Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Talk about unwrapping your gifts. During a Q&A to tout Tease, the upcoming Oxygen reality contest she is hosting, Dancing with the Stars alum Lisa Rinna told TVGuide.com that she is reconsidering Playboy’s invite to pose. Having previously shrugged it off, figuring she had been there, doffed that — back in 1998, when she was six months pregnant — Rinna now says that as she keeps lean and mean during the DWTS tour, pals are encouraging her to grin and bare it. "Just yesterday, my makeup artist said to me, ‘You know, you might want to rethink Playboy…,’ because my body is in pretty good shape," she shared with an embarrassed laugh. "So… maybe. We’ll see." And how.

She definitely has the body to do it. 

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broke his leg while skiing with his family Saturday morning, a spokesman said. Schwarzenegger was taken to a hospital for X-rays and was discharged with a fracture to his right femur, said Adam Mendelsohn, the governor’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications. He will have surgery to repair the bone when he returns to Los Angeles, Mendelsohn said. The governor remained at his Sun Valley home Saturday night and still planned to spend Christmas there. No one else was involved in the accident, Mendelsohn said.

When are politicians going to learn they are not meant to ski while they are in office?

OH dear. What started out as a civilised shopping trip ended with VICTORIA BECKHAM stumbling out of a hotel bar. The ex-Posh Spice was “tired and emotional” as she left London’s Claridge’s and hauled off her heels as she got in her chauffeured limo. It’s hardly surprising – Victoria and a few pals necked EIGHT bottles of Krug champagne over the afternoon and into the evening. One onlooker said: “Victoria had quite a bit to drink and was telling all her mates about her recent trip to America.” Also at Claridge’s was supermodel KATE MOSS. She and Victoria didn’t speak but Kate rushed over to say hello to SARAH FERGUSON, there with princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. Victoria was busy gossiping about her new superstar mates. The onlooker added: “Vic was going on about the size of JENNIFER LOPEZ’s bum. Victoria said it really is big when you see it in the flesh.” Mind you, anyone’s bum looks big next to Victoria’s.

That is way too funny! I kind of want to see her drunk just to see her smile!

Pleased to meat you

What can I say? I am the fucking luckiest director on the planet to have Lionsgate marketing my film. I saw the teaser poster last week and my jaw was on the ground. It’s truly one of the most beautiful posters I’ve ever seen. It actually reminded me of one of my mother’s oil paintings, but with a dash of Joel-Peter Witkin thrown in there. It’s macabre and creepy and it tells you everything about the movie without giving anything away. And this week we got approved by the MPAA. This is the teaser poster for Hostel Part II. There’s an article in the Los Angeles times about the poster today:

I know I said I’d be blogging over at MTV.com, and I swear I am, I just haven’t had a moment to write anything yet. I’ve been in the editing room every day, except for last week when I did a photo shoot with Tim Palen, who’s the co-president of marketing at Lionsgate, and the genius who did all the posters on the first Hostel and photographed the meat for Hostel Part II. We shot some really bizarre stuff which I can’t leak out yet, but at some point I will.

I am so fucking happy with how the film’s looking. A lot of people have been e-mailing me asking about the release date, and yes, it’s June 8th. It was never January 5th. I know that date got ‘announced’ but that doesn’t mean anything, it was never a reality. The plan was always to have the movie done around April/May, so June 8th is a perfect date. I’m really, really happy with how it’s cutting together and that’s all I can say.

That poster grosses me out, but it sure is effective! I can’t wait for June 8th! 

U2 singer Bono is to be knighted by the Queen in the New Year. The frontman will be honoured for his humanitarian work, which along with Bob Geldof included organising Live 8 in 2005, and his services to the music industry. The 46-year-old will receive the award at a ceremony to be conducted by British ambassador David Reddaway in Dublin. Despite receiving the honour, he will not be awarded with the title of "Sir" because he is not a British national. Previous non-British recipients include Bill Gates, Placido Domingo, Rudolf Giuliani, Steven Spielberg and Simon Wiesenthal According to U2’s official website, Bono, who has lobbied Western leaders to increase aid to developing countries and cancel Third World debt, is "very flattered" to receive the honour. Tony Blair has also sent the U2 singer a letter congratulating him on his knighthood, reports BBC News. Mr Blair wrote: "I want personally to thank you for the invaluable role you played in the run-up to the Gleneagles G8 summit. Without your personal contribution, we could not have achieved the results we did. "So thank you and I look forward to continuing to work together to maintain momentum on Africa, and ensure leaders around the world meet the promises they have made."

I did not know that if you are not a British citizen that you don’t get the Sir title, that kind of stinks.
