Rihanna Covers January 2010 GQ Mag...Topless [COVER]

Rihanna poses topless in the January issue of GQ magazine...She reminds me of a that really hot girl in high school, that you wondered "how did she got so lost? Ahh well...she's still really hot though!"

"It's relieving," she told the magazine of talking to the press about her violent encounter with Brown early this year, "because it was built up for so long, and all these thoughts and emotions have been running through my mind for the past eight months. And now it's like I finally get to let go and move on."

"I wanted people to move on with me," she continues, "'cause the last big thing they know about me is That Night. And I don't want that to be what people define me as."

'The Wire' ...Will Be A Class at Havard University [POP CULTURE]

An ivy league series...given the intricacies, and complexities of the show I am not as surprised to learn this news. I was explaining the concept of the show to a friend of mine last night, and in doing so it had dawned on me on just how deep the sociopolitical concepts were. Check this interview with the shows creator, David Simon, did with Bill Moyers a little while back here.

THE Wire," HBO's gritty series about life in the Baltimore ghetto, is about to become a course at Harvard.

The announcement came at a panel discussion at the school featuring several of the show's stars, according to the Harvard student newspaper, The Crimson.

'Bad Boys 3' In The Works! [MOVIES]

Imagine my glee, to awaken to such terrific news! Have I just made your Monday!? I just made mine!

Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the high-octane "Bad Boys" franchise, tapping Peter Craig to pen the screenplay.

The hope is to have a script that would reunite director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. At this point, with the project in the early stages, none has a deal to return.

The "Boys" movies feature Smith and Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, caught up in cases involving car chases and explosions.

The first "Boys," released in 1995, helped launch Bay as a director and Smith as an action star even though it was not a fire-stamped blockbuster -- it grossed $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide.

Natalie Portman Loves Obscene Hip Hop, Ice Cream Cake [LYL]

A Live Your Life post...and it's pretty funny to me. Something about white people getting buck to crunk music makes me smile...and the almost timid, "naughty" nature in which she speaks about it only amplifies the entertainment.

GYLLENHAAL: Okay. What's your favorite food?

PORTMAN: Well, I don't think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake.

GYLLENHAAL: I'm more Baskin-Robbins style myself.

PORTMAN: Oh really? I am so Carvel. Did I just bring us back to 1985 Long Island?

GYLLENHAAL: What song best describes your current state?

PORTMAN: My current state . . . I'm trying to think of a song that feels like sleepwalking. [laughs] I don't know. I've mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. That's sort of my scene.

GYLLENHAAL: Your affection for dirty rap is something that people really don't know about you, which I think is fascinating. You do incredible things for the world, and then you listen to just completely obscene hip-hop music.

PORTMAN: Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined . . . I've been listening a lot lately to "Wait (The Whisper Song)" by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, "Wait 'til you see my dick"--which is just amazing because it's whispered. [whispers] "Wait 'til you see my dick . . . " [laughs] Crazy. So I just listen to it like I'm a five-year-old, like, "Oh my god! I can't believe he just said that!"

"Creation" To Lead Off Toronto International Film Festival [MOVIES]

In somewhat of a coincidence, I was going over Darwin's theories just yesterday, and in a serendipitous nature I wound up viewing the trailer for this film here.

The world premiere of Creation, a drama about evolution theorist Charles Darwin starring married actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, has nabbed the opening night slot at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.

Organizers announced their selection of the British film on Tuesday morning, as well as 22 more additions to its gala and special presentations lineups.

"We have traditionally opened with a Canadian film, but this year we chose to go a different route. We fell in love with this movie and this is the one, we felt, really sets the tone for the kinds of conversations we hope will happen around the films at the festival," TIFF co-director Cameron Bailey told reporters on Tuesday.

He added that the "tension between faith and reason" seen in Jon Amiel's film Creation — which follows Darwin as he struggles with the views of his deeply religious wife and his world-changing theories — is also emerging in other films programmers have selected.

"This theme of that eternal conflict between faith and reason does seem to be emerging from different parts of the world, in different kinds of films: documentaries, fiction films, big films, small films," Bailey said.

Two American films and a Norse-Danish-German co-production have been added to the gala schedule:

* Precious, Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, which won wide acclaim at Sundance.
* Get Low, starring Robert Duvall as a 1930s backwoods eccentric who stages his own funeral.
* Max Manus, a film based on the true story of Norway's famed Second World War resistance fighter.

As well, 18 new and recent titles — from noted filmmakers like Jane Campion, Steven Soderbergh and Johnnie To and featuring actors such as Clive Owen, Eva Green, Matt Damon, Edward Norton and Kristin Scott Thomas — were also added to the TIFF 2009 schedule as special presentations:

* The Boys are Back, Scott Hicks (Australia/U.K.).
* Bright Star, Jane Campion (U.K./Australia).
* City of Life and Death, Lu Chuan (China).
* Cracks, Jordan Scott (Ireland).
* Hadewijch, Bruno Dumont (France).
* The Informant, Steven Soderbergh (U.S.).
* The Invention of Lying, Ricky Gervais and Matthew Robinson (U.S.).
* Leaves of Grass, Tim Blake Nelson (U.S.).
* London River, Rachid Bouchareb (U.K./France/Algeria).
* Mao's Last Dance, Bruce Beresford (Australia/U.S./China).
* Moloch Tropical, Raoul Peck (Haiti/France).
* Mother, Bong Joon-ho (South Korea).
* Ondine, Neil Jordan (Ireland/U.S.).
* Partir, Catherine Corsini (France).
* Scheherazade Tell Me a Story, Yousry Nasrallah (Egypt).
* Solitary Man, Brian Koppelman and David Levien (U.S.)
* Valhalla Rising, Nicolas Vinding Refn (Denmark/U.K.).
* Vengeance, Johnnie To (Hong Kong/France).
* The Vintner's Luck, Niki Caro (New Zealand/France).

Further titles will be announced in the coming weeks, including this year's full Canadian lineup in August.

"The Hangover" 1 up's "Up" [MOVIES]

Saw this last night...never expected to see a theatre so packed on a Monday night! Anyway...this movie is truly hilarious! With a sequel already planned, I'm thinking consecutive #1 weekend numbers. You do have an online option you can exercise as well: Dream Stations

One of my favourite quotes:

Stu: "She is wearing my grandmother's Holocaust ring."
Alan: "I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust."

LOS ANGELES — Hollywood had a bigger hangover this weekend than expected.

The Warner Bros. comedy "The Hangover" drew larger audiences than earlier projected to raise its weekend ticket sales to $45 million, about $1.8 million more than the studio estimated Sunday.

That made it the No. 1 draw for the weekend instead of Disney and Pixar Animation's "Up," which came in second with $44.1 million. Sunday studio estimates had "Up" edging "The Hangover" by about $1 million.

I'm Getting Jolie Money! [MONEY]

"Angelina Jolie has dethroned Oprah Winfrey as the world's most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes."

I think if Oprah adopts me, it'll put her back on top next year!

NEW YORK — Angelina Jolie has dethroned Oprah Winfrey as the world's most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes.

The actress grabbed the No. 1 spot from the talk show queen on the magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list, which ranks the rich and famous based on media exposure and career earnings over the past year.

Jolie, a reigning tabloid fixture, earned $27 million, bumping her up from third place on last year's list, Forbes said, adding that she wields more power due to high-profile turns in hit films such as "Wanted" and "Kung Fu Panda."

At No. 2, Winfrey is still the highest earner _ $275 million.

Madonna came in third, trailed by Beyonce, Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen and Steven Spielberg.

Wall Street 2 [MOVIES]

I put out news on this before...and as one of my favourite films I am priding myself on keeping up to date with all things Wallstreet 2. (Props to google alerts) Principal photography starts on August 10th, and the film's release is now planned for February 2010. The tentative storyline by screenwriter Allan Loeb, is as follows:

Michael Douglas, as everyone already knows, reprises his Best Actor Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko. But what hasn't been reported is that, as the movie begins, it's 21 years later and Mr. Greed Is Good has finished serving his prison sentence. He finds himself on the fringe of the financial community. ("Kinda like Jim Cramer or Mike Milken after their disgrace," an insider with the pic tells me.) Gekko is cautioning Wall Street that the "end is coming" -- but nobody is listening. So Gordon is obsessed with trying to repair his ruptured relationship with his daughter. That juicy actress role isn't cast yet. (But I'd love it if Oliver had the balls to bring back Sean Young as Mom in spite of their notorious falling out during the filming of the original.)

Enter Shia LaBeouf, who was reported in negotiations and I can now state is set to co-star. (I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one day every Hollywood movie will star this guy who turns 23 on June 11th.) Shia is a young Wall Street trader who's engaged to be married to Gekko's estranged daughter. Shia wants to be a major player, but his mentor unexpectedly kills himself, and Shia thinks a stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager is responsible. Shia seeks revenge on this villain, to be played by No Country For Old Men Supporting Actor-winner Javier Bardem. So Shia goes to Gordon saying, "I need your help", and makes a Faustian deal with Gekko who in return wants Shia's help getting back with the daughter. From then on, it's "antagonism" for everyone, my insider says.

Cindy Crawford is Forty-what?! In Allure Magazine [PHOTO]

Cynthia Ann "Cindy" Crawford is an American actress and former model and was born February 20th, 1966, but could easily pass for 1986...okay maybe a stretch. Known for her trademark mole just above her lip, she has adorned more magazine covers than any model in history.

As for keeping in such tip top shape the photo caption reads:

"This is what 43 looks like. Crawford's skin-care regimen includes a day cream with antioxidants, a sunscreen, a night cream, and an eye cream. She also swears by microdermabrasion - and protecting the skin on her hands, neck, and chest."

Sean John Combs: Once Upon A Time In America by Barry Michael Cooper

I lieu of the anniversary of Big's passing, I thought this interview would be an appropriate post. HuffPost blogger Barry Michael Cooper interviews Puff, and among the things he delves into, was the audio interlude in Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die in which, by the sounds of it, Biggie is receiving fellatio.

Cooper asks Diddy in the HuffPost interview, "In the interlude, is Big actually getting some head? Diddy responds, "Yeah," and laughs. He continued, "These are questions that nobody's ever asked, and I think Big would be alright with it."

Check out Cooper's blog, Hooked On The American Dream for the 3-part interview where Puff, among other things, describes how the famous blow job came to be.
