Report: Patrick Stewart finally saw, JJ’s “Star Trek”, and gave us a review…

Former, “Star Trek – The Next Generation” actor, Patrick Stewart, who originally played Captain Jean Luc Picard, finally got to see the new, “Star Trek” movie in London. Patrick’s review of, “Star Trek” is very positive of course. Sounds to me like he was totally blown away and thought the film was amazing as well.

However, he does admit that he finds it a little odd and weird watching a Star Trek movie that he didn’t star in… especially after starring in the last 4 Star Trek movies that starred, “The Next Generation” cast.

I wonder if Patrick Stewart will ever return to the big screen? Play in other movies besides, “Star Trek”? I know Patrick is doing theatre plays right now, but wouldn’t it be fucking sweet if Marvel film gave Professor Xavier his own movie? Patrick played Professor Xavier in the 3 X-Men movies. It be great if Patrick returned to that great character.

Report: Neil Young rocks Isle of Wight festival by playing mostly classics, not his new stuff…

Neil Young played a great set at Isle of Wight, a music festival in the UK. He brought out mostly classics, staying away from his new music. He even played, “Hey Hey My My”, and ending the set with a Beatles cover, “A Day In the Life”. After the song got over with, Neil blasted his guitar amp with loud feedback by shaking the instrument, and breaking the guitar strings off of it. A 60 something year old man, still rocking hard with energy. Neil Young has been in the UK to prepare for his performance at the huge “Glastonbury” festival.

Brock wants Megan Fox…

She’s one of my celebrity crushes. She’s the only reason I like, “The Transformers” movies. If I had the opportunity to date a female celebrity, Megan Fox would indeed be my first pick. Damn, she’s so hot. Most celebrity women are so fake looking, but Megan is more natural and real. She looks like she knows how to take care of her body and she probably works out in the gym a lot, I can tell. She also looks like a very cool person to talk to as well.

I’m looking forward to seeing, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, hopefully, she shows more skin in that movie.

BREAKING NEWS: Bruce Springsteen jams with Trey Anastasio and Phish at end of Bonnaroo weekend!!!

At Bonnarroo last night put on a huge huge surprise. Phish closed out Bonnarroo weekend by inviting Bruce Springsteen himself to the stage to jam with Phish on a few tunes. It was just Bruce himself, not the rest of the E Street Band. They played “Mustang Sally” cover, “Bobby Jean”, and “Glory Days”.

Billboard reports:

We all know Bruce loves jam sessions with other famous musicians at the end of concerts. We’ll definitely get a Bruce and Neil Young jam at “Glastonbury” probably, maybe the guys in Blur will jam with them too.

See the video of Bruce and Phish performing “Mustang Sally” below. Why would they play a popular bar band song at a huge show? Very weird.

Thought: Lets be honest, the WWE currrently sucks so bad right now…

I am very quickly losing interest in the WWE. Why? There are many reasons. Some of the reasons is the horrible writing, the bad mic work of the superstars (many of them are getting too nervous speaking in front of a crowd and mumbling by mistake), the wrestling in the matches haven’t been all that exciting anymore. It’s getting ridiculous.

The thing that bothers me so much is why so many kids and families still watch it. My belief is that the wrestlers gimmicks is what they are interested in. Do you think the people will come to WWE shows if wrestlers didn’t have gimmicky costumes and silly characters? No.

It’s no wonder why UFC is more popular because people want to see real fighting and people being real to each other. Not fake gimmicks and stupid storylines. So you understand why Brock Lesnar left the WWE to join UFC now instead, right?

The matches themselves at WWE shows have been such a sleeper and so boring. No excitement and no thrills like they had back in the early 80’s and 90’s. Wrestling fans want to see a thrill “ride” in a match. We aren’t getting any of that. WWE matches today are way too predictable. You always know what’s going to happen next, almost all the time.

If WWE concentrated more on the wrestling and not the silly storylines and gimmicky bullshit, the WWE could get more respect. These days the WWE is all about Vince. Vince is about amusing himself with storylines and matches.

Wrestlers today are so gimmicky is almost like a cartoon. The Divas haven’t been all that interesting either. The WWE today is more like a soap opera and the movies. It is totally staying away from the actual sport of wrestling.

More on the entertainment side.

The only current superstars that I love in the WWE today are: Triple H, Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, the Undertaker, and Kane. Everyone else in the current WWE roster is like, meh.

Such a shame. I’ve been in love with the wrestling business for years, loved it ever since I was a little kid. Now Vince has brought the wrestling industry to an embarrassment. I personally think the WWE has lost it since the Chris Benoit tragedy. Before then, the WWE was getting really good, but after the Chris Benoit thing, the company has been sucking since then. The WWE has lost too many wrestlers over drugs and other crimes, which also probably turned fans off.

This is what made my decision to start supporting UFC more, ’cause I’m losing interest in WWE. I’ll still watch WWE RAW every Monday, sure, just for something to watch on TV on a Monday, I don’t think I will watch WWE ppvs as much anymore.

Report: Come on, Dustin Lance Black, sue Perez Hilton to take his blog off the net!!!

Is Perez Hilton such an attention whore? It seems that’s all the guy wants, Perez media and fame whore. Perez Hilton’s latest controversy…read all about it here…

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-pasetsky/perez-hilton-crosses-line_b_215257.html

I hope Dustin sues Perez Hilton as well, and it won’t surprise me he will. From Dustin’s statement that he released to the public, it even sounded like that statement was aiming at Perez. I didn’t even look at those pictures although I’ve been following and reading this story.

When will Perez Hilton get busted for something that he can’t get away with? Famous people have sued Perez’s site to get it shut down many times before, but Perez always wins the dismissal. Maybe Perez will lose this time, here’s hoping.

Cool Video: Phish takes the stage at Bonnaroo from Friday night!!!!

Oh my! It’s fucking amazing to see the original lineup of Phish back together! I can’t wait to see them at Spac in August! Here is Phish taking the stage from Bonnaroo Friday night! WOW!!!!!! When I go see them at Spac, I’ll indeed get my hippie dancing shoes on! More videos to come if I find ’em!

My brother and his girlfriend both went to Bonnaroo Fest all this weekend, they are so lucky, I’m a little jealous but in a good way though. They are probably in that Phish audience somewhere.

Report: Chris Cornell surprises fans at Download festival…

Chris Cornell, shocks fans by giving them what they want at the Download festival. He brought out the metal rocking, Chris Cornell. Not the mainstream pop, Chris Cornell. During his set at Download, he played mostly Soundgarden and Audioslave classics. He only played 2 or 3 songs from his solo career.

More on it here:

It’s nice to see Chris finally giving what the fans want and not being a selfish man for a change. Hopefully, Chris will smarten up and make a metal/rock record when he records a new one.

And I fucking love how he threw Temple of the Dog’s hit “Hunger Strike”, that song is incredible and it’s nice to see Chris perform that song.

Thought: Brock is seriously calling for a “Macho Man” Randy Savage return to the WWE…

So I finally picked up the “Macho Man” Randy Savage DVD, “Macho Madness” over the week. I haven’t watched all of it yet, I’m just starting to watch the first disc since this is a 3 DVD set. I have a lot to watch ’cause there’s so much to watch on this thing.

I wonder why Randy Savage has never made a return to WWE. He did make a brief return to TNA way back in 2004, that was about it. I want the “Macho Man” to come back to the WWE for one last run. If Hulk Hogan already did it, so can Randy Savage.

Yeah, I know Vince McMahon and Randy Savage, never got along too well in real life. Since the WWE just released a DVD dedicated to Randy Savage, it’s quite obvious Vince McMahon still has a lot of respect and love for him.

Maybe Randy Savage will agree to one last WWE match when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame? I certainly would love to see Ric Flair vs. Macho Man again!

Macho Man was one of my favorite wrestling characters back in the 80’s. I haven’t watched the rest of the DVD yet, but will this weekend. All wrestling fans wants a Macho Man return to the WWE. Sure, Randy is getting old, his hair is white now and has a grey beard, but I wish he would give what the fans want is give us one last “Macho Man” WWE run, ooooohhhh yeahhhhh…
