BREAKING NEWS: Frodo will be in “The Hobbit”!!!

The news have been confirmed that Elijah Wood will reprise his role as Frodo Baggins for the two “Hobbit” films. It’ll be a small role though as Frodo will appear in the opening scene for both films. It said that Frodo will be told the stories of Bilbo Baggins, so yeah, we’re probably going to hear a narrator tell the story, of the Hobbit.

Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, and Martin Freeman have been confirmed for “The Hobbit” as well.

Read more on it, here.

I’m pretty sold to the Hobbit now, and can’t wait to see it. Glad Peter Jackson is still directing ’cause I wouldn’t see it if he wasn’t directing.

BREAKING NEWS: Howard K. Stern walks Anna Nicole case!!!

This is no surprise to me as I’ve been saying for a long time now that Howard K. Stern is going to walk this case, a free man. Money and power will do that. Stern has been found guilty on 2 charges but not guilty on the 7 other charges. Even if Stern’s 2 charges a guilty, the judge threw them out, which makes Howard, officially a free man.

TMZ reports.

So sad. If I was part of Anna Nicole’s family, I wouldn’t give up until this man is behind bars for the rest of his life. Dr. Conrad Murray would probably walk the Michael Jackson case too. Just watch. Being rich will give you whatever you want.

Report: Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to take over WWE when Vince McMahon steps down???

The Wrestling Observer posted this, about Triple H’s backstage power at WWE shows:

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports those backstage within WWE are very happy that Triple H has a lot more power within the company to make influential changes. The feeling is that although he has had significant power within the company for several years now his current official role will allow a slow transition of the company from Vince McMahon to Triple H as the leading figure. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are expected to be the successors of the company when the time comes.

Notice how the article says, “when the time comes”. Is that a hint that Triple H and Steph could take over WWE ownership, when ever Vince steps down to retire??? Well, Vince can’t retire until he sells the business. Whenever Vince had enough, I’m sure he would sell it to none other than Triple H and Steph. Even though Triple H haven’t been on TV, he still travels to all WWE shows and hangs backstage with the superstars, trying to help run the show.

I don’t use supplements or whey protein…

I don’t rely on supplements or whey protein when building muscle. Well, I used to drink Whey Protein powders but I had to stop. I used to think Whey Protein was an important part of a bodybuilding diet. Most bodybuilders out there make the mistake that they need to rely on whey protein to build muscle quicker and easier. Well, the truth is, you don’t need supplements or whey protein at all, to build.

Supplements and protein powders can be very dangerous to your health. They aren’t good for people who were born with one kidney or if you were born with two kidneys and still have kidney problems, whey protein can destroy your kidneys and your liver too. It can also cause all kinds of problems. Supplements and Whey Protein aren’t healthy as the ads claim. They put all kinds of chemicals in them, that you don’t even know what they are. Supplements are legal, but they can be risky just like steroids can be risky.

Here are some articles to show you that Supplements and whey protein can be dangerous: here, and here.

On top of that, supplements and whey are very expensive, and take a huge bite out of your wallet. I know it did with me. That’s another reason I had to quit whey protein. Supplements can cost $15.99 – $50.00 or more. You have to keep buying more every time you run out, which is even more pricey. Most people obsess with supplemental products because it helps promote the sport of bodybuilding, plus they think they’ll get a quicker transformation that way.

You don’t need supplements to build muscle. To get a transformation, avoid supplements and get your protein intake with real food you get straight from the grocery store. I quit drinking whey protein powders a couple of months ago and I was still able to get my protein intake just fine by eating regular food. I’m still able to keep my muscle and keep growing more muscle even without whey protein powders.

Just keep eating your egg whites, fish, chicken breasts, cottage cheese, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, etc. You’ll continue to build muscle that way.

Report: Sean Penn spends Christmas holiday with children in Haiti…

You can hate actor/director, Sean Penn, all you want. What the man is doing in Haiti is very inspiring and he sure is making a difference. He doesn’t work in Haiti for a publicity stunt or for attention, in his defense, I believe he wants to show the world that he can be a good person. Yes, the man can be a bit of a dick and he has a short temper, but he does have some “good” in him. He can have heart.

Sean spends his Christmas in Haiti,  with Haitian children. In Haiti, the children love Sean, they even sang Christmas carols together.

Read this wonderful story, here.

Keep up the great work, Sean! Will Sean write and direct a movie about, Haiti? I think there will be one coming. Maybe that’s why he works there all the time. Maybe it’s just research for a film?

Report: “The Walking Dead” to hit DVD/Blu Ray on March 6th!!!

“The Walking Dead” fans, get ready to mark your calendars, because the hit TV show is coming to DVD/Blu Ray on March 6th!

See, the Hollywood Reporter, here.

I will sure be getting my own copy! I’ll be getting it on DVD. I don’t collect Blu Ray’s yet. While Blu Ray is impressive, I like to watch movies on DVD better. Whenever DVD gets off the market, then I’ll start collecting Blu Ray. DVD will be around for a while longer though.

I’m disappointed that we have to wait for another year or two for “Season 2” of the show.

Toni Braxton to pose nude for Playboy???

Famed R&B singer, revealed to the whole world that she is up to pose nude for Playboy, yes, show tits and ass, all of it. She revealed the news on her twitter page. It doesn’t surprise me. I mean, look at all scantily clad bikini pictures she’s already put out over the years. Is the world ready to see a 43 year old MILF, in the nude? Would this hurt her career or make it better?

This might hurt her young fans, fans that are in their teens or younger because I’m pretty sure there’s going to be angry parents who won’t let their kids buy her albums only because she did Playboy. I think the only reason Toni wants to do this ’cause no one knows who Toni Braxton is anymore. She was a big star in the 90’s when her “Secrets” album came out, but she is just another one hit wonder artist. I think she wants to do Playboy hoping to get recognized again, an attention seeking thing.

Not many female singers pose naked. Madonna may have posed naked a lot for the media but that’s because she’s allowed to. The public accepted Madonna to pose nude for the public because Madonna has always been seen as this sexual pop star. Toni Braxton is not like Madonna at all.

I like Toni, I’m not knocking her, but I think her doing Playboy is a bad idea. I’m sure you agree. Most female artists don’t pose naked for the public for a reason, because simply put, it’s a bad career move. Madonna did it in her younger years, because she can.

BREAKING NEWS: Eminem “Recovery” is the no. 1 top selling of 2010!!!

You’d think Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle or Katy Perry would top the best selling album of 2010, right? Wrong! This year, rapper Eminem, takes the no. 1 spot as biggest selling album of the year.

Katy Perry did make no. 1 for top selling single for her hit “California Gurls” with Snoop Dogg.

Read the story here, at the Hollywood Reporter.

Congrats Eminem. This is pretty shocking, I’m pretty happy for him. Glad he’s back at the top of his game, and making good music again. “Recovery” is an excellent album and I’ve been saying that for a long time.

Possible matches for Wrestlemania 27

Well, the road to Wrestlemania has officially begun. Wrestlemania 27 will take place on April 3rd in Atlanta, Georgia. What matches do I think will happen this year? Well, here is a few possibilities that may happen.

  • John Cena vs. the Miz for the WWE Title – There’s a huge possibility that Cena could be part of the 30 Man Royal Rumble matchup, and of course, he’ll win, so he can headline Wrestlemania to face Miz for the WWE title. Cena will indeed become WWE Champ again at the next Wrestlemania like always.
  • CM Punk vs. Wade Barrett – The Nexus have thrown it’s former leader, Wade Barrett out of the group. So looks like Wade Barrett will be feuding against CM Punk for a long while.
  • HHH vs. Sheamus – Triple H maybe returning soon just in time for Wrestlemania. HHH may get his revenge against Sheamus this time around. WWE could possibly be saving HHH’s return at the Rumble. Will HHH show up during the 30 man rumble match? I think it’s a possibility.
  • Beth Phoenix vs. Awesome Kong – If the newly signed Awesome Kong makes her debut in time for Wrestlemania which she probably will, I believe she’ll face against Beth Phoenix, because Beth is a big and muscular woman and it would make sense if she went against another big woman.
  • The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar (if not Brock, then it will be against Kane) – If WWE can get Brock in time for Wrestlemania, it would be Undertaker vs. Brock. If they can’t get Brock, then it’ll just be Undertaker vs. Kane again.

Those are the matches I can definitely see happening so far, if I come up with anything else, I will add it in.

RIP: Gerry Rafferty 1947 – 2011

The music world, lost another great one today. Legendary singer/songwriter, Gerry Rafferty, passed away today, after a long battle with liver disease. In 1972, Gerry and his best friend, Joe Egan, formed a band together called, Stealers Wheel. They are known for their hit song, “Stuck In the Middle” which Quentin Tarantino have chosen that song to be included in the film, “Reservoir Dogs”, for the soundtrack. Stealers Wheel only had three albums in their discography and they broke up in 1975. Gerry started a solo career soon after. Gerry Raferty was 63 years old. RIP, and thanks for the good music.
