Ozzy Has Advice For Lady Gaga: Take a Break

Sounds like Ozzy is as sick of Lady Gaga as everyone else is. He gives his advice to tell her that she should take a break so that she doesn't wear out her welcome. Just have a puff on a couple alec bradley cigars
and enjoy your success while out of the spotlight.

“I do think Lady Gaga should take a break for a little while. She’s getting to be too much,” Ozzy told Us Weekly in a telephone interview last week. “And she doesn’t watch the exposure of her clothes. She’s just too overexposed.”

The 62-year-old Brit believes that while the Princess of pop has the chops to be the next queen, her talent is often overshadowed by her attention-seeking get-ups (case in point — meat dress).

“She could be the next Madonna if she played her cards right. I like her, but I’m getting a bit sick of her,” Ozzy told the mag. “When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lampshade or whatever… I think she’s really, really entertaining, but she’s doing a bit too much. Every day it is something else.

“The specialness of her is gonna get killed if she doesn’t calm it down,” he added. “…Someone should whisper in her ear and say back off for a couple of months — let people gain interest back.”

American Film Institute Top 10 Films of 2010

Here is the American Film Institute's Top 10 Films of 2010:

Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
127 Hours
The Social Network
The Town
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter’s Bone

I have seen 4 of these movies so far. Inception, while a good action movie, it is nowhere near the "thinker" some people try to make it out to be. The entire concept is actually just ridiculous for the sake of trying to be a mind bender. For this year of movies, however it is one of the better ones.

The Social Network was interesting. Winter's Bone I didn't get into that much really. Toy Story 3 is like all the other animation movies. Always worth a few chuckles and better than most of the other movies out.

The rest I haven't seen, but one movie I will never see is "The Kids Are Alright". If you have On Demand on your cable box you probably know what I mean. EVERY show you watch almost has a commercial for this movie. If I hear "So...how did you guys meet? My tongue was numb and I told her to relax." ever again I may scream. Everything about that scene makes me hate the movie.

Uh oh...Nicole Richie Snubs Paris Hilton On Wedding Invite

Apparently these two are not friends anymore? I don't pay much attention to it all. I wasn't even aware if they really were friends int he first place and that Richie not inviting her to her wedding was a huge deal. See I forget a lot of things, and other than A Simple Life TV show I never really thought about this two together. Maybe they are long time friends. I don't know.

Anyways, as Nicole Richies is making plans for wedding dresses and reportedly set to wed longtime boyfriend Joel Madden this weekend, she snubbed her pal Paris with no wedding invite.

An insider revealed: 'Nicole's wedding will be super small, and a lot of people who have played a role in her life like Paris have been cut from the guest list. She's keeping the dress a secret and hasn't even told her bridesmaids who the designer is.'

Richie, 29, the daughter of singer Lionel Richie, is expected to marry the Good Charlotte rocker, 31, at her dad's estate in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday.

Christina Aguilera - who is going through a divorce - is said to be singing at the bash.

'She has been a good friend and wants to be there for Nicole,' a pal said.

SMithsonian Removes Video After Complaints From Catholic Group

The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery quickly removed a video Tuesday that was part of an exhibit after complaints from a Catholic group that the images were sacrilegious.

The offensive video featured ants crawling on a cross. The Catholic League President Bill Donohue said that the depiction was "hate speech" and designed to insult Christians.

After he was alerted to the piece Monday night by a New York Post reporter, Donohue began a campaign to urge Congress to cut public funding for the Smithsonian museum complex, he told The Associated Press.

"This is not the first time the Smithsonian has offended us," he said. "I'm going to cast my net much wider. Why should the government pay for this? ... How dare they take our money to fund attacks on (our religion)."

While he is correct that the Smithsonian is partially funded by the government to pay the staff and its facilities, the exhibits themselves are actually privately funded. It could be anyone. Maybe the guy that invented Asus, or Bill Gates, or you.

2010 National Geographic Photo Contest

I'm not a phoography guy by any means, but this is always one of my favorite things to look at. The National Geogrphic annual phot contest. You can see the official page here, but there are a couple other sites that handpicked some of the best ones.

This site picked their 47 favorite and I must agree they are incredible. I actually saved a bunch of them and am trying to decide which to use as my new desktop background. I am using the two giraffes so far, but I'm not sure if I will stick with it. Glad I don't need to post them all, or I'd need a new web hosting service.

Boston.com put a bit of a slideshow together with some storyboards with it so you cna see a bit more about what the photos are from.

Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys to Quit Twitter for Charity

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When you see a headline and that is the first thing that pops into your head you know you have to read it. Let's try and figure out how this would make any sense whatsoever before we actually get their explanation first shall we?

So...in an effort to raise some money for something they have decided to stop using the way they communicate to people dumb enough to give them money instead of an actual REAL charity. You know like one that isn't a huge tax shelter for celebrities that wastes most of the money on administration costs rather than just team up with a well established charity? Yeah...this is a pet peeve of mine. Donations used to pay paper pushers makes ALL kinds of sense doesn't it? Clearly more appropriate than just say giving to one of the big charities that are already established.

Anyways, the stars are part of a new campaign called Digital Life Sacrifice that will benefit Alicia Keys' AIDS charity, Keep a Child Alive. The entertainers plan to sign off sites including Facebook and Twitter starting Wednesday, which is World AIDS Day, and will not sign back on until the charity raises $1 million.

How am I ever going to know what eczema treatment to use?

Other celebrities taking part are Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Janelle Monae and Keys' husband, Swizz Beatz.
For the campaign, the stars have filmed "last tweet and testament" videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins to represent what the campaign calls their digital deaths.
"It's really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on," Keys told the Associated Press.

Harry Potter With Another Huge Weekend

Thanksgiving is another popular movie holiday. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (mouth full) opened last weekend at #1 and held onto it for the second straight week with a $50.3 million Thanksgiving weekend box office. This brings its two-week total to $220.4 million, according to studio estimates.

I still haven't seen it, and likely won't until DVD because I don't have any friends dorky enough to go to this movie in a theater...haha

www.teatreeoil.org

From what I've read it sticks to the book better than any of the others, but if you have read the book you know what the complaints are. It's slow moving and not much happens. This is because the first half of DH is SLOW. It's still a great start, but it isn't exactly action packed. Quite a bit of growing up for Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the first half and dealing with being off on their own for the first time. A lot of whining and fighting with eachother. Still it is interesting to see them start to come together and get a little lucky in their quest to destroy the horcrux's.

Most say it is the best directed of the movies so far so I'm sure Part 2 is going to be incredible. The ending of the series is absolutely perfect so the movie should have some very emotional and action packed scenes.

Palin Kids a Class Act

This week we were all blessed (sarcasm alert) by the new Palin Reality series introduced on TLC called Sarah Palin's: Alaska. Most people you talk to that are somewhat normal will probably tell you the show is a joke, and many other things I'm sure. Suffice to say the Palin family is riding high and they are still media darlings.

Anyways, earlier this week some fellow was voicing his displeasure about the show on his Facebook page, only to be addressed by Williow and Bristol Palin directly. Not really taking it as constructive criticism they proceeded to call him a "f*gg*t".

"Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I've seen pictures of, your disgusting ... My sister had a kid and is still hot."

Willow followed up that comment with another that read, "Tre stfu. Your such a f**got."

That's some real htc desire right there.

After called out on it they decied to issue a public apology, but not really publicly. They issued an apology on FACEBOOK to the guy on their own page.

Normally I'd think something like this wasn't that big a deal. Just rather ignorant and something guys say to each other all the time who aren't actually "homophobes", but these guys are the daughters of a pseudo-politician. I'm sure it will all be forgotten and everyone will still vote for mom because she is "hot" and people are whateve...

Ryan Reynolds is Sexiest Man Alive

and he is?

Apparently he is married to Scarlet Johansson. I don't follow dudes sorry. Scartlet was named the GQ "Babe of the Year" as well this year which makes them the hottest couple around I guess.

Their week has been all aces. Johansson has been named GQ's Babe of the Year and hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the third time. And Reynolds, whose "Green Lantern" trailer premiered on Tuesday, has just nabbed the coveted title of People's Sexiest Man Alive.

"My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke," the star told People. "When I stop training, I turn into a skin-colored whisper. ... You just have to go with the flow." Oh you poor guy. Let's get you some work doing apidexin reviews so you can keep the look.

Bill Clinton Making Cameos in Movies Now: Hangover 2

Bill Clinton has always been considered one of the "cooler" presidents. Many claim he was the first "black" president. He has had his share of negative media, but many still love him and thought he was a great president. After watching G.W. for 8 years Clinton looks like Abe Lincoln by comparison.

President Clinton shows up every once in a while for interviews and seems to be doing quite a lot to make the world a bit of a better place. At least appears to be involved in some good programs, although we have no idea. Well besides being a poster child for safe fat burners after his jog to McDonalds for a burger.

Anyways, it looks like Slick Willy will be making a cameo in the upcoming Hangover 2 movie. Bill Clinton was on location to shoot his cameo for The Hangover 2 in Bangkok, Thailand, but there’s no word on the details of the suave former president’s actual scene.

Harry Potter Still Huge

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is my favorite book of the series by far. It's one of the best journeys of the series to me. Their isolation from the magical community in the goal to save the world. Harry as just a 17 year old boy is tasked with killing the most menacing wizard in history.

The final book will be broken down into TWO movies it was so long. Even then the movie won't even come close to capturing all the magical moments of the book. Just like the rest haven't. At least Dobby will be in this in the correct form compared to him being replaced by Neville in the movies for a lot of his major moments.

Harry's unlikely friendships in the books is one of the most endearing aspects of his character to me. Friends with house elves, a werewolf, a half-giant, ghosts, centaurs, etc. makes him one of the most lovable characters ever. He could sell a car insurance rate to anyone.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was officially launched in London this week and will hit theaters tomorrow (Monday) at 6pm ET in New York City at Lincoln Square.

The Walking Dead Pilot Was Outstanding!

If you don't watch much cable television you may not have heard about a new show that features ZOMBIES. You probably did. IT has been advertised everywhere, and with a Halloween night premiere you had to have been ready for The Walking Dead pilot.

Created from a series of graphic novels, it is an hour long weekly show on AMC that probably has a few skeptics. How can they possibly have a show about a Zompie Apocalypse every week? If you are familiar with the novels you know exactly how they will, and you were pumped. All you needed was to see that the production values were going to be high, and the actors weren't horrible. Both passed.

Combine this show with Dexter on Sunday nights and you won't find more violence. This show is raw. There isn't anything hidden in the blood lust department. The opening scenes alone should have told you that this wasn't for the squeemish. Seeing a girl likely no older than 10 years old shot in the head in the first 10 minutes is disturbing.

OF course some will say it pulled from stories like 28 Days Later where a guy popped out of a hospital bed looking for anyone in nursing scrubs to give him a clue, and then wandered out in the streets to see it deserted. This show has way more going on than that, and if you can stomach the blood and gore, we may be lookign at another hit for AMC. It was the best pilot since Lost.

Courts to Joe Jackson: "LOL...You don't get jack."

If you have followed Michael Jackson at all in the past 20 years or so you probably remember that TV special a long time back where they showed the world how much of a jerk Joe Jackson was. How it looked as if he abused the hell out of his kids, and was driven to make them all start and make some serious money. As time went on it appears the family got their revenge. No money for you.

Joe had been fighting to have a say in how MJ's estate is administered -- despite the fact that he was excluded from the will Michael signed in 2002.

But today, a panel of judges reinforced the decision the probate court made back in November -- that Joe lacked the proper standing.

Just how Michael would've wanted it. Joe can look on with his bushnell binoculars and see everyone else enjoying MJ's money.

Sacha Cohen Harassing Gay Rights Activists and Getting Sued

The title says it all. You probably believe it before I even talk about it after seeing some of his movies. Apparently in 2008 while working on the movie "Bruno", Cohen made a little bit of a field trip. He is now accused of participating in an alleged attack on a gay cameraman at a gay marriage demonstration in Los Angeles back in 2008.

A photog named Mike Skiff -- a gay cameraman who covers "events involving the gay community" -- claims he was at a Prop 8 rally (some rally for acne scar removal cream I believe) in 2008 when a crew from Cohen's movie "Bruno" arrived on the scene with an intention to "promote violent discord between the assembled 'yes' and 'no' factions."

According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, members of the "Bruno" crew "carried 'Yes on Proposition 8' signs contrived for the sole purpose of inciting and sparking unrest to enhance the dramatic effect of what they may capture for their film."

Michael Jackson Estate Earning Around $275 Mil Last 12 Months

Celebrities rarely have the each that someone like MJ had, or still does if the money show it. With his death the last year MJ stuff is still pretty hot to the tune of over $275 million worth of earnings for his estate in the last 12 months.

Over the past year Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Madonna and Jay-Z each each earned more than $50 million. But Michael Jackson earned more than all four--combined.

Fueled by a bonanza of interest following Jackson's death, his estate raked in $275 million over the past 12 months, by our estimates. That's more than enough to earn the King of Pop the top spot on our annual Dead Celebs list; in fact, it's more than the rest of the artists on the list put together, and more than any living artist or group. Nobody in the family will be doing how to lose belly fat infomercials anytime soon.

Randy and Evi Quaid Think They are Bonnie and Clyde?

Running from bills all over the U.S., the Quaids have taken their tour to Canada and are out on $10,000 bail for a burglary charge of living in a home illegally.

Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board just ruled on the Quaid's release, scheduled their next hearing -- for Thursday -- and slapped some strict travel rules on them ... such as reporting weekly to the Canada Border Services Agency if they leave the country.

Randy and Evi were arrested yesterday in Vancouver on outstanding warrants for a felony burglary arrest in Santa Barbara last month.

Sounds like they have more than a fat burner problem. More like a meth problem.

Kinect for the XBox 360

It seems everyone is ready to jump on the motion control of the Wii that made it the best selling console this gen. Well it was more the easy to play games than anything, but the Wii-mote helped a little. Playstation 3 is putting one out later this year as well.

The XBox 360 however is putting out kinect which is a little bit different. Lauded as the "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform, and may later be supported by PCs via Windows 8.

Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands,[6] or presented objects and images.

Justin Beiber May Be Next Punk'd Host

This guy I know absolutely nothing about. All I know is that he must be a teen heart throb of some sort. Don't know if he is an actor, or a singer. Most likely some Disney test tube baby that grew up on pop music and bubbles. I couldn't tell you.

I could probalby tell you much more about colon cleansers than this kid. Even if he is a kid. I am not sure.

Anyways, I guess this kid is going to be the new host of Punk'd. However, Kutcher wouldn’t completely turn over the reigns to the show. He would reportedly stay on as executive producer, after hosting the show and executive producing during its four-year run, which began in 2003.

New Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Trailer!

Yeah I love Harry Freakin' Potter. So damn what? You want to fight about it? Do you? *growls*

Oh sorry, you like Harry Potter too? Of course you do he's awesome. The movies I don't like a ton just because they can't keep in a lot of my favorite things, but I watch them anyways. Mainly the absence of Dobby in his role changed into Neville.

This is the latest HP: Deathly Hallows trailer that I have seen, and it is a bit dark. Not as dark as yournodular acne, but still pretty dark mind you.

Joaquin Phoenix Apologizes For Farce on Letterman

Phoenix appeared on Letterman tonight to promot...errr apologize for some farce he put on while making a movie a while back. More than a year after Joaquin Phoenix's awkward appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, the actor – clean-shaven and without sunglasses – returned to New York's Ed Sullivan Theater on Wednesday to apologize for his behavior.

"I mean, I think that you've interviewed many, many people and I assumed that you would know the difference between a character and a real person," he says about the now-infamous 2009 interview, in which a gum-chomping, mumbling Phoenix barely answered Letterman's questions. "I hope I didn't offend you in any way."

The appearance turned out to be an act. Director Casey Affleck recently revealed Phoenix's supposed documentary, I'm Still Here, which followed the actor during that strange time, isn't real. Apparently he's sane and looking good with some of the best fat burners for men

"Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no," Letterman told him. "I'm telling you, it was so much fun. It was batting practice, you know what I mean? Every one of them was a dinger."

Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez Join American Idol as Judges

The show that will never go away announces another set of "celebrity" judges for the upcoming season. Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, who I don't know what she does anymore. Maybe she is in line to find the best anti wrinkle cream, or something. No idea really.

Once a dizzyingly dominant small-screen force, Fox's American Idol has been shedding viewers in recent years — some 9% last season alone, many of them in the advertiser-coveted 18-to-49 demographic. Rightfully so. Just like all the other Reality TV stuff should, but doesn't and it is destroying society...*cough* sorry.

David Beckham Says $10,000 a Night Hooker Rumors Untrue

A magazine pusblished an article that claims Beckham cheated on his wife and hired a $10K a night hooker. The odds of anyone finding out about this must be astronomical as a $10K a night hooker is not going to be flaunting her services and clients all over the place now is she?

David and Victoria Beckham are slamming the latest cover of tabloid In Touch, which claims that he cheated on her with a $10,000-a-night hooker. What's next? He's taking the best weight loss supplements too much?

A rep for the two tells UsMagazine.com that the allegations -- which include a threesome and unprotected sex -- "are completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication.

"Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it," adds the rep. "We are taking legal action against the magazine."

2010 Fall TV Premiers Kick Off Today

If you are a TV fan at all you probably know that many of your favorite shows are ready to get rolling this week as well as some new hopefuls. For me I only watch a few shows so this extensive list means very little to me. I don't watch "new" shows usually. I typically catch shows that have been around for a few years and play catch up when I know it is about to go off the air so I don't have to wait every week, or every summer to see what happens. Of course this is for dramas, and I keep up with a few comedies most of the time.

The 3 shows I will watch regularly this year will be Dexter, Chuck, and the Final season of Smallville. Smallville I just watched all 9 seasons leading up to the finale this summer and am pretty excited to see it all end. Chuck I think is probably in its last year too because frankly, I don't think the show has much left in the tank and has been facing its end since season 1. Dexter is the only current show I have watched since Season 1 and it is brutal waiting for it to return every year considering it has such a short season anyways. Dexter should be unleased with some rage this year so it could be a great season once again. HE definitely won't be in a situation with anyone needing their prenatal vitamins this season.

Here's the list of the TV premieres the 2010 fall season on basic cable with Dexter thrown in for good measure:

Randy Quaid Arrested For Squatting

Randy Quaid and his wife were arrested after being found squatting at a California home they owned more than years ago. If you are like me you always try to figure out who this is. You see there is Randy, and Dennis. Randy is the National Lampoon guy, who is the crazy pilot in Independence Day. So...when you hear stories like this you probably don't think much of it since he typically plays this kind of role anyways. Oddly enough he was in Brokeback Mountain which I will never see.

Anyways, apparently with no need for weight loss pills that actually work since he can't even afford a place to stay, the Quaids were stopped by police in the upscale community of Montecito -- home to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey -- on Saturday, police said.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department said that Quaid and his wife Evi insisted they owned the house, but a representative for the home owner produced documents proving the house now belonged to his client.

"The Town" Looks Like the Box Office Gift Winner This Week

Been a while since I have paid a lot of attention to the box office numbers. There really hasn't been a whole lot at the theaters I have been interested in seeing. With this big "3-D" phenomenon I can honestly say that I have looked the other way at more than a few movies due to the 3-D aspect of it. Not saying I HATE 3-D, but I am just not all that impressed with how most of these films are rendered in it after seeing how good 3-D can truly look. Just waiting for the cash grab to blow over where films actually use this the way it is meant to be used rather than for a crappy reason to jack the ticket price up 50% for something that didn't even need it.

As we roll into the Christmas season the movies should start to get a little better. Whether it has been a great year, or not I always look to buy some movie related gifts for the family. Be it a popcorn bucket for free popcorn all year with a handful of tickets inside, or just a nice gift card to stuff into a stocking, or on one of their fresh Christmas wreaths where we have been putting cards and other small gifts the last couple of years.

Ben Affleck's bank-robbing thriller "The Town" looks like a nice start to the upcoming fall and Christmas season of movies. At least it is something I would probably be interested in seeing and I can finally use some of the damn gift cards to see a movie. The Town grabbed the box-office crown Friday night. The film, which takes audiences to the smash-and-grab underworld of director and star Affleck's hometown of Boston, and features Blake Lively, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner and Rebecca Hall, topped the end-of-the-work-week box office with an estimated $8.4 million.

Sacha Cohen, aka. "Borat" To Play Freddie Mercury In Movie

Cohen will play flamboyant rocker Freddie Mercury in a dramatic feature focusing on his glory days as the frontman of Queen, its producers said on Thursday.

Queen is a great band, and probably has some interesting stories in their history. I've never read a whole lot about them personally, so it would be rather enlightening to see a bit about their lives. I'm sure there is more than parties where they ended up passed out on cheap laminate flooring.

The film will focus on a period of a few years leading up to what was arguably Queen's greatest moment: its performance at the Live Aid charity concert in 1985, when the band mesmerized London's Wembley Stadium and a worldwide TV audience with such hits as "We Will Rock You" and "Radio Ga Ga."

The band continued touring and recording even as Mercury's health deteriorated. A day after finally admitting he had AIDS, Mercury succumbed to the disease in 1991, at age 45.

The untitled film is being written by Peter Morgan, the British scribe behind "The Queen" and "The Last King of Scotland." No director is attached yet.

John Lennon's Killer Denied Parole For 6th Time

Oddly this is something I have never thought about much. I didn't even realize Mark David Cahpman was alive to be denied parole.

Chapman, 55, is serving a sentence of 20 years to life in prison for the shooting death of Lennon outside Lennon's New York City apartment on December 8, 1980.

He has served 29 years of his sentence at the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility, where he is held in a building with other prisoners who are not considered to pose a threat to him, according to officials with the state Department of Correctional Services.

The last time Chapman was up for parole, in 2008, the New York State Division of Parole issued a release saying his request was denied "due to concern for the public safety and welfare." He probably is beyond the need of a personal injury Tucson attorney if he ever gets out. Celebrity killers are stalked by people just as crazy as they are probably.

Lindsay Lohan Running Over Babies Now, or BS?

Lohan just got out of jail and someone is claiming that she had a hit and run with a nany and a baby carriage in her Maserati. Some claim it is a false rumor, and the eyewitness is full of it. Instead of filing a police report she decided to give an interview to TMZ. Guess she needs a new pair of mbt shoes.

Brayan Jaime tells TMZ he was at Lindsay's West Hollywood apartment yesterday -- working his very first day on the job as a freelance paparazzo with another dude.

Jaime tells us he spotted Lindsay in her Maserati pulling out of her apartment building, then running a red light and making a left, right into the stroller.

Jaime says it was "full impact ... It was a major hit." Jaime tells us the bumper struck the nanny in the leg and hit the stroller "in the middle, knocking 3 of the 4 wheels in the air."

Machete is Out and People Like It. What a surprise

Grindhouse: Planet Terror seemed to come out of nowhere a few years back, and while far from a classic high brow film, it entertained most that watched it with over the top action and silliness. Machete with Danny Trejo and a bunch of sexy women with Robert Deniro, and probably some other cameos of superstars was expected to be just as badass and breaking down the door lock to get in early.

MovieWeb seems pretty excited about it:

Robert Rodriguez's latest, Machete, is about one of the silliest, action packed romps since, well, his last one, Planet Terror. And while its purposely cheesy, it feels like a breath of fresh air to me with some good, old fashioned grindhouse violence. And it was surprisingly not a bad movie, either. I was fully entertained by it's style, its music, and comical references to real life myths (Michelle Rodriguez's character is She, a rip on the revolutionary named Che).

The Human Centipede

Have you heard of this madness? It's a very, very stupid movie that came out recently (I think? Might be on sale I don't know. I got it online.) and features a mad scientist who has a crazy idea. His idea is to connect 3 humans together to form a human centipede. How would he do this you may ask? Do you really want to know?

I watched this the other day and found it to be an awful movie. Many will find it disturbing, and one of those train wreck types of moves that you just HAVE to see to say you did. I didn't find it disturbing really, but I did find the premise to be completely idiotic. I guess I've been a horror and gore fan way too long for something like this to make much of an impact on me.

So...this doctor goes out and abducts several people for his human centipede. HE is mad and has no conscience obviously. When he finds 3 people that have matching "tissues" he is ready to start his crazy surgery.

Oh yeah...the best part....The person in the front feeds the two connected to them. You see they are sewn together by the lips to the anus. They eat his excrement. Told you you didn't want to know.

Here's the trailer. All the actors are annoying:

Pamela Anderson PETA Poster Shot Down By Montreal

An odd story to be sure, but that poster was deemed "sexist" by Montreal officials. I suppose you could say that it depicts a woman as a "piece of meat", but it seems unoffensive in every way in the context that it is presented.

I must say she looks pretty good there. She must have visited www.quickweightloss.org, or they have a great air brush. She has looked sketchy the last couple years in undoctored photos I have seen. She is the Queen of plastic surgery though so that may have helped ;).

"We, as public officials representing a municipal government, cannot endorse this image of Ms. Anderson," Josee Rochefort, an official in charge of issuing permits in Montreal's TV and film office, said in an email to PETA.

"It is not so much controversial as it goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women," the email continued.

"In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens," Anderson told Us Weekly. "I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."

A PETA official said the Canadians were confusing "sexy" with "sexist."

Fifth Mel Gibson Tape Claims He is Broke

While it is possible he isn't hurting for money as he claims, but he is certainly a broken man in the eyes of anyone that listens to him in these rants. His career is likely in dire straits, although since he owns enough he could still pop out movies if he really wanted to.

This 5th tape is probably the most disturbing. Not because he uses racist rants, but because he is really quite mad. His anger is so intense that you expect him to have a heart attack in the middle of it. It is scary.

In her defense, Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eight-month-old daughter remains rather composed listening to the insane banter of Gibson. She says many times that he is violent, and that it is his fault while he blames her for all of his troubles.

These "troubles" he claims are financial and that it is her fault. Saying he spent way too much money on her, that she was a failure, and even that she was a terrible mother. She defended herself admirably in the ridiculous situation she was in. Gibson is OUT OF HIS MIND and could use some herbal phentermine at the very least.

This guy is scary.

Grigorieva Denies Releasing Mel Gibson's Racist Rant

We were all treated to an expletive riddled rant from Mel Gibson Friday directed at his former lover Oksana Grigorieva. He called her every name in the book and degraded her in as many ways as he could think of to shout at her over the phone. he even capped it off with some racist expletives that has upset quite a few out in the world.

Today, Grigorieva denied that she released the audio tape of Gibson's rants although speculation was that she was the only one that could have. Following the tape's release, Gibson's talent agency dropped the star, reportedly for being a liability.

Caught by paparazzi photographers running errands this weekend, Grigorieva tried to stay mum on the subject, saying that details "will come out in the right time."

Grigorieva told photographers from gossip website X17online.com that she had "no idea" who was releasing the tapes to Radar and that she thought it was "terrible" that the audio had gone viral.

When asked if she had meant for the tapes to go public she said, "Not at all."

Gibson has little work coming his way I'm guessing, so don't be surprised if he is in some sort of apidexin scam in the future.

Remember Studying For the SAT?

My sister just got done with high school and she had all the fun of taking all the college entrance exams and the infamous SAT. While it has been a while for me I remember one thing that wasn't done when I was taking it. WE didn't have a whole lot of sat prep courses available to us. I don't know if it was just poor counseling at our school, but I am pretty sure I went into that test completely blind.

These days it isn't so awful for SAT practice testing. You can go online and find tons of SAT prep courses to help get prepared for it (I was in early internet days where all there was to do was e-mail and chat :-/). I don't remember even taking the SAT to be honest. I only remember taking the ACT. I did a pACT which is a practice test once before it and then I took the ACT a few weeks later.

Must be nice having all this available now for studying. It certainly would ahve helped us when we were taking these tests.

Agency Drops Mel Gibbson Hours After Audio Rant Released

The expletive filled, Mel Gibson racist rant was released early Friday afternoon, and the backlash has already started. Just hours later his long-time agency dropped him from their client list for fear of embarrassment of being tied to him.

On top of this Gibson is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department over allegations of domestic violence towards his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.Not much of a stretch after hearing the tape I'm sure. Looks like Mel will be bargain hunting for cheap health insurance soon.

Just last week Gibson’s agent of more than 30 years, Ed Limato, passed away.

“It is rare for William Morris Endeavor to dump an actor with such an A-list, high profile – but after they heard the tapes they probably would have realized her committed career suicide,’ said Hollywood Image consultant, Michael Sands. “It could have destroyed the agency’s image to have kept him on board.”

Mel Gibson Racist and Offensive Rant Audio Released

It was only a legend up until a few hours ago. Now it has been released wordlwide for everyone to hear. A recording of Mel Gibson spewing some very offensive remarks to Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his love child. Only place you can hear this right now is here. (Warning: may be highly offensive to some users. Graphic and racist language is used.)

If Mel Gibson wasn't hated enough already, this certainly will put another nail in the coffin. There is no hiding from this one as it offends everyone under the sun. He won't have any work except hawking noxycut on infomercials by the time this over. From African Americans, to any woman. It is impossible to describe. They list the audio in text form at the like above too if you can't listen to it right away although you have probably seen that already. Listening to it just makes it all that more obscene.

Lebron James LEaving Cleveland Makes People Mad (Especially Dan Gilbert)

There probably isn't a bigger entertainment story this week than the Lebron James decision on what team he is going to sign with. This is by far the most publicized free agent move in sports history. Lebron James had a 1 HOUR special last night to reveal where he was going to go. It was the Miami Heat to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to form a Dream Team.

Nobody is more upset than Cleveland fans, and I can't blame them. They feel betrayed, and really I would be upset if a player like this left my home team. Fans must feel like someone died. They are all gonna need a healthy batch of diet supplements after their bouts with depression.

Cleveland Cavaliers majority owner, Dan Gilbert seems to be as upset as anyone about Lebron's "desertion". He released this statement to the media today:

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailers Out

I can't hide the fact that I am a Harry Potter nerd. By far my favorite books in the last decade. I have them on audiobook with Stephen Frye reading them and listen to them over and over and over. They are like my Catcher in the Rye...>:)

I haven't really enjoyed any of the movies. They just can't capture the true feeling of the books for me. So many things get left out, and most of them are things I think are important. Like Dobby turning into Neville....ugh wish someone wuould kick him wiht their kamik rain boots.

I think the worst thing about the movie is how they portray Dumbeldore though. In the books he's so funny. Great sense of humor, and always light. In the movies he is way too serious and has no real personality. I don't like it.

So...if Dobby=Neville...what is gonna happen at the Malfoy's in this one? They gonna skip the entire scene? Probably. Not sure how Neville is gonna get in there, or they will just make something else stupid up that makes no sense I'm sure. One of the most emotional parts of all the books is during this part so I hope they do it instead of skipping over it.

Deathly Hallows is gonna be a 2-parter so they should get a lot of it,b ut there is no chance to get everything I deem important. Not a chance they can capture the epic journey of our 3 heroes sufficiently, but what are you gonna do? Probably now watch it...lol

Here's the latest trailer:

Get Him to the Greek Review Positive

It's always great when a comedy comes out with people you recognize as being in other movies you thought were funny. (ie. Jonah Hill the fat dude from Superbad, Knocked Up, etc.). Certainly he will have weight loss success stories later on , but for now that is how I know him. Not by name.

I guess what I look for almost every time when I look for reviews on a movie is Roger Ebert. While I may not always agree with his tastes I almost always agree with his fairness, and his opinions on the movies he views. He seems to catch things that most other reviewers don't, and doesn't try to act like he is an art school nerd all the time. Well he does sometimes, but he at least makes his reviews understandable to people that hate those types.

He of course gave the movie high marks (3/4 stars):

There are really two movies here. One is a gross-out comedy that grows lyrical in its exuberant offensive language, its drug excesses, its partying, its animal behavior. The other movie, which comes into focus, so to speak, in the last half, is surprisingly sweet, and shows that Aldous and Aaron arrive at a friendship that has been tempered in the forge of their misbehavior. Both "Get Him to the Greek" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" were produced by Judd Apatow, who does a nice line in gross-out comedies.

I really don't need anymore to be quite honest.

Miley Cyrus Not Even Pretending now

Hannah Montana has grown up it seems. Well when it suits her to act like she wants. Other times I'm sure she is pretending she is a goody goody to make all the family fans happy. I guess she just wants to live it up for real before she hits any female pattern hair loss right?

Miley appeared on Britain's Got Talent this week and I guess pretended to kiss another woman. Oh no! She didn't even kiss her, but it still caused an uproar because she is pure and untainted according to corporate America and their Evil anti-sex empires.

She whines back on her website:

"To all my fans, Thank you for all the support you all show me. Sometimes you’re the only thing keepin’ me goin’ strong! There are so many people out there that are so negative and always causing new issues. I feel like the entertainment industry has become nothing but a disgusting tabloid.

“I performed ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ this week on one of my favorite shows here in the UK Britian’s Got Talent. Which is totally true, there were some amazinnnggg acts (but of course no one could focus on that.) I had such a blast and was so honored to be on that stage. That being said during my performance I supposedly ‘KISSED A GIRL’ and this is the newest thing to cause controversy.

“I promise you I did not kiss her and it is ridiculous that two entertainers cant even rock out with each other without the media making it some type of story. I really hope my fans are not disappointed in me because the truth is I did nothing wrong. I got up there and did my job which is to perform to the best of my ability. I just want to put an end to this right now and just say one thing to everyone out there making this performance such a big deal.

“GET OVER IT! NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE ARE WAYYYYYYY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD. Let’s start focusing a little less on making up ignorant rumors and focus a little more on world peace! We gotta a lot of work to do if we wan this earth to be here much longer. Let’s make a change! It wouldn’t hurt the world to show a little more love. X M”

Gary Coleman Divorced WAY Before Death

Quite a few people talking about how Gary Coleman's supposed "wife" may not have had the authority to say the plug could be pulled before his death. Many have looked into it and have confirmed that he was indeed divorced from Shannon Price at the time of his death on May 28, People reports.

On top o fall that the 911 call has been floating around today and people are getting more and more suspicious about the events surrounding Mr. Coleman's death. Not sure what the motive is since Coleman seemed to be hurting for cash doing stuff like payday loan commercials. He would have been lucky to get a gig promoting www.dietsupplementreviews.org it seems. This story is definitely not over yet that's for sure.

“We’re definitely concerned about this and we’re looking into what exactly happened here,” Janet Frank, a spokesperson for the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center — the hospital in which Coleman passed away — told People. “Shannon certainly portrayed herself as his wife to our staff and doctors. We assumed she was telling the truth. We can’t comment on specific details in Mr. Coleman’s case, but in general, any patient on life support is thoroughly evaluated medically before life support is ended.”

More On Fame=Rape

I think I am going to follow this story closely. Why? I am quite bored today that's why. That and I find stuff like this to be rather interesting. Not what she said, but the reaction to it. The girl is going to get ostracized by the comment. There are no doubts about this. Of course nobody takes her side so I will and I don't even know who she is.

She said this:

"What you don't see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction," the Twilight starlet told the latest issue of Britain's Elle Magazine.

"The photos are so ... I feel like I'm looking at someone being raped."

Rape centers are already speaking to the press about this. Well..people from the press are calling rape centers so that they have a story to post. I bet you think the rape centers are happy because this is great marketing for rape. Oh...that isn't what rape centers are for? Sorry. Take some Lipofuze and relax.

First quote I have seen from a rape center is:

"I understand that Kristen Stewart was expressing that she feels violated.

"Sure violation is a form of sexual assault, but it's the most serious and the most personal. It's clearly a poor choice of words."

"Fame Is Like Being Raped"

Somebody said it. Did it piss you off just reading it? If it did I could care less. This quote comes from a young lady I have no interest in, or the movies she appears in. You guessed it...some broad from Twilight. Kristen Stewart, who I don't know, did an interview in which she compared being famous to being RAPED.

I'm sure her PR man is very proud. The comments on the article just let me know how petty the world is though. I guess it takes something like this just to realize how much I hate entertainment news and the people that follow it. Hell...people in general I guess. These kinds of discussions always make me realize how pointless most of my time is. How wasted it is. Do I need to go to depressiontreatment.net right now and get help? Nah...I just needed to vent :)

Victoria Secret Model to Replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3

Not sure if this could men any less to me. Well...I think they are both hot, but they both look really f'd up at times I have sen them too. I think Megan is a bit hotter until I see her anorexic body. The other girl looks like she used to be cross-eyed, but became really hot one day. Oh her name is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

As for Tranformers 3? Pfffft...don't think there is any reason I would ever go see this movie. The first one was utter trash. One of the most boring and terrible movies I have ever seen. People that thought it was great make me want to puke on my glass tile. All the actors sucked, and the story was even worse. If you liked it I hope you never have any children.

Did You Get Sent Home With Pain Meds When You Got Your Wisdom Teeth Pulled?

I'm just curious. I've had 2 at a time pulled and they sent me home with gauze and nothing else. I had local anesthetic when they were pulled and drove myself home 15 minutes after it was over. Yeah...I'm hardcore..;)

Anyways, I just find it funny that Lindsay Lohan got a court approval to get pain meds after her wisdom teeth got pulled. Farce? Of course. Why not? Obviously some people have a low tolerance for pain, but almost everyone I have ever met that got any meds after wisdom teeth being pulled got some crappy Tylenol 3. Completely worthless.

The only thing good that came out of mine getting pulled was that I'm a great actor and pretended to be in pain for a couple days so my girlfriend would wait on me hand and foot, and let me just lay there for once :D.

If Lohan gets good enough stuff that she gets a good buzz maybe she will even buy plants and gifts for dad at ProFlowers. Surely the pain is that bad to get some hallucigens isn't it?

Newest Internet Sensation: Greyson Chance

Imagine being in 6th grade one day, knowing you can kind of sing and play the piano, and you lived in 1960 where you paid $10,000 to buy memory that you can get for pennies today. Nothing would probably happen to you. Now imagine that in 2010 where you had a small concert recorded at your school, came home and put it on Youtube. You become an overnight star.

Greyson Chase did just this. HE has 4 videos on Youtube. The first is the one below that has over 18 Million views at this point, and the next ones came right after including an appearance on the television show Ellen in which Lady Gaga calls in to say hi to the kid that performed her song and uploaded it to Youtube.

Law & Order Finally Cancelled After 100 Years

OK...it has only been 20 years, but it has felt like 100. It certainly has aired enough on every channel for 24/7 the last 20 years that it feels like it has been 100. NBC announced this week that the show has been canceled. Not really though. In its place, NBC is ordering a new drama, “Law & Order: Los Angeles,” moving the franchise to a place where there are presumably more murders to investigate.

More importantly, with the cancellation of this series comes the loss of thousands of jobs. Katherine Oliver, the commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting, said that every year the show provided jobs to about 4,000 people, including one-day acting roles. Its spending totaled about $79 million annually, she said, including things like coffee and bagels, weight loss products, boom microphones and duct tape. During its 20-year run, that impact amounted to as much as $1 billion or more, she said.

When Dogs Appear On Television

For some reason morning shows, and the other cheeseball shows women watch during the day like to have the same kinds of guests all the time. Chefs, animal breeders, sex doctors, people that tell you how to exercise and how to reduce belly fat, etc.

When they bring on animals you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes they do nothing, but most of the time they are there to do something funny, and then you totally disregard anything the "expert is saying. Regis and Kelly had one recently that did just that.

Dr. Conrad Murray (MJ's Doctor) Saves Airline Passenger

Well...drop all charges. Dr. Murray is a hero. According to TMZ.com the good doctor rushed to the aid of an airline passenger after she passed out. Apprently ths was a serious health concern, although I am no doctor so I guess I will just say good job at being a doctor, doctor.

The story is odd because she says he told her, "You probably know me ... I was Michael Jackson's doctor.". I wonder if later she was given some advice on the best fat burners, or pain killers.

Lindsay Lohan to Play a Pornstar

Lindsay Lohan has been more or less a giant source of all sort of disaster the last 5 or so years. Going from a teen idol to another child star sad story.

It appears she may be in line for a pretty interesting role. That of Linda Lovelace, the star of the porn "Deep Throat". So...we should be seeing a lot of dim Minka Aire lights on here while she gets naked for a while.

Lindsay Lohan will portray a porn star, according to Wali Razaqi, the producer of the film Inferno. And not just any porn star: Linda Lovelace, the Deep Throat superstar who later became a feminist crusader against pornography. Razaqi confirmed to EW.com that “Lindsay Lohan has been cast as Linda Lovelace” in Inferno, and also told The Los Angeles Times that “We’ve all thought that Lindsay would be a great choice for a while now, and we’re all convinced that she is going to do it.”

Another Big Brother Contestant Linked to Drug Ring

Big Brother 9 is looking like an all-star cast of convicts. Last year the BB 9 winner, Adam Jasinski, was arrested for allegedly starting an oxycodone ring with his $500,000 BB winnings. Now one of his allies from the show, Matthew McDonald is being accused of involvement in the same ring.

McDonald has been in trouble a lot this month. A real swell guy that was accused of beating his pregnant girlfriend, and then for intimidating her to drop the charges. The drug dealing arrest will be his third in this month alone. I'm sure the last thing he is going to need is weight loss pill with all the stress he is about to have. he is looking at 20 years and a $1 million fine.

"How To Train Your Dragon" Reclaims #1 Slot In Theaters

After falling to 2nd place last week against comic book adaption "Kick-Ass", "How to Train Your Dragon" moved back up to the top spot in a pretty mediocre box office weekend. HTTYD ended up with $15 Million in sales at #1, while Jennifer Lopez' return to the big screen after 4 years came in at #2 with $12.3 million for "The Back Up Plan".

"Kick-Ass" fell all the way down to #5 as another comic book movie "The Losers" came in at a disappointing #4 of $9.6 million. "Date Night" filled int he rest of the top 5 at #3.

Looked like a pretty uninspired weekend at the box office to me. Pretty much all "rental" movies as far as I';m concerned. Rather spend time browsing http://www.dietpillsforwomen.org instead of dropping $50 at the theater for any of these movies.

Hugh Hefner Saves Hollywood Sign

He wasn't the only one, but apparently he donated the last $900K to makes sure that the Hollywood sign would remain right where it was. For some reason, the 138 acres behind the iconic sign were up for sale, and developers actually had the balls to say they were eying the hillside, once owned by Howard Hughes, for luxury mansions.

Of course they had a little heart. They allowed a nonprofit land-conservation group the chance to buy the land for $12.5 million. As an April 30 deadline neared, the group was nearly $1 million short.

"I was aware of the fact that they were raising the money, but I only learned about a week ago that they were running out of time," said Hefner. "They only had about a week and a half left to go." He came up with the rest and saved all those that dream of no longer needing to goop on acne medication and become stars their dreams.

"It would have been a real shame after having restored it if it wound up sold," Hefner, 84, told PEOPLE on Monday at the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 2, with the legendary 45-foot white letters looming in the background. "It's become something iconic and represents not only the town but represents Hollywood dreams, and I think that's something worth preserving."

Susan Boyle to Publish Her Story In Her Own Words

A British publisher has signed on with the singing sensation, Susan Boyle to write her auto-biography "The Woman I Was Born To Be". N o American publication has been announced, but you can surely bet there will be phonies (Catcher in the Rye moment) climbing through the windows to get in on the action. Surely this will be a best selling book no matter what the quality of the authorship is. Susan Boyle is the great underdog story, and everyone loves an underdog. Coming from her rustic furniture to Hollywood and becoming an International star in one night.

Ms. Boyle said she was “writing this book to try to show that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” She added: “When I strutted on to the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie, still grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I’m not so frightened anymore.”

Oprah dated John Tesh?

Well...it wasn't recently. How old do you fell? You are probably gonna feel a lot older knowing these two people for so long. I only know Tesh because he wrote the NBA on NBC theme song.

Anyways it appears that in some tell-all cash grab book written by some scumbag named Kitty Kelly reveals that Oprah and Tesh dated all the way back in the 1970s. They lived together while lifting office supplies and doing local news in Tennessee.

The book claims Tesh quickly ended the relationship after deciding he could not deal with the social pressures accompanied with interracial dating. Interesting.

Oprah: A Biography, written by Kitty Kelley, hits stores Tuesday. Kelley has also written unauthorized biographies on First Lady Jackie Kennedy, Frank Sinatra and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

Clash of the Titans Looks to Be in For a good Weekend (and 3-D hate)

The next of the major 2-D conversions to 3-D blockbusters seems to be in line for a stellar box office despite mixed reviews. Clash of the Titans is a remake from the 1981 classic (it was a favorite of mine as a kid, but it was utter cheeseball), and looks to be ready to pull in $6-75 million over the weekend despite a lot of complaints.

With Hollywood going full board into the 3-D realm, every movie that is coming out practically is going 3-D. We've even heard it getting so far as home 3-D HDTV, and cell phones joining in later. Whether it makes any sense for it to be in 3-D, or not is besides the point. Hollywood knows they can jack ticket prices up 25% regardless if they screen them in 3-D. This is one of the major negatives of the current trend, and movie goers aren't excited about it.

Of course if you can find a non-3D screening you have nothing to complain about.

Hot Tub Time Machine

Is this the most advertised movie you have ever heard of? I swear it is talked about as much as anything else going on right now. I even see it being talked about on ESPN. According to most reviews I have seen it is getting a good reception. On the level of The Hangover at least, which is plenty good enough to make it a big seller at the box office I assume.

Starving for an over the top comedy, and kicking off the comedy that is going to come over the summer this will probably have a good run.

Is it going t be stupid? Yes. Is it going to be hilarious? Probably. Should you use drugs before going to see it? Absolutely. Wearing tuxedo shirts to the theater probably isn't such a bad idea either if you want to look like you are down with the 80s.

Movie Studios Jumping on 2-D Conversion to 3-D Bandwagon

Oh joy. As if most movies out didn't suck enough, do we really need to watch them all in 3-D so that the suckiness is flying right into our faces? "Avatar" director James Cameron sees misguided thriftiness in Hollywood studios' latest craze to convert big movie projects from 2-D to 3-D, but the pace of such conversions shows no signs of letting up.

While Cameron isn't against them making everything 3-D, he says that converting from 2-D is just lazy, and the quality is going to be much worse than if it were filmed that way.

Many directors feel the same way. They want a say in what happens to their films, but studios have gone all out in starting to convert anything and everything they can get their hands on.

"Transformers" maker Michael Bay has questioned the move, too.

"The problem is these decisions should be made by filmmakers, they shouldn't be made by studios, because if it was up to studios they're going to sacrifice quality for lower cost," Cameron said, in an event to promote the April 22 release of the DVD for "Avatar."

Studios are rapidly converting now that Walt Disney Co has seen its 3-D conversion "Alice in Wonderland" sell more than $570 million in tickets since its March 5 debut.

I even saw a new HDTV advertised during Lost last night that is the first 3-D home TV available from Samsung. What the hell is going on? They showed people sitting at home with 3-D glasses on. Do I want to see flying weight loss pills on TV? Does anyone honestly want to watch everything with 3-D glasses on? LMAO

Octomom Not Good With Money? Shocking.

The whole Octomom thing was one of the more surreal attempts at fame we have ever seen. While people usually can't get enough of kids, they certainly weren't impressed with the Octomom that exploited them for her own purposes, and ended up making herself look like a whackjob.

So...was it really a surprise when we found out that she spent way more money than she had, or that her house could soon be foreclosed upon? Not really.

What's even more insane is a recent offer she took to help to keep the foreclosure from becoming reality. She accepted a $5,000 deal from the animal rights group PETA to put a sign in her front yard proclaiming, "Don't Let Your Dog or Cat Become an Octomom. Always Spay or Neuter.". She also got a month's supply of veggie burgers and hot dogs in exchange for placing the sign in front of her house in La Habra. Maybe she could use some night repair cream as well. She'll take anything I'm sure.

What a deal!

Jesse James Searched For "Busty Biker Chicks" Online

If Sandra Bullock was embarrassed about her cheating husband before, she might feel a little bit better now at least. Her husband is clearly crazy. Recent reports suggest that while in his cheating he searched online for "well endowed biker chicks". LOL

It appears that he has no interest in a fat burner for women, but he does have a thing for biker chicks.

Sources tell Us Weekly that tattoo model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee is just the first person to come forward alleging an affair with James.

The magazine reports that James, 40, would regularly post Internet ads looking for "hot, tattooed biker chicks with big boobs," and then invite the girls back to his West Coast Choppers bike shop in Long Beach.

James' infidelity has been an openly-known secret among employees at the bike shop, the magazine says, adding that James "gets bored" when Bullock is away.

A former high level, female executive with the bike shop also settled a sexual harassment claim against James and West Coast Choppers for $725,000 in 2007, while he was married to Bullock, TMZ is reporting.

L O S T: The Richard Episode

We've all been waiting forever to finally get some insight into the mystery that is Richard Alpert. Finally, last night in the episode "Ab Aeterno", we got to see it. Maybe not the way we expected, but we saw pretty much all Richard all the time.

The episode started with Richard tending to his sickly wife. NEeding medicine he tool a trip to a doctor a half a day away (Richard is really old if you hadn't figured this out and he was riding a horse). While being told that he couldn't afford the medicine, Richard accidentally killed the doctor, and fled to give it to his wife. She had died before he returned, and we see guard come take him away for murder.

While in jail he was taken as a slave of sorts aboard the Black Rock, the ship of fairy tales in the Lost universe. A big storm hits and it crashes into the giant statue where Jacob resides in a tidal wave, and the ship has found the island. Immediately upon waking the ship captain comes below deck and starts to knock off all the prisoners for fear of running out of supplies, or them killing him eventually. Then Smokey comes and finishes them ALL off except Richard who probably feels like he has been rotting in conjugated linoleic acid. This is where he meets the Man in Black for the first time.

By using his manipulative nature, MiB convinces Richard that he is dead, and in Hell. That if he helps him kill the Devil he can see his wife again. Richard eagerly agrees, and sets off to kill Jacob. Jacob kicks his ass. :D

Jacob explains to Richard that he isn't dead, and his service to Jacob begins and he gains this sort of eternal life. Almost all of the episode is a flashback, but we see n present Lost world that Richard has come to believe that he wasted his life. He seeks MiB to take him up on the offer he gave him originally, but Hugo comes to save the day by telling him what his wife is saying as a ghost. Hugo sees and talks to ghosts obviously.

It lived up to the hype in every way.

Kendra Wilkinson Wants to Make Cast of Breasts

Who is Kendra Wilkinson? Do you know? I don't, but we are about ready to find out because seeing "boobs" in a headline is plenty enough to get me to read it ;).

Oh...she is apparently a "star" on E!. She is married to Hank Basket Jr, some other guy I never heard of.

She appeared on some irrelevant show called Lopez Live according to People.com and talked about her pregnancy. When the subject came around to making a cast of her pregnant belly, she said that she will likely make a cast of her boobs as well. Perfect for wedding party gifts IMO.

"I feel like I'm a little top heavy now," Wilkinson explained before asking the audience: "What do you guys all think?" She was met with resounding boos.

As for her husband, Basket claims he'll be supportive of her decision. "I'm definitely going to miss 'em," he said. "I'm gonna put them up around my house. They're going in my office."

But Wilkinson, who gave birth to son Hank Baskett IV in December, would like to keep a memento of her chest. "We did a belly cast when I was pregnant," she said. "We'll do a boob cast."

Corey Haim's Reported Cause of Death: Pulmonary Congestion

In layman's terms, a heart attack. The autopsy report also said he had an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water. Prescription bottles containing four different medications were taken from Haim's room, but coroners did not confirm they were in his system. Same could be said for his outdoor cushions that were probably there.

Haim died Wednesday after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital. The actor, 38, was taken from his mother's North Hollywood home by ambulance to Burbank's Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, according to police Sgt. Frank Albarran.

"He got out of bed about 1:30 this morning, was a little unsteady on his feet," Winter said on "Good Morning America" Wednesday. Haim's mother then called the paramedics.

Conan O'Brien Releases Dates For Upcoming National Tour

With Conan no longer being on television he decided that he would be going back on the road to his roots and do a bit of stand up. Always known as a great comedy writer and comedian even before his late shows, Conan spent many years behind the scenes writing comedy.

His new tour will be in 30 cities, and expects to be sold out fairly quickly. With a fat stash of cash from his settlement he isn't exactly hurting for the money, but he may have had his pride hurt, and will probably do his share of bad mouthing NBC and the situation this year.

The man that looks like he has always had the best weight loss products and never seen the sun, will start the tour on April 12 in Eugene, Oregon called: The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour. The title refers to Mr. O’Brien’s settlement with NBC, which included a provision that he cannot appear on television again until after Sept. 1.

Letterman Blackmailer Pleads Guilty to Grand Larceny

Robert “Joe” Halderman, a former television producer, pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the case where he tried to blackmail Dacid Letterman. He acknowledged he tried to take $2 million from the TV show host.

Letterman made the whole thing into a joke at the time, and it actually helped him get over any criticism that followed. Unlike most celebs that try and just apologize and praise god, Letterman took it in stride and just blew off the digging into his private life, and sexual affairs. From the sound of it he must not have much in the way of
joint pains if he was really getting down to business that often.

Under the plea agreement, Halderman must give prosecutors all copies of any diary entries, photos, screenplay notes or other materials he has concerning Letterman and must agree never to reveal the contents.


Halderman apologized to the host of the “Late Show,” also on CBS, as he spelled out the details of his crime in a Manhattan court, reading a prepared statement at first so quickly that the judge asked him to slow down.

“I attempted to extort $2 million from David Letterman by threatening to disclose personal and private information about him, whether true or false,” he said.

Betty White Will Host SNL Next Month

Betty White, the 88 year old actress will be hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8 as part of a Mother's Day celebration. You may not know her from much other than Golden Girls, but she is incredibly funny in every cameo I have seen her in. Most people that age are more concerned about Read more: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/35814012/ns/entertainment-celebrities/#ixzz0hvGpXnwN than working, but not her. It appears that she has a lot of fans, as there was a campaign to get her the slot on Facebook that was taken notice by Lorne Michaels.

Besides featuring the Golden Girl, who was the subject of a Facebook campaign to get her the gig, the special Mother's Day episode will also reunite six former female "SNL" cast members, most of whom happen to be moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.

Twilight Fans Say Some Trailer is Perfect

Some Twilight movie is coming out I hear. Apparently the trailer for this movie is "perfect" according to the weirdos that watch this crap. I'd rather watch 80 year olds play with toys, or paint dry than try to get into Twilight,b ut it is what it is.

According to MTV.com Twilight dorks have taken to MTV News to react to Thursday's (March 11) premiere of the "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" trailer. And judging from comments left on blogs and articles about the preview, Twilighters can't wait to see what happens next for Bella, Edward and Jacob.

Oh...what a surprise. Teenage girls are interested in hot looking dudes.

Sarah Palin Shopping Reality Series According

Whether you love, or hate Sarah Palin, she is a ratings grabber. Many want to see her make a fool of herself, while she has just as many supporters it appears. IT is no surprise to me that she has gone straight celebrity life since the election. I always pictured her doing a radio show, or a reality TV show eventually, and it appears we are almost there.

Of course, the pitch for this reality show is about Alaska. It is being pitched as a "TV docudrama about Alaska" to executives at Fox, CBS, and NBC. According to one of Rice's sources, the show is a "planet-Earth type look" at Alaska. The Palin family of course is going to appear.

Good luck with that whole "Alaska" thing. People either want to see her vindicate herself as someone considered to be less than intelligent, or they want to see her look like Ozzy on The Osbournes. I just don't see the Alaska pitch working so well. This show will be abut The Palins, and I wouldn't be shocked if it was called that as well.

Hope she has a nice supply of lipozene, because she is going to be on camera an awful lot soon. For entertainment purposes you may want to check out the Huffington Post article on this since they seem to rile up the best Conservatives, and the Liberals are certainly uppity there.

Alice in Wonderland Could Outpace Avatar's Opening Weekend?

According to Reuters, some are estimating that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland opening Friday could actually make more than Avatar its opening weekend.

Avatar is now the biggest grossing movie of all-time, and it is unlikely that Alice in Wonderland would even approach that over the long run, but to beat its opening weekend would certainly be a nice start for the film unless the box office hits fatburner.org and these estimates aren't even close..

Pre-release tracking indicates the Disney film could ring up $75 million or more through Sunday. "Avatar" opened to $77 million in mid-December on its way to becoming the biggest movie of all time.

"Alice" also bows this week in 41 foreign territories; Japan, Spain, China and several other countries will get "Alice" in future months.

Quite a surprising estimate to me. While I am interested in seeing this, I didn't think this type of movie would resonate that well with most people. Tim Burton may make some movies that appear to be for kids, but they are basically kids movies that kids shouldn't see. Alice in Wonderland certainly fits the role of the Adult Fairy Tale if the dark sides of the story are used for the theme. OF course I expect Burton to use these themes and thus make kids not want to see it.

LEo DiCaprio Say sShutter Island Was "Traumatic" to Film

Hmmmm...I'll bet buddy. You can tie me up and beat me senseless for a week for the kind of money you got to be in this bad boy. Trust me. Traumatic is about the last thing you should be feeling...lol

Try reading a hydrolyze review for the 3rd time today and you might feel your struggles are much less than mine.

“It took me back to the one time I really remembered my dreams because I usually don’t. But when I used a nicotine patch when I was trying to quit smoking, I did have bloodcurdling nightmares of mass murders, and I woke up in the middle of the night and had to take the patches off,” DiCaprio said in a new interview with Parade.com. “I guess I had moments like that in the film.”

The actor said filming the project not only haunted him while he was asleep, but during his days of preparation and while on the set.

“I have to say ‘Shutter Island’ was one of the most intense, hardcore filming experiences I’ve ever had as we explored what the mentally ill had to face in the days when mental hospitals were called insane asylums,” he said. “It was really very traumatic, and I don’t say that about a film very often. I went to places and unearthed some things that I didn’t think I was capable of. It was like an emotional layer cake that just kept getting deeper and deeper.”

Yeah well..that's great. Have fun with all that money and banging the hottest women alive.

Pamela Anderson To Be On Dancing With the Stars

Every boy had a dream when they watched Baywatch. To have sex with Pam Anderson. Then they got to watch as Pam had sex with other men for our viewing pleasure in a number of home pornos. In her heyday she may have been one of the hottest women to ever live. I still think Angelina Jolie was the sexiest ever, and Adriana Lima is by far my current favorite, but Pam was the blonde bombshell of the 90s that's for sure.

While she is a legendary sex pot, I have seen some pretty bad pics of her lately and some cellulite. I'm not saying she hasn't gotten this fixed though. We all know she is no stranger to plastic surgery. She is basically 100% fake. So instead of doing things like phentermine reviews now I guess Dancing is her next step. A show i have never seen, and still won't :P.

Lil' Wayne Gets 8 Root Canals...Before Jail

Normally a person getting 8 root canals is pretty insane. Getting even one is painful, and unless you are constantly high as hell there is no way you could live with the pain to put this off. Lil' Wayne of course has a bunch of implants in his teeth already. You know like any rapper does with gold teeth. In his case it appears they are...yeah gold.

The Tuesday surgery provided the him with eight root canals. This surgery delayed his impending trip to jail. The procedure lasted eight hours and also included several redone tooth implants, additional implants and work on his grill and remaining teeth. Maybe some plastic surgery next, some miracle eye cream, and a breast implant to stay out of jail longer?

Lil Wayne will head to jail on March 2 to serve out his year-long sentence at Riker’s Island.

Shutter Island Getting Mixed Reviews?

Seems that people are all over the place with this one. I haven't seen it yet myself, but you could tell me that it was the worst movie you ever saw (you know these types. Read the IMDb boards of any movie once and every movie has at least 10 of these people) and I would still go see it. Leo DiCaprio is too awesome of an actor for me to miss any movie he is in.

I suppose it doesn't matter a hell of a lot if it gets mixed reviews. It ws #1 on teh Box Office charts this week regardless of the early reviews. I guess peopel agree with me that Leo is the man.

All the dorks that probably should be spending their time getting blackhead extraction are spending it reviewing movies. There is nothing that annoys me more than the typical douchebag movie reviewer trying to be the next Roger Ebert (this guy rules IMO). Trying to use big words, and act like they are a poet. Just quit all the BS and say what you want without using a thesaurus for every other word to try and sound like you actually know what the hell you are talking about.

New Ricky Gervais Cartoon Show on HBO

IF you are an Office fan, and decided to actually look into the origins of the U.S. version by finding the BBC version you know exactly who Ricky Gervais is. Gervais has done much more than The Office, but many will recognize him from there. He has been an amazing comedian for years. You may have even seen a bit of him on Youtube as someone who is always listed for some of his atheist comments.

The cartoon show, which begins Friday night on HBO, is called The Ricky Gervais Show. The animated series stars Gervais, Stephen Merchant (his co-writer on "The Office," and co-writer and costar in "Extras") and Karl Pilkington, a "producer" of the original radio show and now a star in his own right.

So...if you are a fan check it out. I'm sure it has to be at least somewhat funnier than going in for acne scar removal doesn't it?

Tiger Woods Press Conference Apology Today

If you were watching television at around 3 PM ET today you probably got pre-empted on some channels by a Tiger Woods press conference. The presser was called for Tiger to speak publicly for the first time since all of the cheating on his wife stuff went down.

So...he rambled on for about 20 minutes about how sorry her was, and how many mistakes he had made. Saying that he felt he was owed many of the things he did since he had earned it. Of course he said he realized that he was wrong about this, and that the apologized.

I am one of those people that could c are less about how many women he bangs. He is a rich celebrity and him cheating on his wife is hardly news. The public outcry for his head after the whole thing was ludicrous.

What is more ludicrous? This was treated like a political speech by many networks. They had discussion panels on a few stations BREAKING DOWN HIS SPEECH. Seriously, what the hell have we come to?

Tiger didn't say when he was returning to golf though, which was the only thing I actually cared about. I can't wait until he comes back as Pissed Off Tiger. Other golfers may as well just watch on TV while they run on their ellipticals because he is going to destroy them all.

Jay Leno Show is Done. Taking Month Off

Not like I ever watched his show anyways. Even in the last 10 years I can't remember watching his show unless I just happened to be watching something else on whatever channel he is on, forgot busy on the computer, and forgot to change it. Yeah...I don't really watch TV much. Just have it on for noise.

So...if you are watching on your bell tv now, you aren't going to see anymore Jay Leno. Well...I lied. He is gone for a month and then it appears that he is taking over The Tonight Show Again. What a dick (from what I am told). I'm sure those morons that have those "I'm For Coco", or whatever the hell those things were are all quite happy . God knows they have no lives.

Anyways, this whole thing has yet to blow over so you can bet your ass that I will chime in on it more in the future because this has so much to do with my everyday life.

Negotiations For Surrender of Michael Jackson's Doctor

Ummm...why does he have to surrender? Just show up at his yacht and say..."You're under arrest dude for being a terrible doctor...K? Thanks. At least you could sell your patients term life insurance before you kill them."

No case has been filed against Dr. Conrad Murray, but the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office is expected to file an involuntary manslaughter charge and potentially other counts against him this week, said numerous sources familiar with the case.

Murray’s lead attorney, Ed Chernoff, said he and Deputy Dist. Atty. David Walgren were discussing arrangements for booking and arraigning the doctor after the case is filed.

“We both share the goal of the efficient administration of this process,” Chernoff said.

La Toya JAckson Wants to Replace Simon Cowell

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, let me stop laughing for second. Seeing that headline sent me into a fit of laughter I can't even explain why. I was hoping that seeing her name in the headlines might be accompanied by something like jobs in healthcare (rim shot) instead, but this will do.

TMZ says: La Toya Jackson is next in line to fill Simon Cowell's shoes on "American Idol" -- that's if La Toya Jackson has anything to do with it.

We're told MJ's sister and former "Idol" producer Nigel Lythgoe cozied up at a housewarming party for Kathy Hilton in Bel Air recently -- before Simon broke his big news -- and the topic came up of La Toya possibly guest-judging on the show.

But now that Simon's out of the picture, La Toya wants more.

We spoke to her and she tells TMZ: "I would LOVE to be a judge on 'American Idol.' I would love to have a chance for the public get to know the real me. I would be thrilled."

Avatar Tops Box Office For 5th Straight Week; Moves to #3 All-time

Avatar is a box office wonder. IT is almost unheard of most of the time to see a movie even make it to the top box office spot for more than a week or 2 nowadays. There are just too many new movies, and not enough movie goers to get a movie that many tickets sold for over a month. Avatar is one of those movies that it seems people are willing to go see more than once, however.

For the 5th straight week, Avatar sits a top the box office leader boards pulling in another $41.3 million, and is closing in on $500 million with domestic sales alone.

Denzel Washington’s “Book of Eli” settled for the #2 spot for the weekend, opening with $31.6 million. It is a post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.

At #3 was Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones”, earning $17.1 million after expanding nationwide in its sixth weekend showing.

Also, Avatar has just passed Star Wars as the 3rd most grossing film of all-time. They are not coming close to any quick weight loss diets in the sales department anytime soon it appears with a whopping $1.6 Billion worldwide sales total thus far. This is 2nd behind Cameron Crowe's tother top box office hit, Titanic at $1.8375 Billion. It is expected to pass #2 The Dark Knight within 2 weeks.

Avatar Wins the Big Awards At the Golden Globes

While it isn't exactly surprising that Avatar took some major awards at the Golden Globes last night, I always wonder how exactly these things get voted on. Clearly, Avatar is a pretty epic adventure, with a ton of amazing new CGI, but is it really that amazing of a movie? Enough to warrant the one award it won: Best Movie Drama?

It is obviously the biggest box office sensation since The Dark Knight, and may end up being the biggest of all time, but sales doesn't always make a movie great to me. Apparently it does for voters though.

Russel Crowe seemingly using working anti aging products has hit the big time again and has 2 of the top 5 grossing movies of all-time now. Titanic being the other. He also was awarded with the Best Director Golden Globe for his work on Avatar.

Nobody won more than 2 Golden Globes, but Avatar got the biggest ones of the bunch.

First-time winner "Dexter" nabbed television awards for two of its stars: Michael C. Hall (Best Actor, Drama) and John Lithgow (Best Supporting Actor, Drama). "Grey Gardens" also received a pair of awards for Best Miniseries and Best Actress winner Drew Barrymore. Dexter is by far my favorite TV show. Lost is probably second right now.

Joining Hall and Barrymore in the pool of first-time Golden Globe winners was Mo'Nique ("Precious"), who opened the awards with an emotional acceptance speech upon winning Best Supporting Actress. Both Mo'Nique and her "Precious" co-star Gabourey Sidibe received praise from various winners as the show progressed.

Here are more winners.

Ricky Gervais Isn't Loved By Everyone At Golden Globes

If you like comedy, and you like The Office (BBC version), you know who Ricky Gervais is. If you are an atheist who loves to watch them make fun of religion on Youtube, you probably know Gervais from that too. It is difficult to like to laugh and not find Gervais at least somewhat comical in my opinion.

While Gervais will probably tell you that he could use some slimming pills on his physique, he isn't really against saying what is on his mind either if you want to attack him and his views. HE isn't going to hold any punches against celebrities either in making fun of them, or Americans, or Christians, either. HE delivered on his promise to "give the A-listers a hard time". at the Golden Globes he hosted Sunday.

His targets included Sir Paul McCartney, Angelina Jolie, Steve Carrell, TV network NBC and the Hollywood set in general.

"Looking at all the faces here makes me remember all the great work that's been done this year by cosmetic surgeons," he joked.

BBC News Wrote that critics, including the New York Daily News , agreed Gervais' best quip was to appear on stage with a beer in his hand, saying: "I like a drink as much as the next man... unless the next man is Mel Gibson" - a reference to the Oscar-winner's arrest for drink driving in 2006.

The actor appeared to take the jab in his stride however, pretending to slur his words before announcing James Cameron as best director.

The Associated Press called Gervais "cheeky, silly and funny as heck" for his gentle jabs at the Hollywood glitterati.

"It's an honour to be here in a room full of what I consider to be the most important people on the planet - actors," Gervais opened with. "They're just better than ordinary people, aren't they?"

Gossip website TMZ and Radar Online also praised the host, calling him "hysterical" and "on fire" with his material.

"Actors aren't just loved here in Hollywood, they're loved the world over, because they're recognisable," Gervais said.

"You can be in the Third World, and you get a glimpse of a Hollywood star, and it makes you feel better. You can be a little child, a little Asian child, with no possessions, no money - but you see a picture of Angelina Jolie and you think, 'Mummy!'".

But industry bible The Hollywood Reporter called Gervais' opening minutes "disappointingly toothless", saying he "tackled predictable subjects" and made "few inspired" jokes.

"No doubt award shows will spring him from the bullpen for mid-telecast jumpstarts for some time to come, but his first headline outing was evidence he can't carry an entire event," wrote Andrew Wallenstein.
