Report: Captain Kirks and Darth Vaders to provide voice overs for 3D animated, “Quantum Quest”…

The NASA space program has announced, they are working on a 3D animated movie titled, “Quantum Quest”. NASA has recently signed the two Captain Kirk actors William Shatner and Chris Pine, also the two Darth Vader actors Hayden Christensen and James Earl Jones to provide the leading voice overs for “Quantum Quest”.

Also in the cast are: Samuel L. Jackson, Amanda Peet, Jason Alexander (“Seinfeld” actor), Sandra Oh, Mark Hamill, Spencer Breslin, and the real life astronaut, the first human being to step on the moon ever, Neil Armstrong, will also provide voice overs for this animated film.

While Shatner missed out the opportunity to star in JJ Abrams “Star Trek”, at least he’ll get the opportunity to star in a film with Chris Pine is better than nothing.

Report: Jimmy Page confirms Led Zep members will record new album and tour without Plant…

Jimmy Page’s reps confirms that himself, Jonesy and Jason Bonham will record a new studio album, and go on a long world tour in support of it. However, it still stands that Robert Plant will not rejoin them. Robert is happy with his bluegrass project with Alison and Robert are still friends with Jimmy Page and the rest of the band. Robert also gives the new band approval of going on without him.

The reason it’s taking so long for Jimmy’s new band to find a singer, is that they are looking for a perfect fit. It’s been rumoured for a long while that either Chris Cornell, Steven Tyler and Myles Kennedy could land the gig as Robert’s replacement singer. Both Jimmy and Robert has said the new band won’t be called Led Zeppelin, they’ll have a different band name.

Look like they are getting real close to announcing the replacement singer very soon! Cool. I hope Myles Kennedy isn’t the singer but I am happy about the choices of Chris Cornell and Steven Tyler.

Although Cornell denied plenty of times that he isn’t joining the new Led Zep, he could be lying possibly, so he wouldn’t give out secret surprises.

I always pictured in my head Steven Tyler the Aerosmith singer being the frontman for Led Zep, Aerosmith has covered Led Zep tunes, and Tyler sings like Plant back in the 70’s.

I hope it’s either Chris or Steven, ’cause that would be pretty cool.

Report: Patrick Swayze with pancreatic cancer, a year later and still alive!!!

In his first public interview with Barbara Walters, actor Patrick Swayze admits to being scared, angry and even wonders, “Why me?” about his pancreatic cancer. While he still has the cancer, he vows to fight it so he can survive. Although the man still has the cancer, he is still acting. Lately, he’s been working on a new TV series for A&E called “The Beast”, a drama show. He says that even though his life is in danger, he is not giving up, staying strong and still enjoying life the best he can.

I hope Patrick doesn’t die and I hope he successfully cures the cancer soon. If Patrick dies this year, I don’t know what the film and TV industry would be like without him. Lets pray for him, he’s still young and still got a lot to live for. Keep fighting it Patrick!!!

Report: NYC Supermodel, Liskula Cohen, sues google to force them to reveal who is behind anonymous blogger cyberbullying her…

Anonymous bloggers, beware. You can’t get away with anything, even on the internet and NYC supermodel Liskula Cohen, is going to make sure they don’t get away with cyberbullying harassment!!! Liskula is suing google.com who owns the blogspot internet blogs, as a way to force them to reveal who is behind the anonymous blog simply titled, “Skanks in NYC”. A blog aimed toward Liskula cyberbullying her on a public blog.

More on it here:

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1366255/model_liskula_cohen_sues_google_over.html?cat=2

See the “Skanks In NYC” blog here…

Knowing from my own experience of anonymous bloggers using blogs for cyberbullying, there is no way you can e-mail the customer service support to have it removed through blogspot. Google won’t do anything for cyberbullying anonymous blogs. That is probably what gave her no choice but to sue google. I’m glad this girl is fighting the power and doing this the hard way!!! Blogspot is a crappy blog site anyway. I hope she wins the suit and finds out who is behind it!

Yes, it may be extremely difficult and challenging to find out who is behind the anonymous “Skanks in NYC” blog, the blogger may use a proxy server so he/she wouldn’t be traced, but I’m sure there’s plenty of computer experts who work for google who will hunt down that anonymous bully in like 5 minutes!!!

Report: John and Kelly return home with Jett’s ashes…

Earlier reports said that the Travolta’s planned to bury Jett’s body in Ocala, Florida, but it looks like John and Kelly decided to cremate him instead. The results of the autopsy were not revealed to the public, it’s all up to the Travolta’s if they want to make the news public. The death certificate has seizure as the cause of death. A funeral for Jett Travolta has not yet been announced.

The Associated Press reports:

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hQFAUXVTTUsPua2j7qHWoKEDcsRAD95HMVF00

I wouldn’t blame the death on John and Kelly. I think the death was accidental. Jett wasn’t supervised by parents when he was alone in the bathroom, but come on, he’s 16 years old. Kids that age can take care of themselves without parents supervision. Accidental deaths happens, and I think that this is what it is.

You shouldn’t blame Scientology ’cause that’s idiotic, and you shouldn’t blame John and Kelly. John and Kelly don’t need to watch Jett like a hawk every move he does when he’s old enough to be by himself. Don’t jump to conclusions on to anything. People fall, people get sick, happens to people all the time. Has nothing to do with their fame or Scientology. The Travolta’s are real people like us. People makes mistakes in life, accidents happen with everybody whether you survive it or not, it’s the way life is.

Cool Video: Sly announces Ben Kingsley in “The Expendables”, comments on Travolta’s son…

Here’s another one of them paparrazzi videos where Sly is talking to the paps in Cali. In this video Sly briefly said he just signed, veteran actor, Ben Kingsley for “The Expendables”. He also comments on the death of Travolta’s son, Sly says he feels terrible for John, Sly and John has been friends for years (remember, they worked on “Staying Alive” together, Sly was the director of that film). And look at that expensive red hot car that Sly drives!!!! Wouldn’t it be cool if Sly got John Travolta a role for “The Expendables? Fuck yeah!!!! I doubt it would happen, but it would be great.

Report: JJ Abrams “Star Trek” is finally completed and ready to go!!!

JJ Abrams has finally completed, “Star Trek”. It’s all ready to go, ready to be released, and ready to be marketed!!! JJ actually completed all the scenes for the film around Christmas time. The final step was the sound editing which were done by Oscar winner Ben Burtt.

Now expect JJ himself and the cast members to start promoting the film everywhere in the media. Yes, you will probably start seeing Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, Eric Bana, etc. appearing on late night talk shows such as Jay Leno, Conan, Carson Daly, Letterman, etc. to plug in the film.

With the recent death of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, that’ll help grow some interest of non-Star Trek fans to help celebrate her work with Star Trek to see what she’s all about.

Read more about the production of “Star Trek” here:

http://trekmovie.com/2009/01/05/star-trek-post-production-complete-oscar-winner-ben-burtt-provided-sound-design/

Glad JJ finally finished the film. He’s been working on it for at least a year, I think? May 8th is about 4 months away. Just around the corner. I’m sure the movie will be a smash hit and will be the most successful “Star Trek” film ever.

Even if you’re not a “Star Trek” fan, you should really see this new film and it may want you to get into “Star Trek” more. I’m dyin’ to see this flick, ’cause I want to see Eric Bana as Nero the villain, that villain looks so freakin’ badass. Plus the entire film overall, looks so great. Can’t wait to see this movie!!!

Report: Jett’s cause of death may be kept private…

TmZ says that Jett Travolta’s autopsy is going on now as you read this, however, the Ministry of Health in the Bahamas says that the results of the autopsy may never be public to the media or anywhere. It is all up to John and Kelly, whether or not they want to make it public.

It’s been speculated that the cause of Jett’s death was because of using the wrong medications that didn’t work, he accidentally fell and hit his head against the bath tub, it was also rumoured that Jett died in John’s arms.

TmZ reports:

http://www.tmz.com/2009/01/05/jett-travolta-autopsy-may-never-be-public/

It’s understandable if they want to make the autopsy results private for themselves, it should be a family matter only. It definitely looks like to me, that Jett’s death was accidental. It looks like an accident.

If John and Kelly wants to make it public, hey, that’s their call. It’s a fact that people dying over meds is growing rapidly. Not just celebrities, real people like us too. Meds are a killer, the truth hurts. So if you’re addicted to them, get help and get off of them before they kill you.
