Peter Facinelli Visits The Rachael Ray Show
The RACHAEL RAY show is getting swept up in Twilight mania, and has “New Moon’s” Peter Facinelli as a guest this Monday, November 23rd. Peter will be chatting about his wife’s performance on Dancing With The Stars, the craziness of Twilight’s success, and what the cast really does after shooting is done!
Peter on Jenny Garth’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars:
“Yeah I became a fan of the show just watching her dance. She used to dance when she was fifteen… so this opportunity came and I kinda talked her into it cause I thought this is an opportunity of a life time for you because she wanted to be a dancer when she was younger. And then I watched her at fifteen, and she wasn’t very good. So then I said oh no, but she actually got really good!”
Peter on his surprise about the success of Twilight:
“We knew there was a fan base of the books, no where near as big as it is now. We knew we had a responsibility to make a good movie for that fan base. So we went to work trying to make a good movie for that fan base, and then it kind of snowballed.
Peter on what the Twilight cast does in their spare time during shooting:
“Well we can’t go out as much. I remember like on the second one we went out a little bit and on the third one we just basically stayed inside all the time. Yeah in a group we just couldn’t go out. So we ended up spending a lot of time in rooms playing games. We actually played the Twilight game, the Twilight board game. People are like what do you guys do on your spare time, and we’re like nothing.”
I was going to try to attempt a weekend show, but that's like walking into a hurricane. I must say that it is PAINFUL to stay away. I am DYING to see 'New Moon'. DYING!

Lady Gaga Says Grace Jones Is Her Inspiration
Fuse, Madison Square Garden’s national music television network, is getting up close and personal with today’s top artists in its new one-on-one interview series “On The Record with Fuse.” Their latest victim... Lady GAGA!
Viewers can catch the singer on November 23 at 9pm ET as she sits down to chat about her upcoming tour, her fans and androgyny in women.
On the song PokerFace:
“Well that song was about fantasizing about women when I was in bed with my ex-boyfriend so I didn’t really want him to know because it bothered him, but I couldn’t help myself. And it was me struggling with my sexuality and my, not struggling with I should say, enjoying, celebrating and that was the inspiration behind the song.”
On Androgyny:
“Grace (Jones) is such an inspiration to me, which is why with all the rumors that have flown around over the year, I was always excited because the androgyny of the woman. It’s this kind of fascinating thing that nobody understands or wants to understand unless you’re in the beautiful subculture that is my fans and the gay community.”
On calling her fans “Monsters”:
“I see myself in my fans, and they see themselves in me. I felt like a freak for so long, in school, growing up, you know I wore a uniform, but when I went home I used to put makeup on in the house and I used to sleep with my makeup on. My mother used to say, ‘Where the hell are you going kid?’ And I’d say ‘Well, what do you think of Marilyn today? Or I did Judy Garland today, mom.’ It was my way of expressing myself, so I think that the kids in the audience, they feel like freaks too.”
On her Monster Ball tour:
“There’s a theme of evolution and change. So I begin as a cell and grow throughout the show. Tremendously innovative choreography. Insane fashion installations. It’s of course in the vein of what my aesthetic has become which is the work is always in some sense half performance art, half installation. So it’s both. And we’re doing things that have never been done before. And I’m playing all the music from The Fame, and all of the music from The Fame Monster and I’ve been telling my fans it’s a giant post-apocalyptic house party.”
Anyone planning on catching Lady Gaga's tour?
Guess Who?
ANOTHER celebrity is launching their very own jewelry line. Can you guess who it is? According to WWD, the collection is comprised of sterling silver and gemstone pieces, each inscribed with poetry and prayers of Masaru Emoto, the author of “The Hidden Messages in Water.”
When asked about the collection, this mystery celeb said:
“I fell in love with the individuality of the pieces, but more than that, the words that were written on them really resonated with the songwriter in me. I knew at that moment, for the first time, that through a whole other medium I would be able to spread inspiration and that’s what got me started.”
I hope to give people beautiful, unique pieces with messages that ignite them to find the best within.

Jennifer Garner Does The School Run
This time, Jennifer Garner brought Seraphina along to pick up Violet from school. Seraphina is adorable: she looks just like her daddy! I just want to give those cheeks a big squeeze :)
But I look at these pictures and realize this is why Jennifer is an actress and I'm not. There is no way I could stop and kiss my baby's cheeks with a gazillion paparazzi snapping my picture! I'd be running for the indoors- LOL.
Meanwhile, the Boston Herald reports that Ben Affleck is the "talk of the town." He's still there filming 'The Town.' It must be hard for them to be on opposite coasts like this!

Taylor Swift Spends Time With Her Fans
Taylor Swift isn't one to just zip through a crowd. She understands that her fans are important and actually takes her time greeting the crowd whenever she finds herself in one. Here she is signing autographs and taking pictures outside her London Hotel right before making her way to the 'Children in Need' event at the BBC.

Oprah Explains Her Exit While OWN Launch Is Announced
Oprah Winfrey explained why she was ending 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' on September 9, 2011.
"Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit," she said.
"I certainly never could have imagined the yellow brick road of blessings that have led me to this moment," she said.
"Over this holiday break, my team and I will be brainstorming new ways that we can entertain you and inform you and uplift you when we return here in January," she said. "And then, season 25 -- we are going to knock your socks off."
According to Nikki Finke, who broke the news about this announcement approximately two weeks ago, Oprah is ready to leave Chicago and move to Los Angeles. However, Oprah reportedly told CBS President Les Moonves she would not be moving her talk show to her cable network, OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network).
"I just announced it to my team and I feel great about it," sources tell me Winfrey said to Moonves.
"So you're going to do the show on Discovery?" he asked.
"No," Oprah assured him. "I'm not bringing The Oprah Winfrey Show to cable. I'll do something else with that channel."[M]y sources say that, instead of a carbon copy of her longtime daytime talker, she's now privately talking about hosting a show "that's smaller and different" on the Discovery Communications start-up OWN, aka the Oprah Winfrey Network...
Hmmm... maybe that's what Lisa Ling means when she warned Entertainment Tonight not to "count her out." On one hand, this is the end of an era, but then I realize that this won't happen for nearly two years (about 22 months).
Meanwhile, Discovery announced that OWN will debut in January 2011, eight months before Oprah's show ends. Are you interested in seeing what that's all about?

Nicole Kidman Isn't THAT Wild
In an interview with GQ magazine, Nicole Kidman was quoted as saying she was into "strange sexual fetish stuff." Now Nicole says her words were taken out of context.
"That's what I said in relation to my work. They left that part out. In terms of my work, yeah, I'm interested in exploring love, and so that comes in all different forms… In terms of my private life, I'd never reveal what I've explored in my private life."
Now that sounds more like the Nicole I know- keeping her private life private. Although it still sounds like a rather strange thing to say. Maybe she felt pressured to give an attention-getting quote?
