TARGET! TARGET!

It's being confirmed even further for consumers in the United States that Wal Mart is an evil, hungry corporation whose only getting greedier. Please support Target, a business that's always played fair and, in classic schoolyard fashion, is simply better. (Poor Canadians need Target! They have no real other option that competes directly with Wal Mart).

Wonderland

This may be old news to some of you but I've never heard this before; Tim Burton is going to do a huge live-action remake of Alice in Wonderland for Disney?! This sounds fantastic! I can't wait! The film, which will be filmed across the pond in Plymouth, will be released in 2010 in 3D! and will feature Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter!

Take a deep breath and then say that all again to yourself.

A big-buget, live action, Tim Burton remake of Alice in Wonderland, for Disney, in 3D with Johhny Depp as the Mad Hatter.

In Defense of Joan Rivers

Alright so Joan Rivers is getting some bad press because of a private function she did that had something to do the those silly Girl Scouts. And that fugtard Perez is totally calling her out for something he doesn't understand.
It's not Joan Rivers fault for saying what she said, which wasn't bad at all, it sounded exactly like every typical Joan Rivers live stand-up sounds like. They said she used a lot of 'F' words and called women 'whores'; alright, as always! They also claim she said that Paris Hilton never get a badge for wearing panties... hilarious!
This is all classic Joan Rivers, and a very funny joke for the Girls Scouts!

Listen, if you as a private event are going to hire a comedian to perform, speak or attend it is your responsibility to do your research and make sure you know the style of humor and content that paticular comedian usually performs. Often times comedians don't know who they're performing for at a private gig, because they do so many all over the country, until they show up. And even then, if you haven't made any pre-specifics about content than you should be prepared for anything. Joan Rivers, that's what she does, she says fuck, trashes celebrities, calls other women bitches and whores and get plastic surgery. That is all this women has ever done now for two decades, so if you're surprised when you get this upon hiring her than you are a fucking dumb-ass who never got a badge for having common sense.

Riddle Me This, Penguin?

So as expected, now that The Dark Knight has already taken in about $440 million dollars thus far, the third film in the Nolan Batman fanchise is being set up to bat and the villians this time around appear to be The Riddler and The Penguin! And the studio is already feeling actors for the roles; rght now, reports are that Johnny Depp is the first choice for Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman for Penguin.
I think these are genius choices and really excite me, however what the hell is going on with this Boys Club bullshit?! Where are all the women; I love this darker, raw reinvention of the Caped Crusader but there needs to be a major injection of legitimite pussy. Not the wallflower currently chasing Bruce Wayne all over Gotham, but the lunatics in some form of tights leading Batman all over the city. Where the fuck is Catwoman?!

NOT Impressed!

What. The. Hell. Is. This?!

Like, seriously is this some kind of freaking joke?! The, believe it or not, official music video for Ali Lohan's new single All the Way Around, which you've already heard and seen being recorded on Living Lohan if you shamelessly watched every episode like I did (hey, I actually found them all extremely likeable). But the offical music video is just a re-editing of footage from the reality series. Nothing is original; it's not even appropriate... was there NO money for a freaking video? I mean, this song is actually really good and catchy and could totally earn some traction on radio, especially if people don't know who it is at first.

But this, this is embarassing and unacceptable...
One of the worst music videos I've, honestly, ever seen.

Bigots For My Horses

I have always loathed and despised the Evil, seething pile of mentally retarded digust that is Toby Keith. And now everyone may (hopefully) be beginning to realize that we as a society and media can no longer tolerate aiding in the self-promotion of this redneck campaign of hate and bigotry disguised as country music, something that I love truly and dearly. I'm may be liberal in some peoples eyes, especially because I'm gay, but I was born is rural Nova Scotia where the atmosphere is country and so are all the radio stations, and I was raised outside Dallas so you get the jist. Country music has been a way of life for me and it, unlike any other genre of music, can evoke the deepest of raw emotions within me from the first few bars of a song. But this man does not make country music, this make makes hate.
Do we remember at all the absurdity and basic non-exsistence of this animal's intellect? He put a photoshopped picture of Natalie Maines hugging Osama bin Laden on the back of the stage during his concerts; that's the most distasteful and socially irresponsible thing I've ever heard.
This man has no brain.

And now, that country song everybody sings along to, especially little children, is being revealed as one that boastfully proclaims tales of lynching throughout the generations of his redneck family.

GAG ME! AND READ THIS! AND STOP SUPPORTING THIS ANIMAL'S "ART"!

Screen legend and Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor has apparently been placed on life support after suffering congetive heart failure. Last week she as diagnosed with pnemonia and has reportedly slipped downhill since.

Holy Shit!

THIS IS UNREAL

Flow As Usual

Ludacris just dropped a new politically charged track in support of Obama. It's pretty bad ass.

44 Pounds O' Pussy

So basically somebody found a 44-pound cat! And it was so big that it had to go into temporary foster care because there weren't any cages big enough for her at the shelter.

Below is some stock footage CNN took of the cat with it's foster family.

Black(?) Princess

So Disney has released a teaser trailer for their highly-anticipated (well, by me at least) new animated film, The Princess and the Frog. It will mark a return to classic animation for the studio and will also be the first time a lead Princess has been African-American; and it takes place in New Orleans!

However, my complaint is... she doesn't look black; if I had not known I wouldn't have even considered she was black! She just looks like a brunette to me.



Now, this may be because black advocacy groups complained the original concepts were racist. The film had to ditch its original title, "The Frog Princess" and the Princess herself had to lose her original name of "Maddy" for "Tiana" (so she's a Korean porn star now?). And look at an original concept drawing for "Tiana".

I think she's been stripped of her African identity and she just looks like a Caucasian-ized version of a black girl.

I'mma still see it, though.

Judge Judy: "Peace the Fuck Out!"

After Todd got home from work last night I went into a bubble- no internet, no news, no television so I missed quite a bit and am playing catch up but I thought I'd kick this off with the earthquake in California (I apologize to all my Cali peeps who shot me off frantic or excited e-mails yesterday; to which I acted less than impressed... for some reason, if you were able to text me, I just assumed the quake wasn't that big... but apparently it was.)

Here's Judge Judy, taping an episode yesterday during the quake; it's not that dramatic.

Oh, and Whoopi just revealed on The View that she's fucked around 50+ guys; and much to Sherri's horror Whoopi would honestly tell her man how many other men there'd been if they asked... I guess the Christian thinks it'd be better to lie.

Not So Scrabulous!

The creators of a Scrabble knockoff responsible for countless hours at the online hangout Facebook suspended their word game Tuesday after being hit with a lawsuit, disappointing fans who logged on expecting to make their next moves.

Hasbro Inc., the company that owns the North American rights to the word game, last week sued the brothers in Calcutta, India, who created the Scrabulous program. Separately, Hasbro asked Facebook to block the program, something the site resisted despite risks of losing immunity protection from copyright lawsuits.

I Put the Wade in Roe vs. Wade, Baby

Legendary Dallas district attorney Henry Wade, (yes, the Wade in the legendary Roe vs. Wade case) has passed and his unprecedented 36 year rein in Dallas left behind one of the most impressive conviction rates in United States history.

However, things are beginning to unravel and more and more of his past convictions are being overturned thanks to DNA evidence; the somewhat questionable nature of Wade's investigations and cases are also coming under some fire.

Affluent Students Get Affluent Funding

Community leaders on Monday called on students from poorer parts of Chicago to protest inequalities in school funding by skipping the first day of classes.

State Sen. James Meeks wants students to spend Sept. 2 trying to enroll in a suburban school district that spends much more per student than Chicago Public Schools does. Critics of the planned protest say it will send the wrong message to children and undermine campaigns to get as many students as possible to attend the first day of classes in the nation's third-largest school district.

Protest organizers, though, say their message about unequal funding trumps any on attendance.

"Today we are back to two-tiered schools — white and affluent on one side, and black, brown and poor on the other," said Meeks, who also is a minister on the city's South Side. "That's an injustice and it's immoral."

Attention Rumor Mill

Why is anyone listening to the rumor that Oprah Winfreyand Tyler Perry are secretly having an affair? Everyone's saying it's ludacris because why would Oprah be having an affair with Perry? Well, I'll say this once but hear it clearly because I can't believe nobody has or is... but those rumors are ludacris because Tyler Perry is a big ol' homosexual; he may not be out, he may not even acknowledge his own sexuality and is in total denial, but I swear, Tyler Perry is gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.

Trust me.

Kitchen Nightmare!

My unofficial, second husband Gordon Ramsay was injured in Iceland while filming a television show called The F Word. Gordon reportedly fell 86 meters off a cliff and landed in freezing water. Gordon then struggled to get out because his waterproof gear was weighing him down. Finally he escapes thanks to in part to his crew throwing him a rope and finally kicking off his boots, although his head had gone numb by then.

That God he's alright; I would have lost if he died!

UPDATE: Tenn. Shooting

"The shotgun-wielding suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church was motivated by a hatred of 'the liberal movement,' and he planned to shoot until police shot him, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said this morning. Jim D. Adkisson, 58, of Powell wrote a four-page letter in which he stated his 'hatred of the liberal movement,' Owen said. 'Liberals in general, as well as gays.' Adkisson said he also was frustrated about not being able to obtain a job, Owen said.The letter, recovered from Adkisson’s black 2004 Ford Escape, which was parked in the church’s parking lot at 2931 Kingston Pike, indicates he had been planning the shooting for about a week."

Adkisson did not plan to leave the church alive, police said: "Officers recovered 76 shells for a 12-gauge, semiautomatic shotgun inside the church. Among those shells were three spent rounds. He had carried the shotgun inside the church in a guitar case, Owen said. 'He certainly intended to take a lot of casualties,' the chief said. Adkisson is accused of killing two people and injuring seven others. He is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Greg McKendry, 60. Also killed in the shooting was Linda Kraeger, 61, who was visiting the church from Westside Unitarian Universalist Church."

Minimal Southern Charm

A gunmen entered a Tennessee church this past weekend and opened fire on the congregation, in the middle of watching the children perform Annie. The shooting resulted in 2 deaths and 7 injuries.

The church was an openly tolerate church welcoming members of the LGBT community, allowing a gay men's choir to rehearse there and held tolerant meetings for youth.

Below is a report by the Associated Press.

Another, low quality teaser trailer from Comic Con; this one is for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine!

Kathy Griffin Live!

So I totally forgot that Kathy Griffin was to host Larry King Live on the 25th; luckily somebody else loves her as much as I do and now you and I can watch it together, for the first time, right now!

And, as always, watch it before 'they' delete it!

Ladies

As a playwright my forte has always been female characters; my pieces are almost, always compromised of an all, or almost entirely, female ensemble cast. I think women are just far more interesting and dynamic as actors, and you can subtly go places of a deeper certain emotional depth you never could with a man. So whenever I see other work centered around a female ensemble I have to promote it, since there are so few made by Hollywood.

Patricia Clarkson, my favorite actress and one of, the many, most underused actresses; Felicity Huffman, an artist that commands your attention with every role and this little cutie whose probably got Dakota Fanning counting sheep.

Friday, the 13th 2.0

So basically the Comic Con in San Diego was the most amazing experience this year; I've been delighting in tid bits, clips, info, footage, posters and more from the convention for days now and my partner and I have decided that we're not going to miss another convention; I'm tryin my hardest to get there next year myself!

Here's a "okay" quality look at the teaser trailer for the new Friday, the 13th franchise reinvention that comes out next year; it premiered at the convention. Despite the poor quality I felt this was too big, too titilating a tease to omit.

Watch it before it gets taken down.

Who Are You?

We know Shannen went to the Sheriff's Department in Lost Hills (Malibu) to complain about paparazzi following her. The cops who talked to her were baffled ... because they had no idea who she was.

The deputy at the front desk confessed he had no idea who she was. Shannen retorted that she was on TV. The deputy, in a scene reminiscent of "Take the Money and Run," began asking other around him if they knew who she was, but none did.

We're told Shannen then left in a huff.

Homophobia in the Eye of the Beholder

So this new Snickers AD has just been pulled after outrage that it is homophobic, and on top of that people are saying it also promotes and encourages homophobic violence.

Um, yeah, I guess. But I also feel you yourself have to be homophobic in order to see this AD as homophobic; it's only homophobic with the assumption that the male 'speed walker' is gay, merely because he's speed-walking and gyrating his hips a little while doing so. So I supposed if gay men were the only ones who shook their hips and power-walked this would quite obviously be homophobic!
Mr. T doesn't call him a fag or make any direct reference to his sexuality; just that real men don't power walk.

Who sees a gay speed walker and assumes they have to be gay? I guess the real homophobia is in the eye of the beholder.

We Will Always Love You (Unless Your Record Sucks)

So a song, or a demo, from the recording sessions for Whitney Houston's highly anticipated new record has leaked onto the internet.
The track, "Like I Never Left" is a mid-tempo, urban radio-ready song featuing a not-as-annoying-as-usual (but-still-annoying, as always) Akon. However the song is utterly dispossable and extremely, extremely under par for what the world expects of a new Whitney Houston record. And while the theme and lyrical content are fun and fitting this sounds like a left-over from Nicole Sherzinger's shelved record, and even though it wouldn't be a very interesting song for her either, at least it would match her personality better.

Whitney, nonetheless, sounds on point, sharp and rested and it's still an exciting, titilating preview of what's to come, and that's BRAND NEW WHITNEY HOUSTON MUSIC! That alone, no matter what it sounds like, could be good enough after all!

Listen before it gets deleted (even though it was probabley purposely leaked).

Shia LaBeouf, I am sad to report, is big fucking jackass. This morning he was busted for DUI (again!) amd rushed to the hospital. The crash happened around 3:00AM on Sunday in Hollywood; he even underwent surgery for damage done to his hand! He, his passanger and the driver of the other vehicle were all apparently injured, although I am unaware of the severity.

Despite the obvious question; "Why the hell would you get behind the wheel intoxicated?!" the better question, to me at least, is "Who the hell gets into the passenger seat of a car that they know someone has been drinking is driving; especially somebody already convicted of a DUI?!"

Why the hell are all these celebrity twenty-somethings getting behind the wheels of a cars? You're rich! Famous! And can afford to have discreet, personal driver... you don't even have to wait for a fucking cab! So why are you doing it?! (Well, actually I have a very complex, psychologically rooted philosophy as to why I think this current generation of teens to twenty-somethings, celebrity or otherwise, are all displaying such a sense of reckless abdonment in their self-destructive choices and behaviour, but I'm holding onto that for now; keep your eyes peeled!).

Drink under the influence once, shame on you; twice, fuck you; three times, go to prison!
