Report: Marilyn Monroe secret sex tape sold…

Leave a comment

Marilyn Monroe is back in the news again. According to a report by the New York Post, a copy of the 15 minute, 16 mm film sex tape that includes Marilyn Monroe herself has been sold to a New York businessman. The original film is kept locked up by the F.B.I. and still remains F.B.I. top secret to this day. The tape shows Marilyn herself giving an unidentified man oral sex (or giving him a blowjob if you want to call it that). In the old days, J. Edgar Hoover was trying to determine if the man was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy. The tape is of course in black and white, it shows Marilyn on her knees in front of the man. I’m sure you get the idea.

The New York bussiness man who bought the tape said he got it to do research for a documentary he’s working on Marilyn.

FoxNews reports:

All this is doing is just trying to make the world jealous.

It’s like, “I can see the tape and you can’t”.

The dude that bought the tape better lock it good and hide it good.

I can totally see why he wouldn’t reveal his real name and kept it anonymous so they won’t make the burglars curious.

Report: Gene Wilder…actor turned author…

Leave a comment

Ever wondered what the legendary comic actor Gene Wilder’s been up to after all these years? To refresh your memory on who he is…Gene Wilder starred in iconic roles such as “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, “Young Frankenstein”, “Blazing Saddles”, “See No Evil, Hear No Evil”, “Stir Crazy”, “The Woman In Red’, “Haunted Honeymoon”, etc.

Gene Wilder finally came out of hiding after all these years by making a special TV appearance on the TV show “Role Model” for TCM (Turner Classic Movies), on the show, he had a special interview with 30 Rock’s Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin revealed that he is Gene Wilder’s biggest fan and inspiration in acting. Alec Baldwin begged Gene Wilder to make a return to movies but sadily, Gene denied a return.

In this article, Gene explains why he never starred in a new comedy film. A man that we once loved back in the 80’s. Gene reveals that he got an offer to do a comedy film but he turned it down because simply put, he doesn’t like the way comedy films are going today. He doesn’t appreciate and is offended at the profanity over humor as I’m sure he doesn’t like the sex and drugs used constantly in comedy films as of late. Gene feels that today’s comedy films aren’t like what they used to be in the 80’s.

What is Gene Wilder doing as a career after all these years? He’s been writing novels. He has his own autobiography titled “Kiss Me Like  A Stranger” and he’s wrote a few fiction novels as well. He seems more happy writing novels than acting. So if you ever expect Gene Wilder to appear on the big screen again, not a chance. The last thing he did in acting was that he appeared in two episodes of the sitcom “Will and Grace” back in 2003.

More on it here:

Great to hear from Gene again!

“See No Evil, Hear No Evil” was one of my favorite movies of Gene’s other than Willy Wonka.

Good luck Gene and thanks for the entertainment!

NEW: Rambo (2008) 2 Disc Special Edition/BluRay – May 27th…

Leave a comment

The new Rambo (2008) DVD/Blue Ray cover is released, and there it is above. How cool is that? Isn’t that a sweet cover! I think it’s badass! Rambo will be getting a DVD and BluRay release on exactly May 27th. So mark your calendars and pick up a copy that day!

The DVD extras will feature audio commentary with Sylvester Stallone, deleted scenes, six behind the scenes featurettes, and a digital copy for the film for your Itunes and Windows Media players.

The BluRay version will include the same extras, but it will also have a gallery of trailers from the 3 previous Rambo films, and a bonus view audio picture-in picture commentary with Sly Stallone.

For those who don’t want the 2 disc SE or the BluRay, there is also a single disc edition with no extras, just the movie itself.

More info here:

I’m definitely buying the BluRay baby!

I’m really curious to see what the picture is going to be like in the Blu Ray edition.

I hope Sly does an “Extended” version of Rambo on DVD down the road to make the movie longer. I know he shot a lot more than 90 minutes of the film.

Whose Side Are You On: J.K. Rowling vs. Steven Vander Ark…

Leave a comment

Legendary author of the “Harry Potter” series, J.K. Rowling is set to battle in court against a die hard Harry Potter fan who plans on releasing a “Harry Potter Encyclopedia”. Rowling is set to testify Monday (that’s tomorrow) in court where she had her lawyers to arrange her a private security for Rowling in the courtroom to be away from die hard fans in attendance.

Rowling filed the lawsuit against the publisher of the “Harry Potter Lexicon” (the name of the Encylopedia) last year to stop them from publishing it. The author of the book is die hard Potter fan Steven Vander Ark. Rowling actually loves Vander Ark’s website that he runs himself: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/ but she draws the line of publishing it and charging $24.95 for the Encyclopedia.

Rowling wants to prove that this book is violating her copyrights and she is worried that the Encyclopedia will create a negative impact with Harry Potter fans:

The Associated Press Reports:

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080413/D9012L9O0.html

I’m with Vander Ark on this one. This just shows how much of an egostitical and money grubbing woman that J.K. Rowling is, she doesn’t care about the fans, she only cares about herself and her own ego.

Vander Ark has every right to release this Encyclopedia.

Look at all these legendary movie franchises that has released Encyclopedias, everything from Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, the Terminator, James Bond, Lord of the Rings, etc. You can find those Encyclopedias everywhere in bookstores.

I don’t think you need permission from it’s original creator to do those movie Encyclopedias.There’s a 1st amendment in writing novels. If J.K. Rowling loves his website and has no problem with it, I don’t see what’s the big deal about a book. She has no case and nothing to prove. Vander Ark will win all the way.

Report: Dr. Phil…aka Dr. Attention Whore…

Leave a comment

Dr. Phil bails out 16 year old Mercades Nichols, one of the teenage girls jailed for being part of a controversial video of 8 teenagers beating another teenager. The video created controversy in the national news and on the internet. There were 6 girls and 2 teenage boys involved in the incident. The teens ages were from 14-18.

The Associated Press reports:

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hvagSgm1HXuqqnyOyTARSrD4H8GwD900Q5P00

A report on TMZ said Dr. Phil pulled the plug on a show about this incident.

See the Bill O’ Reilly video about it below.

While I do agree that these kids deserve jail time. How do you know if the victim is innocent? Stop feeling sorry for the victims peeps. You never know the victim could be faking it just to be part of some controversy for attention. How is law enforcement going to prove that video is real? How are they going to prove that there is harrassment and bullying going in there?

All kids go through bullying like that in high school, even I myself was a victim of bullying in high school. Those kids could have filmed the video for online entertainment, period. I don’t think it’s for myspace humiliation. They’re fuckin’ kids. They like to play like that. It’s the way high school kids are. Get a life people.

Somebody please boycott Dr. Phil.

Report: Katie Couric to take over Anderson Cooper?

Leave a comment

The reason I had never posted news about the Katie Couric controversy yet, ’cause I’m simply confused. Is she really leaving CBS or not? The rumours are swirling all over the place. And so far, Katie Couric herself has not yet came out to confirm it. If it’s true that Katie is leaving CBS this soon, she could be switching jobs with Anderson Cooper’s show.

More on it here:

http://www.newsoxy.com/katie_couric/may_swap_with_cnns_anderson_cooper/article10740.htm

Ratings, ratings, ratings….blech…that’s all TV fuckin’ cares about.

CNN shouldn’t get their hopes up this early ’cause Katie Couric leaving CBS is just a big fucking rumour right now. Katie should leave CBS and not work with CNN. She certainly deserves her own TV show with her name in the title. She’s certainly one of the best female news anchors I’ve ever seen on TV ever.

Katie is sexy and good looking, she’s got a great speaking voice, she has it all. Wish the media would shut up and leave the woman alone. It’s all up to her if she wants to leave or stay in CBS. It’s all up to her if she wants to confirm things to the media. When will people get that through their thick heads.

Report: WWE invites Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to RAW April 21st…

Leave a comment

The World Wrestling Entertainment invited Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to the special 3 hour RAW episode April 21st to settle their differences in the wrestling ring. My guess is that WWE is inviting them to do their presidential debates in the ring, not have an actual wrestling match. It’s no surprise to me that WWE would pick up on their feud because WWE likes that kind of stuff.

I’m sure Barack and Hillary would be there. Somehow Vince McMahon will be involved by interupting their speeches, I’ll imagine that Vince McMahon will come out saying stuff like, “I’m Vincent Kennedy McMahon dammit, I’m the one that should be president of the United States, not these two phonies.”

Maybe Hillary and Barack will be involved in a match but they obviously won’t be wrestling, they’ll probably be at ringside by a wrestler. Just like at last year’s Wrestlemania with Vince vs. Donald.

The WWE will do anything to raise ratings.

Thought: Stephen King has lost it…he is not a good writer anymore…

Leave a comment

I just got done watching the film “Stephen King’s the Mist” which was written and directed by Frank Darabont, I can tell you right now, that “The Mist” is possibly one of the worst movies I ever seen. It was downright horrible. Bad acting, bad directing, bad writing by Darabont, just an all out terrible movie that I’m not gonna review it. What’s worse about the movie is the ending to the movie version of “The Mist”. I will not talk about the ending since I don’t want to spoil anything. “The Mist” was crap crap crap. I don’t see how this film is getting good reviews by critics and the fans. The movie was awful. King didn’t write the script/direct “The Mist” Darabont did I know, but Darabont did work closely with King for this movie just like Darabont did with “The Green Mile”, and “The Shawshank Redemption”, those two movies were better than “The Mist”.

I used to admire Stephen King’s novels back in the 80’s and early 90’s but his new work hasn’t been that great. I am currently reading Stephen King’s new novel “Duma Key” and it’s hard to get into, I’m not getting into that story, it’s boring to read. King’s work keeps getting lamer and lamer. I believe he really has lost it since his accident when he got hit by a van years back. His writing was great before then, his writing is horrible now.

He can’t come out with any good “movies” or “books” anymore. His past work with books like “The Stand”, “It”, “The Shining”, “Pet Sematary”, “The Talisman”, “Needful Things”, “The Dark Half”, “Christine”, “The Tommyknockers”, the Dark Tower series, etc. They were all amazing and mind blowing stories.

Hollywood can’t make good movies for him anymore as well. Not even his new TV mini series movies are good anymore. COME ON STEPHEN! Come out with some decent work so we can all worship the writer we all once loved back in the good old days.

Stephen King used to be one of my big heros back in the old days but I’m losing interest in him. One of his new books “Lisey’s Story” was the only good new novel he put out. “Lisey’s Story” was amazing but his other new stuff is trash.

The problem is, Stephen has been staying away from the horror genre lately. He’s been writing more serious stuff. If he gets back to writing true “horror” again, he’ll get all his old fans back. We need the real Stephen King back, where’s the “master of horror” that he once was?
