My 2 friends and I went into the city on a Monday after Justin tweeted that the music store J&R was giving out more wristbands for his CD signing the next day. We didn’t really expect to get anything because he had tweeted about it and originally you had to go on Friday and pre-order Believe. We got to J&R, and there was legit ONE person there, so we preordered Believe, got wristbands and screamed/cried/went insane. The next day we got on line at like 10:30 even though the signing was supposed to start at 2pm. The line went on FOREVER behind us and we waited for what felt like forever. When I first saw Justin as I first walked in, I almost fainted. He looked so perfect and unreal. He looked like he was glowing and kind of like a vampire but like a good vampire (not one that would kill your family). I saw Kenny and he looked like he’d rather be sleeping lol the usual. I also saw Mike Lerner and Ryan Good . Omg it was so amazing it was so much better than the 1D signing that I went to in March because the security was so nice and you could take a pic with Justin if you were quick and everyone got a little bit of time to talk to him and he is so incredibly nice and FLAWLESS . OMG then we found out that my dad was able to get us into “BieberLive” at MTV (which if you live under a rock was the JB special on MTV) My dad knows people at MTV and we thought we had to be 18 but turns out we were able to get in! We were in the audience and on TV. He sang a song and his voice was perfection. During a commercial I was like, “Justin what’s in your back pocket, can I have it!?!?” talking about the little gold rag/handkerchief thing sticking out of his back pocket (He has a lot of them that match his other outfits and stuff ) Everyone laughed and he was like, “No!!!” in this really funny, cute voice that was like fake-hurt. He was wearing this diamond whistle necklace and my friend goes (during a commercial) “I like your necklace!!” and he turns around and goes, “I like YOU.” We also all got free copies of Believe and free bottles of his new perfume Girlfriend. He was so sweet he said, “Wait before I go I want to take a picture with every section of the room” so he took one and MY SECTION WAS THE ONLY ONE MTV TWEETED AND HE RETWEETED IT! At one point during his performance of “Die in Your Arms,” he stopped singing and let us sing. We were so horrible and off key that he laughed and then started singing again. He was just amazing, sweet, caring and funny. I’ve waited two years for this to happen and OMG, it was the best day of my life. -Sydney @wuddupbieber Continued here: My 2 friends and I went into the city on a Monday after Justin…

Ashley Greene is featured in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan , and let’s just get this out of the way: the spread is nowhere near as hot as the photos of this Twilight Saga star in Esquire . But few things in life are. The actress still manages to show off some serious cleavage on the cover, as you can sit back and ogle here: Oh, Greene also talks about her love life inside the “Hot Issue.” Check out a couple excerpts from her revealing interview below: Will she get married? “I’m not one of those girls who sits at home thinking, By 25, I have to be married. Right now, I’m like I’m 25, I need to book my next movie! My parents have such a beautiful marriage. I’m not someone who takes it lightly. So I’m not going to get married until I know I’ll be with someone forever.” Does she have a type? “It’s about chemistry and a connection. I’ve changed so much over the past 10 years. What I wanted when I was 16, I didn’t want when I was 20, and that’s changed to something else now that I’m 25. Having a type is not for me”
The first image of the mysterious Elysium has made its way onto the Internet and a smooth skulled Matt Damon sporting a severe weapon and futuristic bric-a-brac are revealed. Director Neill Blomkamp received an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay for District 9 in 2010, which made over $115 million in the U.S. alone. Not bad for a feature directorial debut and no doubt a pass to move onto bigger and brighter things. The image, which came via The Playlist is reminiscent of District 9 weaponry. Sony said the sci-fi pic will be part of their presentation at Comic-Con. But, is it just me or does this image of Matt Damon make him look eerily similar to a notorious Dutch man currently sitting in a Peruvian prison? Joran van der Sloot looks like he could be a double for Damon in this pic if one just gave him some weapons (or maybe not a good idea), a tan shirt and some robotic attachments… Pardon the digress. Elysium also stars Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner, Alice Braga, Diego Luna and Wagner Moura and is slated to open next March. Set in 2159, a wealthy elite live on a man-made space station, while everyone else lives on a ruined Earth. It is one man’s mission (Damon) to bring back equality to the divergent worlds.

The rich, F. Scott Fitzgerald famously (and much overabusedly) wrote, “are different from you and me,” and Crazy Eyes tests just how much an audience will be able to care about their problems despite this fact. Wealth isn’t the explicit topic of the film, but it colors everything about it, from the swank house in the hills in which Zach (Lukas Haas) lives to the women who trail after him with dollar signs in their eyes to the way that he seems to have nothing to fill his time with except alcohol. The privilege isn’t the problem so much as how it has shaped our protagonist — a self-absorbed, self-pitying Los Angeles asshole who happens to be in a self-destructive phase. The motivating factor of the film is Zach’s pursuit of something, for once, he isn’t easily able to have — Rebecca (Madeline Zima), to whom he’s given the nickname “Crazy Eyes,” a girl who’ll drink herself into oblivion at his side but who won’t sleep with him. Crazy Eyes is the third directorial effort from Adam Sherman, and is, like his 2010 Happiness Runs , based on his own personal experiences, suggesting he either has a staggering sense of self-laceration or a just as noteworthy lack of awareness about audience empathy. The close of the film would seem to indicate the latter, as it finds Zach murmuring in his periodic noir-style voiceover that “I could tell you pleasing details, like maybe I quit drinking or ended up with a beautiful girl, but I don’t feel like telling you stuff like that, because if I told, and it was true, then I’d probably mess it up like everything else.” Until that point, the film has done so little to make you hope for or invest in any way in Zach’s redemption that the moment is eyebrow-raising — were we supposed to be rooting for this jerk the entire time? Zach’s malaise is due in part to his recent divorce and in part to some lingering parental resentment. Between bouts with booze we see him neglect his adorable, lisping urchin of a son and deal with his folks as his father (Ray Wise) tries to recover from a stroke. His days bleed into his nights in a slurry series of drunk scenes blending into bleary daylight — one thing Crazy Eyes does do well is to offer a feel for the elasticity of time when you’re in the middle of a bender, the messy burnt ends of disastrous evenings followed by the characters groaningly waking up in the late afternoon with little sense of mooring (“Oh, man, is it the weekend?” Zach asks, dismayed, when he pulls up to an art exhibit on a date and sees the length of the line outside). We never see where Zach met Rebecca, but at first she’s not even at the top of his list of girls to call when he wants company for the evening. She gets Zach’s attention by refusing it — by letting him take her back to his home and then pushing him away when he tries to make a move on her, saying that she has a boyfriend. This pattern comes to define their relationship, as do attempts at what Zach fondly refers to as a “struggle-fuck.” She comes over and often ends up in Zach’s bed, but his attempts at anything physical generally end, unpleasantly, with her fighting him off, sometimes violently. Despite Zach’s name for her, how crazy Rebecca actually is is something of an open question. The film is a measure of Zach’s subjective experience, from his narration to the way it visually echoes his less-than-sober outlook with jittery editing and close camerawork, and so presumably she’s being seen through his biased personal filter, as is his snippy ex-wife (Moran Atias), “lingerie designer” Autumn (Tania Raymonde) and the girl in New York (Regine Nehy) who keeps calling him to profess her love and insist “I just want your dick so bad it hurts.” All the women in Zach’s world are beautiful and want his money, and Rebecca is something of an anomaly because she resists, though we start to feel this may be part of a calculated game for her to keep him in the chase. Sherman co-wrote Crazy Eyes with Rachel Hardisty, the real-life inspiration for Rebecca, along with Dave Reeves, who’s presumably the rough equivalent to Zach’s bartending/coke-dealing best friend Dan (Jake Busey) — another relationship based, at least in part, on an underlying monetary enticement. The film seems to aim for a gritty and real depiction of a drug- and drink-fueled not-quite romance, but it’s in fact just your worst fears about the kinds of people who populate L.A. brought to ugly, misogynistic and sometimes maudlin life. “You’re a rich asshole with no feelings — you don’t even know what it’s like to struggle!” Rebecca yells at Zach right after we’ve seen him get, and not share with her, terrible news about his family. But it doesn’t feel like she’s wrong — it’s all just fodder for his eventual movie. Follow Alison Willmore on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
Lisa Vanderpump of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is really sad about her former home, which was featured on the show, being lost in a fire on Friday. “I’m shocked, really,” she told KCAL-TV. “It’s been an incredible journey coming to America and living in that house. My daughter got married in that house.” “I’m pretty emotional about it even though I sold it a few months ago.” The massive home, which appears in the opening credits of the Bravo reality show, was featured many times on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . As Lisa said, her daughter Pandora tied the knot on its grounds. “She got married there in the fall, as everybody who watched RHBOH saw, and it was amazing, and that’s what I want to think of it,” Vanderpump said. The fire was reported at about 6:30 p.m. Friday night, according to the LAFD. More than 100 firefighters responded to extinguish the massive flames. A portion of the roof and portions of the floors collapsed due to the fire, the cause of which is unknown. One firefighter was hospitalized but no one died. Vanderpump and husband Kenneth Todd downsized recently to a smaller home, selling the place for $19 million after their adult children moved out. Lisa, Camille Grammer , Taylor Armstrong, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Adrianne Maloof and Brandi Glanville return to the Bravo show later this year.
Octomom Nadya Suleman and new boyfriend Frankie Grageda went on a date this week. Stunning and breaking news right there, we know. Breathe. Who knows how you arrange a babysitter when you have 14 children and a house in foreclosure, but lo and behold, Octomom apparently pulled it off. Gotta make time for yourself and your love life, right?! Octo began dating Frankie G , a 23-year-old bodybuilder, two months ago. That’s a decent chunk of time, but the pair had not been able to go on their first real date without the brood until this week, when Frankie stepped up to the plate. He reportedly got a friend to watch the kids so he could take her to the beach in Santa Monica! There, she reenacted these scenes from the Octomom porn movie. Just kidding … but it wouldn’t have surprised us. The two worked out together on the beach, with Frankie Grageda helping her get in shape for her stripper gig at The Playhouse in Hollywood, Fla., on July 13. Who said true romance was dead?
