> Jesse McCartney tells British rag AXM that if he were to choose a "Brokeback Mountain style co-star" it'd be Emile Hirsch or Shia LaBoeuf. The 21-year-old heartthrob -- most famous for his simpering pop hits and a role on the lost WB TV show Summerland -- also gave the thumbs up to David Beckham as his fashion icon saying, "Beckham's a stud's man." We've already baked the cake and hung the "Welcome to the Family!" banner in the Popnography conference room -- just let us know when it's officially official, Jesse.
> Speaking of being a Becks fan, singer Craig David (remember him?) tells the Advocate that if he were gay, he'd go after either the football star or Brad Pitt. "It’d have to be Brad Pitt," he says. "Or David Beckham -- they’re hot! You can’t deny it. Every guy in the world thinks so." Well, maybe not every guy -- though no arguments here. But we have to implore -- can we get a little originality from some of you wannabe homos? Just once we'd like to hear a "straight" guy say if he were gay he'd forge every river and climb every mountain to get the chance to bang Phllip Seymour Hoffman or Steve Buscemi.
> Martha Stewart has been refused entry into the UK due to her past conviction for conspiracy, making false statements and obstructing agency proceedings. The happy homemaker was planning to visit the country to attend business meetings. "She has engagements with English companies and business leaders and hopes this can be resolved so that she will be able to visit soon," said Charles Koppelman, chairman of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Don't start packing yet, Martha. A spokesperson for the UK Border Agency commented, "We continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe their presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offenses abroad." Which means the lazy, packrat-ish, crafty-less, or un-color coordinated on the other side of the pond are safe -- for the time being.
> Mark Ronson told Britain's Sunday Night Project that he and singer Sean Lennon once tried to watch porn with Michael Jackson. The DJ and producer -- credited with creating mega hits for Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, among others -- attended a sleepover at childhood friend Lennon's house where Jackson was also staying.
"We were just hanging out, we used to watch the porn channel because we were like ten and, 'Oh my God, tits!' Me and Sean said 'Michael do you want to see something cool?' We turned the dial to the porn channel and there were strippers shaking their tits around. We were like, 'Michael, Michael how cool is this?' We turned around and he was cringing saying, 'Ooh stop it, stop it, ooh it's so silly.' He was not down with the program whatsoever. I think he just had really strong feminist views on porn and the use of it."
"Really strong feminist views on porn"...riiiiiiiiiight. Uh-huh. That has to be it! Of course! That explains why we get Michael and Andrea Dworkin mixed up all the time.
