BREAKING NEWS: CNN admits Piers Morgan taking over for Larry King is true!!!

Leave a comment

After months of many rumours hit the web that “America’s Got Talent” judge, Piers Morgan could possibly take over Larry King Live, CNN admits that the news is true. Piers will be taking over in January. Piers himself released a statement saying it’s a dream come true for him and something he always wanted to do was to take over Larry King.

Pierse doesn’t plan to leave “AGT” as he plans to do both shows, “AGT” and “CNN Live” at the same time, since both shows are in the Los Angeles area.

Oh my! I can see Piers interviewing a lot of competitors from “America’s Got Talent” on his show. Don’t be surprised if the 10 year old opera singer, Jackie Evancho, could be his first interview guest in January.

Report: Clint Eastwood could have been Superman and James Bond…

Leave a comment

While promoting his new directed movie, “Hereafter” that stars Matt Damon, Clint Eastwood admits that he was offered by Warner Bros. to play Superman and was offered to play James Bond, but Eastwood turned them both down. The reason? Eastwood always did roles that were more realistic. Eastwood never wanted to play silly superheros, he always felt like those roles were for somebody else but not him. Read more on it here.

Yeah, it’s no secret that Eastwood always did roles that were more real. He’s done roles like that throughout most of his career. Even the films he never starred in but directed, were based on reality too.

Eastwood wouldn’t make a bad Superman, back in the old days, if you think about it. His face has got that Superman look, I think that’s why Warner Bros approached him. Many actors were offered the Superman role: Stallone, Tom Selleck, Nicolas Cage, etc. They were all turned down so the role was more fitting to no one other but the late, Christopher Reeve.

Just imagine Eastwood playing the Clark Kent role too, with the glasses and black hair. I’m sure Eastwood would be able to play the Clark Kent/Superman role pretty well, he just felt someone else was more deserving to that role. Maybe Clint knew that Christopher Reeve deserved it more so Clint talked the film makers into hiring Chris instead?

Thought: What if Mark David Chapman did get released from prison on parole?

Leave a comment

I know Mark David Chapman got denied parole for the 6th time just recently, but what if he was accepted? What would his life be like outside of prison? The reason Mark killed John Lennon was that he wanted Lennon’s fame, everyone knows that. Do I think Mark would kill again if he did get out of prison for parole? In my opinion, I don’t think he would. I’m not defending the guy, don’t get me wrong. I think when he killed John Lennon that day, Mark thought he was going to take his fame and today, I’m sure Mark realized that didn’t solve anything.  Mark just wanted to kill, John Lennon. That’s it, nobody else. Read Mark David Chapman’s history for proof that his only mission was to kill John and he got it.

Reading Mark’s history, he had a lot of problems in his life. He had a huge obsession with Lennon ever since he was a child. His favorite band has always been, The Beatles, which would be the only band he would listen to through his whole life. I don’t think he would have killed Paul, Ringo or George…John was his only target. I don’t think he would kill Lennon’s surviving family members either, that would be Yoko Ono and their sons.

So do I think Mark deserves a second chance at life out of prison?

Yes and No.

For the yes, I can see him being on the outside, trying to change to become a better person, getting more professional help and all that. He probably wants to be with his wife, Gloria full time, also. For the no, he killed a rock n’ roll legend, a legend that meant a lot to so many music fans. I don’t think Mark was all that dangerous of a monster, he just killed Lennon in a fit of jealous rage, that was all. Maybe he does deserve freedom on the outside, maybe he doesn’t. I can understand Yoko and their sons being afraid of this man, but I think there is a possibility that Mark respects Yoko and her family.

Who knows, maybe Mark already became a better person while in prison ’cause over the years he has been in prison for good behavior reading his history which is why he kept getting awarded for parole possibility. Again, I’m not defending the guy, I hated what he did, but I don’t really see him a dangerous animal though. He was just a crazed Beatles fan that made a big mistake. I’m sure he learned from it by now.

CD Review: Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”

Leave a comment

So I finally bought Katy Perry’s new album, “Teenage Dream” from Itunes. Yes, she’s a pop artist…but she’s one of the good ones. When I listened to this record, it really didn’t feel like a pop record to me. It is still kind of rock n’ roll in a way, giving it an 80’s feel of new wave music. Stuff that would you would hear at the boardwalk near the beach at the ocean. While the song, “California Gurls” is a mainstream hit, yes, there are better songs on the album, like the title track, “Teenage Dream” is a great song. The whole record is great. She’s got a unique way of writing current music. The songs on the album are actually pretty tight. Energetic. Her singing is not Celine Dion or Barbara Streisand, but with this album, she proves that she doesn’t have to sing like those artists. Katy Perry is addicting to listen to because she feels like old school music. I hate most mainstream pop music, but for some reason, I keep listening to Katy. She has a romantic feel to her songs that makes men want to listen to her stuff. Her songs makes you feel like you’re in a relationship with her when you listen to her songs. I don’t care what the haters say about Katy Perry ’cause she’s a talented artist. I’m liking her more than Lady Gaga in fact. Katy’s the better songwriter. I need to listen to some pop music for some fun music to workout to at the gym with my Ipod. Katy is indeed good workout music. For those who don’t like pop or Katy Perry, I’d suggest you give this album a listen. You might like it yourself. You don’t have to like pop  music to like Katy Perry. If you’re a rock or metal fan, she’ll make anybody get into her music. That’s how powerful this woman’s music is. I’m going to be listening to this one quite a lot.

Report: Ronald Reagan biopic is on it’s way to the big screen…

Leave a comment

This was bound to happen and yes, it is happening. A Ronald Reagan biopic is on it’s way to the big screen. The film will focus on his life from his childhood to his Hollywood life to being president, all the way up to his death in 2004. The film will be adapted by two different novels, “The Crusader” and “God and Ronald Reagan”. The goal with the biopic is that they want to avoid the controversial mistakes from the 2003 mini series, “The Reagans”, which caused an uproar through the entertainment world. For now, no casting and no director has been confirmed yet, but we will hear about those soon. Read more from the Hollywood Reporter.

Who should play Ronald?

I just hope they won’t give the role to Leo Dicaprio, Matt Damon or Johnny Depp for the young Reagan.

An actor would have to match the young Reagan’s look, here is the young Reagan here:

I would pick either Ethan Hawke or Christian Bale to get the young Reagan.

For the old Reagan, I’d say give it to Fred Ward. Why Fred Ward? Because he looks almost identical to Reagan, on top of that, Fred already played Reagan in a movie once called, “Farewell”. Why not have Fred play him again? I’d say go for it!!!

Report: Bruce Campbell is planning horror film full of horror movie icons much like, “The Expendables”…

Leave a comment

Former “Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell said he saw, “The Expendables”, and Stallone’s new action film just gave Bruce an idea for a movie of his own. Bruce revealed that he is working on a script where he plans to make a horror film full of huge horror movie icons. He came up with Kane Hodder who played Jason Voorhees in the original “Friday the 13th” movies and he wants Robert Englund as well. He’s making it into a horror comedy of course. Read more on the article here.

Who else should Bruce have in the cast of this all star, horror movie?

I’d say he sould get Brad Dourif, who voiced Chucky in the “Child’s Play” films. He should also get Pamela Springsteen, who played Angela Baker in the “Sleepaway Camp” movies. Sigourney Weaver should definitely get a role since she was in “Alien”. Definitely Doug Bradley from the Hellraiser flicks. Maybe one of the Michael Myers actors from the earlier Halloween movies, ’cause Michael Myers had too many actors. Julian Sands from “Warlock”. Tobin Bell from the “Saw” series.

Finally, horror legend, Christopher Lee should get a role ’cause that dude is still alive.

If anybody out there can think of more, feel free to name some.

Pamela Anderson, is set to star the lead in a short film called, “The Commuter” which will be exclusively released to Nokia N8 only and it will be shot in HD. The film makers are giving Pamela Anderson fans a chance to win a sex scene with her. Yes, you get to star in a movie with her. Don’t get the wrong idea, that this sex scene with her will be XXX Hardcore, I’m pretty sure it will be softcore. You probably won’t be able to see her naked or lick her boobies, but you will probably pretend to make out with her, that’s about it.

Not a Cool Video: Is Hulk Hogan in the hospital fake for a TNA storyline???

Leave a comment

Hulk just posted another video of him in the emergency room. He has his new girlfriend in the room with him. He also admitted to watching tonight’s WWE RAW instead of TNA. Could the Hulkster be faking this for a TNA storyline? Is this why he is filming this stuff? Hospitals don’t allow this stuff to be videotaped. If his back injury was that serious, then he wouldn’t be talking and moving his arms like that. This is immediately looking to be suspiciously scripted for TNA TV. See the video here. Don’t believe everything these wrestlers put out there folks. This is another example of “kayfabe” wrestling. He’s sure as hell making this into a TNA storyline. I don’t watch TNA too much but I think Hulk is currently feuding with Ric Flair on TNA. Could Ric Flair himself show up at the hospital room in one of Hulk’s upcoming videos? Stay tuned.

Cool Video: Hulk Hogan posts a videoblog while in the emergency room…

Leave a comment

News hit all over the web today, that Hulk Hogan was rushed to the hospital due to feeling some major back pains. While there the Hulk posted this video, just to prove that the news is true. He must have a mobile phone or something with a built in video camera on it.
Honestly though, this isn’t news that Hulk is injured again. He’s always been injured in wrestling many many times. Maybe he wasn’t wrestling at all in TNA and he still have back pains every now and then because of his wrestling past. This time his back pains must of gotten worse. As you just heard him say, he was scheduled to appear on tonight’s TNA show but he obviously won’t be there now.

If Hulk doesn’t get any better, then his wrestling days might be over for good. I do wish him well though.

Thought: John Lithgow should re-team with Sly for Expendables 2 as a villain role…

Leave a comment

Another actor Sly should re-team with for “Expendables 2” is John Lithgow. As some of you already know, John Lithgow already teamed with Sly as the main villain for the action flick, “Cliffhanger” (pictured above). Would John make a great lead villain for Sly in “Expendables 2”? Absolutely!

While everyone on the internet is listing all these movie stars to star in the sequel, it is kind of weird how Lithgow was never mentioned once. In the first “Expendables” movie, I didn’t care for Eric Roberts villain role, it just didn’t work. I think a role like that would be more suited for Lithgow. Lithgow played the villain in so many films in the past, he is currently playing a villain in HBO’s “Dexter”.

I think John Lithgow would make a great addition to the “Expendables” cast. Lithgow never gets a mention because the guy is so underrated, aka not so popular. If I had to give casting advice to Sly, I would say go for Lithgow as one of the main villains. Lithgow has great acting chops when he does play the villain. Lithgow does a great job on getting people to hate the guy.

I would like to see Sly and John re-team again. It be like Gabe Walker and Eric Qualen back together again!
