Nicholas Brendon was Xander on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' and in my opinion, sexy as hell. Sadly though, Brendon is having some problems with the law.
TMZ reports that Brendon, who was arrested last month in a drunken scuffle with police, has now been charged with resisting arrest, two counts of battery against a police officer and felony vandalism. The actor is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. If convicted, he faces a possible two year jail sentence and a $4,000 fine.
Officers were called to investigate a man causing a commotion in Venice, California, in March. Police claim that Brendon was inebriated and threw a few punches before attempting to flee, forcing police to use a Taser gun to subdue him. The actor was hospitalized and booked for felony vandalism after allegedly damaging property during the incident.
Brendon played vampire slayer sidekick Xander Harris for the entire run of the fantasy series. He recently appeared in eight episodes of 'Criminal Minds.'
This isn't Brendon's first struggle with alcohol. Zap2it.com reports that Brendon entered rehab in 2004, and released a statement saying, "After realizing I had a disease that was taking control of my life, I decided that the best way for me to regain my health was to enter a treatment facility. I'm looking forward to leading a healthy, sober life."
He told the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' official magazine at the time, "Knowing ['Buffy' fans] will be behind me, rooting for me as I go through this process, makes everything that much easier."

Nicholas Brendon Fought The Law...And The Law Won

Hump Day Humper
It's Wednesday and time to elect a Hump Day Humper. This week we elect Joe Manganiello to be the subject of our sexual desires.
A new addition to the True Blood cast this season, he is well known already by One Tree Hill fans where he played the sexy bartender Owen. He is coming on to True Blood as someone who could potentially drive a wedge between the show's core couple, Sookie and Bill.
He first came onto the scene in as Peter Parker's nemesis Flash Thompson in the first Spider-man film. After some other guest starring roles, he is now bound to hit fame as Alcide Heveraux on TB. And one more reason to watch, I hear he has already filmed his first nude scene. Looks like Alexander Skarsgard and Ryan Kwanten has some new competition.

Nicolette Sheridan Vs. ABC And Marc Cherry
Gossip Cop reports that on the heels of Nicollette Sheridan filing a $20 million lawsuit against “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry, in which she alleged he “took her aside and forcefully hit her with his hand across her face an
d head,” ABC has responded.
Today, ABC issued the following statement: “While we have yet to see the actual complaint, we investigated similar claims made by Ms. Sheridan last year and found them to be without merit.”
Well, that’s not how Team Sheridan sees it.
Via her attorney, Mark Baute, Sheridan slapped back at reports that questioned the veracity of her allegations.
According to Sheridan’s attorney: “Mr. Cherry’s behavior towards Nicollette was and is nothing short of abusive and appalling… Nicollette asked ABC for help and protection from Mr. Cherry’s abusive behavior, and ultimately, ABC was not willing or able to provide that protection.
“Sometimes the only way that a safe and normal work environment can be created is when a hard-working person like Nicollette stands up for herself and her rights… We expect the case to be hard fought, and it will not be a surprise if ABC and Mr. Cherry try to depict Nicollette to be something other than a team player and long-standing industry professional.”
SOURCE
In my opinion, I have heard many a things about the ruckus behind the scenes of Desperate Housewives. It will be interesting to see where this ends up and how both parties deal. I have strong reason to believe that Sheridan isn't doing this for press and there is actually merit to her story. Time will tell.
I wonder if Marc ever stuck the Golden Girls back in the day? I have a feeling Bea Arthur would have beat his ass.

Michael Lohan Engaged To Jon Gosselin's Ex!
Michael Lohan has announced his engagement to Kate Major. Yes, that Kate Major. She is known for dating Jon Gosselin right after his split from wife, also named Kate.
"She's been there for five years with me. I think a friendship is more important than anything when you have a relationship, and this is the strongest one in my life," Lohan, 49, tells UsMagazine.com. "[Two weeks ago], I went down to Florida with Kate to visit her dad. I was in a hot tub with her dad at their house, and I said, 'There's something we have to talk about.' He said, 'Oh my God, don't tell me Kate's pregnant!'" Lohan jokes. "I told him I was looking at the future, and I wanted to make it formal and take it to the next level. After that, he approved, then Kate and I discussed it and she discussed it with her dad."
Lohan admits that he wanted to wait to announce his engagement until the buzz about daughter Lindsay died down. In other words, once he was out of the spotlight again, he would announce this to get us talking about him, yet again.
Majorsays that she is "really happy." She's already started planning the circus and I'm sure we will be hearing about it for awhile.
"I have talked to some of the bridesmaids and we have discussed having the wedding later this year. It's going to be at Oheka Castle in New York. But right now, I'm just enjoying being engaged... We're really excited!"
Wonder how Jon feels about this development considering he and Michael were having a bro-mance for awhile. Bros over hoes, Michael. Bros over hoes.

Justin Timberlake Says Bye Bye Bye To Music?
Justin Timberlake started out as a member of the best boy band ever, *NSYNC. Below is proof that they were the best and if you don't like it, go cry in your Backstreet Boys pillow.
However, Justin seems to be pushing the acting career along quite well. The first acting role that earned his praise was his role in Alpha Dog. An amazing movie and I admit, Justin was good in it. With a great performance in Black Snake Moan and lending his voice to two Shrek movies, Justin hasn't released any music since FutureSex/LoveShow in 2007. He has Bad Teacher coming out with ex-Cameron Diaz and has signed onto a new film titles Friends With Benefits. Filming is currently taking place on Social Network, yet another movie that Justin has a role in.
I was a fan of Justin's music, but to each their own. I don't think he should turn his back on something that he is obviously so gifted at and something that made him who he is.
You have to admit. The MTV Music Awards have not been entertaining since the days of NSync, Britney, Eminem and Limp Bizkit. I mean, the performances were the only reason to watch, and NSync always had the best. They tore up the stage, dancing and singing for real! Even if Britney didn't really sing, her performances and dance numbers were pretty hot.
Can we get an NSync reunion preformance this year? NKOTB did it, why can't you? Poor Lance is going through withdrawl! Since he can hold a microphone anymore he has resorted to....well you know. I kid, but seriously. Get it together JT!

I was all ready to tell you about Justin Case and his latest antics due to trying to find love in all the straight places, however things changed.
At lunch today I caught up with some friends and an ex. As strange and awkward as it may have been, I heard a story that you all are going to love.
It all started a couple of weekends ago. A young television star, Tri-Sexual Tony was conducting business for his show and promoting it to secure another season. When it was all said and done, he was sitting alone in his hotel room and had an itch for some excitement. He decided to explore the Internet to try and pick up something entertaining to do. Something that a lot of celebrities do, no matter how stupid it sounds.What website does he go to? CraigsList of course, the one everyone goes to for a quick lay.
He found a woman's ad and answered it. After 2 hours of emailing back and forth and trading very naughty pictures, she agreed to come to his room. TST lay naked in the bed thinking that anyone would love to stumble upon a naked celebrity and probably looked very cocky.
But you can never trust those internet pictures and instead of the 21 year old college girl showing up, he was greeted by a 23 year old college male.
Of course he put up an argument, but the guy had already seen too much and had pictures. Even though the pictures weren't of the star's face, he wouldn't want them leaked. Then TST offered to let the boy please him orally while he talked dirty. The boy happily obliged, but after awhile TST flipped the boy over and gave it to him hard. And the boy pointed out that TST didn't seem to be new to the whole situation.
After the sex, which sounded hot from all of the details, TST threw some money at the boy and told him that if he kept it a secret, they could keep hooking up. Of course the boy wanted to, everyone does. But TST should watch his back because the boy is already bragging to friends and showing the pictures. How much longer until we get a new candidate for Penis Monday. One that EVERYONE would love to see.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy Split!
After 5 years, one of Hollywood's normal couples have split up. Jim Carrey sent out this tweet earlier today, “Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I’m grateful 4 the many blessings we’ve shared and I wish her the very best! S’okay!”
Not long after, Jenny spoke up via Twitter as well. “I’m so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart.”
This couple seemed to have it all together and looked like they would actually last. Sadly they didn't, but how great is it to see people being mature about breaking up. Plus, they beat the Tabs to the punch by releasing it on Twitter. Looks like they are both winners.

Sandra Bullock Speaks Out!
Thankfully, Sandra Bullock has broken her silence due to the sex tape rumors that have been circulating. As you read here earlier, the sex tape wasn't very flattering. As if any of them really are.
"There is NO sex tape," Says Sandra to People. "There never has been one and there never will be one."
Sandra hasn't spoken out nor been seen since the bomb exploded. She has been in seclusion and has only seen close friends. All it took was a dirty sex tape rumor to get her to speak up, which I'm sure was the reason behind all of this.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Sex Tape?!?
There is some dirty rumors circulating through town this morning and I want to warn you before you read this.
And by dirty, I do mean dirty. Look, I am going to take this bit of gossip with a hefty grain of salt and you should too. That said, as always, I am here to report rumors as rumors, and just because we like Sandra Bullock and feel bad for her, doesn’t mean we should pretend this bit of salacious gossip didn’t land in our laps. SO. According to a “bombshell new report” from gossip writer Ian Halperin, Jesse James has a copy of sex tape he made with Bullock and it is a doozy. Read all about it, after the jump ...
The video—and you may want to put aside your breakfast before reading further—includes James “smearing feces on Bullock’s upper lip during various types of anal sex, lots of profanity hurled from both parties, and a leather clad James, sporting a Hitler mustache with brown hat with a swastika, ramming a handcuffed Bullock’s ******* with a shotgun in his left hand.”
WTF?! I just cannot even fathom this being true, and if it is, I can’t imagine the video actually ever coming to light, because if I were Bullock I would pay any dollar amount necessary to keep it under wraps. But OMG, regardless, this story got so, so, so much worse.
RadarOnline is now claiming that the reason Sandra is taking her sweet time ending her five year marriage with alleged serial cheater Jesse is because he has got some serious dirt on her and she doesn't want him to go blabbing to the press. Sandra is known as one of the more low-key and private actresses in Hollywood, so spilling her secrets could not only damage her privacy but possibly her reputation.
A source tells the website that "the last thing [Sandra] wants is Jesse out there talking about her and talking about their marriage" and that "his behavior is so erratic that she doesn't want to send him over the edge." But what kind of dirt does Jesse have on her that could be so damaging to her public image?

Glee Fail?
Yesterday the cast of Glee performed at the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House and after their performance, they are receiving a lot of slack.
They performed a few tunes clad in red (a throwback to the series premiere) and finished off the afternoon with "Somebody to Love." Unfortunately, the video isn't spectacular — Cory Monteith's voice can barely be heard and the kids performing backup seem to be lip syncing. Luckily, Lea Michele's gorgeous vocals save the day, but overall the whole thing's kinda shaky (the croaking animal noises in the background don't help things). Apparently there were some mic problems, but it's hard to tell on a video stream. What do you think of the performance — ouch or overreacting?

Why One Life To Live Got Un-Gay
One Life to Live’s landmark same-sex duo, Kyle Lewis (Brett Claywell) and Oliver Fish (Scott Evans), will abruptly exit the soap next week, amidst speculation that ABC dumped them due to complaints from homophobic viewers. The guys’ final scenes together air April 12, when Fish, who’s a cop, goes to court and wins custody of baby Sierra Rose. Kyle, a doctor, is seen just once more after that, on April 16, confirming some huge DNA news to Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier).
None of the OLTL brass has been talking on the record about this controversial termination, which came three months before Claywell’s contract was due to expire. Claywell at least got official word from the show the day before the news broke. Evans, who is considered a recurring player and therefore not entitled to official notice, had to hear about his axing via Twitter.
At first, ABC tried to play down the double firing in a press statement that trumpeted the Kish story for its boldness and its GLAAD awards, claiming that the couple did indeed resonate with the audience, and making it seem as if their story had simply played itself out and come to a natural conclusion.
But, finally, we have some honesty and a little bit more clarity! In an exclusive statement to TV Guide Magazine, ABC Daytime PR chief Jori Petersen now says “The Kish story did not have the appeal we hoped it would. We are going to spend our time on stories that have a more favorable reaction from our audience.”
Naturally, the situation has the Kishinistas apoplectic. “It’s the most angry and vocal fan reaction to a firing I’ve ever seen and a lot of it is coming from straight women,” says Jamey Giddens, editorial director of the popular Daytime Confidential Web site. “This goes far beyond the response we got when Days of Our Lives fired Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn.”
Gay media, which applauded OLTL for its realistic and passionate depiction of men in love, is handling things way better than the fans. “Kish brought a lot of attention and energy to OLTL, so this is not a smart move from either a business or a karmic point of view,” observes AfterElton.com editor Michael Jensen. “Still, we shouldn’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. ABC made history here. The network deserves credit for making a lot of progress.”
Claywell seconds that emotion: “Pulling the story off the air is like taking two steps back but I don’t fault ABC,” the actor says. “The fact they let us tell this story at all is what’s important, and if I had to lose my job to get this on TV, then I’m proud of that. I’m just kinda sad and really sorry that there’s still so much fear and ignorance in our society. Maybe five years from now, this won’t happen to two other actors portraying this kind of story.”
Claywell suspects the writing was on the wall back on December 30, 2009 when OLTL showed Kyle and Fish in the throes of lusty sex, a first for gay males on a daytime soap (if you don’t count that down-low guy and the psychotic hermaphrodite on Passions). ABC chose not to promote the event in advance, as if hoping not to alarm or infuriate viewers. “I was definitely hurt by that,” Claywell says. “We should have gotten a lot more attention for those groundbreaking scenes. For them to not tell anybody that we were about to make history makes me think the wheels were already in emotion to get rid of us.”
Of course, it’s entirely possible Claywell and Evans might have survived had OLTL’s openly gay head writer Ron Carlivati not gone overboard with other gay-related stories. At the same time the Kish relationship was developing, nutjob Dorian (Robin Strasser) claimed to be a lesbian and began a faux romance with her campaign manager, Amelia (Tia Dionne Hodge), in order to win the town mayoral election. (In a plot twist goofier than Satan invading Salem, the outcome of the vote actually hinged on the LGBT community.) There was also a mass wedding involving more than two dozen same-sex couples, which triggered a feverish face-off between anti-gay protestors and the Llanview police, as well as a sub-plot involving Kyle’s former boyfriend Nick (Nicholas Rodriguez) getting gay-bashed.
“From the beginning, Scott and I were uneasy about that big gay political wedding,” Claywell admits. “We were telling a slow, subtle love story about two guys who just happened to be gay. We didn’t want to make it in-your-face, which is what the wedding was. It pulled us away from what we were trying to do. We wanted to exist separately from that. It was too much and, in a way, Scott and I became the sacrificial lambs.”
The firing will leave CBS’ As the World Turns as the only soap with vital gay characters right now, and that has AfterElton’s Jensen noting a disconnect. “Isn’t the goal of the soaps—and really all programming—to lure younger viewers?” he asks. “Well, it’s the younger viewers who are just fine about seeing gay people on TV. They are much more tolerant than older viewers. They live in a world where diversity is increasing and is an accepted part of life.”
Jensen adds that gay fans feel a sense of ownership when it comes to gay characters. “We have so few good representations out there that you become attached to the ones that do exist,” he says. “Obviously, we can’t demand that OLTL keep gay characters on its canvas. It’s their show, not ours. But we sure have a right to say ‘If you have no gay characters then you’re not doing your job when it comes to reflecting reality.’”
Right now, ABC isn’t concerned about that. OLTL hit its lowest ratings ever during the Kish romance, though the blame for this could just as easily be laid on the much-hated storylines involving toxic villains Stacy (Crystal Hunt) and Mitch (Roscoe Born) that were sucking up a lot of airtime during this same period. Whatever the case, there is much work to be done to win back the mainstream audience and right now the network can’t afford to care about Kish fans bailing.
“We know that, at the end of the day, soaps are a business, but I wouldn’t want to cater to an audience that was upset about watching a young, gay couple who were committed to each other and leading good lives,” says Daytime Confidential’s Giddens. “To end things this way leaves a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouths. To make the gay characters the scapegoats and to not give them a proper send-off is Bad PR 101. It’s a recipe to anger and enrage a fan base that’s been loyal and supportive of the show. Those fans might not be the core demographic OLTL wants but you’d think in this day and age—when everyone is worried about their ratings—that every eyeball ought to matter.”
ABC’s Petersen reminds us that Kish is not leaving town, and that we may see them again when there’s a brief need for a cop or a doctor. ”We are sunsetting the storyline but Kish will remain in Llanview,” she says. “The door is open.”
Claywell doesn’t think this is baloney. In fact, he’s strangely hopeful. “I can’t imagine that OLTL will never revisit this story,” says the actor. “Who knows? Maybe someday they’ll have us back and there will be a wedding for Kyle and Oliver. I would not be surprised if that happens before the end of time.”

Dear Gossip Boy
Dear @The_Gossip_Boy What's your go to song when doing karaoke?
@Miss_Pearson
@Miss_Pearson,
Depends on who I m with. If I am out with the girls, it is definitely Summer Nights from Grease. My go to song changes with every mood and the crowd. I will admit that show tunes are my favorite. I am a wannabe Broadway baby.
Dear Gossip Boy,
First, I love your column...extremely entertaining and I am hooked. So I realize that almost everything we see and hear regarding the goings on in H-town are usually part of some manip. I am an avid believer of the quote "don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see". So I noticed that Gossip Cop is constantly debunking stories regarding Blohan, and they take her word for it. So was this website started by a bunch of publicists and handlers? I'm sorry but if you take Blohan's word for it and consider that fact, I can't trust your intelligence much, no? Am I right to strip them of all credibility?
LOVES,
C
Dear C,
No matter how you spin the Lohan Watch 2010 Edition, you can see the poor girl tearing at the seams. As people watch her partying and falling flat on her face at 5 am, it has sadly become a national joke. What I don't understand is why no one is helping the poor girl. There is something in her life that is missing that she is trying to replace with drugs. Instead of shoving a camera in her face, how about someone shove her skinny ass into a rehab? That situation makes me sick because as much as the parents are bitching about her, no one is doing a damn thing to help her.
Can't wait to hear your take on Johnny Weir "outing" Evan as well as Anna Paquin saying she is Bi in the ad for "we give a damn". You rock!
Anonymous
Nonnie,
I think that Johnny Weir is a douche for outing Evan, if that's what you want to call it. As for Anna, I am glad that she felt the need to declare that she is bisexual, since it honestly wasn't much of a secret. However, I say it is awesome she did it and hopefully with the revolution that is obviously starting, we can change the way Hollywood looks at gays.
Gossip Boy,
What with all your tweeting about "To kill a mockingbird" last night, do you think you gave yourself away? Or, are you a fan of misdirection and screwing with our inquisitive and google happy minds?
Fred Smith
Fred Smith,
As sure as I am that I'm not the only person in the world to consider To Kill A Mockingbird their favorite book, I am also sure that people have many guesses as to my identity. One week someone thought I was actually Drew Barrymore. Do not think that everything thing I mention is a clue, just enjoy the ride.
GB,
Do you ever hear anything about Brad and Angelina? They are both looking pretty haggard, Brad, especially. He's aged 10 years in 4+ years! Add to that we've seen more of the entire family in the passed few weeks then we have since the duo got together.
Thanks,
Amy
Amy,
Poor Brad is having to put up with a lot and having as many kids as he does, it puts on the years. Not to mention that his baby mama is faker than hell, Brad has a lot contributing to his worsening looks. It's always sad when a twink becomes a daddy.
Dear Gossip boy....I am curious as to what is your take on "Aniston and Angelina"? Are you team Aniston or Jolie? What are thought about the Bounty Hunter....did you see it? Should Jenn just go away? I personally feel like her welcome is worn out on the big screen now that everyone seems tired of the love triangle....she's not really all that relevant anymore! What say you?????
Love your Blog!!! Keep on rockin me baby! lol
J&S
J&S,
Aniston would be okay if she spread her acting wings and finally left Rachel Green behind. As much as I am Team Jen, and I surely am, I am thinking that she has ridden the wave all the way to the shore and is now just standing on the sand looking like a fool. Bounty Hunter is hilarious and thanks for getting that song stuck in my head.
GB,
I am a big fan of the Scream trilogy as well and was wondering if you have any dirt on the cast? I know Neve Campbell is out of the spotlight but what about Scott Foley? I have loved him since Felicity. Thanks!!
Alexandra,
Scott Foley is a fine piece of meat if I have ever seen one. So easy on the eyes and quite the charmer I might add. I might also add that he finally has married and had a baby, even though I'm sure the betrayal after Jennifer Garner's attempt of a marriage with him was scarring. Scott is the kind of guy that every woman should want. I'm a little hot now.
Dear Gossip Boy,
Who do you think will be the next celebrity to come out. It seems that it is all the trend these days. Any easier for you now?
Farah
It is not going to be easier until everyone is okay with it. Not all of American can see a gay guy playing a Superhero. Some are still small minded enough to think that when they go to a movie it's to see the movie and it's called acting for a reason. Who the actor is should have no influence unless they simply cannot act. As for the next person, I keep hearing underground rumblings that a certain A-Lister is going to come out, but only to gain leverage before pictures of him being gay come out.
Gossip Boy,
Any chance on Life UneXpected coming back next year? You got me and some friends hooked on the show and now I am hearing that it might be canceled.
Gary
Gary,
Over on E!Online they have Save One Show and you can vote to save LUX. It's in the Watch With Kristen section. You can also vote to save One Tree Hill, Parenthood, Chuck, and Better Off Ted. They also have a wild card section where you can bring back a show that was eliminated. My guilty pleasure is Melrose Place, so I recommend you try and bring that one back as well.
I need some Jensen news. Are he and Danneel getting married next month? Any chance that it will be called off? I choose to think that Jensen is hiding something.
Lynn
Lynn,
Jensen and Danneel's wedding is coming up and will probably go off without a hitch. Jensen and Danneel have some secrets that they are working to keep well hidden and though Danneel is only a television actress, she can act her ass off when need be. Plus, she is better at selling herself than anything else.
I know that this is old news, but Larry Birkhead always turned me on. I got pinged by him and I cannot give up the fact that he is gay.
Ryan
Ryan,
You are not the only guy that has been pinged by Larry Birkhead. That guy has had rumors following him forever, and I also think he is do-able.
Gossip Boy,
Any chance that Jared and Gen are actually in love? And what about his breakdown? Due to hiding his gay affair with Jensen?
Gina
Gina,
Have you not ever had a day where you just loose it? I mean, we all breakdown sometimes. Who doesn't? You seem mean so I will not be answering your question. Good Day.
Gossip Boy,
I love you way more than Ted. He seems to be old, washed up and paid off. Are Robsten good? And what is the deal with Taylor Swift? She seems to be all over the place.
Diedre
Dee,
Taylor is all over the place, she always has been. Girl is finding her sexuality and losing her innocence right before our eyes. Maybe she can hook up with a vocal coach and nail two birds with one stone. Rob and Kristen are fine. And so is Tom.
GB,
Are they are actors who are thought to be gay but in reality they are 100% straight? And vice versa?
Ally
Ally,
I can think of three stars who's sexuality would throw you for a loop. One is considered very straight, but it not. I know one who people swear up and down is gay, but he love the va jay jay. And there is a third guy who I know that is considered very calm but will do anyone and anytime. He finds fans on Myspace and actually hooks up with them.
GB,
How is Justin Case? I have a guess for Sunshine and was wondering if she was a blond? Also, is RD called Dark for a reason, such as skin color? Is Justin Zac Efron?
Peri
Peri,
Justin is moving on and I have a story about him for tomorrow. He is not Zac Efron, but you are very close, Love. Sunshine is in fact a blond and RD is called RD just because he is like a storm cloud rolling in that is going to fuck your day up. Sunshine and RD are pretty much over after some new developments.

Jesse James Drops Out Of Rehab
After about a week it seems that Jesse James has dropped out of rehab. His stay was supposed to be 45 days but after hearing of security breeches and leaks to the media from his camp, James decided that he needed to be on the outside world doing damage control.
The list of women that he had affairs with continue to grow and moving vans were spotted outside of the home that he shared with wife Sandra Bullock and rumors of divorce papers being filed have run rampant. The good news out of all of this for Sandy is that she and douche bag signed a pre-nup.
But you have to wonder if Sandy had any idea that this was going on. Getting away with one girl, yes I get that. Maybe even two. But come on, I mean how many women is he able to get away with doing without Sandy noticing something is up? Could this have possibly been a marriage of convenience?
Either way, it looks like this smoke isn't clearing for awhile. Sandy is doing the right thing by staying in seclusion. But I hope that when it is all said and done, the strong willed Bullock emerges and shows those hoes that they messed with the wrong woman.

Jensen Ackles Makes My Clothes Fall Off

Remember Baby-Sitters Club??
In 1986, author Ann M. Martin introduced readers to a girl named Kristy Thomas and her Great Idea. Originally meant as finite series, The Baby-Sitter’s Club became a middle-grade publishing phenomenon, running from 1986 to 2000, and inspired several spin-offs, a movie and a short-lived television series–not to mention numerous real-life counterparts.
Women who grew up reading the books can still tell you which babysitter they most wanted to be like (Boy-Crazy Stacey, anyone?). “As I was touring for other books I’ve written in the last few years, I began to meet more and more older fans–fans who were in their twenties and thirties–who read the books when they were kids and said, ‘We loved the Baby-Sitter’s Club books but we can’t find them anymore’,” said Martin.
Children’s publisher Scholastic hopes a new generation of girls will discover the BSC this April, when they reissue the originals and release the series’ first new book in a decade, a prequel aptly titled The Summer Before. But can the wholesome babysitters compete in a market dominated by brooding vamps and gossiping Upper East Siders? Speakeasy spoke with Martin about the Baby-Sitter’s Club re-launch and the timeless appeal of the girls from Stoneybrook.
The Wall Street Journal: How did you decide to write a prequel?
Ann M. Martin: Many people had mentioned or suggested sequel ideas to me for various reunion books: high school reunion, college reunion or the members of the Baby-Sitters Club are all grown up and have kids of their own. And I thought about all of these ideas. But my favorite age group to write about is that very solid middle grade age group, and it was much more appealing for me to write about the characters when they were at the same age or even a little bit younger. So I began to think about what might have led the original four characters to start the Baby-Sitters Club and why it was so important to each of them.
Many of your original readers are in their twenties and thirties now, yet still love the books and are active fans. Are you surprised by the continued interest in the series of your adult fans?
It does, but I also find it very gratifying to know that the characters had that much influence over them and that the readers remember them fondly. It means a great deal to me. I hadn’t expected it but I think it’s wonderful
Today, a lot of people talk about the fact that kids are growing up too fast. What makes the BSC girls appealing role models for kids?
I used to get tons of letters from kids who compared themselves to the members of the Baby-Sitter’s Club and usually tried to find one character with whom they identified with most closely. Lots of kids found things they identified with in each character, but I think the fact that that the readers could so easily identify with the characters make them sort of timeless. The issues the characters tackled twenty-five years ago are not really so different than the issues kids today tackle. Yes, kids today have iPods, cell phones and all sorts of things that didn’t exist in 1986, but what are the things that are most important to them still? Their families, friendships, issues surrounding school. I have a nephew who’s twelve now and he, of course has an iPod and a cell phone and likes to use the computer, but his passion in life is baseball. And that doesn’t make him terribly different from a kid in 1986 or even a kid in 1940.
Despite the fact that she had diabetes, for readers, Stacey was the girl they most wanted to be. What do you think attracts people to her character?
I think that was actually it right there, that Stacey did have a lot of things to cope with in her life–also her parents go through a divorce in the series. So she faced a lot of challenges and she was popular. She had close friends and I think that kids were really able to relate to that, to know that because you face, for instance, a medical issue or something that’s going on with your family doesn’t mean that you can’t also overcome it and have a pretty normal life, which is what Stacey had. Also I think they thought she was cool that didn’t hurt!
People loved Claudia because she was the cool, artsy one and was always putting together some great outfit. How did you come up with her ensembles book-to-book?
Well, I have to say, not being any sort of a fashion plate myself…when I was creating Claudia I wanted to create a character that was very creative, very artistic, and I wanted Claudia to express that in her style of dress as well as the projects and things that she was interested in. But coming up with the ideas for her outfits, honestly, I was just looking though clothing catalogs, seeing what kids were wearing on television shows. Some of it came right of my head, but she wasn’t based on anybody in particular and her clothes weren’t based on any particular designer or anything.

Jake Gyllenhaal In San Fran
Jake Gyllenhaal appears at the 2010 WonderCon Convention over the weekend in San Fransisco, California. Jake was joined by Jerry Bruckheimer and Mike Newell to promote their upcoming release of The Prince Of Persia movie.
No one mentioned or even brought up the blogger who accused Jake of hitting a female that was with the blogger one night at a bar in Montreal where Jake is currently filming Source Code. Jake looked in good spirits and stayed close to a friend or two that was with him.

Joe And Demi's Grocery Store Make-Out
Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato were spotted at Erewhon Foods grocery store in Hollywood on Saturday afternoon (April 3). They couldn't keep their young paws off of each other and were making out while waiting in line. A witness said that the display was so cute, it was sickening. Guess that we were all wrong about this little couple. I mean it's not like they knew that they were getting photographed about 25 different times.
