Ladies and Gentleman. For the thousands in attendance and the millions reading at home…welcome to the main event. Let's get ready to rumbbbbbblllllllllleeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's dish shall we?
Where do we start? Hmmm….uh oh, Michael Jackson is at it again.
Michael Jackson puts voodoo curse on Speilberg and Geffen
The so called king of pop at one time reportedly paid an African witch doctor to conduct a blood ritual that would leave 25 of his enemies dead including film director Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks alum David Geffen. Alright…for any of you who reconsidered their opinion about Jacko after the Martin Bashir interview debacle, this story will firmly reawaken you to the fact that Mr. Thriller is a freak. Michael, Michael, Michael…hanging a baby off a roof is one thing, but witch doctors and blood rituals? This may be too far for even you? Y'know I'm bad…I'm bad…y'know it. Yup, starting to understand that now.
Madonna signs deal to write five children books
It has been confirmed that only three of the books will include S&M and nude pictures of Dennis Rodman.
My Big Fat Greek Life debuts on the small screen
The sitcom version of
the blockbuster film My Big Fat Greek Wedding (now dubbed My Big Fat Greek
Life) debuted on television to initial strong ratings but the outlook
appears bleak for the Nia Vardalos vehicle. Gee really? Dare I be one
that spews hackneyed observations…but the honeymoon is over. Man
oh man did they rush this sucker out quick to capitalize on the films
success. Did anyone watch the pilot? No, they didn't because producers
didn't preview it before its premiere. Wonder why? Where the film was
a nice little slice of life that dealt with traditions, family, culture
clashes and love the sitcom is nothing more then a generic, paint by numbers
family situation comedy with a one joke premise: Greek people sure are
silly. On this weeks episode Nia tries to help her parents invest for
their retirement…did I mention her parents are Greek? How they got
practically the entire film cast to be involved (so John Corbett is smarter
then he looks) in this mess is beyond me. But the most shocking is Nia
Vardalos herself. Your first movie becomes one of the highest grossing
romantic comedies of all time and you decide to follow this up with a
sitcom? Isn't it safe to assume based off the success of Greek Wedding
she would have gotten a three picture deal minimum? Couldn't she have
just made a sequel to the movie? Who is her agent exactly? Going from
a blockbuster feature film directly to a sitcom? This is REALLY a backwards
way of thinking Nia…did I mention she is Greek?
"Bringing Down The House" opens big
The new Steve Martin/Queen Latifah comedy Bringing Down The House opened at the top of the box office. How many more times can seeing white people try to act like black people (or vice versa for that matter) be funny? Seriously, isn't it 2003…? See Steve Martin wear a Raiders jacket and say "homie". Aren't we beyond this?
TV's Mister Rogers dead of cancer at age 74
Somewhere in heaven God has himself one hell of a new neighbour.
Zing! Take that Hollywood!
…but
that's just my opinion.
