Report: Kevin Bacon set to star in a serial killer TV series, but he won’t be playing the serial killer…

Kevin Bacon is heading back to the small screen to star in a serial killer TV series, which will air on FOX. Kevin is mostly known for playing villains on the big screen in movies, but he won’t be playing the serial killer in this series. It looks like he’ll be playing the FBI agent. If all good with Warner Bros., the 1st season will have a 15 episode run.

More on the story, here.

I like Kevin Bacon as an actor but it seems that he’s been staying away from big screen movies and doing TV work more. Is this a sign that he’s about ready to hang up and retire from acting soon?

Kevin’s a great actor. Some of my favorite films that he’s been in are: The River Wild, Sleepers, Stir of Echoes, Death Sentence, and he was good in X-Men: First Class.

Thought: Um, why are people mourning, Don Cornelius???

I don’t understand people feeling sorry for the death of, Don Cornelius. He was a legend and an icon for creating the popular show, “Soul Train”, but the guy doesn’t get my respect. What made him want to shoot himself? Well look at his history. The guy was a woman beater. Remember his 2008 arrest for a felony domestic violence charge? I’m pretty sure his ex-wife, Victoria, is now relieved that he’s gone. Plus, suicide is a pretty selfish thing to do. He maybe a legend and a talented man, but that doesn’t make him a good guy. Therefor, this guy doesn’t deserve an obit here on my site.

EDIT TO ADD: I don’t mean to be an ass, but you gotta look at reality, people. I used to watch “Soul Train” when I was a kid, I used to respect him, yes, but the man had a lot of problems in his personal life. Gotta look at reality, folks.

A UK man’s custom Star Trek home gets destroyed after a heated divorce…

A man named, Tony Alleyne, who is from the UK, is a big time, Star Trek, geek. Yes, he’s a die hard fan. Tony is so obsessed with Star Trek, that he even turned his home into a Starship Enterprise. It took years and lots of money to build. His wife couldn’t stand it, so she divorced him and now she wants to sell the home since she owns it. Since she’s selling the home, Tony has no choice but to destroy all the Star Trek stuff he built in it.

Tony admits he was upset and he plans to rebuild, when he gets his own home.

Read the full story and see photos of the home, here.

In my opinion, his ex-wife is a pretty selfish bitch that couldn’t appreciate his love for, Star Trek. Lessons learned, Tony, never marry a woman who is not a die hard, Trekkie. That would be a pretty cool house to live in, I would go crazy over it, since I’m a Trekkie myself.

If he wants to get married again, then he should find a woman who loves Star Trek as much as he does, that way he would not have to go through this again.

Pat Sajak, drunk behind the wheel???

Pat Sajak appeared in an interview with Dan Le Batard’s “Highly Questionable” show on ESPN, and Sajak admitted that he and his longtime show partner, Vanna White, used to get drunk on “Wheel Of Fortune”, in the early days. Sajak says, he used to be bored with the show back in the old days, so during the 2 hour dinner break, he and Vanna would go to a bar to drink margaritas. Sajak claims the only reason he did it, was so it can help bring out the fun and excitement hosting the show.

Read the full story, here.

I’m sure Sajak still drinks margaritas with Vanna to this day, just not on the job. Now it makes me wonder if Sajak ever slept with Vanna? Wouldn’t surprise me if he did bang her a few times.

Report: Kiefer gives more details on the big screen “24” movie!!!

Since the “24” big screen movie has been announced, the fans have wondered how the movie is going to do the timing. You know, the ticking clock thing. Kiefer is slowly giving us more details on the big screen film of, “24”. He says the film will not be in real time. They’re going for a different feeling this time around.

Also, will this film get a hard R rating after all? Kiefer hints that Jack Bauer will have a bit of a potty mouth and he may swear & cuss at the badguys.

Read what Kiefer have to say, here.

As you can see, Kiefer is still keeping the plot/synopsis of the movie secret. Will Tony Almeida and Chloe O’ Bryan return? It’ll be interesting if they do.

I love it that we may get a foul mouth Jack Bauer. If you seen the show, that guy doesn’t mess around. When Bauer gets pissed, you should be scared. That’s one reason why I love the character so much. Can you hear Bauer screaming, “Where’s the fucking bomb?” Then I can picture the audience in the theater cheering for him after saying that.

I hope we get an R rated, “24” movie, so we can hear some swearing  and it can be a violent movie with blood and all.

Big snubs for the Oscars 2012, I can think of a few…

We’re talking about “snubs”. Who’ve been left off the nomination lists, of who you think should have made it?

I can think of a few snubs, big time:

– Mel Gibson for Best Actor “The Beaver”

– Nick Nolte for Best Supporting Actor “Warrior”

That’s it. I’m sure Mel was considered for a nomination, but due to his troubled past, it might create some controversy if they gave him something, but his personal life should be kept away from his film career. Mel should have made it.

Report: Rooney Mara gets Oscar nomination for Best Actress!!!!

Wow! What a shocker! I didn’t think the Oscars would give “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” any Oscar nods, but they did end up giving Rooney Mara, a nomination for “Best Actress” for which she played, Lisbeth Salander in the film. The film also got a nod for best cinematography, editing, and sound mixing which is pretty cool! I’ve always thought Rooney’s performance in “Girl”, was Oscar worthy ’cause it was such a great performance and so intense. However, though, I don’t think Rooney is going to get the win for this category. The win for “Best Actress” will probably end up going to Michelle Williams, but it would be cool if Rooney got it ’cause she deserves it more than Michelle, in my opinion. I think the only reason Michelle is getting all the credit and recognition is because of Heath Ledger.

As for the other categories, I’m happy with the “Best Picture” selections this year. Noticing that Brad Pitt got two “Best Picture” nominations with “Moneyball”, and “The Tree of Life”. The only movies, I’ve seen out of the “Best Picture” nominations are: “The Help”, “Moneyball”, and “War Horse”, I haven’t seen the other ones. I’m hoping “The Help” will get the Best Picture win but it will probably go to “The Descendants”.

I’m predicting George Clooney will win for Best Actor for “The Descendants” as well. I haven’t seen, “The Descendants” yet, but when the film arrives on DVD, I’ll see it then.

“Actor In a Supporting Role”, I hope Jonah Hill gets the win for that one for “Moneyball” ’cause his performance was really good in that film. “Actress in a Supporting Role”, Octavia Spencer will probably get that win for “The Help”.

“Best Animated Feature”, I haven’t seen any of those films, but my guess that “Rango” would probably get the win. For “Best Director” either Martin Scorsese for “Hugo” and Alexander Payne for “The Descendants” will get the win for that one.

“Best Original Musical Score”, I’m hoping John Williams for “War Horse” will get that one. “Music Original Song”, The Muppets most definitely.

Thought: Did I watch “Drew Peterson: Untouchable” last night?

Last night on the Lifetime channel, aired the straight to TV movie, “Drew Peterson: Untouchable” which starred Rob Lowe who played Drew, in the film. Did I watch it last night? I tried to, but immediately got bored and only stayed through the first half hour of it. Then I decided to watch a movie on Netflix instead.

I thought that film was badly acted and the writing was bad as well. Plus, I’m sure the things in that film didn’t even happen in real life and most of the stuff aren’t true. Plus, I think the movie was done in bad taste and disrespectful to Stacy and her family.

Stacy could possibly still be alive out there. It’s either Drew kept her captive somewhere or she’s out in hiding on her own. Don’t always assume that Stacy Peterson is dead. There’s always hope on missing people being found alive. Jaycee Dugard and Elizabeth Smart were both found alive, so Stacy could be too.

Back to the film, I like Rob Lowe as an actor, he’s a talented actor, don’t get me wrong, but this film wasn’t for him. What was he thinking signing on to this?

“Breaking Bad” it is, on Netflix…

As soon as I finish watching “24” on Netflix, I’ll immediately start watching “Breaking Bad” on Netflix. The reason is, “Breaking Bad – Season 5” will start airing at the end of this summer in 2012. So I have plenty of time to catch up with, “Breaking Bad” before Season 5. There were quite a few people who’ve been trying to talk me into start watching, “Breaking Bad”, and I think I’m gonna, definitely. Looks like a great show and I never saw it before.

Report: Is William Shatner done with Priceline commercials finally???

William Shatner, has been doing, Priceline commercials for years, and the company finally decided they had enough with him. He isn’t really being fired, the company felt that they just need to move on from him.

Read more, here.

Oh, give me a break. This is just another one of their jokes. I’m not buying it at all that the Shat is done with Priceline. It’s just to help hype up the upcoming Superbowl, appearances. They’re not fooling anybody, lol….
