X17 XCLUSIVE - Megan Goes To The Movies!

Tags: Brian Austin green
I still don't get why she's with him, but whatever!
Hot couple Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were spotted out in Culver City yesterday, taking in a showing of The Dark Knight together. Finally! Everyone's seen that movie at least twice already, right?
And that's totally an ad for the new 90210 in the last pic! Think Megan and David Silver (yeah, that's right!) will watch the premiere this week?
Or maybe they're Gossip Girl fans!

The smoldering hot starlet Megan Fox took along her boyfriend Brian Austin Green and his son Kassius to lunch at Chin Chin Restaurant in North Hollywood in these beautiful and EXCLUSIVE fotos! After eating some good grub they tried to go to the “Psychic Cottage,” a store with Tarot cards and spiritual readings. Maybe Brian was trying to see if his career could be revived in the future? Fortune was not in their favor as the sign said “OPEN” but the store was closed. The three peered inside trying to get someone to open the shop up. It seems they were desperate for some supernatural guidance or perhaps they just wanted some incense. After trying to tempt the fates for a few minutes, no one answered and the couple left and went home disappointed. We’ll give you our spiritual reading Megan: We see another blockbuster in your future, but not a long relationship with your current beau. Sorry.

Megan Fox makes Brian Austin Green give his dog up - then gets 2 dogs herself
Posted: August 8th, 2008, 2:51pm CDT by Celebitchy
Tags: Brian Austin green
Brian Austin Green, 35, had a mastif-pitt bull mix dog named Macy that he adopted three years ago when she was just a puppy. His live-in fiance Megan Fox, 22, is said to have told him that it was her or the dog. The National Enquirer has this story, and claims Macy was a well-trained and well-behaved dog and didn’t cause any problems. Brain ultimately gave up the dog to a good home at Megan’s insistence, but he’s said to be heart broken about it.Megan Fox has fiance Brian Austin Freen on such a short leash that she’s forced him to give up his best friend - his beloved dog Macy!
“Megan claimed she felt threatened by Macy, but that dog was a sweetheart. She wouldn’t hurt a fly,” divulged an insider.
“Brian adored Macy and refused to give her up for the longest time, but Megan nagged him about it until he finally gave in. He was crushed.”
[Brian] adopted 3-year-old Macy, a mastiff-pit bull mix, when she was 3 months old - around the same time he and Megan, 22, began living together, according to sources.
After adopting the dog, 35 year-old Brian enrolled her in rigorous training courses at the Hollywood Dog Training School…
“Macy was really mellow and well-behaved,” the source added. “Whenever Brian went out of town he’d board Macy at the training school.
“The trainers were shocked when Brian’s assistant came in one day and said Brian was being forced to give Macy up for adoption because Megan didn’t get along with her.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 18, 2008]
The Enquirer goes on to say that to add insult to injury “Right after Brian gave Macy up for adoption, Megan adopted two tiny dogs.”
There was a story a while ago the Brian was overheard at lunch venting to a friend about how Megan controls his life, including making schedules for him so he spent a specific amount of time together. These two were rumored to have broken up last month, but Brian denied it, saying they were still together.
It’s very cold to make someone give up their pet, and you have to wonder if these two are ready to get married and take it to the next step. If Fox is as controlling and cold-hearted as she’s rumored to be, she would definitely make a terrible wife. It doesn’t matter how hot someone is if they’re a nightmare to be with.

Queen founder/guitarist Brian May publishes astrophysics thesis
Posted: August 2nd, 2008, 12:23pm CDT by JayBird
Tags: Brian may
I love it when celebrities embrace higher education. Especially when they do it under the radar, or years later than most. Like when Rivers Cuomo of Weezer graduated from Harvard, more than ten years from when he started. Or news that Shakira was taking classes at UCLA and no one even realized who she was. When I was in college Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver was in my art history class, and was about to finish his degree in finance. I am a huge fan of smart celebrities.AQQ
Though I don’t think there’s any comprehensive list of the smartest celebs out there, if there were I’m pretty sure Queen founder and guitarist Brian May would be near the top. May just finished publishing his doctoral thesis in astrophysics. I’m going to just give you a little bit of the highlights, since I have no idea what any of it means. Which tells you something about the usefulness of my degree.
The founder of the legendary rock band Queen has completed his doctoral thesis in astrophysics after taking a 30-year break to play some guitar.
Brian May’s thesis examines the mysterious phenomenon known as Zodiacal light, a misty diffuse cone of light that appears in the western sky after sunset and in the eastern sky before sunrise… May’s work focuses on an instrument that recorded 250 scans of morning and evening Zodiacal light between 1971 and 1972. The Fabry-Perot Spectrometer is located at the Observatorio del Teide at Izana in Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands.
The completed thesis appears as the book “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud” (Springer and Canopus Publishing Ltd., 2008).
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my years playing guitar and recording music with Queen, but it’s extremely gratifying to see the publication of my thesis,” May said. “I’ve been fascinated with astronomy for years, and I was happy to finally complete my Ph.D. last year and record my studies of the Zodiacal Light in this book.”
[From Live Science]
For any of you science-y sorts, I bet you were just really impressed. For you liberal arts/soft science people like myself, I bet you were just really confused/impressed in theory. Though I don’t understand a word of it, I’ve got to say it’s pretty impressive for a guy to still care enough about astrophysics and academia to keep working on his PhD after thirty years.

Brian Austin Green says he and Megan Fox are still together
Posted: July 10th, 2008, 1:08am CDT by JayBird
Tags: Brian Austin green
Despite about a billion reports last week that Megan Fox had dumped fiancé Brian Austin Green, Green says it’s untrue. Which is super weird, because the internet was abuzz with the gossip last Thursday, and neither Fox nor Green bothered to address the supposedly incorrect gossip until today.
Brian Austin Green says everything’s going great with fiancée Megan Fox.
(London’s Daily Star reported that Fox, 22, called off her engagement to the former 90210 star after realizing “she’s too young to marry him.”)
“We’re solid,” Green, 34, says in the new issue of TV Guide. “We’ve lived together for three years. We have tattoos of each other’s names.”
Green’s only gripe about their relationship? “We have more time away from each other right now than we’d like,” he says.
Green - who has a son, Kassius, with ex fiancée Vanessa Marcil - says he “would love” to have more kids.
For now, he and Fox - who met in 2004 and got engaged in 2006 - are “rescuing pets from pet stores. We have a potbellied pig, we have dogs, two cats, two birds a squirrel.
[From Us Weekly]
How freaking adorable. I can’t say why, but somehow I don’t find this entirely believable. Maybe it’s because it took them so long to respond to the gossip. Or maybe it’s because Megan Fox hasn’t said a word. I just wouldn’t be entirely surprised if in a week we find out that they have split after all.
In other news, Green seems to be just about the only 90210 cast member that hasn’t been asked to join the cast of the spin-off. So far Tori Spelling is confirmed, and it seems pretty likely that Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth will both be involved in some capacity. Too bad for Brian, as his career probably could have used it.

The former Beverly Hills 90210 star and his Transformers babe were finally reunited after spending time apart while Megan filmed Jennifer’s Body in Vancouver.

MTV Dude's Very Gay Moment [Out Magazine]
Posted: April 7th, 2008, 6:26pm CDT by Ryan Tate
Tags: Brian grayden
Brian Graden is a very powerful gay, 15th on Out magazine's newest power list, top executive at gay network Logo and president of entertainment at MTV's various music channels. But, being a successful entertainment executive, Graden is careful to nurture and protect his inner 14-year-old, so when Out asked him for a tale of "something gay that you do in your daily life," he was totally ready:
Today, because I was feeling a little stressed, I closed the door and cracked up Mary J. Blige's "It's Fine" to top volume in my office and danced around my office. That's probably pretty gay.

The paparazzi caught up with Hollywood hottie Megan Fox yesterday as she was leaving a studio in the Valley. And there was something very puzzling about her.
The “Transformers” babe was spotted carrying a hot water bag (you know, one of those old-fashioned red rubber bags) as she left work. However, no injury has been officially announced.

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox on the Rocks?
Posted: January 30th, 2008, 8:25am CST by Spicy Pants
Tags: Brian Austin green
According to BauerGriffinOnline.com, Brian Austin Green was having lunch on the patio with a buddy at the Daily Grill in Studio City when he was heard rambling for over an hour about his relationship with girlfriend Megan Fox. The source says it sounded as though the couple may be on the outs.
He began comparing Megan to the girl that he had been going out with before her who he’d broken up with for Fox, saying that Fox is behaving just like her. Apparently, the 21-year-old Transformer star is extremely set in her ways. The entire relationship was based on her terms, beginning with a “white board,” upon which the pair would document the amount of time allotted to their relationship, family, and work. Green strove to maintain a fifty percent balance between time spent each other, and time spent apart. Fox, however, would sneak behind his back and erase planned dates with Green in order to have more time away from him. In fact, she would regularly cancel plans at the last moment, often by text. Throughout their turbulent relationship, Fox would threaten to get her lawyer involved in their disputes, while Green expressed his shock to his friend as he has never had a personal attorney in his “entire” life. He complained animatedly about how “unfair” their relationship was.
The obviously heart-broken Green went on to say that the young actress and budding star could never sit still and couldn’t stand silence yet would moon in bed all day when they had a fight.
After ragging on Fox for close to an hour, the two men realized that the people at the table next to them might have overheard everything they said. Green seemed nervous and his friend asked the other diners if they had been eavesdropping because “that would be really bad.” Looks like Fox has finally moved on!
Ok, I could have maybe believed the story up until the end. Asking other diners if they were eavesdropping? Not very believable. I’m surprised these two are still together anyhow. Meg is so out of his league.

David Silver's Pissed At His Girlfriend
Posted: January 30th, 2008, 6:59am CST
Tags: Brian Austin green
Here's Brian Austin Green. He's wearing eye makeup these days, isn't doing much except for living off his "90210" money, and yet somehow lands the hottest pieces of ass in Hollywood. He's currently seeing "Transformers" star and Maxim-type pinup chickie Megan Fox. And apparently Megan finds that because she's hot, she can be real high maintenance. Probably because she knows ole' David Silver is damn lucky to have her because I don't see "David Silver: The Middle Aged Years" happening anytime soon. Brian was recently overheard at the Daily Grill in Studio City, CA complaining loudly to a dining companion about how much of a pain in the balls Ms. Fox, 21, can be. Apparently, these freaks keep a white board dividing up how much time they should be spending together and apart. And she keeps erasing time with him so she can be on her own. And when he complains, she threatens to get her lawyer involved. That's one silly Hollywood relationship he's got going there. Oh and get this. When Brian realized everyone in the restaurant could hear him piss and moan about how his testicles are in Megan's purse, his friend went around asking diners if they had eavesdropped and saying it would be "very bad" if they had. Ooooh, Brian Austin Green's friend just threatened me. Duck and cover, everyone!

Of course, when your subject's this good at tooting her own horn, you might start to wonder why you're bothering to toot it for her: "Since the strike began, Ms. Finke has published 142 posts about it. She said she had worked almost around the clock for three weeks, and had fallen asleep at the computer four times. She estimated she had received 2,000 e-mail messages a day."

'Time' Person Of The Year: Might Be Less Sucky Than Last Year? [People Of The Moment]
Posted: November 8th, 2007, 5:05pm CST
Tags: Brian Williams
Each fall, Time magazine hosts a panel luncheon to put forward nominations for their annual super-special "Person of the Year" issue. The magazine feeds a couple hundred media folks and then pretends to let them participate in the decision—they also hand out gift bags, which was a good enough reason for us to go today! This year's panelists: Brian Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, George Allen, MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe and rockstar activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Last year's much-ridiculed mylar heraldee—you! I mean, me!—requires a decent recovery for 2007. This is why it was so lame that Williams, Whoopi and DeWolfe all suggested some take on the environment. Whoopi even went all abstract on us, choosing just the word green. Too much Joy Behar exposure, perhaps? Now, in our defense, we recycle, we turn off lights, we don't even litter, which basically qualifies us as saints in this city. We have been known to, upon occasion, not completely tune out Al Gore.
Still... a Time rendition of Vanity Fair's "Green Issue" leaves us cold.
Former senator George Allen, who's been stumping so long he can put an audience into a trance faster than most, suggested General Petraeus "and the troops." Of course, of course, the troops too!
Ali seemed to be the only one who didn't make up her answer in the elevator; she chose French prez Nicholas Sarkozy. Hammy Brian Williams had some mic trouble; "No thanks, Whoops," he answered when the "View" host offered him hers. Is it just us, or are Williams' much-written about secret comedy chops on their way to being overexposed?
Still! We do give him props for verbally smacking the 41-year-old MySpace guy (whose alternate suggestion—surprise!&mdash was his new boss, Rupert Murdoch) when he tried to sound 15-years-old by saying he wasn't exactly sure what this General Petraeus guy was all about. (And he isn't even the MySpace founder who lies about his age!)
The real message in the news, "whatever that message may be," gets lost for young people, he thinks. Honey. AARP's got you on deck; you sound silly.
"My wife and I thank you," an almost misty-eyed George Allen said to a horrified Whoopi Goldberg, thanking her for "Ghost." WTMI, Senator, seriously.
And a slightly scary Post grande dame Liz Smith scolded the panel for being too upbeat, and TV chat-host Joe Scarborough, who is awfully tall, suggested George W. Bush. That did it for Whoopi, who then kicked everyone out. We thus leave it to you, dear readers, because other than maybe that "your mom" should be Time's Person Of The Year, we got nothing.

War? What War?: Howard Kurtz: The T.V. Said Iraq War Is A Debacle!
Posted: October 8th, 2007, 9:30am CDT
Tags: Brian Williams
In a weird adapted excerpt from his book on T.V. news that apparently comes out tomorrow, Washington Post nosepicker-columnist and CNN blatherer Howie Kurtz lets us know that the liberal T.V. painted the Iraq war as a bloody place where people get blown up and bad things happen! That is so crazy! How could they?! (Is the rest of his book so ludicrous?)Through the routine decisions of daily journalism—how prominently to play a story, what pictures to use, what voices to include—the newscasts were sending an unmistakable message. And the message was that George W. Bush's war was a debacle. Administration officials regularly complained about the coverage as unduly negative, but to little avail.
Yeah, and what did Howie's CNN show, "Reliable Sources," do yesterday? Why, he had stalk-happy right-wing Canadian frightwig Rachel Marsden talking about how great Jenna Bush is. Whatever! Mmm, reliable sources indeed.Huffington Post has a roundup of some anchor-machinating tidbits from the book, which sounds like more of the general beefing about Katie Couric's potty-mouth and how Brian Williams, probably accurately, thought that his numbers on the NBC Nightly News were being killed because local stations were dying and not throwing him any lead-in viewers.

The Other Emmys: Mike Wallace And Dan Rather Think T.V. News Is Really Important!
Posted: September 25th, 2007, 11:55am CDT
Tags: Brian Williams
"I'm going braless," Huffpo's Rachel Sklar said in the cab on the way to the Sheraton. She was tucking herself into a sleek black dress. "Women sweat there!" When she had first invited me to the 28th News and Documentary Emmy Awards, this wasn't what I had in mind: learning the finer points of a lady's thermoregulation sitting in UN-caused traffic jam in Midtown. I was dreaming of Russert, Blitzer, Koppel, Wallace, Stewart, Soledad—Brian Williams! Christmas for the newscasters! Get behind me, Santa!In the Sheraton's ballroom, the Napoleonic head of CNN, Jonathan Klein, was wearing a tux and chatting with some other old white dude. Bob Schieffer of CBS chatted with Ted Koppel, who was to receive a lifetime achievement award. An unusually and quite frankly scarily tan Mike Wallace spryly circulated from small circle to small circle. We looked for Wolf Blitzer and Brian Williams—they were both "working."
We were sitting at the press table. Because the press talk so much, we heard that it was probably someone from the Business desk that started yesterday's Times fire: "The fire was on the second floor. That's where business is. And Science and Escapes and Sports!"
Matea Gold from the LA Times was there in a smart pearl necklace. She sported a slim ivory shiny digital recorder and didn't eat dessert (chocolate mousse in a chocolate cup). Across the table, looking like a fairy godmother (because she is), was TV Week's Michelle Greppi. Onstage, Tim Russert was giving this "Lock arms, brothers and sisters" speech. He then introduced Dan Rather as "soon to be the star of his own reality TV show on Court TV with Les Moonves." So true!
Dan Rather's most notable quotable: "News matters."
We were right next to a huge television screen that flashed clips of Frontline documentaries (the series was honored) and other news reports—lots of footage of dead and dying people. How is one supposed to enjoy an already rubbery steak while having to watch Marines dying or starving Darfurians?
That said, PBS programs , which swept the awards, are totes replacing "The OC" seasons 1-4 on my Netflix queue.
Then Mike Wallace won an Emmy for his interview with Iran's President Ahmadinejad and took to the stage. He put the Emmy on the ground and rambled on for about 15 minutes, speaking almost exclusively in haiku. "Me. You. This Room/Ahmadinejad./We didn't know."
Huh? What now? Soon enough he was replaced by Soledad O'Brien. She looks and speaks like a Sarah Silverman caricature of herself, drawing out the ends of words like a rabbi.
It was surely time for more white wine. But when I asked for another, the old waiter asked whether I'd like to open a tab.

You're Going A Long Way, Baby: Katie Couric Leaves Today For Iraq To Get Gravitas The Hard Way
Posted: August 29th, 2007, 8:20am CDT
Tags: Brian Williams
Now that Hamptons season is nearly over, Katie Couric is ready to leave for Iraq on a trip that's all about the journalism. You will take her so seriously. You will tune in every night! She is not fluffy, she is totally surrounded by serious things like people getting arms blown off every hour! Variety notes that "CBS News has an able correspondent in Iraq, Lara Logan, whom it has worked to elevate in stature over the past few years, raising the question of why take the risk of sending a high-value target such as Couric, a single mother of two." That is true. Though also we think that when Brian Williams went to Iraq they probably didn't mention that he and his lovely wife Jane have two kids, so maybe there is something to this whole sexism thing. Anyway, come back in at least two pieces, Katie! The benefit circuit and your massive staff and your publicists depend on you!CBS sending Couric to Iraq, Syria [Variety]
