Confirmed: Taylor Lautner reprising role for Jacob Black in “New Moon”!!!!!!

Leave a comment

Director Chris Weitz who is helming “New Moon”, the Twilight sequel, announced Taylor Launter will be reprising his role as Jacob Black. At first, Summit Entertainment were trying to decide whether or not they should have Taylor return as Jacob Black, but it was said that Stephenie Meyer first brought up the decision. She talked Chris Weitz into signing Taylor.

From Stephenie Meyer’s official website:

Great news!! I thought Taylor made a perfect Jacob Black and don’t see that character being replaced. Taylor should play Jacob in all 4 Twilight movies. Kudos for Stephenie for saving Taylor’s job!! That shows how cool she really is!

Thought: Why Patrick Swayze is important to the movie industry and why things won’t be the same without him…

If Patrick Swayze dies this year or next, then Hollywood is officially done. Swayze is important to the movie industry. Like him or hate him. He has starred in some very important films that changed Hollywood film forever. With essential films like “The Oustsiders”, “Dirty Dancing”, “Ghost”, “Point Break”, “Road House”, “Donnie Darko”, and some other films. An important actor that inspired and influenced all. He touched many hearts with his films and played important roles.

Sure, we’re all going to die one day, but you would want a good time and a good way to go out. Dying of pancreatic cancer this early is not a good way to go out. Especially when Patrick is an important figure in the entertainment industry, that’s why he is made a big deal in the news.

Hollywood almost died when Heath Ledger left us, and if Patrick is next, then I don’t know where Hollywood would be. Seriously think about it. Patrick needs to stay alive. We all need to be positive about him and wish him well. He is an important guy that don’t need to leave us this soon. He has a lot to live for, not just for his life and his family, but the entertainment industry needs him as well. He’s the man responsible that brought hollywood movies to what it is today. Hollywood won’t be the same without him, really, trust me on this.

Leave a comment

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…

Leave a comment

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.

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…

Leave a comment

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:

See the “Skanks In NYC” blog here…

http://skanksnyc.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=5

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…

Leave a comment

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…

Leave a comment

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.
