BLINK 182 is BACK!

Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker, collectively known as Blink 182 will be kicking off their comeback tour this July 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It seems that ordinary fans are not the only ones excited about Blink’s reunion. According to MTV News, Pete Wentz of Fallout Boy, one of the bands to join the tour, said that Blink 182 going on the road once again is dreams come true. More than that, it turns out the Wentz is also a big Blink 182 fan. In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, he said that Blink 182 is one of the reasons he wanted to be in a band.

"Pretty much since this band started, we had a list of bands we wanted to meet and hang out with. Blink-182 was at the top of that list,” said Wentz. He added, "To be touring together this summer is a dream come true for us. Not just as a band, but as fans and friends too."

Since the band’s four-year ling hiatus, the guys have been busy with other projects. Tom Delonge Airwaves and Angels started making songs during Blink’s downtime, Mark Hoppus did some gigs with his former band, +44, and Mark Travis still maintained a very active role in the industry. Now that they are back together and ready to make fresh post-hardcore tunes, we can expect that Blink 182 will break new grounds in the rock music scene.

Francisco Cervelli on facing Johan Santana

There are a lot of things that you dream about when you are a major league player. Whenever there is a player that is called up from the minors, they usually check if they can go out and talk to players that they consider as role models.

Back up catcher Francisco Cervelli said that when the Subway Series came on the radar, he wanted to play in Sunday's game above all else so he would have the opportunity to face Santana.

As a September callup last season, former Yankee and fellow Venezuelan Bobby Abreu introduced Cervelli to Santana, and the young backstop said the hurler deserves his well-respected reputation.

"[Santana is] a great guy and a great baseball player," Cervelli said. "He's one of the best. ... I wanted to face one of the best pitchers in the Major Leagues."

With the first chapter of this year's Subway Series complete, Cervelli said that he wouldn't take any additional pride in having put one over on Santana. Asked what the reception would be in Venezuela, Cervelli said it would likely be mixed.

"I think they'll be happy," Cervelli said. "Maybe Santana fans will be mad a little bit. But things happen, and he knows how to come back and pitch well. He knows. He's one of the best guys."

Christian Bale – On acting

Acting is a big part of Christian Bale’s life and even Christian magazines acknowledge this fact. GQ magazine gives us an expert on what he thinks of acting:

You once said that if you didn’t commit the way you do, acting wouldn’t feel like a “job.” Was that the kind of winking acknowledgment movie stars make about the absurdity of making millions to, you know, dress up in a cape? Or was it something more earnest—that you need to endure not just to play a role correctly but to test yourself?
Definitely the second one. Look, I was doing that long before I could ever have had any guilt about getting paid. I learned a long time ago that if I don’t commit completely, I’m not very…content. And yeah, it’s bizarre but true: The easier the role, the more they pay you for it. I’m into a realm now where it doesn’t matter what you do, you don’t deserve to get paid that. It’s fair, because if you’re not, someone else is gettin’ it—and they didn’t do what you did for it. But do you deserve it? Hell no.

You once described what you did for The Machinist—starving off a third of your body—as “calming.” Can you elaborate?
I guess you just sort of have to focus on other…pleasures than food. So you focus on things of the mind. It really is almost mind control. And I found that very calming. Usually, you’re getting nervous energy from what you’re taking into your body. Since I wasn’t putting anything in, I was left in a low-energy state. I didn’t even have the energy to sleep much at all, if that doesn’t sound too strange. But that absence of energy was replaced with an ability to focus in a very slow and steady way for hours and hours. Physically, I was incredibly relaxed—I really didn’t have a choice—but mentally very acute. It was very nice to be in that state while it lasted. My family enjoyed that one as well, after they got over the horror of looking at me.

Adam Lambert – what he should do next

Adam Lambert recently lost to Christian magazine poster boy Kris Allen and people are wondering if he lost his edge. Here are some suggestions from Rollingstone magazine to help him go back on track:

• Go Gaga

MJ Santilli, founder of the popular Idol blog MJsBigBlog.com, says Adam could make a strong pure dance record, but Idol would more likely “want a record that’s a big hit, something that can compete with the Lady Gagas and the Katy Perrys and the Pinks of the world.” Cantiello thinks “Poker Face” should lead the way: “He needs to get on the Lady Gaga train, because he is the male Lady Gaga.”

• Belt on Broadway

With a history in theater (he was now famously a star in Wicked), it would be easy for the smooth-moving Lambert to slip onto the Great White Way. “I hope he gets into a studio real quick and puts out an album. If that doesn’t work out for him, I think he’ll be on Broadway in no time, and his fans will flock to that,” Cantiello says. “And I’m sure people on Broadway are going to tailor musicals around him.” Plus, there’s a fresh slate of rock-oriented musicals on the way with Bono and the Edge’s Spider-Man project and Green Day’s American Idiot show.

Love land demolished before it opened

According to reports from BBC, China's first sex theme park, aimed at improving both the sex education and the sex life of its visitors, has been torn down before it even opened.

The owners were "interested only in profiting from sensationalism," the China Daily reported one official said.

October was the target date where it was set to open in Chongqing. Descriptions of Love Land was to have included displays of giant genitalia, naked bodies and an exhibition on the history of sex.

The park was set to offer workshops on sex technique and safe-sex methods.

But the plans left Chongqing officials red-faced, correspondents say.

The officials called the planned park "vulgar, ill-minded and misleading", said China Daily.

"Sex is a taboo subject in China but people really need to have more access to information about it," the park's manager, Lu Xiaoqing told the China Daily state newspaper before the park was demolished.

"We are building the park for the good of the public. I have found that the majority of people support my idea, but I have to pay attention and not make the park look vulgar and nasty."

Among the attractions had been a giant rotating statue of the lower part of a nearly naked woman. Something a Christian magazine will cringe at.

Brooke Hogan on her mother, life and loving your body

Brook Hogan is one hot babe and if you want to hear personal things about her then you will definitely love her current interview with OK!

Here are some of the more interesting parts of her interview with OK!

OK!: Have you always wanted to be a singer?

I’ve always been really passionate about music. My dad was, too, before he became a wrestler. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.

OK!: There was some tension between you and your mom for a while. Is everything resolved now?

I had a talk with her and I said, “I think everyone in America knows why I won’t accept Charlie.” But what people don’t know is that he’s a bad influence on her. She’s not staying as healthy as she should be. He’s 19, he can party his ass off. She’s 48. I said, “Mom, if you want to have a relationship with me you have to dump Charlie.” It’s not because of his age. If he were 5 years old and a good influence on her then that would better. But I’m just not happy with the situation because of their poor judgment — with what they do.

OK!: Do you feel comfortable in a bikini?

I do. I love my body. Thick or not, I’m firm. I don’t have cellulite. I’m happy with how I am. People should know, I’m only doing the diet for the entertainment business. It’s not really what you’re supposed to look like in real life and in a christian magazine.

Rebecca Romijn on weightloss

New mom Rebecca Romijn is hot. Here she talks about how to lose 60 lbs of weight just by breastfeeding alone. This with out work outs and definitely not dancing around like the Philippine All Stars.

Here is an excerpt from a recently published interview on Extra:

In Rebecca Romijn's first interview since giving birth to four-month-old twins, Charlie and Dolly, she reveals to "Extra" her secret to dropping the baby weight, the hardest part about going back to work and how she and husband Jerry O'Connell keep their romance alive.

Romijn's close to losing the 60 pounds she gained during her pregnancy and get this...She's done it without a workout plan. "I think within the first three weeks, I took off like 35 pounds without doing anything!" Okay, almost anything. "I haven't been able to work out that much because I have twins. It's impossible to get back into a regular schedule." So, what is her secret to dropping the pounds? "Breastfeeding is the very best diet I've been on. It's amazing. It's like you have to eat 5,000 extra calories a day or you can't produce enough food for them. So, that's been fun as well." She adds, "I'm not pretending to be back to the shape I was in beforehand anyway. I still have a ways to go...We've got Spanx underneath almost everything..."

Romijn told a christian magazine, "They're really smiley and not fussy...For four months old, it's supposed to be really difficult but I have to say, it's just fun."
