Thought: Remember, don’t expect your Oscar predictions to be right…

Leave a comment

Remember, what Sid Ganis said now, “You’re in for a surprise”. The Oscars want to keep the winners unpredictable and surprising this year. “Slumdog Millionaire” may not be the big winner tomorrow, Mickey Rourke could even get robbed, the same for Kate Winslet, and Heath Ledger. Just because all of them are winning big at other award shows, does not mean they will win at the Oscars tomorrow too.

I mean what if “Wall-E”, even gets robbed for Best Animated film and “Bolt” could get the win instead? “Kung Fu Panda” could possibly be a big lucky winner too. Do you think “Bolt” could get the win because of Miley Cyrus and John Travolta? Yes.

You may think the winners will be too predictable for you, but to me, I think it will be unpredictable. Any of them can get the win, so don’t go assuming that your winner picks will be the obvious ones.

Tomorrow’s Oscars will be great and am looking forward to watching it.

Thought: “Late Night” with Conan O’ Brien, final show from last night thoughts?

Leave a comment

Last night’s final “Late Night” show with Conan was a really good one. The show dragged on a little longer so Conan can do a long goodbye message doing all of these “thank you’s” and all that. Notice how in his goodbye message at the end of the show, there wasn’t one mention of Jimmy Fallon taking over his place soon? Weird. Conan was looking so nervous and emotional, he almost cried at the end of his speech, but then he lightened up quickly by saying something like, “taking over the Tonight Show will only get better”.

He had quite a career ride. Conan taking over Leno will not fail with ratings at all. This will only make Conan an even bigger of a star. A LOT more people will watch Conan now that he will be on an hour early soon.

I love Conan, been a longtime fan for years, I’ll be watching him on “The Tonight Show” when he makes his debut on that soon. I have no interest in watching Jimmy Fallon’s show. Unless, Jimmy Fallon has celebrities on his show that I’m a fan of, maybe I’ll watch it, but I’ll be watching Conan all the time still like I always had. It’s kind of sad that he will no longer be a New Yorker, but him moving to a different show is a huge opportunity for him, he will be more famous and big than ever.

Congrats to Conan, I’m happy for the guy. Usually I’m never this happy toward celebrities I don’t know about, but I am with Conan. He’s the fuckin’ man!

The White Stripes were really good too last night by the way. Jack and Meg are both looking great. The song they did was great.

Confirmed: The Max Weinberg 7 still going with Conan for new show…

Leave a comment

Conan fans! To those worry about if Conan’s move to the “Tonight Show” will get Max Weinberg’s band and Conan seperated, that is NOT going to happen. On last night’s episode of Conan O’ Brien, Conan made it clear that each member of the Max Weinberg 7 band are moving to California permanently to still do the “Tonight Show” with Conan. So that’s great news to hear! I can’t see these two apart ’cause that would be weird.

More unsanswered questions that still need to be confirmed about Conan’s new show:

1) Will he still have Triumph the Insult Dog?

2) Will his jokes still be as funny on “The Late Show”, will he be forced to keep his jokes Jay Leno style when he moves to the “Tonight Show”? (I hope not, I’m sure he’ll still be the same old Conan he’s always been)

3) Will the “Tonight Show” still let Conan talk to impersonator Arnold on TV

So much more questions that still needs answers.

I’ve been watching Conan O’ Brien all week, every night. Only 2 more episodes left, tonight and tomorrow, that’s it. The White Stripes have been confirmed as the musical guest of the show for Friday’s last show.

Report: “Friday Night Light’s” Scott Porter to play the Flash?

Leave a comment

Is this the reason why “Friday Night Light’s” star Scott Porter, who plays Jason Street, left the show on NBC? Is it because he wants to go Hollywood and become a big movie star? It looks as though he is trying.

Scott Porter already auditioned for a role as Superman in George Miller’s “Justice League” film which the project is now dead. Now he is rumoured to be one of the top choices to play as the Flash in a live action movie of the DC Comics superhero. I can see why they would want Scott Porter as the Flash. Just look at his picture above. Does his looks smell Superhero all over him? Yeah, the way his face looks, he would look great in a superhero costume.

There are two other “Friday Night Lights” cast members that go back and forth to movies and to that TV show. Taylor Kitsch who plays Tim Riggins plays the main villain in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Kyle Chandler who plays Coach Eric Taylor recently had a role in, “The Day The Earth Stood Still” remake.

It’s great to see Scott pursuing a career in acting of film. Hope a possible film career would happen with Scott and I’m sure he would start getting movie roles soon.

Report: Conan O’ Brien almost done with the Late Show…

Leave a comment

There has been many late night talk shows over the years. None of them have been funny and entertaining except for one who really is…that man, is Conan O’ Brien. In my honest opinion, he is the King of late night talk shows. Jay Leno has never been funny, Jimmy Kimmel has never been funny, Carson Daly has never been funny and Craig Ferguson is not even funny either. Conan O’ Brien is the man who knows how to make someone laugh out loud non stop, and he knows how to keep a smile on your face everytime you lay an eye on him. That’s how amazing of a man Conan O’ Brien truly is. The most entertaining late night talk show host since Johnny Carson, indeed.

After a 16 year long run on NBC late night, Conan is moving to California to take over “The Tonight Show”, to replace Jay Leno, which means America will get to see the most funniest man on TV an hour early. He maybe leaving “The Late Night Show” for good, but don’t worry folks, Conan is not dead and he won’t be leaving TV anytime soon.

As this article says, Conan’s been receiving goodbye gifts from famous rock stars, mostly gifts from legendary guitarists. Those who don’t know this, Conan is a musician, I believe he plays both electric and acoustic guitar, he sings too. Conan is also a drummer himself, I think.

Thanks for the entertainment over the years Conan, and we shall soon look forward to seeing you an hour early which will be awesome. We don’t have to stay up late just to watch him. I watch Conan every single night. One of my favorite shows on TV.

Report: Peter Gabriel cancels Oscar performance and here’s why…

Leave a comment

Former Genesis singer and 80’s icon, Peter Gabriel, has pulled out of his live performance at the Oscars this year. The reason? Simply because he was told that he would only perform the song, “Down to Earth” from the Wall-E soundtrack, for 60-65 seconds during a medley of the three nominated songs for “Best Song” category. He have decided that is not what he wanted. He wanted to perform the song in it’s entirety. Gabriel hopes the Academy will reconsider the medley mix and go back to artists performing the full song for next year.

Variety Reports:

Well, there you have it. The Oscars just revealed one of their secret surprises that they had never done before, performing short sections of songs for a medley. I actually agree with Gabriel that it is pretty ridiculous. The artists who wrote the songs for the movie should be able to perform the songs in entirety like they always did in the past. Kudos for Mr. Gabriel for calling the Academy out on this!!!

Thought: About that Joaquin Phoenix and Letterman video, yep, it was scripted and they are acting…

2 Comments

After seeing the Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman video below, if you watch the ending carefully, you can see Joaquin shaking Dave’s hand for the second time and then he says, “Good job”. I think that shows that Joaquin ruined his prank by getting out of character and acting his real self as the show was about to get off the air. It would have been smart enough for Joaquin to wait to tell Dave, “Good job”, after the show got off the air completely, right? Sorry Joaquin, but you’re not fooling anybody.

This guy is not quitting acting at all, it’s obviously a publicity stunt to plug in “Two Lovers” and his upcoming rap album. He’s just doing his best trying to make it look real.

Cool Video: Joaquin Phoenix interview with David Letterman last night!!!

2 Comments

This is Joaquin Phoenix’s first public TV interview in a long time, the former actor turned rapper appeared on the David Letterman show last night to plug in his final and last film, “Two Lovers”. This interview is pretty bizarre, strange, and hilarious at the same time. Seems like Joaquin is nervous and shy at this interview. Not answering any of Dave’s questions, when Joaquin decides to answer his questions, they are usually short sentences like, “I don’t know”, and all that.

Is this an act by Joaquin or is it for real? Whatever it is, this proves how talented Joaquin is, trying to get people to think if he’s for real or not.

Enjoy.

Cool Video: First look at the Osbournes, “Reloaded”, variety show…

Leave a comment

First TV commercial for “The Osbournes: Reloaded” variety show. It actually looks kind of funny. I especially laughed at those two little kids pretending to be Ozzy and Sharon. Hilarious. I might give this show a shot and watch the first episode to see how it is. It might be entertaining and might be successful.

Oh yeah, and Kelly Osbourne is looking kinda hot too.
