TMZ Calls Shawn Johnson "You Little Rat"

As much as I like making fun of people, TMZ seems to have angered a good number of people with this one. Yesterday they posted a picture of U.S. gymnast, and Silver Medal winner in this Olympics, along side a cartoon rat indicating that she looked just like it.

Now...I suppose TMZ isn't known for much tact, or any for that matter, but they do seem to always find a way to seriously offend people for no reason at all. Mocking celebs is their biz, with such things as saying that celebs are looking beat down and need blemish acne cream to cover up their faults.

It's a bit too far when they go after MINORS though in such a mocking fashion. Commenters agree that TMZ went too far this time.

Swing Vote Movie: Guy Sues Claiming He Wrote the Flop

In a bizarre twist, we are seeing someone sue over a movie that nobody wants to see. With a head that looks like it would be better off using Triclear and just going away, someone actually wants to take credit for this movie and it isn't anyone that is in it, or those that produced it.

In the suit, filed today in the U.S. District Court in NY, Bradley Blakeman says in Spring 2006 he gave a copy of his script "Go November" "in confidence" to actor Kelsey Grammer. Blakeman says his movie "involves a unique 'down to the wire' presidential election, hinging on swing voters." Imagine his surprise, Blakeman says, when what he calls the "extraordinarily similar" film "Swing Vote" was released last week. Now he's suing for unspecified damages.

Paris Hilton Mocks John McCain

The McCain camp decided to use Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and others to do a bit of a back handed mockery on Obama recently in a campaign ad. The ad was designed to show that Obama was nothing more than a celebrity and that he has no experience. Yeah...the tired campaign BS of Hillary in force with McCain.

Anyways, after seeing the ads from the tv deals McCain had, Paris decided to fight back and mock him as well. HEre is her campaign video in which she probably at least looks liky a better candidate than "that wrinkly white-haired guy".

Britney Spears's Baby Battle Ends

I guess celeb news has taken a hit this weekend. Britney's custody battle is over. A custody settlement between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline has been finalized, including a $5,000-per-month child-support increase for the pop singer's ex-husband.

Federline, can get his moving boxes together and get into better diggs now I guess. Attorneys delivered the terms of the agreement to a Los Angeles Superior Court office Friday afternoon. According to the documents, Spears' payments to Federline go from $15,000 to $20,000 per month, retroactive to July 15.

Gotta pay for those hookers, booze, and recreational drugs after all.

Dark Knight New Box Office Champ

Batman Dark Knight opened Friday among some of the most hype in recent memory for any movie. That hype paid off as the movie was able to overtake Spiderman 3 as the highest grossing opening weekend film in box office history.

"The Dark Knight" took in a record $155.34 million in its first weekend, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released the "Batman Begins" sequel.

That topped Hollywood's previous best of $151.1 million, set by "Spider-Man 3" in May 2007.

"We knew it would be big, but we never expected to dominate the marketplace like we did," Fellman said. The movie should shoot past the $200 million mark by the end of the week, he said.

Factoring in higher admission prices, however, "Spider-Man 3" may have sold slightly more tickets than "The Dark Knight."

At 2007's average price of $6.88, "Spider-Man 3" sold 21.96 million tickets over opening weekend. Box office tracker Media By Numbers estimates today's average movie prices at $7.08, which means "The Dark Knight" would have sold 21.94 million tickets.

Money means everything though, so it will still get the title of highest opening weekend, although it probably sold less tickets than Spiderman 3 did. I spent the weekend in my sexy swimwear rather than going to the movies so sorry, Dark Knight, I didn't do my part.

Dark Knight to Break Opening Weekend Box Office Record?

I really have no doubt it will. I honestly have not heard more hype around a summer movie in the last 5 years as this one is getting. People just want to see it, and the reviews are spectacular. Add in the Heath Ledger side of it, and combine that with a great movie, this very well could be the biggest weekend opener of all-time.

Already, advance ticket sales have resulted in the sell-out of nearly 1,000 showtimes, online ticket seller Fandango said.

It seems that the super hero franchise movies are the biggest of the bunch. "Dark Knight" will hope to beat the record debut of Sony Pictures Entertainment's "Spider-Man 3" in 2007, which reached $151 million. Sony Pictures is part of Japanese electronics company Sony Corp.

In the No. 2 spot is the $135.6 million debut for 2006's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," released by the film division of The Walt Disney Co. Who cares about #2 though right? ;)

Heath Ledger's "Joker" Named Top 25 Film Villain

One of the most anticipated movies of the summer, and frankly one of the most anticipated movies in a long time I can think of is the new Batman movie, Dark Knight. While we are all still waiting for the theaters to throw off the slipcovers and let us see the movie, accolades are coming in from all over about the performance of the Joker by deceased actor, Heath Ledger.

In fact, Moviefone.com has named Ledger's performance as on the of the Best 25 Villain's of All-Time in a recent list. The list includes notable villains like Hanibal Lecter, Agent Smith of The Matrix, and Annie Wilkes of Misery.

Michael Jackson Seen in Wheelchair in Vegas

Michael Jackson has been so many things over my lifetime that I don't even know what to say about him anymore. When I was a little kid he was a musical genius. Even now I still enjoy a lot of his music. He always had strange image problems. Then this pedophile crap. Now he is out and about in a wheelchair with a dust mask over his face apparently being pushed a round a bookstore looking at some of the best selling . Amazon books.

The New York Daily News, who spoke to the photographer that snapped the pics of the King of Pop being pushed around Las Vegas, reports that the photos were taken on Monday as Jackson was being wheeled around a bookstore. "His skin was peeling and . . . he looks so thin and gaunt," said Mike Lopez, who snapped the photos of Jackson.

I really don't even know what tho say anymore. I sort of feel sad for him now more than anything. I never really believed the whole pedophile thing, but who knows.

Madonna and Britney Gonna Get Freaky

As if MAdonna isn't getting ugly as sin, she has to pull along Britney into her web of freakiness on stage with her in some upcoming shows.

Madonna and Britney have filmed a video for Madonna's upcoming tour that a British tabloid describes as "bondage mummy" and "X-rated." It goes on to describe the near-nude erotic number that follows.

An on-set source describes the montage as "absolutely classic Madonna," calling it "the raunchiest stuff she has ever done. It leaves nothing to the imagination and will be very controversial." More crap that perverts can put on their ipods for some "alone" time.

Free Bon Jovi Tickets! Only $1500 each!

So...Bon Jovi is supposedly holding a free concert in Central Park this Saturday. That was until people that are typically looking for jobs in Atlanta decided that they would go out and see if they could scalp the freebies their relatives in New York had gotten.

These "free" tickets are popping up on Ebay and have asking prices from 99 cents up to $1500 each. Only in America, baby.

Ebay has been contacted by the city of New York and has tried to get these auctions removed.
