Report: The Next Generation cast not in J.J. Abrams, “Star Trek”…

For those wondering if any of the “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, cast will appear in cameos in J.J. Abrams upcoming new “Star Trek” film, don’t get your hopes up. It’s not going to happen. You will not see Picard, Riker, Data, Geordi, Dr. Crusher, Worf, or Deanna Troi in the new film at all. The closest you’ll ever see them participate in the new “Star Trek” film, is read the prequel countdown comics, they are in there.

The only Trek cast member from the past that WILL have a role in the new “Star Trek” film is of course, no one other than Leonard Nimoy as the adult Spock. The old Spock is not just a cameo in the new film, J.J. said he’s in pretty much throughout the entire film.

Will “The Next Generation” cast ever have a new Star Trek film in the future? It’s very unlikely ’cause the actors in the cast has moved on to new careers. I don’t see them going back to Star Trek anytime soon. I’m sure “The Next Generation” cast will probably be at J.J. Abrams “Star Trek” premiere to see the film there.

Report: Faces reunion rumours, inspires real Faces reunion…but needs Rod Stewart’s approval first…

While there is no chance of a full time Faces reunion, there is still a possibility of a part time Faces reunion. All those rumours of Rod Stewart and Flea (Chilli Peppers bassist) reuniting the band, inspired keyboardist Ian McLagan to make the actual reunion happen for real. McLagan said he talked to the rest of the band members at lunch in London, so it seems the other guys in the band are down with the reunion.

They asked Rod Stewart to join them, and they are waiting for a return call by Rod to see if Rod wants to join in on the reunion. The plan is to play a couple of concerts and film them for a live video.

Billboard reports:

Come on, Rod! Say yes to joining them! Keep our fingers crossed!

I know Rod Stewart’s solo music isn’t for everyone, I don’t care for his solo music either, but I’ll say it again, I loved him in the Faces though. The Faces were a pretty tight kick ass in your face blues rock band. The Faces were great!

I hope they come back for this one time! This is one reunion to actually care about!

Report: Losing my respect to China, country bans Oasis from playing there…

Those fuckin’ Chinese. Are they going to hate on any musician or famous person because they had something to do with “Tibet”? WTF?

The famous UK rock band, Oasis, has two concerts booked in China, but the Chinese government revoked the band’s performance license so they won’t be allowed to play in their country during their world tour. The Chinese government told Ticketmaster China to cancel those two shows. One was booked at the Beijing’s Capital Arena and the other at the Shanghai Grand Stage.

The reason? They discovered that Noel Gallagher played a free Tibet solo concert on Randall’s Island in New York City back in 1997.  The Chinese also attacked Icelandic singer, Bjork, for her Tibet chants in her concerts over there as well.

The band responded back saying they are dissapointed and hopes they’ll change their mind about this.

Oasis has been a favorite band of mine for years, and they still are. Let them play in China!!!!

I’m sick of China’s hatred at people from other countries!!! The world doesn’t revolve around you!

Cool Video: New “Terminator: Salvation” trailer with a lot more footage…

Very cool, “Terminator: Salvation” trailer here. Looks amazing, I’m dying to see this flick now. You see, just because McG did the first two “Charlie’s Angels” movies, does not mean he will ruin Terminator. 🙂 I think McG is a fine film maker. I actually enjoy the two “Charlie’s Angels” flicks too.

Enjoy the new T-4 trailer here:

Definitely looking forward to this one.

Thanks to America for not supporting the Jonas Brothers movie…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Finally! The tweens gets bombed in America with the Jonas Brothers concert movie only making 12.7  million while “Madea Goes to Jail” did surprisingly well in the box office.

The Jonas Brothers suck. A fake tweeny band manufactured and put together by Disney.  I’m sick of these fictional and fake acts like Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, etc. getting the fame. The music industry is so fake as shit these days. It’s sad. The music industry is dead. To me, it doesn’t exist anymore. I stopped obsessing with the music industry ever since Kurt Cobain killed himself.

Smackdown in Glens Falls, N.Y. review…

Just got back from Smackdown in Glens Falls, N.Y. It wasn’t a televised event either. There were no cameras surrounding the ring like the usual and there were no announcer table. Do you know what that means? That means that this Smackdown show was a “House” show. A “house” show is a type of wrestling show in WWE that is not televised. I don’t think WWE would televise a live event in a small city like Glens Falls anyways. If Smackdown was in Albany, N.Y. at the Times Union Center that’s when they’ll televise it.

Superstars that were there tonight: Carlito, Kizarny, Chavo Guerrero, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, The Great Khali, Shelton Benjamin, Maria Kinellis, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Vladmir Kozlov, etc.

There were no big names tonight. No Edge, no Big Show, no Undertaker. Not even “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan.

The main event of the night was Jeff Hardy vs. Vladmir Kozlov (the Russian wrestler). Jeff Hardy of course won the match with a Matt Hardy interference.

The Great Khali had a match against Shelton Benjamin for the USA title, of course Shelton won by disqualification. Seeing the Great Khali live in person, holy fucking SHIT!!! This GUY is a fucking MONSTER! He is huge! On TV, The Great Khali may not seem as big, but if you see him in person, he is a GIANT. When the Great Khali was shaking fans hands around the ring after the match got over with, I got to shake Khali’s hand. His hand is huge and when he takes your hand, it’s almost like a tight grip. Amazing guy, Khali is.

I got to shake Jeff Hardy’s hand too, when he was going around shaking fans hands so that was cool. Where did I sit? I did get ringside tickets, I was sitting on the floor pretty close to the ring actually. You can stand close to the ring as superstars are entering and exiting matches, but you can’t stand in front of the ring during the match though.

I got pictures of the show and got some good close ups of Chavo Guerrero, Khali, Vladmir, Jeff Hardy, and Shelton Benjamin.

After the show got over with, we went to the back of the Civic Center ’cause there was a huge line of fans waiting for the superstars to exit the building to get in their cars. We did see one superstar get in the car and leave, it was Brian Kendrick. Yes, I did see Brian Kendrick get in a black car with a Vermont license plate, he just got in and took off. It was kind of funny.

It wasn’t a bad show. It was ok and pretty good. I did have fun seeing superstars in person and up close though. I’ll post pictures of the show tomorrow. Hopefully they did come out good.

Report: Slash’s wife, Perla, slams Axl Rose in return…defends husband…

As Slash’s wife, Perla, is discussing her hernia surgery in her official myspace page, she attacks Axl Rose in return to defend her husband, Saul Hudson (aka Slash). She calls Axl a loser and tells him to say all that stuff to Slash’s face like a real man. De ja vu? That’s what I said in my blog.

See her blog here:

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=400656533&blogId=473689470

I do like Guns N’ Roses and the new “Chinese Democracy” album, but I do think Axl Rose is a douchebag as well.

Slash should sue his ass for slander and libel!

My thoughts on Chris Brown and Rihanna getting back together…

I do know that the entire world of the internet is angry at this. On how Rihanna won’t press charges on Chris, then she gets back together with him instead. Then you read the news that Rihanna’s father is all up for them getting back together.

But you know what? I agree with Rihanna’s father. They’re a couple with an on and off relationship. There’s plenty of couples that have an on and off relationship, they break up and get back together, break up and get back to gether, happens all the time.

It could be about the money and fame that they’re addicted to each other with, sure, but what they do is their business not ours.

The question is, why would a couple get back together after the guy has beaten her so badily? The simple answer is, that things change. You can put things behind you very quickly and move forward. Chris is taking anger management class, I read about, and that’s probably what made Rihanna get back to him because he agreed to make his life better.

Whatever these celebrity couples do is their business, and you have no right to get into it. Stop obsessing with celebrities lives, when you should be the one concentrating on your own life and your own family.
