New Spoilers

 Frederick: Gossip Girl. Give it up! Is there any hope for Chuck and Blair? I’m getting really depressed with what I’ve seen for the new season.
I know you Chair fans have been in a funk since May, when Chuck the Basshole did you know what with you know who (for shame!), but I finally have a ray of hope to offer…I can tell you exclusively that Chuck and Blair will have, um, relations, of the bom-chicka-bow-wow kind during the upcoming season. At least, that’s what my sources are saying. Whether they will actually get back together, well…that I cannot say, sorry. But still, that’s a pretty major reason to keep tuning in, right?
Leslie in Carmel, Ind.: Gossip Girl…What can you tell us?
Penn Badgley can sum up the return of your favorite Upper East-Siders: “There’s a baby on the way, which I think everybody already knows anyway. We’re in Paris for a bit. There’s a gunshot wound and there’s another marriage.” Then he laughs. “I think. It’s hard to keep track of the weddings, because they’re all broken up anyway!” So, business as usual then? Indeed. “It’s the same kind of sensational stuff you’ve come to expect, and the change of locale makes it even more gorgeous. More of the same but in an even more heightened capacity,” Penn promises. Hang in there, GG fans. It’s almost time for the season premiere.

Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky recently told MTV that casting Natalie in the film had been planned for a long time!

“I first talked with Natalie about this project at least 10 years ago,” Darren shared. “We were in Times Square and had a coffee at the old Howard Johnson. I had this idea of setting something in the ballet world. It was very loose. I didn’t have a script. And then I found out she was fascinated by ballet and wanted to play a dancer.”

Sandra Bullock: Today Show Interview!

Sandra Bullock chats with Matt Lauer in this new video from Tuesday (August 31)’s episode of Today.

The 46-year-old actress spoke about how she got involved with Warren Easton Charter High School with board member Arthur Hardy. Here are a few highlights:

Arthur Hardy, on New Orleans welcoming Sandra: “The whole city has fallen in love with her. She belongs to us - don’t mess with Sandra! I’m serious - it’s like, you hurt her, you hurt us, and you better be ready for a fight!”

On finalizing baby Louis‘ adoption: As sterile as the room seemed, it felt so rich - it felt like it was time. And the process is the way that the process is for very, very good reasons and I did not circumvent - I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did. It was nice to have someone say, ‘I think you’re a good parent.’”

On keeping Louis’ adoption secret for so long and retaining privacy: “It takes good people with integrity. I remember, I read something like ‘How did someone keep a secret?” and it’s - human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut - that know the picture, that don’t sell out their friends. Those people are all over the place, but again, we don’t like to talk about it ’cause it doesn’t sell a magazine, but I was blessed with the same friends that I’ve had since before things got really special for me…when things get bad, they’re still the same friends.”

– Grew up in hotels in Savannah and San Francisco—her father was a Hyatt general manager
– On describing her upcoming movie I Am Number Four: "I'm likening it to Rebel Without a Cause. With supernatural elements. And aliens." (She’s dating her co-star Alex Pettyfer.)

Lindsay Lohan Covers Vanity Fair, Admits Irresponsibility

Lindsay Lohan graces the October 2010 issue of Vanity Fair, on stands Sept. 7. Here’s what the 24-year-old shared during her interview, which took place before she headed to jail:

On her supposed alcohol addiction: “If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [scram] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking — so that says something, because I was fine.”

On denying drug abuse: “I’ve never abused prescription drugs. I never have — never in my life. I have no desire to. That’s not who I am. I’ve admitted to the things that I’ve done — to, you know, dabbling in certain things and trying things ’cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, O.K., ’cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me. And I see what happened in my life because of it.”

On hanging out with the wrong crowd: "So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party."

On her father, Michael Lohan: “I think if anyone should be looked at medically it’s him. He has such a big chemical imbalance at this point because of all the things he’s done to himself. … The worst part of it is you turn around and you see your dad crying and normally you’d be, like, happy that your father’s there. But then he has to go and do an interview right after.”

On her career being far from over: “I want my career back. I know that I’m a damn good actress, and it’s been my passion since I was a child, and I know that when I care about something, I put 100 percent and more into it. … I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway. I don’t care. It’s the same thing every time.”

Sounds like a changed woman. We’re rooting for you, Lindsay!!!

Ryan McPartlin pairs a John Varvatos tee with Levi’s in this new spread for August Man magazine’s September 2010 issue.

Here’s what the 35-year-old Chuck actor had to share:

On what he did before he got his big break: “I remember reading about Brad Pitt dressing up like a chicken to wave at people into El Pollo Loco, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck searching the couch for spare change to eat at Sizzler, etc. For me, I had to dress up like a British guard with a kilt at a Tanqueray party and if I remember correctly, my agent at that time attended the party…very humbling.”

On being a former Abercrombie & Fitch model: “When a poster of your half naked body is spread across every A&F store in the country, people in your circle who have known you as this big goofball look at you a little differently. I just started to date my wife at that time and I think it was fun for her because she was at college but I didn’t think it was a big deal.”

On what it’s like working with the cast of Chuck: “The cast of Chuck is as close to me as any group I’ve been around. I sincerely love these people and hope to have a lot more time with them.”

The Celebrity Minute: 1 celebrity minute out of 15 minutes of fame

fortune

Paris says that she'll do whatever it takes to fix her image. Glad she's focused on the real problem. If she knew what she was saying, and meant it as sardonic humour, then everyone has radically underestimated that young woman! Of course if she knows what she's doing then she's a fucking genius. If Paris is famous for being famous then it's because the medium is the message. If Hilton has consciously applied that principle then she should be teaching a class in media studies! Hang in there, Paris baby!

As for Lohan wanting her career back - to whom much is given much is asked; and sometimes everything gets taken away. Fame and fortune are perilous, so stop being a sucker.
