Maksim Chmerkovskiy heads to Madeo with his mates

Just because Dancing with the Stars is currently on break, it doesn’t mean you have to wait for a new season to check out Maksim Chmerkovskiy! The Ukranian hottie was photographed as he made his way out of Madeo restaurant in West Hollywood, California on Tuesday, July 12th, 2011 after enjoying dinner with some friends.

Maksim’s fellow DWTS pro (and ex-fiance!) Karina Smirnoff went on record yesterday to tell the world she would love to partner up with John Stamos for the upcoming season! Which got me thinking who fans would like to see paired up with Maks when the show returns on ABC?

Trevor Donovan and the cast of 90210 hit the beach

With temperatures getting nearly unbearable in most U.S. cities, it’s prompting folks to head to the beach in droves. Things are no different in the imaginary world created by Rob Thomas, Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs for their show 90210!

Lead actors Annalynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds and even Trevor Donovan (who was downgraded to guest star this season) stripped down for a day at the beach on Tuesday, July 12th, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.

I’m so loving Annalynne’s bikini with the beautiful black and gold detail around her neck. What a great way to take a regular looking suit up a notch!

The only thing I can find wrong with this picture is the lack of a shirtless Matt Lanter!

Melissa McCarthy Gets Schooled By Joel McHale

Being a part of any type of awards show in Hollywood is big. So, naturally announcing the nominations for the Primetime Emmy’s is just kinda huge. If you were one of the lucky celebs to be graced with this honor, how would you prepare for the special occasion?

Bridemaids star Melissa McCarthy enlisted the help of comedian and star of Community, Joel McHale, to teach her the ways of announcing the highly anticipated Emmy nominations in the latest promotional video for the primetime awards. The actress is put through the tasks of showing no emotion with a puppy, waxing his car, box, fold laundry, catch golf balls with her mouth, and even try and catch a chicken, which obviously have nothing to do with the job, but are just funny to watch!

Melissa, along with Joshua Jackson, will be revealing the nominations this Thursday, July 14th at 8:40 a.m. ET in Hollywood.

Elijah Wood disses Florida on the Late Late Show!

Ooh I love you Elijah Wood but after watching your interview with Craig Ferguson I might have to reconsider! It’s a good thing that I will be sitting face to face with you during Comic Con so that we may discuss your reasons for not only disliking Florida but for dissing my entire state on television!

Granted, you do mention that you have never made it down to Miami so I will forgive you just this one time. I am also considering an impromptu salsa lesson for the press room to help sway your opinions.

But I digress…

The adorable Elijah Wood visited with the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson where he chats a bit about his new show Wilfred, his fabulous grey shoes, music he likes, and The Hobbit.

For my fellow San Diego Comic Con goers, you can catch the official Wilfred panel which will take place on Thursday, July 21st from 6:15pm to 7:30 pm in Room 6A. A special autograph signing will also take place at the Fox Booth from 3:30-4:45 pm on the same day.

*NOTE: The video is slightly out of sync but I wasn’t the uploader. It is still watchable though!

Alexander Skarsgard confirmed for San Diego Comic Con!

Fellow Truebies: Were you as disappointed last year when Alexander Skarsgard was a no show at San Diego Comic Con? Yes, even I half hoped that when they announced the entire cast that he would saunter on and drive the crowds completely insane.

Sadly, we were greeted by a cardboard cut out ending any dream we had of seeing our sexy sheriff on stage at the Con. News earlier this month from HBO announcing the cast attending this year also had ASkars missing from the list.

Last year he was busy shooting Battleship so I forgave him but this year?!

News JUST hit Twitter that he will in fact be making our dreams comes true as Mr. Skarsgard himself will be joining Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Joe Manganiello, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Nelsan Ellis, Deborah Ann Woll, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Alejandro and of course Mr. Alan Ball during the True Blood Panel and Q&A session on Friday, July 22nd, 2011 from 5:30-6:30 in Ballroom 20.

NERDGASM!

Make sure you follow our official Twitter feed here, as we will be there to witness this amazing panel.
