Report: Eminem breaks record sales of 2009 in Billboard…

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.

Variety Reports:

I had a feeling this was going to be the most selling album anyways.

It is his best album I think. “Relapse” is pretty amazing stuff. I like Eminem for so many reasons.

Report: Chris Brown is a delusional idiot, this clown still has a career?

I tried to find the youtube video to this but look like the coward took it down. Him blaming the haters for beating up Rihanna.

The Associated Press reports:

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.

Brock’s first day at the Fitness gym…

So I now officially have monthly subscriptions at my local “Fitness Gym” in Greenwich. The guy that owns the place was teaching me how to use all the equipment there. All the cardiovascular machines and the weightlifting machines as well. Pretty easy stuff. It has everything you need there to be a bodybuilder to build up every body part.

Working out at a gym is a lot of fun and feels real good. I’ll probably be going there on a regular basis. All year round. It’s a nice little gym with good machines and equipment.

The place is like a little YMCA. A great gym with decent pricing.

I’ll be going back there this weekend to do a full workout ’cause I have to work an all day/evening shift at my job the next two days. I’ll work out there as much as I can depending on my working schedules.

It’s awesome getting into this.

Report: Grand Theft Auto controversy doesn’t seem to want to end, video game comes out of the closet?

Rockstar games, announce the release of another Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable and payable chapter for Xbox 360 only. The chapter is titled, “The Ballad Of Gay Tony”. It’s about a nightclub owner named Tony Prince with a nickname of “Gay Tony” in the game, but it is not yet known if the character is homosexual.

More on it here:

Does this mean that Grand Theft Auto V will experiment with homosexuality in crime for the next installment of the game? It wouldn’t surprise me if it will, since homosexuality has been so huge in the mainstream these days. The GTA series are always trying something different in every game.

“Grand Theft Auto IV” was a pretty good game, only thing I don’t like about it, was that it was too easy to beat. There were only like one or two difficult missions to get by, that was it.

If Rockstar does a 5th GTA game, they should bring the Niko Bellic character back ’cause he is such a badass video game character and one of the bests created.

RIP: Exodus Tyson

Exodus Tyson, the 4 year old daughter of legendary fighter, Mike Tyson died at the hospital Monday morning.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/26/mike-tysons-daughter-dies/

While, “Iron” Mike Tyson, maybe the most hated fighter and the most hated Hollywood celebrity, he is still a human being and that is still his daughter. You should still give him and the Tyson family the respect through these difficult times.

Thoughts and prayers go out to “Iron” Mike and his family. This is heartbreaking. Accidental deaths can happen to anybody at anytime. It’s so sad when children die like that. RIP Exodus.

Lauren Jones, is a new hot babe for “The Expendables”…

This is Lauren Jones, a supermodel/actress/WWE Diva who plays Mickey Rourke’s girlfriend in, “The Expendables”. Mickey Rourke is playing a guy named, Tool, in “The Expendables”.

Finally, you get to see pics of Mickey on set for “The Expendables” in NOLA, hanging with Lauren Jones. This is what Mickey’s character looks like in the film.

Yes, she was a WWE Diva briefly between 2004-2005, she only did the Smackdown brand. She left the WWE to pursue other careers.

Yep, Sly is definitely a big fan of the WWE.

Don’t get any ideas, Sly is a married man, maybe Sly’s wife Jennifer Flavin gave him that cut in the eye after learning Sly hangs with Lauren too much.

Report: Hugh Hefner finally stepping down as owner of Playboy empire??? Virgin Media’s, Richard Branson may buy the company…

Look like the Hef is finally burnt out from Playboy after all these years of him owning the legendary magazine company. First, he put his house next door of the Playboy mansion for sale, and now he’s got the entire Playboy magazine publishing company on sale for $300 million. Rumour has it that, Virgin Media’s, Richard Branson is interested in buying it.

I think the Hef will put the Playboy mansion for sale up next sooner or later. I can understand why the Hef is getting burnt out and tired of all this work since he’s about 80 years old.

BREAKING NEWS: “Iron” Mike Tyson’s daughter found hanging on treadmill cable, still alive, but in critical condition…

The 4 year old daughter of boxing legend, “Iron” Mike Tyson, was found hanging on a treadmill cable, while she was playing alone around the mansion where the Tyson family lives. The girl’s mother was cleaning the house who sent her 7 year old son to find where he found the girl on the treadmill. She is still alive but in critical condition.

“Iron” Mike himself was not at home, but returned home asap after hearing about the accident of his daughter.

More on it here:

What a irresponsible family!!! The Tyson’s live in a huge mansion where anything could happen to those kids if they wandered off alone, not being watched by anybody.

What, Tyson’s daughter was in her playroom and she wandered off in Tyson’s gym? That’s probably what happened.

What kind of mother is she, let her play alone by herself and thinking nothing dangerous would happen. It wouldn’t surprise me if “Iron” Mike is giving his wife all kinds of shit about it.

Report: Glastonbury full lineup announced…

The Glastonbury UK music festival is announced, see the official line up here:

http://www.nme.com/news/glastonbury/44875

While Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen are both scheduled to perform on a different night, you know those two will pull on a surprise jam session where they will play guitar and sing together for a few songs. I’m sure Neil will probably perform his new album, “Fork In the Road”, in it’s entirety at Glastonbury during his set. Of course, Neil will play all of his classics too.

They can do without Lady Gaga being part of the fest, it’s not a bad lineup. I personally think Glastonbury should ditch Lady Gaga and book M.I.A instead.

Film Review: Terminator Salvation

Starring: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Helena Bonham Carter, Moon Bloodgood

Directed by: McG

Yep, so I finally went and saw “Terminator Salvation” on this great day of Memorial Day this afternoon. Here is my review…

Plot/synopsis: This is a prequel set in the future, the story set before the earlier Terminator films if this makes sense. In, “Terminator Salvation” it is set in the year 2018. A full grown John Connor is on a mission in a resistance group, to stop the terminator machines against Skynet from creating the blast, known as “Judgement Day” (a nuclear blast the machines use to eliminate humans off of planet Earth). Connor teams up with another terminator machine named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to battle against these machines, while a young Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) joins to help ’em.

It wasn’t all that bad as I thought it would be. It was a pretty fun and exciting movie, just like a typical Terminator movie. The action was fun and exciting. It was good sci fi, it reminded me of “Mad Max: The Road Warrior”.

I thought Sam Worthington made a badass Terminator machine, he was great. Anton Yelchin was a great choice for a young Kyle Reese ’cause Anton looks like a young Michael Biehn.

The Arnold appearance was really cool, although I wish they gave him just a little more screen time. Even though it was a CGI Arnold, I’m glad they gave him some action like Terminator fans would want.

McG did a good job staying true to the earlier Terminator flicks. It ain’t the best Terminator movie but I did like it. I thought it was a pretty good one. The most I was impressed with the movie is the sounds effects, this movie is going to sound awesome on a 5.1 Surround Sound system.

I’m glad to hear Linda Hamilton’s voice overs in the flick too. McG did a good job making a Terminator movie but there could be more improvements. Hopefully Arny will agree to return as the leading role for T5 when his governor run is over.

Score for “Terminator Salvation”: *** (3 stars as in “good”)
