Awww…hell no! Just when Andre 3000 broke news about prepping a new Outkast album, VH-1’s Flavor of Love and Charm School Shay “Buckey” Johnson accidently slipped news about her and Mr. Benjamin being an item on satellite radio show yesterday. According to the lovely folks at Sohh, “Buckey” made it seem like they were on a newfound couple status…sorry to say- sounds like another case of a jumpoff chick. There’s just something rather odd about this union, if it indeed it’s true, but it ain’t. I highly doubt Andre would even waste his precious time with some trashy 2 dollar reality TV reject. SORRY “BUCKEY” WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE!

tuesday top ten: new series for the list lover in you and the list maker in me
I wasn’t going to go here but as I logged into my blogger HQ Britney Spears started playing on my iTunes (to paraphrase the song she’s singing to me right now: she drives me crazy. Seriously, girl, pull it together). You may have heard a million times in the past 24 hours that Britney Spears has shaved her head. Some people look hot with a shaved head (Natalie Portman, take a bow). Some people do not (sorry Britney). I shaved my head last week but somehow I didn’t end up on CNN or ET. What gives?
10 Favorite Bald-Headed Characters
This list is dedicated to Oscar, the most coveted bald-headed man on the planet.
10 Channing Tatum. Shaved heads count. Any excuse to post pictures…
09 “Tommy” Hugh Jackman in The Fountain. Hugh has beeyootiful hair but if you’re gonna be straight up bald for a third of a movie, you might as well pair it with pajamas, tai chi and floating bubbles of light for the maximum memorable factor (previous Hugh drooling)
08 Silver Surfer. A literal embodiment of the “chrome dome” I loved loved loved this character in the comics. But I can’t believe they’re going to try and movie-ize him. This is not a transferrable character… on account of the unintentional giggles factor. A character who flies around on a surfboard through outer space? In a movie?
07 Bruce Willis. If we’re talking action stars, give me Willis’s empty dome over Nic Cage’s plugs and wigs any second of any day forever. Thank you.
06 Bjork in the “Hunter” video. Bj rk doesn’t look conventionally attractive bald (Britney is not alone) but one of the greatest things about this icelandic genius is her complete lack of vanity. Everything is in service to the art. And this video is striking.

05 Sin ad O’Connor back in the day. It started with the totally brilliant “The Lion and the Cobra” which we 80s new wave kids worshipped. The rest of the world freaked out en masse when “Nothing Compares 2 U” arrived and shot to the top of the charts. I never thought I’d be comparing Sin ad to Britney but she also kinda lost it in the fires of white hot fame. Not everyone can handle it.
04 “Ripley”. Never mind that pesky prison colony lice infestation that prompted the buzz job–this was a great look. Somehow Sigourney Weaver’s signature character was even fiercer and sexier in the underappreciated Alien .
03 “Colonel Kurtz” in Apocalypse Now. Our first glimpse of Marlon Brando as the mad Colonel all bathed in shadows has to be one of the great entrances in film history. (personal canon entry)
02 Yul Brynner as “Rameses” in The Ten Commandments I know it’s terrible but I always wanted him to win when I watched this Biblical epic as a kid. Also: The King and I. “Etcetera etcetera etcetera”
01 Professor Xavier. Because all my life I wanted to attend “Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters” in New York. I wanted to fly in the Blackbird. Take classes with Kitty Pryde. Train the Danger Room with Cyclops. And chase Nightcrawlers tail … TMI. But anyway. I love Charles Xavier in print and onscreen (Patrick Stewart didn’t disappoint in the films) and it’s wonderful that there’s at least one iconic bald comic book character that’s not a super villain.

Someone with experience of our often-cited massage-therapist-loving Hollywood star writes in with a description of exactly how he hits on them: “He tells the therapist that he’s had so many massages he’s become an expert - then tries to get him on the table so he can massage him.”

If you trust the calendar, summer is one month away. But why trust the calendar when the summer movies are already playing? It’s the ‘Lusty Month of May’ so herewith a tour of ten men who will (hopefully) be turning up the temperature on the big screen. Thank god for air conditioning. Consider them fodder for your daydreams on the beach before your evenings at the movie theater.
Pssst 1. No May releases included –thus no Pirates. Depp and Bloom won’t be hurting for coverage elsewhere.
Pssst 2. Next week, the ladies…
10 Bruce Willis - Live Free or Die Hard
Oh, daddy! I was surprised to find myself thrilled for the return of this superhero franchise. Oh, c’mon…John McClane might as well be wearing tights and cape he’s so damn indestructible.
09 James McAvoy - Becoming Jane
One of last year’s breakout actors is back with a new spin on the cocksure careless flirt he excelled with in The Last King of Scotland. Bonus points: He gets naked again. Anne Hathaway likes what she sees. Don’t you? [more on McAvoy]
08 George Clooney - Oceans 13
I’m demoting all the “sexiest men alive” a bit. Just to play fair. I know that some people find the Clooney unbearably cocky/smarmy. But humor is a great aphrodisiac and he has just the right blend of classic appeal and comic timing –love his broad roll of the eyes in this trailer reacting to Andy Garcia’s “I was born ready” [more on George]
07 Bj rn Hlynur Haraldsson - 11 Men Out
This 32 year old Icelandic actor stars as a soccer player who makes a media splash when he comes out of the closet in this sports comedy from Iceland (pictured right -”I’ll give you a story that sells”). Bj rn looks a bit like Dominic West with a smudge of Heath Ledger (?) On the silent serious side in photos. Hopefully there’s a fun side. I found one smile for this collective photo op below.
06 Patrick Wilson - Evening
Probably heading for the hall of fame. But after the workout he got as the object of lust in last year’s suburban marital drama… well, that’ll be tough to top. I’m thinking he’s closer to a PG thrill for Evening’s Claire Danes than that decidely R rated plaything he was for Kate Winslet.
05 Daniel Craig -The Invasion
Another hall of famer. But… he gets enough play here @ The Film Experience already and how much sexiness do they really need in this Body Snatcher rethink? Not that he won’t bring it anyway… I’m considering this a mere warmup to the rematch with Invasion co-star Nicole Kidman in The Golden Compass at the end of the year. [previous TFE Craig-centric stuff and also check out trailer excitement over at MNPP]
04 Arthur Dupont -One to Another
I figured I should throw a bone to someone in the younger range. I’m picking this 22 year old Gallic actor. Why? Well, it’s just on faith that the French know what they’re doing when it comes to cinematic sex. Dupont’s film (Chacun sa nuit is the French title) asks him to be the object of desire for men, women, and even (or especially) his sister. Let’s hope he lives up to his plot purpose. I thought about giving this one to Charlie Cox (Stardust) but decided to go foreign instead. Shia LaBeouf (The Transformers) was another option but I’m guessing he doesn’t get a polysexual groove on in that film. That would give “transformer” another meaning entirely.
03 Chris Evans - Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
‘Stop drop and roll’ He’s always on fire. He was the only good thing about the first movie. And he’ll surely provide the spark again. And…my oh my it’s a busy year for him.
02 Brad Pitt - Oceans 13
Perpetually the hottest man on earth. the galaxy. the universe. To play nicely with others, you have to continually demote him when you’re listing. I love him in the Oceans movies. Effortlessly sexy/funny Pitt is often (though not always) preferrable to effortfully sexy/dramatic Pitt. [a lot more Brad]
01 Matt Damon - The Bourne Ultimatum and Oceans 13
He’s getting closer to the big screen’s MVP status every year. One strong performance after another and this summer he has the unique distinction of headlining the only third sequels of the year that probably won’t suck. Plus there’s that hunky masculinity, the quiet intensity and, well… the big guns that have led some people — I’m not naming names– to copious drooling.
If you wanna make your own list, rank them in the comments.
If you’re a picky, cast some aside for your own personal beach season fantasies.

Papa Don’t Preach
The talk show queen told the Daily News that she was shocked when the paper called to get a comment from her about the book since it was the first she had heard of it.
“One of my assistants said, ‘The Daily News is calling. They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.’ I said, ‘That’s impossible. I can assure them it’s not true.’
“But then my sister said, ‘I think you should call your father.’ I called him and it turned out he is writing a book. The worst part of it was him saying, ‘I meant to tell you I’ve been working on it.’ “
“The last person in the world to be doing a book about me is Vernon Winfrey. The last person.”

Paula Abdul reportedly broke her nose on Saturday when she tripped while trying to avoid stepping on her Chihuahua Tulip. Her rep says:
“She went to the doctor and she did break her nose, but she’s moving on and doing great” Brokaw says. “She looks terrific. If you didn’t know she broke her nose, you’d never guess anything happened to her. She is in pain. No question about that. But she’s standing 10 feet from me and you’d never know anything happened to her. There are no bandages. She’s got some bruises on her arms and on one of her legs.”
Who the hell breaks their nose trying to avoid stepping on a Chihuahua? It’s not like her floor was covered with banana peels or she was wearing roller skates at the time. Although I guess this is Paula Abdul we’re talking about. It’s amazing she was sober enough to even be standing. Source
