Report: NBC renews daytime soap “Days Of Our Lives”…major announcement about the show coming soon!

Leave a comment

Like sands through the hour glass… so are the days of our lives.

Rumours have been circulating for a long time now that NBC’s longest running daytime TV show “Days Our Lives” had just renewed it’s contract by NBC. No word on how much longer the show plans on still staying on the air but sources say it could last ’til about 2010 or 2011.

Expect a major announcement, and official press release that would be sure to get big national media coverage very soon. The longest running soap opera in history of TV has been on the air for over 40 years. The show first made it’s debut way back in 1965 starting off with the Horton family first, then as the year’s went along it went on with the Brady’s and the Roberts families.

The show currently stars Peter Reckell, Stephen Nichols, Drake Hogestyn, Bryan Datillo, James Scott, Jay Kenneth Johnson, Josh Taylor, Kristian Alfonso, Deidre Hall, and more.

The people in Salem won’t be getting off our TV screens anytime soon, so you DOOL fans have nothing to worry about.

Sweet news! It would be sad if a veteran TV show gets axed this soon. While the show has low ratings, it still has a lot of fans. I’m one of them. I really am into mobster and crime stories and there’s a lot of that in this show. I just record it on my DVR during the day and just watch the show at night.

Looking forward for the official announcement. It’ll be big!

Report: The Hef wants Robert Downey Jr. for Hugh Hefner biopic film…

Leave a comment

Hugh Hefner the owner of the Playboy empire has just seen “Iron Man” recently and The Hef loved the film too much, that he’d think Robert Downey Jr. would be perfect to play himself in the upcoming Hugh Hefner biopic film. Currently the title to the Hugh Hefner biopic is “Playboy” but I’m sure it will be changed to a better title down the road.

Hugh Hefner grew up in Chicago where he began as a cartoonist, then he moved to Califonia to launch Playboy after he came up with the idea for the magazine, of course, the business started off small which grew into a huge empire like it is now. The first celebrity to appear nude in the magazine was of course no one other than Marilyn Monroe for the first Playboy issue.

More on the story here:

What a really good choice for Hugh Hefner! I always thought Robert Downey Jr. reminded me of a young Hef.

The question is, will the real Hugh Hefner play himself in the movie when the Hugh character in the film reaches his own age? That be quite a surprise if the film give Hugh himself an acting role.

Hugh Hefner deserves his own biopic. While he is a rich man who owns an empire, he seems like a very nice and down to earth man who doesn’t have any ego in him at all.

A man like Hugh who can stay alive this long deserves all the respect. Hugh Hefner is the man and always will be!

Report: Indy scored $25 million on opening day Thursday…

Leave a comment

People just love going to the movies on Memorial Day weekend! Indy 4 scored  $25 million on opening day yesterday. That is higher than “Prince Caspian” and “Iron Man” ever made on opening day. Could Indy 4 actually top world records over James Cameron’s “Titanic”? It’s possible.

Variety Reports:

I still haven’t seen Indy 4 yet, but I definitely will this weekend. I will review it of couse.

Since this film got a lot of mixed reviews, I hope I like it. I probably will although I don’t think it will be the best Indy film.

Thought: Actually, I got a lot more to go in GTA IV…

Leave a comment

I don’t think “Three Leaf Clover” is the final mission for the GTA IV game, I think there’s a lot more missions than that. So actually I’m halfway through the game, I’m just 36% into it. When you know you beat the game, you have to complete the full 100% of the game. Just wanted to clear that out.

“Three Leaf Clover” is a mission ending the 2nd half of the game. It’s a mission where Niko robs a bank in Liberty City where you have to kill all these cops to escape, lol.

Yeah, this game is crazy and violent. I still got ways to go in the game, just found that out and wanted to clear it.

Report: Joe Perry speaks on Steven Tyler checking into rehab…

Leave a comment

Joe Perry the longtime guitarist for Aerosmith spoke to Blender magazine about Steven Tyler’s rehab stint. Joe admits that he doesn’t know why Steven turned himself into rehab and knows nothing about it. Joe says he hopes Steven is okay and in this article Joe even seems a little scared and worried about Steven.

Blender reports:

Sounds Steven turned himself into rehab without the band knowing about it. If he did that, this sounds fishy and sounds like Steven is back into dangerous drugs like coke, heroin, etc.

I pray that Steven is not addicted to that shit again.

Just about done with Grand Theft Auto IV…

Leave a comment

I only have two missions left in Grand Theft Auto IV. After I beat those two missions, I’m done with the game. The final mission is titled “Three Leaf Clover” but I have one more mission to complete before I go to the final one.

While this is an amazing game, the only thing I’m dissapointed about it is, there is not a lot of helicopter flying in this one. Hopefully there’ll be more helicopter flying in Grand Theft Auto V whenever they start making the next one.

After I beat the storyline game in GTA IV, I won’t move on to a different game just yet. I want to try the “online” multiplayer death match so I can play against other people online.

“GTA IV” is actually a pretty simple game, there are only very few missions that are very challenging but other than that, the game is pretty easy. I should have GTA IV beat today.

Report: Heath Ledger’s ex-girlfriend, Michelle Williams shows up at Cannes…

2 Comments

A smiling and upbeat Michelle Williams shows up on the last minute at Cannes to the premiere of her film “Wendy and Lucy”. In the film she plays the leading role of Wendy. Michelle Williams is the ex-girlfriend of the late Heath Ledger who they have a daughter together named Matilda. Michelle Williams has been out of the spotlight and stayed low for a while since Heath Ledger’s death, this is her first public appearance since Heath’s funeral. The people at Cannes were stunned and amazed when she showed up wearing the white dress and looking gorgeous as ever.

FOXNews reports:

She’ll probably be at the “The Dark Knight” premiere too. “The Dark Knight” premiere this summer will be a night for Heath Ledger for sure. I’m sure plenty of Heath’s celebrity friends and family members will attend “The Dark Knight” premiere.

Thought: David Cook, the Idol winner is fantastic!

Leave a comment

I hardily ever like any of the singers on American Idol in the past, but David Cook is actually really great. He is a good choice for a winner. He’s got a good range and perfect voice for rock music. Since I didn’t watch this year’s Idol, I’ve been in youtbe watching David Cook’s performances. I think I’m sold to this guy, he’s pretty impressive. Watch out Chris Daughtry, Cook could be the next big rock star. Finally, Idol picked a good choice!

Check out a few videos below.

P.S. In the “Baba O’ Reilly” video is that David Cook using one of Eddie Van Halen’s customized amps? 🙂
