Report: Billy Corgan finally squashes rumours of him dating Jessica Simpson, also talks wrestling, music and writing a book…

8 Comments

Billy Corgan, has been pretty quiet about the rumours of him dating pop star Jessica Simpson all over the web for a long while. Billy finally decides to speak out about it, squashing the dating rumours, saying they are just good friends, and that’s it. Jessica went to Billy for help on recording guitar parts for a TV show that Jessica is going to star in. Since then, Billy and Jessica developed a friendship.

Billy also talks about being a massive wrestling fan like myself, also talks music and writing a new book.

The question you have to ask is, when will Billy ever get himself a girlfriend and get himself married?

My answer is, he doesn’t have to if he doesn’t want to. In my eyes, you don’t really need a lover in your life to make your life a good one. You can be single for most of your life and still be a happy person. As long as you have music and other interests you like to do for a passion, that’s all that should matter to you. A lover will happen to you when the time comes. Whenever you think you’re ready to settle down. If music is all you want to do, that’s great.

Being with a lover will take your time away from the things you love to do as you have to rely on your partner all the time and Billy doesn’t want that. It’s seems that he wants his life to be as musical as possible. You don’t need to rush to get yourself a lover, and I am in the same boat as Billy. I’m not rushing for things as I’m happy being single currently. Stay single for as long as you want. Those that are desperate to get a lover and get married “early” are rushing things, in my opinion. You don’t need a lover by your side all the time to make yourself a happy person. I’m not that desperate about “love” and “relationships” as I’m just happy playing my guitar, working out, playing video games and watching movies or things like that.

Billy is the man, kudos!

Report: Fantasia afraid of threatening fan mail…

Leave a comment

If you put yourself out as a public figure on the web or make yourself a celebrity in the entertainment business, you will get a mixture of love and hate by fans. That’s the way things are these days. I think Fantasia doesn’t have the thick skin enough to deal with this one. If you want to make yourself a public figure, you got to have a thick skin to deal with hate by the public. Ignoring it and not giving a shit what people think about you is the best way to go profesionally. Being defensive over things such as this goes to show how selfish and shady she really is, it shows that she thinks that she is important to herself.

As a musician, I received quite a bit of online hate myself. I learned over the years to not respond to it and not defend yourself. Just simply shrug it all off and be way above the haters. That’s the best thing to do if you want to play music and get your stuff out there.

I don’t think anything dangerous and nothing will harm, Fantasia over that threatening hate mail. Haters call musicians they don’t like, to go “die” all the time. Just don’t take it seriously like Fantasia did. I don’t see the guy that wrote that letter to her being a creep that is obsessed with celebrities, he’s just a guy that does what all the other haters online do, write negative things to famous musicians. I’m not defending him, but he do no wrong. This is part of the game with the music business and Fantasia still has a lot to learn.

Report: Ed Harris to star in “Big Red” with WWE star Randy Orton…

Leave a comment

WWE Films is doing a family film titled, “Big Red” which will star Ed Harris and Amy Madigan in the lead. With WWE being in charge of this film, of course, there will be a WWE superstar involved and that is Randy Orton. Ed Harris will play an English school teacher and Randy will play the father of a bully who wants the teacher fired. So this means it’s Ed Harris vs. Randy Orton in a film?

Does this also mean that Ed Harris could be hired as a RAW guest host in the future? Possibly. Ed Harris being RAW guest host would be pretty sweet. Who knew that Ed was such a big wrestling fan? You just never know who is!!!

Report: Quentin Tarantino admits he won’t win Oscar for Best Director, and predicts Kathryn Bigelow will win it instead…

Leave a comment

Tarantino, speaks out his prediction for the Oscars. Tarantino says he has a very good chance in winning an Oscar for “Best Screenplay” or “Best Picture”, but he says he definitely won’t get one for “Best Director”. He thinks the “Best Director” award will go straight to Kathryn Bigelow, director of the war film, “The Hurt Locker”.

http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_quentin-tarantino-backs-kathryn-bigelow-for-oscar-win_1350233

I actually agree with Tarantino’s prediction but I have this bad feeling that James Cameron will wind up getting everything again like he did for “Titanic”. I know a lot of people don’t want to see it happening, but sad to say, it probably will be James Cameron’s year again.

I hope Kathryn wins for “Best Director” or even better “Best Picture”, ’cause “The Hurt Locker” in my opinion, is the best film out of all the “Best Picture” nominations.

Report: Noel Gallagher is also top contender to replace Simon Cowell on “Idol”…

Leave a comment

Now this one is even better than Perez Hilton! If A.I. hires Noel to be judge, I would definitely watch for sure! If you read Noel Gallagher’s interviews through the internet, music magazines, the radio, etc. you would know for sure that Noel is brutally honest with music. Noel is rude and crude. When he thinks music sucks, he’s not afraid to say it even if it’s really harsh and mean, he’ll be open about it. Only problem is though, Noel swears and cusses a lot. Noel will say things like, “that’s fucking shit” and all that. That’s him, it’s his dark sense of humor. So, A.I. would definitely have to be careful with him ’cause Noel wouldn’t help himself but say something very offensive that’s too bad for TV. I don’t take what Noel says seriously ’cause I find him a funny guy myself. He’s another good choice.

Plus, it’ll be a great opportunity for Noel Gallagher to give a plug to his upcoming solo career that he has planned. He could become a well known solo musician just by being a judge for, A.I. and I think this is a good idea for Noel.

Report: Sacha Baron Cohen was rejected to host the Oscars…

Leave a comment

Aaaaaahhh, so this is why we’re getting Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to host the Oscars. Simply because, Sacha Baron Cohen was rejected to host. This is very dissapointing ’cause I would have really liked to see Sascha host the Oscars. It would have been a LOL riot fest for sure. Can you see Sacha bringing back Borat and Ali G to the stage for one last time at the Oscars show? I can. What about Bruno presenting an award? I like Sacha, he’s a funny guy and entertaining. Oh well, maybe Sacha will be at the Oscars this year anyways to present an award instead?

Report: Sean Penn charged with battery and vandalism…could face 18 months in jail…

Leave a comment

It’s not a crime for paps to take pictures, but it is a crime to attack them and break their camera. Sean Penn, actor/director/activist could be off to jail soon if found guilty of beaten up a paparazzo.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/19/sean.penn.charged/?hpt=T2

There, make a movie about that, idiot. Just shows that this guy is such a douchebag asshole in real life.

So sad, since he is a talented actor and director.

Report: Conan O’ Brien show to hit the road?

Leave a comment

Could Conan O’ Brien and the Max Weinberg 7 be taking their show on the road for a tour? They’ll be hitting the theatre stage but they’ll be doing their usual comedy shows like they did on TV…having celebrity guests and making jokes of media news. When they go on tour, I see them hitting NYC, Conan’s former hometown to play a show there. I doubt Conan would come to Albany but ya never know.

This is a good idea. This just shows that Conan just loves what he does, performing and entertaining his fans. It also shows that he certainly doesn’t want to sit around and do nothing while waiting for a new TV deal, so even more respects to Coco, indeed. Rock!

Report: Simon Cowell picks his replacement and who is it? No one other than Perez Hilton…

Leave a comment

Perez Hilton spoke out that he is dying to be Simon Cowell’s replacement on “American Idol”. Well guess what, folks? Simon Cowell likes it and actually agrees with it. Simon says, no one on Idol has reached out to Howard Stern yet. Simon thinks Howard doesn’t have the musical experience enough to be a judge, anyways.

As long as Simon wants Perez, A.I. will probably end up getting him. As much I don’t like Perez Hilton, he would be an entertaining judge since he is the king of controversy of all media. I’d say go for him. The “A.I”. audiences would hate Perez worse than Simon and I can see the audience giving Perez very strong boos.

Simon also says he wants Lady Gaga to be the guest judge toward the end of the season before he goes out.

Thought: About the Kurt Cobain biopic movie…

Leave a comment

So the Kurt Cobain biopic movie is finally moving forward. They have tapped, Oren Moverman, to write and direct the Kurt Cobain movie. To those who don’t know who Oren Moverman is, he did that movie, “The Messenger”. I know the Kurt Cobain biopic is getting a lot of hate, saying it should have never been done out of respect for Kurt, but I actually want the Kurt Cobain biopic to happen. He really deserves one.

With music biopics like “La Bamba”, “Walk the Line”, “Great Balls of Fire” and “Ray”…those films are really amazing and successful.

I think a Kurt Cobain film would be very dark, moving and powerful if  the script is good and the acting is good. Just imagine the film concentrates on Kurt’s dark past with drugs, marriage with Courtney, being suicidal, depressed, etc. Could the end of the Kurt Cobain movie actually show his suicide where he locks himself in a room and shoots himself in the head? That’s probably gonna happen. With the right actor, I think it could be a moving and powerful performance that could have Oscar potential.

The Kurt Cobain biopic could be something very special.

I’m sure there are more music biopics film coming in the future like there’s a Bob Marley biopic in the works. Also there’s a Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson biopic in the planning stages too.

Who do I think should play Kurt Cobain? Probably Taylor Kitsch from “Friday Night Lights” would be my pick. If you look at Taylor both are very similar. This would be a good acting opportunity for Taylor so I hope they consider him. While Taylor is known as a TV star, he sometimes appears in big screen movies. Taylor Kitsch last appeared in, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” where he played the Bandit villain.

As for who to play Courtney Love, Drew Barrymore maybe? As for who to play Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, I don’t know yet. Maybe unknown actors for them?
