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

Leave a comment

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…

Leave a comment

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:

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!!!

Leave a comment

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???

Leave a comment

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”…

Leave a comment

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!!!

Leave a comment

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?

Leave a comment

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.

Cool Video: “Batman: Arkham Asylum 2” trailer surfaces online…

Leave a comment

Well, the sequel to “Batman: Arkham  Asylum” is announced already and here is the trailer. The next Batman game will indeed be taken place in Gotham City, where it should have been. Of course, Mark Hammil still does the voice overs for the Joker which is good. Harley Quinn is back for the next one.

I hope we get to see the Riddler and Mr. Freeze, and actually fight them in the next game. In the first “Arkham Asylum” game, the Riddler and Mr. Freeze did not appear in the game, but they left clues representing them, which means they could possibly appear in the sequel.

I’m  happy there is a sequel to “Arkham Asylum”. It probably won’t come out ’til next year or so, but I’m glad there is one coming.

I hope the next game will be much longer and hopefully it will be more challenging.

BREAKING NEWS: Courtney Love loses guardian control of Frances Bean…

Leave a comment

Uh oh. I’m willing to bet, Courtney Love is one pissed off mother, right about now. How much do you want to bet Courtney will respond back in a rage? She will go to war against Kurt’s mother, Wendy, and his sister.

Courtney and Frances, both seem to have a loving relationship. Isn’t Frances, 17 years old now? With someone in that age, don’t you think she is old enough to be on her own and take care of herself? Yep, that’s the way I look at things.

This is about to get ugly fast. That’s the thing with famous parents, jealousy and egos will get in the way with family, and that’s what this is all about ’cause this is all about Kurt Cobain. I see Courtney fighting back very quick here.

No matter how out of control and crazy the mother is, the daughter or son belongs to her. Frances herself is probably even pissed off. I’m sure she wants to be with Courtney and not with grandma.
