Cool Video: Jean Claude Van Damme explains why he turned down the “Expendables”…

Jean Claude Van Damme was at some unknown press conference here, doing a Q&A thing with the press and of course, somebody had to ask him why he turned down Stallone’s movie, “The Expendables”. Simply the reason, because Sly wouldn’t give details on the character Van Damme was supposed to play. Van Damme asked many times what the character is and Sly just kept saying it’s going to be a great action movie that will make him lots of money.

I’m a huge fan of Sly and all but if what Van Damme said is true, Sly needs to be a profesional if he wants to be a director. It’s the directors job to explain to the cast what the characters are. Kudos to Van Damme for being real.

“Taken” director, Pierre Morel, is set to direct the new version of “Dune”, based on the legendary sci-fi novel written by Frank Herbert. This would be the third remake of “Dune”, the first being directed by David Lynch and the second was a direct-to-TV version by John Harrison for the Sy-Fy channel.

They’re probably gonna turn this version into a big time special effects action movie like all the others. I love the David Lynch version of “Dune”, that film was a classic. Hope they don’t screw this one up.

Geez, Sly. How much longer are you going to keep doing action films doing your own stunts? Sly is doing “Rambo V” next and I wonder if he’ll keep doing real fighting in the next Rambo movie? Probably.

Sly is going to kill himself doing this, lol!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: So who won in the ratings last night? Is it WWE or TNA? Ratings are in folks….

Last night was a huge night for wrestling. It really was. Something special that will go down in history for years. It was WWE vs. TNA in ratings for Hulk Hogan on TNA and Bret Hart on RAW. Which show did the best and got higher in ratings?

Click here and read for yourself:

http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_37908.shtml

Yes, that’s right. TNA got higher ratings than WWE last night. TNA never got this high before. Me thinks, it was the nWo reunion that drew people in. Last night’s TNA Impact was just like old school WCW, that’s what it reminded me of.

Congratulations to TNA. Keep it up!

Vince better shape up. WWE really needs to bring the Rock and Stone Cold back full time if they want to beat TNA.

Report: Chris Cornell and wife threatening to sue craigslist over Brittany Murphy video…

Craigslist, the popular anonymous advertising site, is in more legal trouble. Chris Cornell and his wife Vicky, are furious over a Brittany Murphy video that has surfaced for sale at craigslist. On the video, had private wedding footage of the Chris and Vicky wedding. In the wedding video had Brittany Murphy partying on it since she was in the wedding as maid of honour. As some of you may or may not know, Chris Cornell and Brittany Murphy were very close friends. The video was immediately pulled off the site, imagining that Chris’s team of lawyers sent them “cease and desist” letters. The Cornell team claims the video was a victim of stolen copyright and argue it’s a federal crime. The Cornell’s wants craigslist to track down the person responsible for stealing the video.

We better hope that wedding video is copyrighted, if the judge finds that it isn’t, then Chris won’t be able to do anything about it legally.

RIP: Casey Johnson 1979 – 2010

Well, look like this is the first celebrity death of 2010. Casey Johnson, of the legendary company, Johnson & Johnson, (a company that sells products from shampoos, soaps, beauty products, etc.) has died. The legendary company Johnson & Johnson was first started by her great-great grandfather, Robert Wood Johnson, one of the co-founders of Johnson & Johnson, who started it with his brothers. She was only 30 years old.

Sad. Now she can rest with Robert Wood and all the other Johnson’s who helped ran the company in the past. She was a nice looking woman too.

Thought: Why the “Biggest Loser” TV show is crap and America is wasting their time watching it…

I watched a couple of seasons of “The Biggest Loser” in the past, and that’s enough for me. This seems to be one of the popular shows on NBC. My question is why? The show is crap, fake and scripted. All of it. I also can’t stand that bitch, Jillian Michaels.

Why is the “Biggest Loser” crap? The answer is easy.

On the show, they make working out, losing weight and getting in shape look so difficult and dangerous. When the reality is, losing weight and getting in shape is really the easiest thing to do ever. On the show, they try to make it look like that they make those people work so hard. In reality, when you need to work out, you don’t really need to work out hard and intensely.

I like Alison Sweeney, the host, but she needs to get off that show. It’s not good for her.

In reality, you don’t really need to spend $500-$1000 on personal trainers. In reality, you don’t really need to spend loads of money on gym memberships, when you can do all this for free at home. If other people lose the competition, why feel bad? The hell with the TV show and keep going. You don’t need the “Biggest Loser” to lose weight and get in shape.  The only reason these contestants go on these shows ’cause NBC pays them and it’s an opportunity to get fame. Plus, to get their faces on TV.

These famous trainers like Jillian Michaels and others, why look up to them? They are probably fake and not even real “trainers” as they appear to be on TV. For the fans of this show, you don’t need to learn to lose weight by watching this show ’cause most of it…fake.

All it takes to lose weight is to lift weights, 20 minutes of cardio a day, eating healthy permanently and relaxing your body for results. That’s it. Those who watch this stupid TV show is wasting your time and I hope it gets off the air soon. I would celebrate if it gets cancelled someday.

TNA Impact vs. WWE RAW last night making wrestling history with Hulk Hogan vs. Bret Hart

Wow!!!!!!! What an amazing night of wrestling last night!!! Both wrestling shows “TNA Impact” and “WWE RAW” were really amazing. Making history, big time. Last night’s TNA Impact, their first Monday night show, marks the debut of Hulk Hogan who just signed with TNA a while back. TNA did a three hour special to compete with RAW. Yes they were competing and battling with them big time for the ratings. Hulk Hogan was not the only former WWE superstar making his debut in TNA, there were many others. Superstars such as Ric Flair, Jeff Hardy, Val Venis, The Nasty Boys tag team, Scott Hall, X-Pac (Sean Waltman), Shannon Moore, and a few more to name. I never really used to like TNA that much, but last night was actually a really good show. The wrestling and the storylines were entertaining.

As for the Hulk Hogan debut, everybody probably expected Hulk to come out wearing his usual red and yellow ring attire with his “Great American” theme song, but he didn’t. He came out wearing all black, wearing sunglasses and fake black beard makeup. Meaning that he went back to his old Hollywood Hulk Hogan gimmick. The reason I think Hogan didn’t wear the red and yellow ring attire is because it’s, the WWE’s trademark and WWE owns the rights. TnA could get into legal trouble if they used the “American” red and yellow gimmick, that’s my guess. I could be wrong though, maybe TnA will actually use the red and yellow gimmick in the future if WWE lets them.

There was an nWo reunion last night on TNA. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Scott Hall, and Eric Bischoff were all in the ring, talking about reforming the nWo. However, the nWo name wasn’t mentioned once (another copyright/trademark thing?). It was an amazing segment seeing all those guys in the ring after all these years. They put on great mic speeches.

I was also watching WWE RAW, both at the same time. Switching back and forth in between commercials. I recorded both shows on my DVR. Bret Hart being RAW guest host was amazing as well. Bret still have the great mic skills and he was amazing last night. Look like Bret will be feuding with McMahon for the Montreal Screwjob angle years back. Bret vs. Vince McMahon for Wrestlemania? Possibly.

I plan to watch both TNA and RAW again this week. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings report to see which show did the best ratings. I’ll post it when the ratings report is announced.

Report: Rod Blagojevich and several other surprising names for this year’s “Celebrity Apprentice”…

Rod Blagojevich, the controversial former governor of Illinois, has been set to be a guest in Donald Trump’s, “Celebrity Apprentice” this year. Other surprising names for this year’s guests include: Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, WWE Diva Maria Kanellis, former wrestler Bill Goldberg, comedian Sinbad, Daryl Strawberry, Poison’s Bret Michaels and many others.

This year’s lineup sounds interesting. I think I’ll definitely watch this season.

I wonder if Bill Goldberg can take “You’re Fired” from Trump without throwing a chair at him.
