Alexander Skarsgård knows how to photo bomb at pic.
While his siblings were seen sitting on a couch, the True Blood star popped in the back corner of the shot and flexed his famous muscles for the camera.
I always say “when you’ve got a Porsche, you don’t keep it in the garage.”
While chatting with Conan O’Brien last month he explained that he became accustomed to nudity while growing up in his less-than usual household.
“My dad and his side of the family are old hippies,” he revealed. “I was 14 the first time I saw my dad wearing pants. He was always naked.”
Last night was the opening of the new Cirque du Soleil show Michael Jackson ONE at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. And when Cirque named this show “ONE” with capital letters, they meant it. This is ‘The ONE.’
From Cirque du Soliel’s press release:
Michael Jackson ONE is a sonic, tonic fusion of acrobatics, dance and visuals that takes the audience on an immersive journey through the music and spirit of Michael Jackson.
Driven by Michael’s powerful, multi-layered music – heard like never before in a riveting, state-of-the-art surround-sound environment – ONE takes the audience through a series of seamless visual and musical tableaux, at the heart of a world that is in turn majestic, playful, magical and heart-warming.
In Michael Jackson ONE, Michael’s artistry and spirit are expressed through the vibrant energy of the cast of 63 dancers and performers, underscored by aerial performance, driving acrobatics, and vivid choreographies that use the urban/hip hop idiom as a springboard for exploration.
ONE is a heartfelt tribute to the work, innovative spirit, and legacy of Michael Jackson – the King of Pop, the genius, the visionary, the One.
The world premiere attracted celebrities including Justin Bieber, Neil Patrick Harris, Ryan Kwanten, Allison Janney and Alfre Woodard. Also in attendance were Michael Jackson’s brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie.
From beat one the audience in immersed in the world and music of Michael Jackson. Where Cirque’s first tribute to Jackson, Immortal, was a huge stadium-sized event that left some critics lukewarm – not enough MJ, not enough Cirque – this is all Cirque and all Jackson.
The acts are spectacular and each has it’s own relationship to Michael’s music videos, dance moves and life. “Michael Jackson ONE” gets it right taking the audience on an amazing journey.
This is easily one of the best shows Cirque has created that takes a known entity and brings that to life in the fabulous world that can only be Cirque.
In addition, the opening night gala was a great time on the Mandalay Beach. Food and drink were everywhere, and I met two of my FAVORITE actors, Alfre Woodard (who sat behind me during the show and hugged me during the curtain call as we all danced) and Ryan Kwanten (of True Blood). Michael and I spent a long time with Ryan and his girlfriend Ashley at the party, and both could not have been more down to earth and fun.
Great night.

Cosmo: What are we going to see you doing on your new show?
Ryan Lochte: My biggest passion is swimming, but it’s a sport that doesn’t really get talked about until the Olympics, unlike baseball, football, and bas ketball, which are on TV all the time. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to do this show. I want people to enjoy the sport as much as I do. My whole family swims! You can pretty much say chlorine runs in our veins.
Cosmo: What about your family? We hear you’re tight with them. Will they be on the show? Ryan Lochte: Yeah, they’re the most important thing to me. I was raised in a big family [Ryan, 28, is the third of five kids], and most of them live just two hours away from me in Florida. Plus, one of my brothers lives with me. We do everything together—golfing, playing video games, taking the dogs to the park. He’s finishing up his last year of college, so I’m kinda like the dad in the house, keeping him in line, pushing him out of the house so he’s not late to work.
Cosmo: Are you currently seeing anyone? Will we see you dating?
Ryan Lochte: I am a single guy right now, but you’ll see me going on dates. I need someone who is able to hold her own—if a girl is really independent, that’s a turn-on for me. And she doesn’t have to play a sport for me to be interested in her! But if a girl smokes, that’s a big turn-off.
Cosmo: Who do you talk to about your dating life?
Ryan Lochte: I know my family would never steer me wrong, so I go to them for advice. And if I go on more than a couple of dates with one girl, it could get to that point where she would meet the Lochtes.
Cosmo: A couple of dates?! That’s fast!
Ryan Lochte: I mean, I gotta feel comfortable with her in order for that to happen! But I want a best friend and a lover at the same time. And I want her to make me laugh. I like someone who doesn’t care what people think—who’s not afraid of making a fool out of herself.
Director Jon M. Chu told me that the bar scene with Tatum, Cotrona, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was cut and re-shot early last year — before the film’s release date was pushed from June 2012 to this weekend — without Cotrona because it wasn’t successfully conveying the warmth of the relationship between Tatum and Johnson’s characters. “It was more plot-driven,” Chu said. “It didn’t set the tone right for movie. We wanted something a little more jokey.” So out went Cotrona, and in went a scene of Tatum and Johnson bonding while playing a military videogame. With their shirts on.
Kellan Lutz caught during a break showing off his buff shirtless body during a photo shoot for Men’s Folio Indonesia’s March/April 2013 issue.
Lutz is featured in the publication to promote his new film Java Heat, which will open in Indonesia on April 18 before hitting theaters in the US on May 10.
Java Heat follows an American (played by Lutz) in Indonesia who teams up with a Muslim cop to track down a terrorist.
