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.
