Report: Jimmy Fallon is close to being the official host of NBC’s “Late Night”…

Leave a comment

Former Saturday Night Live star, Jimmy Fallon will soon be the official host for NBC’s “Late Night” replacing Conan O’ Brien when he leaves for Jay Leno very soon.

The Associated Press reports:

I am a fan of Jimmy Fallon, I like the dude, he’s funny, don’t get me wrong, but I have a feeling that “Late Night” on NBC ratings will drop. People are so used to seeing Conan being the host that they won’t care for the show anymore no matter who is hosting it.

It’s gonna be really weird seeing Jimmy Fallon making jokes with Max Weinberg the drummer and Conan O’ Brien making jokes with Kevin Eubanks the guitar player but this is something we’ll have to get used to for a long while. It’ll take Conan O’ Brien a while to get used to most definitely.

Don’t be surprised if Conan starts calling Kevin Eubanks by the name of Max by mistake because we all know that’s gonna happen. But I can’t wait for Jay Leno to leave.

Good fucking riddance to Jay. I never found Jay to be funny at all, his jokes are always too simple. Conan makes me laugh hard everytime I see him on TV, it’s gonna be awesome to see Conan earlier at night. Conan O’ Brien is the best late night talk show host, that man is hands down, a comic genius!

Report: “Iron Man” still tops box office, “Speed Racer” flops…

Leave a comment

“Iron Man” still stays strong on the no. 1 spot for box office this weekend. “Speed Racer” starring Emile Kirsch is no. 2 making around 20 million.

The Associated Press Reports:

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080511/D90JKPUO0.html

“Iron Man” won’t be no. 1 much longer since “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” came out this weekend. “Prince Caspian” will indeed beat “Iron Man” in world records. I will be seeing “Prince Caspian” tomorrow on my day off of work.

Oh yeah, speaking of “Iron Man”, I picked up the video game version of “Iron Man” for the PS3 at Best Buy today. I won’t play the game right away though, I need to beat “Grand Theft Auto IV” first before I start to play any other games. I think I’m officially addicted to videogames again. I don’t buy music CD’s or movies on DVD’s much anymore ’cause I’ve gotten back into videogames. I went out shopping with parents this afternoon since it’s Mother’s Day and all so I decided to go to Best Buy ’cause I couldn’t resist in buying something for myself.

Report: Actor Dennis Farina arrested at Los Angeles airport…

Leave a comment

Actor Dennis Farina who played in movies as mostly a detective/cop in most of his career and he is also a former “real life” cop was arrested at Los Angeles airport carrying a loaded gun on his way boarding a plane.  He had a .22 caliber in his briefcase and it was loaded. He was in a flight to go back home in Chicago, Ill. Farina was apologetic and cooperative with police and he claims he forgot the gun was in his briefcase.

More on it here:

My question is, how did he get through a metal detector without being caught with it? Don’t airports search everything people own when you go to flights?

Farina must of had it hidden pretty damn good.

Cool Video: Spin Doctors performing yesterday’s Tulip Fest…

Leave a comment

Couple of videos of Spin Doctors in Albany, N.Y. from yesterday! Enjoy! 🙂

Kev

Edit to Add: Does the audience look bored to death? Seems like they are talking throughout their set and not even cheering or even dancing to their music? Something tells me that Albany at that audience aren’t really Spin Doctors fans they are just there for outdoor entertainment?

Report: Indiana Jones game announced for PS3/Xbox?

Leave a comment

I was just browsing the Best Buy website for PS3 games and I came across something that surprised me. There is a new Indiana Jones game coming out for the PS3/Xbox. Above is a screen shot from the upcoming new game. Best Buy says it’s being released March 1st of 2009 but doing research in other videogame sites they all say the release date is “to be announced”.

You can see more screenshots here:

Not sure if Harrison Ford does the voice overs for Indy in the game or not, but either way, doesn’t matter, it’s great that a new Indiana Jones videogame is finally happening and I’ll be getting it when it comes out.

From all the screen shots I’ve seen, looks like this game is not based on any of the 4 films, the videogame looks to be a new original story.

Report: Miley Cyrus to make music with John Travolta?

Leave a comment

Geez, the Miley Cyrus news just won’t end. It also seems that John Travolta wants to get back into music again. Travolta was a singer back in the 70’s/80’s, he went back into musicals by starring in “Hairspray” musical movie and now it seems that he is interested in making music with Miley Cyrus.

The article doesn’t really say if they are dueting on one song or making an entire album together. Kelly Preston, Travolta’s wife revealed the news to E!

More on it here:

As long as Travolta doesn’t make her take off her clothes to her bra and panties while dancing on stage together, it’ll be okay!

Report: OJ Simpson drugged up and confessed to ex-manager…

Leave a comment

Exclusively reported to the Associated Press, one of OJ Simpson’s former cronies named Mike Gilbert, a memoribilia dealer is releasing a book titled, “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse” is being released in bookstores everywhere this coming Monday. The book is about 230 pages and will cost $27.95. In the book, is a tell all story of how Gilbert was hanging out with The Juice smoking weed, OJ was really high that he confessed to him that he murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

OJ’s lawyer, Yale Galanter, of course responded to this saying that Gilbert is a delusional drug addict that is doing this for the money and saying he is having trouble paying taxes with the I.R.S. Gilbert was a die hard fan of Simpson’s football career “before” his murder trial, that he and Simpson became friends, and doing business together.

The Associated Press Reports:

Gilbert will not be a delusional man if all of this turns out to be true. I think Gilbert is trying to help the Goldman’s and the Brown family, it isn’t about the money the way I see it.
