Actually the LAPD did confirm the photo is real at TMZ, reports going around that Rihanna’s Dad isn’t happy about it either. I hope Rihanna and her family sues that fucking website, TMZ.
I don’t think the family needed to see that pic and neither the public. I didn’t want to see what her beaten face looks like? Why would anyone?
Boycott TMZ. Mr. Levin calls himself a lawyer? Idiot.

Actually, I’ll admit that the reason I haven’t been out to support the music scene lately (if there is a scene anyway), or playing my own shows in a long time is that I am actually thinking about giving it up.
I’ll never quit guitar playing, that I’ll always do for the rest of my life. Just not being any part of the local music scene. Sorry, but I have lost a lot of interest in it over the years. Local music is no fun anymore. Boring. Predictable. Too much negativity and hateful people out there. I can go on. They all call themselves “profesionals” and I don’t see profesionals out there at all.
It’s not the music scene on why I’m thinking about giving it up, it’s all about a change in my life. Concentrating on life is more important than music. Making your life better comes first before fun stuff. That’s what I’m mostly concentrating on.
I haven’t played a live gig in almost a year, and that’s a clear sign that I’m thinking about giving it up. Of course, I’ll always still write songs and put ’em online for all to hear, but performing live music around this area isn’t that thrilling as other local bands around here are making it out to be. The internet is a good tool to release your music and get yourself heard, so I’ll just leave it at that.

More great news, Linda Hamilton who played Sarah Connor in the first two Terminator films, just might return to the fourth installment to reprise her iconic role, in McG’s “Terminator: Salvation”. Only thing is though, Linda herself won’t be appearing on screen at all, she’s only doing voice overs. As in, telling the story of her son John Connor.
From MTV Movies Blog:
Hopefully Linda will agree to do it. I remember over the years, she made a vow that she wouldn’t do another Terminator movie without Jimmy Cameron. Maybe she changed her mind somehow?
If they can’t get her, maybe McG will go after Lena Headey from the “Sarah Connor Chronicles” TV show?

Did you know that behind the scenes of the WWE that Vince McMahon tries to get Hulk Hogan to perform a match at Wrestlemania every year? Yep, I believe it’s true. They are trying to get Hogan to fight John Cena at Wrestlemania 25 this year.
Honestly, I kind of lost my respect to the Hulkster since the Nick Hogan crash controversy, and the Linda/Hulk divorce battle. I don’t care to see Hulk Hogan in WWE anymore. Now he’s out doing some stupid reality show with Eric Bischoff, that I’ve been reading about, a celebrity wrestling kind of thing or something.
Stone Cold being at Wrestlemania 25 is fine with me, ’cause I actually am a longtime Stone Cold fan and still am. The Hulkster’s an asshole, and a douchebag. He lives in his own world that he thinks he invented profesional wrestling when that isn’t true at all.
Wrestlemania 25 will do fine without Hulk Hogan. I’m fine with the other legends from the past being a part of the show but anybody except Hulkamania. Hulk ruined his own life. Screwed his own family, screwed his own career. He went from big profesional legend to a sore loser.
I don’t ever want to see Hogan in WWE ever again, so I hope and pray that he says no to being at Wrestlemania again this year.

Definitely looks like another fake to me:

If it is real, shame on TmZ for posting it. Bastards.

Heath was once nominated for “Brokenback Mountain” in 2005, but he never got the win. Could the same happen this year? This is one of the award categories that can be unpredictable. Never assume that Heath Ledger could automatically get the win because of his death.
Could this be Robert Downey Jr’s lucky day and he could actually win for his role in “Tropic Thunder”? Could Josh Brolin get the lucky win for “Milk”? What about Phillip Seymour Hoffman for “Doubt”, or Michael Shannon for “Revolutionary Road”? Any of the other guys can get it.
It all depends on the most votes the Academy gave them the win for. If Robert Downey Jr. wins this, that would be shocking.
If Heath Ledger doesn’t win, then I think that’s what he would have wanted. I’ve read somewhere that he never really wanted to be an Oscar winner? I remember reading somewhere on the internet that Heath was relieved that he didn’t win for “Brokenback Mountain” for some reason. If Heath doesn’t win, then it’s no big deal for me and I’ll take it for what it is.
I’m sure there’ll be an angry public outrage by Batman fans if Heath doesn’t win but if you use a little common sense, if Heath was still alive today, he would think his performance is better than getting an Oscar nomination. So, he wouldn’t worry about losing an Oscar again. I don’t think he ever wanted to be an Oscar winner like he once said, so treat his true wishes with heart and respect.

With the Oscars just around the corner, I’ve decided to do more research on A.R. Rahman to learn more about the guy and to hear this guy’s other music. This guy is cool, check him out. If you want to buy A.R. Rahman’s albums, you would probably find him in the “World Music” section in your local record store since he is from India. He’s an electronic and pop musician but still pretty cool. I’m sure A.R. will put on some great live performances at the Oscars this Sunday too. Watch and you’ll see why. Like what you see? Type up his name in youtube and you’ll come across all kinds of live footage from his concerts.
Kev
Listen to the track and feel free to judge whether you think it’s Oscar worthy. It’s a cool and unique song in my opinon. “Jai Ho” was written by an Indian musician named., A.R. Rahman. He’ll probably be the big winner at the Oscars this Sunday. Check the song below…

Conan fans! To those worry about if Conan’s move to the “Tonight Show” will get Max Weinberg’s band and Conan seperated, that is NOT going to happen. On last night’s episode of Conan O’ Brien, Conan made it clear that each member of the Max Weinberg 7 band are moving to California permanently to still do the “Tonight Show” with Conan. So that’s great news to hear! I can’t see these two apart ’cause that would be weird.
More unsanswered questions that still need to be confirmed about Conan’s new show:
1) Will he still have Triumph the Insult Dog?
2) Will his jokes still be as funny on “The Late Show”, will he be forced to keep his jokes Jay Leno style when he moves to the “Tonight Show”? (I hope not, I’m sure he’ll still be the same old Conan he’s always been)
3) Will the “Tonight Show” still let Conan talk to impersonator Arnold on TV
So much more questions that still needs answers.
I’ve been watching Conan O’ Brien all week, every night. Only 2 more episodes left, tonight and tomorrow, that’s it. The White Stripes have been confirmed as the musical guest of the show for Friday’s last show.

Well this is it folks. The moment movie fans have been waiting for. The Oscars are this Sunday, Feb. 22nd. Yes, I will be watching.
Here are my final and last predictions. I know I did this once before but I want to do mine all over again. I will only do the top categories.
My Oscar predictions:
Best Actor in a Leading Role: Mickey Rourke, “The Wrestler”
Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Heath Ledger, “The Dark Knight”
Best Actress in a Leading Role: Two way tie between Kate Winslet, “The Reader”, or Angelina Jolie, “The Changeling”. If I would pick one, it would probably end up being Kate Winslet.
Best Actress in a Supporting Role: Marisa Tomei, “The Wrestler”
Best Animated Featured film: “Wall-E”, hands down.
Best Directing: Danny Boyle, “Slumdog Millionaire”.
Music (Score): Slumdog Millionaire
Music (Song): “Jai Ho” Slumdog Millionaire, this the song played at the end of “Slumdog Millionaire” where Dev Petel and Freida Pinto were dancing with a huge amount of people at a subway station while the credits were rolling. Sorry Peter Gabriel, but I think “Jai Ho” will be the big winner. I’m willing to bet you, Dev and Freida will do a live dance performance on stage at the Oscars for this song as well.
Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire…this will hands down win “Best Picture” category no matter what happens. I haven’t seen all the movies nominated for “Best Picture”, Slumdog is the only one I’ve seen and I can easily see this film being the big Oscar winner. Slumdog Millionaire is such an incredible, amazing and phenonemal film that I don’t see how anyone can not like this movie. I will definitely be watching this on DVD a lot when it comes out. I still feel kind of bad for Dev Petel not getting nominated for “Best Actor” or Freida Pinto getting snubbed for “Best Actress”, those two were really great in this film and it’s the best acting I’ve seen in years. Not bad for two actors who has never had an acting role in their lives before. 🙂
Well there you have it, my final and last of the Oscar predictions.
