Alex O’Loughlin Shirtless In The Back-Up Plan

Posted by taylor blue on September 15, 2009 | 4 Comments

I have to admit that I have been dragging my butt all day. I swear today is Monday! I got an alert for @TalkinToU about new pictures from The Back-Up Plan. I clicked over to see this one of Alex shirtless. I woke up instantly when I saw it.  The people that are marketing this movie have one thing good going on. They know we like to see Alex shirtless! I say all the power to them and they should just keep working with that formula. (A bigger version of the picture above included below, just so you can memorize every part of his chest.)

The synopsis for this movie is the following: After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. On the day of her artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O’Loughlin) – a man with real possibilities. Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he’s in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed – Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. Or, where “date night” consists of being the “focal point” at a near-stranger’s water birth which does for kiddie pools what “Jaws” did for swimming in the ocean. The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really don’t know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.

Honor Society & I: The Interview

Posted by taylor blue on September 15, 2009 | 1 Comment

Honor Society’s first album, Fashionably Late, is being released today. The group comprises of four guys, Michael Bruno, Alexander Noyes, Jason Rosen and Andrew Lee. Their new album is being described as “a funky, cool pop music album with a rock band vibe.” They have been featured in the movie  Bandslam and also will in and have a song on the upcoming movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel. They started their tour on September 13 and it continues until December.

I had a chance to interview the band about their favorite ice cream flavor, their album and how much they appreciate their fans. (The interview was done with Michael.)

On their favorite ice cream flavor: All four of us are classic chocolate ice cream lovers!

On coming up with the name Honor Society: The name Honor Society really just fit our vibe and our brotherhood as friends and bandmates. Plus it’s our way of saying to our fans that they are in the ‘honor society’ with us. We’re one big crew!

On how they all got together as a band: Michael, Jason and Alexander all grew up in the same hometown and we met Andrew though a friend. Michael and Jason started the band and it’s been about two years since all four of us have been Honor Society.

On presenting at the Teen Choice Awards: It was an amazing experience. That was a major moment for us, since we all grew up watching the Teen Choice Awards so to present on it was an honor and it was so much fun, awesome awards show!

On finding out their song would be in Bandslam: The whole Bandslam experience was terrific, having the song in the movie and on the soundtrack was awesome. The movie studio was really cool and set up for us acoustic performances in movie theaters across the country this past summer for people who had an advanced screening of the movie!

On if they got a chance to work with the Jonas Brothers one on one: Absolutely, Nick, Kevin and Joe all came by the studio frequently and we did some co-writing for the album as well.

On the experience of working with the Jonas Brothers: It was awesome. We learned so much from having them there. They taught us a lot about making an album and they’re such good friends so we had a blast when they would come by the studio.

On being excited about their album coming out: It’s a dream come true literally. We’ve dreamed of giving our fans the best possible Honor Society record and they are gonna get it on September 15th. We’re so grateful to be able to release an album and we hope the fans love it.

On opening for the Jonas Brothers and touring simultaneously: Being on one tour is a lot of work, being on two at the same time is slightly crazy, but we love what we do so none of it feels like work. We’re so grateful to get to do both!

On the favorite part of touring: It’s seems so simple but our favorite part is playing music. That’s why we tour and it’s the reason touring is so awesome.

On the least favorite part of touring: Doing laundry is so hard to do on tour! It’s always a struggle to figure out.

I also asked a couple of questions that I received from asking on Twitter. Here they are!

On if they get annoyed if people always comment to them on Twitter, Myspace and Facebook: Not at all, we love it, we love how passionate our fans are and we’d never ask them to change.

On the craziest fan encounter they have ever had: We had a fan tattoo our autographs on her foot this summer. That was pretty crazy!

On their first performance at the Staples Center: I’m (Michael) a huge Lakers fan so it was a big moment for me to play Staples. I’ve watched Kobe win 4 Championships on TV there so to play there was incredible, plus our California fans are AWESOME! no duh.
