Curb Watch: Vanessa Hudgens Goes Down Curb In Freaky-Ankle Boots

Since we’re not shoe experts, maybe one of you ladies can help us classify Vanessa’s shoes. Do those babies fall into the wedge category or are those ankle boots or maybe just freaky-looking lace-up shoes? Whatever the case, you can tell Vanessa just bought them & desperately wanted to show them off to the papz. Since she probably Googles herself (like every other Hollywood celeb), maybe she’ll find this post and read Skillgan’s opinion (HIGHLY DOUBTFUL since all our posts are on page 30+ on Google and also b/c Vanessa despises us).

These latest photos were snapped earlier today the former Disney starlet-turned naughty up & coming star stopped off at a Unocal 76 for gas before hitting up Milk Studios for a photo shoot.

Aside from “Spring Breakers,” Vanessa’s next film set to hit theaters is the drama “Gimme Shelter,” which is an indy flick written & directed by Ron Krauss and stars Brendan Fraser, Rosario Dawson & James Earl Jones. The film will hit theaters (probably limited release) on November 8. As one of the main character, Vanessa takes up the role of a pregnant teenager who runs away from her abusive mother (Rosario Dawson) and traces her real father (Brendan Fraser). Don’t know about you drones, but This sounds like a film that should be screening at film festivals as opposed to “Spring Breakers,” but we won’t complain too much. Anyway, here’s some plot action:

16 year old street-wise Apple (Vanessa Hudgens) has never had an easy life. Her mother, June Bailey (Rosario Dawson), is an addict and prostitute, is verbally and physically abusive, and is grooming her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Apple knows the streets, alleys and motels like the back of her hand but wants more from her life. She possesses a tenacious, tough, indomitable spirit, and will not surrender to fate. Apple runs away from her mother and tracks down her father whom she has never known, as he was only 19 when he got Apple’s mother pregnant. Apple begs her now Wall Street Broker father, Tom Fitzpatrick (Brendan Fraser), to take her in. In the few days under her father’s care, she learns she’s become pregnant by a kid from the streets she met on the train, who now wants nothing to do with her. She is forced to leave her father’s home because of her choice to give birth to the baby she is carrying.

Apple runs away again, and is eventually taken under the wing of Father McCarthy (James Earl Jones), the chaplain of the local hospital after almost getting herself killed. He offers to let Apple live at a shelter for pregnant young women run by a spiritual woman named Kathy (Ann Dowd). It is here that Apple begins to tentatively interact with the other girls who are in the same predicament as she and gradually begins to make a family for herself. Source

Ravens hold off late Browns rally in Thursday NFL action

News around the NFL circled late Wednesday that the regular officials were back. A deal was reached, the normal officials were back (to a standing ovation of all things) and NFL fans around the country could focus on what they wanted most, football. Last night the Ravens were led by Joe Flacco and fought off a frisky Browns team late to take the victory 23-16. This was supposed to be a blowout (Ravens were favored by 12) and it was supposed to be another Thursday night blowout but that wasn’t the case. Maybe it was the rainy weather, maybe it was the regular officiating but this game started slow and ended with another hail mary. The Ravens held the lead for the most part of the game but they game never felt like it was over, give the Browns credit for that. Joe Flacco had the Ravens offense going, primarily targeting WR Anquan Boldin but Brown’s rookie QB Brandon Weeden looked surprisingly poised out there. It also didn’t hurt the Browns that their rookie RB Trent Richardson had a solid game, power running the stout Ravens defense on various occasions. Like most rookie QBs on the road against an experienced Ravens defense, mistakes almost seem inevitable. It came late in the 3rd quarter as the Browns were driving. Weeden threw an interception that was taken back for a score. In the end the final rally by the Browns faltered and the Ravens went on to take the victory at home.

A lot of attention was being placed on the referee’s first game back and whether or not there would be a difference, specifically improvement. I noticed a change almost immediately, the game just felt like it was more in control when penalties were being called or when there would be players shoving each other a bit. For the most part fans accepted the regular referees and the work that they did but a standing ovation seems a little much, especially when booing was heard halfway through the first quarter. Either way I think fans are just relieved that football will return to normal for the rest of the season.

Upset pick of the week: Against the spread Panthers AT Falcons (-7) because I like Cam Newton to break out and keep this game close.

Butter is the upcoming comedy starring Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde, Rob Corddry, Ashley Greene, Alicia Silverstone and Hugh Jackman. According to the Wiki, “The film is said to be a satire of the 2008 Democratic Presidential primary. Look for Butter in theaters on October 5th.

A young orphan (Shahidi) discovers her uncanny talent for butter sculpture in an Iowa town where her adoptive family lives. The talent pits her against the ambitious wife (Garner) of the reigning champion (Burrell) in the annual butter sculpture competition. [Wiki]

Shia Labeouf Cruises Around In A Classic 1975 Checker Marathon

These were snapped yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles as Shia Labeouf was seen taking his classic 1975 Checker Marathon out for a morning coffee run to Starbucks. How can you drive a car like that & hit up Starbucks of all places? You’d think Shia would be more conscious of local coffee joints, not to mention better quality coffee.

As some of you bastards might know, Shia is currently filming director Las Von Trier’s latest freaky project “Nymphomaniac,” which also stars Stellan Skarsgård, Connie Nielsen, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Wikipedia is labeling it as a “pornographic drama film,” so naturally it should be very interesting to see what’s up when this thing hits theaters on May 30, 2013. For the record, Liam Hemsworth was originally supposed to be the lead but I guess he got scared away from all the dirty scenes.

Here’s Shia dropping his thoughts on the film & the role, “The movie is what you think it is. It is Lars von Trier, making a movie about what he’s making. For instance, there’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we’re doing it for real. Everything that is illegal, we’ll shoot in blurred images. Other than that, everything is happening.” Later he went on to admit that he’s “terrified” to film the movie “Because von Trier’s dangerous. He scares me. And I’m only going to work now when I’m terrified.” (Hollywood Reporter)

Here’s more juice about the film:

Joe (Gainsbourg), who is a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac is found by Seligman (Skarsgård) beaten in an alley. Seligman takes her home to care for her, and Joe recounts the story of her life, from birth to the age of 50. (Wiki)

Rihanna Workin’ Near-Perfect Style As She Leaves London For NYC

As you guys know, Rih-Rih doesn’t sit still, so she’s been in London for a few days promoting her latest single “Diamonds,” which debuted on Wednesday. These photos were snapped as she spotted catwalking through London Heathrow in a very sexy getup. Needless to say, this will definitely be in the running for Sexiest Airport Outfit of the Year.

When the 24-year-old Caribbean-flavored beauty was later seen arriving at her NYC hotel (probably the Trump SoHo) in a similar outfit, except this time her midriff was covered & she had on a fresh pair of red Air Jordan 5s (I think). Over the years Rihanna has gone through countless looks, but I gotta admit, this latest look is growing on me. OWW!
