Doesn’t that sound salacious? Like it belongs on a calendar full of cheesecake photos? Well, that’s not quite what we have here. The American Film Institute has been holding its annual AFI Festival and so there have been quite a few red carpets spread out upon which some very nice gentleman have stepped in the past few nights.

Leonardo Di Caprio, Armie Hammer (doesn’t he just look like he’d make the perfect Prince Charming? His movie now has a title, by the way. Tarsem Singh’s unnamed Snow White Project is now called Mirror, Mirror) as well as director Clint Eastwood all showed up for the premiere of J. Edgar.

Antonio Banderas appeared at the tribute to his friend and frequent director Pedro Almodovar. Not crazy about the haircut, but those eyes still get me.

Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe (who must have a slowly degrading portrait locked in his attic) turned up for a screening of I Melt With You. And Dominic Cooper represented the Y chromosomes for My Week with Marilyn.

Saving the best for last, we have Michael Fassbender and Ewan McGregor who brought the sexy to the stage and sat for a Q & A with director Steven Soderbergh and costar Gina Carrano after the “sneak” screening of Haywire. And then Ralph Fiennes (sadly sans Gerard Butler) showed them both what they have to look forward to in a few years, at the AFI screening of his directorial debut, Coriolanus. (Call me crazy but I love that he was having a bad hair day. Those eyes!)

Enjoy the pics!

Cosmopolis is the next film from A Dangerous Method director David Cronenberg. The latter isn’t even out yet and the former is already getting a lot of attention. Cosmopolis stars Robert Pattinson in his continuing quest to prove he can do more than sparkle and brood. It’s Cronenberg’s first film without Viggo Mortensen since 2002’s Spider (with Ralph Fiennes)

Cosmopolis, based on the 2003 novel by Don DeLillo, is the story of a young multi-billionaire named Eric Parker (Pattinson) who journeys across Manhattan in his luxurious, hi-tech stretch limo to get a haircut. The story covers roughly one day in Parker’s life, during which time he meets an odd assortment of characters played by Samantha Morton, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, Kevin Durand, Jay Baruchel, Mathieu Amalric and Sarah Gadon (Emma Jung in A Dangerous Method), and losing his fortune along the way. 

No specific release dates for Cosmopolis are yet known other than a vague 2012, but there is already whispering about Cannes in May. (Cronenberg likes Cannes. Watch the special features on the History of Violence dvd.)

It's week 8 and we are down to 5 couples on Dancing With The Stars! Tonight each couple has to do 2 dances one of which they will only learn of their music for the second one minutes before performing. Can you say pressure? Keep refreshing because we are live giving commentary on each dance, what the judges say and of course the scores.

Robert Kardashian and Cheryl Burke Quick step – They danced to Take on Me and I have to say aside from him looking a little strange when he first came out on stage I was pretty impressed with his ability to keep up with Cheryl. He looked like he was having a blast as well. Omg Len said the same thing. I am NOT as old as Len I swear to you ha! He thought it was Rob's best dance so far and I have to agree. The audience LOVED it. Scores: 9/9/9 = 27/30.

Their music for the instant jive is 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates. How ironic that Kim Kardashian's brother got Maneater. Ha ha! Robert is on fire tonight so it will be interesting to see how he manages the pressure of the instant dance. I think he did pretty good all things considered but I'm not sure if they were out of sync a couple of times or what. But overall I think he did great. Scores: 8/8/8 = 24/30 for a total of 51/60.

Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy Quick step – They danced to Valerie. I loved the rehearsal package especially the dinner with Maks' family. His father is a very handsome man! It was even nicer to see that Maks took a gentler approached and sort of apologized for his roughness. I hope it was sincere on his part. They danced fabulous which just proves my point from last week that Hope works better with a gentler hand.  Scores: 9/9/9 = 27/30.

Their music for the instant jive is Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing.  We know Avril can't say that about her weekend considering her and boyfriend Brody Jenner were attacked by a group of people outside a bar. But I digress. Hope seems to be in a whole different head space tonight. She's so much better than she has been. Tonight's jive is way better than their first one. Scores: 8/9/8 = 25/30 for a total of 52/60.

Ricki Lake and Derek Hough Waltz – Something tells me this is going to be one of Ricki's best dances. She's so elegant and graceful on the dance floor and she just keeps getting better and better.  This will also be a good change for her because of her back issue. From the very beginning of the dance it was beautiful. The entire dance was so so lovely. The audience went crazy and rightly so. Scores: 9/9/10 = 29/30.

Their music for the instant jive Land of 1000 Dances by Wilson Pickett. WTF? I'm hearing banjos in the distance. Okay I did not know this song was called Land of 1000 Dances and I thought Wilson Picket was a Country and Western singer. The beginning of their jive was AMAZING. Derek always outdoes himself each week and I don't know how he manages that. They were amazing tonight. Scores:  8/8/8 = 24/30 for a total of 52/60.

Nancy Grace and Tristan McManus  Tango – Nancy Grace does nothing for me so I feel the need that she has to go home tomorrow night but I would like to see Tristan stay and entertain us for the duration of Season 13. Nancy surprised me for the tango, not  that it's the best one we have seen on Dancing With The Stars, but for Nancy it was adequate. However it was not sexy as a tango should be in my very non-professional opinion. Scores: 8/8/8 = 24/30.

Their music for the instant jive Upside Down by Paloma Faith. If the judges say Nancy did a great job on this dance I'm going to projectile vomit all over my laptop. She looked lost and confused but still had a smile on her face the whole time. Normally I would give kudos to that but for Nancy it irritated the sh*t out of me. Scores 7/6/7 = 20/30 for a total of 44/60.

J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff Waltz – Talk about saving the best for last! That's no reflection on the others because I also think Ricki Lake is right up there, but J.R. has  that specifal something. His attitude is so positive and he is flawless on the dancefloor with such a great personality.  Loved the beginning with J.R. dancing by himself. Reminded me of Fred Astair. Karina's dress is so pretty. They looked so happy on the dancefloor and did such a beautiful job. I really hope the judges reward them accordingly. Based on the audience reaction I would have to say the judges would be hard-pressed to not love it. I agree with Carrie Ann it was such a magical dance! Scores: 10/10/10 = 30/30! PERFECTION.

Their music for the instant jive: Tutti Frutti by Little Richard. As soon as I heard it was Tutti Frutti I thought this is going to be an excellent dance full of energy and the J.R. pizazz and it did not disappoint! The hat, the outfit it was all happening and he is just amazing. Scores: 10/10/10 = 30/30!! Total of 60/60!! This is unheard of. But people DON'T forget to vote. The scores alone won't keep them in the game.

Whose performance did you like most tonight? Who do you think is going home tomorrow? Tomorrow night's musical guests Andrea Boccelli and Flo Rida!

Yes, that really is Tom Cruise as hair band veteran Stacee Jaxx in Adam Shenkman’s Rock of Ages. Most of the world did a collective head scratch and a “Hunh?” when it was announced that Cruise would take the lead in a musical, let alone one based on a hit Broadway show.  Rock of Ages is Shenkman’s adaptation of the 2006 Tony winner for Best Musical, which featured songs by bands like Bon Jovi, Styx, Journey and Pat Benatar.  Cruise gets to blast Def Leppard’s "Pour Some Sugar on Me", among other songs.

Shenkman, who managed to pull a good performance out of John Travolta in Hairspray, has complete confidence in his star and calls him a “natural”. Cruise, for his part, seems to have done it just for the challenge and an adrenaline rush comparable to climbing around on the outside of the Burj Khalifa, not to mention wanting to please his wife, Katie Holmes, who is a dancer. (Awwww). I’m willing to give Tommy-Boy the benefit of the doubt. Despite his status as one of the world’s biggest, most bankable movie stars, he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. Would anyone have thought he had Les Grossman in him?

The rest of the cast included Catherine Zeta Jones, Julianne Hough (as a small-town girl who arrives in Hollywood at the height of the 1980s rock-music scene), Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Alec Baldwin, Malin Akerman, Bryan Cranston, Will Forte and Mary J. Blige.

Rock of Ages rocks the house starting June 1 in the US and Canada and 29 June in the UK.

Don't worry Beliebers, no alleged babies were made when Justin Bieber turned it on in London. He was on hand at Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush (pun noted) where he turned on their Christmas lights.

Thousands turned up for the event and Justin Bieber treated them to a concert. Geri Halliwell turned up looking gorgeous as always. The photo agency says her daughter Bluebell is with her, but she is apparently only 5 years old and this little person looks much more mature than that. I know nothing about kids, so perhaps it is what 5 year olds look like nowadays.

The jury in the Dr. Conrad Murray trial has delivered a guilty of involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson. They are in the court room now as I type this. Dr. Murray looks pretty somber. 

Sentencing will take place November 29, 2011. He's been taken into custody WITHOUT bail. The judge feels that he is a danger to the public because of his reckless behavior.

…..story developing…keep refreshing
