Report: Billy Corgan thinks John Mayer is destroying his career…

Leave a comment

Billy Corgan speaks out saying that he thinks, “John Mayer is destroying his own career”. Just by saying a bunch of stupid shit in Playboy, creating a public backlash and being a “celebrity” isntead of an actual “musician”, is what’s killing his career. Billy has nothing negative against John Mayer ’cause Billy says John is very talented musically, he says it’s hard to watch a talented musician burn their career to the ground. Billy says he knows from his own experience as he almost came close to burning the Smashing Pumpkins to the ground at one point.

More on it here:

I’m siding with Billy as always. He brings up a valid point. Honestly though, I think Billy is just trying to defend his friend, Jessica Simpson. Be honest, Billy, you’re totally in love with that woman. He just haven’t admitted to it in public yet.

Report: Tarantino wants to go romantic…

Leave a comment

Look like Quentin Tarantino is finally tired of doing action comedy “Pulp Fiction” like movies and wants to try something different for a change. Tarantino revealed he wants to try writing and directing, a romantic comedy. He plans to work on that next now that he’s done with, “Inglourious Basterds”.

Glad Tarantino is making a full time comeback to Hollywood. Before “Inglourious Basterds”, he took a hiatus from Hollywood to concentrate writing the script for that film. Now that he’s finally back, expect a lot more Quentin Tarantino movies up ahead.

Since he’s doing a romantic comedy, expect a lot of foot fetish scenes. Also, expect a role for Uma Thurman too. Maybe John Travolta will get in on this film ’cause Travolta has a lot of comedy film experience. John Travolta and Uma Thurman to team up again? Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what Tarantino is going for. Tarantino is a pretty sexual guy when it comes to writing his scripts. Maybe he’ll have female nudity this time around. Definitely a lot of swearing and cussing like every Tarantino film has.

I think he’s going for a fanbase for the ladies. A Tarantino chick flick this time? Sounds like he needs John Travolta for this one. If John Travolta agrees to return to acting again, I’d like to see him reteam wtih Tarantino.

Leave a comment

The Twilight Saga “Eclipse”, the third of the series, teaser trailer has hit the web this morning. They seem to keep getting better as they go along. “Eclipse” looks like a good one to me and looking forward to it. Look like Victoria, the red headed vampire girl, is the main villain in this flick while Edward and Jacob feud against each other over Bella. I will be seeing this.

Happy 70th Chuck Norris!!!

Leave a comment

So former action movie star and former TV star, Chuck Norris, just turned 70. I didn’t even realize he was that old. Does anybody out there have a recent pic of him? I can never find one online.  I’ve never seen a recent pic, I don’t think anybody has. He’s probably this good of avoiding the media taking pics of him if he’s scared of showing the world what he looks like at 70. He probaby has white hair now.

I grew up watching Chuck’s action movies. Some of my favorites: The Missing in Action trilogy, Firewalker, Forced Vengeance, Sidekicks, The Octagon, and sometimes I would watch his show, “Walker, Texas Ranger”.

Chuck seemed to have vanished from Hollywood and TV pretty quitely. Wonder what’s up? Did he retire for good? He even stopped doing those “Total Gym” fitness commercials as well. I don’t see him making a comeback to acting anytime soon. Like him or not, he is a very talented man, a good actor and a great athlete. I know he’s an easy target and people make fun of him, but you can not deny his greatness of what he does.

If Chuck got into a real fight with Jean Claude Van Damme or Sylvester Stallone, Chuck would probably beat both of their asses easily.

Cool Video: Corey Feldman on Larry King…

Leave a comment

Just saw this video of Corey Feldman on Larry King. Only reason he went on was so that he can tell people to stop making speculations that Haim died of drugs, ’cause it could be something else. Feldman looks pissed off and sad at the same time in this interview. I loved his honesty though. It was awesome when Feldman said, “I appreciated the people’s support of Haim’s death, but where were they before when Haim had nothing going on in his life?”. Which means that Feldman brought up an easy point that nobody cared for Corey Haim anymore before his death. Once a famous celebrity dies, then they are suddenly a popular person. Haim was very popular in the 80’s when he was an icon, but in the 90’s and 2000’s years, everybody forgot who Haim was. Now that’s he’s gone, he’s popular again. I agree with Mr. Feldman there. Damn, Mr. Feldman does look upset and nervous.

I think this was the first time I ever seen Mr. Feldman in a public TV interview in a long time.

Report: Christopher Nolan finally speaks on the new “Superman” project!!!

Leave a comment

Christopher Nolan has been pretty quiet ever since jumping aboard to mentor the new “Superman” movie for Warner Bros. Now Chris Nolan finally speaks out about the project to the L.A. Times. The story and plot to the next “Superman” movie is NOT being revealed and being kept under wraps for now, but Nolan and the writer, David Goyer, already have a great story planned out. David Goyer have been confirmed the writer for the next, “Superman” movie, but they shoot down rumours of Lex Luthor and Brainiac as the next villains. Who will be the next villain for Superman? Nobody knows yet. Lex Luthor will probably be involved in some way as he always is, but there will probably be more villains.

Nolan says, the next film will NOT be like Bryan Singer’s “Superman: Returns”, it’ll be their own take on it. Nolan says he knows the Superman character very well and knows the genre very well. Something tells me he’s been reading Superman and Batman comics for years ever since he was a child. Nolan the comic book expert he is, indeed. No wonder Warner Bros. wanted him to help!

Nolan says they will make the next Superman movie right and promises Hollywood they won’t be disappointed with this one.

Read the entire article here:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2010/03/christopher-nolan-takes-flight-with-superman-we-have-a-fantastic-story-1.html

Very cool. I’m so excited for the next Superman movie. For a villain they should really use a villain that hasn’t been used before in the earlier films. Brainiac is a good idea.

Other popular Superman comic book villains that hasn’t been used yet for a film: Doomsday, The Toyman, Parasite, Imperiex, Eradicator, Bloodsport, and Atomic Skull.

It will be interesting to see what villains Nolan and Goyer will pick. Lets hope it won’t be Luthor or General Zod.

Celebrity/musician deaths

RIP: Corey Haim 1971 – 2010

Leave a comment

Former child star, Corey Haim, who starred in films such as “The Lost Boys”, “License to Drive”, “Dream a Little Dream”, “Fast Getaway”, and more was found dead. It could be a possible drug overdose because the actor have struggled with drugs pretty much his whole life. He was also best friends with fellow actor, Corey Feldman. Corey Haim and Corey Feldman have been friends since their childhood.

Today is a sad day for Hollywood. I remember as a kid, I grew up watching Corey Haim’s films. I remember seeing “The Lost Boys” and “License to Drive” plenty of times. He was also in Stephen King’s “Silver Bullett” that I remember. He was a great comedy actor, he was also great in the horror genre. It’s no secret that Corey has always been a fan of the horror genre.

That sucks for Corey Feldman ’cause he must be really devastated and upset. This is what happens when you do drugs for most of your life, it’ll take you early. If you know of a loved one in your life that is struggling with drug addiction, do whatever you can to get them help.

Brock’s top 10 favorite celebrity twitter pages…

Leave a comment

So I’ve been in twitter for a while. The only reason I joined is just to read celebrity twitter pages just for entertainment and laughs. It is a fun site and kind of crazy.

Here is a list of my favorite celeb twitter pages that I find myself looking at almost all the time, in no particular order:

Brent Spiner – https://twitter.com/BrentSpiner (formerly known as Data from Star Trek TNG. He’s a very funny guy, he maybe kind of rude and crude to his followers but he’s hilarious. Here is one page I can’t keep my eyes off of, his page has non-stop laughs, check it out, he’s awesome.)

Kim Kardashian – http://twitter.com/kIMKARDASHIAN (I have always been a fan of Kimmy K. and always respected her. No, not because she’s a reality star and because she posed nude for Playboy once. I respect her ’cause she’s also a fitness trainer. A lot of people probably didn’t know she’s a fitness person. Look at her tweets for proof, always talking about going to the gym, even gives her followers fitness advice, etc. She’s way fuckin’ cool, in my book!)

Jenna Jameson – http://twitter.com/jennajameson (former adult porn star and now the wife of UFC star, Tito Ortiz. She makes her page entertaining and funny.)

Stone Cold Steve Austin – http://twitter.com/steveaustinBSR (who doesn’t like the Texas Rattlesnake? He is hosting next Monday’s RAW by the way, shall be a great episode!)

Michael McKean – http://twitter.com/MJMcKean (Most would know him as a member of the fictional rock band, Spinal Tap. I like his twitter page, very funny guy!)

Pee Wee Herman – http://twitter.com/PEEWEEHERMAN (the Great Pee Wee Herman. I’ve always loved this character. I even enjoyed his “Playhouse” shows. Call him a good guilty pleasure if you will.)

“Weird” Al Yankovic – http://twitter.com/ALyankovic (Al the man, his twitter site is very entertaining as always.)

Heyman Hustle or Paul Heyman – http://twitter.com/heymanhustle (Paul Heyman known as the former owner of ECW wrestling company and partner for Brock Lesnar. If you scroll down a bit, you can see he wrote to me after I asked him if he will ever host RAW someday. Yep, my first celebrity twitter response! They do read and reply to their followers!)

Meghan McCain – http://twitter.com/McCainBlogette – (This is the daughter of John McCain. I find her page quite addicting to look at it for some reason.)

Chris Jericho – http://twitter.com/IamJericho (I like how Jericho uses his twitter to be in character to his followers, entertaining stuff. Plus Jericho rules!)

Report: Phish to go 3D in April…they will hit the big screen in theaters, not the concert stage…

Leave a comment

With all these 3D movies coming out in theaters, now the music world is jumping the 3D movie bandwagon! Phish will be releasing their 3 day Halloween festival they played at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The movie, “Phish 3D” will be released in theaters. Not sure if it’s going to be played everywhere or in selected theaters, but if it’s shown in Albany, I’ll see it. The Phish 3D movie will be released sometime in April.

Oh man, seeing a Phish Halloween concert in 3D would be very trippy! Looking forward to it!

My fitness adventures so far…what I’m up to…

1 Comment

Yes, I’m still working out three times a week. Stopped going to the gym for a while but plan to go back when the nice weather returns this Spring so I can start riding my bike to the gym again. It’s been almost a year since I got into this fitness thing full time. It’s really working for me good. Noticing small results, a tiny little bit adding up as I go along, so I’m progressing. Totally changed my eating habits and eating right. Instead of drinking soda all the time, I would now only drink either regular water or seltzer water. Been eating lots of vegetables and fruits. protein. I would only eat cheat snacks on the weekends now.

Since I haven’t been going to the gym lately, I have been doing a lot of home workouts since I do have a dumb bell collection and a stability ball, and such. My dream is to try and get in the best shape as I possibly can. It doesn’t have to be a Mr. Olympian Strongman as I always say, I’m not going for that look. I do want the ripped body and am going for it. A while back when I was going to the local gym, I experimented with benching. To be honest, I don’t really like benching that much as I will only do that once in a while, not too much. I find pushups and dumbbell flies or dumbbell presses to be better than benching. I workout every body part, yes, even the traps, thighs and glutes (or the butt if you want to call it that).

There are many reasons why I want this. One is I want to prove people that I can be physical. Another is I don’t like having a small look and want to look bigger, and get stronger. Another is to get healthy and feel great. Maybe even attract more women, etc. Lots of reasons. Just to simply look good. Bodybuilding and fitness is a lot of fun.
