I am a bit late posting these pictures of Chace Crawford the other day on the Gossip Girl set. I know there are some people that would love to see them. Me included. I can’t wait to see Chace in Footloose. Because thinking about him dancing is killing me. And I know his acting will be amazing.
I am a huge fan of Alex O’Loughlin. Yes, I have him on my Twitter background even. But after this interview that was done with him, I can’t resist him any longer. I didn’t even know that was possible since I was already such a huge fan of his. So here is the 10 things that make me want Alex even more.
1. He plays guitar. “It’s a hobby for me, but I’m never alone if there’s a guitar there.”
2. He can fish (and more). “I’m a fisherman. I’ve always loved fishing. I grew up fishing for trout. I’m not the best fly fisherman, but I can fly-fish, because I crack a whip. I learned to crack a whip as a boy, out on the properties. I have skills, mad skills. Also I’ve been ocean fishing and river fishing.”
3. He could try to fix your toilet. “I worked for a plumber for three months or something, when I was in the tortured teenage years, as a part-time job. It was s***, pardon the pun. It was the worst job ever, so disgusting.”
4. He can now tie surgical knots. “I can actually do the knots. Gonzo (Dr. Gonzalo ‘Gonzo’ Gonzalez-Stawinski, the surgeon who inspired O’Loughlin’s ‘Three Rivers’ character, Dr. Andy Jablosnki) showed me. I’m quite proficient with that, because I’m used to working with fishing line.”
5. He can save you from a raging inferno. “I put a bush fire out. I had to fight a bush fire when I was the property. It was one of the most incredible things, terrifying. We get them a lot in Australia.”
6. He plays sports. “Carol (series creator Carol Barbee) called me and said, ‘What sport does Andy play?’ I said, ‘Rugby.’ Rugby union is a more sophisticated game and a more civilized game. They call union the ‘Lords’ Game.’ League is rougher. I never played in union. I also play a game called Aussie Rules (Football). It’s a great game.
“You don’t have to punch each other in the face anymore. It’s all changed. It was part of the game. As boys, it’s important to get punched and hit. Now you get severe penalties, and they bench you for six weeks. We called it ‘getting to know each other.’”
7. He had troubles as a child. “I had a bit of OCD as a kid, quite a bit, actually. I wouldn’t step on a crack. It would take me an hour to get my shoes tied, because I had this weird OCD thing.”
8. You want him to make you his special meatballs. “Lots of fresh garlic, but — it makes a difference — the way you cut the garlic and the onion, the kind of onion you use. If it’s just for me, I use lean beef. If it’s for other people, I’ll use Wagyu or Kobe.”
9. He had interesting taste in TV as a kid. “‘A-Team,’ hell, yeah, man – Murdock, Hannibal. Those were my favorite shows, ‘The A-Team’ and ‘Monkey Magic,’ which I bet none of you knows about. It was about these mythical characters: one was a monkey; one was a pig; one was a fish; one was a Buddha. They would travel over the countryside. They’re all kung-fu masters. It’s the great show.”
10. And, yes, he can sing the “Monkey Magic” theme, and there’s a dance to go with it. But he’s not sure what he’d think of the show as an adult. “It’s probably s***. I haven’t watched it in years. Now I’d watch it and go, ‘It’s terrible.’ But I thought it was the greatest thing.”
I love guitarists. And I can make Alex all the meatballs he wants.
Law Abiding Citizen is coming soon so catch one of the new clips out. The clip features Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. And we all know how much I heart Gerard!
If you love the movie Law Abiding Citizen as much as I do you can take a crack at editing your own trailer of the movie over at IGN. There is a wide selection of clips, graphics, music, and sound effects for you to use. The winner will receive a $500 Visa gift card and a chance for the mash-up to be included on the Law Abiding Citizen DVD! F. Gary Gray, the Director, will personally judge the entries, choose his favorite fan-made trailer and give it a spotlight on the film’s eventual release to home video. GET OVER THERE BEFORE OCTOBER 13th when the contest officially closes.
Also I was sent over some awesome stills from the movie and I thought I would add them to this post. I think this will be one of Gerard’s movies to date. See it in theaters on October 16th.
OneRepublic have just premiered the video for their new single “All The Right Moves.” The band takes the stage at a beautiful masquerade ball in the Wayne Isham (Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Metallica) directed clip. “All The Right Moves” will appear on OneRepublic’s forthcoming album Waking Up due out on 11/17.
As a side note, I love this song. I heard it last week and I haven’t been able to stop listening to it.
I can’t believe that I missed last weeks episode. My stupid cable box seems to be against me and wants me to miss everything. But anyways…I digress.
The sixth episode of the season is called Lost Girls, and it goes like this. Elena demands that Stefan explain the frightening events that have been happening in Mystic Falls. In flashbacks, Stefan explains how his rivalry with Damon began. Back in the present, Damon impulsively takes control of Vicki’s future, and a confused and frightened Vicki runs away. Finally, Sheriff Forbes and Mayor Lockwood take steps to protect the town.
This show has become my life now. I need to go get the books so I can read the series too. Once a week watching it isn’t enough for me.
It’s about time we get to see new pictures of Peter Facinelli. I was going through withdrawals. Peter has been so busy flying from here to there that the paparazzi hasn’t had a chance to take pictures of him.
Last night he was at the Sony Vaio Microsoft product launch held at Gustavino’s in New York City. His eyes are so amazing in these pictures. I’m surprised his hair isn’t blonder…usually it is when he’s busy filming the Twilight Saga.
