Report: What about Bill? He ain’t afraid of no skydiving…

Leave a comment

After going through a nasty divorce battle, it didn’t take long for Bill Murray to put his divorce with his latest wife behind him and move forward to have some fun! Bill Murray decided to go sky diving 13,000 feet in the air in Chicago, Illinois. He went with the US Army Golden Knights sky diving team.

He was real nervous of doing it but the man had a blast, he landed safely on a Chicago beach. At the beach a crowd was watching as celebrity actors were putting on musical performances such as Brady Bunch actress singing the National Anthem and Gary Sinise’s rock band, the Lt. Dan Band.

Bill Murray is a former star of Saturday Night Live and starred in many blockbuster films such as “Stripes”, “Ghostbusters 1 and II”, “Groundhog Day”, “What About Bob”, “The Royal Tennenbaums”, “Lost in Translation”, and the list can go on.

Report: Tom Cruise is now the main boss at United Artists studios since Paula Wagner departure…

Leave a comment

Paula Wagner may no longer work for UA but that doesn’t mean Tom Cruise is out of the job. Tom Cruise is now the main manager/boss at United Artists film company that was runned by both Tom Cruise himself and Paula Wagner. United Artists is a film production company that is owned by MGM studios. Paula Wagner announced she is leaving the company and MGM studios has allowed Tom Cruise to take over the companies lead in his full control.

MGM is impressed with his work for the company and proud of his profesionalism.

I see Tom Cruise using that company to release all of his new movies with, and he’s already doing that with “Valkyrie”. He’s only working there to help save his movie career since Paramount no longer wants him.

CD Review: Rihanna “Good Girl, Gone Bad: Reloaded”

5 Comments

I just got done listening to Rihanna’s re-release of “Good Girl, Gone Bad: Reloaded” and wanted to give this one a quick review, this album has been re-released with a few new tracks added.

I am not into pop music hardily at all. I hate the genre so much in fact but there are a few exceptional pop artists out there that I’ll admit to enjoy listening to, for example, I enjoy pop artists such as Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys and now Rihanna is one of them.

A lot of famous rock musicians have been giving Rihanna lots of praises to her music. And after hearing this album, I can see why. This album is pop and R&B influenced, sure, but the songs on this album are actually pretty tight, they have a rock and roll feeling to them. I actually enjoy almost every song on the disc. You’ve heard her song “Umbrella” which is what she is mostly known for, her hit with Jay Z but the entire album has better songs than “Umbrella”. Rihanna have once explained she is a fan of rock music and she wanted to blend all that with pop. I think she is successful at that.

She maybe a gorgeous and beautiful looking girl but she is one of the very few talented pop stars in today’s music industry. She does a cover song “Don’t Stop the Music” that is actually pretty good. Rihanna’s vocals are fun and catchy, and every song is pretty upbeat, I don’t think there is one slow ballad.

I was surprised by the album and I actually really liked this one. Not excellent but real real good. Whether you’re a pop fan or not, I would reccomend you give this one a listen.

Score for Rihanna’s “Good Girl, Gone Bad: Reloaded” = *** (3 stars as in good)

Report: DNA proves Big Foot in freezer is fake…

Leave a comment

Yep, like I said a few times before those two men who found a so called Big Foot are a couple of delusional guys looking for media attention. The picture of a Big Foot you see in a freezer is nothing more of a gorilla costume and it was mixed with human and DNA came from an animal called an opposum. Of course, Biscardi and the two men continue to maintain what they found was real, they claim the DNA wasn’t taken correctly. An autopsy is still being planned.

Those two fools better give up and admit it’s fake before we find out ourselves.

BREAKING NEWS: Michael Phelps ties with Mark Spitz record…

Leave a comment

The young Michael Phelps made history in the Olympics again tonight, tying with Mark Spitz’s record of 50.8 in the 100 meter butterfly race earlier tonight. At first, swimmer Milorad Cavic of Serbia was ahead but Phelps quickly caught up with Cavic and both of them raced to the end. Phelps just touched the wall to get the win just before Cavic made it on the last minute. It was a close race and Phelps came this close to being no. 2.

Phelps is done racing in the individual races but there’s always the next Olympics to break more records and win more golds.

It was a good race. I’m watching the Olympics now as I’m typing this.

Report: “Twilight” changes release date to Nov. 21st…

Leave a comment

Are you looking forward to seeing the teen vampire flick “Twlight” so much that you think December 12th is so long to wait? Don’t fear! The film “Twilight” has just changed it’s release date to Nov. 21st of this year since the new Harry Potter film was pushed back.

The reason for the move is that they want fans of the book to get an opportunity to see the film earlier since it’s popularity of the book at Comic Con and “Breaking Dawn” being a best seller.
