The smoking hot Heroes star has a new movie that opened last week about the high school nerd in love with a hot cheerleader.  As terrible as I Love You, Beth Cooper looks, if you are forced to see this movie atleast you will have some great eye candy.  There are even rumors of a nude shower scene…  Despite the stupid tattoo she recently got, we’re still big fans.  Also check out Panettiere when Heroes returns in September.

Summer is in full swing and is a great time to liven up your diet by grilling some of your favorite protein sources.  Grilling can be a great alternative to your usual cooking methods and adds a lot of flavor to your chicken, beef and seafood.  While enjoying a flavorful and healthy meal, be sure to follow these tips:

1. Go Lean-While a fattier burger is recommended for taste due to the juiciness of the meat, try to stick to your leaner cuts of ground beef and steak.  For an alternative to your typical beef burger, reach for ground turkey or bison.

2. Fish-Instead of grabbing another can of tuna, try a tuna steak on the grill or a piece of salmon.  Throw some fresh asparagus on the grill as well and you’ve got a healthy low-carb meal.

3. Fruit-As an alternative to heavier desserts such as cakes and pies, try grilling some fresh peaches for a unique taste that still won’t ruin your diet.  Skip the sugar as the grill will bring out the natural sugars in the peaches.

The Bruno movie opens this weekend and will try to follow up Sacha Baron Cohen’s success of Borat. For those of you who did not watch Da Ali G Show, Bruno just may be the funniest character that Cohen does. Bruno is a flamoyant gay Austrian fashion journalist who is very successful at making people feel very uncomfortable. Previes from the movie include interviewing an actual terrorist and staging a live cage fight in Fort Smith, Arkansas that turns a little too touchy feely for the boys in the South.

Check out one of the funniest clips from the show as Bruno tricks some total meatballs into performing on Bruno’s fake Austrian Gay TV.
