I took this picture from the balcony of Doug & Michael's loft in Milwaukee's Third Ward neighborhood. Milwaukee looked so beautiful lit up that night.

Look Who's Having a Birthday?

Brit-Brit turned 26 this weekend (December 2). She celebrated with her friends - Alli Sims, Sam Lufti, Paris Hilton, and Sharon Stone. Though I think she had to pay Paris and Sharon to show up. Her party was at the Scandinavian Mansion of Style.

I don't know what the hell this outfit is. Britney looks terrible. If I was her friend I seriously would ask her to go home and change before I could be seen in public with her.

Did Britney take a handsome young man back to her hotel with her as a birthday present?


Morning Goods: Brian Austin Green, White House mugshots, Jake Gyllenhaal + Tobey Maguire

  • Guess who's shooting at the paparazzi? He was so cute on Beverly Hills 90210.

  • CNN scrambles after they failed to catch the connection between retired general, Keith H. Kerr, and Sen. Hillary Clinton. Mr. Kerr's question about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" at the CNN/YouTube Republican Presidential Debate was selected and he was in the audience to speak in St. Petersburg, FL. Some say he should have disclosed and Clinton's campaign took a lot of heat over it - but really CNN should have done some better investigating.

  • Check out the White House mugshots of your favorite tyrants. George H.W. Bush, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney - they are all there.

  • Are Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal already fueding on the set of their new film, Brothers? Sources say a storm is brewing between the two hearthtrobs over exclusive rights to the sole make-up artist on set. “They each want their own retoucher, but the producers don’t think it’s necessary and don’t see why they can’t share,” an on-set source told Star Magazine. Can someone please tell me why people still think Jake Gyllenhaal isn't gay?

  • George Clooney cruised in men's bathroom

    George Clooney was recently cruised in a men's bathroom stall in New Jersey while shooting a new film. Apparently the perpetrator also had a wide stance like Sen. Larry Craig.

    The video was created to send their congratulations to American Cinematheque 2007 honoree Julia Roberts.


    Monday Hottie: Colt Brennan

    It's not very common that you'll find football here on DyerTimes but today is just one of those days. I first caught a glimpse of this stud while working out at the gym - and whether it was the workout or my stalker skills - I had to find out more about him. Wasn't too hard.

    Meet Colt Brennan. The amazing quarterback for Hawaii who also happens to be a Heisman Trophy hopeful. This senior has led his team to an undefeated season this year and more importantly, he's quite nice to look at.


    DAVID BECKHAM'S EMPORIO ARMANI UNDERWEAR CAMPAIGN

    Though David Beckham sat a majority of this season out for the Los Angeles Galaxy he certainly kept things hot elsewhere in his life. This summer it was rumored that Becks would be the new "face" - can you say face when talking about underwear? - of Emporio Armani's underwear campaign. Keep an eye out for billboards in your neighborhood - at least if you live near Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, Milan, Rome, and Los Angeles.

    Here's your first glimpses of that campaign. Hot. Hot. Hot. Happy Hanukkah!

    Of course his detractors are screaming that there has been some "stuffing" going on in the picture but I'm not so sure of that myself. Take a look at this older picture of Becks featured on some foreign magazine cover. (BTW, if any readers know this magazine let me know!)

    Looks pretty convincing to me. If I ever meet Posh I do believe I might just knock her skinny ass right out. How an alien like her gets to keep a stud like Becks all to herself is beyond me.

    In the meantime...enjoy!

    Get Yer Shop On, Betches!

    Shopaholics, fashion whores, wannabes, teen queens, homos, and bears high schoolers will be rejoicing this weekend. Why?

    The brand spankin' new Urban Outfitters on Milwaukee's Eastside will be opening their doors this Friday, December 14th. Oh, and for those of you that need a job they are also hiring. The store is on the corner of E. Kenilworth and N. Prospect. Get on it betches!


    Gerard Butler to Jeffrey Dean Morgan: You Touch Mine & I'll Touch Yours

    Everyone's favorite Scotsman, Gerard Butler, was recently promoting his new film, P.S. I Love You, with costars Hillary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The boys started having a bit too much fun with each other's assets. Here's what Gerry had to say to People magazine:

    "Jeffrey Dean Morgan rubbing my ass, yeah that's about as good as it gets!"

    Gerry grabs Jeff's and then Jeff grabs Gerry's.

    Isn't that nice. Poor Hillary is left to grab her own....

    And since you can never get enough of that sexy beast Gerry Butler - and since I'm home for a snow day - here's some other eye candy. Ever notice how he can make that half-open mouth thing look so damn hot!


    Niblets: Pollution, Torture, Spice Girls, Imus...

    Leave it to Texas. Everything is big there - including their pollution.

    The Spice Girls reunited. And this time they have their own plane.

    Shia LaBeouf gets off.

    Amy Winehouse plans one last blow out before entering rehab.

    He's back on air and at it again. Don Imus to Jay Severin: "Why don't you like Huckabee? Because you're gay or what?"

    It came from the White House. Former CIA Interrogator carried out torture because he was told to from the White House.

    Being Gay Kept Rupert Everett Sane. Who knew.


    Alterra Opens in Riverwest!

    Local coffee chain, Alterra, has finally opened their Riverwest cafe at the corner of Humboldt & Chambers. For those Milwaukeans that enjoy their coffee there is no substitute.

    I tend to frequent the vastly popular Prospect Avenue location because I see all kinds of important people but it will be interesting to see what kind of regulars I'll see at this new store.

    The Riverwest cafe will also serve food -breakfast burritos, sandwiches, and salads. The very large building will also play host to the Alterra Baking Company and the roastery.

    A large portion of the building is still empty until the bakery and roastery move in but overall I think I'll enjoy the new option for my coffee addiction.


    2007 Rearview: A Year in Pictures

    Dear Jake...

    I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't really been following your every move lately. I'd like to say that it isn't personal but I guess it really is. This year hasn't been very good for you.

    Don't get me wrong. I still think you're the jelly to my peanut butter but I can't stomach this whole Reese thing. I thought you'd keep this publicity stunt going just long enough to promote Rendition but you've gone off the deep end.

    You haven't been yourself. People, US Weekly and all those other rags keep trying to tell me you and Reese are smitten with each other but I know better. That look in your eye when you two are together surely doesn't seem like love to me - it more resembles fear. Actually, more like terror.

    You've been giving horrible interviews too. Like when you were on Jonathan Ross' show. I could see the dark storm clouds orbiting your pretty little head. I know you got worried with the whole gay thing and his flamboyant singers but honestly it's almost 2008 - it would be safe to come out. And then you punched some paparazzi too! Well, I guess those bastards deserve to get hit every now and then but that really isn't you.

    I'm hoping you figure it all out in 2008. I'll still be your biggest fan even if you make terrible movies again. Like Bubble Boy. And I'm not that wounded that you never returned my call. I guess you got busy.

    Talking about 2008, I'm really digging that bad boy look you've got for your new film.

    I've always been a sucker for tattoos. Yes, I know it is not really real but you might consider really getting inked. I've never really liked that silly dragon you have on your back anyways.

    I hope you got the birthday card in the mail. According to our charts we should make a great couple, as I've been telling you for years. Aries + Sagittarius = match made in heaven.

    Well, I'll try to get excited about following your every move again but until you dump Reese and make Chris move out I can't make any promises. That new film, Brothers, better be good.

    P.S. - You really should reach out to Heath. I know you enjoyed making Brokeback Mountain with him and if you haven't seen him in awhile he's not doing so well. I think they call him a hobosexual now. That's just one letter away from what most people call you. Give him a call.
