Cool Video: Tay Zonday sings “Pork and Beans” with Brian Bell of Weezer!

Here’s a fuckin’ cool video of the real Tay Zonday himself actually singing with Weezer guitarist Brian Bell, singing the song “Pork and Beans”. I’ll be honest that Tay actually sings it better than Rivers. NO JOKE! This fuckin’ rules! Maybe Tay should have been the one singing the lead of this song on the album instead of Rivers!!!!

Weezer must be huge Tay Zonday fans indeed!

Cool Video: Daredevil climbs the Times Building with no ropes or other climbing equipment…

A french stuntman named Alain Robert climbs the New York Times building to the top using nothing to climb up with but his barehands only.

The dude doesn’t care if he got arrested for this. I’m willing to bet he’s so fucking proud and happy to what he did. Something that he wanted to do all his life. Kudos to Alain! What a brave man he is!

Report: Ben Kingsley joins “Prince of Persia” film…

Ben Kingsley has signed on to star as the main villain for the “Prince of Persia” live action movie adapted from the videogame. Kingsley will play the evil Nizam. Ben Kingsley is most well known for his role in the movie “Gandhi” which is one of my favorite movies of all times.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton also star in the lead.

“Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen”.

The original cast from the first one will be coming back and a few new cast members has been added such as “The Office” star Rainn Wilson and “Rambo’s” Matthew Marsden is signed to the film as well.

Those who don’t know what “The Fallen” it is a character from the Transformers cartoons. So look like the Fallen will be the main villain robot for the next one.

The Fallen here….

…this one turns itself into a tank when transformed.

Michael Bay is right, the next one does sound much better than the first and looking forward to it!

Bring it on Michael!

Report: William Shatner supports George Takei about gay wedding…

If you’re expecting William Shatner to attend George Takei’s and Brad Altman’s gay wedding for the Shat to witness them get hitched in person, don’t count on it. It’s very unlikely that George Takei is going to invite the Shat to the wedding. Takei explained many times in interviews on TV that he had a fallen out with the Shat, in other words, not getting along with each other. The Shat still supports Takei by sending him wedding wishes even though he knows he won’t be invited.

More on it here:

It’s good to see Shat still being supportive of George.

If you think William Shatner is a super nice guy with a wild sense of humor, in reality, I’m sure he is a complicated and difficult guy to get along with.

After Shat whining about not being in “Star Trek XI” for months and months, just shows it.

Thought: Top Ten Favorite Adam Sandler films…

In light of Adam Sandler’s new movie “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” comes out tomorrow, I plan to see it if I can, because I am a huge Adam Sandler fan, always had been and wanted to post my favorites of his career.

Here they are:

  1. Punch Drunk Love – In this film, Sandler decides to take a break from comedy and do a dark film for once. I think this is his best film and shows his true acting talent. A serious side of Adam Sandler. You don’t see the funny man in him in this one, plus this movie has a unique story to tell.
  2. Happy Gilmore – The classic fight scene with Bob Barker is what did it. The price is wrong, BITCH!
  3. Anger Management – Sandler once again pulls off good acting skills in this flick. It’s one of his better new comedies in a long time. Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler playing in the same flick together is just pure gold!
  4. Billy Madison – A crazy film about a man who still acts like a kid and experiences elementary school all over again. A cool movie with funny laughs.
  5. The Waterboy – Another one of his funniest comedies ever made. Especially Kathy Bates character in this flick.
  6. 50 First Dates – I don’t care for romantic comedies too much but this one is actually a real good one. I think this is Adam and Drew’s best collaboration.
  7. The Longest Yard – This movie was a remake from the original starring Burt Reynolds but I really liked this one, it was great seeing Burt Reynolds and Adam play together. There’s some hilarious scenes in this one too.
  8. Little Nicky – It’s been said that this is one of Adam’s worst movies but I like this one and would say this one’s a guilty pleasure. You’ll have to admit there are hilarious scenes in this flick, especially the cameos of Rodney Dangerfield and Ozzy.
  9. Airheads – He didn’t play the leading role in this flick, just a supporting star, but still he played a good character in this. I’ve always liked this film.
  10. Bulletproof – An action/comedy movie starring Adam and Damon Wayans. I’ve seen this film too many times.

Thought: Grand Theft Auto IV is only 60% of storyline missions??

I just found out that Grand Theft Auto IV only has 60% of the main storyline missions, that’s the entire game right there. Right now, I’m 52% into the game. So that basically means I’m “almost” done with the game. I have at least 20 missions left and then I’m done.

I just completed a mission called “Catch the Wave” today and it wasn’t that hard of a mission, only took me several tries to beat it.

I should definitely have the game beat sometime this month.

The Listening Room: Check out this excellent band…Plumerai…

It was an honor to share the stage with this band over the weekend at P4th, I thought this band was fantastic and impressive. One of the better out of state bands I’ve heard in a long while.

Check out Plumerai here:

http://www.myspace.com/plumerai  

They rock! I listened to their CD “Without Number” twice, if you live in Boston, definitely check them out at a club near you! This band will not bore you!

Plus, the lead singer Elizabeth Ezell is smoking hot!

Thought: Thinking about bringing the myspace back…

I have been thinking lately that I’m thinking about bringing my official myspace music account back. But if I do though, it’s not gonna be runned by me. I will be choosing a few trusting people to run it for me if they are willing. To post my songs, promote my gigs, etc.

There are plenty of bands/solo artists pages in myspace that are not being runned by the actual artist, some bands/artists pages are being runned by loyal fans, managers, street team, etc. So I figure why not do the same thing?

Myspace is just too hectic for me when I should be spending the time on the music. It’s a waste of time to spend hours and hours on the computer to promote your music online. I don’t see how bands/artists can do it when they should be working on their own music. This is why some bands have other people promote their stuff online ’cause the band rather spend the time on music and performing shows.

I’ll be thinking about this idea.

Report: Ozzy wins lawsuit over newspaper article saying that he was ill at the Brit Awards…

Ozzy Osbourne successfully won a lawsuit over a newspaper that claimed he was ill at this year’s Brit Awards. Ozzy got angry and fired back at the newspaper by slapping them a libel lawsuit. Ozzy said it wasn’t true that he was ill at the Brit Awards, he was perfectly fine. Ozzy won the lawsuit after the newspaper admitted they were wrong, they apologized to the legendary rocker and Ozzy kindly accepted the paper’s apology. The paper agreed to pay the libel damages.

The Associated Press reports:

It’s nice to see a company admit their mistakes. This is a lesson to be learned that you do not mess with Ozzy!
