MacGruber Trailer

The SNL skit turned full length feature "MacGruber" premieres at SXSW Monday night(3/15) at 9:30pm at The Paramount Theater. Walking the red carpet will be stars Will Forte, Kristin Wiig and Ryan Phillippe.

The film also features bad guy Val Kilmer - who barely even resembles Iceman anymore. It's a shame really.

Oh, and speaking of shame, here's the trailer:



Did we just see the whole movie?

SXSW Perez Party 2010

We know Perez is coming back.

He tweeted this in late Feb:

@perezhilton Doing it bigger this year!!! My SXSW party in Austin next month is going to have not one but TWO stages! Amazing!!!! #SXSW”

We also know he will be releasing the artists playing his party, as he has in past years, daily during the week leading up to the bash.

What we don't know is if the party will once again take place in the old Safeway location off I-35 at East 11th/12th.

The building, currently for lease, was painted pink with blue accent this week. Obviously, pink is Perez's signature color and blue was the accent color used on the VIP passes last year. So, will the self proclaimed Queen of All Media be setting up stage(or two as he tweeted) in the same locale? We shall see.

BTW - I can't imagine why else owners would paint a building they are looking to lease out pink. I'm just sayin'.

OH, and did anyone else see this post on perezhilton.com about our very own Leslie Chochran?

Everybody loves Leslie!

KGSR announces FOUR SEASON lineup for SXSW

From Austin:

Nakia
Alpha Rev
Amy Cook
A Stephen Bruton Tribute
Kat Edmonson
The Trishas
Bob Schneider

(more to be announced)

And welcoming to Austin:

John Haitt

(more to be announced)

Plus, they will help debut The Court Yard Hounds, the new band featuring The Dixie Chicks' Emily Robison and Martie Maguire.

A $5 donation to the Seton Shivers Cancer Foundation gets you in the door and secures you a morning of music and great Four Seasons coffee and breakfast tacos. Admission each morning is first-come, first-serve.

Their morning music series is presented by IFC and brought to you in part by Chem-free Organic Pest & Lawn Services, The Salt Lick Barbeque, and Louis Shanks Fine Furniture.

Of course, I am most excited for She & Him and The Court Yard Hounds since they feature people I consider "celebs."And Bob, of course. Though I'm still afraid of him.
