Alexa Chung ‘V Magazine’ Interview
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Chung lives in Brooklyn’s hot neighborhood, Williamsburg, but she hasn’t been so successful when it comes to making friends in New York. “I don’t really have any friends in America.”
“Well, I have some friends,” Chung tells V Magazine. “But I’m working all the time, and, also, I just think that I’m a good judge of character….I just can’t tolerate douche bags.”
British talk show host Alexa Chung inherited TRL’s time slot over the summer, but she’s just not clicking with the Americans on her hit MTV show It’s On with Alexa Chung.
Chung’s daily show is a smash but when her contract with MTV ends, will the 25-year-old return to native England?
“I don’t know. I went to a wedding last weekend [in England] and when I got back here I was quite relieved to be home in New York. Whoa, I guess that’s the first time I actually said that and meant it: ‘Home in New York.’”

Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
In a tell-all interview with the December issue of Vanity Fair Magazine, Twilight’s Robert Pattinson downplays his rumored real-life relationship with his onscreen love Kristen Stewart.
Pattinson, 23, insist that he and Stewart are “good friends.”
“[We’re] good friends,” Robert told the mag. “I think she’s the best young actress around. She’s influenced how I’ve done all the ‘Twilight’ stuff. It’s quite nice to have someone who is genuinely indifferent to the whole spectacle of everything.”

David Hasselhoff Relates Himself To Amy Winehouse
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has compared himself to drug-addled singer Amy Winehouse, saying that the pair share an addiction to alcohol that is “a universal problem.”
The singer/actor was admitted to rehab last month amid reports he accidentally hit a doctor during a booze binge. The Hoff has also been hospitalized on two separate occasions this year suffering from alcohol poisoning.
The star is now openly acknowledging that he has a drinking problem.
“The problem that I’ve experienced in my own life and some of the stuff that’s been documented about Amy is a universal problem. It’s an illness. You don’t wake up in the morning and decide to have this problem.”
I think it is very courageous for David to finally speak out about his struggle which has been publicly known for some time. It is so true, no one plans on being an alcoholic-it’s a disease- and I wish him the best with his recovery.

Andre Agassi Reveals The Truth Behind His Hair In His New Autobiography, ‘OPEN’
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
In his new autobiography, former tennis star Andre Agassi admits the lion mane-hairstyle he sported during the 1990s was actually a wig used to shield his baldness. Agassi said he wore a hairpiece held together with pins in his first Grand Slam final, the 1990 French Open final, and blames his concerns that it would fall apart for losing the match to Andres Gomez.
Before the match he prayed “not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off”, he writes in Open.
“Every morning I would get up and find another piece of my identity on the pillow, in the wash basin, down the plughole,” he writes. “I asked myself: you want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court? I answered myself; what else could I do?”
But the wig began to disintegrate as he took a shower the night before the Paris final — “probably I used the wrong hair rinse,” Agassi, now 39, continues.
“Of course I could have played without my hairpiece, but what would all the journalists have written if they knew that all the time I was really wearing a wig? During the warming-up training before play I prayed. Not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off.”
He says, “With each leap, I imagine it falling into the sand. I imagine millions of spectators move closer to their TV sets, their eyes widening and, in dozens of dialects and languages, ask how Andre Agassi’s hair has fallen from his head.”
Agassi won eight Grand Slams during his career and is one of only six men to win all four major titles.

Brad Paisley ‘Playgirl’ Magazine?
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Country hunk Brad Paisley won’t be ripping a page from the Book of Levi Johnston and baring all for Playgirl.
During an interview on Broadway’s Electric Barnyard Radio Show last week, Brad was asked if he would ever do Playgirl like fellow musician Keith Urban, who posed in 2001, Brad said he has been asked, but politely declined.
“I’ve actually turned that down,” the singer said. “They’ve asked a few times. They can forget it.”
He added, “They ask every male country singer, trust me.”
One reason why Brad won’t be posing is because he wants to be someone his younger fans can count on.
“That’s just not what I’m about,” he said. “You know another thing? I’ve got a lot of fans that are teenage girls here and there and I don’t want them buying that magazine. I’m not going to promote that magazine,” explained Brad, who is married to actress Kimberly Williams.
“Some things are better left to the imagination and that’s one of them.”

Spice Girls 2012 Olympic Reunion Performance
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
The Spice Girls are in talks to perform during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics Games in London, according to British music mogul Simon Fuller — who turned the group into the most successful girl band of all-time during their chart reign in the late ’90s.
“They stand for so much in British music history and I can’t think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance. The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever,” Fuller said.
“They will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40s, but it’’s amazing how often people talk about another reunion. And I think if they do it, it’’s going to be in 2012.”
The event will be seen by an estimated two billion people. The most successful British bands since The Beatles, the Spice Girls have sold more than 65 million records worldwide. In 2007, the hit-makers briefly returned for a reunion tour.
