"I've written some really, really deeply sexual things on some of the cards I've given him for opening night. But just to wind him up, you know. He's great. He's a truly remarkable man. You know, if I was gay or a female I'd, well, just want to marry him. He's gorgeous, and he's a really cool bloke as well. He's great." – Daniel Radcliffe mooning over his Equus costar Lorenzo Pisoni. (Contact Music) ...

Looks like Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, 2005's MTV Awards Best Kiss winners, are gonna go boldly where others have gone before. A close friend of Gosling's told Zack Taylor at Hot or Not, "Ryan has already bought her the perfect ring. Whether it's a present or for a pending engagement, I cannot say. What I do know is that they have been looking at houses together in Toronto and LA and are ready to take the next step. They've been through a lot over the past couple years, but have survived it all. It's getting very serious, ...

While Shia LaBeouf's Eagle Eye continues to hold the top spot at the box office, the 22-year-old's actual eye isn't feeling so good. It's reported that LaBeouf was struck in the face by a prop (don't laugh) on the set of the Transformers sequel he's shooting in LA, and required stitches to close a gash below his eyebrow. Director Michael Bay has already had to tweak the script to include the splint and bandages the star wore on set after being injured in that car crash, now there's the cut above his eye. Perhaps Bay should just get rid ...

If in fact the remains of Kurt Cobain were stolen from Courtney Love's house in May ("They're all I had left of him," Love wailed at the time), they are now allegedly in the possession of Australian artist Natascha Stellmach, who currently has them displayed in the "I Just Wanted You to Love Me" death-themed group exhibition at Berlin's Wagner + Partner galley. Stellmach, who intends to smoke Cobain mixed with hash in a doobie at the end of the show, won't say how she acquired the ashes, only that it's "confidential and kind of magic. They came ...

I never make mistakes. I set examples of what not to do. ...

When I was younger this is what political speeches were like. This speech, however, was delivered just this past July by AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Richard Trumka. ...

The rumor earlier this week was that Palin had been unable to name ANY Supreme Court decision other than Roe vs. Wade. The video reveals, however, that she is simply unable to name any other Supreme Court decisions with which she disagrees. Any decent American school kid knows that when you are asked that question, the easy answer is always the Dred Scott decision. So...do we think she couldn't come up with that or actually thought it was a good decision? ...

Ron Paul, a better libertarian and speaker than Bob Barr, explains his opposition to the current blank check before Congress. You have to liquidate those mistakes. Those mistakes were made due to monetary policy. So you have to allow the market to adjust prices downward. And that's what we're not allowing to do. If there are too many houses and the prices are too high, the sooner we get the prices down to the market level, as soon as we quit trying to encourage more housing -- this is what we're doing. They're trying to stimulate houses and keep ...

As the new Fashion Director for Instinct Magazine, Sean Krebs enjoys many perks...one being that he gets to hang out with half-naked models - like Kyle Ledeboer and George Serfes in "Black & White" for Instinct's October issue. But Sean's favorite perk (when not ogling hot boys in barely there briefs) is sharing his knowledge on great fashion, style and trend news - all of which you'll find in his monthly Style Guyde. (You don't wanna miss the monthly giveaways too!). And speaking of giveaways...because Sean is so giving, he sent these ...

I went to tonight's meeting of the "Downtown Specific Plan Committee" which was an informal, public meeting. The best news is that the new sound system at the Carl May Center seems to be mostly installed and is fabulous! Wireless microphones with great pickup and lots of speakers, including one in the men's room so that the mayor can call the rest of the city council back to the dais. Now when the mayor speaks it sounds like she's announcing a departure from Grand Central. Otherwise, the meeting was Jerry Ogburn and Rudy Acosta running over the basics, design concepts, land ...
