More new pictures! I put up some from Kim Gordon's Perfect Partner, The Hawk Is Dying and some more from the Delirious set.

I also added a 'Wallpapers' album to the Gallery... reenyp73 sent in 3 nice ones to start it out. If anyone has any they'd like to contribute, feel free to email them to me.

I'd also like to welcome another new affiliate, Simply Brad a Brad Pitt fan site. (No, there is absolutely no relation.)

November 29, 2005

I added a few photos to the Gallery the other day. Nothing really new, just some better quality versions of ones that were already up. They're all from various movie premieres.

I'd also like to welcome our newest affiliate, LouisGarrel.net! It's a brand new site that had it's grand opening just yesterday. If you're a fan of this fine actor, go check it out.

November 9, 2005

I finally got some more photos up from the Last Days DVD release party at Pianos back on the 1st. (Thanks to Owen)

November 4, 2005

A huge 'thank you' goes out to Mariana for encoding Pagoda's video for "Happy Song." It's available for your viewing pleasure in the Video section.

I also added some more pictures to the Gallery... Several from the KVIFF earlier this year (found on Nan's site), a few from the 10/22 Pagoda show @ The Hook (taken by The Music Slut), and a couple from a party celebrating the premiere of Jonathan Caouette's film Tarnation back in 2004.

November 2, 2005

I made a fairly large update in the Gallery today...

A couple of older photoshoots with Eva Green and Louis Garrel. (Thanks Mariana!)

And finally a couple of candid shots. (Thanks Lea!)

Many thanks to Kevin for making screen captures from Pagoda's first video, "Happy Song". The video features Christian Zucconi (Aloke) on bass. It's fantastic, and is included in the 'special features' on the Last Days DVD.

I'd also like to thank Manda Rose for allowing me to put up some photos she took at last Saturday's Pagoda show @ The Hook in Brooklyn, NY.

I've also put up "Happy Song" from Pagoda's upcoming album "House of Worship" in the audio section. (Thanks to Kevin for that as well.)

October 24, 2005

It's been a while eh? I'm having some computer issues right now but never fear, I will do my best to keep updating on a fairly regular basis.

Several pictures have been added to the Gallery, including some from the recent Pagoda shows in NYC. (Thanks to Lestat_Lover) There are also a few from some Last Days press that Lea was kind enough to send.

Lastly, I want to thank Mariana for making me an English version of Mike's part in The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. Download it in the Video section.

Until next time...

October 3, 2005

I added an article from Ireland.com and updated the Gallery with a few new pictures; Four from the Adam Kimmel fashion show, a candid shot at Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon's house from sonicyouth.com, a couple from a solo show back in 2004 when Thurston and Mike were getting ready for Last Days, and the first photo from the upcoming film, The Hawk Is Dying.

September 13, 2005

I've touched up the Music section.
Added a short interview clip from Excite.
Created a Music album in the Gallery, in which I've put two more albums... one for Pagoda and one for Mike's solo performances.
I've also added several new photos to the Gallery...

Screen caps of the afforementioned interview clip:

A small photo of Pagoda performing on August 25th in Vermont, and more from the NYC premiere of Last Days:

And finally, an old photoshoot done around the time of Murder By Numbers:

Sometime in the next few weeks or so, I'm going to start working on a new bio. I'm sick to death of the one that I have up. If I never hear Mike compared to Leonardo DiCaprio again, it'll be too soon.

September 9, 2005

I fixed the links on some of the Last Days movie clips and added one more. I also added a streaming interview from Channel 4. Screen caps from it are in the Gallery. Here are a few teasers...

September 8, 2005

I've put up 5 clips from Last days, which you can download in the Video section. I may add more, but that's all for now.

September 5, 2005

I added a few pictures to the Gallery... a couple better one's from the recent issue of Nylon Guys and one of Mike and Thurston Moore in New York.

Thanks to Rina for scanning a recent interview from New Weekly, read it in the Articles/Interviews section. There are also two other interviews up, one from the New York Metro and one from Time Out.

Welcome Beautifully Scarred's newest affiliate, Michael Pitt Web... an Italian Michael Pitt fansite.

August 30, 2005

I've put up scans from the Fall 2005 issue of Nylon Guys magazine. (My scanner is on the fritz, so please excuse the quality.)

Read the article from it here.

August 28, 2005

There are a few new pictures up from photographer Cary Evans (thanks to Lea!). A couple include fake Rolling Stone covers. Haha!

August 27, 2005

Thanks to "my cheating heart" for sending me some great hi-res pictures. Most are older pictures from past movie premiere's but there are some newer ones in there as well. They are all in the Gallery of course.

I also added an article from The Independent to the Articles/Interviews section.

Lastly, I'd like to welcome my 3 newest affiliates... The United States of Gosling, Nick Stahl Network and The Kelli Garner fanlisting.

August 18, 2005

I added a couple of photoshoot outtakes to the Gallery. They are from an old issue of Nylon. (Thanks Lea!)

I also put up some scans from the August 2005 issue of Spin in the Articles/Interviews section. It's just a small (not very flattering) piece about Last Days.

August 13, 2005

I finally completed my 100 Michael Pitt icon challenge on actors100! This was the banner I received:

All of the icons have been uploaded to the Gallery, if you'd like to use any on your LJ or wherever. (Please be sure to credit me in the keywords: burroughsghost)

I also addded a lengthy interview and an article, to the Articles/Interviews section... one is from The Guardian, the other from Groucho Reviews.

Finally, I added a link to Pagoda's Myspace in the Audio and Links sections. It has 4 tracks up for download with lyrics as well. A lot of people have been wondering if it's official... the answer is "semi-official". I've been told it's run by a friend of Mike's.

August 12, 2005

Mike did an interview recently with IN Los Angeles where he "discusses kissing male co-stars, questioning his sexuality, and playing the Kurt Cobain-inspired character in Gus Van Sant's Last Days." Read it in the Articles/Interviews section. (Thanks to Lea for the link!)

August 4, 2005

Thanks to one of our forum members, "PompousCunt" for scanning/transcribing an article on Last Days from Uncut magazine. Read it in the Articles/Interviews section.

July 30, 2005

All of the Audio should be working now. I also added the Pagoda demo tracks.

I also put up some screen captures of Mike playing at the Apollo Grill on 7/28/05.

July 28, 2005

The Last Days Giveaway has ended. I will be contacting the 4 winners sometime today. Thanks to everyone who entered!

I added several pictures to the Gallery. Some great hi-res shots - new and old (thanks to "my cheating heart") and some from the Last Days' New York premiere after-party. The rest of the party pictures can be found on the Nylon magazine site.

I also added a couple of articles I thought were rather good. One from Gay City News and one from The Boston Herald.

That's all for now!

July 21, 2005

20 new photos added... Thanks to "my cheating heart" for sending in some more photos from the New York premiere of Last Days.

*Don't forget, you have one week left to enter to win the Last Days Giveaway! Winners will be announced on July 28th.

I added links to 5 clips from Last Days to the Video section and a ton of pictures from yesterday's NYC premiere of the film. (Thanks to Mariana for sending the un-watermarked ones!)

I've also finished 50 of the 100 livejournal icons for the actors100 challenge. I'll upload them all when I'm finished.

July 18, 2005

Thanks to Lea for scanning this month's issue of Dazed and Confused. Read the article here. All the pictures from it are up in the Gallery as well.

Two new articles have been added to the Articles section. One from the New York Times, and one from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Welcome to our newest affiliate, Justin Chatwin.

July 14, 2005

Another picture update! I added the cover of the Village Voice and a picture from the article. The article isn't completely scanned but it's the same one that's on their site, and archived here, so you're not missing anything. (Thanks to "lestat_lover" for the scans!) I've also updated a few pictures that were previously watermarked, with UNwatermarked versions. (Thanks to "my cheating heart" for sending them!)

Lastly, I put up the first batch (1/10) of my 100 Michael Pitt icons for actors100. I'll probably put up the next batch (11/20) later tonight.

Just a reminder... to view all of the latest additions to the Gallery, click on Last uploads at the top of the page.

July 13, 2005

I've added a ton of pictures, new and old... here's a sneak peek:

I've also archived the recent article about Last Days from the Village Voice in the Articles section.

Keep your eye on the livejournal community, actors100, as I've taken on the 100 icon challenge. I'll be posting 100 new Michael Pitt icons throughout the next 10 weeks. So if your into that... enjoy. ;)

July 8, 2005

Video clip and picture updates... I've added a link to the KVIFF press conference to the Video section and some screen captures from it to the Gallery. I've also added some low-quality screen captures from the episode of Law & Order (Carrier) Mike appeared on.

Gallery update... I've added 13 outtakes from various photoshoots. Some old, some new. (Thanks to "my cheating heart" for sending them.)

June 16, 2005

I added a clip link in the Video section, from Cinema.nl that has some more movie footage from Last Days and interviews with Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore and Lukas Haas (Mike jumps in at the end). I made some caps from it for the Gallery as well. (Thanks to Lea for sending the link.)

Also added were some more screen captures from Last Days and a picture of Mike with Jamie Bochert and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) after an LCD show last Friday in NYC. (Link from The Modern Age.)

***I wanted to add... all of the mp3's in the Audio section should be working now. I have also added the song, "Muskrat" from The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things. (Thank you to Mariana for that!)

June 15, 2005

A few updates to report... I have archived the news and updates for 2003-2004. Links can be found on the main page and in the News section.

In the Video section, I have added Mike's scene from The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. (Much thanks to Mariana who made it exclusively for Beautifully Scarred.) It's in Italian without English subtitles but I hope to have a translated text to go along with it. Anyone who would be willing to help me out, please email me.

I also added some much better screen captures from 54 to the Gallery. (Again, much thanks to Mariana for those!)

June 13, 2005

According to the US website for Last Days, Mike was in a film called Mambo Cafe back in 2000. He had a very small role and was credited as "Teenage Male". I found the trailer online and have it linked in the Video section. I also made some screen captures for the Gallery.

June 6, 2005

I've had a number of emails about this, so just to let everyone know... I do not have the official lyrics to any of Pagoda's songs. The only thing I do have is my own interpretation of Death To Birth and I've posted that in the site Forum.

I updated the Gallery with 18 photos of Pagoda at the Polisuona festival last month. Unfortunately they are all watermarked.

I've also put up some more screen captures from the US trailer for Last Days.

And thanks to puccalove_70 for scanning a picture of Mike at Cannes from Studio, a French magazine.

June 5, 2005

Just an FYI: Some of the mp3's are still down but I've started a thread in the site Forum for temporary download links. If your not a registered member yet, please join.

June 2, 2005

I've added 3 photos of Pagoda from last night's show at PIANOS in NYC. (Photos courtesy of The Modern Age.)

June 1, 2005

I've added a few more Cannes photos, some screen caps from the Italian Last Days trailer and a few icons to the Gallery.

May 29, 2005

The 2 music video's (Hey Joe & What a Wonderful World) should be working now. Just click on the links and it will open a page where the video's automatically begin.

"Three Headed Donkey" has some downloads from the Bully dvd up, so I've added a link to that in the Video section as well.

Some people are curious about the woman who accompanied Mike during the Cannes Film Festival... she is model, Jamie Bochert. You can find more info about her in the site forum.

May 25, 2005

Thanks to Mariana for sending some shots of Pagoda performing at the Polisuona festival on May 20th. They are all up in the Gallery.

May 24, 2005

I've added a few more pictures to the Gallery. The first is a picture of Pagoda performing in Paris on May 18th. (Thank you to Florence for sending it!)

And a few more pictures from Cannes.

May 18, 2005

I just put up the music video for Hey Joe from The Dreamers dvd in the Video section. (A big 'thank you!' to Mariana who encoded exclusively for Beautifully Scarred.)

I will probably be updating with some more pictures from Last Days, later on today...

More updates: There is another "French-to-English translated" article from liberation.fr in the Articles/Interviews section. I also added a TON of new pictures to the Gallery.

A portrait session in Cannes:

More from the Last Days screening/photo call:

92 screen captures of Mike's entire performance in The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things:


(Courtesy of Mariana, who always sends me the best stuff!)

And finally one more photo of Mike with Louis Garrel, taken at the Last Days after-party:

May 17, 2005

The site update I know you've all been waiting for... HUGE thanks to Lea for sending me the Last Days soundtrack in MP3 files! I've put three songs up in the Audio section. An alternate version of "Death to Birth" by Pagoda, "Fetus" also performed by Pagoda and "That Day" performed by Mike by himself.

They're fantastic! I can't stop listening to "Fetus". His voice sounds particularly great on that track, in my opinion anyway... not to mention the great lyrics.

Please do not post the MP3's anywhere else, use a link back here to the site. Thanks in advance.

I also added another picture to the Gallery of Pagoda performing at the Last Days after-party at the Cannes Film Festival.

Enjoy!

May 16, 2005

Quite a few updates today... In the Articles/Interviews secion, I added a review of Last Days from Hollywood Elsewhere, an article from French site www.lemonde.fr, and an article from Variety about Pagoda's performance at the after-party for Last Days.

In the Video section I've added 1 link to a short clip on Last Days that shows Mike at a photo shoot at Cannes and 3 interview clips from Dutch site Arte. The latter is aprox. 17 minutes long which I think may be the longest interview I've ever seen with him.

New to the Gallery are scans from Les Inrockuptibles (In which Mike's guitar clearly says "Pagoda". My apologies for the mistake a few days ago.)

A beautiful photo shoot by Richard Schroder:

(Those both courtesy of Mariana)

More Cannes photos:

And finally, various screen captures of the newly posted videos:

Those first couple of caps are from the first of a 3 part interview.

FYI: An easy way to view all of the newest photos is by clicking on "Last Uploads" at the top of the main page in the photo Gallery.

May 14, 2005

I added 6 screen captures from a video report that is on French site France2.fr.

May 13, 2005

TONS of new pictures added today! Some more production stills from Last Days (and some older ones replaced with hi-res versions), some screen captures from the interview/photo call, press conference and the "steps". Also some from the photo call itself. Here are just a few:

I've also put up links to the videos for the press conference, interview/photo call and the "steps" in the Video section. (Huge thanks to Mariana for the photo call pictures!)

There are 8 more pictures from the screening of Last Days up in the gallery! (Thanks again to Mariana my little photo angel!)

May 11, 2005

Another new photo to add to the gallery... sent in by Lea. This was photographed by Eva Vermandel.

May 9, 2005

A few more updates... I've been procrastinating on getting some older articles up but I've finally managed to get my ass in gear. I put up articles from Backstage Magazine, Nylon Magazine, one from an online site called Bohemian Rhapsody which is an interview from the 2003 Sundance Film Festival and more recent, an article & interview with Gus Van Sant about Last Days.

I've also put up scans from the May Issue of French Premiere Magazine in the News section. The article is in French (obviously) so I haven't a clue what it says, but I know some of you will be able to read and enjoy it. And please don't hesitate to let me in on it too! The jist of it would be sufficient. ;)

And lastly, look for some more screen captures and better quality images of old favorites from The Dreamers in the photo Gallery.

That's all for now.

*This morning after I finished adding all of The Dreamers caps, I stumbled upon a bunch of pictures that I already had up but with watermarks. The new versions are watermark free! Mostly the ones in the "Photoshoot" album, but there are a few here and there in various "Movie Premiere" albums too. You'll just have to browse around. I know, I know... it'll be rough, looking through all of those beautiful pictures again. ;)

And if that alone wasn't a great way to start the day, I also found 4 brand new pictures! The last three were taken one month ago... 2 days before Mike's birthday to be exact.

FYI: The guitar actually says "Pagoda"... I was wrong about the sig. Sorry!

I just put up a 3 second clip of Mike welcoming visitors to movementmagazine.com. Haha... short but sweet. We really need to get the Last Days soundtrack online so the Audio section isn't so bare!

May 8, 2005

I've added 3 new pictures and the new Italian poster for Last Days to the Gallery.

May 2, 2005

I changed the layout a little. Nothing major, but hopefully some of the people that were having trouble viewing the site will now be able to without any problems. The updated sections may also be a little easier to follow.

And many thanks to "Venus" for sending me an alternate movie poster for Last Days. It's up in the photo Gallery.

April 26, 2005

I've added 6 new photos to the Gallery. They are from the May 2005 issue of GQ magazine. I've also re-scanned some older photos... the photoshoot of Mike and Alexis and one from The Face magazine. All of them can be found in the Magazines>Miscellaneous album. And I've finished uploading the rest of the Dawson's Creek screen captures and added some of the livejournal "Friends Only" banners that I made (use with credit please.)

The Gallery is now complete... well until the next new wave of photos comes around. ;)

April 25, 2005

I am so pleased to announce the grand opening of beautifullyscarred.net!!!

First and foremost I want to thank 2 of the loveliest people on earth, Anita and Autumn for making it all happen. Words can not express my thanks to you! I promise to keep this place up and going strong for a long time to come. All my love to you both. <3<3<3

So what does this all mean for you? Well, let me tell you! To ensure that those wonderful pictures of Mike will be up online for all to enjoy, free of pop-up ads and all that awful stuff, I now have my very own photo Gallery! (Link to your left.) I've still got some more to upload but rest assured, it will be filled with every photo and scan I've ever gotten my hands on... and then some! You can now find all of my livejournal icons/forum avatars in there as well.

To start off on a happy note, I'd like to welcome my newest affiliate, a fansite for actress Agnes Bruckner. She starred along side Mike and Ryan Gosling in Murder By Numbers. Welcome!

Before I go, I just want to say how much I truly love running Beautifully Scarred and I hope you guys enjoy what I've done with it. Questions, comments and feedback are always welcome via the guestbook... or if you just feel like dropping me an email to say, "Hey, I really dig Mike too!" it's fine by me. I love hearing from everyone. Until next time... :)

April 23, 2005

You can now download an mp3 of Death To Birth in the Audio section.

In the photo album, I've put up scans from French magazine Les Inrockuptibles (thanks to Marie-Dominique) and an old photoshoot done by Bob Frame (thanks to Mariana).

April 19, 2005

I just added a few new icons. Enjoy!

April 18, 2005

Here are some more production stills.

I also took about 13 screen caps from the trailer that are in the temp gallery.

April 14, 2005

A lot of exciting things going on today. There is now an official site and trailer up for Last Days... more info on that in the News section. I've added the poster, some more production stills and put the trailer up for download. Hopefully I'll have some screen captures from the trailer up later today. I've also revised the Music section a bit with more current information.

April 13, 2005

Thanks to Marie-Dominique for sending me another picture of a Cobainesqe Mike from the April 2005 issue of French Premiere Magazine. (click the image for the full size photo in the temp photo album)

April 7, 2005

Another new affiliate! Welcome evagreeweb.com A fansite dedicated to French actress Eva Green. It's run by Mariana of Ode To Azia and sarapolley.org, all lovely actresses that have starred along side Mike.

April 5, 2005

A great big 'thank you' to Jessie for sending me another one of Mike's Armani ads and a series of 9 breathtaking black and white photos taken by Liz Collins.

I've also put up some more various photos, sort of randomly as I came across them. They are all up in the temporary Angelfire photo album. (Link to your left.)

I'd like to just take a moment to give a special thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send me news/scans/links/photos. It's fans like you that help keep this place going strong and I truly, truly appreciate it.

April 4, 2005

For all of Mike's German fans... I'd like to welcome Beautifully Scarred's newest affiliate, Three Headed Donkey!

I have given Nan and Inga permission to directly translate some of the info from here to German for her site. So if you go there and see that something looks strangely familiar, that's why. ;)

March 26, 2005

Finally! 10 new pictures from Last Days have been added.

March 6, 2005

Picture update! Eight pictures to be exact. Thanks to Katie for directing me to some great magazine photo shoot outtakes. The ones up are lo-res. I will be putting the hi-res ones up at a later date. If you see any you like for a journal layout/graphic or what have you, feel free to email me and I'll send you the hi-res version.

Feb 22, 2005

I added more pictures today. Two are stills from Larry Clark: Great American Rebel. Found at Harmony Korine's site. I'd also like to thank Ester for allowing me to put up all of the great magazine clippings she has scanned. Of the 4 up 3 are from a 2004 Vanity Fair, 1 is from an unkown tv magazine.

Feb 21, 2005

More pictures have been added but only 3 new. Many, many thanks to Jamie for all of them. The newest additions are from February 7, 2005... at Olympus Fashion Week. Mike is sitting next to Kim Gordon (of Sonic Youth) at the Marc Jacobs fall collection.

January 23, 2005

I've added about 20 new pictures to the temporary photo album. Some are older pictures from various press for The Dreamers, some are from the premiere of The Village, some are just random posed shots and one new Emporio Armani ad.

I'm looking into getting my photos a bit more organized. Hopefully that will happen soon. Sorry for the inconvenience of Angelfire's pop-up ads.

January 15, 2005

A big 'thank you' to Marie-Dominique for sending me screen caps of Mike in some bonus features from The Village dvd! They are amusing... I've put them in the temp photo album for now.

January 10, 2005

Be sure to check the news section for a couple of updates.

January 4, 2005

Happy New Year everyone!!
