She will continue to play on “Law and Order: SVU” the rest of the season as she is expected to recover quickly. This news was announced by Dick Wolf, the creator of the “Law and Order” TV series.

Lungs collapses are no fun. Glad she’s okay. I’ve always liked her character on Law and Order SVU, she is also a pretty cute looking woman for her age as well.

Report: Virgin Megastore in Times Square, NYC to close down for good…

Billboard reports that the “Virgin Megastore” in Times Square, New York City is closing down this coming April. The “Virgin Megastore” is a huge store that goes three floors down, they have escalators and everything. It sells everything in the entertainment biz: music, movies, video games, etc.

The New Yorker’s who live in that great city may now have to shop for music at the Union Square store. The decision for closing the “Virgin Megastore” in New York had something to do with the real estate, and the value connected to the location.

Honestly, I must say…..good riddance. When I was just in New York City at Times Square earlier this year, I shopped at that “Virgin Megastore” in Times Square, and to be honest, I hated the store. It’s too huge. It took me two escalators down to get to the DVD section and took me a while to go back up and out of the store with the huge crowd of people in there.

Times Square in New York has a lot of cool stores to shop at, but the “Virgin Megastore” isn’t one of them.

Confirmed: Jackie Chan in for “The Karate Kid” remake, set to portray Mr. Miyagi…

Martial arts master and action movie star, Jackie Chan, is in final negotiations to star in “The Karate Kid” remake being developed by Columbia Pictures. Chan will be portraying the legendary role of Mr. Miyagi, Daniel Larusso’s trainer. Jaden Smith, who is Will Smith’s real life son will be playing Larusso.

The plot/synopsis to the “Karate Kid” remake will be similar to the original film, where a young boy moves to a new town, goes to a new school, gets bullied by bigger kids in school, the boy decides to learn karate to defend himself. I’m sure Jaden and Jackie will not have the Daniel and Mr. Miyagi names in the film, I’m sure the character names in the remake will be different. The film is being directed by Harald Zwart.

As long as Jackie Chan is going to be in this, I’ll see this in theater. I love Jackie Chan movies.

Hopefully there’ll be a Ralph Macchio cameo in this film as well!

Report: Samantha Geimer still wants Polanski rape case dropped and continues to defend the pedophile film maker…

Just look at that smile, that’s Samantha Geimer, Roman Polanski’s rape victim whom he had sex with 31 years ago at Jack Nicholson’s home. In the film “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired”, she begged the case to be dropped. That film recently called out Roman Polanski to fight for his innocence and U.S. freedom. Samantha Geimer is begging this case to be dropped again, by lashing out at the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office accusing them of playing a joke on her and making fun of her with this case.

A hearing for Polanski’s request for motion of dismssal is still set for Jan. 21st, however, it still stands that Polanski will be arrested immediately if he lays a foot anywhere on the U.S. country.

The Associated Press reports:

And now Polanski says he has no plans in returning to the US ever:

Polanski would return to the US if he was allowed, the fuckin’ coward just doesn’t want to go to prison!!!

I used to feel sorry for Samantha in the past, but NOW I am thinking that stupid woman actually enjoyed those times she had with Polanski 31 years ago. There’s something deep down inside of her head, that she actually loves the stupid bastard!

BREAKING NEWS: Stone Cold Steve Austin inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame!!!

It finally happened. Stone Cold Steve Austin aka The Texas Rattlesnake has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He will be inducted in his homestate of Texas, the night before Wrestlemania 25 on April 4th at Houston’s Toyota Center.

Stone Cold has been known as a beer drinking redneck who had many classic matches, memorable storylines/feuds, and most of all, he is most well known for feuding with Mr. McMahon which never seems to end.

Expect Stone Cold to make some kind of appearance at Wrestlemania 25 like be special guest refferee again or maybe even wrestle his final and last match. The Vince vs. Stone Cold feud is pretty important to the wrestling industry because that feud helped WWE become more mainstream in the first place.

They still need to induct the Rock and the Undertaker, hope those two guys will be inductees this year as well!!

Mickey Rourke photo at Golden Globes…

I think this is the only photo of a celeb that’s worth posting in this blog from last night’s Golden Globes. I also think Mickey wins for best fashion award out of all celebs who dressed up last night. Just look at him? Doesn’t he look like a fucking bad ass or what? Mickey looks like an actual profesional wrestler even though he isn’t one in real life. That’s what amazing about him.

I always saw Mickey Rourke as a very talented actor and it’s about fuckin’ time he’s got the recognition he deserves!!! I don’t think Mickey will keep that badass look for long, ’cause I think he just did it for his movie “The Wrestler”. He does look fuckin’ cool though.

Report: Heath’s Golden Globe trophy belongs to daughter Matilda now…

Heath’s mother says the late actor’s daughter will be keeping the award that the legendary actor won from last night’s Golden Globe awards. Heath won of course for Best Supporting Actor for “The Dark Knight” as the Joker. I would imagine that the Oscar that Heath will probably win will be going to Matilda as well.

More on it here:

http://www.accesshollywood.com/heath-ledgers-daughter-to-receive-his-golden-globe-award_article_13023

That’s a good thing they are doing and a perfect way for Matilda to get to know her father as she gets older.

When Heath picks up his Oscar award, Christopher Nolan shouldn’t pick it up for him. Who should? No one other than Matilda herself. It would be so cute to see Michelle walk up on stage with Matilda to pick up Heath’s Oscar. Matilda should go on stage at the Oscars to pick up Heath’s award. I doubt it would happen but it would be a very touching moment for the Oscars. The Oscar statue maybe a little heavy for a little girl to pick up but I”m sure award presenters or Michelle will help her out.
