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.

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.
