Report: This Thursday, Paul McCartney and Guns N’ Roses will launch their new albums on their myspace pages!!!

Leave a comment

Don’t want to wait ’til Nov. 23rd to pick up Guns N’ Roses new album “Chinese Democracy”? Don’t worry!!! Myspace confirmed they will post the full album in it’s entirety in the Guns N’ Roses official myspace page. You’ll be able to stream the album but not download.

Paul McCartney will also do the same with his new album “Electric Arguments” played by his band the Fireman. These two albums will be on myspace tomorrow on Thursday.

I’ll especially give the new Guns N’ Roses a listen tomorrow on myspace. I’ll listen to the Sir Paul one too of course, but I’m more interested in hearing the new Gn’r album. I had planned on buying the “Chinese Democracy” album and I want to listen to the whole thing first in case I want to change my mind.

I will see “Twilight” Friday afternoon…

Leave a comment

“Twilight” film finally comes out this Friday. I will go to the Wilton Mall to see it Friday afternoon on opening day.

While I’m sure there will be a bunch of teenage girls in line waiting to see the movie, I don’t care. As I always say, I don’t care what age limits the films are aimed at. I’ll go see any film that grabs my attention. No matter what genre and no matter what kind of film it is. If other people make fun of me for getting into stuff like this, I don’t care about that either. I like what I want.

I will post a review of this film. It’ll probably end up being a good film and I hope the film stays true to the novel and doesn’t change the story. The Twilight series is not just a teen romance, it has everything for everyone in it: romance, drama, horror, even violent action scenes, etc. The movie will be fun and enjoyable.

For you fathers out there who have teenagers as your kids, take your kids with ya to see this film. Even all the dads out there would probably like it. So far, the critics are giving the film positive reviews. I’m looking forward to seeing it.

The World Wrestling Entertainment has launched their very own social networking site. The company is noticing millions of WWE fans visiting myspace, facebook, etc. but the company’s goal is that they want to bring all wrestling fans to stay into one place. On the site, you get to create a profile where you get to chat with other wrestling fans online like in forums, blogs, etc.

Report: Coldplay to call it quits in 2009?

Leave a comment

Chris Martin of Coldplay revealed that he may break up his band Coldplay and call it quits in the music business. He’s only 31, and he claims he’s getting too old for music.

Come on, Chris! You’re never too old to rock! Look at Neil Young and Springsteen!

I really don’t think age has anything to do with this, I think he just wants to spend more time with his family. He must love being married to famous actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

TV

BREAKING NEWS: Two SHOCKING cast members of “Days of Our Lives” fired from the show!!! Another one also quits!!!

Leave a comment

Yep, I think I’m done watching this show for at least a while because Ken Corday who is the executive producer of “Days of Our Lives” a soap opera on NBC fired two of the most important cast members of the entire show. Deidre Hall who plays Marlena Evans and Drake Hogestyn who plays John Black have been fired from the show due to budget cuts. Expect more cast members to be fired from the show because like this article says they are getting rid of some of the cast to help out the show’s budgets. Marlena and John are one of the most popular couples of the show. And these two are one of the reasons why I watch it.

Another popular cast member Jay Kenneth Johnson who plays Phillip has quit, sources say he wasn’t happy with the pay.

So the show is getting low on money it sounds like? Is this why the show has only been renewed for only a short 18 months because of their budget?

I sadily see this show getting cancelled for good in the next year or so.

Why fire Deidre Hall and Drake when they really should fire their horrible writer, Dena Higley? Dena is the one screwing up the show so bad. I hope Deidre and Drake find more work on other TV shows. They should say the hell with NBC Daytime shows and go to primetime.

I would like to see Drake Hogestyn get more acting outside of soaps because he is an extremely talented actor, he’s one of the best I’ve seen on TV. Drake deserves to be on one of them primetime TV shows like star in “Law & Order” or “CSI” or something.

Maybe “Days” ought to get cancelled. If the show wants to get popular and get high in ratings again, they need to have better writing, and better acting with some of the cast members as well. Drake getting fired is a travesty. Shame on you, Mr. Corday!!!!!

Report: Guitar World picks their top 20 hottest female guitarists…

Leave a comment

Guitar World magazine picked their top 20 hottest female guitarists. Be aware, that the whole point of this top list is that they are judging by the looks, they are not judging by the musical talent of the female guitarist herself, just her hot looks.

Check out the list here:

http://www.guitarworld.com/top_20_hottest_female_guitarists

Not a bad list, but they should take off Courtney Love. She’s not even hot or cute looking at all.

I can’t believe they left off Sheryl Crow!!! She’s an important guitarist in the industry who has it all, the sexy looks, the talent, all of it. Shame on Guitar World for leaving her out! BOO!!

Thought: The new “Star Trek” movie, how will it do in box office? Will it be the most successful Star Trek film ever?

Leave a comment

The most successful Star Trek movie out of them all, the one that made the most was “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”, the Star Trek movie that bombed was “Star Trek – Nemesis”. I’m reffering to the overall amount of money the films grossed, not talking about the opening weekends.

As you can see…

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=startrek.htm

Most of the Star Trek movies are pretty successful.

What do you think? Do you think the new “Star Trek” movie with JJ Abrams will top “Star Trek IV”?

I predict yes, definitely. As you see in the link all the Star Trek movies didn’t do well in it’s first opening weekend, but I am predicting the new Star Trek movie will be a huge money maker in it’s opening weekend. We all know that JJ Abrams “Star Trek” will make more than 70 million in it’s opening weekend or way more. That’s exactly how it’s going to top “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” gross wise.

JJ Abrams just saved Star Trek. He’s going to revive the series totally. Bring the series to a positive note. JJ Abrams is attracting a lot of people who aren’t even Star Trek fans at all to see the film anyways. So this new film is obviously going to be HUGE!!!!

The new film will do fine without William Shatner in it. It won’t bomb without Shatner, trust me on this. This movie help made Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana huge stars, these young actors weren’t too well known before and they are getting well known quick!!!

While I do love most Star Trek films, there is one out of the 10 that I don’t like. The only one I thought that sucked was “Star Trek: Insurrection” but the rest of ’em are great in my opinion. Yes, I even liked “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” although many people said that was the worst Trek film.

The Star Trek franchise is great. I’ve always loved it! The series deserve to get successful and huge for once and JJ Abrams will make that happen. Watch out George Lucas!!!
