A short interview is in Controversy Magazine, a bimonthly Men's magazine.

News of Mark in Toronto (earlier last month) and from the Boston Herald:

"Rock Star'' Mark Wahlberg rocked out at Whiskey Park and Il Panino over the weekend, dancing up a storm until the wee hours with his ever-present posse.

Mark, who was in town visiting the rels, headed out to Whiskey Park on Saturday night and the next night, made his way to Il Panino, where he tore up the dance floor and chatted about Savin Hill, boxing and the Boys & Girls Club with Manager Jerry Maffeo.

Before calling it a night, Wahlberg sent out for burgers and wings from the Blue Diner because Il Panino's kitchen was closed.

And from From Rush & Malloy - Ny Daily News: Mark Wahlberg and his posse, all in Boston Red Sox hats, drank Buds at Serafina.

E-Factor, Mark's PA has a website under contruction. E, Mariah and I (I'm more of a behind the scene consultant at the mo) are working on making it reflect the great guy E is. The current location is temporary with a domain  to be announced. Mind you, it is not going to be MW.com Part Deux. E will still be posting updates on Mark at MW.com. E-Factor's site will be more about his projects (past/present), some which may relate to Mark (like some roles in his movies) but will be in the most part be about Eric.

Next week's EW (Photo issue with Will & Grace stars: Debra Messing/Will McCormack on the cover) has a great pic of Mark and Jennifer in their Rock Star clothes. Yes Mark is in his leather pants! Also inside is a picture of Mark with Adam Sandler and Michael Keaton at the telethon.

A pic of Mark with the finalists of the Youth of the Year is online at the Boys & Girls Club. Thanks to Newfan3 for finding the link!

Editorial from the UK, pretty negative on everyone, but Mark is the exception, he receives the biggest praise for his part in the telethon.

News on unofficial figures for the telethon, 60-80 million people watched and more than $100 million was raised. Final figures will take a few more days to calculate, but wonderful news to hear. Screen Caps of Mark at the telethon

Note I found a picture of Mark (scroll down a bit) in Toronto on the 10th, so there is no truth to those rumors (1st reported in the Boston Herald) of Mark could of been on those doomed flights.

More pics from the LA Rock Star Premiere from InStyle.

According to E, Mark will be one of the celebs manning the phones for the telethon the networks are broadcasting Friday, 9pm-11pm. The telethon will be shown on nearly every american channel, as well as radio station and be streamed into major Internet sites. Info is very sketchy because of fears of security, so you're going to have to do a bit of investigating as West Coasters (like yours truely) are stuck with tape delay! Here's the press release I posted on the MW.com boards along with E's message.

Please don't seek out Mark or Eric. They know you wish them well. We all need time to reflect and they should be allowed time as well. If you must express your feelings please leave messages in the MW.com Boards. Thanks

Some articles with Mark's reaction to the attack while in Toronto, as well as articles from last week (Sept. 9 & 6) about the digital airbrushing of Mark's 3rd nipple, his past invitation to George Christy's Toronto Film Festival party and an interview with Tim 'Ripper' Owens whose story influenced 'Rock Star'.

The auction of RS props over at E-Bay ends tomorrow around noon.

Added a bunch of interviews with Mark by Hollywood.com, LA Daily and Planet Hollywood. As well as estimates on Box office, the SF Chronicle review of RS and marketing efforts by WB.

Check out the Blood Pollution site, it looks like a fansite (it's actually by the WB), has pictures of the band and a clip of the band's performance. This of course means more Mark stuff, the clip really sounds and looks like an amateur video (bad sound). Still very cool promotional stuff.

Hollywood.com has video of the LA premiere and some pictures as well.

Launch.com has some video as well of Behind the scene and a short interview with Mark.

For more reviews of RS, Rotten Tomatoes has links to nearly every major paper's review.

Added my star pics to my report of the SF screening of Rock Star. I'll have better quality ones later, but I wanted you guys to see a bit while I mess with the Kodak CD. Also Here's my Spoiler filled review of Rock Star.

Look for next week's EW (Sept. 14 - Harry Potter cover) which has a article about Rock Star and a pic of Mark & Jen in a Limo. As well as a mixed review.

Mark was on Howard Stern this morning, and as a true night owl, I stayed up til 6am to listen to the show. Just Mark lamenting on not being able to find a girlfriend and Howard and crew asking about the numbers of  women he's been seen with. Howard claims, Mark kept on flirting with his wife. Mark then says he may have found a girl, but then rapidly backs off, not saying where, when or what the girl does or her race. A slip or a calculated statement to throw Howard? You decide. Then the infamous call ins from people who claim to have met/slept with him back in Marky Mark days. Everybody kept calling him Marky Mark! Geez Louise people! Howard also had a fan come into the studio, where they (Howard's gang) ragged on her because she said Mark was a major influence in her life. She never got a chance to explain, but managed to say she'd sleep with Mark if he asked. More joking about setting him up with Howard's daughter and the girls on the phone. Yes your typical Howard Stern show.

No cable, so I can't tell you what he said, but Mark was at the VMAs, some pics of him arriving and with DMX (who he was to intro last year)

Articles on the Analysis of how well RS will fair in light of its Rated R rating. Just my opinion , watch it over and over again, as you won't hear Mark on the soundtrack and the out takes at the end alone are worth the $7, not to mention Mark's performance! It's not really Heavy Heavy Metal, more Hard Rock if you ask me and if you were remember the early 80s, the soundtrack should bring back some memories.

Dark Horizons had a link to an interesting article from Metal Rules about the title of RS.

09-06
OK my preliminary report (no major spoilers for the movie) of my day! Thanks to E-Factor and Mark for a fabulous night!

Some more pics of the LA Rock Star premiere thanks to Fantastica Daily for letting me know!

A couple reviews from the trades and interviews. Mark was on the Today show and Regis & Kelly. Transcripts soon. Mark's on the VMAs tonight and TRL Friday. And after is a long vacation.

09-05
Missed the webcast of the LA premiere of Rock Star? Clips will be available starting Sept. 5th on the WB website

Mark is in San Francisco tonight! There's a special screening of Rock Star at the Sony Metreon at 7pm. And guess who has tickets? Me! Thanks to E-Factor! Anyway, I'm just about to head over to THE CITY, so watch for a review and updates of my big day tomorrow!

Karen besides letting me know about the RS soundtrack, sent in the AOL transcript for all those who aren't AOlers! Thanks Karen!

First major review of Rock Star & Int'l figures for POTA.

Pictures of the LA premiere: Mark waving AP, Jennifer, Mark & Timothy Olyphant Reuters, Jennifer & Mark Reuters, Jennifer & Mark 2 Reuters, director Stephen Herek, stars of the film "Rock Star" Jennifer Anniston, and Mark Wahlberg, executive producer Steve Reuther and Timothy Olyphant Ap, Jennifer & Mark AP, and Fred Durst, Mark & Timothy Olyphant  AP 

Note I have the Entertainers listed on the 15th-23rd, however this show is a syndicated show, I'm guessing on the time frame. It could be the week before. Please check your Tv Guide. If you're not familiar with the show, it's a interview show hosted by Byron Allen and unfortunately is usually regulated to very late night or really early (as is my case 6am)

09-04
It's a Mark filled day, first is a live chat on AOL (totally unfair for the 70% of us who don't use AOL), then he films Leno (it appears later tonight on NBC) and then it's off to his LA Premiere of Rock Star in Westwood!

Karen has notified me, the Rock Star Soundtrack does not feature Mark's vocals, instead the songs are sung by other people. Looks like the only way to hear Mark sing is in the movie itself. :(

The first round of the auction of RS props finished, and raised $4026.50. If you're curious, the items relating to Mark sold for $3008.50, here's the breakdown: 
$1,426.00 Warner Bros. Rock Star Chris Concert 1 Outfit 
Reserve not reached Guitar
$1,025.00 Warner Bros. Rock Star Signed Film Poster 
$455.00 Warner Bros. Rock Star Chris' Duffle Bag 
$102.50 Warner Bros. Rock Star Blood Pollution Shirt 

Did a few housekeeping things, updated the FAQs a bit and added more stuff to Campaign 2001. Get informed and be involved!

And by the end of the week (I hope), expect something really cool and exclusive on this site! And no I'm not going to give you a hint, but it is Mark related. ;-)

09-03
Have a good Labor Day!

Catching up on the post POTA articles, I have reports of Mark's recent visit to Boston after his whirlwind visit to Europe and an interview with the NY Daily News.

Just checked Regis & Kelly's website and they have Mark listed for Thurs. There's also rumors of TRL and Howard Stern appearances. If you guys find confirmation, let me know!

Added 2 articles, one rumors about Mark's indie projects and POTA, the other is Jennifer talking about a piercing scene in RS.

Thanks to Nicki who sent in another UK interview from New Woman.
