Cool Video: Vince McMahon wants WWE fans to help stick up for WWE from this Richard Blumenthal vs. Linda McMahon feud…

Leave a comment

Linda McMahon is running for Connecticut state Senate against Richard Blumenthal. Blumenthal is doing whatever it takes to get Linda to lose the election by blaming the WWE on a lot of things. Such as treating the WWE Divas like sex slaves, violence, wrestlers using drugs & steroids, etc. You get the drill. It was only a matter of time that Vince will jump in on this feud to help his wife. Here he is, urging WWE fans that he wants WWE’s fans to help stick up for WWE and not be looked at in a bad way.

What is my prediction on this heated election in Conn.? I think Linda has a good chance in winning the whole thing. Her WWE controversy is what’s going to help her get more votes.

Watch what Vince McMahon have to say here…

Report: Kanye West album cover banned ’cause of nudity???

Leave a comment

Kanye West is about to release a new album, but his record label banned the album cover ’cause they felt it was too racy. Kanye posted the album cover himself on twitter.

On his twitter page, he also tweeted these:

“In the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now.”

“So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can’t have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings”

While the cover maybe a bit too racy, Kanye haters. I’m going to have side with him on this one. Kanye is so right. Nudity with album covers have been happening for YEARS since the 70’s. Album covers had nudity that weren’t paintings either. The Nirvana album cover Kanye was reffering to, was the album cover for, “Nevermind”, the naked baby in the swimming pool. Also, John Lennon and Yoko Ono even did some nude photo art for albums as well.

Take a look at this list. Those are all albums that had nudity. David Bowie had himself naked as a painting for the album cover, “Diamond Dogs”. The Blind Faith album cover had a naked woman on it as a painting holding a airplane, remember that one?

Kanye’s album cover is not that big of a deal, in my opinion, so it deserves to be published for the album cover. Kanye’s in the right, this time.

Edit to add: Oh yeah, another album cover I forgot to mention is Janet Jackson’s, fifth album “Janet” made in 1993. Remember that one, folks? That album cover had her on it, she was topless, no bra or anything, but she had a guy behind her holding her boobs. That cover was a bit racy but it got published anyway.

Cool Video: Bill Murray accepts Scream Award in a Ghostbusters suit!!! HOLY CRAP!

Leave a comment

Bill Murray attended the Scream awards to pick up his award for Best Horror Film for the film, “Zombieland”, which he had a cameo in. Guess what folks? Bill Murray showed up on stage wearing a Ghostbusters suit! For a long time now, Bill Murray denied returning for “Ghostbusters 3” because he felt too old to be wearing a Ghostbusters suit again. Well, here is proof that he’s not that old and he still looks GREAT in the suit. Bill got a huge crowd reaction too. Come on, Bill! Please return for “Ghostbusters 3”. I think he would want to now after this.

Cool Photo: Marty McFly and Doc Brown reunion at the Scream Awards!

Leave a comment

This pic is so badass, I just had to post it! Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd reunion at the 2010 Scream Awards. Here they are posing for photogs. Ever since these two haven’t been doing the Back to the Future series, their looks haven’t changed one bit. Very weird! I love the Back to the Future trilogy, all three films are great!

Thought: Why do people want Brandon Routh back so bad?

Leave a comment

I look through entertainment movie blogs and message board forums talking about the actor choices for the upcoming new, Superman movie. The most popular picks are Brandon Routh and Jon Hamm. Brandon Routh is the most popular choice, of course. Ya know, I thought, “Superman: Returns” was a pretty good movie, but the only thing is, I never cared for Routh as Superman that much.

The reason people want Routh back is because he’s so similar to Christopher Reeve. Plus everyone wants to see Routh in another Superman movie. Honestly, I would prefer Jon Hamm more than Routh. I said before, I don’t want Routh back. I like Jon Hamm, he’s the better choice, I think.

I know I said this quite a bit, but don’t be surprised that it could be neither Brandon Routh or Jon Hamm as Superman. They could go with Leo Dicaprio due to the success of “Inception” like I said before.

So who would I want to play Superman? Honestly, and here is my 2cents. The Superman role should go to an actor who is not a big name star. In other words, the role should really go to an unknown. Christopher Reeve was an unknown when he came in, so was Brandon Routh. All that stuff with Brandon Routh possibly being considered to come back, all that news is from a UK newspaper, “News of the World”, which are tabloids. So I’m not believing that. The role should go to an unknown. I’m sure Chris and Zack would get a guy for Superman, that we’ve never even heard before. So don’t get all excited that they could get a big name superstar for Superman.

Film Review: I’m Still Here

Leave a comment

So last night, I finally watched the movie, “I’m Still Here” on one of them ppv Movies On Demand things. Here is just a brief review.

This movie is about the mockumentary of actor, Joaquin Phoenix, retiring from acting to focus on a rap career. While Joaquin maybe looked at as a crazy and whacked out person in the media, I didn’t see that at all in the movie. Joaquin was actually seen pretty normal in this film. Yes, he was crazy in some parts but not that bad. What I saw in this film was a guy who is struggling to have a better life, he had a drug addiction with cocaine and other drugs. He changed his personality so people could be able to understand him as a person more. Joaquin may get angry and swear a lot in the film, but there is an emotional and sad part about him. The film showed his feud with the Spacehog frontman, Antony Langdon and Joaquin forms a friendship with rapper, P. Diddy Sean Combs. Through those scenes with Sean Combs, really showed the personality side of things with Joaquin.

The movie was not dark, it had some humorous moments of course, but the film was very serious in a way. The movie is definitely fictional, but I think the film exposed the real Joaquin Phoenix, that he might have a real drug problem like his brother River, had back in the day. Joaquin’s acting in this film was really good as usual, but he might get another Oscar nomination for Best Actor in this film, possibly.

I was pretty impressed with the film, liked it a lot.

Score for “I’m Still Here” (**** = 4 stars as in “excellent”)

RIP: Barbara Billingsley 1915 – 2010

Leave a comment

I always saw, Barbara Billingsley, a childhood hero of mine. I obsessively watched, “Leave it To Beaver” when I was a kid and June Cleaver has always been my favorite character of the show. She is a TV legend and so special in so many ways. She is also known for her cameo in the comedy film, “Airplane”. She also made appearances in sitcoms such as “Mork and Mindy”, “Roseanne”, and “My Name Is Earl”. To me, she is a true TV legend. RIP, June Cleaver.

Thought: Eggs is an important part of a fitness nutrition…

Leave a comment

When you get into fitness, a lot of people are going to question your strange eating habits. Eating healthy and eating weird, maybe strange, yes, but it must be done so you can get the fit body of your dreams. Eating a lot is key to getting a ripped body. Without good eating, you’re never going to get anywhere. I eat 4 eggs a day, w/the yolk. Some people claim that it’s too much but for a fitness person/bodybuilder, not really. For a bodybuilder, you must eat 3-4 eggs a day.

Here is proof on how eggs with the egg yolk is healthy and how egg whites does nothing for your body, see this well written article, here. Read from top to bottom.

I don’t care if people think my nutrition is weird. I vow to do whatever it takes to get the ripped body of my dreams. Do I miss eating other foods? Yes, of course. I need to eat mostly high protein and low carb stuff, all the time. Gotta get used to that fact.

I eat 4 eggs a day ’cause I need the protein. It’s part of a fitness nutrition. That’s the name of the game.

Thought: I wouldn’t really call Superman a crimefighter, MTV!!!

Leave a comment

I just wanted to respond to this article, here.

MTV News said:

“Instead, the DC Comics icon will return to his early days as a crimefighter in a wholly original story.”

Can MTV get anything right? I’ve been a Superman fanatic for many years, ever since I was a child. So I know for a fact, that Superman was never really a crimefighter. The crimefighter is none other than, Batman. Not Superman.

Superman has always been known to save people’s lives. If a plane is about to crash, or if a school bus is about to fall off a bridge, Superman would come to the rescue. If someone falls off a building or if an Earthquake is about to happen, Superman would come to the rescue. Sure, Superman fights some crime, like he would catch burglars and terrorists, but he never went as far as capturing murderers, kidnappers or bank robbers, that’s all Batman.

Why would MTV call Superman, a crimefighter? So stupid, if you ask me. Any Superman fan would know he’s not a crimefighter.
