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.

Report: George W. Bush in a fist fight at a bar? Hmmmm…not really but close…

The “No Country For Old Men” and former “Goonies” star Josh Brolin was busted for getting into a bar room fight along with actor Jeffrey Wright and other film crew members. Brolin, Wright, and other film crew were in town to film the movie “W” a biopic film about our soon to be former president George W. Bush directed by Oliver Stone. The film is currently being shot in Shreveport, Louisianna where they were hanging out at a bar named “The Stray Cat Bar”. The actors and film crew were hanging out late at night after a hard day’s work of filming “W” until things got out of hand and a brawl broke out.

Brolin himself and others were arrested. Brolin was booked into holding cell and immediately posted bond to be released. Brolin is playing George W. Bush in the film “W”.

Report: David Fincher’s “Heavy Metal” shot down by Paramount…

Paramount studios  just ditched David Fincher’s “Heavy Metal” film adapted from the popular adult fantasy comic, a magazine where you can buy at newstands everywhere. Fincher was set to produce the film and to direct one of the stories. Paramount turned down the offer to get the film made because they felt the content was too risque for mainstream audiences, probably due to it’s controversial violence and sexual content.

More on it here:

That article called Fincher’s film a “remake”, it is not. The new “Heavy Metal” film will feature new stories so it will be different than the 1981 film. If you read earlier articles about Fincher’s “Heavy Metal”, they all said it wasn’t a remake.

It’s no surprise to me that Paramount wouldn’t do this. I don’t think any major movie studios would do this, Warner Bros. would probably turn it down too.

I would say either Lionsgate or Nu Image/Millenium would be the most likely studios that would be willing to do this film.

BREAKING NEWS: Angelina Jolie gives birth to twins…FOR REAL this time!!!

For many months, rumours have speculated that Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins but her reps shot down those rumours everytime, saying it’s not true. THIS TIME IT IS FOR REAL! 🙂

Just like Nicole Kidman, this is Angelina’s first “born” children. Angelina has a few other kids but they were all adopted as well. Angelina gave birth to a boy and a girl. She named the boy Knox Leon and she named the girl Vivienne Marcheline. Yet again, more unique baby names. Of course, Brad Pitt was there the entire time she was giving birth. Angelina named the girls middle name Marcheline after Angelina’s biological mother Marcheline Bertrand who passed away.

Angelina just released an action flick which she stars in “Wanted” and next she will release a film titled “Changeling” which is directed by Clint Eastwood.

As for Brad Pitt’s future film projects, soon he will have a role in the Coen Bros. new movie “Burn After Reading”, and then he will star in a film titled “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” which he stars as Benjamin Button.

More great news! Now the media just need to leave them alone so they can have some peace. Congrats to Bradgelina.

BREAKING NEWS: Led Zeppelin will never use their music for videogames…

If you’ve been wondering why Led Zeppelin has never used any of their songs for the earlier Guitar Hero games or Rock Band, it’s because the band refuses to allow any videogames use their music.

So if you’re expecting Led Zeppelin to release their own Guitar Hero like Aerosmith did, don’t get your hopes up, because it looks like it will never happen.

I guess I was wrong when I said the band would want to do something like this.

Man this blows.

I can understand why, it’s their music, their copyright, bands do what they want with their music.

Maybe Jimmy Page will have a change of heart toward the videogames down the road, but I doubt it. The band probably knows nothing about video games since video games weren’t even around back in the bands hey day.

Report: The Mysterious David Lee Roth “dying” over nuts case solved…

Well, look like the two cops has nothing to do with starting the rumour of David Lee Roth almost dying from eating nuts. David Lee Roth has an imposter, a guy that looks almost exactly like him, and pretending to be him. The man posing as David Lee Roth appears to be a scammer.

Report: Snoop Dogg remixes Johnny Cash “I Walk the Line” into a rap song…

There is a Johnny Cash tribute album in the works that will be done by rap and dance/techno artists. The artists will take Johnny Cash’s vocals and remix them into rap and dance songs. The name of the album is titled “Johnny Cash Remixed” scheduled to hit stores everywhere Oct. 14th.

Snoop Dogg does a remix and cover of Johnny Cash’s song “I Walk the Line”. Snoop says he is a huge fan of Johnny Cash’s music and a big inspiration to his own music. He also says if you listen to country music very closely and carefully, it is very similar to rap/hip hop.

Billboard reports:

Snoop is right that rap is similar to country. Why do you think Kid Rock is able to mix rap and country together? Think about it.

I’m looking forward to hearing Snoop’s version of “I Walk the Line”.

Report: The Cruise family welcome Sunday Rose for Nicole…

Although Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman had been divorced for a long time, it seems as though they are still friends and still support each other. Tom Cruise and current wife Katie Holmes gave Nicole and Keith a room full of flowers and baby gifts. Nicole Kidman’s adopted kids, Bella and Connor who currently lives with Tom sent a huge baby basket as a gift to Sunday Rose welcoming their new sister. The Cruise family didn’t actually show up in person at the Nashville hospital to visit Nicole, Keith and Sunday Rose, the gifts were delivered to them by mail.

More on it here:

I’m sure Nicole and Keith will be getting all kinds of baby gifts from all their celebrity friends. I can understand why Tom Cruise immediately jumped in first for this opportunity.
