Warren Cuccurullo's Video

Anyone remember Warren Cuccurullo ? He was the guitarist of Duran Duran but mostly known from nude photo spreads for G magazine in 2000 (left). Now he has a solo (jack off) video which shows more than what you asked for, definitely NSFW.

Reese & Ryan Separated !!

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated. The couple's rep released a statement to TMZ Monday morning that says "We are saddened to announce that Reese & Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time." Sad news for the couple, good news for me.

For Your Convenience

Louis Vuitton opened another space at Bloomingdale's San Francisco which is part of newly extended Westfield Centre. This new space, which carries only bags and eyewears, is the third store in the city following the main store on Union Square - 233 Geary Street, and the one in Neiman Marcus. To give you the idea, each stores are about 1-2 blocks away from each other. Louis Vuitton always accommodates you people who need more bags and too lazy to walk...

Remember "Take That" ?

If you lived in other countries beside America and in my age group (30-35 years old), at one point, you were crazy of British boy band called "Take That". The boys are back. Recently they had a reunion tour and, with my finger cross, they're in the process of making new album.

New special limited edition book featuring a black guccissima slipcase from Gucci called, whatelse, “Gucci by Gucci”.

Must See TV

Yesterday I watch "Joan Rivers: Before Melissa Pulls the Plug" on Bravo which is part of the Bravo's Funny Girls special. She was pushing the envelope and very harsh, as usual, but also very funny. Check your local listing or you can watch the show online here.

Price Upon Request













I love when designers listed their products as "price upon request." If you ask "how much?", it means you can't afford them. Here are the example - above:
Burberry Prorsum fox-trim leather jacket and Chanel calfskin trolley case; below: Zac Posen for Pologeorgis mink shrug, Fendi weasel-and-fox bag with water-snake trim, Louis Vuitton mink hobo bag, and J. Mendel broadtail coat with fox trim.

Let's Move To New Jersey

I couldn't believe I said that... New Jersey is following Massachusetts to legalize Same-Sex Marriage. New Jersey’s highest court ruled on Wednesday that gay couples are entitled to the same legal rights and financial benefits as heterosexual couples, but ordered the Legislature to decide whether their unions must be called marriage or could be known by another name.

Brad on Babel

Babel is an interesting movie starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal. The movie begins with a tragedy striking a married couple on vacation which set in Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico and Japan. Babel refers to the "Tower of Babel", which was - according to the Old Testament (see Gen. 11:1-9) - a tower erected on the plain of Shinar in Babylonia by descendants of Noah. The builders intended the tower to reach to heaven.

Double Standard

Here's a hypothetical: if while on the set of their hit television series Grey's Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey, with his hands around the throat of a co-star, had said in reference to Isaiah Washington “I'm not your little n***** like Isaiah,” would there be an uproar in the mainstream media? But the reality was Washington put his hands around Dempsey's throat and saying, “I'm not your little faggot like ...” which referred to the costar, T. R. Knight whom later came out to People Magazine. Washington later apologize but I'm sure it'll not be forgiven. Your true self - bigotry - came out when you're angry or drunk, case in point - Mel Gibson.

Updated: Isaiah scheduled to appear on Ellen DeGeneres Show but cancelled last minutes due to the "schedule conflict", yeah right...

Madona on Oprah...via Satellite

Madonna speaks out on Oprah today about the adoption controversy. " I wouldn't say I'm hurt by it, but I would say I'm disappointed," she says. "I understand that gossip and telling negative stories sells newspapers. But I think for me, I'm disappointed because it discourages other people from doing the same thing—for anybody who had the idea that they, too, would like to open their home and give a life to a child living in an orphanage who might possibly not live past the age of 5. Anybody who had that idea would be discouraged from doing it. For me, that's what disappoints me the most. I feel like the media is doing a great disservice to all the orphans of Africa, period, not just Malawi, by turning it into such a negative thing. " SOURCE
