Emille Hirsch was not in the film, he was just there to see the movie. I’ll be on the lookout for more premiere photos tomorrow, I’m sure there’ll be a bunch more soon, there isn’t many online right now since the premiere just happened.

I’m sure Heath Ledger’s family was there, I’m trying to find pics of them.

“The Dark Knight” comes out this Friday! Can’t wait to see it this weekend!!!

I guess the new Guns N’ Roses song is the real deal, the band didn’t deny it on their official website yet, so it is indeed true that a song from “Chinese Democracy” will get on there.

The name of the new Guns N’ Roses song is “Shackler’s Revenge”.

Maybe this is a sign that “Chinese Democracy” may see the light of day this year?

Anyhow, as far as “Rock Band 2” goes, it sounds like a good set of songs. I don’t think I’ll buy any “Rock Band” video games, I like “Guitar Hero” better. I’ll stick with the “Guitar Hero” franchise, thank you.

Thought: Paul Bearer returning to WWE?

Paul Bearer known as the famous wrestling manager who is the father of wrestlers The Undertaker and Kane storywise maybe returning to the WWE. Rumours going strong that Paul Bearer (real name: Percy Pringle) signed a contract to make another WWE run.

He’s giving hints about it in his blog, his blog is all about being “Dead or Alive” like Kane was saying on the last RAW:

http://percysposts.blogspot.com/

Will Kane’s mystery enemy show up on RAW tonight? Is it actually going to be Paul Bearer?

I’m betting my money it is Paul Bearer.

It can’t be Vince because of his storyline accident and it can’t be The Undertaker ’cause storywise he was banned from WWE due to losing a match against Edge.

If it indeed is Paul Bearer, then it would be fantastic to see him in WWE again after a very long hiatus.

“Resident Evil 5” has just been announced for the PS3/Xbox 360. I don’t think there is an official release date yet but rumour has it, the game should be out sometime next year in 2009. The Resident Evil series has been a long time video game hit, a video game about killing zombies.

Read this cool interview with the game’s producer:

It’s about time there’s a new Resident Evil game! It’s been a long time coming. Looking forward to it.

Report: Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman split after five years as a couple…

Actress/comedian Sarah Silverman and late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel just split up after five years of being a couple. The two first met at a Hugh Hefner roast party, that’s when Kimmel decided to hire her to do voice overs for the puppet themed TV show “Crankyankers” which was aired on Comedy Central.

More on it here:

Hmmm…I guess Sarah really was fucking Matt Damon. I’m sure you were predicting that joke coming.

It’s about time they’ve split up! What the hell is a sexy and gorgeous woman like Sarah doing with a freaky looking chubby dude?

Now she is free to get herself a better man! Kudos to you Sarah! Good move!

Report: Guns N’ Roses to release new song for “Rock Band 2” video game…

According to sources, the band Guns N’ Roses is set to release a new song from their long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” for the upcoming “Rock Band 2” video game set to release this coming September. It appears that Axl Rose himself is a huge fan of the first “Rock Band” video game and he plays it himself. Yep, you heard that right, they will release a song from “Chinese Democracy” even if the album isn’t out yet.

It’s “Rock Band” vs. “Guitar Hero” at war competing with each other and that’s what this is all about. Music video games are becoming a hit and more mainstream in the music business, Axl feels this will be good marketing for “Chinese Democracy”.

Report: Jason Priestly says “no” to returning as Brandon Walsh for Beverly Hills spinoff, but may direct a few episodes…

The main star for the original “Beverly Hills 90210” Jason Priestly drops out of reprising his role as Brandon Walsh for the spinoff TV show when asked to do it. He maybe looking to direct a few episodes though, only when his old cast mates are starring in them. Jason starred in 248 episodes of the original series as Brandon and directed 18 episodes of the original. Jason feels that Brandon did his time from the original series and feels that the character is not needed for the new series.

More on it here:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25644471/

Maybe it is kind of a good thing that Luke Perry and Jason aren’t returning.

It’s time for new young male stars to rise to the top for the show, we don’t need to see them being held down by “has beens”.

Oh my! This news came to me as a huge surprise! While there were worries that a “School of Rock 2” sequel will never get made, Paramount just gave the film the greenlight to get made. Director Richard Linklater is confirmed to direct the sequel and Jack Black is confirmed to reprise his role as Dewey Finn.

Several weeks ago it was reported that screenwriter/actor Mike White sent in a final script for Paramount, the studio must of loved it. The title to the next sequel is “School of Rock 2: America Rocks”. The synopsis for “School of Rock 2: America Rocks” revolves around Dewey Finn and his musical students who own their own music school as left off from the first one, they go on a cross country field trip to learn more about the history of rock n’ roll and explore other genres such as blues, rap, and country.

Thought: Who is “he”? Is he dead or Alive? New controversial Kane storyline on the horizon…

WWE Superstar, Kane, the big red machine has always been known to do controversial storylines that everyone hates. But yet, even if the storyline everyone hates picks up some controversy and picks up some major buzz in the wrestling community. First it was Kane’s encounter with baseball legend Pete Rose at most Wrestlemania’s. Next comes the Katie Vick necrophyliac storyline and his romance storyline with former WWE Diva, Lita. Kane’s most popular storyline was when he finally removed his mask.

Here is a new one. At the end of last Monday’s RAW after Kane, lost the Fatal 4 Way match for the number one contender of the WWE Champion, Kane the big monster finally came back. Out of Kane’s mouth says, “Who is he? Is he dead or alive?” to announcers Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

Who is Kane reffering to? It is obviously from Kane’s past.

The most likely choices could be the Undertaker or Paul Bearer. Either that, or don’t be surprised that it could it be even Mr. McMahon as another one of McMahon’s tricks. I’m glad the WWE is finally putting Kane in a storyline. They just have him wrestle over the years, not perform in any angles. Kane’s a good performer and a good mic worker. I’m glad he’s back on RAW.
