Report: Harrison Ford to play Jack Ryan one more time?

Harrison Ford dropped a big bombshell when he spoke to the Sun newspaper that he is eyeing a big comeback to the Jack Ryan character. He said that Jack Ryan is worth re-visiting and he would like to reprise the role in the next movie. Ford played Jack Ryan twice, he played the character in “Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger”.

The Sun reports:

If he can still play Indy for one more time, I’m sure he can play Jack Ryan again too. Since Indy 4 is such a big success, I’d say go for it. Harrison playing Jack Ryan again would be friggin’ badass! He obviously made the best Jack Ryan out of all the ones that played the character in the past.

I fuckin’ loved “Patriot Games” that is one of my favorite action movies of all times. I think they should get Harrison for the next Jack Ryan flick ’cause Harrison deserves a successful movie career.

Before “Indy 4” Harrison was about ready to have a failed career…hmmm… movies like “K-19: The Widowmaker”, “Hollywood Homicide”, and “Firewall” all flopped in the box office.

I hope Harrison continues to do successful movies. He shouldn’t have to become the king of bombed movies like Sly Stallone.

I enjoyed the band Garbage, they wrote killer tunes. Congrats to Shirley on her acting career, hope she gets successful with it.

Report: Grand Theft Auto IV on the cover of Metroland…

The Metroland wrote a great review on Grand Theft Auto IV videogame written by writer David King.

Check it out here:

http://www.metroland.net/features.html

It is definitely the best videogame ever made. Niko Bellic is definitely one of the best videogame characters ever created.

Niko Bellic is definitely better than the Super Mario Bros. Sonic the Hedgehog and the Legend of Zelda.

GTA IV is definitely hard to stop playing indeed. I’m 49% of the storyline missions right now.

Yet another celebrity couple/romance I need to report, 65 year old Harrison Ford will marry his longtime girlfriend Calista Flockhart the former star of the hit TV show Ally McBeal. The couple has dated since 2002 and first met at the Golden Globe Awards that  year. They plan to do a low-key summer wedding this year.

More on it here:

After seeing pics of Harrison Ford at Cannes, he seems like a very upbeat and very happy guy. I can see why since Indy 4 is finally released and now he’s finally marrying Calista.

Congrats the both of them, and hope they’ll stay together for a long time ’cause they look good together.

Report: Eddie Murphy returns as Axel Foley for “Beverly Hills Cop 4″…

After “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull” being  a huge box office smash, Paramount Pictures had just greenlighed “Beverly Hills Cop” series to get a 4th installment, and Eddie Murphy himself has agreed to reprise his role as Axel Foley. Paramount aims for a production start in 2009 and plans to release it in 2010.

Murphy himself approached Paramount about wanting to bring Axel Foley back to the big screen after he finished filming his newest movie “Nowhereland” which will release next summer in 2009.

Brett Ratner is in negotiations to direct “Beverly Hills Cop 4”.

Variety Reports:

As long as they still get Judge Reinhold as Rosewood and still keep it an R rated movie, I’ll go see it. Reinhold hasn’t done any acting and vanished from movies since “The Santa Clause 3”, so it would be good to see him back in the movies again.

Report: Sharon Stone apologizes about bad karma comments and admits it was wrong…

The french fashion house Christian Dior dropped Sharon Stone from it’s Chinese ads since she apologized about her comments on bad karma for the Chinese Earthquakes. She admits her comments was wrong and out of line but she is still willing to help the Earthquake victims.

The Associated Press reports:

She didn’t need to apologize in my opinion, she was speaking her mind as there is a 1st amendment in this country. She’s just trying to save herself from getting banned in China.

Report: George Clooney and Sarah Larson split…

When blogging about entertainment news, I almost always stay away from celebrity couples and relationships, but I feel the need to report this one. After a year of being an item together, 47 year old George Clooney and 29 year old Sarah Larson just officially split up. It sounds like Clooney himself dumped her according to unidentified sources. Clooney says he still loves her and all, but Clooney dumped her ’cause they had little in common and he didn’t want to be committed in a relationship anymore for a while. Clooney’s reps refuse to talk about his private life.

FOXNews reports:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,359468,00.html

That’s kind of too bad. I thought Clooney and Larson had something going together, and actually thought they were heading to marriage.

Well ladies, Clooney is single again, so go get him!

Report: Mason Jennings release new record under Jack Johnson’s record label, Brushfire Records…

Singer/songwriter Mason Jennings, recently dropped off major label Epic records for one album (which was “Boneclouds” released in 2006), Jennings just recently released “In the Ever” under Jack Johnson’s label called, Brushfire Records, which is a smaller indie label owned by Johnson.

To hear some new Mason Jennings tracks off the new record “In the Ever” go to his myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/masonjennings

Congrats on going back to indie Mason! Back to his roots where he belongs!

In case you haven’t noticed, now that Mason is no longer a major label artist, you can see he has more time to post in his myspace blog himself more often now. When he was signed in Epic, he hardily ever posted in his blog.

His new songs are sounding great and I’m definitely getting the new album!

Report: Dunkin’ Donuts pull the plug on Rachael Ray’s commercial…

The Dunkin’ Donuts company had just pulled the plug on a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial which starred Albany, N.Y.’s own Rachael Ray. Rachael Ray, a “so-called” America’s sweetheart (or a snob the way I say it), was wearing a scarf in the commercial which blogger Michelle Malkin says it is a jihadi chic keffiyeh scarf which is a scarf worn by Arab men that symbolized murderous Palestinian jihad.  The Dunkin Donuts Senior Vice President responded back saying, the scarf was selected by a stylist, it was not intended for symbolism.

More on it here:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24860437/

To read Michelle Malkin’s blog entry about it, click here:

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/28/the-keffiyeh-kerfuffle/

So if Dunkin’ Donuts pulled the plug on the commercial and say it wasn’t intended for symbolism, that means they are scared to admit that Michelle Malkin is right.

Example of the keffiyeh scarf using some random google image:

It’s about time the media did something right on Rachael Ray for once. I’m tired of the world thinking that she’s so glorifying and wonderful when she’s one of the biggest egos on this planet.
