POKER FACE



Ed Westwick flashes his best Chuck Bass smirk while breaking for lunch near the New York City set of Gossip Girl on Thursday. The teen-themed show is set to air a scintillating threesome on Monday night – think it's going too far?

Kristin was spotted at LAX last week sitting... Because that's what beautiful people do, they sit... and or, those who are just waiting to be boarded on their flight... either way.

Here's an excerpt from a column that actress Romola Garai ("Atonement") wrote for The Observer in which she mentions she's auditioning for "Spider-Man 4."

"Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen." This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself "on tape" for a part in Spider-Man 4. This is the acting equivalent of the London Marathon in that it's important to try your best as long as you understand that you aren't going to win.

It was posted earlier that Rachel McAdams was a frontrunner for a role in the movie, which could possibly be Felicia Hardy/The Black Cat. The only thing I've ever seen Garai in was "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," but I think she could be a better fit. I'm not sure if McAdams could play the same age as Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, who both look eternally 12. So ONTD, have any other casting possibilities for The Black Cat? Oh yeah, and I don't think it was ever posted here, but Dylan Baker confirmed he would be back as Dr. Curt Conners in the fourth movie. That doesn't necessarily mean The Lizard is the main villain, but it's still a possibility.

During her interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna revealed that she finally walked away from her relationship with Chris Brown after briefly reuniting because she wanted to set a positive example for her fans. The singer said she didn't want young girls to think it was OK to return to an abusive situation.

But Rihanna also said she doesn't want to be the "domestic-violence spokesperson," because Brown's assault is only one aspect of her story.

"One of the big things for me, I always want to help young women and give them insight into life experiences," she told MTV News on Monday. "One of those things is going through an abusive relationship like I did. But that's one thing for me. So I don't want to be the big domestic-violence spokesperson, because that doesn't define who I am. But if I can help young women in any way, and that being one of the things they need help with, then I'll do that."

Rihanna is attempting to move forward following the February assault, when Brown left her battered and bruised in his rented Lamborghini after a pre-Grammy party. He eventually struck a plea deal and was sentenced to 180 days of community labor, weekly therapy sessions and five years' probation.

Brown has already conducted a handful of interviews, including MTV News' "Chris Brown: The Interview" on Friday. But Rihanna didn't break her silence until last week's sit-down with Sawyer.

"It was the biggest weight lifted off my chest," she told MTV News. "If you watch the interview, you see it was a subject that I didn't talk about for the eight months that I didn't talk about it, so that was my first real time opening up. I had a lot of tension bottled up. So when I finally spoke about it, it felt really good. More importantly, it felt good that people got something positive out of it, because it's devastating. It's not fun to talk about or listen to, but there are a lot of women who are going through it, a lot of teenagers who are scared to talk about it. So I thought it was a good thing that I can be that voice for them and help them get out of that situation."

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended last month after criticizing team officials and posting two homosexual slurs online.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Larry Johnson's record-breaking career as a Kansas City running back is over.

The Chiefs confirmed Monday that they had run out of patience with his off-the-field problems and released Johnson the day he was due to come back from his second suspension in a year.

Johnson, who turns 30 on Nov. 19, was just 75 yards away from breaking Priest Holmes' team rushing record.

The decision by the Chiefs (1-7) was not a surprise.

"A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful," Johnson's agent, Peter Schaffer, told The Associated Press. "There's a lot of feelings going on right now. It's analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens."

A No. 1 draft choice out of Penn State in 2003, Johnson was one of the best running backs in the NFL in 2005 and 2006, rushing for more than 1,700 yards in each of those Pro Bowl seasons.

But often angry and sullen, he was dogged by controversy and frequently at odds with coaches and fans. On Oct. 25, in what turned out to be his final episode with the Chiefs, he posted on his Twitter account several insults to fans, questioned coach Todd Haley's credentials and used a gay slur.

He repeated the slur the next day to reporters and was suspended for two weeks. At Schaffer's urging, the Chiefs cut the financial penalty in half, saving him about $315,000.

So in my earlier post I failed to mention the Tegan and Sara article in my Alternative Press. Here are some high lights with the full scan behind the cut ! :

* "Hell" is one of three songs co-written with AFI bassist Hunter Burgan. (Here's their recent performance of that song on Conan O'Brien)
* "Sainthood" draws its title from the Leonard Cohen song "Came So Far For Beauty"
* "Sainthood" was produced by Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla (who produced "The Con")
* AltPress gives the album 4.5 out of 5 stars
* Tegan is excited to play "Northshore" live.

Frontman MAX BEMIS walks us through every track on SAY ANYTHING's self-titled album.


Fed To Death
"Ironically, this is the first song I wrote for the record, and it also became the first song on the record. It's pretty much a statement of purpose about what I think is wrong with the world or what is worth fighting against in the world. It covers two aspects: one is someone who is irresponsible and the other is one who claims too much responsibility and is obsessed with power. Both of which I think are two things wrong with society--people who do those things."
