Shaun White upped his celebrity status last night at the MTV Movie Awards. Best snowboard kiss? As TVSquad.com said: “I think Shaun White was trying out for the lead in ‘The Robert Plant Story.'”

There is nothing like hitting the streets for a little NYC skate action in wedge heels. Nobody does it better than Kate Hudson, according to story in the Daily Mail.
Running in heels is one thing, but Kate Hudson took it to a whole new level as she attempted to go skateboarding in a pair of wedge heels. . . And the actress’ outfit – a short shirt dress – was not exactly appropriate for action either. . . But thankfully the ridiculous scene was all for show on the Manhattan set of Something Borrowed, her new movie. . . The 31-year-old has been pictured in a series of smart outfits while on location in New York. . . . Kate is starring in the film as Darcy, a beautiful bratty bride who gets everything she wants.
Apparently, she doesn’t want to know how to hold a skateboard properly. . .

Shaun White has reportedly left his long-time agent Mark Ervin and IMG and made the move to Hollywood’s uber-huge Creative Artists Agency, according to a Tripp Mickel story in the Sports Business Journal.
After eight years of working together, White last week dropped Ervin and IMG for CAA. He now is represented by a team of CAA agents who will work to develop marketing partnerships, appearances and television, music and motion picture opportunities for the 23-year-old.
Creative Artist Agency represents pretty much every A-lister in the business including (but not limited to) Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher, David Beckham, LeBron James, and of course, Tony Hawk.
This ought to keep those millions rolling.

Already having tortured the world with her snowboarding (and her dancing) Pamela Anderson now claims that she’ going to learn to surf, according to a post on OK! (the British tabloid, not the shop).
“I’m going to get in the ocean,” she told us. “I promised myself I’d learn how to surf this year. I surf a little bit and so I’ve got my pink surf board and I’m ready to get in the ocean. . . “I’m always learning new things. I think it’s really important as we get older to not think that you’re not too old to learn something new. It makes you live better.”
It’s difficult to believe there’s anything she hasn’t exposed herself to.

On Saturday night (April 17, 2010) Shaun White became the first snowboarder since Ross Rebagliati to be clowned on Saturday Night Live and as several snowboard pundits have mentioned: it wasn’t even that funny.

It appears that Shaun White had to get up a little too early for his interview with The Today Show’s Matt Lauer. Is all that late-night Vegas party action “spending time with his family” catching up with him a little. . . ?
[Editors’ Note: Turns out Shaun does say the word “Target” once in the interview. We missed it the first time. Thank you to our astute readers for pointing that out. The post has been corrected.]

As Skate & Annoy’s Kilwag pointed out today, Justin Bieber the “prepubescent pop star” can ollie higher than he can. We agree. But what he failed to point out is that Bieber also has impeccable taste in footwear. . .

Tomorrow night (April 15, 2010) Shaun White will unveil his new footwear line for Target Stores at a Midtown Manhattan shindig, according to a story in the New York Times.
The shoes, scheduled to arrive at Target on July 11, will accompany the 2010 version of the Shaun White clothing line that Target sells. The apparel is scheduled to arrive at Target in early August.
Tax day is likely the perfect time to unleash $34.99 shoes on the American public. Wonder how all the skate shoe companies feel about this?

Celebrity racers: Champ Keanu Reeves, Adrian Brody, Christian Slater, and Tony Hawk.
Every so often, while cruising I-5 we see a black, tinted-out 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (on rims) coming up behind us at speed and as we casually glance over to see who is blowing past we swear the driver looks an awful lot like Tony Hawk. We have similar thoughts each time a small jet swoops down past the skatepark for a landing at McClellan-Palomar Airport. Now, after reading this story in Motortrend we realize that at least on the freeway, it is Tony.
Hawk had to think for about what he’d rate his SRT8 on a scale of 1 to 10. “Boy, that’s a good question,” Hawk replies, and contemplates for just a nano-second. “I’d give it an 8 just because it’s not meant to be a sports car the way that I use it. But I have kids, so I have to make a compromise with the type of car that I drive,” he chuckles. He does enjoy the Jeep’s full power capability when he’s alone.
Motortrend checks in with Tony at Willow Springs Raceway raceway as he and other celebs practice for the Pro/Celebrity Race at the 36th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 16-18.
