Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
My birthday buddy and the guy who played that wizard kid who got naked in some play about horse buggery and is now being fab on Broadway. Oh, who am I kidding. Harry Potter…ahem… Daniel Radcliffe is Entertainer of the Year! JAZZ HANDS!
Entertainment Weekly announced that the adorableness of DanRad is their pick for Top Ho on the Stroll. Managing editor Jess Cagle made the announcement on GMA this morning.
More bad news for Taylor Swift. After ending a short lived romance with Jake Gyllenhaal (click HERE for end of their latte love…), news that Taylor’s magazine sales were miserable has followed.
Via WWD:
“Her April Elle cover was its worst seller of the year through October, with sales running 60,000 less than the average on the newsstand; her November cover for Glamour was the second-worst-selling for the monthly, and her July Marie Claire cover was the third-worst-selling issue for that monthly through October.”
Things could turn around. Numbers from her covers for December Allure, January Seventeen and December Entertainment Weekly could change the tides. I wouldn’t count on it. When EW announced they had named Swift their Entertainer of the Year the reception wasn’t exactly positive. (Click HERE for that cover and those details…)
Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson also flopped when it came to their covers. Lopez was the second worst seller for Elle through October, but enjoyed the title of second best seller for Allure. Likewise, Simpson was on the top selling issue for Lucky, but brought in the worst sales for Marie Claire despite her bare faced cover.

It’s the year of Taylor Swift. Entertainment Weekly has dubbed her as “Entertainer of the Year,” much to some EW commenter’s dismay. (Out of curiosity I took a peek at what their readers had to say. Most range from canceling their subscriptions to pointing out the mag should have seen her duet with Stevie Nicks before handing out the honor. Over 201 comments and counting and very few praise the choice. )
In the mag’s interview she discusses her notorious penchant for revenge via song. Taylor has penned several songs that are directed at boyfriends who hurt her feelings.
Via Popwatch:
“Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, ‘This song, which is written about her ex, so-and-so…’ And they would write about it as if it was fact. The fact is, I haven’t ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person. There’s something kind of freeing about that. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all still up in the air.”
Umm…ok…sure.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway will be naked on my coffee table just in time for Thanksgiving. The duo did a sexy spread for Entertainment Weekly to pimp the new comedy/drama ‘Love and Other Drugs.’
“Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway’s new romance, Love & Other Drugs, is arguably the sexiest movie of the year. Throughout the R-rated comedic drama (in theaters Nov. 24), they reveal nearly every inch of their enviably toned bodies. So it makes sense that their photo shoot for this week’s cover of EW would be equally steamy. In fact, the duo’s flesh-baring photo session was so sensual that we decided to put out three separate covers.”
I am torn. Typically the words Jake Gyllenhaal and nude make me want to put out the CLOSED sign and take the rest of the day off, but he is busy giving me pedo/inappropriate-ness vibes by wooing Taylor Swift. Plus, 90% of the marketing of this movie is selling cheesy sex. Usually I don’t complain, tricks gotta do what a tricks gotta do. However, SPOILER ALERT the story behind the film is actually quite sad.
I digress, never look a six pack in the mouth and say ‘no thanks.’

Costa Rican superstar Debi Nova is an internet sensation with her first single, “Drummer Boy,” from her debut album, “Luna Nueva” in stores now on Sucro/Decca! Nova has amassed an impressive body of work including six Grammy-nominated projects, a #1 single, collaborations with the likes of Black Eyed Peas and Ricky Martin, and touring the world. She has been writing and performing professionally since the age of 14 and signed her first songwriter deal at the age of 17, subsequently penning songs for Latin recording artists Belinda and RBD, Sean Paul, Mark Ronson and her own single, “One Rhythm” which reached #1 in Latin America and on the US dance charts. The forthcoming Luna Nueva, was co-produced by Surco Records founder Gustavo Santaoalla (two-time Oscar winner, multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy winner, Juanes, Café Tacvba) and Marius de Vries (five-time Grammy Award nominee, two-time BAFTA winner, Madonna, Josh Groban). Luna Nueva is an electrifying combination of irresistible Latin rhythms and potent pop smarts that showcases this vivacious artist’s considerable musical gifts – she plays piano, guitar, bass, timbales and more – as well as her rich Latina heritage.
“Drummer Boy” has made a major splash with video support from MTV PUSH, the VEVO/Colgate “Charging Up The Music” video campaign landing her at #6 on YouTube’s most viewed, ) and she is part of iTunes “Next Big Thing” promotion beginning today. “Drummer Boy” is currently in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play Chart and Entertainment Weekly states “…vivacious lead single ”Drummer Boy” pulses with the kind of slinky Latin heat that crossover-pop dreams are made of…”
Nova can also be seen on Cinemax MAX “Tour Stories” cooking with host Joel Stein. Fans can tune into “Max UNCUT” on Cinemax OnDemand for the extended version. Nova will spend the week in Miami to launch her album including appearances on Univision’s “Despierta America” and “Tu Desayuno Alegre.”
For more information, please visit Debi’s Official Website. You can also grab her music at iTunes. Click HERE to shop.
People magazine needs to take note. This is what hot looks like.
The magazine recently named Chace Crawford as the hottest man-child on the market (click here to read about that blasphemy). After many exclaimed WTF!?!, Entertainment Weekly has swooped in to rectify all that had become wrong in this world. Yes, I know Ryan Reynolds is married to that walking set of boobs, Scarlett Johansson, but my point here is that Reynolds would not be fighting you for the last highlighting cap at Sally’s Beauty Supply. (Thanks for pointing that out Michael!)

Phew! All “Twilight” fans and Madonna haters can breathe a big sigh of relief. I haven’t been able to sleep since the Dame posted the story about the possibility of Madonna taking on a role in the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon”, but now I can rest easy-she is out!
Despite the extensive rumors circulating the internet that Madonna wanted a part in the film and was using her manager and “New Moon” producer, Guy Oseary to get one, a source close to Summit Entertainment (exactly how does someone become a “source”, I wonder?) has set the record straight to Entertainment Weekly.
Via EW.com:
“Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the movie series, has no plans to cast the pop star and sometime actor in “New Moon”. However, because Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, is a producer on the project, there is some talk of her providing songs for the sequel.”
Personally, I don’t want her or her 4-foot vagina anywhere near the film. I can already envision some grainy music video she’ll release starring her and a greased-up Robert Pattison. Wait, I think that was just my dream last night.
Not to worry about that either. The “source” also stated that talks to have Madonna on the soundtrack are still in the “…that’d be cool” stage. Apparently this “source” and I have very different definitions of the word cool. You know what I think is cool? Not having to see that old hag in “New Moon”. That’s what’s cool.
Calling all Twi-hards! I am sure all you “Twilight” fans are well aware that Little, Brown and Co. are releasing Catherine Hardwick’s “Twilight: A Director’s Notebook” on March 17, just four short days away from the release of the film on DVD.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, the good people at Entertainment Weekly have been nice enough to put our favorite movie vampire (and my personal love slave) Robert Pattinson on next week’s cover. Wait! Before your panties catch fire, I must warn you that Kristen Stewart is also on the cover…and the picture is old…and Sparklepants is fully dressed. Buyers beware.
However, the publisher of the “Director’s Notebook” was nice enough to release two pages from the book to here via Entertainment Weekly.
I must admit, it looks pretty cool. I am a sucker for anything “Twilight” related, not to mention anything Robert Pattinson related. This inevitably means I will be hitting up my local bookstore instead of my local bar on St. Patrick’s Day this year. Is this what it’s come to? Some people need 12 steps to cure their drinking problem; I apparently need only the promise of unseen pictures of Robert Pattinson. The man is a saint.
