Zac Efron Sexes it up.

Zac Efron is sexing up his image by flirting with the cameras over at rolling stone. This boy knows how to work it, taking the camera and making it pool into his hands.
He's also enjoying a huge boost in his fame arena, and will be starring in the upcoming remake of Footloose. Thus, you can feast your eyes on this gorgeous hunk of man any time you want in your local tabloids.

Here's how to avoid looking like an idiot and avoiding the Tiger Beat section of your local news stand:

Step 1: Head to the trashy tabloids, honey.

Step 2. Grab the latest issue of Us Weekly with "My Wild Night With Brit" on

the cover.

Step 3. Towards the middle is the man candy.

Step 4. Relax knowing you've got a pullout poster of quality man material, and whether you're 18 or a 45 year old, you can now proceed to step 5.

Step 5. Fantasize knowing that noone knows your lusting habits for a disney channel heartthrob, because Britney's babies are on the cover. Which makes it seem like you care about kids in the first place.

Keep that foundation on your face girl!

In the South, keeping your foundation on is a hazardous and difficult job. But how is it most Southern women get it right? The ones we always see at our al dente soirrees with their foundation pooled in their cleavage all speak with an accent that harkens to a place farther north than the mason-dixon line. We've all been to that party, that barbeque, that lunch, where the makeup rolls off just as you roll up...Read More Here.

Gigli: Take 2.

Jennifer Lopez will be due a breakup before her latest film, El Cantante, translated, 'The Singer,' hits video stores. Her husband, Marc Anthony, plays her husband, Marc Anthony. Sound familiar? Of course. Recall failed boxoffice scum Gigli, which starred her then-fiance, Ben Afflek. Interestingly enough, J.Lo. must sense the impending doom, sparking her to defend the film amongst critics.

" I don’t know what movie they want to see, because this is the truth.”

Fans and critics alike are blasting the film, and even people who knew the main character in life are getting in on the action. According to MSNBC even Lavoe’s former bandleader, partner and producer Willie Colon, who also served as a consultant on the film headed online to express his disappointment.

“The creators of ‘El Cantante’ missed an opportunity to do something of relevance for our community,” Colón wrote in a Yahoo.com forum. “The real story was about Hector fighting the obstacles of a nonsupportive industry that took advantage of entertainers with his charisma and talent. Instead they did another movie about two Puerto Rican junkies… It’s difficult to comprehend how two individuals who are in the music business like Marc and Jennifer are not aware of the damage and the consequences of promoting only the negative side of our Latin music culture.”

The Charmflakes analysis? Why only blast a film like El Cantante? After all, droves of people turned out for the Transformers film, starring Shia Leboeuf. If that film doesn't cause humanity to question where we're going entertainment wise, then why fight a biopic as unrelated to the sequence of human events as El Cantante.

Courtney Love Accepts Apology

Lily Allen, that precocious girl-rocker from England, made disparaging remarks about Love on her myspace about a week ago. She said on her blog about Love:

"I am not bfs (best friends with) C (Courtney) Love, one night with her made me realise why Kurt (Cobain) killed himself. I nearly checked into rehab."

Allen, who in her apology claimed that hackers had hacked her myspace, says she feels sorry for the entire situation. Love wouldn't go out of the game crying silently. Here's her rebuttal blog:

"Thanks to Lily Allen for her lovely apologising for having had her MySpace broken into. "I wouldn't pick on me if I was Miss Lily, as it wouldn't take too much to swat, but we've known each other far too long, like each other far too much and if she was gonna say something nasty she has the acerbic wit and intelligence to say something cutting, that would actually really hurt, not some cliched hoary old chestnut some obsessed blogger would say. "She tells me her MySpace was broken into - even if I really think she did blog it mindlessly some 8am after being up far too long for a young healthy woman I don't care and I appreciate and accept her thoughtfulness for apologising for what was printed, if she is telling the truth and it really doesn't much matter - everyone slams everyone early in their careers, I mean how much more boring can you get? Does anyone care?"

Well said Courtney. We always knew we didnt.
