but one with shorter hemlines. For now, the look is not for the thigh-shy, but adaptation will occur if the need arises.
Well, well, well. A shot out to the gays for her gay. I found this interview Katy Perry did for HX Magazine with Brandon Voss in the Pride issue.
"I’ll walk into a party with Markus and we’ll say, “If he’s your team, you can have him; if he’s on my team, I’m going to take him.” At the end of the night, someone ends up with him."
What are you doing Katy? I'm not a slut. Truth be told I haven't had a date in over a year. Yes, I've had a few drunken indiscretions but when I mean a few, I mean a few. OMG what a bitch, I'm trying to get married. And you know what they say, no ones going to buy the whole freakin ice cream truck when your handing out the popsicles for free.

ITS NICE TO WISH FOR THINGS TO WISH TO WANT... AGAIN, AGAIN
Things I had to have on Warped Tour '08 are: My laptop (MacBook Pro) , Supra Shoes, Kr3w skull t-shirts, a book (The Beautiful Fall), Shampoo (Nick Chavez), and something I cannot live without is my Black Berry. Oh and my flip camera. You're so most definitely welcome.
Is the feeling I had after meeting Anne-Marie Duff, wife of James McAvoy. She was at the after-party for her husband's LA premiere of Wanted that I went to with my mischevious friend Andrew Garfield who twisted my arm to go to this festive party. Just kidding, I will go to the opening of an envelope. EEk. Whatever I met this wonderfully sparkly and masterful actress. Click here to see a trailer of The Waiting Room.
Fun fact: James McAcoy "wanted," he he, and auditioned for the part in Lions For Lambs that Andrew Garfield snagged.
Where they ever gone? I remember these and those Reebok Pumps and the L.A. Gear shoes. Wow, that goes way back. And those commercials! BK the shoes that are hot the shoes that are wow.
Comcast has been busy putting all those cable company monopoly monies to amazing use. Check out their new beyond-HD that is made up of 10-million pixels and cost the $22 million to produce from design through installation. It was built by a company called Barco for Comcast's new Philadelphia headquarters. I would love to play some video games on that bad boy (minus the ridiculous gaps created by the doorways) and it would make an insane computer monitor. So who will be the next contender in this piss contest?
So I'm at Enterprise rent a car on Ivar and Yucca in Hollywood returning my car because I'm on Warp. So the guy at the desk is on the phone and is like can you tell miss Fonda we've been to the house twice and we are getting ready to have a tow company confiscate it. Hahaha. Sometimes celebrities are such assholes about that type of stuff. GIVE BACK THE CAR! Give it girl, giveit, giveit girl!
Chris Crocker is letting everyone one know that he doesn't want a pat on the back. He wants a pat in the sack. He doesn't want friends that don't want to fu** him. I'm picking up what he's laying down. Hahaha. Loud and clear Chrissy!
So for all you Katy Perry I Kissed A Girl and I liked it fans. I am going to reveal the girl that Katy can't help but kiss. Her name is Shannon Woodward and she's Katys BFF. Trust me, she's very kissable but it was all very innocent you perverts. Just ask her super actor boyfriend Andrew Garfield. You're Welcome...
So I write about Katy Perry and well it has been a Katy P packed week. It started off with stylist Johnny Wujek and I teaming up again to style Katy Perry's record release party. That meant styling Katy, Perez Hilton, four band members, two models, Katy's super assistant and friend Susanna Sansone, Pierre Baltadano, and Andrew Garfield. So you can say we had our hands full. For Katy we had three changes: Arrival, Performance, and after party. Her arrival we did a Mermaid-esque gypsy look with a pink, sequined costume top and a tight green high wasted skirt by Elsie Katz paired with green, sequined shoes by Mui Mui. For Perez Hilton, we did a Harold Zedler ring master inspration. We filmed Perez's fitting for Myspace Fashion's The Fit so look out for that. Katy 2nd look was an ice cream dress by Jeremy Scott. Pink shoes by converse.
Katy's 3rd and final look was a yellow music note dress by Jeremy Scott and black and white bleeding shoes by Sergio Rossi
I was a Giant tomato, was meant to be a cherry, looked more like an apple. Shoes by Supra... You're welcome!
What a smart little witch. Emma Watson just scored a $3 million dollar contract with Chanel, replacing Keira Knightley according to the British Daily Mail. I never really think of Emma Watson in fashion but then I saw how hot she looked in Burberry.
OF COURSE this isn't the best picture she's ever taken...ass!. It's all about picking and choosing to support an argument and that is what he is doing with 'lil gurl. I'm not sure why Perez picks on Rumer Willis so much, but I hope he has had a change of heart about her. Rumer is beautiful and I love her fashions. I bumped into Rumer that night; she was at the opening of the Beckley Boutique in West Hollywood on Thursday. Amy Smart is really nice!
So Shannon Woodward and I hit up a P.S. Arts event on Thursday. P.S. Arts is a great charity that is restoring the arts to public education. I'm trying to help the kids one vodka-soda at a time. Ok, Ok, 2 or 3 at a time. Hey! Don't judge me! It's for the kids.
I'm so turned on by the cover of GQ UK with Charlize Theron. I have a Charlize story. When I was in film school a few years back I was eating at 101 Coffee Shop with a bunch of buddies from school discussing our next project. Then we noticed the waiters pushing all the tables together. First in walks an older woman that sat right across from us and then took notice of our small group and asked what we were doing. We said we were film students working on a film. She says, "My daughter was in a film that premiers tonight, we're all meeting here to eat". Few moments later, in walks Charlize Theron and her movie that premiered that night was Monsterwhich she won an Oscar for. I peed my pants a little that night. A little was for her, a little for Stuart Townsend. Oops, too dirty?
Zooey Deschanel isn't my favorite actress so it always suprises me when I see her working as an actress. How does one go from TNT's Tin Man to starring in M.Night Shyamalan's The Happening. So I guess it is fitting to have Zooey on the cover of Lucky Magazine's July 2008 issue. Your welcome!
No mean girls allowed at this party. The Beautiful people made their way out to Cabo Cantina on sunset for actor Jonathan Bennett's birthday. It was like a Hollywood fiesta. With attendees such as Rumer Willis to big screen actors like Andrew Garfield who was getting kissy face with girlfriend Shannon Woodward. I hear Jonathan got a special birthday phone call from Josh Groban. You're welcome!
Mark Wahlberg is being a total D-bag to the Beckhams. Rumor has it that it's because the couple denied a threesome with the ex- rapper. With good reason because I hear that Mr. Wahlberg is quite the man whore.
Mark tells the Daily Mail-“That fucker lives down the road from me, man! He has to go back to the UK, because he has the paparazzi all over my house. The two of them have paparazzi everywhere,” the douche continues on with, “I was in the UK for the last week and they don’t want him back there. They said, ‘Keep him over there!’”
