Truth be told, I really just wanted a reason to post a picture of Kellan Lutz and have a reason to talk about him. I have been having major discussions about Kellan and his acting skills in Facebook for the last couple of days, so I had to prove that yes, Kellan is amazing beyond the two lines that everyone says he only has.
So look at this behind the scenes footage of Kellan for Self magazine and tell me if he is not adorable. (Side note: Kellan if you are reading this…I need your sweater. ASAP. Thank you.)
A new trailer for SAW VI has come out. This one explains a bit more about it and reveals Jigsaw as being alive. There goes that spoiler. The last Saw I saw he was dead!
Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood.
It hits theaters on October 23rd.
Also try out the cool SAW VI game on the official website. It’s called the Wheel of Death. You go to the site and check out the red band clip from the film and then via Facebook Connect, choose 6 of your friends to place on the wheel of death. But beware – you will have some tough choices ahead of you…
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.

Honor Society have set the foundation for a breakout year in 2009. They have been named a Band To Watch by Rolling Stone, “Buzzworthy Artist” by MTV and earned an opening spot on the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour. In anticipation of their forthcoming debut album Fashionably Late, Honor Society released the single “Where Are You Now” which was featured in the movie Bandslam starring Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka. Co-written by John Fields (Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Eat World) and executive produced by the Jonas Brothers, Fashionably Late showcases the band’s potent sound and skilled musicianship.
