Chris Masterson was at the premiere of Yes Man in Westwood, California earlier this month. Its a new film starring Jim Carrey that co-stars Chris’s brother Danny.
Chris did a short interview talking about his movies The Art of Travel and Made for Each Other and that he will be attending the Sundance Festival. He mentions a new club Downstairs in Park City, Utah and from the website it states its run by his brother Danny but I guess Chris is involved too sometimes.

Frankie Muniz (Malcolm) turns 23 today (December 5, 2008) and we at the VC hope he has a great day.
To embarrass him, I thought I’d dig up this old video from January 2001 when Frankie was 15 and performed on MTV’s Snowed In: Celebrity Say What? Karaoke! He sings I Want You Back by The Jackson 5.
