Man, fuck Elvis, the Beatles and Bob Dylan. I never really listened to Bo Diddley too much hardily in my life to be honest, but after buying a “Definitive Collection” a greatest hits compilation of Bo Diddley’s music, I’ve been listening to it all day!!!! No wonder he is considered a rock god, ’cause that what he is! His music fuckin’ smokes! Glad to finally start getting into his music!

At last night’s Racontuers show in Detroit, Michigan…Meg White the drummer of the White Stripes, Jack and Meg White’s longtime band, made a surprising appearance at the Raconteurs show. While Jack and Meg reunited last night, they didn’t play music together on stage. Meg just appeared to say “hi” to the White Stripes fans who were at the Raconteurs show.

While it is pretty cool to see Jack and Meg back together again, I would still be pretty pissed off leaving the Racontuers concert that Jack and Meg didn’t perform. I’m sure the audience at the show last night were pissed off too.
The Raconteurs should have let Jack and Meg play at least one song at the encore, fuck the Raconteurs, bunch of douchebags.
Meg just disrespected the audience by teasing them that the White Stripes may perform but didn’t. I’m sure the White Stripes fans are hating on them for it right about now. Just showing up on stage to say “hi” was pretty pointless if you’re not there to perform. What a way to show off your ego, Meg.

Blake Fielder-Civil the current husband of pop star Amy Winehouse pleaded guilty to assaulting a bar man at a bar in London and attempted to try and cover up the crime. Blake was arrested last November and been in jail ever since awaiting today’s trial. He clearly confessed to the crime today. Blake faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison. It was said that perverting the course of justice is required life in prison, but it is unlikely it will be imposed in this case.
Amy Winehouse, the troubled pop star herself have been having brushes against the law as well while Blake is in jail.
The Associated Press reports:

Don’t worry, they’ll get rid of Blake’s prison time so he can walk a free man, they’ll probably just give him probation and work for community services as a punishment instead.
Amy and her attorneys will make that happen for him.

There’s an interview with Jason Segel who is making the new “Muppets” movie for Walt Disney. Jason Segel reveals that every character from the Muppets is returning: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, The Animal, Sam the Eagle, the Swedish Chef, Scooter, Mr. Waldorf, Statler, Zoot, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Sgt. Floyd Pepper, Beaker, Lew Zealand, Rizzo the rat, etc. Like he said, the whole gang!
He also said they plan to keep the new Muppet movie very traditional and similar to the first three “The Muppet Movie”, “The Great Muppet Caper” and “Muppets Take Manhatten”. In other words, the next Muppet movie will be a serious one, not a corny popcorn flick like Muppets going to Space or fighting against Pirates or something.

Sounding good so far. If it does live up to the first three, I’ll definitely see it in theater.
I’ve always been a big fan of the Muppets.

Harrison Ford is set to play scientist John Crowley in a film titled “Crowley” which will be made by CBS Films. The film is based on a true story of John and Aileen Crowley whose two children had a rare genetic disorder, instead of giving up hope to cure the disorder for the children, John Crowley hired a researcher to help him. Harrison Ford will also be the executive producer of the film.
Tom Vaughan is in negotiations to direct. The film is adapted from a book titled “The Cure” by author Geeta Anand. CBS is in a hurry to get the project going and plan to start shooting soon.
Variety Reports:

I wonder who they’re gonna pick for Aileen Crowley?
They’re probably gonna pick some big name actress like Gwyneth Paltrow or Reese Witherspoon or somebody of that sort. I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams, and Ben Whishaw.
Directed by: Todd Haynes
Last night, I watched the movie “I’m Not There” on DVD for the first time.
Don’t get fooled by the advertisements of this film, although the film was advertised as a “Bob Dylan” biopic with many different actors playing Bob Dylan, it is NOT a biopic film. It is not really about Bob Dylan. None of the actors, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, etc play Bob Dylan. They all play 6 different characters that are incarnations of Bob Dylan. The six incarnations are: an actor, a folk singer, an electrified troubadour, Rimbaud, Billy the Kid, and Woody Guthrie.
The film is basically putting Bob Dylan’s lyrics from his songs to a live action motion picture. In other words taking Dylan’s stories from his songs and putting ’em all into film. Heath Ledger plays Robbie Clark an actor who falls for a woman and raises a family, gets married, later becomes a self centered jerk and then divorces his wife. Christian Bale plays musician Jack Rollins. Cate Blanchett’s character Jude Quinn a folk singer gets the most screen time in the film than any other character. Richard Gere plays Billy the Kid, and Ben Whishaw a child actor plays Arthur Rimbaud who is a folk protest singer trying to make it big in the music industry.
As far as my thoughts on the movie goes, I’m no Bob Dylan fan, but the reason I wanted to watch this was because it’s one of Heath Ledger’s last films before he died. I watched this film last night, and I would have to say that I really loved it, this really was an excellent film, creative film making and unique storytelling. The acting was perfect by the cast. There’s a lot of music played throughout this entire film since this is a film about music, folk music mostly. There’s mostly Bob Dylan songs played throughout this movie so it can go with the storyline of the film. Todd Haynes directing skills is pretty impressive. The film is a little over 2 hours long but the pacing goes by quick. Very touching and beautiful film all around. I would reccomend it. It was a good DVD blind buy.
Score for “I’m Not There”: **** (4 stars as in excellent)

After the Foo Fighters concert at Wembley Stadium in the UK, Jimmy Page was interviewed by the UK Telegraph newspaper, they of course, asked him if Led Zeppelin will play more live shows in the future. Jimmy Page surprisingly confirms, yes, Led Zeppelin is planning to get back together for more shows in the fall. Jimmy says Led Zep fans will have to wait until the other members of the band are finished with their other musical projects.
Robert Plant is still touring with Allison Krauss and Jason Bonham is touring with Foreigner. Jimmy and Jonesy are not doing any touring which is why they said yes to playing the Foo Fighters show at Wembley.
More on it here:
I hope this one’s true this time and not just some big rumour started by a newspaper. Rumours of Led Zeppelin touring has been happening since the 02 show and it’s hard to believe, don’t believe everything you read online unless you hear from Jimmy Page and Robert Plant about a tour yourself.
I prefer Led Zeppelin make a new album with new songs first before a tour though.

The legendary rock and roll band, Ac/Dc, plans to release the new album exclusively at Wal-Mart stores first, the new album produced by Brendan O’ Brien. While the album still does not yet have a title, the band plans to release the album this fall.
Billboard reports:
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003813749
Look like I’ll have to pick up the new Ac/Dc album at Wal-Mart when it’s out. I wonder why they’re selling it at Wal-Mart first and not everywhere in the U.S.?
I’m willing to bet that this is a test to see if the world still cares about Ac/Dc after all the years the band has been gone. If the CD sells well at Wal-Mart, then the band will sell it everywhere, I think that’s how they’re doing it.

IGN compiled a list of “10 Wrestlers” they think should come back to the WWE. In my opinion it is a bad list.
See it here:
http://sports.ign.com/articles/879/879893p1.html
I disagree with most of them, but agree with a few of them. The ones that I do agree with that needs to return to WWE: Trish Stratus, Diamond Dallas Page, Tajiri, and Bret the Hitman Hart.
Here is my version of “Top Ten Wrestlers That Need to Come Back to WWE”
There’s my list, hope you enjoy it.
EDIT TO ADD: Damn it! I forgot to add The Ultimate Warrior to this list! Oh man, how would I love to see the Ultimate Warrior back!! Fuck yeah, that be amazing!
