Fashionably Late, the debut album from Honor Society, is available now.
Earlier this morning I was talking about on Twitter about how I have been depending on my American spell checker a lot. Usually, I can write American really easy but these days I really have to concentrate on it. That’s why I’m glad my spell checker tells me when I’m spelling it wrong. I saw this video today of Alex O’Loughlin and he was talking about what slang he uses and it got me thinking that there must be some days when he just can’t get down his American accent and words down.
Alex also published a new blog on MySpace. He is such an amazing man for the things he says to his fans.
Dear All,
As I write this I am conscious of the fact that I feel like I say the same things in every blog I send out to you all… “Thank you-Thank you-Thank you”.
I haven’t stopped for so long and it kind of seems like my birthday came and went really quickly this year. But it wasn’t without THE most ridiculous influx of gifts, cards, and the usual, wonderful support I am slowly becoming accustomed to from all of you. My ever loyal and loving fans.
So I guess I’ll just say it again..
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
Guys, thanks for a really terrific birthday. You make me feel like I’m never alone.
Be well. Be safe.
All my love,
Alex. x
He also talked about how he is on the list to be an organ donor. I signed my card back when I was 20. I remember people thinking back then I was nuts. I also have been called a couple of times to donate my bone marrow. I think that if there is anything I can do to make someone live longer I have to do it. Okay, I’m done the lecture now.
I LOVE tattoos, I have six of them myself. I have always wondered what Chace Crawford might look like with tattoos. He put on some temporary ones for this photo shoot with Interview magazine. They get a big thumbs up from me since the pics are in black and white. I love pictures in b&w, it really shows the person inside. Here are the highlights from the interview:
On deciding to live with Ed Westwick: “I wanted to live in a really nice building, and he really didn’t care. I also didn’t want to be paying an arm and a leg for rent . . . Ed’s girlfriend was in town most of the time for the pilot we shot in ’07. So we hung out a little bit and talked about getting a place. We talked to Penn, too, but he had shot a show in New York before and was living, I think, with Milo Ventimiglia. Penn said, ‘No, but good luck. I’m over the roommate situation.’ So I called up Ed and was like, ‘Hey, man, I’m going to New York tomorrow. Do you want to room with me?’ He’s like [faking British accent], ‘Yeah, why not?’ So I looked around and sent him a few pics of the place I found and he said [faking British accent], ‘Is there any extra room for guest bedrooms?’ I was like, ‘What are you talking about? This is New York. What do you want, a game room? Let’s just make space for a ping-pong room as well.’ [laughs] Ed had no idea. But the apartment was in a nice building, and it had a great roof deck. We’d hang out up there all the time with our friends, and it was private.”
About fan overload while filming: “You’re having a serious conversation, looking someone in the eye, but everywhere around you, it’s literally a circus. Sometimes I sit back and laugh. . . It’s funny because everyone wants to know what’s happening on set. There isn’t anything shocking to write about, so magazines want to stir things up, like, ‘Blake and Leighton hate each other.’ But the truth is, when we’re all done with work, it’s like, ‘Hey, what are you doing? Let’s go do karaoke.’ The publicity factor is outrageous. They just want to shoot you down. So that can definitely wear on you a bit. A perception of you is created, and you really have no control over it. To some degree, you learn to adapt. But you also think, ‘Eff you, you don’t know me.’”
On his personal life: “I’m the biggest believer in not talking. I don’t Twitter or MySpace or Facebook. I want to keep to myself. I don’t want to be out there. You have to keep some kind of control over who you are.”
Kate Voegele is one of those singers that has recently won over my heart. I love her song, 99 Times. I’ve listened to it about a million times. Now you can see Kate do an interview with the MySpace Music Feed about how she came about writing her songs and how One Tree Hill inspired her. (And as a bonus and interview and exclusive performance Sean Kingston is also on this clip.)
MySpace’s The List welcomed The All-American Rejects for an exclusive session in front of a roaring Dallas crowd, all captured in high-def! Tyson, Nick, Mike and Chris rocked out a special 6 song set featuring a handful of tracks from the band’s latest release When The World Comes Down including hits “Gives You Hell” and “I Wanna” as well as “Dirty Little Secret” from the band’s double-platinum album Move Along. The Rejects pulled out all the stops for this wicked performance including an acoustic ballad with “Mona Lisa” and the beautifully performed “Another Heart Calls” featuring indie pop act The Pierces.

New promo pictures of Alex O’Loughlin in Three Rivers have come out today. I couldn’t be happier. The picture above is so beautiful. And speaking of Alex, I added him to my background on Twitter the other day. (You can check it out at @taylor_blue)
Alex also wrote a blog on his MySpace today. I haven’t been able to stop reading it since it arrived in my inbox. Alex is amazing to his fans and this post he wrote today really proves it. He talks about how he hasn’t stopped working since his last update and a bit about how it was working with Jennifer Lopez. But the last paragraph of the blog is was impressed me the most.
Thank you all so much for the constant support. It can be difficult to reach you all personally and individually, but none of your love and hard work ever goes unnoticed or unappreciated. It is something in my life that helps me find the energy I don’t always think I have, to get through another long work day and stay inspired. Without you all it would be kind of pointless so, again, thank you.
All my love
Alex O’Loughlin x
That’s Alex always thinking of other people. That’s why I love him as an actor. That’s why I’ll always support him.
