Eminem is reportedly going to do another movie. A horror movie. A horror movie in 3D!!!
It doesn't get any lamer than that!
Oh wait, yes it does - the movie is being called Shady Talez!
Ha!
Will you be dressing up as the crypt keeper, Fem?! It would be a much needed improvement to her your current state of dress.
Oh, and as if this sure-fire failure project wasn't enough, Slim Shady is going to release a collection of comic books. Look for those in the book store recycling bins soon.

| NBA Great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Diagnosed With Cancer |

One of the world's all-time best basketball players, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar announced that he has been battling cancer for nearly a year.
The current Lakers coach was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in December 2008 and is currently undergoing treatment.
"Having lost one of my closest friends to a different, highly aggressive form of leukemia, I knew how serious my diagnosis was," said Abdul-Jabbar. "My own life expectancy became a question mark."
Kareem is taking medication that targets the abnormal protein which causes the disease. And if all goes according to plan, he is expected to lead a full, active life.
The sports legend and father of five came forward with his diagnosis after learning that many patients do not regularly take their medication and tend to skip out on doctor's appointments.
"I'm telling my story to encourage fellow patients to take charge of their health," said Kareem. "Work closely with your doctor, monitor your disease and, above all, take your medicine."
Amen.

| Tarnished Carrie Prejean Confirms Solo Sex Tape! |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-11-10-carrie-prejean-confirms-solo-sex-tape
Oh, how the mighty flighty have fallen!
As we've always said, if you make a sex tape, it will always find a way out! A hard lesson that now former beauty queen Carrie Prejean had to learn this past week, and last night, she sat down with Fox News (of course) to discuss the embarrassing ordeal.
Carrie admits that it was the "worst mistake of her life" as it cost her collecting a quick million from the Miss California Organization, but she chalks it up to the misguided attempts of a love sick teenager:
"I was all by myself. I was sending my boyfriend at the time, who I loved and cared about, a video of me. I was a teenager at the time and never did I ever think it would come out…When you're young, you think, This is the one. Never did I think it would come and just slap me right in the face."
Um, DOUBTFUL! You've used this "teenage naivety" excuse before and we're just not buying it! And when the tape does finally leak (and it will, trust us), then you'll have even more egg on your face!
Oh, how we love it!
See her full interview with Sean Hannity from Fox News (above)!

| Russell Won't Keep Quiet About Katy! He's Soooo In Lurve |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-11-10-russell-wont-keep-quiet-about-katy-hes-soooo-in-lurve 
Katy Perry took a big step with her BF Russell Brand recently: she brought him home to meet her folks!
There was some concern that her rents wouldn't approve of the relationship due to their strict Christian morals and Russell's history with philandering, but according to Russell, the introductions went smoothly.
He explained:
“I’ve had the privilege of meeting Katy’s family. I always get along with spiritual people. For me the things that happen on a higher level are more important than transient things.”
Maybe they haven't picked up a tabloid in the last few years. That surely worked in your favor, considering the endless list of sexcapades on your resume. But according to Russell, the playboy life is behind him now and he is ready to be quite serious with Miz Katy:
"When one is in a relationship one respects the restrictions that imposes. That’s the point of being in a relationship… I’ve been really happy in the last couple of months. All I know is that I have met someone who I like and makes me happy. I am very much fulfilled. Having met Katy she has certainly been a catalyst in changing my life but I have been changing my life for myself first and foremost, because it’s a better way for me to be living at this time.”
Let's keep it that way!

| 2PM 'Heartbeat' Song-Marketing-Jaebum 'Dae Bak formula' |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|11:01 pm] |
The title song 'Heartbeat' in 2PM's first official album '01:59PM', is garnering immense popularity as soon as it was released on the 10th. It had placed 1st in various music charts and is staying on as one of the top searched terms in various portal sites.
2PM's new song, 'Heartbeat' comes after their debut song '10 out of 10', 'Again and Again' and 'I hate you'. The song embodies a powerful yet dark and wistful sentiment -- the color of 2PM is well captured. 'Heartbeat' is written and composed by Park Jin Young. It uses the actual heart beat sounds of the 6 members as the base and an orchestra is arranged over the sound creating a sad, doleful melody that captures the melancholy sentiment.
As much work has been put into the song, they have put in a lot of effort into the marketing as well. As they have gained a lot of attention through the '01:59PM' 'Tired of waiting' 'I was crazy for you' as well as the teaser marketing, they have completed the image marketing with the connection between 'Heartbeat', the idea of 'waiting' and the actual pulse of the heart. Anxiety, fear, yearning and various other meanings have been attached to the song 'Heartbeat' and has been coupled with the sound of the actual pulse creating an image sound for this whole album's concept.
The peak of 2PM's marketing is 'Jaebum' who had left the team in September after the anti-Korea controversy. The song, which is more sorrowful than before, is used along with the idea of fear and anxiety as a theme. This marketing point is combined into one with 'Leader Jaebum's absence' and the fans' desire for his return.
The result of many fans discussing how the album's title, '01:59PM' has been used to call 2PM without Jaebum, along with how the songs, 'Tired of Waiting' and 'I was crazy for you' seems to reflect the 6 members' and Jaebum's thoughts are all a result of how the marketing point has hit its mark.
Although fans are worried that they are using Jaebum too much for just marketing, many in the music industry see it as a way of telling the story of the whole album, especially after the talk of Jaebum's return possibly becoming a reality.

| North and South Korea Skirmish |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|10:07 am] |
A badly damaged North Korean patrol ship retreated in flames Tuesday after a skirmish with a South Korean naval vessel along their disputed western coast, the first such clash in seven years, South Korean officials said.
There were no South Korean casualties, the country's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, and it was not immediately clear if there were any casualties on the North Korean side. Each side blamed the other for violating the sea border.
The exchange of fire occurred as U.S. officials said President Barack Obama has decided to send a special envoy to Pyongyang for rare direct talks on the communist country's nuclear weapons program. No date has been set but it would be the first one-on-one talks since Obama took office in January. Obama is due in Seoul next week.

Brazilian University Backs Down Over Mini-Dress Expulsion
SAO PAULO — A Brazilian woman whose short, pink dress caused a near riot at a private college led to her expulsion and transformed her into an Internet sensation now has permission to return to class.
Bandeirante University backed down Monday on its decision to expel 20-year-old Geisy Arruda following a flood of negative reaction in a nation where skimpy attire is common. Videos of students ridiculing her and making catcalls Oct. 22 turned up on the Web and drew attention to the event around the world.
Just hours after the Brazilian government demanded an explanation from the university, its dean released a statement saying he was reversing the school's decision to expel Arruda.

It's been fun having those bullies mocked all across the nation and debating tolerance and sexism at universities, but having your uni famous for that has gotta suck (then again, if that was even possible this university is probably lame anyway). Also, lmao at articles having to make a point to tell readers that students don't wear revealing clothes for class in Brazil.

| Valentine to Return in Resident Evil: Afterlife? |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|10:48 pm] |
Paul W.S. Anderson promised fans a few familiar faces would definitely be returning for Resident Evil: Afterlife. Ali Larter has returned as Claire Redfield, then there is Spencer Locke's K-Mart. From the video game series? Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller) and Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts).
Well, how about Jill Valentine? That's right. Star Milla Jovovich dropped a Tweeter via her Twitter account earlier today that said: "Valentine MAY be back."
We haven't seen that character on the screen since Sienna Guillory played her in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Insiders told me during Resident Evil: Extinction's production that Guillory didn't return over contract disputes. Is the actress back or have they re-cast Valentine? We'll see.
Jovovich also had something to say about Afterlife's undead today. "The zombie makeup is exceptionally good now, they're rocking it over at prosthetics. But depending on the zombie and what happens to them, sometimes they add stuff to them in post."

[Nov. 10th, 2009|07:52 am] |
Making the long trip overseas, the stars of “New Moon” turned up at the Crillon Hotel in Paris, France on Monday night (November 9).
Having flown in from Los Angeles, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner greeted a pack of awaiting fans as they posed for a few pictures and signed autographs before checking into their rooms.
As for “New Moon,” which hits theaters on November 20th, Miss Stewart recently spoke about her Bella Swan character’s interactions with Robert’s Edward Cullen role.
“For Bella in this film, Edward leaving her is like physical withdrawal. She is an addict when it comes to this boy. I have a breakup scene with Rob in the movie, but that’s not what intimidated me. It was the absence of him that was scary.”

| A Tale of Two Trailers: The De-Gaying of “A Single Man” |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|02:18 am] |
While the heterosexualized poster for Tom Ford’s not-so-heterosexual “A Single Man” caused a wee stir last week, it seems the recently released trailer has just re-enforced those complaints.
A comparative study of the trailer that Tom Ford’s production company released as the film premiered in Venice and Toronto and the trailer The Weinstein Company just put out tells quite the tale. The new trailer uses the same music and mostly the same shots, except it adds in a bunch of quotes that not-so-subtly emphasize the film’s Oscar buzz, leaving out a few choice shots - pretty much all of which are suggestive of the film’s gay content.
The new trailer essentially is altered to suggest the core of the film is the relationship between Colin Firth and Julianne Moore’s characters, even removing from the end of the trailer the names of both Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult (who play Firth’s love interests). Moreover, in the first trailer, we see Firth’s character kiss both Goode and Moore, in the second we just get Moore. There’s also a sequence of shots in the first trailer which crosscuts Firth, who plays a professor in the film, staring into the eyes of both a female student and a male student. In the second, as you might guess, we only get the female (in a telling twist, instead of cutting to the male eyes, the trailer cuts to a quote from Entertainment Weekly saying “[Firth’s] performance is bound to win attention in this year’s Oscar race”).
Gone completely in the new trailer are a few shots of Firth running into the smoking (literally and figuratively) male prostitute outside a liquor store (one of the film’s more homoerotic sequences), as well as a few shots of him and Hoult running romantically and shirtlessly into the ocean together.
Take a look for yourself:
( Trailers behind the cut. )
In with the Oscar buzz, out with the gayness. It seems The Weinstein Company doesn’t want to take any chances with all those homophobic Academy members. Call it the “Brokeback Mountain” approach (and remember how well that worked out).

| The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|09:48 am] |
| [ | mood |
| |  cheerful | ] |
Anyone else here read this? I'm halfway through and it's a delightful read! To me, it seems like a strange cross between young adult fiction and regular grown-up fiction, as in either of those age groups could probably enjoy it. It's been a while since I've read anything like that, so I did some research on the author too. It was interesting to find that he used to be a film screenwriter before, and derives a lot of inspiration from cinematic as well as literary works for his writing. I'm curious to read more by him now. Can you guys tell me about any of his other books?? |
