I'm a musician, singer/songwriter, blogger, writer, poet, bodybuilder, movie lover, music lover, video gamer, history/political buff, conservative/republican, etc. I like to do a lot of things.
As I predicted, Hollywood is going to make a big motion picture out of this story of Captain Phillips being held captive by the Somali pirates. Columbia pictures has picked up the rights and greenlighted this huge news story to make it into a film. I believe that Columbia is going to make it an action movie with a big name star playing Captain Phillips.
No director and no writer is on board yet, just a bunch of producers.
Since Kevin Spacey is producing the film, I’m willing to bet, they’re going to get him to play Captain Phillips? Spacey doesn’t wear glasses and doesn’t have facial hair, but the make up and costume designers can simply give him that stuff.
Now a motion picture has been greenlighted for this controversial story, expect the video game industry to start making their own games to give their take on the story. Think how a game like this would be a cool first person shooter?
While Mike Tyson is feeling strong and feeling not much emotion about his daughter’s death, John Travolta still hasn’t pulled through his son’s death yet. Denzel Washington, Travolta’s cast mate for the action film, “The Taking of Pelham 123”, gave us the news on how Travolta is feeling these days. Denzel said, Travolta is still struggling with Jett Travolta’s death, so don’t be expecting John Travolta to start working on a new movie anytime soon.
Denzel and John, seems to be best friends as they like to talk on the phone for hours, just having conversations about anything.
I know Ozzy Osbourne is getting a lot of shit and hate about suing Tony Iommi about him being the only owner of the “Black Sabbath” band name, him being the registrant of the trademark. If you actually think about it, Ozzy has valid points on why all band members should own their share of the trademark. Tony and Ozzy both formed Black Sabbath together, I can understand why Ozzy is pissed about this.
To you music fans that don’t know anything about Black Sabbath, do some resarch on their history. Listen to all their albums with Ozzy as the frontman. Black Sabbath has sold the most records more than any other band in America, only the ones with Ozzy as frontman. These guys are the inventors and pioneers of this genre they created in the 70’s, called heavy metal. The guys don’t deserve ownership of the band name?
The band’s debut album, “Black Sabbath” made certified platinum. They don’t deserve ownership of the band name? What about their next album, “Paranoid” which is their biggest selling album in history and that album is an essential.
Black Sabbath is the most influential band of all time. Without the band, we would get no Metallica, we would get none of those 80’s hair metal bands or metal music wouldn’t be around at all. Black Sabbath created the metal genre for us. Don’t fucking tell me that Ozzy Osbourne isn’t in the right for this lawsuit, ’cause if you think about it, Ozzy did a great thing.
Tony claims he owns Black Sabbath all for himself because he is trademarked to it, and Ozzy is trying to prove that he doesn’t own it for himself. It isn’t about the money with Ozzy’s suit. It’s all about the legacy and the fame that the band created with Ozzy being part of the band. It’s not about jealousy and it isn’t an ego thing either.
If you use a little common sense, you’ll figure it out.
Read some of Black Sabbath’s history and information here in wikipedia:
Read books about the band, read magazine articles about ’em, see their videos, live concert DVD’s, etc. Then you’ll start to understand why Ozzy Osbourne has a valid point in this suit.
I’m an avid Black Sabbath fan, I totally agree that it is wrong that Tony kept the band name all for himself. Hopefully, Tony will do the smart thing and sell some of the trademark to share with each band member.
I think Tony will agree with it. He seems like a good man with a good heart, I’m sure he’ll take upon Ozzy’s request. I’ll be on the lookout for more news on this.
I’m sure some may think that “Iron” Mike Tyson maybe heartbroken and think his life maybe over ’cause of the death of his 4 year old daughter, but his producers says he is fine and good. They say he can “deal with this” and he’s pulling through this for his family.
I’m sure Tyson feels a little sad of Exodus’s death, but it seems to me, not that sad.
Of course, “Iron” Mike wouldn’t feel that emotion. No surprise. He cares about himself, his life with boxing and the fame. Hmmmm, no wonder why he is hardily ever at home much when he should be home with his family. His movie, “The Hangover”, must be more important.
Ozzy Osbourne, has filed a lawsuit against the legendary guitarist, Tony Iommi. Tony and Ozzy teamed up together in the late 60’s to form a heavy metal band, named Black Sabbath. Ozzy was fired from the band in 1980 due to heavy drug use and heavy drinking. Later, the band continued on, and replaced Ozzy with Ronnie James Dio. The band still used the Black Sabbath name even without Ozzy.
The guys in Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio are now under a new name of, Heaven and Hell, which they are still together, playing and touring today.
Sorry, Ozzy, but Tony Iommi, DOES own the copyright and trademark name to the Black Sabbath band name.
I have the proof…
From the trademark website, read who’s the registrant to the Black Sabbath name which is still live, this means Tony still has the right to use the name whenever he wants:
Ozzy will lose this one, big time. Wow, talk about a big stab in the back, Ozzy, you egomaniac.

Edit to add: Ozzy just released a statement for the public, being a little more clear on the lawsuit that he wants the Black Sabbath name to be trademarked by all 4 members of Black Sabbath since they created more of a legacy then, Ronnie James Dio. I’ll take back with what I said above, and I’ll now agree with Ozzy. Ozzy actually has a good point that Black Sabbath should be owned by all 4 members. Ozzy was a pretty important member of the band which is why he deserves ownership too. So maybe this lawsuit is a good thing. My bad!
Today is Jay Leno’s final day of “The Tonight Show”, Conan takes over Monday night. We will see Conan on TV tonight on “The Tonight Show” ’cause he was confirmed as Jay’s special guest for tonight.
I missed Conan on TV. It’s good we’ll get to see him an hour early next week, and can’t wait!!!
Well, the remake of “A Nightmare On Elm St.” started filming. Here is Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Kreuger. In these pics they are starting off as Freddy Kreuger being a human character and then they show how he turned himself into a monster that is only seen in people’s dreams?
Actor John Lithgow has joined the cast of HBO’s “Dexter” for the fourth season only. Don’t remember who John Lithgow is? For most of his career, he has starred in a slew of Hollywood movies, then he stopped doing movies for a while to do TV sitcoms like “3rd Rock From the Sun” and “Twenty Good Years”. When “Twenty Good Years” got cancelled, John Lithgow moved on to the theatre stage, and to make music albums for children.
John Lithgow is known to play controversial villains in such films like, “Raising Cain”, “Ricochet”, “Santa Clause: The Movie”, “Footloose” and Stallone’s, “Cliffhanger”.
In “Dexter” John is set to play a vicious serial killer. It looks like John will be playing a prisoner serving a life sentence.
I don’t know why John stopped doing Hollywood films. He should make a big screen return. Everytime he tried TV, he fails. He is a decent actor and a funny guy. I like Lithgow.
Glad he’s back to playing the badguy again! I’ll tune in to “Dexter” to see if he still has the acting chops playing the villain again which I’m sure he still does. When he played the villain in movies like “Raising Cain”, “Ricochet” and “Cliffhanger”, John is a fucking psycho!!! He’s so scary as a villain which I think is what he does best at.
Eminem’s fantastic new rap album, “Relapse” surprisingly did well in sales for the Billboard charts. It sold the most copies of any other album released this year.
Once a woman beater, always a woman beater. It doesn’t matter how much of an annoying bitch a woman is, you never hit her, not even a punch in the shoulder either. If she punches you first, you don’t hit back.
If she is about to kill you with a knife or a gun, it’s okay to attack her back for self defense, only if it’s something life theatening… that’s it…but reacting with violence now matter how angry she makes you is wrong.
Chris is just doing whatever it takes to save his so called music career.
