Report: Verne Troyer may not want the sex tape on TMZ but his woman does…

Ranae Shrider, the woman that was seen in the Verne Troyer sex tape has given TMZ (the celebrity gossip website owned by Harvey Levin) permission to post small clips of the sex tape on it’s website. Ranae signed a declaration in Federal court stating the sex tape was filmed by her videocamera. The statement read that she allowed TMZ to have the sex tape clips back on their website.

The judge has still barred the porn company for trying to release it on DVD.

The Associated Press reports:

See? I told you TMZ will win. Ranae’s gotta be loving her 5 minutes of fame, she probably could care less about Verne’s privacy.

Report: New Ac/Dc album title is still yet to be decided…

While the boys in Ac/Dc has finished their new album, they are still trying to decide what to title it. They had three different titles in mind. It looks like the name of the new album will be titled “Black Ice” which the band seems to like the most. One of the other titles the band had in mind was “Runaway Train”. I agree, I think “Black Ice” is the perfect title, I like the sound of it. Ac/Dc recorded the album in Canada with producer Brendan O’ Brien. The album will release this year, possibly in October in the fall.

I’m sure Ac/Dc will announce the title and release date on their official website next week! CAN’T WAIT!

Look like rock is trying to make a comeback to the mainstream. I hope so. I’m sick of pop music taking over mainstream.

ZZ Top rules. They were great back in the old days, hopefully they don’t dissapoint in the new album too. I always respected Billy Gibbons as a guitarist. He’s one of the most unique and underrated guitarist today.

Report: Josh Hartnett set to star in “Rain Man” remake, not on the big screen but in a London theatre…

Josh is set to play the character of Charlie Babbitt which was originally played by Tom Cruise from the 1988 film that co-starred Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt. The “Rain Man” theatre play will have British actor Adam Godley to star as Dustin’s autistic character Raymond.

At least this film isn’t being remade for the big screen. I loved the “Rain Man” film and always thought it would work for theatre. Sounds like an interesting play to see.

Report: Heath Ledger theatre being built in Australia, named after him…

There’s a theatre being built in Heath Ledger’s hometown of Perth, Australia, and the theatre is being named after him. The name of the theatre is called, “The Heath Ledger Theatre”. Heath Ledger is a big supporter of theatre plays as I’m sure that’s where he started in theatre before hollywood movies. Heath’s father, Kim Ledger, says this is what Heath would have wanted and would be proud to have a theatre attached to his name if he was still alive.

Kim Ledger and the rest of the family are making plans to travel over here to the USA to New York City to attend “The Dark Knight” premiere on July 14th. Christopher Nolan already invited the family to see the first eight minutes of the film.

I can’t wait for the Dark Knight.

NEW: 007 “Quantum of Solace” teaser trailer online NOW!!!!

The teaser trailer for the new James Bond 007 “Quantum of Solace” movie is here, and in my opinion, the movie looks fuckin’ BADASS! It looks much better and more action packed than “Casino Royale”. I’m so happy the Bond movies are starting over with a clean slate and improving. I mean, the last several new Bond flicks were such crap and so glad they are getting better.

MTV Movies Blog exclusively has the Bond “Quantum of Solace” trailer:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/06/30/james-bonds-quantum-of-solace-gets-an-explosive-trailer-tell-us-your-thoughts/

I’ll definitely be seeing it in theater.

Xbox and the PS3 are also releasing a videogame based on the film and I’ll probably get that too. I’ll be posting more information on the “Quantum of Solace” videogame soon.

Adult porn film star Tera Patrick is in talks to be the female lead in Tarantino’s remake of “Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill”. After years of doing porn, she wants to take a break from it by having actual movie roles for the big screen.

More on it here:

Tarantino will probably go for porn stars for the other two women in the film too. Tera Patrick is a good choice for the brunette character from the 1965 original.

The Life and Career of Angelina Jolie part II

After the major success of “Wanted”, it is now official that Angelina Jolie has turned herself into a big action movie star. Could she line herself right up there along Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger? As a matter of fact, she just did. She is now considered the queen of action films. Look at all the action movies she has done that were pretty big hits in the box office: “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”, “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 2: the Cradle of Life”, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, and “Gone In 60 Seconds”.

Those are all action films she has done that made pretty high amount of money. When she does the sad drama movies, seems like no one cares for that. Everyone sees her as an action star, not a drama star. She needs to keep doing more action films. Since Angelina Jolie is my favorite actress that I’m a die hard fan of and I’m a die hard fan of Sly Stallone, I always wanted to see Angelina star in a movie with Sly. Angie and Sly starring together would shatter box office records indeed. Angelina and Sly teaming up really needs to happen soon. No, not Sly and Angie in a buddy cop romance movie, there’s too many of those. Just Angie and Sly teaming up to beat down criminals and partner up is good enough.

Keep doing more action films Angie. This is proof that action movies is your genre.
