Thought: Erin Andrews, a publicity whore, not a victim?

Does Erin Andrews see all of this “stalking” and “invasion of privacy” controversy, as a ploy for more publicity and self promotion? I think so. Does she really feel humiliated and embarrassed by this, Michael David Barrett guy? No, I don’t think so at all. She didn’t look like she did when she was speaking to the media after the trial yesterday on TV. She seems confident and in an upbeat mood. Me, thinks she’s enjoying the press.

I’m not defending this peeping tom guy, but I think she’s a pathetic loser trying to do whatever it takes to put him behind bars for life for this. How is she going to prove that he has done this to many other women out there? I think she is full of shit with her claims.

She’s trying to give all her power to destroy this guy because of her “fame”. This is what happens when you mess with famous people. Too many celebrities are living in their own worlds and suffers delusions of grandeur, she is one of them.

She loves the fact that Michael Barrett helped make her more well known in the media. What he did was wrong…but this was her own god damn fault. She should have known better. With her fame and her staying at a hotel, she should have known this was coming.

Michael Barrett maybe an old creep, that is obsessed with famous women but do you find this a surprise? With celebrity and fame being so huge today, this is where all the creeps and psychos start to come out. She should have seen this coming and she should have taken her privacy a little more responsibly. Now she’s blaming the hotels for this.

The truth is, that these guys aren’t really creeps and psychos. They are innocent human beings like us. They just have an obsession with famous women like a lot of people. It’s a celebrity crush kind of thing, that’s what it is.

Me thinks, Erin Andrews, takes herself seriously and needs to get over herself already. Gotta love fame and fortune.

Top 10 Films to Look Forward to in 2010!!!

2009 was a pretty good year for movies, not bad at all. Major improvement. I expect 2010 of Hollywood to get even better. Lots of exciting movies coming out next year. I’ll name 10 films that I look forward to seeing next year. I’ll do them in order.

  1. Stallone’s “The Expendables” – This is definitely no. 1 on the list. I look forward to seeing this one more than anything else really. Stallone starring and directing a movie with all these badass action stars? Including, Bruce and Arnold? Fuck yeah!
  2. “Shutter Island” – The horror film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leo Dicaprio. This looks like a very interesting and good flick.
  3. “The A-Team” remake – definitely makes the list. This is one remake I look forward to.
  4. “Clash of the Titans” remake – another remake I actually look forward to. This film is looking very good and I’m impressed with it so far with the trailers I’ve seen.
  5. “Wall Street 2” – Who wouldn’t want to see a tempered tantrum, Gordon Gecko back on the big screen? It’s badass the character is coming back. I’m definitely paying my money to see this!
  6. “Nightmare On Elm St.” remake – Another remake that actually looks like a promising one. Pretty excited for this one.
  7. “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” – Of course, another Twilight film is always a must see for me.
  8. “Salt” – Angelina Jolie action spy flick. The reason I want to see this movie is not because some of the movie was filmed in Albany, I want to see the flick ’cause it looks good over all.
  9. “Tron Legacy” – The sequel to Tron is a must see for me. With Jeff Bridges coming back as his leading character. I’m interested to see what new technology they used for the new “Tron”, it looks like a fun flick  and can’t wait to see it.
  10. “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of Dawn Treader” – Loved the first two films. Seen the first two “Narnia” movies in theater when they first came out, I will see the next one too.

I’m sure there is more movies, I look forward to see, but these are the top ten I look forward to the most.

Report: Mel Gibson to star in “Summer Vacation” but not direct…

Mel Gibson is about to keep himself a very busy man in Hollywood. Not only that he is going to direct a “Vikings” film with Leo Dicaprio, he is also going to star in an action/drama titled, “How I Spent My Summer Vacation”. This is not a comedy, although the title sounds like it. Mel will be starring the leading role in, “Summer Vacation”. He won’t be directing this one. Mel did write the script himself, though.

The plot/synopsis is about a man who is a career criminal and is arrested by Mexican authorities. He is sent to a prison where he learns how to survive prison life by a 9 year old boy.

More on it here:

You may think a 9 year old boy in an adult prison is silly and you may find it unrealistic, but if you do your research on prisons, yes, it is possible that children can be sent to an adult prison for life. It happens.

Sounds like Mel doesn’t want to direct two movies one after another. Maybe that’s why he decided to star in this one and not direct? I know he has starred the leading role in and directed both at the same time in movies before with movies such as “Braveheart” for starters and also, “The Man Without a Face” is another one.

I wonder who they’ll pick for the 9 year old prison boy. Shall be interesting.

Report: Brian Setzer hospitalized in New Mexico…

Brian Setzer is currently on tour with the Brian Setzer orchestra playing Christmas music. He was briefly hospitalized in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was unable to finish his set ’cause he got sick. He will continue the rest of the tour as planned.

The Associated Press reports:

More from his website:

http://www.briansetzer.com/

I didn’t even know Brian was back with his orchestra band. I love Brian Setzer, admired his guitar playing and songwriting for many years.

He was only huge and mainstream for one album which was the Brian Setzer Orchestra’s “The Dirty Boogie”. Everything else he did after that, no one cared for. I still follow Brian’s career even if he isn’t that popular and well known anymore.

While away from his orchestra in the past, he put out a few very good solo albums that I loved. I love his rockabilly guitar and admire how he tries to keep old school 50’s rock alive.

I wish the mainstream would pay more attention to real musicians like Brian instead of wasting money on shit like Lady Gaga and Beyonce.

BREAKING NEWS: Introducing new Hall of Famers for 2010!!!

Ladies and gents, new Hall of Famers has just been inducted. Congratulations to Genesis, The Stooges, Jimmy Cliff, The Hollies, and Abba.

They totally ignored LL Cool J, the Chilli Peppers, and Kiss. Weird. Kiss is probably getting frustrated and pissed off that they keep getting ditched by the Hall of Fame, lol.

Genesis and The Stooges are two bands that I love, and I’m happy they are finally in!

Thought: Will Metallica let Dave Mustaine jam on a few songs just for old time’s sake???

So Metallica and Megadeth will be sharing the stage together for the first time in years! This is really thrilling news. It definitely does let people know that these two bands are on the same page. The thing you must wonder is, will Metallica let Dave Mustaine jam on a few Metallica tunes like the good old days? I know Metallica loves collaboration with other artists sometimes, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t? I’m sure they have an all star superjam being planned out for the “Sonisphere” shows in the Czech and Poland.

I know us Americans are probably dissapointed that we won’t be able to see this, since this is an out of country concert, but maybe they are planning a full world tour for this “Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax” show after Sonisphere.

This is exciting news and I can’t wait for the youtube videos to start hitting the net of these concerts when they start doing Sonisphere.

I’m sure this is just a test to make sure how successful this gets. If Sonisphere is a huge success, then maybe all 4 bands will confirm a US tour for us? I’m sure they are planning something up their sleeve ’cause they know this won’t be fair for us Americans. Keep our fingers crossed.

Report: Golden Globes nominations revealed…

The Golden Globes nominations have been revealed. Here is what the possible Oscar nominations may look like.

See them here:

This one is hard to predict to see what’s gonna win.

I really would like it to be Quentin Tarantino’s year ’cause he is such a talented director and film maker, he deserves some award recognition. I doubt he’ll win anything this year but it would be awesome. “Inglourious Basterds” is a really good flick.

Cool Video: Neil Diamond covers Adam Sandler’s “The Chanukah Song”…

Pop music legend, Neil Diamond, does something different for the Holidays. He came out with a shocker by covering Adam Sandler’s hit Christmas song, “The Chanukah Song”, the song that made Adam well known as a comedy musician.

Hear Neil sing Adam’s “The Chanukah Song” below, and I’ll post Adam’s version of the song.

Sorry Neil, he did an entertaining job at it, but Adam sings it way better. I’m sure Adam is thrilled that a huge legend covered his song though.

BREAKING NEWS: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax to share the stage for the first time!!!

Dave Mustaine of Megadeth has always been known to get into heated feuds with other metal bands over the years. Mostly with Metallica and Slayer being the big ones. Dave already buried the hatchet with Slayer. Now it looks like he officially buried the hatchet with Metallica.

I mean come on now, if Mustaine and Metallica still didn’t get along, they wouldn’t agree to do this show at all. So it’s obvious they talked things over and put their differences aside after 30 years of feuding.

I’m glad ’cause that feud with Metallica and Megadeth was getting old and pretty stupid. Now this is definitely possible for a full Megadeth/Metallica tour in the future.

This is solid evidence that Dave still loves Metallica after all these years. This show sounds killer, and I agree, it is a historic announcement for the music industry. Especially for metal fans. It is a dream come true for metalheads.

This show will happen at the Sonisphere for the Czech Republic.

Check it out here:

Hope they record this for a DVD release. I’m sure they will be video taping it, it’s a huge show that all metal fans wants to see, so of course, they will video tape it.

Report: It was Frances Bean’s decision to live with grandmother, her and Courtney don’t get along?

Courtney Love is just proving herself the bitch she really is, and now Frances Bean wants nothing to do with her.

Some may assume that Frances Bean’s guardenship was taken away from Courtney Love by force, which was started by Kurt’s mother and his sister, but it wasn’t. This was all Frances Bean’s decision. She is 17, she’s old enough to make her own decisions.

It’s looking like Courtney and Frances Bean aren’t getting along, and now Frances wants to live with her grandmother, Kurt’s biological mother. Some also assumed that this was all ’cause of Courtney’s drug addiction. The lawyer came out and said, Courtney is clean and no longer on drugs.

TMZ also said, that Courtney is willing to let Frances Bean’s grandmother take care of her and live with her. So there is nothing negative about this guardian thing.

This proves that Courtney Love is a cunt, that she always has been. There’s gotta be a reason Frances Bean wants to live with her grandmother instead of Courtney. Only obvious reason, is that they aren’t getting along at all.

I understand that Courtney hasn’t been the same woman since Kurt’s suicide but she needs to get the fuck over herself, or she could end up being suicidal like Kurt.
