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."
