Actually, Robert Pattinson has been deemed Sexiest Man Alive. People Magazine’s annual issue has chosen Twilight, New Moon’s teen vampire as 2009’s sexiest guy. Robert is actually 23 years old and claims “I still can’t get a date.”
Maybe he should bathe. Sources from his movie sets claim Robert’s hygiene is terrible and that gorgeous messy hair? Dirty, oily and likely weeks without a wash! So, swoon on teenie-boppers…his smell is surely overpowered by his bite.
Other hotties joining Robert on 2009’s list include John Legend, Adam Lambert, Jerry O’Connell, Bradley Cooper, David Beckham and the guys from Glee.

Hollywood Hunk Robert Pattinson is stirring up quite a frenzy on the set of his new film, New Moon. But the ruckus isn’t from swarming paparazzi or frenzied fans, it’s from the stench that exudes from the star himself. The buzz about his terrible body odor is taking center stage.
Twilight’s hottest vampire has publicly admitted that he doesn’t have a sense of personal hygiene. In an interview with Extra, the star says he doesn’t think it’s necessary to wash his hair — or his body for that matter. When asked if it was true that he once said he hadn’t washed his hair for six weeks, he answered, “Probably. I don’t know. I don’t really see the point in washing your hair.”
Pattinson’s lack of hygiene has been dismissed as a typical European aversion of daily showers. However, some crew members on the set of his latest films feel differently.
“He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy,” dishes someone who works in very close quarters with Pattz.
“He completely reeks,” complains another annoyed crewmember.
Pattz isn’t the first smokin’ hot celeb to avoid the shower. Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey have all reportedly left personal hygiene and grooming by the wasteside.

Lindsay Lohan has had more than her fair share of the limelight in her short 22-year existence. Seems like she graces the tabloids every week with some new and outrageous stunt. From her recent DUI trouble to spats with her lesbian lover, Samantha Ronson.
The model turned singer turned actress turned alcholic faces mobs of paparazzi on a daily basis and tons of media blurbs analyzing her every move.
Just this week, Lilo has been ditched in Vegas by Sam, violated her probation, evaded police and been involved in two automobile scrape-ups (she wasn’t driving). Yet, she still found time to go shopping with Kanye West in Hollywood! What a busy gal! Below is a timeline of the whirlwind week for Lilo.
March 9: Sam Ronson ditches Lindsay in a Las Vegas Club, sending Lilo into a rage.
March 13: Warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan’s arrest…stemming from a 2007 DUI charge. She has apparently skipped a few alcohol education classes, violating the terms of her probation.
March 13: After learning of her arrest warrant, Lindsay flees to hide out at Jack Nicholson’s house (strange). Upon entering his driveway, her driver scrapes the wall.
March 14: Cops are called to Sam Ronson’s house for a domestic disturbance. Turns out, the pair were fighting (surprise) when Lindsay threw something and a window was broken. Cops tried to serve Lilo’s arrest warrant then, but neither Sam nor the fugitive would open the door.
March 16: Linds is leaving Sky Bar when her driver crashed into one of the bar’s impossible-to-miss, 30-foot tall, mahogany doors (no injuries). She should just walk, or ride a bike.

I honestly had not heard much about the Oscar winning film until it’s ten nominations from the Academy. In the weeks preceeding the Academy Awards Show, there was much to do about the film and its cast, the Slumdog Millionaire kids were all over the media. And now that they have walked the red carpet and the film has taken home eight Academy Awards, those kids are becoming increasingly more intriguing. So, who are they? How did they reach super-stardom?
Actor Dev Patel plays the lead role of Jamal Malik; the stages of life for Jamal are played by Ayush Mahesh Khedekar (Young Jamal) and Tanay Hemant Chheda (Middle Jamal). Madhur Mittal plays the part of Salim; the stages of his life are played by Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail Sheikh (Young Salim) and Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwala (Middle Salim). Freida Pinto plays Latika; the childhood stages are played by Rubina Ali (Young Latika) and Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar (Middle Latika)
The poorest of the castmates, Azharuddin Ismail, 10, and Rubina Ali, eight, currently live in appalling conditions in one of Mumbai’s most squalid areas. Azharuddin lives with his mother, who is blind in one eye, and his father, a tuberculosis-sufferer, by the side of a bustling road in a lean-to of tarpaulin sheets because they cannot afford a house. Rubina lives in a one-room bubble-gum pink tin shack next to train tracks, with an open sewer running past her door. It is estimated that about 65 million Indians, roughly a quarter of the urban population, live in slums.

The two youngest Slumdog stars were plucked straight from the slums. Casting agents discovered Rubina and Azharuddin in the ghastly Garib Nagar slum and cast them to star in the film’s opening scenes. The children were paid for 30 days of acting work, the families were given a small monthly stipend and trust funds were set up for Rubina and Azhar to access once they graduate. The children’s families have also been given a “flat” by the Mumbai Housing Authority. It is a chance to get out of the slums and into a real house.
“These two children have brought laurels to the country,” said Gautam Chatterjee, head of Mumbai’s housing authority.

My question is, how do you take a Nicholas Sparks novel, add Richard Gere and Diane Lane, and have it turn out this badly. All the signs where there for a great movie, but in the end, it just fell flat. I haven’t read the book, so lets hope it was better. There was little here worth mentioning other than it was VERY formulaic for a romance-drama. So much so that you can figure out what happens without even seeing the movie. Frank Lovece from over at filmjournal.com said it best:
It’s the film of a Lifetime…cable network.
If you find you happen to watch the Lifetime channel at least a couple hours a day, you might like this film. If you are looking for something creative and/or thought provoking this is not for you. If you make your boyfriend go, try not to laugh at the parts where you are supposed to be crying. Nights of Rodanthe is currently scoring a 29% on rottentomatoes, and a paltry 5.6 on the imdb.

The last trailer from the much anticipated Twilight movie is out. Although I have never read the series of books by Stephenie Meyer, they seem to be super popular, kind of in the same way Harry Potter is, but on a smaller scale. Only knowing that is a vampire-romance-movie, the trailer looks to be semi-decent, and will probably come in as a solid PG-13 movie for the thanksgiving holiday.
