Jim Carrey Rodrigo Santoro NYC Premiere of ‘I Love You Phillip Morris’

The red carpet has been busy this week with all these movie premieres. Exclusive photos (Thanks Clint Spaulding/Patrick McMullan Company) from the NYC premiere of I Love You Phillip Morris, which took place at the SVA Theater on Monday night. The photos feature stars Jim Carrey and Rodrigo Santoro, directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, and the real life Phillip Morris, played by Ewan McGregor in the film. Rodrigo Santoro was voted one of People Magazine’s Sexiest people in the World and is one of those Brazilian heartthrobs you cannot miss while Jim Carrey never seems to let us down in a movie. I Love You Phillip Morris opens in select cities on December 3rd.

Matthew Morrison Shirtless Details Cover

Who would have thought that Matthew Morrison had such hot abs. We have a stunning washboard ab shirtless pic of the Glee hunk Matthew Morrison as he appears on the December/January cover of DETAILS magazine. The FOX TV star recently did a photo shoot with Norman Jean Roy that took place September 25 in Malibu, California.

The original plan was to shoot a humorous cover with the Glee star but were scrapped once the creative team at Details discovered what Morrison looked like shirtless. It’s easy to see why the talented Mr. Schuester has provided grown-ups a reason to watch the hit Fox show! But when school lets out, Morrison has even greater adult-contemporary ambitions – like becoming the next Michael Bublé. And while rumors swirl about some of his co-stars turning into divas in the light of their new found fame, it’s nice to hear that Morrison, according to writer Claire Hoffman, is remarkably well-adjusted and “has resisted becoming an a**hole as a result of his success.”

The Details article quotes Matthew Morrison-

“I definitely hooked up with a lot of girls when I was a young guy on Broadway. It was exciting. Very joyous and free.” But Morrison didn’t shed his inhibitions entirely. He joined a Bible-study group in college, and he didn’t lose his virginity until he was 21. Being perceived as a sex object confused him (and still does). “I’m not comfortable with the idea of my sex appeal, but I know in my job I have to use it. I wish I could say I got to this point in my career based on my talent, but I don’t think that’s true.”

Regarding Mr. Shuester’s co-stars: “I am a teacher to them,” Morrison says of the younger castmates he refers to as “the kids.” “I’ve taken a few under my wing. I don’t want to say they idolize me, but…” he trails off, realizing how this might sound. He’s careful about what he says and wishes some of his colleagues were a little less publicity-driven. “Yeah, I find myself learning a lot from the set. I do look at stuff people on the show are doing, and I don’t judge them, but I question it. I say to myself, ‘Keep quiet.’ Fame … it’s like a handgun – in the wrong hands, it’s dangerous.”

On dating Matthew Morrison commented:
“I’m not a good friend right now. I’m not a good boyfriend. It’s not that I’m selfish. I’m just focused.”
On paddle boarding for exercise: “I got my own board. It’s a great core workout.”
On getting in tip-top shape for this photo shoot: Morrison ate well and in the final few days used a trick Sue Sylvester pushed on her cheerleading squad: a sweet potato-only diet.

“Matt’s the star of the show. The show rests on his shoulders—everything revolves around him.” – Glee creator Ryan Murphy

“You get the sense he knows he can write his own ticket. If I were going to come back as someone, I’d come back as Matt Morrison.” – Glee co-star Jane Lynch (the lady with the Adidas warm-up, aka Sue). Sue is one of my favorites on the show even though she plays the Villan and Mr. Shuester plays the better person. Sue brings an excitement to the show of the competition we all once felt in highschool. I would have never made it out of school if I were to have a teacher like Matthew Morrison and his toned, shirtless body appearing in front of me at a Glee carwash or any afterschool event.

We have some photos from the evening which include stars Cher, Christina Aguilera, Cam Gigandet, Stanley Tucci, Eric Dane, Julianne Hough, Peter Gallagher and director Steven Antin. Is this the guy from the OC (Ryan’s Dad) pictured with Cher that had the big eyebrows. Oh how I miss the OC on Fox.

Kylie Minogue to Perform at Macy’s Thanksgiving Turkey Parade

We have all heard about Kanye West who is supposed to perform at the big hee haw at Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and heard about it in just about every George Bush interview. Will Kanye be there or will he be too busy grabbing Kylie’s mic from her? Oh no one will be grabbing Kylie Minogue’s Turkey or they will get a hard nibble back. International superstar Kylie Minogue has joined the talent line-up of the 84th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and is poised to create a commotion with this special Thanksgiving Day performance when America’s favorite holiday tradition steps off at 9:00 AM on Thursday, November 25th, ready to entertain more than 3.5 million spectators lining the streets of Manhattan and more than 50 million viewers nationwide. The 84th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade airs from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (in all time zones) on NBC-TV.

Previously announced stars joining the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade this year include India Arie, Big Time Rush, Betty Buckley, Ann Hampton Callaway, the casts of Broadway’s American Idiot, Elf, Memphis, Million Dollar Quartet, the Big Apple Circus, the cast and Muppets of Sesame Street, Miranda Cosgrove, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Gloriana, Michael Grimm, Arlo Guthrie, Keri Hilson, Eric Hutchinson, Juanes, Victoria Justice, Gladys Knight, Mannheim Steamroller, Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih, Power Rangers Samurai, Joan and Melissa Rivers, Crystal Shawanda, Jessica Simpson, and Kanye West.

So you do not have to hide yo’ kids, yo’ wife for this one until Kanye takes the stage and I am sure he will be on his best behavior there. We can’t wait to see Kylie.

With Madonna and the new teen clothing line she worked with her daughter we just wonder where Madonna the Material Girl will be for the parade. Hopefully she is done with promoting that and can move on to her next album!

Online STD Testing

In today’s world, sex outside of marriage is generally accepted for the straights and well us gays and lesbians can’t even get married in most cases and sometimes get into open relationships. Therefore, a person may have several sexual partners in their life especially before they find the right match. Unfortunately, some people have an STD, or sexually transmitted disease, and either may not know or may not tell their partner. This can lead to several complications, including severe infections, if gone untreated. However, it is embarrassing for most people to go to the doctor and admit they have been careless. Fortunately, there are online STD tests available for these individuals.

It is important to be tested and treated for an STD as soon as you suspect you may have one. Most are treatable and do not do much harm if caught within a short time of contracting it, but others do significant damage or are irreversible. The more harmful STDs include HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, which is not curable and becomes AIDS later in life. Others, such as Hepatitis B and C, can be fatal, but may be curable or controllable. Less destructive STDs include Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Herpes. Excluding Herpes, these STDs are curable, and if caught in time do not cause much damage. Herpes is treatable, but is not curable at this time.

One of the most popular online resources is Just Get Tested, which offers comprehensive and confidential testing. After you register with the site, you can pay a fee for a test, and they will direct you to a laboratory to have your blood drawn or a urine specimen taken. The laboratory sends the samples back to the company for analysis, and they will tell you if you have an STD or not.

Another online resource similar to Just Get Tested is provided by Sterling Wellness Solutions, which is based in Louisiana. They also provide STD testing, by allowing you to pay online and visit a local laboratory to have specimens collected. Depending on your insurance’s policies, your testing may be covered by your insurance, costing you little or nothing. This site also offers a “Health Appraisal” questionnaire for members.

While on the subject of health questionnaires, if you would like to know what tests you should have done for your general well-being, it is well worth your time to check out STDWizard. This online service gives you a short survey about your habits and sexual history, and recommends testing based on your answers. The recommendations are provided by the CDC, also known as the Center for Disease Control.

Another reputable STD testing website is LabSafe.com. This website provides the same services as the afore mentioned services, and holds a strict privacy policy for all users. You pay for your testing, visit a laboratory, and receive your results from the company in a few days. The only downfall of this service is the slightly higher price than the other services.

STDs are a serious matter that must be dealt with as soon as you receive confirmation that you have one. You should visit your doctor with the information from the laboratory for proper treatment. Without proper care, an STD can cause more problems, including severe infections, infertility, sores, disruption of the nervous system, and death. If a pregnant woman has an STD, it can cause birth defects or she may even pass it onto the child. These services are on the internet to help you receive early confirmation and treatment, and to help protect yourself and your sexual partners. There are hundreds of services, but these are some of the most reputable services out there.

Think you may need to get tested now? Above is a coupon and a promotional code for $25 Off 8 Test STD Panel. Prefer to call and talk to someone about what all the STD test includes then you can with this toll free number: 877-350-0646.
