Report: Billy Joel pulls the plug on “The Book of Joel” memoir!!! Bummer!!!

Just a while back, Billy Joel announced on his official website that he had plans in releasing a memoir titled, “The Book of Joel”, which was set to be released in June. Not anymore. Billy scrapped the project, he’s no longer doing it. The reason? Simply because he doesn’t want to go back to the past.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

While it is a bummer, that he changed his mind, it is understandable. He did have a difficult life and him writing about the past, would only come back to haunt him. He doesn’t want that.

If he wanted to write a book, he could have just focused on the music only, leaving his personal life out of it. Oh well, it’s a good idea to keep your life private and not make your life for the whole world to see.

I just hope Billy gets well. I want him to get back into making music, go on tour with Elton John and maybe even release a new studio album. He needs to concentrate on the music.

BREAKING NEWS: Leonard Nimoy will voice Sentinel Prime for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”…

Well, so much for retirement. Leonard Nimoy is going back to work again. Leonard haven’t done any work in the entertainment business since his last appearance on the TV show, “Fringe”, which he did last year. Then he announced retirement.

His retirement didn’t last too long because he is ready to come out of it. Yes, already. Leonard is set to do voice work for Sentinel Prime, for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”. Paramount and Michael Bay already filmed the movie, the voice for Sentinel Prime is the last thing that needed to be done.

It really does seem that Leonard is out of retirement this soon, because Michael Bay said in this article, that Leonard is “Glad to be back“.

Well Mr. Spock, what made you decide to change your mind about retirement this soon? I bet Will Shatner talked him out of retirement. Leonard doesn’t need to do this for money because he’s already loaded with money from his past work in his career. I think he came back because he missed the work and missed his fans.

I’m glad that he came back to acting. Maybe he’s doing voice over work from this point on?

2 years of bodybuilding and still going…

Well, so far it’s been 2 years already since I started bodybuilding and already off to a great start. Getting great results. I may not yet, look like those guys you see in the magazines or in the movies, but it’s a slow process to get there. It takes years to get the successful look that you want. I’m happy with what I have so far, though. It takes a long time to grow big chest pecs but it is slowly improving and getting better. Maybe when I turn 40 or a little older, I’ll get the look that I want. This stuff takes a lot of time and patience.

When you first get into bodybuilding, you can’t expect to get great results right away and that’s what most beginners mistakenly think. They think they’re going to go into a gym and think, “GGggrrrrr, I’m going to look like Arnold in under a month”. Wrong. It takes years to get that muscular physique. I want it badly myself, but I’m not rushing and taking my slow time. That’s what you want to do to be successful, take your time. Too many guys are in a rush.

I got into bodybuilding because Sly inspired me. I want to look like him when I reach his age, so I might as well start now and maybe I’ll get that look when I’m 40 or 50. Sly inspired me because age doesn’t make a difference to get into it. You can get into fitness, no matter the age. I figure if Sly can do it, so can I. That’s how the adventure began. I’m never giving this up no matter what happens. This is a lifelong thing.

I’ll post new progress pics in a few months.

Report: Arnold’s first acting job, he’s now back as, “The Governator” well, sort of…

Arnold’s been teasing a new TV show for a long while. He also teased he is bringing a comic book superhero to the screen, but there was a lot of speculation if he was going to bring Sgt. Rock or Doc Savage to the big screen. Turns out it’s going to be neither of those.

Arnold is working with Marvel legend, Stan Lee, on bringing, “The Governator”, to the TV screen as a cartoon series and Marvel will be publishing comics of the new, “Governator” superhero. Arnold will be voicing himself for the cartoon. “The Governator” cartoon is a crime fighting superhero that combines everything about Arnold’s life.

Read more on it, here.

If both the comic and the TV series is a huge success, I bet a live action version will come with Arnold playing “The Governator”.

Look like we’re not going to see Arnold on the big screen for a long while, because he’ll be working on this. Hopefully, he’ll sign himself to a big screen movie soon, we’ll have to cross our fingers for now.

Report: “Wonder Woman” costume changed due to negative critics from fans online…

Well, the film makers of the new “Wonder Woman” TV show have been paying attention to the fan reviews of the new “Wonder Woman” costume. Well photos of Adrianne Palicki filming the show in costume hit the web today. They totally changed the costume and her look a little bit. The costume is less “shiny” and less skankier looking. Plus, they toned down the make up and lipstick on her face too.

See the pics, here.

Honestly, they didn’t have to change it because most people hated it online. I liked the first costume more because it gave her a current and futuristic look.

Anyhow, I’m looking forward to the show, from the looks of the pics, it looks to be action packed.

Thought: Will Kane turn heel at Wrestlemania this Sunday???

Kane, the big Red Machine, is in a match at this year’s Wrestlemania with the Big Show, Santino Marella and Vladmir Kozlov. They are going against the wrestling group called, the Corre. Kane has been a babyface for a little while in the past. I have a feeling his babyface character isn’t going to last long ’cause Kane is possibly going to turn heel at WM-27 this Sunday. I hope so, ’cause I don’t like Kane as this happy like babyface to entertain fans.

I like Kane as this evil, psychotic monster more, and I’m praying he will go back to that this Sunday. That’s how I think the Corre is going to win. I’m hoping Kane will beat the hell out of Big Show when the match is over.

Kane have tried a babyface turn before, I just don’t like it on him. I’m crossing my fingers, Kane will turn heel (badguy) this Sunday. WM-27 shall be a great ppv. I’m hoping it won’t suck.

Report: Sylvester Stallone to get his “Cobra” car back!!! Congrats Sly!!!

In the 1980’s, “Cobra” was filmed. It was that car that made the film great for what it was. “Cobra” was one of my favorite action films by Sly. It didn’t do well in the box office, but still was an excellent action movie. Marion Cobretti was a different character than Rambo. Cobretti was more psychotic and dangerous than Rambo, in my opinion.

Sly kept the car after the movie was made. In 1994, the car was stolen straight out of his garage. Sly didn’t know the whereabouts of that car until in 2009, the car finally resurfaced at an auction by this un-named company that provides “on-camera vehicles for movies”.

Sly filed a lawsuit at this company for stealing this car. The lawsuit was settled and this company agreed to give the car back to it’s rightful owner.

Read the report here, at TMZ.

Congratulations Sly!!! I can’t wait to see new pics of Sly reunited with the car! I bet Sly will keep the car locked up good to keep it away from thieves.

Now that he has the car back, is a “Cobra II” going to be in the works soon? Hopefully. I always liked that character and it will be great if Sly plans a sequel, using that same car.

Cool Photo: Lay Cool hangs with Snooki and Trish Stratus at a bar…

Lay-Cool may seem like enemies against Trish Stratus and Jersey Shore’s “Snooki”, but in this photo, shows that they are actually good friends. Here they are, hanging at some bar. I can’t believe that dude in the background, had his back turned on them. If I was at that bar, you can betcha I would have asked for a photo with them or an autograph.

Cool Video: Brock Lesnar says “Never say never” for a return to professional wrestling!!!

Well, as expected, Brock Lesnar is out doing a slew of interviews for the media, to promote his new book, “Death Clutch” and “TUF 13”. In this new interview, the interviewer asked him if he’ll ever make a return to professional wrestling (she’s referring to WWE). Brock’s surprising answer, that he says, “Never say never, it’s a possibility whenever his UFC career is done”.

If Brock can last that long in UFC that is. If Brock can’t win against Dos Santos, and if Brock gets his ass beat once again, then Dana could let Brock go. A Brock return to WWE may not happen this soon but maybe in the next several years or less. Brock needs to prove to the world if he can last that long in UFC.

See this interesting interview, here.
