Report: A $200 dollar burger, wtf?

Leave a comment

Last Wednesday, Burger King just launched the worlds most expensive fast food burger, costing $200, yes, you heard that right!!! $200!!!!! It’s a burger simply called “The Burger”. It is mixed with all kinds of ingredients. Why is the burger so expensive? They are doing it for charity. All proceeds bought from the burger will go to the Help A London Child charity which helps young children who are experience abuse, who are homeless, dissability, poverty and illness. The burger officially beats the world record of most expensive burger in history. This has never been done before in history of fast food restaurant’s as all burgers or value meals are very cheap and affordable.

People are crazy if they bought that burger. Of course, rich and wealthy people will be able to afford it though.

Videogame news

My next two game purchases will be…

Leave a comment

I’ve been keeping a close eye on these two games, and I will probably get these two games next. Not both at the same time since Ps3 games are pretty pricey, I will only get one game at a time. I know I have other games to play still, but I am aiming to collect as much PS3 games as possible.

So far, I only have 5 PS3 games and I only beat one of them which is Grand Theft Auto IV. Right now, I’ve just started playing a first person shooting game called “F.E.A.R.” for the PS3.

Yep, the Jason Bourne game I would probably get next ’cause it’s out in stores now, and I will probably get “Metal Gear Solid 4” down the road. I get the entire next week off from work so I’ll finally be able to go to the malls, to shop around or catch a movie or whatever. While i”m at the videogame store at Best Buy, I’ll probably get the stuff I need to play games online too.

I’m loving my Ps3 system and I’ve became addicted to this thing ever since I got it. I think the Playstation is the best videogame system out there by far. I think Nintendo and Xbox are both a little overrated, and both of those systems don’t have the best selection of games. I love the Playstation more ’cause they have more action/adventure games that I like that you can’t get on other systems. The Playstation kicks ass.

Somewhere in the future I’ll probably wind up buying a Playstation 2 system just for the older Grand Theft Auto games that you can’t get on PS3.

Report: Phish, another one to join the “reuniting” bandwagon?

Leave a comment

Rumours are swirling the internets that Trey Anastasio and the original members of Phish maybe coming back. They could be back in the studio soon to record a new studio album with producer Steve Lillywhite. So far, Trey Anastasio himself has kept his mouth shut about confirmation of the Phish reunion although he has hinted in interviews that it might actually happen. It is very likely that the band could be coming back.

Billboard reports:

Could Trey surprise the hell out of us and make the first Phish reunion concert to happen in Washington County right here in my home area? Trey could have a Phish concert here in Washington County if he wanted to and it would be fuckin’ sweet if he did bring Phish here!!!!

I know Phish is too famous for a small town like this but hey, this is fucking Trey Anastasio! This dude will play music anywhere! It wouldn’t be surprising if Trey brought Phish here after graduating drug court, I mean, think about it. It’s a great way for him to celebrate his graduation by bringing Phish back!! Why would he want to do a boring solo show here in Washington County when Phish is the way to party? Bring out the druggies and hippies in Washington County!

Report: Rambow joins third “Narnia” film…

2 Comments

Will Poulter the leading star of the “Son Of Rambow” joins the cast of the third “Chronicles of Narnia” film. The third “Narnia” film is titled, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of Dawn Treader” (which is actually the fourth of the Narnia novels). Poulter will be playing the cousin of the Pevensie children in “Narnia”. Poulter will be joining the cast of a returning Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian and of course the rest of the original cast who plays the Pevensie kids.

Fuck yeah! I’m so thrilled that they are not wasting any time to get right to work on a third Narnia film!

I love the books so much and so happy they are making a film on all the novels!

Considering the fact that “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” is the second of the Narnia novels, I’m willing to bet they will do the rest of the movies first, then they will make the first Narnia novel “The Magician’s Nephew” into a prequel film. I think the reason they started off on “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” first is because the Pevensie kids are not in the first book.

I’ll always be looking forward to more “Narnia” films!

Actor Kevin Bacon decides to take a break from doing too many dark films he’s been doing lately to star in a childhood adventure family film titled “My One and Only” which also stars Renee Zellwigger, Nick Stahl and Chris Noth. Bacon will play a philandering band leader which his mother tries to leave behind.

The film has already begun filming in Baltimore, Maryland and it is being directed by Richard Loncraine.

Movie sounds interesting. I’ll wait for a trailer to decide whether to see it in theater though.

Whose Side Are You On: Soulja Boy vs. Ice T…

Leave a comment

Remember Ice-T the star of “Law and Order: SVU” slammed rapper Soulja Boy in a radio interview? Well Soulja Boy himself responded to Ice-T bashing the hell out of him in return in this videoblog in Soulja’s official youtube account.

Watch Soulja Boy’s videoblog below, he’s making fun of Ice-T throughout the entire video. Soulja’s gotta couple of friends with him and they are laughing at Ice-T too. Soulja defends himself and defends today’s rap music industry. Soulja brings up some very good points, so I’m actually on Soulja Boy’s side on this one.

Ice T, aka asshole and egomaniac.

I agree with Soulja Boy that it is kind of crazy for Ice-T to write a rap song about killing cops and then he becomes a fictional one in “Law and Order”.

And besides, Ice-T hasn’t done any music since the 80’s, I believe. He retired from rap music a long time ago and became an actor. So since Ice-T has been away from music for years and years, Ice-T has no right to bash artists like Soulja Boy. I think Ice-T is clearly jealous of Soulja Boy’s popularity.

Kudos to Soulja Boy for sticking up to what he believes in!!!

Report: Brian Williams takes over “Meet the Press” for now…

2 Comments

NBC Nightly News head anchor Brian Williams will take over Tim Russert for “Meet the Press” only for the weekend. A permament host has not been confirmed. It is not yet decided if Williams will host “Meet the Press” for the entire weekend. It could last for a couple of days.

Variety Reports:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117987763.html?categoryid=14&cs=1

How much do you want to bet that the permament host will be no one other than Tom Brokaw? Brokaw and Russert has been best friends for years so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Brokaw does become Russert’s official replacement. Brokaw seems like the best choice anyway.

Report: Why Cheetah the Chimp gets no love on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame?

Leave a comment

At least 20 movie stars are getting their star for the Hollywood walk of fame. Everyone from Cameron Diaz to Tim Burton to Hugh Jackman to Robert Downey Jr. and plenty more to list but Cheetah the Chimp gets ignored.

The Associated Press Reports:

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gk8hiOClxoemZ2Nhb0aL0u3OXuEAD91DB5TG0

Why is Hollywood ignoring Cheetah? NEWS FLASH!!!!!!

It doesn’t deserve one!

I mean come on people! Think through your heads!!!!!

You have to look at how many iconic animal stars that never got the Star on the Walk of Fame.

Lets see here… how come Keiko the whale who played Willy in the “Free Willy” movies never got a star, eh? Keiko was a pretty well known whale for many years! What about friggin’ Beethoven the dog who is also an iconic animal from movies? How come Virgil the chimp from Matthew Broderick’s film “Project X” never got a star when Virgil was pretty popular too?

Oh yeah, and what about that horse who played Black in the “Black Stallion” sequels, how come that horse never got a star? How come Bart the Bear from the movie “The Bear” never got one? What about Milo and Otis? What about Babe the pig? What about Benji? What about Toto the dog in “Wizard of Oz”?

There are only two animals that do have a Walk of Fame…they are Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. They got one because they’ve been well known for years.

Cheetah the Chimp however is not that well known and not that much of a star. Cheetah is not in Lassie’s league, that’s why the monkey doesn’t deserve one. Sorry but that’s the truth you will have to accept and this is why Hollywood continues to blast down Cheetah everytime the chimp is requested for a star. Cheetah is not star power quality.
