COVER STORY ... ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Zooey Deschanel isn't my favorite actress so it always suprises me when I see her working as an actress. How does one go from TNT's Tin Man to starring in M.Night Shyamalan's The Happening. So I guess it is fitting to have Zooey on the cover of Lucky Magazine's July 2008 issue. Your welcome!

TOUCHE LILY ALLEN...PEREZ REBUTEL?

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!...

"One time I had a dream that I met my dad and he was really nice. In the dream he bought me cotton candy and penis. It tasted really good! Yummy in my tummy!" OMG! This kid is amazing. I Need to meet Fred so bad.

COVER STORY... ANGELINA JOLIE

Yesssss my favorite pair of lips is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. The Lips hit newsstands Friday.

BROOKE SHIELDS ON THE VIEW

Brooke Shields tells the girls of The View how she walks on glass... Weird!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN BENNETT

No mean girls allowed at this party. The Beautiful people made their way out to Cabo Cantina on sunset for actor Jonathan Bennett's birthday. It was like a Hollywood fiesta. With attendees such as Rumer Willis to big screen actors like Andrew Garfield who was getting kissy face with girlfriend Shannon Woodward. I hear Jonathan got a special birthday phone call from Josh Groban. You're welcome!

THATS NOT VERY NICE MARKY MARK!

Mark Wahlberg is being a total D-bag to the Beckhams. Rumor has it that it's because the couple denied a threesome with the ex- rapper. With good reason because I hear that Mr. Wahlberg is quite the man whore.

Mark tells the Daily Mail-“That fucker lives down the road from me, man! He has to go back to the UK, because he has the paparazzi all over my house. The two of them have paparazzi everywhere,” the douche continues on with, “I was in the UK for the last week and they don’t want him back there. They said, ‘Keep him over there!’”

COVER STORY... HEIDI KLUM

Check out the Super-faboulous Supermodel Supermom on the July 2008 issue of Redbook.

KATY PERRY BLOGS TOO...

wrap me in ur maple goodness from Katy Perry on Vimeo.

SHARING IS CARING ...

That right y'all, it's a motto I have lived by my whole life. So I found it serendipitous that the social network ShareNow wanted to work with me. So you may notice a slight change with the blog's surroundings but it will continue being the same content that you've come to expect from www.markusisthedrug.com. We are trying to next level it of course. So as Fred would say, "Peace. Around the world. For generations."

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER DRAMA ...

First the carjacking and now a car accident. Not cute! This happened Sunday evening on June 8th. I'm still not sure what happened, but from what I've been told, the other driver was at fault. My friend Thomas was driving and I have little to no memory of the crash or that night. We both managed to walk away without broken bones. So go us!

KATY PERRY IS YOUNG AND RESTLESS ...

She's giving me Dynasty!

MEET GINA...

by Pierre Baltadano


GINA is a concept vehicle from BMW that is so peculiar to me and amazing because it takes a different look at adaptability and modularity through the use of shape-shifting fabric.


Instead of using traditional materials like steel, aluminium, or the rarer materials of carbon fiber, BMW created GINA, an acronym for Geometry and functions In 'N' Adaptions (the N standing for infinite) with a lycra fabric skin coated with polyurethane. This skin is supported by a moveable metal frame that gives the driver power to change their cars shape based on driving needs. For instance, if you want more high-speed stability the car could widen and grow a larger spoiler. Even the interior can move to allow for the occupants to get in and out easily.

Of course, this car is almost impossible to build for today's world but I like where BMW is going with this concept. Whatever people may say about their new design languages (I really like them), BMW always seems to be innovating and thinking unconventionally. With GINA, BMW has taken something as wild as a concept and taken it further and I love it. But the name...could they have picked a name that doesn't sound like vaGINA? Cause that is what some kids call that body part?

THINGS AND THINGS... BUSINESS MINDED

It's a funny thing when one of your best friends becomes famous. It's like they get swooped up by a tornado frenzy. And Katy is a worker bee. She will work, work, work. Point being, the Bronx one night then the Hamptons less then 24 hours later for an album release party. A Steve Madden store opening, a slew of interviews, TRL, and the last call I got from the working girl was that she's on a flight to Canada. Gogogo. We could all get far with a bit of Katy work ethic. Think more Business minded today y'all! You're welcome...

AND AS FOR THE CRACKBERRIES...

by Pierre Baltadano


BLACKBERRY BOLD

Also slated to come out in July will be the Blackberry 9000, or the Bold. The Blackberry Bold will be sold exclusively by AT&T for a few months and will most prominently feature 3G and a new User Interface (UI). As I blogged about in March, this Blackberry is the first phone that's made me wanna ditch my iPhone because the exterior is pretty slick and the UI looks fresh.



BLACKBERRY THUNDER 9500

For the Verizon kids, Blackberry maker RIM, should be announcing the yet to be named Blackberry 9500, though the name Thunder is going around. This device is slated to be released in the 3 Quarter of the year and will feature a touchscreen. I know touchscreens look slick but I heard that Blackberry wasn't into making them because physical keys made better sense to them, so it's an interesting about face.

MACWORLD EXPO: WWDC 2008

by Pierre Baltadano



As early as around 1:30 PM yesterday, the first person lined up for Apple, Inc. CEO Steve Jobs' Keynote address that went on today at 10:00 AM.

There were announcements and demos regarding the iPhone Applications Store and the many developers that have een working on new programs that will be available for download soon. Games were demo'd along with new apps that tap into "new" location finding features in the iPhone and some other more boring apps showed up too. Boring to non-nerds.

There was also an announcement for a new Apple service called mobileme, which is replacing their .mac service. This new service is sync-crazy! Photos, files, mail, contacts, calenders, etc. are capable of push, or instant, updating, meaning that all your devices will be on the same page; the lappy, the iPhone, and the home computer. As Apple stated, it's "Exchange for the rest of us." All existing .mac users can transition over for free and others will pay the same as .mac, $99.00 a year (if you are getting a computer, consider buying mobileme then cause its cheaper that way). Still boring for most non-nerds I guess.

New iPhone! This time, it is a bit thinner, slightly curvier, almost-Wi-Fi fast, better battery life, GPS. AND, it's cheaper...$199 cheap for the 8GB version - the first 8GB iPhone was $599 and then $399.00! The 16GB model will also come in white and retail for $299.00. The bummer for me...no 32GB capacity, same camera without flash, and no front facing camera for video chatting (it's shown up in the patents so we should see it at some point). The iPhone 3G will be available July 11, throughout 22 countries.

AMY WINEHOUSE IS A CRACK HEAD AND A RACIST...

The British tabloids are having a field day with Grammy winner Amy Winehouse's new video where she is singing the children's classic rhyme "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." Amy has tweaked a few of the words - “Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips! And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!” To here the audio click here.

HAPPY GAY SHAME WEEKEND...

As proud as I am for the gay people. Lets not kid ourselves and pretend we don't know what this weekend really means. Get completely wasted out of your minds. Make out with a bunch of randoms. Wake up next to the biggest mistake of your life. Then call in to work for two days trying to recover and clear up what ever you might have caught from that Jacuzzi party. What we really should be celebrating is the birth of the Clay Aiken's baby. Sooooo ummm does anyone wanna carpool over to West Hollywood?

NIGHT SWIMMING ...

Don't say "I dare you" to Andrew Garfield because Shannon and I did dare Andrew to jump into the pool at the Roosevelt Hotel and he did. I regret not doing the same. That was soooo hero style.

NYLON+MYSPACE

On June 3rd myself and fellow heroes Shannon Woodward and Andrew Garfield hit up the Nylon School of Rock party thrown by Myspace. Here's who we ran into.


Jonathan Bennett, who just finished working on a movie with Haylie Duff and Rumer Willis called Slightly Single in LA.




Audrina Patridge, Casey Patridge, and Kyle Loza... I didn't know this at the time when Audrina introduced me to Kyle Loza, but he is this amazing dirt bike X Games gold metal-winning bad ass motherfucker! Love Love Love !




Long time no see Odette Yustman. She's so gorgeous!




Boys Gone Wild! Robbie Amell. I swear this happens to me everytime I go out.


And I was ever so excited to run into The Lady Tigra aka Switch Blade Kitty

THE TSA IS USING X-RAY VISION AND I DON'T LIKE IT...

by Pierre Baltadano


If you have ever flown through London Heathrow, then you might have been one of the lucky ones, as I was when I had a beard, to be pulled aside to this three walled sectional that scans your body. Now these scanners can see EVERYTHING. They are SUPPOSED to tone it down so that the details aren't seen, but some people can't be trusted (gingers!). Now, the U.S.'s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has authorized and started using the scanners at several major airports, including LAX and JFK, with many more to be added. The TSA says it protects privacy by blurring passengers' faces and deleting images right after viewing. Yet the images are detailed, clearly showing a person's gender. 'You can actually see the sweat on someone's back,'" said James Schear, TSA Director at Baltimore/Washiongton's BWI Airport. That is some bull because a lot of people just don't know that they are being scanned and that their faces and privates are only blurred until after the scanner is done with them. Now I wonder, which celebrities have been exposed to this?

JODIE SWEETIN'S BABY MADE WITH METH...

I mean love. Stephanie Tanner loves being a drug addict. I mean mother. Jodie Tanner tells People Magazine, "I'm very lucky to have made it through to the other side." I'm pretty sure she was stoned giving this interview. I think she may be talking about making it through to the other side of the K hole she's been in for nine months. Well it's a good thing People Mag gave the "former" drug addict cash money to appear on the cover. Now Stephanie Sweetin don't go spend that whole hundred on one fix. Just kidding I love her. Bless her speedy Speed-induced beating heart. Oh and possible baby names for the baby are Bookshelf or Sandstorm.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER ON "THE VIEW"

Sarah Jessica Parker talks about the daunting responsibility of producing a movie.

So the 3rd time was the charm. I was finally able to see Sex and The City. You know what? I loved it and I hated it. I loved seeing the amazing fashion. I hated how looooooong it was. I hated Jennifer Hudson's acting. Sorry, I know people love her. I just don't she's any good. But you KNOW I cant wait for the sequel.

LILLY ALLEN GETS CRUNK AT THE 2008 GLAMOUR AWARDS...

IT'S BETTER IN REAL LIFE ...

So it's Sunday and my friend PJ picks me up to watch the Sex and the City movie at the Arclight. I assumed he bought tickets. He assumed tickets would be available because of all the back to back showings of it. Not the case. Every showing SOLD OUT! So what next? Were already out so we decide to go to my favorite restaurant Dominick's. We get seated and guess who's having dinner? - Carrie and Standford AKA Sarah Jessica Parker and her co-star Willie Garson. No joke. I was freaking out. My back was facing them so I had PJ give me a play by play. FYI she looked amazing. Sporting some fabulous arm candy. GOGOGO. It made my night. Life's funny like that.

TATUM O'NEAL IS NOT BLAMING IT ON THE RAIN...

She's blaming it on her dog. Yes y'all! The youngest person to win an Academy Award at age 10 for her role in Paper Moon is using the oldest excuse in the book for her recent run in with the NYPD. Tatum "Line It Up" O'Neal was arrested on the Lower East Side of Manhattan on Sunday for attempting to purchase cocaine. Her excuse to the New York Post-

“I lost my Scottish terrier, Lena, [three weeks ago.] That seemed to set me off,” Tatum said. “She got old. She got cancer. She was the fabric of our family. We had to let her go to heaven. My daughter and I had to put her down. It was too horrible for words. Just when I was about to change that and wreck my life, the cops came and saved me! I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the Seventh Precinct.”



Honey if lost my dog the last thing I would want to do is stay up all night blowing rails thinking about it. I would understand if she was buying Vicodin. Oh and smooth move thanking New York's Seventh Precinct for ringing your bell. Now, where's the fold?

MEET FRED...

RIP Yves Saint Laurent

Long time friend Pierre Berge released the news of the great fashion legend's death. Yves Saint Laurent died at age 71 in his home in Paris following a long illness.
Saint Laurent changed the way women dressed by designing the elegant pantsuit that basically defined how the modern women dressed.
This is a great loss for the fashion world! Saint Laurent was considered the last of the greats of his generation alongside Christian Dior and Coco Chanel...
