Report: Craigslist sued by Sheriff in hopes of stopping online prostitution…

Leave a comment

A Cook County Sheriff, from Chicago, Illinois, Sheriff Tom Dart has filed a federal lawsuit against craigslist today. Craigslist is a popular no holds barred anonymous classified advertisement site. While you can use the site to advertise a variety of things, the most traffic the site gets is the “personals” section where people host erotic services.

The Sheriff wants craigslist to eliminate the erotic services promotion, and I agree.

The Associated Press reports:

Why do people like that site so much? Beats me. I personally think everybody just uses that site hoping to get laid.

I tried using that site a little bit, but I think I’m going to stop. Craigslist is not a good site at all. Beats me as to why the site made “Best Local Website” in the Metroland in the earlier “Best of’s”. The site is actually full of pathetic anonymous losers.

I hope that Sheriff guy wins the suit and the site gets taken off the net. There’s no real people there anyway. It not only attracts prostitutes/hookers, it’s also a big target for scammers, and bots promoting other websites.

If you want to meet people, craigslist is not a good place to do it, I’ve just discovered. Have some confidence, get brave and meet people in the real world, that’s what I vow to do. Craigslist is actually a dangerous website, I wouldn’t post there anymore.

Cool Video: Michael Jackson in person at the O2 arena, press conference…

Leave a comment

Here is Jacko’s press conference at the O2 arena. Yes, this is the real Michael Jackson himself on stage, unmasked and all. While I am a fan of Jacko’s music, I must say that he does look like a fucking freak! Maybe Jacko would be Heath Ledger’s replacement as the Joker for the next Dark Knight film, HA! It’s amazing to me that people still love Jacko after all these years, man, look at all these crazed fans screaming for the guy. Did Jacko just announce a retirement from music? He just said, “This is it” and the O2 shows will be his last of his performances.

Enjoy the video below…

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Brown charged with 2 felonies!!!

Leave a comment

While Rihanna is refusing to press charges on her woman beating boyfriend, Chris Brown, this is still not stopping the D.A. to press charges on him. He has been charged with 2 felonies, if found guilty, the rapper could face four years and 8 months in prison.

TMZ reports:

While this is good news, I don’t see Chris Brown being put away. Riri and her father would probably defend the guy when they testify, so he can walk with no problem.

Cool Video: New “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” trailer!!!

Leave a comment

The new trailer for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” is here! The reason the final trailer took so long to release, because there were some re-shoots of certain scenes after they finished the film.

Enjoy it here:

Report: Michael Jackson announces 10 shows at the O2 arena in July…

Leave a comment

Michael Jackson is scheduled to perform 10 dates at the O2 arena in July. Michael Jackson, the man himself, is expected to appear in person to make the announcement at the O2 Arena later today.

NME.com reports:

It’s understandable why he would want to play so many shows at the same venue instead of going on a world tour. I wonder if he’ll perform his entire song catalog throughout those ten dates? It’s probably what’s going to happen if he can’t think of other songs to do. He probably has new material up his sleeve too.

Report: Dakota Fanning in talks to play Cheri Currie, frontwoman of “The Runaways”…

Leave a comment

Teen star, Dakota Fanning is in talks to play the leading role as Cheri Currie frontwoman of “The Runaways”, the biopic of the all girl punk rock band from the 70’s. Before you go thinking that Dakota Fanning is too young to be playing Cheri Currie, since Dakota is now 15 years old, Cheri was about her age around the time she was in the band.

“Twilight’s” Kristen Stewart is set to play Joan Jett in, “The Runaways” movie.

Interesting casting so far. I can’t wait to see who they’re going to get for Lita Ford, that will be interesting.

The Runaways, rocked.

WWE news

Report: Three main event matches for “Wrestlemania 25” confirmed!!!

7 Comments

At Wrestlemania 25 this year, there will be three huge main event matches. The headlining main event will be “Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the WWE Champ”, then there is “Big Show vs. Edge for the Heavyweight title”, and then there is, “Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker”.

This means that John Cena does not have a match yet, leaving him options that he could wrestle against either Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hogan and Austin are both rumoured to be wrestling at ‘Mania this year, but not against each other. If Hogan is confirmed to wrestle John Cena this year, then Stone Cold will probably wrestle Jericho. Those are just rumoured plans for ‘Mania, but the confirmed matches above are definitely happening.

BREAKING NEWS: Leonardo Dicaprio to star the lead in “Inception”, a film by Christopher Nolan…

Leave a comment

Leonardo Dicaprio is in final negotiations to star in “Inception”, a sci-fi action film written and will be directed by Christopher Nolan (director of “Batman: Begins”/”The Dark Knight”). The film, “Inception”, will be released through Warner Bros. pictures. The plot is kept under wraps and will not reveal what character Leo Dicaprio is playing at this time.

Variety Reports:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118000802.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

What a nice ploy for another box office hit. Will this film be another all star cast like most Christopher Nolan films are?

Who else do you think Nolan will get to star alongside Dicaprio?

My money is on Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, and maybe Maggie Gyllenhaal as the female lead?

The cast to this film maybe interesting.
