Jesus Luz pics: Madonna, Jesus Luz W Magazine photos/video


Madonna has a new boyfriend and he's 22 years old! Jesus Luz is the name he's apparently the pop diva's new boy toy as reported by several online entertainment sites. Madonna and Jesus Luz apparently met during the two's very provocative pictorial for a 46-page feature in the March issue of W Magazine. The issue is coming out soon but its main stars have "come out" earlier. The photos are taken by celebrated photographer Steven Klein.

With the theme "Blame It On Rio", Madonna and Jesus Luz, allegedly only 22 years old as opposed to Madonna's 50, the W magazine pictorial

features the two cavorting in a Rio de Janeiro hotel room in various poses and stages of undress. Say W magazine of the feature, "Amid sultry settings and irresistible distractions, Madonna falls under the spell of Rio de Janeiro."

The press is presently having a blast with this piece of gossip ever since Madonna and Jesus Luz were spotted together since that December pictorial. Recently, they were seen having dinner in New York with Madonna's children. No word from either camp denying or confirming the currently hot rumors.

Inglourious Basterds: movie trailer/preview 'Inglourious Basterds'


A sneak peek of the Quentin Tarantino movie 'Inglourious Basterds' has been released recently by Entertainment Tonight preceding the official release of the trailer later this week. 'Inglourious Basterds' (once entitled 'Inglourious Bastards') is an upcoming ensemble war film/spaghetti western set for release in time for the Cannes Film Festival in May. According to The Hollywood Reporter, two story lines converge: One follows a group of prisoners-turned-soldiers whose mission is to take down a group of Nazis. This group is known as The Basterds. The other story follows a young Jewish woman, played by Shosanna Dreyfus, who seeks to avenge the death of her parents by this

He bears a rope burn on his neck, which will never be mentioned in the film. The preview clip below features a scene showing Brad Pitt as he introduces himself as the leader of the group he just formed.

scoop: Katherine Heigl, TR Knight leaving Grey's Anatomy!


Katherine Heigl and TR Knight are definitely leaving Grey's Anatomy, the hit medical drama that was instrumental in making these two actors famous. This was confirmed by one of their co-stars in a recent ambush interview in Los Angeles. After months of rumors and speculation, inside information and "anonymous sources", it looks like the two actors from Grey's Anatomy are on their way out.

James Pickens, who plays DR. Richard Webber on the show, spilled the beans during a recent appearance at the NAACP Image Awards in Beverly Hills saying that Katherine Heigl is leaving Grey's Anatomy

for good. When reporters asked him about it, this was what he had to say, "Yes, she is. Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best." Apparently, Heigl is leaving to pursue other projects in the industry. This followed months of speculation that she is leaving after her refusal to put her name in for Emmy consideration and the time she has devoted more time to producing a film version of Carolyn Jessop's book Escape.

With regards to TR Knight, Pickens also confirmed his departure. "He's going too," Pickens continued. "He just wanted to pursue other career paths." This follows rumors that Knight has been asking producers to let him out of his contract. According to reports, Knight complains to Katherine Heigl a lot during taping and thinks his continued presence brings down the energy on the set.

No official word yet from the producers or writers of the show about these revelations from James Pickens. Although his word may be considered reliable, it will not be official until the creators of the series make an official announcement. Let's wait and see.
