If you're a true Potterhead, chances are you're currently experiencing cold sweats, sleepless nights and dizzy spells as you try to contain your anticipation for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1." And while we can't make the November 19 release date get here any quicker, we do have some news (and an exclusive clip) that should make the wait a tad more bearable.
This past Tuesday "Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Ultimate Editions arrived on DVD and Blu-ray, packed with loads of never-before-seen extras, deleted scenes and collector's items. The exclusive "Prisoner of Azkaban" Blu-ray extra below shows how F/X wizards created a giant troll. Hey, we know it's not "Deathly Hallows: Part 1"... but hopefully it helps the edge off.
Are you going to check out the "Azkaban" and "Goblet" Ultimate Editions? And just how pumped are you for "Deathly Hallows"?
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone must be relieved!
Islamic extremist Zachary Chesser, otherwise known as Abu Talha al-Amrikee, has pleaded guilty to the following counts:
-communicating threats
-soliciting others to threaten violence
-material support to Somali Islamic militant organization Al-Shabab.
Chesser has created several websites where he's called for violence against Americans.
Most notably, he's called for violence against the South Park creators, as a response to the 200th episode of their cartoon, where they made perceived slights against Islam.
Thoughts???

Michael Lohan, the fame-hungry estranged ex-con father of Lindsay Lohan, is known for doing some pretty dumb things … his hypocrisy is entirely laughable and nothing that he says can ever be taken seriously. It’s common knowledge that Lohan has never met a camera that he didn’t like … he’s been know to offer his $0.02 on pretty much any subject, and his most notable favorite subjects are his daughter Lindsay and his ex-wife Dina Lohan. Today, Michael Lohan has issued an official statement to CNN that makes clear that he will no longer be issuing statements:
In recent weeks, Daddy Lohan has been doing everything possible to try and weasel his way into the Betty Ford Center so that he can get close to his rehabbing daughter Lindsay … who has made it very clear that she wants NOTHING to do with him at all. Foiled at every turn, Michael has been very free with his official statements on his daughter’s troubles … but no more. According to his latest statement, Michael Lohan will be offering no more statements about his daughter or his ex-wife. After the jump, read Michael Lohan‘s official statement about the end of his official statements …
“After serious thought and conversation last night, with someone who means alot [sic]to me. I am making this statement and fully intend on living by it.
With all due respect to those who have both gotten on my nerves for reporting things that weren’t true, ( as well as things that were), I want to make a public statement that I will not be commenting on ANYTHING relating to my daughter Lindsay, or ANYTHING my ex wife Dina, or any ‘sources’ related to her, might say.
After all the things said and the incidents which have transpired, I realize that no matter how wrong or right I may have been, at the end of the day, I was wrong for offending my ex wife and my children. Because of the spotlight and scrutiny we have been under, as well as my own “pride,” which has caused pain to my mother, (deceased father), brother, sisters and their sibling[s], I realize how my statements and actions have had a ripple effect on all of them. If it was me alone, it would be one thing, but I’m not. The things I have said and done, have cased hurt , pain and embarrassment for all of them.
That being said, I make this statement in humble supplication. And NO MATTER what accusations, lies or conjecture are disseminated to the public, about me, for the sake of the ones I love and with hope of creating peace, I WILL NOT respond , in ANY way, to what is said or done, to me.
MY family’s health and well being matters too much.
For the sake of those I offended, I apologize and ask their forgiveness. But even if they can’t find it in their heart to forgive, like I forgive them. I KNOW that God will have the last word and defend me in His own way.
So please refrain from from calling or contacting me.”
You’ll pardon me if I choose to not believe Michael Lohan‘s statement. Man, would I LOVE for him to keep his word and shut up forever … but, alas, I don’t believe it … not for a single second. What do y’all think? Is Michael Lohan actually capable of keeping his promise to never speak to the media again?

Wouldn't this be a TWIST!
There is some interesting speculation floating around today attempting to shine some light on what led Christina Aguilera to file for a divorce from her husband, Jordan Bratman. Once source is reporting that a "major factor" that led to the split was Xtina's "close, emotional friendship" with Lindsay Lohan's ex, Samantha Ronson!
Is this code for something???
Sources say that Jordan was feeling "less than a man" because of all the his wife was spending with Sam and was "frustrated" that Christina seemed more interested in spending time with Sam than him. The source adds:
“Christina’s been friends with Sam for a while, like they all went to Cabo in September with Nicole Richie, but they were hanging out a lot more in recent months, and they created a new posse of girls that Christina hung out with, so it started to be really frustrating for Jordan, that she had this relationship with these girls, but particularly this close one with Sam."
Wow! Wouldn't that be something?!
Wonder what Lindsay will have to say about this!

Earlier this week, after we learned about the break-up of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, David went on The Howard Stern Show to talk publicly about the circumstances that led to the end of his marriage … offering very personal information about his relationship with his wife and the woman he’s been sleeping with since the couple’s separation. In hindsight it appears that Arquette has seen the error of his ways and has offered a public Twitter apology for his comments … read on:
Thank you all for your Love and support at this time. I’m trying figuring out how to be the best person I can be. / but it’s been a process of trial and error. I went on Howard Stern yesterday to provide clarity and honesty about what I’m experiencing / but while doing that I shared too much…it’s alright for me to be honest about my own feelings but in retrospect some of the information / I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled..Life is a process of spiritual evolution / I’m sure Courteney and myself will emerge from this painful time better people for what we’ve learned.
Yeah, I’m sure David Arquette is a nice guy … but I can’t help but think of him as a doofus. I cannot believe that he would go on a national radio program and share all those intimate details about his marriage and NOT think it was a very bad idea at the time. My guess is that someone had to tell him that he over-shared … and I’m guessing that person was his estranged wife Courteney Cox. You know, at least he apologized. That’s something, right? LOL.

Just lovely!
Check out (above) the living legend herself, Bette Midler, presenting P!nk with 'Ally For Equality' Award at the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner on Saturday!
P.S. Take notice, Bette, that we're posting your speech in its entirety! You're not being misquoted! LOLs!
Last Saturday we got to see some photos of actor Tom Cruise on the Prague set of his new sequel film Mission: Impossible 4 … today we get to see new photos of Tom on set, but this time he’s taking a bit more of an active role in filming … by doing his own stunts:
Tom Cruise showed off why he’s one of the highest paid action stars in the world as he filmed some daring stunts in Prague earlier today. The 48-year-old is currently in the Czech Republic working on the fourth instalment in his hugely popular Mission: Impossible Franchise. As well as his impressively limber moves Cruise also showcased his impressive toned physique as he stripped to the waist. Cruise looks to be in peak physical condition, with rippling arm muscles, a defined, washboard stomach and a six-pack many men half his age would kill for. Hanging from wires attached to the waistband of his dark green trousers, Cruise hung onto a pulley as he sped down a zip line that was suspended between buildings. Reprising his role as secret agent Ethan Hunt, Cruise simulated leaping from the third floor of a building onto a moving truck. Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner will be joining in the action with Cruise this time around, starring as Cruise’s number two in the movie. It has been rumoured that producers are setting Renner up as a possible replacement for Cruise in future Mission instalments, although the mega-star is expected to reprise his Hunt role for the fifth movie. In addition to Renner, Paula Patton and Josh Holloway have been added to the cast, along with returning cast members Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames.
Yes, Tom Cruise did get half-nekkid to film these new scenes. Wanna see what he looked like flying around Prague on suspension wires while shirtless? Check it out, after the jump …
I have always been impressed with Tom‘s affinity for doing his own stunts. While the work that he does may be dangerous, it also looks like a lot of fun. Truth be told, I’ll prolly end up seeing M:I4 when it eventually gets released … I can’t wait to see how this scene in particular turns out. So … Tom shirtless … what do YOU think?

It is time, once again, to say hello to the Hot Dude of the Week. This week’s specimen of Hot Dudeness was photographed by the extremely talented Rick Day, who never seems to run short on Hot Dudes to photograph. Say hello to Chris Fawcett, in all his bright white undies wonder:
I just love photos like this one of Chris here. No fuss, no muss … to flexing, no bells and whistles. Just plain hotness. MMMM. Enjoy :D

Inspired by my renewed interest in video games lately, I finally managed to buy a copy of the new game Transformers: War for Cybertron for the Nintendo DS:
I’ve been meaning to get this game since it was released last Summer because my dear friend Darion is responsible for the game. He was the head honcho in charge of the game’s creation at Activision so it’s pretty cool being able to play a video game that your friend produced. The game is available in Decepticons version and Autobots version (naturally, I went for the bad guy Decepticons version). I haven’t been able to play with it too much but I did spend part of my evening last night figuring things out. It’s a fantastic game … and I couldn’t be more proud of Darion’s hard work :D
Tonight, David and I have plans to attend an event for Ralph Lauren but I have an appointment that might impede my attendance. I’m gonna try to work it all out as best I can so … we’ll see. Thankfully, the rain has gone away here in LA and the sun is shining again. Temps are supposed to go up a lot this weekend so I’m really looking forward to the warmer weather :D
PS: Congrats goes out to Pink reader Katrina who won the tickets to see Maroon 5 in concert tomorrow night. Thank you all so much for your entries! Be on the lookout for more fun contests soon!!
In advance of the world premiere of his new slasher flick "Savage County" on MTV2 this Thursday, October 7, at 11 p.m. (10 p.m. Central), director David Harris has been guest-blogging on MTV News to share some thoughts on making the film. He talked about marketing the movie in yesterday's post, and today he offers up some horror-movie-making tips. Come back tomorrow for his third and final blog.
I want to make another movie for all kinds of reasons: It's my dream to be a director... Maybe I'll make money at it someday... I want to have one of those chairs with my name on the back... But, more than anything, I want to make another movie because I learned so much the first time around that it seems like a waste not to use that knowledge.
Making movies is now what having a band used to be. A lot of people do it, and with digital cameras everywhere, it's an accessible way to express yourself. Everybody from Hitchcock to Tarantino has excellent advice on the creative process that's only a Google search away. There's nothing I can impart about the art of filmmaking that comes close to them, BUT I'm pretty sure I have some practical advice on making your first horror movie that they couldn't give you.
Here are my top five tips:
1. Pack a Flashlight
Scouting locations for a horror movie is very much like being in a horror movie. Everyone who knows of a scary, horrible place will suggest you visit -- whether it fits your movie or not. Scouting "Savage County," we found ourselves knee-deep in water in an abandoned basement autopsy room/morgue/body incinerator. Did we bring a flashlight? Nope. We used the flash on a digital camera to light up the room every couple of feet. It was straight out of "Quarantine." Flashlights are cheap; we were dumb.
2. Buy Waders
These are knee-high thick rubber boots -- you can buy heavy-duty hunting versions at Walmart. I never saw leeches before scouting Savage County. Besides, this will come in handy when you turn over a board and reveal the guy pictured to the right.
3. More Blood! More Dirt!
Your cast arrives in the morning. They're good-looking, fresh-faced, ready to work... You put a little blood on them and they look terrible, but not horror-movie terrible. The actors may look at you pleadingly ("Please, don't put any more sticky crap on me!"). Ignore them.
4. Sweat the Small Stuff
We had plenty of days when someone could have gotten killed if something big went wrong. But the one day that actually went to hell (our first day -- yay!) there were about a dozen small things going wrong. Questions to ask: Was the sound guy in the bathroom when the van left for set? Did the grips bring the keys to their truck? Does the production assistant really know how to drive a van? If not, you might find yourself without a sound guy, or lights, with a van in a pond blocking your access to set. Run through checklists like you've got OCD... or hire someone with actual OCD.
5. Shoot Where They're Excited to Have You
I think it's still statistically most likely that if you're reading this, you don't live in a "production hub." I live in L.A. now, and there are a ton of advantages to making movies here, but one big disadvantage is that if you're just starting out, the world isn't lining up to help you out. When we decided to shoot "Savage County" in Memphis, I didn't know how lucky we'd be. The town isn't a stranger to production ("Hustle & Flow," "The Client" and "Walk the Line" were filmed there), but there are enough creative, talented people there who aren't often asked to contribute to a film... but when they are asked, they're excited to help (guys like the REAL Crittenden County Fire Department, who made the shirts pictured for the movie so they'd be authentic). Wherever that excitement comes from, wherever you can find that support -- that's where you should make your movie. It's easy to take that support for granted, but it could be the thing that makes your first film possible.
Will you tune in for the "Savage County" world premiere on Thursday?
Rapper Kanye West has taken aim at troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, insisting her style collection for Emanuel Ungaro put him off launching his own fashion range.
The Mean Girls star, who is currently in rehab in California, designed a line for the French fashion house last year, but her creations were mauled by critics when they hit the runway, and she later quit her creative consultant post at the company.
West has branded Lohan’s disastrous line the fashion equivalent of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and he admits the reaction to the star’s range made him axe his own clothing venture Past Tell, which was due to hit stores in 2009.
He tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, “Have you heard of a little thing called Lindsay Lohan’s Ungaro collection? That was like the 9/11 of fashion.
“It was game over for me after that as no one would take a celebrity trying to do fashion seriously.”
