“Britney’s Law” (LAWL)

britneyhadtoomuchcokenowparalyzedAnti-stalkerazzi bill in Los Angeles of all places. or should I say, Whale’s Vagina. I am kinda fluent in German, so…::brush off my shoulders:: This bill is being debated because the police in a recent attempt to get Britney Spears in the a Psychiatric ward (finally) they had to enlist several vehicles, a helicopter and an ambulance. which cost about $25,000 – from taxpayers. Yes! lets use money to “save” Britney from paparazzi, but put a limit on property taxes. Property taxes fund the majority of schooling and California set a limit on collecting those taxes by referendum. Sometimes democracy sucks, you uninformed bastards.

2.  You too can be a Paparazzo P of S (peice of shit) or Pofs

3.  You can have your own Stalkerazzi, for a price (no witty sidenote found)

The Rise of the ‘Citizen Paparazzi’

Earlier I posted an article about paying for your own personal paparazzi. Now you, too, can ruin some rich celebrities caramel latte run.

Erin Horgan is more than a casual John Mayer fan. When she learned about a Caribbean cruise being offered earlier this month with the singer as the featured entertainment, the 22-year-old worker at a Hyannis, Mass., scrapbooking store didn’t hesitate to drop $1,000 for a ticket.
As it turned out, she got even more contact with her favorite singer than she expected: Mr. Mayer, hamming it up for fellow passengers, donned a neon green thong-style swimsuit as Ms. Horgan and others furiously snapped photographs. In a blog post after returning home, Ms. Horgan joked that she was going to send the pictures to celebrity magazine Us Weekly. She didn’t have to. Within days, Ms. Horgan heard not only from Us Weekly, but also from MTV, VH1, Rolling Stone, Blender and Newsweek. She ended up selling photos to Newsweek and VH1 – she says she was offered “a couple hundred” for each photo, but declines to be more specific. Erin Horgan, 22, snapped pictures of a scantily clad John Mayer while on a cruise. She sold photos of the singer to Newsweek and VH1.
“The thought of getting shots that anyone was interested in was never on my mind,” she said. Ms. Horgan is part of the changing face of the paparazzi trade, an Internet-fueled industry that feeds on the public’s seemingly insatiable interest in entertainment news. Photo agencies are increasingly relying on submissions from regular folk who either happen to bump into celebrities while carrying digital cameras, or who have injected themselves into the cat-and-mouse game of celebrity snapshots, despite any formal training…





The Onion on Obama

15 02 2008


Do We Really Want Another Black President After The Events Of Deep Impact?
The Onion:
LINK

Sponsored by I am not prejudiced. Far from it. What I am—or, I should say, who I am—is a man who loves his country so deeply that he is unwilling to stand idly by while our nation allows itself to be completely annihilated by another incoming comet.

Have we learned nothing from the tragic events of 1998, when, under the watch of President Morgan Freeman, this nation was plunged into chaos, and hundreds of millions of people died at the hands of the deadly Wolf-Beiderman space rock? The mere fact that this country is even considering putting another black man, Barack Obama, in the Oval Office proves that we have not.

We can’t deny the facts, people. All we will get by electing an African-American is Texas-size space particles crashing into the Earth’s surface, mega-tsunamis that barrel into the Appalachian Mountains, and 6.6 billion dead people.

I’m not suggesting that President Freeman was directly responsible for the creation of the Wolf-Beiderman comet or its Earth-bound path. That would be ridiculous. What I am saying is that under the watch of a black man that comet destroyed the entire Eastern seaboard. So, if history is any indicator, a vote for Barack Obama in 2008 is essentially a vote for the complete and total obliteration of the human race.

Don’t we owe it to our children, and our children’s children, to use this upcoming election to guarantee the Earth’s existence rather than dooming it for eternity?

To even risk putting Mr. Obama in a position where he would insist, as past black presidents have, that our nuclear arsenal is powerful enough to divert the incoming comet would be foolish, to say the least. Any decision like that would only break the fast-approaching space rock into two very powerful asteroids, both of which would end up heading straight for Earth, leaving all of us who aren’t on the small list of people picked to live in the government-sponsored protective caves to burn, drown, or die while in the arms of our estranged fathers. The only difference is, this time around, the late astronaut Robert Duvall will not be alive to save millions of lives by conducting a suicide space mission to destroy the larger of the two asteroids before it enters the Earth’s atmosphere.

In my book, any possible repeat of this extinction-level event is reason enough not to elect another African-American president. Consider that later that same summer, just two months after the first deep impact, this very country once again faced Armageddon in the form of another comet hurtling toward Earth. In this instance, under the watch of a white president who sort of looked like an older Dennis Quaid, that catastrophe was avoided entirely.

As if that is not enough, history shows us that, besides carrying the baggage of a guaranteed asteroid strike, black heads of state also give terrorists extra motivation to destroy the United States. During the presidency of 24’s David Palmer, there were no fewer than four nuclear bombs smuggled into this country. That’s four more than under any white president. Though we should have known better than to elect President Palmer in the first place (he was elected three years after President Freeman left office), the U.S. populace made him the commander in chief because it was swayed by then-Senator Palmer’s commitment to change, his no-nonsense approach, and his ability to inspire. Sound familiar?†

Asteroids and nuclear bombs—that’s what this nation can expect from an Obama White House.

Need I even mention that former President Chris Rock and his administration’s slogan was “The only thing white is the house”? Though this attitude broke down the stuffiness typically associated with proper White House decorum, President Rock’s laissez-faire approach not only made a mockery of the office at home, but made the United States look like a joke abroad.

I concede that the United States has had a competent African-American president in the huge black guy from the The Fifth Element, who did great things for this country by keeping the evil Mr. Zorg at bay. But that is years from now. There is no denying that by 2236, when we have flying taxicabs, this country will be ready for a black president. But until then, if we want life in this great land to continue as we know it, we owe it to ourselves to make the right choice and reelect Kevin Kline.





3 to replace Ledger

15 02 2008


The late Heath Ledger passed while filming Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Production halted a respectable amount of time, as per Hollywood standards, but of course…the show must go on. Check out the prospective replacements, after the jump!

Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell to all play Heath Ledger’s last character.

When I first read this story I thought it must have been something cooked up by a journalist with an overactive imagination, and it very well might be, but movie site Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that the director of the film Heath Ledger left unfinished when he died, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, has three big names in mind to take over for his character. Since the film is a fantasy in which Ledger’s character could easily change into someone else, all three replacement actors may pay tribute to Heath with performances:

Have I mentioned how much I love this idea? Because I do. I think it’s beautiful that the script loaned itself to this sort of idea, that we’re going to see Heath Ledger’s work in Terry Gilliam’s new film, and that we’re also going to see three very interesting actors step up to offer interpretations of him as a way of paying one final tribute to this actor whose career was cut so sadly short.

We’ve heard rumors about who might be stepping in, but now we’ve got the names verified. Count on it.

JOHNNY DEPP.

JUDE LAW.

COLIN FARRELL.

Nice choices, Gilliam. Can’t wait to see what happens inside the IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS, and I’d love to get a look at the script they’re going to use as they start this next stretch of shooting on the film.

[From Ain’t It Cool News]

Ain’t It Cool News has a good reputation for getting insider information on films and this could be true. About three weeks ago unreliable British source The Sun wrote that Imaginarium director Terry Gilliam wanted Johnny Depp to take over Heath’s part. There’s a scene in which Heath’s character falls through a magic mirror, and Cinematical quotes a studio source as saying “He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in.”

Back when that story came out, the movie was in shutdown mode following the death of Ledger, and workers on the film thought it wouldn’t come back. The star of the film, Christopher Plummer, has said that Heath’s final scenes would be created using CGI imagery, and he did suggest that other actors would be used. He is quoted as saying that “Because the film deals with magic, there is a way of turning Heath into other people, and then use stills and computer generated imagery.”

Maybe Heath’s character will get turned into three other top actors. It’s exciting to think that Depp, Law and Farrell might play in this film. I bet Daniel Day Lewis would be happy to be involved too, as he dedicated his SAG Award to Heath and seemed to be very affected by his death.

The Naked Gun Video Game

In Another Dimension, The Naked Gun Video Game Would Have Been The Best Game Of All Time
Bestweekever.tv: LINK

Naked Gun“The Naked Gun” is, depending on my mood, probably my favorite movie of all time. I’ve been able to quote every line since I was about ten, long before I understood the “pap smear” or “nice beaver!” jokes (I just thought it was funny she had a huge stuffed beaver). Imagine my surprise, then, when I learned that the most epic trilogy in cinematic history almost spawned its own slapstick-filled video game, featuring the unmistakable deadpan of Leslie Neilsen:

“We signed up Leslie Nielsen and even paid him. We managed to get the license for the game which was not an easy thing for a developer but the deal had a time limit: we had to sign up a Publisher to put the game out by a certain date or we had to hand back the license,..”

Leslie Nielsen, then, would do the voice-over of the main character, and, from what we’ve been told, it was to be filled with those slapstick and visual gags that made David Zucker’s films so unique.

Meanwhile, in a better dimension, drunk Dan is yelling at his friends for not realizing how brilliant the Naked Gun video game is:

All I’m saying is, it’sss just a really underappreciated video game. I juss feel like these games nowadaysre too afraid to just write actual enemies… what happened to that? It’s a losst art. And don’t get me wrong, I love theseee Adult Swim games, but sometimes you just want to play a game that’s got a buncha wacky, straightforward enemies and bosses n stuff, not a bunch a puzzles n save statez nnn…whasss so hard aboutt thatd??

Help Vulture Save ‘Cavemen’: Send Your Hair to ABC!
Vulture: LINK


I effin miss this show so much. it was so witty and wrong. and stoopid. love that shit

Vulture readers, please forgive us for bearing bad news; it is truly with a heavy heart that we type this post. Last night, ABC announced the renewals of nine shows for the 2008–09 TV season, and guess what? Cavemen wasn’t one of them. If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll probably understand just how much this pains us — for those two glorious months last year, when ABC was still airing it, Cavemen was the only TV series we could count on to fill our weekly quota of incisive Cro-Magnon humor, and, by the end of its short six-episode run, it had become, unequivocally, our favorite new show of the fall season. Sure, it had its critics and, yes, it may have stumbled in the ratings, but its potential cancellation is not something we’re equipped to deal with today. In fact, one of the primary reasons we were excited for the resolution of the writers’ strike was ABC’s inevitable promise of a completed first season, along with an order for at least another 50 episodes. Tragically, this has not yet materialized. Fortunately, however, we have a plan.

Inspired by our friends at Best Week Ever, who are mailing lightbulbs to Ben Silverman to save Friday Night Lights, and the fans who won Jericho a stay of execution by shipping peanuts to CBS, Vulture is hereby encouraging our loyal readers to send your hair to ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson, along with a note reading, “Cavemen: Hair Today, Hair Tomorrow!,” in the hopes that we, too, might rescue our favorite show.

What better way to pledge your support for TV’s finest sitcom about furry Neanderthals than to completely shave your head (or just get a trim — it doesn’t matter, just so long as you fill the box or envelope to the top) and mail the sweepings directly to the man in charge of ABC’s prime-time lineup? Just imagine the delighted look on his face as he tears opens his mail — with bits of hair probably flying up directly into his smiling mouth — and sees your unmitigated love for Cavemen, unquestionably one of the Greatest Television Shows of Our Time. He will have no choice but to DEMAND another season!

Here’s his address:

Stephen McPherson
ABC Studios
4151 Prospect Ave.
Hollywood, CA 90027

Come on, everybody — it’ll grow back! Save Cavemen!





Curling finally getting some Cred.

12 02 2008


Rock stars courted for curling reality show
The Star: LINK

Curling is so Boss. That’s my tagline. it’s copyrighted, actually, NBC so don’t steal it. or else!

Bon Jovi, Springsteen, said to be closet curlers, courted for NBC series that could lead to Olympics. Move over American Idol and make room for Rockstar Curling, a reality television show that may indeed have a rock-star connection.
NBC confirmed yesterday it has an exclusive option to air a 10-episode sports reality show that will give the winners a shot at competing in the U.S. championships and even going to the 2010 Olympics.
And one aspect that would make this a draw to the button for NBC is a plan to land closet curlers Bruce Springsteen or Jon Bon Jovi as part of the show, assuming the rockers aren’t worried what being connected to a sport with brooms might do to their images.
According to sources, the two rock stars are among a group of entertainment types who rent arena time on occasion to pick up brooms instead of guitars.
Organizers are trying to negotiate a deal to get one of them involved, possibly as a host.
The series is the brainchild of New York-based sports marketing agency mktpartners and Carr-Hughes Productions of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Mktgpartners has an office in Toronto and has an advertising commitment from the likes of Tourism Canada, sources say.
“This show is all about the opportunity to expose American viewers to curling,” said Colin Campbell, Canadian president of mktgpartners and one of the creators of the show. “We feel there might be some great athletes out there who might develop into good curlers given the chance.”
While a curling reality show wouldn’t be considered that unusual in Canada, where top events draw more than 1 million viewers, it’s hardly a mainstream sport south of the border.
Generally, the only time it gets mentioned on U.S. television is when comedians make fun of the sport.
The jokes usually revolve around the use of brooms and the belief curlers are the least athletic of all Olympians.
But curling was one of the surprise hits of the last two Olympics for NBC, enough so that NBC aired 24 matches live from Turin on one of its cable channels.
Although curling seldom gets more than 800,000 viewers on NBC, it once drew higher ratings than an NHL playoff game that aired at the same time the next day.
Needless to say, the U.S. Curling Association is thrilled with the prospect of 10 weeks of exposure on a national network.
“We feel that the Rockstar concept is innovative, creative and will help U.S. Curling develop new awareness, interest and participation in our sport across America,” said association chief operating office Rick Patzke.
The show would work a lot like the Idol series, though it would most likely air on weekend afternoons.
The show would involve U.S.-wide tryouts starting this year, open to anyone 18 or older. A panel of coaches will select two teams – five men and five women – to train for six months, all expenses paid, at Lake Placid, N.Y.
They would train eight hours a day under professional coaches before going to regional playdowns for the 2010 U.S. Olympic trials in February 2009.
If they win, they’re off to the Vancouver Olympics, unlikely as that may seem.
The tryouts, training and national competition will all be part of the series.
“If the winners get anywhere, it will be because they’ve earned it,” said Campbell.
Patzke said the television teams would be given no advantage.
“They would have to enter the U.S. Olympic team trials playdowns like any other U.S. Olympic-eligible team,” he said.
“There are no special concessions.”
Mktgpartners Canadian president Colin Campbell said in a statement that curling has a unique appeal to advertisers.
“The sport of curling is clutter-free compared to mainstream American sports sponsorship,” he said, “and Rockstar Curling is an excellent opportunity for brands to capture the attention of consumers, leading up to the Olympics.”
