Britney Spears gets birthing monument – The Superficial

I don’t if I should study it or f*ck it?

Yes….yes she is. Lovely photos.

{Defamer, the L.A. Gossip Rag: Report: Blame Cruise For Yanked ‘South Park’ Repeat} – “Fans of South Park were disappointed last night when a scheduled rerun of the show’s infamous, Scientology-mocking “Trapped in the Closet” episode, in which Tom Cruise locks himself in new Hubbardite savior Stan’s closet, was quietly yanked. The Hollywood Interrupted blog reports that a threat from Cruise himself may have been behind the episode’s sudden disappearance”

Fuck Tom Cruise. Fuck Scientology.

{‘V for Vendetta’ tries talkin’ about a revolution.} – “The film may spark interesting debates–about the nature of terrorism and governments, about the inalienable right of artists to shock and provoke–but what we’re dealing with is a lackluster comic-book movie that thinks terrorist is a synonym for revolutionary.”

But there is a (true) saying that, “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”. I’m looking at this movie, like I looked at another movie recently: It’s only a story. It’s not fact. It’s fiction. It’s entertainment, not a complete political statement.

Granted, lots of people will see this as a slander toward our current administration like they saw “Brokeback Mountain” as an endorsement of same-sex marriage or the “gay agenda”.

MTV: And you have an unusual love interest in your Comedy Central pilot …

Silverman: There is a love scene with God, and a very awkward morning after. And no, he doesn’t even use protection. He probably doesn’t even have sperm. But he appears, and he’s black, and I go, “Are you God’s black friend?” It doesn’t even occur to me that it could be God, but then I learn. It’s really absurd. It’s just ridiculous. I dare you not to pick it up, Comedy Central. And it’ll have a song in every episode. “

I’m a comic fan. Not of the books but of the people who tell countless jokes in front of a brick wall. I’ve been a fan of Sarah for years and one of her “bits” is one of my favorites….it’s on the middle of the page….

Ten years ago, when Silverman had recently moved to Los Angeles, she decided to try something conceptual in her standup routine. She took a pair of khaki pants, dabbed a tiny bit of red paint in the crotch, and wore them to a gig at a club called Largo. After telling jokes for five minutes, she started roaming around the stage, admonishing herself aloud for not using it to better advantage. She did a somersault, and heard a slight, mortified intake of breath. “I just thought it would be an experiment, interesting because the audience would think it was funny and also be dying for me,” Silverman says. “Then I went back and did five more minutes of jokes, to see how it changed the room, how it was this elephant in the room.” At the end of the set, she allowed herself to notice the stain, and said wincing, “Did you guys–you, you must think that I have my period and you’re probably dying for me. Of course you did. Why wouldn’t you? No.” She paused and said, as if to reassure, “I had anal sex for the first time tonight.”

Not only did she pass up a “taboo” topic she really chose a really taboo topic as her response. She’s a real sacred cow comedian.

I personally think it’s a travesty that Michelle Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t win Oscars for the categories they in which they were nominated. I’m only hoping Heath Ledger wins.

later, nope….at least Capote won.

Latest Movie News – Goodbye Don Knotts 1924 – 2006

{Elvis Drinkmo: Batman} – “Batman was and will always be my favorite comic book superhero; the rich and eccentric billionaire, Bruce Wayne, stalking the streets in search of criminals to exact revenge for the loss of his parents at the hands of a street thug. And one thing was always certain about Batman, you always knew by his actions that he was only a step or two away from actually being as warped and insane as those he pursued in the name of justice.”

I’m a Batman fan. I openly admit that. While I’m not really a comic book-reading person, I love the stories. The latest movie just re-ignited my Batman interest.

I always thought it was interesting that we consider Superman the superhero who best exemplifies America. When in reality, it’s Batman who’s more of the American hero. Then again, we outsource a lot of our dirty work to our immigrant population, why would that be different if you’re from Krypton or India or Guatemala?

SmugMug – Daniel Brown : Lego Brokeback Mountain

{Urban Legends Reference Pages: Travel (My Retirement Plan)} – “Bea Muller, an 86-year-old retiree, has been a permanent resident on Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 since 5 January 2000. Her husband had passed away while the couple was on a world cruise eleven months earlier, and rather than opt for a retirement home, Mrs. Muller sold her house and possessions and booked herself onto the ship. “

Why does this smell like a soon-to-be screenplay with Tom Hanks in the lead, as the loveable old man, looking to find love on a cruise ship?
