BREAKING NEWS: Christopher Meloni announces he’s leaving “Law & Order: SVU” for movie career…

Leave a comment

After 12 years of starring in the NBC legendary show, “Law & Order: SVU”, one of the shows leading stars, Christopher Meloni announced he is quitting. Why? He wants to move on to bigger opportunities. He revealed he wants to do Hollywood films full time after he leaves the show.

While most would find it sad that Chris is leaving for a movie career, I don’t find it sad at all as I’m actually happy for him. I always find him very talented and he is a great actor, I think he’s going to make a great movie star.

Stars that leave TV shows do go on to become big movie stars like what happened to Tom Hanks and Robin Williams. Will Smith (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and Jim Carrey (In Living Color) also left their shows for movies.

If you think Chris Meloni is going to have a failed movie career in the future, I don’t think he will. He will do good, trust me. I’ve seen Chris’s both TV shows with HBO’s “Oz” and “L&O: SVU”. I’m cetainly looking forward to seeing what his first movie role is going to be and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’ll star in some crime action drama film.

5 Best Raw Guest Hosts…

Leave a comment

A lot of wrestling fans vote William Shatner as the best RAW guest host so far. Um, no. In my opinion, I thought William Shatner hosting RAW was actually kind of lame and dissapointing. WWE didn’t use Shatner that much. He only did a few segments here and there. I was expecting WWE to do more with him.

My favorite RAW guest hosts so far were:

1. Bret Hart

2. Jesse the Body Ventura

3. Bob Barker

4. Iron “Mike” Tyson

5. Dennis Miller

Bret the Hitman Hart was indeed the best host for a lot of reasons. Very emotional having the Hitman back for the first time in years! Now he’s back full time for a while until Wrestlemania!

Jesse the Body Ventura hosting RAW was really amazing as well. That episode ended well and it was great to see Vince McMahon and Ventura at the announcers table again like the good old days.

Bob Barker was great ’cause I admired how much fun he was having out there. Plus, he was very entertaining.

Mike Tyson did a great job hosting RAW. While Iron Mike was backstage during wrestler interviews, Iron Mike was just being quiet as he listened to wrestlers talking trash back and forth at each other, making you wonder what match Iron Mike would make. Then he gets into action with DX at the end of the show. Awesome episode.

Dennis Miller, TV host and comedian hosted the Slammy Awards RAW episode. I thought Dennis did great on the mic.

That’s it, enjoy.

5 WWE Superstars with the best bodybuilding physiques…

Leave a comment

Most would accuse WWE guys using steroids to get ripped, most has yes, but it is still possible to get that look naturally. Which superstars in WWE do I think has the best bodybuilding physiques? I can think of 5 at the top of my head right now…

1. Triple H

2. John Cena

3. Dave Batista

4. Sheamus

5. “The Glamazon” Beth Phoenix

Triple H definitely tops the list. Most would hate John Cena but you can not deny that he has a very impressive physique and a great look. Dave Batista makes the list, he’s a scary looking dude. Sheamus, the WWE Champion, the redhead Irish guy, he’s probably one of the only guys with a natural look. Sheamus doesn’t tan his body, his body is almost white as a ghost as you see of him on TV. He’s one guy that I think that got the look naturally. Beth Phoenix, is a female wrestler and she’s an incredible built for a woman. Much better than Chyna’s fake look.

Enjoy the list.

Report: Howard Stern, in talks to replace Simon Cowell on “Idol”???

Leave a comment

Rumours hit the internets that Howard Stern is in talks to replace Simon Cowell on “Idol”. Source claims that “Idol” just started searching for a replacement, denying the rumours, but who knows.

If they are serious about Howard, they better be careful with him because Stern is one crazy guy. I don’t see Howard being mean and nasty to bad singers at all. He might make fun of them and crack jokes about them, but he definitely won’t be that mean knowing that Stern is actually a friendly guy…and he has a sense of humor with an NC-17 attitude. Can you see Stern saying a bunch of perverted and sexual things to female singers that are beautiful? Do you want him doing that? He’ll be like, “Oh you look so hot, look at those breasts”, like he says on his radioshow constantly. Do you want Stern asking singers, “How often they get laid”?

Sorry, but Stern is definitely the wrong pick. I’m sure Stern will be ordered by FOX to clean his act up for a family friendly show, but he won’t be able to help himself but crack out dirty jokes by accident. Everyone knows how Stern really is. I can see Stern being nice and friendly to all the beautiful female singers no matter how bad they sing. Plus, who wants to see Howard Stern and Ellen Degeneres making fun of each other all the time? I don’t. Stern belongs on his radioshow which is what he’s best at! He don’t need, “Idol”.

Report: Jay Reatard, alcohol and cocaine is what killed the legendary Memphis musician…

Leave a comment

The legendary Memphis garage rocker, Jay Reatard, died of an alcohol and cocaine overdose. Those who thought he was healthy and clean, thought wrong. Keep in mind that some people don’t go public about their alcohol and drug problems. I kind of had a feeling it was going to be drugs since he died that young.

I can’t stop listening to his newest album, “Watch Me Fall”, it’s really incredible stuff.

Jay Reatard was buried near Isaac Hayes’s grave.

Reatard’s manager, Adam Shore, confirmed his label will be releasing his previous and unreleased albums in the near future. Before he died, Reatard was also working on a new solo record as a follow up for “Watch Me Fall” which only 6 songs were completed for the new album. So expect a lot more of Reatard’s new music to be released which I will be excited about.

Leave a comment

More good news that a sequel to Disney’s “Enchanted” have been greenlighted. I’m sure Amy Adams would come back, but the sequel will be directed by Anne Fletcher, a female director this time. The first movie was directed by Kevin Lima. I’m actually looking forward to the sequel. Yes, I love the “Enchanted” movie and still do. Great film.

Leave a comment

 

I’m happy Vinny and Paul are still on for the 5th “Fast and Furious” movie, ’cause I actually thought the 4th “Fast & Furious” was very entertaining. I hope they make the next movie even better.

And please…more Michelle Rodriguez for the next one! Not just a small cameo!

I love my new guitar and amp!

1 Comment

I must say that I’m very happy with my new purchases from AMS. My Ibanez Artcore Hollow Body sounds really really good through my Fender Frontman 212R amp. The sound through the amp is very clean and perfect. No hissing or other unwanted noise coming out of it like most amps I’ve played through in the past. This is possibly the best amp I’ve ever played through in my life. Yes it does get pretty loud. Hollow body guitars has a much fatter and bigger sound than the solid body electrics. That’s why I went for the Hollow Body. I like my guitar sound up front and big.

I haven’t plugged in my effects pedals in yet, but I need more batteries and extra guitar cables (the smaller ones). I’m very serious on becoming a full time electric player. No difference really, if you know how to play acoustic, you already know how to play electric, but the only thing is, the sound and feeling is different. I’m gonna have to get used to the electric.

I also plan to buy more instructional books and DVD’s that are more aimed at the electric guitar to improve my skills to a greater level. Learn more scales and soloing techniques, concentrate on improvising, etc. You know, become a more profesional guitarist. Become an actual “musician”.

I’ll try to post pics of my new axe and amp this weekend.
