Report: Former Smashing Pumpkins members sue Virgin records…

Wow! The Smashing Pumpkins really do have some beef against the Virgin Records label do they? Billy Corgan is not the only one who sued the label, James Iha and D’arcy Wretzky-Brown is suing the label too, the two former members are accusing the label of not paying them their profits when they signed the deal with Billy Corgan. It is for downloads and other digital material of the Smashing Pumpkins music such as Itunes  and sites like those.

Why is money so important to these rock stars? If that was me, I wouldn’t care. I’d be flattered if my songs were sold digitally if I was a famous rock star, but unfortunately to these two, it’s understandable why they want their money from Virgin since they are no longer in the band. When was the last time you saw James Iha or D’arcy do something musically? Nothing from what I see.

Report: Stefano Dimera returning to “Days of Our Lives” in August…

From left to right: EJ Wells (played by James Scott), Stefano Dimera (played by Joseph Mascolo), and Tony Dimera (played by Thao Penghlis)

According to various sources in the world of Soap Opera news, the Phoenix is returning!!! Stefano Dimera is confirmed to be returning to “Days of Our Lives” in early August, first return date is marked Aug. 4th.

Stefano will be back to get his revenge on who ever put him in a coma and all hell will break loose in Salem once again. The question is, what would Stefano’s feelings would be when he finds out that John Black now owns the Dimera mansion? Would Stefano like the idea of John allowing Marlena, Sami, and EJ all living in the Dimera mansion? This ought to be interesting.

For fans of the show, I know there are some out there, just wanted to give you a heads up. The shows been kind of boring without him and Stefano’s one of the reasons I started watching the show several years ago. He’s one of the baddest TV villains ever.

Stefano Dimera has been a popular character on the show for a long time.

George just loves the attention and the money doesn’t he? It’s amazing to me how he never gets bored with Star Wars after working on the films pretty much his entire life.

Thought: Could the “Dark Knight” actually beat “Titanic”?

Variety reports that “The Dark Knight” made a sky rocketing $300 million so far. “The Dark Knight” is “still” filling up theaters. The theater was full the second time I saw it in theater again.

Lets pray that “The Dark Knight” passes 600 million to knock “Titanic” off of there!

That would be amazing!

Report: MGM confirms “Robocop” reboot…

MGM studios has just greenlighted to reboot the “Robocop” franchise. Rumours been going strong for a long while that this was a “Robocop” remake. Film maker Darren Aronofsky confirmed it wasn’t a remake, it is actually another sequel, more rumours started that it’s “Robocop 4”.

Turns out that wasn’t true either. The Robocop films are starting over again just like the Batman and James Bond movies are starting over again. Aronofsky has just signed on to direct the reboot of “Robocop”, remember there is a difference between “remake” and “reboot”.

Film makers are keeping the synopsis under wraps but they are taking the new franchise into a different direction. MGM aims for a 2010 release of the first “Robocop” film.

Hope they pick a good actor for Robocop. I still say it should be Peter Weller! Bring him on!

Report: Brooke Hogan just might pose for Playboy…

It was only a matter of time! Brooke Hogan may actually become a future playmate for Hugh Hefner! Brooke is in talks that she might pose for playboy but of course, she must get permission from her father, Hulk, first.

Well, as long as they don’t have Hulk standing behind her in a picture holding her breasts or her ass, I’m all for it!

Brooke has a great body and I’m sure she can pose fine without any photoshop tricks.
