Just Because...James Van Der Beek

If I Was You, I'd Wanna Be Me Too
James Van Der Beek

Just Because It's Monday and I need motivation, Just Because there is nothing like waking up to a broken couch and Just Because damn he's fine, it's James Van Der Beek!

You know the eternally sensitive Dawson from the creek? While I never watched the shown (I suppose I broke some sort of a commandment by not doing so) - I am truly captivated by how manly and hot grown up James is in comparison to the younger version of himself.

See James all smiles leaving a taping of Live With Kelly and Ryan in NYC. Swoon at his masculine jawline with a touch of scruff. Dream that your body will one day look as good as his at 41 and beyond.

Yep, that Van Der Beek really did reinvent himself, his latest project Pose on FX really caught the media and public by surprise. 

Now about that cup of coffee I so desperately need right here right now...

Hot Tub Time Machine???

Fly On The Wall
Hailey Baldwin & Justin Bieber

This rather curious photo of Justin Bieber & Fiancee Hailey Baldwin in a passionate lip lock recently graced Bieber's Instagram.

What's so curious about an engaged couple making out you may ask? Well clearly there was a third party involved for the moment to be captured. Also whoever the individual was, they were soaking in the tub with the two lovebirds - right across from them I might add.

Talk about being a third wheel! Unless there was some sort of way to bend the laws of physics that enabled the Biebs to somehow capture the moment by utilizing the hot tub as a time machine...well you get the picture, and obviously somebody else did too.

So the real question of the day is, who took this steamy photo and how did the individual feel about being that close in proximity to the intimate moment?

Whoever it was my bet is it was a guy that shot it, think about it, but not too much.

Mic Drop!

Silly Saturday

Mahna, Mahna
Kylie Minogue & Some Friends

Today I am feeling light and breezy, "No" definitely not easy and breezy...

Thus this image of Pop Superstar Kylie Minogue with The Muppets is exactly what one needs to take in on a Silly Saturday. I feel silly, oh so silly I feel silly and witty and bright. And I pity anyone who isn't me today!

Kylie took some time out to be a special guest on The Muppets Take The 02 in London, England recently and it looks like she had a blast. Thus in return I have put you all on blast that she is now Queen of the Muppets - Ha! Kidding, or am I.

Don't you love a good secret? Of course you do. Especially when it's Kylie Minogue's .

The tone has been set for the day, enjoy it!

Mic Drop!

Friday The 13th

Ride Hard
Madonna

Today is the day of superstition & Jason Vorhees, in other words break out the black cats and machetes and have yourself a Kiki!

Me on the other hand I like to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like...so I'm gonna make like Madonna seen here pedaling down the streets of London and hit the asphalt on my two wheeler.

Friday the 13th nonsense be damned, nothing is going to rain on this guy's parade. Seriously nothing is, there is zero percent chance of rain today in sunny Los Angeles, we are currently being held hostage by a heatwave after all.

Time to hit the shower and get my ride on!

Happy Friday the 13th... "Ki, ki, ki, ma, ma, ma"

Let's Get Acoustic, David Cook

Singer-songwriter and American Idol Winner David Cook has announced he will kick-off  an acoustic tour this fall in St. Louis, MO on October 25.  Tickets go on-sale Thursday, July 12. (visit davidcookofficial.com/events for tickets and info).

The tour will weave throughout the southeast and hit other major markets like Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York City. It’ll be a chance for fans to experience an up-close, intimate evening with David, as he performs songs from his brand-new EP, CHROMANCE, as well as other hits from his catalog.   The EP, which was released earlier this year, features all new material that was written over the past year and includes an ethereal mid-tempo spin on the Phil Collins classic, Another Day in Paradise.

If launching a tour and putting out a brand new EP wasn’t enough to keep Cook busy; this past April, he made his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and had the time of his life (no pun intended).  David is now set to reprise his performance in the starring role from July 17 through September 9 (tickets available at kinkybootsthemusical.com).

“I am so honored and excited to get to come back to the factory!  Kinky Boots is such a great show, made all the better by having an incredible cast, crew, and staff, and I can’t wait to help tell the story again!”

CHROMANCE  is available now through all digital retailers, including iTunes, Amazon and Google Play (view the official lyric video for David’s latest single: Gimme Heartbreak).
