Joe Jonas & Taylor Swift an Item?

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

oe Jonas and Taylor Swift may not publicly confirm they’re an item, but come on, it couldn’t be more obvious that they’re hitting it. Case in point:

MTV VMA host Russell Brand said the Jonas Brothers personally requested to be introduced by Taylor Swift at Sunday’s show, where they’ll perform.

Russell Brand described the Jonas Brothers — who are up for Video of the Year for the song “Burnin’ Up” — as “God’s favorite virgins” and said that their performance “will make the concept of an afterlife seem tame by comparison.”

Wonder if Reg Jones thought the same thing after he deflowered America’s favorite non-virginal virgin at the time, 14-year-old Britney Spears.

Armstrong: ‘I’m No Sex God’

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Lance Armstrong

Kate Hudson’s ex Lance Armstrong has played down reports of his sexual prowess during his cycling heyday, insisting his intense training often left him too exhausted for love.

The seven-time Tour de France champion has been linked to a string of famous stars since divorcing wife Kristin Richard in 2003, including singer Sheryl Crow, young actress Ashley Olsen, and “Fool’s Gold” beauty Hudson.

But he claims he is far from the sex god he is perceived as by the media.

He tells the forthcoming issue of Men’s Journal magazine, “I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn’t one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi.

“The fact is that if you are riding your bike six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You’re just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone and a lower libido. But you know, I never got any complaints.”

The New Hollywood MECCA – The Kress

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Hollywood’s night life has a new MECCA playpen with a series of levels for your complete choice of drunken debauchery and enjoyment. Mike Viscuso, a club mogul in San Diego and owner of V2O, has migrated north debuting his multi-floor nightlife destination, The Kress. “I’m bring back an institution to Hollywood,” says Viscuso, and rightfully so given the enormous 4 story building. “The ceilings were totally destroyed,” he says of the historic Kress building at 6608 Hollywood Blvd., “but I hired a group of plastering artists and we patched all the destroyed sections…most people would have saved the 500K.”

Viscuso certainly spared no expense at The Kress, with a basement club straight out of Las Vegas (pictured), a ground floor restaurant, a third floor lounge begging for Paris Hilton and an inspired view-laden rooftop deck with “fire pits, a full service bar, restrooms and raised cabanas on both sides.”

The building, once Kress Department Store (and more recently Frederick’s of Hollywood), has beautiful bones that Viscuso refurbished at great expense. Original marble is everywhere at Kress and the ornate ceilings were restored according to the original 1930s design. “I was able to find the original blueprints that were hand drawn in the 1930s at UCLA,” says the 51-year-old. Mr. Viscuso is not simply looking to open another simple Hollywood nightclub, but creating, revitalizing, and branding another Hollywood landmark.

New Venue to the Scene – STORK Hollywood

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

It looks like exclusivity has taken on another look in Hollywood as STORK is the newest Hollywood hotspot to debut while priding itself in being one of the tightest velvet ropes in town. From the creative minds of such likes as DJ AM and Loyal Pennings that ran the highly successful LAX comes a post-industrial chic and sophisticated lounge like no other. Discreetly hidden in the Hollywood-Highlands complex, this bi-level space is lined with exposed brick and concrete throughout the 8,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor lounge reminiscent of the New York style-nightlife, but the Stork still exudes warmth, with cozy furniture and multiple areas to explore. See where all the celebrities have been playing and hiding. Due to strict club request, capacity will be limited and door will be selective so dress to impress or definitely know someone that knows someone.

Keanu (looking dumbfounded): “…….Morpheus??”
Me: “Hahaha…nah it’s me J-Train…wanting to make a donation dum dum..but i GOTCHA!”
