So Topanga got a new gig, hosting a rip-off of E!'s The Soup, called The Dish. Below are two clips and... she actually kicks major ass at this gig! Why hasn't anyone hired her since BMW until now?

The YouTube videos have begun to trickle in as the show ended just a short time ago. There won't last for long so I won't bother to post many, but here's the first video I could find of Britney Spears special appearance. It's so-so quality, but the best there is for now; and watch it all, because the best part is in the last 15 seconds of the video.

Clue: The Bret Eastion Ellis Special Edition
Those motherfuckers! Wow! I have a lot of agression coming across the keyboard today, but... those motherfuckers! Do you know what Hasbro has done?! They've changed Clue! That's right, not redesigned it, put it in a pretty anniversary edition box, or created yet another alternate version. NO! They've completely changed the fucking game; they've updated, so they say, for today's faster-paced, tabloid culture. The original game as we know it will cease when the new version starts hitting shelves this Fall.The character's indentifying last names remain the same but now they go by Kasandra Scarlet, an actress more notable for being on tabloid covers than in movies, or Victor Plum, a young billionaire-video game designer. They're all young and sexy and so is the mansion with a spa, movie theatre room and a fucking guest house!
Oh really?! And where do Audrina and Lauren sleep when they come over to visit?!
But worst of all they've done gone n' fucked with our weapons!! The choices have expanded from 6 to 9 (because god only knows, in today's world we need more choices!!) and still include the candlestick, rope and knife but the lead pipe, revolver and wrench are complete history! New weapons include a dumbell and a trophy?! What about a bottle of Vicadin or a syringe of Botox?! A cocaine residue covered razor blade, anyone?
Now Jakob Green, an "...African-American with all the ins" killed Mr. Boddy in the Guest House with the Trophy?!
Die-harders may remember that this has been attempted once before with Clue: The Great Museum Caper, back in the early 1990's. That game reolved around one of the character's stealing Mr. Boddy's famous artwork from his three-dimensial game board gallery. It was a more intellectual, far superior sequel that was unfortunately discontinued, but the original version, at no time, had been taken off the market. How can they do this? Won't this upset people?
I mean, what's this world coming too?! You can't just change something that's that classic! And now the film rights to Clue, as I may have mentioned in a previous blog, are owned by whichever studio released Transformers (I can't recall at this moment) in a deal which the studio acquired rights to a handful of Hasbro board games like Candy Land and Battleship. If a newClue movie gets made before I get a chance to remake it myself, and if it's based in any way on this miserable, Gossip Girl-esque bullshit I'll burn Hasbro to the ground. That's a threat.
Thank you very much.

Iconic (and apparently still alive) rockers AC/DC have announced plans to released their first new record in almost 8 years (I think their last record was Stiff Upper Lip, right?). It was recorded at Warehouse here in Vancouver. The album, entitled Black Ice (bad ass) will only be sold at right-wing, corporate whore establishments such as Wal Mart and Sam's Club. So, unfortunately, if you have any sense of morally decency you can't buy it, 'cause nobody should step foot in a Wal Mart.(TARGET! TARGET!)
Anyway, here's the tracklisting...

I've heard about this book and knew this movie was coming out for quite some time however I was completely unware of it's content, plot or anyone else that was in it other than Jennifer Hudson. I have to tell you, watching this trailer I got goosebumps, I cried, I laughed and I smiled. All in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
THIS MOVIE LOOKS SO AMAZING
They don't make movies like this anymore, they really don't. The Now and Then's, the Stand By You's, the Pleasentville's, the Corrina, Corrina's.

A celebrity wedding, exclusive to People magazine. Yes, we've definently seen that before. But not a gay one. Does anyone else think this is a big deal? Yes, it was a long time coming and it's not like the right to marry but an openly gay, celebrity couple's wedding photos are on the cover of People magazine. Think back to 10 years ago... look ahead to 2018. I'm excited.

Weeding the Garden
The Goddess of Acting that is Mary-Louise Parker, best known these days for her Golden Globe winning performance of Nancy Botwin on Showtime's used-to-be-amazing Weeds is trading in the bong for the stage. Parker is starring in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Hedda Gabler, opening January 25th at the American Airlines Theatre. As always, I am sure she'll take this material and soar with it (which she still manages to do with the shitty material Jenji Kohan has been farting out this season on Weeds).
Free Billy!
A lost 1 to 2 month old humpback whale calf was discovered trying to suckle from a yacht in Sydney on Sunday, which it would not leave. The yacht was towed out into the ocean and the calf finally released itself from the yacht but has since returned.The prognosis is grim, as this calf cannot survive without it's mother's (which he thought was the yacht) milk for very long. Artifical feeding is impossible and researchers say it's a matter of days, not weeks, until the calf dies.
"If a lactating female with a calf goes past and this calf approaches that animal it may accept it, but ... it's a very slim chance," New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service spokesman John Dengate said.

Blow Me, John
While addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention Barack Obama responded to that blubbering, geriatric McCain challenging him to stop questioning his "character and patriotism".
"These are the judgments I've made and the policies that we have to debate, because we do have differences in this election," Obama said. "One of the things that we have to change in this country is the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism. I have never suggested that Sen. McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. I have not suggested it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national interest. Now, it's time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same.
"Let me be clear: I will let no one question my love of this country," Obama said to applause.
But Obama, McCain doesn't have an actual case; he's got absolutely nothing to win the White House with, except those few, die-hard Republicans from my parents and Grandparents generations which with any luck at all will be dead soon. Oh that and his constant criticism that Obama is just too inexperienced (says the old fart that doesn't even know how to work a fucking computer; it's the 21st century and some people want a President, that in any other profession would be or would've already retired, who doesn't even know how to use a computer, the fundamental of all world media and communication in today's day and age... are you serious?); that Obama doesn't have enough experience. Well, McCain has the mother fucking experience and yet Washington still sucks major donkey balls. Why would we elect McCain; how has McCain proven in any capacity that he's earned the right to be President of the United States and that he's more qualified than Obama? Just because he's still alive and didn't shoot anyone on a hunting trip? McCain has had his time, he's already been in politics for years and look where we are now?
McCain had his fucking chance to do anything worth our fucking time.
I find myself very angry today; if you're a Republican, you better have a damn good case as to why you are, because today I'm in a eating-ignorant-rednecks mood.

DRUGS FOR MY EARS
I have been in love with Crystal Waters since I was a little boy. I still remember my Mom driving me to buy Storyteller on cassette from the record store in town, and listening to it over and over and over and over on my Sony Walkman.
How pleased am I to learn she's got another summer single (why won't anyone sign this chick; her last full studio albm, simply titled Crystal Waters was one of the best dance records ever released!
Listen to Dancefloor below; the rap is off the fucking hook!
I sip on my Petron and what if she don't like it, she can take her ass on home

Best. City. Ever.
Get ready to saddle up once again to the Southfork ranch! The cast of the hit prime-time drama, Dallas will reunite on Nov. 8 at the family homestead for the 30th anniversary of the show.
So far three of the show's original cast, Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, have all agreed to attend the event.
The show is best known for starting the cliffhanger trends in soap with the "Who shot J.R.?" storyline that continued throughout the 1979-1980 season which happened to net a whopping 90 million viewers turning in for the answer.
Dallas revolved around the trials and tribulations of the Ewing family, a wealthy Texas family in the oil and cattle-ranching businesses.
The reunion at the ranch in suburban Parker, north of Dallas, is open to the public. Tickets go on sale Aug. 22 and will cost between $100 and $1,000. The event will include fireworks, a country music concert, a question-and-answer session with the cast and tours of the mansion.
What Happened?
Warner Bros. just annouced that they've pushed back the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which reports had previously stated was just about to be finished editing and showen to executives, from November 18th to JULY 17. 2009! That's a few weeks shy of a whole other year!

Now, this!
Fast-forward to the 3.20 mark; "Nuh uh, he ain't hurtin' nobody!"
If it had been me, I would've freaked out when I got offstage that it took someone like 2 full minutes to even try and get him offstage! Solange rocks; I am a diva.

Obama Hits Back
Nice! Nice! Finally, a little teeth from the man. In response to John McCain's election campaign ads that tried to paint Obama as a Britney Spears or a Paris Hilton (the later of whom got back with her own hilarious video jesting McCain) Obama's camp has released a video painting the same colors on McCain and quite easily doing so. His ads merely showed clips of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to imply he was only like them and was in bed with the media. Obama's ad actually shows McCain over and over and over again in bed with them!
Obama's just, like, better. Duh.

More News From Lunar Park!
This may be old news to some of you but I just discoverd the details surrounding Bret Easton Ellis' next book. Entitled Imperial Bedrooms, this new novel, his seventh, will be a sequel to my favorite Less Than Zero, whose characters are all now reaching middle-age. The title is also borrowed from a Costello song, such as the original. The publisher says the book is expected in 2010.

If you think a computer game entitled Escape From Rehab! that features a crazed Amy Winehouse, armed solely with a crack pipe in hand, trying to defeat the likes of Batman and The Incredible Hulk in order to escape from a rehab facility in order to then free her husband from prison (while complaining that she hasn't taken a crap in 2 weeks) is in poor taste the I would strongly recommend that you do not click here. Now, what if I tell you the game is totally free? I thought so. Click here too!

Yet another film adaptation of a Bret Eastion Ellis novel, the greatest writer of my generation (or is her considered the generation previous to me?). Irregardless, it looks bad. And they've removed all the supernatural elements from the film, such as the vampires and zombies. And somebody is still paying Winnona Ryder to work, which amazes me. And why is Kim Basinger so underused?!
We'll see... by the look of this trailer the film looks more self-indulgent and egotistical than Bill O'Reilly's reflection in a mirror.

Going Down (Hopefully)
These money hungry, people of Evil have been using the false word of God and manipulating the people of Texas for years. They're disgusting creatures that use religion as a right to notoriety, celebrity and wealth. If what they allegedly believe in were even true, they would be shining examples of everything that is wrong with the world. I hope this bitch gets screwed for every dime she's stolen from millions of middle or lower class that have handed her their money, foolishly thinking this would somehow bring them closer to God.
HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- She's the wife of a renowned evangelical pastor and one of the leaders of a Houston megachurch, but Victoria Osteen is being accused of behavior that wasn't very Christian.
Opening arguments were set for Thursday in a lawsuit that accuses Victoria Osteen of assaulting Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown before the start of a 2005 flight from Houston to Vail, Colorado.
The lawyer for Victoria Osteen called the lawsuit silly and denied that her client assaulted Brown. Brown's attorney, Reginald McKamie, said he hopes the trial will show "that celebrity status doesn't take precedence."
Victoria Osteen is co-pastor at Lakewood Church, where her husband, Joel Osteen, preaches and where about 42,000 people flock each week. Joel Osteen's weekly television address is broadcast nationally and internationally.
Brown alleges Victoria Osteen threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her in the left breast during an outburst over a stain on her first-class seat. The Federal Aviation Administration fined Victoria Osteen $3,000 for interfering with a crew member.
Victoria Osteen "clearly was angry on this flight," McKamie said.
Brown wants an apology and punitive damages amounting to 10 percent of Victoria Osteen's net worth as part of her suit.
A 12-person jury was seated Wednesday after lawyers spent several hours questioning a pool of 130 people. The questioning touched on religious beliefs, celebrity and the public's perception of preachers and televangelists.
Many of those in the jury pool said they had been to Lakewood Church and acknowledged holding the Osteens in high regard and being star-struck by them.
But other potential jurors said they didn't like preachers or televangelists and that ministers can lie.
Joel Osteen was at his wife's side Wednesday in court. McKamie said he expected to call the couple as witnesses.
According to an FAA report, Victoria Osteen pushed and elbowed Brown in an attempt to get to the plane's cockpit after two other attendants had not cleaned a liquid on her armrest.
Brown's suit says the flight attendants asked to have Victoria Osteen removed from the plane. Victoria Osteen's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, says his client and her family left voluntarily. The incident delayed the flight about 2½ hours.
Hardin asked that the FAA report's findings not be allowed in the trial, saying the agency's investigation was incomplete. State District Judge Patricia Hancock said she would make a decision later.
Brown had previously said she was attacked in another incident by an airport employee, according to a deposition she gave in the case.
According to court documents, Brown says that she suffers from anxiety and hemorrhoids because of the incident involving Victoria Osteen and said her faith was affected. She is also suing Victoria Osteen for medical expenses for counseling.

I'm a Barbie Girl
So apparently something is going on with Aqua, the Danish-Norwegian pop-dance group that sky-rocketed to fame around the globe with their hit "Barbie Girl". Well apparently they reunited, of sorts, last year and announced they were releasing a new album and going on tour. This was announced last October and now this new song, being performed live somewhere, was surfaced. It's fun to see new material, but I've been unable to unearth any new information regarding this reunion and this new album.
Here's the track, Back in the '80s (Those Were The Days)

Already?!
The Sex and the City film is already being released on DVD, which comes as a total shock to me. I really thought they would've held off on this a little longer and waited to release it closer to the Christmas shopping season, as this is clearly going to sell like hot cakes this Christmas. A lot of people that love the show own the entire series on DVD; before the edited cable version many people who didn't have HBO only saw and knew the show through the DVD's which were passed around offices and college dorms like Pokemon cards at a pre-school playground. So I feel this is going to be the ultimate stocking stuffer this year for women and gay men as I assume everyone that owns the series on DVD, regardless of how much they liked the movie, will still want the DVD to complete their collections.
I'm not crazy about the case but I'm even less crazy about the lack of special features! But they're probabley waiting for the Deluxe Edition which will likely be released within the next year. HBO loves our money! They might as well split the movie as two and release two DVD's, since we know how much they love to do that!

Despite the fact that it didn't garner very positive reviews nor did it manage to pull in that good of ratings (how the fuck does Denise Richards pull in higher ratings than Pamela fucking Anderson?!) I still thought that the premiere of Pam's reality show was the most innovative and well-produced, non-competitive reality series I've seen in a couple years. Everything from the style, to the music, to the superb editing, to the unique shooting style... I loved everything about it and am excited for more.

It's almost the weekend, and so I thought I'd give us all a little kick start! Here's a song to boogie down to today at work in your cubicle, on your iPod on the bus, in the car on the way home or tonight in your living room.
It's former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell; some of you may remember a song from back, back, back in the day... 100% Pure Love by Crystal Waters. Well, Geri covered and it was supposed to be the first single of her last solo record, Passion, which was not released in North America. The single was eventually scrapped for another and the track didn't even end up on the CD.
But here it is for you; now shake your ass! It's almost FRIDAY!

Betty White Alert!
Betty White and the rest of the "Golden Girls" are the subject of tabloid headlines implying that they disrespected their late co-star Estelle Getty by not attending her funeral.
ET was exclusively behind the scenes of "Million Dollar Password" with Betty to get the straight scoop.
"We were with Estelle when it mattered," Betty tells ET. "I didn't go to her funeral and Paul, her wonderful caretaker, knew I wasn't going to her funeral."
Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at her Hollywood home on July 22.
While it is true that neither Betty, nor Rue McClanahan, nor Bea Arthur attended the private memorial service, Betty says that Estelle would be mad at the tabloid reports.
"Funerals are about [journalism] … who was there and who wasn't? That's not about Estelle," Betty says. "We adored her. To tell you the truth, her passing is tough on us, but it's a blessing for her. She's been so ill for so long, she's in a better place now, wherever she is."

Preach It!
Here is a clip of the last moments of Kanye West's show at Madison Square Garden on August 5th. Among other things, Kanye does something that I've been yearning for someone in hip-hop to be man enough to do, speak out in defense of the gay community. It's not totally easy to hear what he's saying, but the jist is below... roughly translated by another blogger.
"Open your fucking minds. Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say 'fag' right in front of a gay dude's face and act like that's ok. That shit is disrespectful. Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supposed to stay ten feet away. It should be time to break out of the instuitions that I was sayin', the stereotypes, or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don't believe in what I believe in, acceptin' people for who they are...they're very talented and if they do something special in the world and they're discriminated. I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life..."
Got Stork?
This photo released by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries shows a jabiru stork, with its blocky, slightly upturned black beak, among a flock of wood storks, egrets and ibis near Maringouin, La. on July 31, 2008. The jabiru, abundant in South America but rare farther north, was spotted in Louisiana, one of fewer than a dozen sightings of the bird in the U.S. The other birds are roseate spoonbills, great egrets and a great blue heron.
