Well, California did it today. The gays fought for a longtime for gay marriage in that state, and they got what they wanted. Governor Ah-nuld still doesn’t approve it and his opinion on gay marriage still remains the same but he respects the courts decision.

With “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” coming around the corner, I just wanted to discuss some of the best scenes from all three Indy flicks. I’m getting really excited for Indy 4 and I will see it on the night it comes out. I also have plans in seeing “Prince Caspian” this weekend as well.
The Top Ten Best Indy Moments here:
10. The Bar Fight scene at Marion’s Bar – (Raiders) This is a classic action sequence. All the fire and gun shooting. Major Toht is one of the coolest badguys in Hollywood movies! I always loved this scene in Raiders the most.
9. Indy finds where Ark is in the Map Scene – (Raiders) This seen sends chills down my spine everytime I see it. This scene is amazing. I don’t know what it is about this scene, I just think it’s the creepy music score being played during it.
8. Indy fights a bald Nazi at the plane after finding the Ark – (Raiders) Another classic action scene. Thank you Spielberg!
7. Indy shoots a swordsman – (Raiders) A tiny scene, but classic and shows a comedic side of Indy!
6. Indy turns into a villain – (Temple of Doom) Moloram forcing Indy to turn into a bad guy is just pure gold. This is where Harrison’s acting gets amazing. Indy was a real badguy you wanted to hate in this film, just perfect acting by Harrison!
5. The Bridge scene – (Temple of Doom) Short Round “Hang On Lady, we’re going for a ride…” Willie “Oh my god, oh my god, isn’t he nuts?” Short Round, “He no nuts, he’s crazy!” The final action scene in Temple of Doom is possibly another one of the greatest action scenes ever made. I love this scene to death, I think Spielberg’s goal with this scene, he was supposed to make this scene scary as hell. Not entertaining in a way. It’s supposed to be scary, and yes, it is scary as fuck being over 100 ft in the air of that bridge and Indy cuts it to pieces.
4. The Young Indiana Jones scenes – (The Last Crusade) “The Last Crusade” was a pretty good movie but not the best of the series, but the only best thing about the film was the opening sequence with River Phoenix playing the Young Indiana Jones, totally explaining what Indy was like as a child was pure gold. I love the scene so much.
3. The Mine Chase Roller Coaster Ride scene – (Temple of Doom) Another classic Indy scene that is very entertaining. A thrill ride.
2. Truck Chase scene – (Raiders) Spielberg created one of the greatest action scenes ever made. I’ll never get tired of watching this scene, the scene where Indy goes after the truck where the Ark is in is pure magic and thrilling!
1. Belloq opens the Ark – (Raiders) The ending to “Raiders” where Belloq opens the Ark, and all these ghosts started coming out of it, The Nazis started melting while Indy and Marion are tied together keeping their eyes closed so the same doesn’t happen to them. I always found the ending to “Raiders” to be classic, the ending used to scare me when I was a kid.
There you have it, my choices for the top 10 Best Indy scenes and moments. Spielberg created a lot of fun classic Indy scenes and I’m sure he created some great memorable scenes for “Indy 4” that we’ll never forget too.

Dolly Parton, the legendary country singer has hinted to Billboard that she could be suing Howard Stern, she’s offended and upset at Howard Stern’s audio when he editted one of her audio books changing it to racists and sexually graphic sound bites instead.
Billboard reports:

I’m sure she loves Kenny Rogers dearly, Howard is trying to make her look bad.

I am not gay, I am straight but for those who are out there I thought I would report this, looks like the Playboy company is coming out of the closet by planning to make a move into the gay male community by launching a soft-core gay porn Playboy channel for the males for the On-Demand services Time Warner digital cables.
Playboy has been “straight” entertaining men with women since 1953, but now they want to try something different with “man on man” action. No word on when the channel is scheduled to be launching.
More on the story here:
http://www.xbiz.com/news/93658
This may soon create a lot of controversy in the news indeed.
Is this a good idea? Playboy was made for straight males, but now they want to try and mix it up with gays.
I don’t see this lasting too long to be honest, Playboy will get a lot of hate from the straights by it.
It don’t hurt to give it a try though to see how it goes. May the rumours of Hugh Hefner being gay begin.

The trailer for Woody Allen’s new film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” which stars Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson is online now. This will be one of the films debuting at this year’s Cannes festival.
Looks like a wait for DVD release most definitely, I’m not such a big Woody Allen fan but I’ll see this movie just for Scarlett. I don’t think you’ll see Scarlett nude in this one though although she does make out with Penelope in this film, I don’t think Scarlett was ever naked in any movie but Penelope has been naked in quite a few films before so she might be naked in this one.
Although the movie looks okay, we all know the only reason people will see this is the lesbian scene between Scarlett and Penelope.

Patrick Stewart speaks to Entertainment Weekly in an interview about his first nominated Tony award. He never had an opportunity like this before and he says it is a dream come true to land on the Tony’s. Patrick Stewart just received a nomination for “Best Performance by a Leading Actor In a Play” for this year’s Tony Awards.
There is no talk on whether or not Patrick is making a return to the movies but I don’t see him returning to the movies anytime soon. He seems too committed to doing theatre, but the cool thing is, Patrick does have plans in seeing J.J. Abrams “Star Trek XI” when that hits movie theaters and he can’t wait to see the movie.
See here to read this great interview:

Congratulations to Patrick on the Tony award nomination! That man deserves it every step of the way, an underrated talented actor finally getting the recognition he deserves!

“Supberbad” star Jonah Hill is in negotiations with Sony Studios to write the screenplay for “21 Jump Street” an adaptation from the TV show starring Johnny Depp. It hasn’t been decided yet if Jonah will have an acting role in “21 Jump Street” movie. Jonah will also serve as executive producer. Sony is keeping all plans of “21 Jump Street” underwraps for now.
Entertainment Weekly reports:
http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/05/21-jump-street.html
With Jonah Hill writing the script, I expect the film to be loads of swearing and sexual dirty talk, seems like Jonah plays that type of character in almost every movie he plays, so I feel the “21 Jump Street” film could get a R rating.

With all this talk of Miley Cyrus becoming the next biggest star in the world pretty quickly, I have came to a conclusion of something that I had never thought of before. Billy Ray Cyrus, hasn’t had a hit album since “Some Gave All” a multi-platinum album that was a big hit back in 1992. That was the only album that I know of that had a big hit in his career. Billy Ray never had a successful music career ever since that album.
Now he is set to host “Nashville Star” this year thanks to his daughter Miley Cyrus. Soon Billy Ray will once again become the next biggest mega star of the world like he once was in ’92, and not Miley Cyrus. I see Miley’s career being held down with all this sex photos talk with her in the media lately because of Billy Ray’s success recently.
If Billy Ray’s daughter was never this big and famous, then no one would care about Billy Ray Cyrus and wouldn’t be hosting “Nashville Star”.
If you think and read between the lines, you’ll soon start to see that Billy Ray is using Miley Cyrus for his own fame. You’re welcome.
