Happy Birthday Vin Diesel !

I remember when Vin Diesel used to work the door as a bouncer at the now defunct NYC nightclub Tunnel in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. It was like around 1996. He used to be standing at the door a lot with Jennifer Gatien (daughter of infamous nightclub owner Peter Gatien. If you don't know who Gatien is, watch Dylan McDermott's riveting portrayal of him in the biopic "Party Monster"). I used to see him working there frequently back then.

Now, Vin is a successful actor and an action hero for our generation.

And today, Vin Diesel (real name Mark Vincent) turns 40 years old
(July 18).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIN!

America Welcomes "Posh Spice": Victoria Beckham's Reality Show Was Actually Good!

I watched the entire hour of Victoria Beckham: Coming To America last night on NBC and found it to be very entertaining. Victoria continues to be very pretty (as she has been since her Spice Girls days) and fashionable. She has a comedic quality which keeps the show funny and witty. From what I saw on the show, she seems to be very devoted to her husband David and very dedicated to her family. Her three sons Cruz, Romeo and Brooklyn were not featured but spoken about frequently. Her unofficial catch phrase "That's major", was very catchy indeed!

A word of advice for Posh:

Be careful of strangers who work in coffee shops on their laptop, Victoria. Be very careful!

Welcome to the United States Victoria, David and family!

Lindsay Lohan Out Of Rehab; Vows Never To Create Another MySpace Page

La Lohan is out of rehab after a 45 day stay and she is wearing an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet device as a part of her post-rehab plan. Last week, Lohan's personal intimate e-mails to Samantha Ronson were leaked out onto the internet. This week, it is being reported that Lohan's PC was hacked into and naked pictures of her taken by her ex BF Calum Best may be surfacing soon as a result.

Now, the MySpace page Lindsay allegedly used to write the steamy e-mails to Ronson with has been updated by La Lohan herself as follows:

"I DONT HAVE A MYSPACE! my old one was deleted, and im not making another. EVER. "
public: myspace.com/lindsaylohan

In related news, Samantha Ronson (sister of DJ Mark Ronson, who currently has a music video on VH1 "Stop Me" ft. Daniel Merriweather) is suing blogger Perez Hilton (real name: Mario Lavandeira) for $20 million dollars for his slanderous accusations about her (and the infamous Lohan Memorial Day cocaine car crash in which Ronson was a passenger) on his blog.

The infamous (alleged, LOL) MySpace page of La Lohan can be found be clicking here:

Rapper Remy Ma Arrested In Connection With NYC Shooting

Rapper Remy Ma (formerly known as Remy Martin) was arrested Saturday on charges of attempted murder in a shooting outside a trendy Manhattan nightspot, police said.

The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, had been sought for questioning in the shooting of a 23-year-old woman early Saturday July 14th at 3:14am after a verbal dispute near Pizza Bar on 14th Street and Ninth Avenue on the Chelsea/West Village border near the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. She turned herself in to police on Saturday evening and was also arrested on additional charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon, the NYPD said.

Remy Ma's attorney was with the rapper as she reported to police."I ask everyone to keep an open mind," her attorney Scott Leemon said. "Things are not always as they seem." He said an arraignment would be likely be held on Sunday. A 911 call reporting gunfire led police to a woman with a gunshot wound. Three blocks away, officers discovered a luxury Cadillac Escalade SUV owned by Remy Ma; the vehicle had been involved in a single-car crash and abandoned, police said.

The victim, 23 year-old Makeda Barnes-Joseph, is in stable condition at a undisclosed medical facility in NYC. Sasha Tcherekoff, owner of the Pizza Bar, said a review of security videotape taken inside his nightspot showed the rapper and her friends having a good time before they exited. "The police have indicated to us that the altercation happened a block away," the owner said. "The security tapes determined there was no physical or verbal altercation while they were in the Pizza Bar."

Remy Ma was nominated for a Grammy as part of the Terror Squad for the 2004 summer hit song "Lean Back." She also earned the "Best Female Hip Hop" award at the 2005 BET Awards. She went on to a solo career, releasing last year's "There's Something About Remy", which featured the hit singles "Conceited" and "Feels So Good" which featured singer/songwriter Ne-Yo. She has appeared on recordings with best-selling performers including Fat Joe, Eminem and R. Kelly, according to a biography on her Web site. She has since parted ways with Terror Squad and release a diss song directed at Terror Squad's leader, rapper Fat Joe.

Horror Film "Captivity" Opens Tomorrow Friday The 13th

The horror film "Captivity", which inspired After Dark films to release controversial advertisements on billboards in Los Angeles and taxicab tops in New York City (ads which caused public outrage and were taken down and banned back in March) will finally be released to theaters tomorrow on Friday the 13th of July.

The film stars Elisha Cuthbert (House Of Wax, The Girl Next Door, 24) as a celebrity fashion model who gets abducted and tortured by a psycho stalker. The trailer states that over 850,000 people are reported missing in the United States each year, many whom are never seen again. Lions Gate and After Dark Films originally set the film's release date for May 18th before the date was pushed to July 13th.

Song Of The Day: Jesse Malin featuring Bruce Springsteen "Broken Radio"

Written by Jesse Malin about his late mother, an aspiring singer who waitressed most of her life and who died when he was only 18 years old. New York City native Jesse Malin and New Jersey legend Bruce Springsteen perform "Broken Radio" with timeless beauty.

BROKEN RADIO

I was thinking about another time still in my mind

When I used to know a little girl high on this world

Your baby loves you more than you know

Raised on rivalry and rock'n roll

Moving to the motor City soul

She lets go

On the radio

Well we never had a lot of cash

But we loved those kids

Some say that she missed the boat

But she just burned the bridge

The angels love you more than you know

Raised on robbery and rock'n roll

Moving to the Motor City soul

She takes hold

On the radio

Stomachache Sundays

And books we never read

Well I was hoping one day

We might meet again

She used to talk about astrology

She was born in June

She danced with singers and celebrities

Empty stars and the full moon

I was thinking about the universe

For what it's worth

Or the one about the Phoenix bird

That died and returned

The angels love you more than you know

Raised on robbery and rock' n roll

Moving to the Motor City soul

Moving to the Motor City soul

Sometimes I see her face

When there's no place to go

On the radio

On the radio

On the radio

Broken radio

Happy Birthday Jessica Simpson

Nicole Richie Is Pregnant

Per several media outlets, including TMZ.com, Nicole Richie is 3 months pregnant and expecting in January. This adds a dilemma to the already complicated legal issues Nicole faces in August in a Los Angeles Courtroom. She faces charges stemming from her now infamous "wrong side of the freeway" driving incident, in which she allegedly admitted to police that she smoked marijuana and took a Vicodin before getting behind the wheel.

That means when I took the above picture of Nicole at "The Late Show With David Letterman" last month, she was about 8 weeks pregnant.
