Report: Robin Williams to star in “Worlds Greatest Dad”…written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait…

Robin Williams just signed a deal to star in a dark comedy titled “Worlds Greatest Dad”, the film was written and will be directed by comedian/actor Bobcat Goldthwait. You probably remember Bobcat Goldthwait in the early “Police Academy” films.

The synopsis is about a single dad and high school teacher who finds his son dead after an autoerotic accident. In an effort to give his son dignity in death, he pens a suicide note that is accidentally leaked to the student paper.

It’s about time Robin’s found a decent role for a change. He’s been choosing horrible films as of late. His movie “RV” is probably the worse he’s ever done.

Can’t wait to hear “Runaway Train” in August! Hopefully the song will rock fucking hard, not some pop three chord song like “You Shook Me All Night Long”.

Report: Dying Charles Manson follower denied request of release from prison…

The state parole board of Sacremento, California denied a request to release Susan Atkins from prison, she is the niece of Charles Manson follower Shariss Atkins. Susanis serving a life prison sentence for murdering famous actress Sharon Tate. Before Sharon Tate was murdered by Susan, the actress was married to Roman Polanski in 1968 and she was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. Tate was stabbed by Susan 16 times.

Susan Atkins is dying of brain cancer and it was reported that she doesn’t have much time to live. Her doctors and the officials at the women’s prison made a request to be released because her health is so bad that they no longer wanted to see her in prison. Susan’s lawyer and husband, James Whitehouse, defended her hoping she would be released so she wouldn’t die in prison.

Susan killed the actress Sharon Tate 40 years ago and the judge haven’t forgotten so he denied her request.

The Associated Press reports:

Well, I’m sure Roman Polanski himself is over in the UK smiling over this news and feeling relieved that she isn’t getting out.

Why would an idiot lawyer like Whitehouse be married to a sick murderer? Does Whitehouse support the Manson family? The judge probably thought the same thing, that this Whitehouse dude is just as insane and mental like Atkins is.

Let her die in prison. It doesn’t matter how long ago it was, she still murdered someone.

Report: Guitar Hero to Rock Band, “Oh yeah, well take this Rock Band, you get new Guns N’ Roses, we get NEW Metallica album, hahahahaha…”

Yeah, it’s definitely Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band alright. Right after Rock Band announced they get a new Guns N’ Roses song early, the Guitar Hero franchise announced they’ll get the new Metallica album “Death Magnetic” in it’s entirety for “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” downloadable, so you can jam out to Metallica’s new entire album. The album will be downloadable in “Guitar Hero III” the same day “Death Magnetic” comes out in stores.

While Metallica may not yet be getting their own Guitar Hero video game, them getting “Death Magnetic” on Guitar Hero III is better than nothing, I guess!

From the band’s official website:

As the owner of “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”, I’ll definitely download the entire Metallica album for the video game as well. Pretty sweet!
