Fiore Films, announced that actor, Joe Pesci has joined the cast of “Gotti: Three Generations”. Pesci will be playing the “Dapper Don’s” deputy, Angelo Ruggiero. Lindsay Lohan is in talks for an un-named major role in the film.
Deadline, reports.
I bet Lindsay Lohan is going to be Victoria Gotti, “The Dapper Don’s” wife. Just google up pics of Victoria Gotti. Her and Lindsay both look alike.

Now that Joaquin Phoenix is finally out of his crazy rap gimmick, the actor finally announced his next film project. He will star in an untitled religious drama directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, it will star alongside Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Joaquin, hasn’t starred in a new movie since 2008, “Two Lovers”. After that film, he announced he was going to retire from acting to start a rap career. He grew his hair to long, and grew a full beard. Joaquin admitted on his last David Letterman appearance, that his rap career was all an act. It was something fun that he and Casey Affleck came up with.
Joaquin is now done fooling around and he’s finally ready to get back to work! I’m glad, because he’s one of my favorite actors. He’s a good man for this and I’m looking forward to his next film!

Over the years of professional wrestling, when wrestlers retire from the business, most of them retire at such an old age. Many wrestlers retire around the age of 45 – 65. I’m pretty sure that Edge is the first wrestler to retire at such a young age. Edge, whose real name is, Adam Copeland, is only 37 years old. Yes, he’s surprisingly that young.
For the past year or so, Edge, keep teasing wrestling fans that a retirement is up ahead. Turns out that this is serious and real. It’s not a storyline retirement. The most iconic wrestlers are leaving us like crazy: Stone Cold, Ric Flair, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, etc. Triple H is also planning a future retirement. They’re all leaving us. The wrestling world.
I was never a big fan of Edge. Never cared for his wrestling and gimmick. I also thought he was kind of overrated, but I did respect him as a performer though. He did have some pretty memorable matches. I think the best match he ever did was the first “Money In the Bank” ladder match in which he won that one.
This is why the WWE keep shoving John Cena and Randy Orton in our faces, because most of the top guys are gone. There’s hardly anybody left anymore. It’s sad really.
What’s next for Edge? Will he stick around WWE but as a performer and not as a wrestler or will he move on from the wrestling business for good and start a new career? He might be another wrestler to start a full time movie career. Edge can’t wrestle anymore, he was forced to retire out of that. He’s been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, so if he continued to wrestle and if he got injured again, he could end up on a wheel chair for life. He had a long history of injuries over the years. That’s why Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold were forced to retire because of their long history of injuries. Shawn always had a problem with his back, and Stone Cold had a problem with his neck.
While WWE is fake and scripted, injuries do happen for real in professional wrestling. Accidents happen just like any other job. I think Edge should be the special guest referee for the John Cena vs. The Rock match at WM-28, that would be his perfect final appearance in WWE.
Edge had a great career with many classic moments. I wish him well in his future. In honor of Edge, check out the video below.

So I made a Ustream account. I will soon start broadcasting live events there. Live home acoustic performances, Q&A sessions. I think my first live event at Ustream will be a live home acoustic performance. I’ve been rehearsing some of my older songs in preparation for it. When I schedule something I’ll let you all know.

Michael Shannon, the actor himself is interviewed in front of an audience at this year’s RiverRun film convention. Michael admits he is very surprised to get the role as it did come to him quickly and out of no where, he never expected it. He also admitted that he thought the film makers were crazy when they wanted him for Zod. Michael talks about how he got the role and how he auditioned for it. Of course, he isn’t allowed to talk about the plot for the new “Superman” movie.
Michael seem like a very cool and down to earth guy. He looks very excited and psyched for the role too.
Enjoy the video, here.

Alyson Hannigan is set to reprise her role as Michelle Flaherty for the “American Reunion” aka the American Pie sequel. I’m glad that she’s going to be in it, because it wouldn’t be considered a real “American Pie” reunion without her, if you know I mean. Now that she’ll be in it, I’ll go see it because she was one of the best characters of the series.
If they can get Shannon Elizabeth to do a cameo, then we’re set!

The Winklevoss’s long battle over Facebook against Mark Zuckerberg is finally over. A huge announcement made the news today, that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, revealed they couldn’t undo their settlements. They were calling for a $20 million cash payment and partial ownership of, Facebook. The appeal is rejected by the judge.
More on it, here.
Hmmmm, big victory here for Mark Zuckerberg, but I have a feeling that the Winklevoss twins won’t give up on their fight. They’ll find another way to get share of Facebook with good lawyers. I don’t think this feud is done yet. Mark is probably smiling and relieved….for now anyway.

In other blogs and movie forums, I’m seeing a lot of mixed opinions on this casting and the choice of villain. Many people are disappointed that they are using General Zod again. Implying that General Zod has been used so much for other Superman movies. People are complaining that this could be a remake of “Superman II”. They are also saying that there are many other Superman villains that can be used for the next film, people are listing: Brainiac, Darksied, Toyman, Metallo, Doomsday, etc.
First of all, General Zod wasn’t used that much. He was only in a small scene for “Superman: The Movie” and had a leading role for “Superman II” as the film’s leading villain. That was all. I don’t know what people are complaining about.
Secondly, I think General Zod was picked because it was right for the story and it made a lot of sense to use him. I don’t think it will be a remake to “Superman II” because Zack Snyder said many times in his interviews that he hinted, Superman will be a different film than all the others. He said before, that this film will make you feel like there are no other Superman films. It’ll be realistic and something different.
General Zod is a psychotic character, that makes you want to hate the character. I think Michael Shannon will achieve that goal easily. Michael Shannon have played psycho villains in so many movies. Michael Shannon plays the best asshole in films. This is why he was landed the role for General Zod because it is what the character needed. A psycho madman that even you would be scared of him.
As for why they are using General Zod again, like Zack Snyder said, he was the only villain to get more insight out of Superman like no other villain could, and I agree. In “Superman II”, General Zod never knew who Kal-El was (Superman’s real name), but Zod knew his father, Jor-El from Krypton. Zod was the only villain to know who Supe’s real family was from the planet Krypton. Maybe that’s what the storyline will be for the next movie? It will reveal more about Superman’s past and the only villain who can do that is, General Zod.
I would also think, that another reason Zod was picked because he is Superman’s top villain. If they used any other villains, then this movie would probably bomb. If other villains were used, they would probably turn them into CGI characters. You don’t want that, do ya? I think it’s better using a human villain. General Zod was picked to help draw people to the film when it comes out.
I wish people wouldn’t bash this so early. Why? For a few reasons. We have no idea what the plot is going to be about and we haven’t even seen a trailer yet. The reason everyone is accusing this movie of being a remake of “Superman II” and the first movie is because that’s what it’s looking like so far. To me, that’s what the film makers want people to think. They want people think it will be a remake of the earlier movies at first, but when the plot and trailer comes out, it might be different. Zack Snyder and WB’s way of teasing us.
I think it’s a smart move to use General Zod again. Superman needs to be an action movie. The action for “Superman II” was very good, but that was back in the old days when CGI wasn’t around, they were using green screens back then. If this movie is using: Zod, Ursa and Non again, I think this will be a better action movie than “Superman II”.
General Zod is an important Superman villain. I think he was picked for a good reason, it wasn’t a random pick. I’m sure they could use other villains easily, but whatever is right for the story they need to do. I trust them with this movie, 100%. I believe they will make a great, “Superman” movie that everyone will be happy with.

Last night, I watched the Swedish film, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” on Netflix. Honestly, I thought the film was a piece of shit. It left so much out of the story and changed the story around a bit. It was different from the book. Plus, the movie was kind of boring itself. The only thing I loved about it was that I think that Noomi Rapace made a perfect Lisbeth Salander, she was quite amazing in that role though. That’s the only thing I liked about it. Sad they had to ruin the movie.
In my opinion, I think Noomi Rapace should be playing the Lisbeth character again for David Fincher’s American version of “Dragon Tattoo”. Rooney Mara doesn’t really fit as the character, in my opinion, I liked Noomi more.
I hope David Fincher’s version will stay true to the book and not leave too much out. Only thing changing from the book is the ending. I don’t mind if the ending gets changed, as long as the rest of the story is the same as the book. I think David Fincher’s version might be a better film, hopefully.

At the Greenwich Y earlier this afternoon, I was doing seated calf raises. I had some dude come up to me in the middle of my workout and he told me, “You’re looking pretty cut, brah”. I’m like, “thanks”. I still seem to be getting feedback on my physique every time I hit the Y.
Many people struggle to get ripped. Get the body of their dreams. How did I do it when I’ve only been doing it for 2 years? Simply put, clean eating. Eating is the only possible way to get ripped, doesn’t matter how hard you lift weights, gotta eat right in order for your muscles to grow and repair faster. You don’t need to rely on supplements and whey protein ’cause I don’t. I used to drink whey protein once a day but I gave up on them. Whey Protein or Protein Shakes are a big lie and they don’t really get you ripped. The supplement industry wants your money. That’s all.
I prefer to get my protein the old school way. Get protein from real food. It seems to be working fine for me. Even if I don’t drink whey protein anymore. I still seem to be getting good gains just by eating right most of the week. Eating is key to getting the body you want.
Many people seem to think that they can lift weights and eat whatever they want to. No wonder they struggle! Here’s the secret to getting ripped quicker: 1) If you can eat healthy all week eating high proteins, healthy carbs, whole grains, healthy fats, fibers, etc. 2) If you can work out hard for each body part one day a week 3) If you get plenty of resting 4) If you can do plenty of cardio 5) If you can get 8 hours of sleep a day (sorry to you nightowls out there), then you will get the body that you want.
You can tell that I know how it’s done and I take it very seriously. It’s nice to see that I get positive feedback on my physique everywhere I go, it’s starting to happen. Change your nutrition to healthy, stop the drinking and the smoking (that means weed too), then you’ll accomplish your goals if you change your lifestyle totally.
If I can get ripped, so can you. It’s not that hard to do either, it was all too easy.
