Leave a comment

The former star of the classic hit TV show “Quincy M.E.” Jack Klugman filed a lawsuit against NBC studios, claiming the studio lied about the profits and still owes him money after all these years. The show aired from 1976 to 1983, Klugman played the iconic character Dr. R. Quincy, a doctor who fought crime.

Klugman claims that his contract was lost when his agent died and NBC refused to provide a copy. Klugman is desperate that he wants the money owed from NBC that was never paid.

Hmmmm, well, looking at his “internet movie database” profile he hasn’t done much acting over the years since Quincy. Mostly he’s been doing special guest cameos in various TV shows for one episode. He hasn’t done anything new since 2005.

He must be out of “acting” work and going broke. I do remember this TV show though.

Cool Video: Grand Theft Auto IV – trailer no. 4

Leave a comment

Man, this game looks pretty damn sweet.

Does this mean you get lap dances from the strippers as long you have the money to pay ’em?

I sure can’t wait for this game. I have a feeling this game will be challenging and difficult. It’ll probably take a long time to complete. This game will probably have more than a 100 missions to get through.

Get ready for Apr. 29th gamers!

Report: Madonna wants to save Britney…

Leave a comment

Madonna spoke out to the media telling them that she wants them to leave Britney Spears alone. As everyone knows, Madonna and Britney have had a longtime friendship but in the picture above they briefly appeared to be more than just friends. Madonna still has love for Britney today.

I agree.

I said it before and wouldn’t mind saying it again. Who cares about Britney Spears? Everyone needs to stop obsessing with her and stop giving her the attention she doesn’t deserve. There is more to life than Britney Spears folks. Worry about your own life, so she can worry about hers.

I hardily ever blog about her ’cause I’m sick of her. I find gossip websites like TMZ and perezhilton to be partially responsible in the media being all over her.

I’m sick of seeing Britney all over google news and other entertainment news sites.

It’s a free fucking country, why can’t Britney have it? Who cares if she likes to drive cars with kids in it or with dogs on her lap? Who cares if she wants to have a cup of coffee at a coffeehouse or go do some shopping somewhere?

Britney Spears being in the news all the time will never die down. Leave the girl alone and let her do what she wants!

Report: Hi Ho Silver…The Lone Ranger coming back to the big screen…

Leave a comment

Screenwriters Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio who were writers from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films is in final negotiations with Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer in bringing the famous “The Lone Ranger” back to the big screen.

“The Lone Ranger” first began as a radioshow back in the 1930’s, the popularity of “The Ranger” led to movies, TV shows, cartoons, comics, toys, and more.

The character once hit the big screen in 1981 in a movie titled “The Legend of the Lone Ranger” starring Klinton Spilsbury as the Ranger but the movie failed big time in the box office. In 2003, a TV movie of the Lone Ranger was aired but that failed in the TV ratings as well.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

I’m sure Disney will do a great job so America can care about the character again. It’s Disney, those people don’t mess around.

As long as they don’t get Antonio Banderas as the Lone Ranger in the new film, I’ll go see it.

BREAKING NEWS: Tom Petty announces Mudcrutch reunion with original members…

4 Comments

Tom Petty just announced the official reunion of his former shortlived band before the Heartbreakers, Mudcrutch with it’s original members. The Mudcrutch lineup includes Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Tom Leadon, and Randall Marsh.

In 1974 Mudcrutch left their hometown of Gainesville, Florida to California in search of a record deal because of Tom Petty’s dream of being signed to a major label. The band had difficulty finding a label that would accept their music and later a label named “Shelter Records” signed the band. They released a single titled “Depot Street” backed with “Wild Eyes” but it didn’t chart. While the band was trying to record their first album back in those days, it didn’t go well and the band disbanded. So their first album never got made.

After all these years, Mudcrutch has finally got the opportunity to get together to make an album (with old and new material) and tour to follow it. The debut Mudcrutch album will hit stores April 29th.

The band Mudcrutch will not do a world tour, they will only play a bunch of dates in California.

BREAKING NEWS: Dennis Quaid is considering suing Cedars-Sinai Medical Center…

Leave a comment

The reason actor Dennis Quaid has not yet filed a lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles is because he wants them to do the right thing. Quaid made the announcement at the Assn. of Health Care Journalists meeting. Quaid said he wants the hospital to improve patient safety, if they continue to fail, he will consider suing.

Quaid says he wants the hospital to get a bar code system where it scans medications before being administered to the patients.

More on it here:

http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-me-quaid28mar28,1,7175770.story

Quaid is keeping a good eye on the hospital. If they mess up again, he’ll sue, I guess that’s his plan.

I can’t blame him.

Celebrity/musician deaths

RIP: Herb Peterson 1918 – 2008

Leave a comment

The creater of the famous McDonald’s breakfast sandwich the Egg McMuffin’, Herb Peterson, has passed away at the age of 89. Peterson died peacefully at his Santa Barbara home. Before he died he was still the vice president of operations for McDonald’s restaurants. Peterson was famous for inventing a breakfast sandwich called the Egg McMuffin which is just an egg, a slice of Canadian bacon, topped with cheese and covered with two buttered english muffins. The sandwich has became a hit ever since. He was also the first to bring breakfast to McDonald’s food chain. Peterson loves McDonald’s so much that he would even talk with customers while they’re eating and make friends with the employees.

Peterson has worked with the McDonald’s food chain for more than 30 years. He is survived by his wife and three daughters.

Oh my, this makes me want to go to McDonald’s this weekend some morning to grab a couple of Egg McMuffins in honor of Peterson. Everyone else should do the same!

RIP Herb.

BREAKING NEWS: A few good Led Zeppelin news!!!

4 Comments

NME, a UK magazine for music news brought up a few good latest news about Led Zeppelin.

The first Robert Plant seems to be in a better mood about playing more shows with Led Zeppelin and seems more positive about it. He says Led Zeppelin will be all up to playing more shows only for the right reasons. Like the last time was a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, “special” reasons would be things like that. They may not go on a full fledge tour but they’ll probably play some more shows. Hopefully they play MSG in New York one more time to relive “The Song Remains the Same” concert in 1973.

http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/35481

John Paul Jones hinted that Led Zeppelin could go back into the studio again to record a new Led Zeppelin album. For many months now Jimmy Page has been hinting us that he’s working on new music that was meant to be for Led Zeppelin. Lets keep our fingers crossed that there could be a new Led Zep album in the future!

http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/35482

And the last, Jimmy Page hinted that last year’s December 10th O2 show could be getting released on DVD in the future. He confirmed the show was videotaped but he said creating the DVD of the show would be a lot of hard work. Lets keep our fingers crossed for a DVD release of this show as well.

http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/35484

This is pretty sweet news here.

If anything, I want a new Led Zeppelin studio album more. I would like to see what new changes and style of music Led Zeppelin would sound like today if they worked on new material. If they work on a studio album and release it, then they can do several more shows to support it.

Led Zeppelin, Guns N’ Roses, Ac/Dc….coming back to music again?

I said it before and will say it again, “We need our rock n’ roll back dammit”. If those three bands come back to the national music industry full time, people can start caring about mainstream music again.
