Lindsay Lohan's Maserati: The Mystery Solved!

Just when you think she's hit rock-bottom, she finds some fresh dirt and keeps on shoveling down...

When Lindsay Lohan was first seen driving around in a $100,000 Maserati, I immediately figured Samantha Ronson was leasing it for her, considering that Ronson is the only one of the two currently making any sort of money (for plugging in her iPod and looking bored. Yeah, must be nice...).

Well, I was wrong.

TMZ says that the car is owned by porn producer Dennis DeSantis. Some of DeSantis' classy works include Origami So Horny. Destined to be a classic!

After Lohan's assistant busted the car by driving into a Subaru, DeSantis just shrugged it off, paid the $10,000 for it to get repaired and allowed our little train wreck to keep driving it.

DeSantis also claims he lent her the car "just because."
There's no strings attached.

PFFFFFFFFTTT! PLEASE! Even in L.A., porn producers are given the side-eye!

I wouldn't be shocked if when I was trolling the adult section of my video store, I saw Lohan's face on the cover of titles like A Prairie Whore Companion and Freaky Friday.

Dina Lohan will be so proud. No, she really will be. I wasn't being sarcastic.

I guess we all find our place in this world, eventually...

Candy Spelling Still Won't Speak to Her Daughter

Those Spelling women sure are prolific wordsmiths. Just a year after Tori Spelling's book telling her side of her feud with mother Candy Spelling entitled sTori Telling, her mother's now come out with a tome of her own. Candy's memoir, Stories From Candyland, has been published and she's hard at work promoting it (well, since she's never had to work a day in her life, and lives in a $150 million mansion with more bathrooms "than I can count" (as she told CBS2 News in NYC), she may as well do SOMETHING productive with her life).

The 63-year-old grandmother confessed to People the full extent of her estrangement from her daughter and grandchildren, "I don't see Tori and Dean anymore. I used to see Liam, but no longer. And I've never met Stella."

These people need to stop wasting their time coming up with punny titles for tell-all books and sit down and hash out their issues. Or at least have the decency to just do reality shows. I don't have time to read all this crap.

Lady Gaga Speaks!

Well, whispers, actually.

What's she whispering about? Will she be relevant in five years?

Why Nicolas Cage Should Not Be In Batman 3 or any Super Hero Movie

In a recent interview with MTV Nicolas Cage volunteered his acting skills as 'any' super villain in the next Batman 3 movie. He didn't know which one he wanted to portray, he just knew he wanted to be in it. This is exactly why he should not be in it.

Why should any storyteller hire an actor that doesn't understand the material or appreciate a character. Remember when he was almost cast as Superman? Look at how hallow he was in GhostRider! Sure the movie was poorly constructed but Nicolas Cage hasn't been great in a movie since Raising Arizona. Meanwhile the importance of picking a performer for a role is what is paramount in super hero movies. Why? Because in super hero movies you as an audience member are asked (not expected) to suspend disbelief. The believability of the characters especially the antagonist and protagonist are perhaps more important than everything else including special effects and set design.

When an actor asks to be in a super hero movie for the sake of being in it you give up respect for the story. You didn't see people discussing who should play Tyler Durden on web sites prior the filming of Fight Club because traditional books are not scrutinized by the public for who is acceptable or even expected in an a role. Why? Because you can't compare comic book stories transitioning into film the same way as traditional books are.

When any comic book becomes a movie, the run up includes fan boys posting and cross posting wide and detailed discussions on who should play who in the subsequent story. X-men demanded that Patrick Stewart play Xavier. When the film brought him to the role, there was a wave of relief among every potential X-Men viewer that would come to see the film. This goes on for many characters that ended up on the big screen.

Sure it's a little bit silly to think that comic books and super hero stories are so highly scrutinized by their fan base, but it is what it is. Hollywood has done well in the past to realize this reality exists. When it fails to accept this premise, you can almost define the box office sales by the pre-Internet discussions going on before the films are released. As an aside, comic book readers don't like to see big name Hollywood stars in MOST super hero movies. They want to see the actor that most looks like their character in the story. They want to see an actor that has the mannerisms and feel for the character in the story. They want to see an actor that is most like the character, they never want to see an actor playing the character. This is why it is so hard for Hollywood to make a good super hero movie. A rare exception is Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and even he had to not be more like Robert Downey Jr. and more like Tony Stark.

In the case of Nicolas Cage, when an actor doesn't step up and ask for a specif role because they identify or appreciate a character, they really have no business asking in the first place. Nicolas Cage doesn't belong in Batman 3 or an any super hero movie as long as he doesn't have a n appreciate for a character in it. If Nicolas Cage said to MTV, "I would like to play a villain in a super hero movie some time" this would not have been offensive. But to people that read comics this is an insult. Comic book readers watch characters they know and appreciate come to life on the big screen without much respect for those characters often enough that I felt it best I defend them today. After all, I am one of those readers.

What Were You Thinking! - Rihanna Tattoos Gun

At last count Rihanna has riddled her body with over ten tattoos, eleven is one estimate. Make that twelve.

Now there is one more. It's a gun on her ribs by tattoo artist, BangBang, whom she flew in from NY to L.A. to print her. Is it a response to being brutally smacked around by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown? If you ask Rihanna it appears not."We've been talking about the idea for a year," referring to BangBang which he gave her last Thursday at her Hollywood mansion. "She had a necklace with a gun, and I love it. I was like, 'How about the gun?'" In fact she was set to have two guns. But in interviews and blog postings by Bang Bang, he paints (or inks) different picture.

"I printed it out, put it on her shoulders," BangBang explains he originally designed his art for both shoulders, "it took a little bit away from her face. She's so beautiful. That's not what we're going for!"

This is terrible timing in terms of her decision making, but then again, look who she dated in the first place, and is it really over or will she protect him as many abused women often do? Let's hope not.

Rihanna shows some signs of intelligence in the matter though, in BangBang's Myspace page he tells fans, "I really wanted to put it here (on her arms)? She loved 'em. But, Cover Girl wouldn't have liked it much? and they pay the bills! Ended up doing it on her ribs."

Originally Rihanna wanted to put two guns on herself, one on each arm but stopped short due to her contract with Cover Girl Cosmetics. Still there was no stopping Rihanna from having her way on the matter. In the end it appears despite what she may say, BangBang spills the truth on why she had the gun tattoo'd on her body, "It's powerful. It's protection. At least that's my interpretation of it." Seems to me, the woman hasn't a clue.

No. Really?

In other Lindsay Lohan news, she seems to have made yet another enemy in Hollywood. I know, shocking, right?

See, earlier this week, Long Island's favorite trainwreck told Nylon Magazine that she is thinking about giving up acting in order to do more modeling, claiming that it’s really “fun” for her, and “doesn’t feel like work” at all.

Well, model Tyson Beckford had a few words on that topic. He thinks that the only thing Lindsay knows how to do like a model is party.

Beckford, who attended a Make Me A Supermodel bash Tuesday in NYC, told Usmagazine.com, “She has the partying part down right. But I don’t think she’s got the focus. I mean, it requires a lot of focus and a lot of people think they can do it, but they really find that it’s a lot harder.”

Added the model, “Ask anyone - it’s a lot harder than it looks. I guess that’s why they call us supermodels - we make it look easy. But it’s not as easy as it looks, so I wish her all the best.”

Well, he’s got a point about Lohan’s lack of focus, and let's not even get started about her lack of looks. Once upon a time, Lohan was a VERY pretty girl, but drugs and hard partying pretty much flushed those down the toilet.

Still, being a model -- while certainly entailing much more than sitting in front of a photographer's lens -- is NOT that difficult. What's difficult about it? You wake up, get pampered, complain about your oh-so-tough life, obtain an entitlement complex, "date" a musician or two, party like the world's going to end, then marry yourself off to a rich sugar daddy when you turn 30, only to cheat on him with Mustafa the 18-year-old buff French poolboy because J. Howard Marshall doesn't lay the pipe properly (and who does, really, at 60-something years old).

You want a truly hard job?
Try being a fireman.
Or a police officer, or being in the military.
Better yet: How about you try obtaining a PhD -- y'know, READING A BOOK with words that are a little bit more profound than "Pat the Bunny," or a BOOK that doesn't have pictures of rail-thin carcasses wearing ridiculous clothing that cost as much as a monthly mortgage payment?

Somehow, strutting down the cat walk in beautiful clothes doesn’t strike me as all that difficult when compared to, say, running into a burning building, or stem cell research for Alzheimer's Disease, or risking your life on a battlefield.

Sorry, Tyson. Nice try, though.

Lindsay Lohan's Major Comeback

If you're one of Lindsay Lohan's "sicko fans" (as she referred to all three of them in a recent E! Online interview), then you will pleased to know that you don't have to go far to see her next masterpiece. You don't even have to get off the sofa, because it will be beamed directly to your TV. This generation's Gone With The Wind, Labor Pains, will make its debut on basic cable! Academy Awards, here she comes!

The movie's production company told UsWeekly that it will show on ABC Family in July (there is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to begin).

A month later, it will be thrown into a 50% off discount bin at the 99 Cent Store.

Padma Lakshmi for Hardee's

Now, I'm vegan, so y'all have to help me out: Isn't this how you're supposed to eat a cheeseburger? You sit on a stoop, hike up your dress, spread your legs and devour that thing like you haven't seen food since Clinton was President. Just like Clinton, that cheeseburger won't tell you it loves you, and won't even think of calling you the next day. And, just like Clinton, the cheeseburger left behind a little memento on her dress.

(And you all think I can't make fun of liberals! Personally, I think Clinton was the best President of the modern era, but a spade's a spade: he was far from a faithful husband...)

But on a serious note, women like Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi OBVIOUSLY don't eat things like cheeseburgers. (Those things add up...in the wallet, the waistline, AND the major arteries...) Hardee's is not catering to their demographic. This should be an obese construction worker sitting on the sidewalk with sauce dripping all over his left moob which is poking out of his overalls. Way sexier.

P.O.S. Covers Pearl Jam's classic "Why Go"

P.O.S was one of the breakthrough artists at SXSW 2009! Praised by the New York Times, Spin, MySpace, Boston Globe, Metromix and many more for his powerful live show and genre-defying new album, NEVER BETTER.

P.O.S was among a select number of artists picked to cover Pearl Jam classics for MTV, in celebration of the re-release of their debut album Ten. P.O.S's version of "Why Go" is below. The video has started spreading virally, it's currently featured on Digg.com's homepage in the "Top In All Topics" section.

Said P.O.S., "I was asked if I was interested in covering a Pearl Jam song by MTV2. I thought it was funny that they wanted to include me, being a rapper and all, but I wanted to take a shot at it. I loved Ten when it came out, rocked the tape till it popped. One of my favorites on it was Why Go, none of the bands they asked had picked it yet so I did. I though about reworking the original lyrics into a rap kind of situation, but then I was playing the melody on one of my keyboards and thought it might be more fun to just straight cover it. So I did. It was fun. I hope you likes it."

pcm's 'POP-IN' With: Jerad Finck

Independent Washington-based pop-rocker Jerad Finck recently chatted with our writer Kristyn Clarke about his music career, a new album and much more! Check out his music at his MySpace page to learn more about this new artist we're promoting!

Now, read on and get a feel for what Jerad Finck is all about:

Q: We see that you're ready to head back into the studio and start recording a follow-up to your debut album, what should fans be expecting this time around?

A: "I've done a lot more writing. I'm trying to get better as an artist."

Q: You just finished up a 40 city tour, what was that experience like?

A: "The most grueling experience of my life. A lot of fun! I saw about 38-39 states, saw a lot of the country. It was crazy and a great time. We'd play a show then drive 7 or 8 hours and do it all again. We broke down at the Hoover Dam one night and was stuck there for hours one night! We'll do the next tour in late spring/early summer."

Q: What is the writing process like for you? What inspires you?


A: "It can be any kind of moment. I try to capture just little snapshots of life. Reading a book, watch someone kissing their girlfriend, you know?"

Q: Where do you see the future of music heading and where do you see yourself in that picture?

A: "The pool of musicians has gotten so huge with things like MySpace, anyone can be a musician. People just aren't really buying CD's anymore either, it seems like the death of the album. I hope not. I hope that people keep writing great records. I just try to create something that will be around for a long time. "

Q: How would you describe your music to a first-time listenener?

A: "I definitely am more pop-rock, I think. I like energy in my music. I like bands like The Beatles, Sister Hazel and Green Day that are more upbeat."

Dog Saves Little Person

Okay, Hollywood can now stop remaking every classic known to man, because here's an epic original story that's begging to be turned into a silver-screen trilogy. It has everything you need: a lost midget, a chihuahua, a forest, helicopters, friendship and true love! And it happened in real life! Mary-Kate Olsen, call your agent!

It all started when the 45-year-old tiny lady who goes by the name of Beverley Burkitt decided to go for a morning walk with her chihuahua, Pebbles, near the camp site they were staying at in North Wales. Beverley went deep into the forest before realizing she dropped her cell phone somewhere. She also realized she was lost! Instead of getting lost even more, Beverley sat down with Pebbles and waited for help to come. They weren't found until the next morning after a ground team and helicopters were sent out.

3'8" Beverley thanks 7" Pebbles for keeping her safe and warm through the night. She told The Sun, “Pebbles lay across my legs overnight and kept me warm. I was wearing a coat but it wasn’t as warm as Pebbles. I wasn’t too worried as I knew I’d be found sooner or later."

Don't ask me how Beverley got lost in a forest. I was under the impression that little people knew their way around every forest. Like it was a gene they were born with. But thankfully, Pebbles was there. This is why you should bring a chihuahua with you wherever you go. They SAVE lives! Although, something tells me after a few hours Pebbles was starting to look at Beverley like she was a delicious chicken wing.

Ryan Reynolds is Dead on as DeadPool in New Wolverine Movie

He's wanted the role for what seems over 10 years.... Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And the comic book character Deadpool has wanted to be Ryan Reynolds.



Sometimes the big news in movies like this isn't that Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine again. Instead it's the introduction of other X-Men characters we all have been waiting to see.

Unlike the small cameo appearances of ultra cool characters like Colossus in the last two X-Men movies, these new characters are showcased. Characters such as Gambit and Deadpool will be pivotal character in Wolverine. In fact reshoots took place as the Deadpool character became more important to the studio execs. As he should be. Any graphic novel enthusiast worth his/her salt knows that Deadpool was part of the Weapon X program along with Wolverine.

What is great is that Ryan Reynolds is taking this graphic novel character just as serious as Robert Downey Jr. has taken Tony Stark in Ironman. Ryan sees Deadpool for what he is underneath the mask; Wade Wilson. “ I don’t even look at it like I play Deadpool in this movie. I really think I more or less play Wade Wilson, and I’m playing the creature that will eventually become Deadpool but in this movie it’s his newly formed version….so to speak.”

You want to believe that the studio recognizes that while this is Wolverine's origin, that you can't make a character like Deadpool an aside in the same way they did with Venom in Spider-Man. Deadpool is a complex character. He is the only character in all of comics that knows he is a comic book character and even Ryan Reynolds has discussed this aspect of his character in interviews. Deadpool at this point in the story is not disfigured, his character as many know his is not the same as what most readers know him as. Wade Wilson before his disfigurement won't wear the mask. Will this be the Deadpool origin as well? We will see.

Anne Hathaway Is Judy Garland

Young actress Anne Hathaway wowed the Academy Awards crowd when she showed off her song-and-dance talent alongside host Hugh Jackman. Someone was obviously paying attention to her skills and a lightbulb went off. Smart man/woman!

Movie news! Anne Hathaway has signed on to play 'The Wizard of Oz' starlet Judy Garland in both screen and stage adaptations of the biography 'Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.' Seems pretty accurate to us. Anyone disagree?

Zac 'I Don't Sing & Dance Anymore' Efron

Looks like Zac Efron doesn't want to just be known as a song and dance man anymore. We think it's a little too late for that. The 21-year-old actor recently dropped out of Footloose, the upcoming remake of the 1984 musical.

“Footloose is a project we’ve longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [director] Kenny Ortega, [producers] Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise,” a Paramount Pictures rep told Us Weekly Monday. “Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that we’ve come to expect from them.”

We're sure the movie may still be successful - everyone loves a good musical. But we don't know what to think about Zac sudden change of heart. He better not pull a 'Bachelor' on us and decide he wants back in again!

Look Out For That Deer, Matt Lauer

Today Show host Matt Lauer suffered a separated shoulder over the weekend in Long Island when the anchor went flying off his bike in an effort to avoid a deer. Talk about a crazy story to tell your grandkids!

The 51-year-old "Today" show host flew over the handlebars. NBC says Lauer was wearing a helmet. He expects to return to work later this week. We think that's the best excuse we've ever heard to skip a day of work!

Punked By One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray?

Hmm, we're sure we'll get to the bottom of this one soon! What's the deal? Thank gosh for YouTube! Carolina fans caught One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray telling then some shocking tidbits about his future on the CW's hit drama. It is set to come back for a new season however, CMM says they don't want him back on the show!



Check out the footage. Does it look like he's joking or serious? The CW show centers about Murray so we're thinking it may be a prank. Here's some excerpts from what he says in the video, "They don't want me...I'm not joking." "See, this is what all the fans should do online, is start blogging and being pissed off that they don't want that. That's what they should do." "They're not bringing me back next year...because they want to save money." Tell us your thoughts, would you continue watching the show is CMM leaves? Does anyone still watch the show religiously?

What Men Really Think: Spanish Man Pregnant!

It's a great headline, Spanish 'man' Pregnant. Give me a break. Men cannot bear a child. A woman can bear a child. But a woman that changes her anatomy and had hormone injects can legally call herself a man is still a woman. Now don't think I hate transsexuals. This is not about hate, it's about being honest.

In the news this week a 25 year old Spanish woman ...I mean 'man' claims to be pregnant with twins. Shouldn't the headlines read a man whom claims to be woman is with twins? Ruben Noe Coronado Jimenez (Estefania) is now going back to treatments to restart his ...er her ... er.. his? menstrual cycle. But to impress us all, he/she he has grown a beard. It's all in the marketing folks. Looks like duck, quacks like a duck, must be a duck?

Coronado retained female status to undergo fertility treatments. Oh ... so he is a she? So why not stay a she? Nah... she wants to carry the baby as a man. And why? What will that prove? One word folks... narcissist. How can I say that? Well, consider this quote from Jimenez, "It's like being born with three hands. You take advantage of them while you have them and you get rid of one of them when they get in the way."

Where is the sanity in the media these days? Am I the only person willing to report the truth? This is NOT a pregnant man. The last Asian woman that had a sex change (in part) operation is still not a man. Women are women and men are men.

What would constitute a real sex change? You know... when they can get the uterus, and everything reconstructed.... When a man can generate his own egg... When a couple can copulate and and the woman that is now a man can do the entire thing naturally ...come talk to me about a man being pregnant. This woman calling herself a man is a just another transsexual that started as a woman carrying a baby.

Want a guy to really be impressed? Have a man born a man carry a baby in his abdomen for the nine months necessary, cut him open and produce a baby... That's news. That's a pregnant man.

These ridiculous trans gender stories of pregnancy belong in the supermarket counter trash news. Hey live and let live, have the baby but don't call yourself a man when you are a woman. It can't be any more simple.

So which one of these lovely people in the photo above is Ruben Jimenez? The one on the left. Transsexuals can go bald? Maybe he really is a man.

Try To Look Surprised...

Is Linsday Lohan following in Britney Spears' footsteps?

No, not as an actress-turned-Paparazzi-magnet, but as a cash-strapped spendthrift. The New York Daily News reports that Lohan has been over-spending and now relies mostly on credit cards and girlfriend Samantha Ronson's funds. A "friend" says, "Sam really thinks Lindsay needs to learn how to become a recessionista and manage her money better.”

Evidence that Lohan has been spending above her means includes a new Rolex watch ($30,000) and Maserati (over $100,000). Plus, Lohan hasn't been in a film for the past two years, which has limited her income. She is reportedly looking for work now.

Perhaps she can follow in Spears' example and regain control of her finances. After divorce papers filed in late 2007 revealed that Spears saved none of her $737,000 monthly income, her father helped her reign in her spending and boost her income through a new album and much-marketed comeback.

Lohan's troubles underscore just how hard it can be for celebrities to live up to the luxe life they come to expect. According to financial planners, the rich and famous often fail to plan for the fact that their income is unstable, often peaking early in life, as well as stand up to the many hangers-on that ask for support.

My Little Nightmare

No, this isn't Sarah Jessica Parker as The Joker in the next Batman movie, it's the mini creature that will crash my dreams tonight and turn them into a nightmare.

Artist Mari Kasurinen took My Little Pony and transformed it into classic movie characters. Aside from The Joker, Mari took characters from Kill Bill, Edward Scissorhands, and of course, Star Wars (BLASPHEMY!).

It's pretty amazing that Mari made a creepy thing even creepier. There's no way I could shut my eyes with one of those things in my house. Even if I threw it in the trash and put a brick over the garbage can, it would find a way out. Those twinkly eyes say "I will eat your face tonight" and that slimy grin adds "And I'll like it."

Talk Show Hosts Collide

May as well call them new BFF's. Ellen DeGeneres announced on Thursday night (March 20) that she’ll finally get her wish and be on the cover of “O” Magazine. The 51-year-old talk show host has been trying to get on the cover of Oprah’s magazine.

It's been a topic that has come up during her show for weeks! Oprah made a guest appearance on Friday’s taping of the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about “the fantastic idea.”


Ellen first broke the news on her twitter page saying, “Oprah just asked me to be on the cover of “O” magazine!” People are really Twittering like crazy. It's the new Facebook!

To make things official, Oprah made a guest appearance on Friday’s taping of the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about “the fantastic idea.” Oprah doesn't share the cover of her magazine with just anyone. The only other person to share the cover of 'O' magazine was First Lady Michelle Obama. Watch Ellen break the news to Oprah and her reaction:

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart Engaged

It's about time! Longtime couple Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are engaged and have kept it very hush-hush for more than one month, reports People. Harrison, 66, proposed to the Brothers & Sisters star, 44, during Valentine's Day weekend.

Ford and Flockhart have been dating for more than seven years. The couple met over seven years ago at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards.

This will be Calista's first marriage and the third for Harrison. The pair doesn't seem to be in any rush. They have not yet set a wedding date.

Singer Natasha Bedingfield Weds

Spring seems to be a popular time for celebrity weddings already. We're just a few days in! Singer Natasha Bedingfield can't sing her famous song, "Single" anymore.

The singer tied the knot with businessman Matthew Robinson in a ceremony held in Malibu, California Saturday afternoon. The couple dated for two years before announcing their engagement in 2008. She released this statement:

"Our wedding day was everything we'd hope it would be," said the 27-year-old bride. "It was simple, beautiful and natural. Free from trappings or formalities, it was more about expressing our love for one another infront of those we hold dearest to us than anything else."

Jade Goody Passes Away

Sad news. She may not have been a mega superstar here in the U.S. however British reality TV star Jade Goody, 27, lost her fight and passed away of cervical cancer this weekend. In the months leading up to her death Goody gave the media unprecedented access to her private life and hired publicist Max Clifford to make sure every step of her struggle was played out in front of the nation.

She'd been all over the media, making her battle with cancer very public. After her death was announced early yesterday morning, hundreds of pople arrived at her home in Essex to leave flowers and cards. She is survived by her two young sons, Bobby and Freddie.

Bruce Willis Ties The Knot

Bruce Willis, 54, said "I do" with model and actress Emma Heming, 32, on Saturday. The pair is officially married. The small wedding ceremony took place at the actor's home in Parrot Cay, Turks & Caicos.

Also present among the small group of guests were Moore and Willis's daughters, Rumer Willis, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallullah Belle, 15. Guess who else was there? Willis' ex-wife and new husband Ashton Kutcher attended the ceremony.

Don't expect to hear any drama between the couples. This clan has one of the most amicable family relationships we've ever seen from a Hollywood divorced couple. Well done everyone, we approve! Happy hitching!

The Week in Pop Culture Review

Eight Things you may have missed:

♦ M.I.A., who performed while Ultra-Pregnant at the Grammys in February and gave birth to a healthy boy on February 14th, finally released the baby's name - Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman. I kyd U not.

♦ Our friends at the AV Club made a fantastic list of films that were designed to be franchised, but failed. On the plus side, I'm hoping that Mystery Men II still has an outside shot.

♦ Reese Witherspoon bought a pig and named it "Booker T. Washington" for her 9-year old daughter, Ava. They are no longer eating pork or bacon in the Witherspoon household either.

♦ It's absolutely fine to make a spontaneous, off-color remark about the mentally or physically challenged Special Olympics athletes, as long as you apologize within 24 hours and are in the correct political party. Kolan McConiughey, a Special Olympics competitor from Michigan, has bowled three perfect games of 300, and has challenged the new Commander-In-Chief. If dumb ol' GWB had an average of 129, like Prez O, what kind of comparisons would have been made by the media?
Just asking..

♦ Mensa announced the TOP 50 American Websites. PCM didn't make the list, and my inner nerd is kind of hurt.

♦ Real Selfish Housewife of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak, who has been 'dating' Girls Gone Wild producer Joe (®the sleaziest human on Earth) Francis didn't show for a charity event for battered women. Real House-HO of Orange County Gretchen Rossi's fiance passed away in September from leukemia, and now she's shacking up with former RHOOC ex-wife Jo's, ex Slade Smiley.

♦ Recent UCLA grad, James Franco has a new page devoted to him on Facebook. "UCLA Students Against James Franco as Commencement Speaker"
The group states "Clearly, this is ridiculous. Anyone who has been in his classes knows he is an average student."

♦ My heart truly goes out to Natashia Richardson's family. This week, Jessica Lange and Dame Judi Dench also fell down.
In typical over-reactive fashion, Hollywood is expected to announce a new ribbon for Gravity Awareness.
Sometimes, bad stuff just happens.

Obama's Appearance On Leno

Appearing on "The Tonight Show," President Obama made an "uh-oh" during a coversation with the talk show host. The crowd loved him and Obama set some issues straight to the American public like the AIG bonus scandal. However, the president told host Jay Leno he'd been practicing at the White House's bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129. The he rolled a gutter ball by quipping: "It was like the Special Olympics or something." Oh, boy. I'm an Obama supporter but I cringed at that one.

Big Announcement from The Counting Crows

Dear Fans, Eighteen years ago, when Counting Crows signed our first record contract, we were an unknown band signed to DGC, the cool indie-flavored boutique label of Geffen Records.Our label mates were Sonic Youth, The Posies, Nirvana, The Sundays, Maria McKee and That Dog, to name a few. Bands knew each other, played on each other's records, toured together... It was a dream environment to be a musician, even for that time. A lot of things changed in seventeen years. DGC disappeared except as a logo on our records, and Geffen became one of many labels of a much larger conglomerate. Still, Geffen and Counting Crows never stopped working together and never stopped succeeding together. We made great music and together we sold a lot of records. We're still here.

But these days, it's a different world for a band than it is for a label. A lot of people think it's a tough time to be a band but we don't feel that way. The internet opens a world of limitless possibility, where the only boundaries are the boundaries of your own imagination. We want a chance to push those boundaries back as far as we can. Unfortunately, the directions we want to go and the opportunities we want to pursue are often things that our label is simply not allowed to do. We've been friends for a long time and we've worked together for a long time so they understand the direction we need to go in and we understand why they can't always go there with us. We all want what's best for everyone which is why we've decided to part ways.

Eighteen years ago, Counting Crows was just a little band from Berkeley. Geffen Records helped put us on the map and then they were our partner for almost two decades. We want to thank every person who worked hard for so many years to make us a successful band. We're going to go out now and see what the world has to offer a band with a lot of ideas and a lot of energy and, hopefully, a lot of years left in a career that's already surpassed our wildest dreams.

This is a big change for us but it's a border we've been wanting to cross for a long time so we want to celebrate it. The best way to do that seems to be to give a little something to all of you since, after all, you've been with us the whole time too. So, in the spirit of this new frontier we're entering, we offer you our homage to a certain lady who honored us last year by expressing her longtime deep and abiding worship of our band by naming her entire album after one of ours. From us to you, Live from The Royal Albert Hall in London, our tribute to Madonna: "Borderline". Dig it.

We've covered a lot of road on this ride and, as far as we're concerned, the busses still have a lot of white lines ahead of them.We are on our way. We will see you soon. We are coming, as Elton said, "From the end of the world to your town."

Natasha Richardson's Ski Accident

British actress Natasha Richardson was hospitalized after falling on a beginners trail at the famed Mont Tremblant ski resort during a lesson, the resort and published reports said Tuesday.

She is reportedly in serious condition with head trauma in a Montréal hospital. Perez Hilton has announced on his site that the actress has reportedly passed away due to these serious injuries.

So what happened? Richardson, 45, was not wearing a ski helmet when she was taking a private ski lesson on the Nansen, a beginners' run at Mont Tremblant. When she was near the bottom of the run in a section know as the flats, she fell down.

About an hour after the fall, Richardson started complaining of headaches. She went to a nearby hospital and was later transferred to the Intensive Care Unit of Sacré Coeur Hospital.

Richardson is famous for movies like "Nell," "The Parent Trap" and "Maid in Manhattan."She married actor Liam Neeson in 1994, and the couple have two sons.

Don Imus Has Cancer

"The day you find out is fine," he said. "But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn't think I could make it to work."

Controversial radio host Don Imus announced on the air Monday that he is battling stage II prostate cancer. WABC reports that Imus told listeners he has full faith "his doctors will beat it," but he would not reveal when he was starting treatment.

The always-outspoken Imus found himself in the center of a media storm in 2007 after he called members of the Rutgers Women's Basketball team "nappy-headed hos." He apologized, but the once prominent broadcaster was fired by CBS and MSNBC over the controversy.

The End of American Idol

Yes, you read it right. Not only has the show run out of steam, the final blow is the insider rumor that the show is FIXED! The final four have already been chosen. (See above: Gokey, Grace, Lambert, Rounds). How is all this possible?

Let's face it folks. For the most part the contestants are entertainers, not artist. We have seen over the years the questionable talent that moved up the ranks. The show has fought to prove itself a talent show and not a popularity contest and in that vain, it seems staffers from the inside are beginning to leak that information to the press. Various columnist are reporting that an American Idol staffer is seeking audience with any member of the press they can find to reveal the show has already picked its final four contestants: (see photo above - left to right) Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Adam Lambert, and Lil Rounds. While these four are speculated to be the final four by various publications, the American Idol staff member is attempting to prove without a shadow of doubt the show is fixed by providing talking points between producers outlining they feel Lambert and Rounds as winners would be a repeat of prior selections. The show once again backs itself into the corner of popularity contest and not talent by way of Gokey's heartbreaking story of losing his wife recently to a tragic heart surgery. Fox is playing off this sentimental note and regardless of Gokey's talent, this is factoring into to their programming.

Last year David Archuleta implied the show was fixed when in early seasons Ryan Seacrest didn't get numbers straight on votes but still knew who the finalist needed to be.

With constant news like this and past gaffes by Paula Abdul where she seemed to indicate the show was fixed...(reading notes of performances that had not taken place on TV yet) it's all adding up.

Swimming With Sharks (Not Just In Hollywood)

700 swimmers took part in a race this past Sunday off Cronulla beach in Sydney, Australia. Few realized that they were swimming with sharks! One hammerhead was spotted near the racers, and another smaller shark was seen in the water beneath them. This video, from ITN, captures the drama. The camera was able to pick up the hammerhead, but it wasn't able to get an image of the other one. The excessive and persistent fear of sharks is termed galeophobia. It seems, from the looks of this vidoe, and from my own personal travels to Australia, that many Aussies don't have a fear of sharks in the waters around them.

President Obama Scheduled To Appear On Leno

Holy presidents! In a rare move, President Obama will appear on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" this Thursday as part of his larger tour through Southern California. Bet Jay Leno is screaming with joy, his ratings will probably be through the roof. There has never been a president in office that has appeared on a late night show before this scheduled appearance. Interesting. Obama is hitting the late-night comedy circuit to pitch his economic recovery plan.

According to the New York Times, the Leno appearance is unusual but not totally unprecedented: "Presidential candidates often appear on television shows when they're trying to get elected, but once successful, it is rare to find a commander in chief appearing on TV shows except as joke fodder." The president, who remains personally popular despite growing questions about his policies, is banking on the chance to broaden his audience beyond cable news junkies and political elites. Will you tune in? Tell us how you're being affected by this economy of ours. Leave a comment.

Carson Daly Welcomes Baby Boy

Baby alert, baby alert! The late-night talk show host and former TRL host Carson Daly has welcomed his first child. Daly and longtime girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed a baby boy on Sunday night.

Jackson James Daly, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., is the first child for the couple. "Parents are both ecstatic," his rep Heather Lylis said. "They have a happy and healthy baby boy."

We approve, pretty normal baby name! Phew, that was a close call!

OTHER BABY NEWS: In other not-so-A-list baby news, porn star Jenna Jameson and boyfriend Tito Ortiz of UFC fame have welcomed healthy twin boys in Newport Beach. More twins! Brooke Mueller, the third wife of Two and a Half Men and Spin City star Charlie Sheen, gave birth to the twin boys as well this week.

Whitney Port Splits With Aussie Boyfriend

The City star Whitney Port has split from her Australian musician boyfriend Jay Lyon, Us Weekly has confirmed. Fans saw the break-up take place last night on the show's finale on MTV.

The couple, who we saw meet on The Hills, then continued their relationship in New York on The City, decided to part ways after less than a year together. This makes us a bit sad, we thought they were cute together!

The City creator and executive producer Adam DiVello said, “Whitney and Jay are broken up as of The City season finale. There were a few factors in their relationship that led to their split and fans saw those play out on-air."

"As we pick up where we left off when The City returns later this year, viewers will see what unfolds as we continue to follow Whitney Port and her story."

Hmm, looks like there's more to the story after all. Never say never!

Actor Ron Silver Dies of Cancer

Tony award winning Actor Ron Silver, and outsider within the ranks of actors for being a Republican died today of throat (esophageal) cancer. He was 62. He died peacefully in his sleep Sunday morning.

No one really dies until you forget them. Ron Silver leaves behind a legacy so that he too can be remembered. It's a legacy where his two passions of acting and politics intertwined. With films such as his potrayal of Alan Dershowitz in Reversal of Fortune and TV shows like West Wing to narratives in documentaries like Fahrenhype 9/11.

Ron often mixed acting and politics. He was part of the actors coalition in which he co-founded Creative Coalition (meant to be non-partisan) with fellow actors and actresses such Alec Baldwin, Stephen Collins, Christopher Reeve, Blair Brown and Susan Sarandon. As his political views veered conservative (after 9/11) and he openly began to endorse local politicians such as Rudy Giuliani to Republican Presidential candidates it made for lively discussions with his still close liberal friends. It just goes to show we all can live together despite our differences. But it's sad we have to live without Ron Silver anymore.

Ron leaves behind his ex-wife Lynne Miller and children Adam and Alexandra.

Cramer Vrs Stewart ...Not. Stewart Dismantles CNBC

What do you get when you lie to people then condemn them for being gullible enough to believe you? Exposed.

This was not a fight. This was an educated and mature discussion with some mature language in which Jon Stewart stood up for every American and shows Networks such as CNBC is more interested in reporting instead of investigative reporting.


Didn't you wonder how the housing market could go on forever instead of bubbling like the Internet and other bubbles? We all saw this coming. We are NOT in a recession. We are in a depression. call it mild, call it severe, I don't care what adjective you use to describe it, but we are in a depression. We have paid the price for allowing so many people in power destroy the fabric of our nation. From businesses, politicians and here in this example ...the media.


We are being lied to everyday people. It is up to you to use your head and not just drink the cool-aid without asking what's in it.

What is your 401k or long term stock worth now? Is it your fault? For the common American investor, the answer is "Hell no!" Yet you now have not only lost your investment, you my have lost your job, home and more.

I am NO fan of comedy central's Daily Show. I think it is agenda based in many areas and like other media outlets that are unbalanced, I can only take so much BS before I tune out. But to see Jon Stewart approach this point without malice and good intent was a reminder that somehow, some way good journalism (from a comedy network of all things) does exist.

I mean think about it. Do you even watch the national network news at 6:30 pm each night? They offer us 22 minutes of news. They don't offer much between commercials for pharmaceutical companies. You get one if any 'investigative reporting segment' per episode. The rest is national weather, and fluff. "Person of the Week" is perhaps the secondary investigative piece, go figure. The worst is we get short sound bites, visuals without anything to focus on and most of all, agenda based political reporting. It is no wonder the Internet has pounded the news print advertisers into the ground. Who is going to give us the truth when we need it?

For now check out all three parts of this Jim Cramer and Jon Stewart interview. You should walk away with a better understanding that God gave us instincts for a reason. Use your head people. And good luck with so much against us.

The Pussycat Dolls Premiere Jai Ho Video

Pussycat Dolls have just premiered the video for their version of A R Rahman’s Oscar winning “Jai Ho!” “It was such a great honor to be able to re-write my own version of the lyrics,” said PCD’s Nicole Scherzinger who worked with producer Ron Fair on the new interpretation of the track. The Dolls shot the video for “Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)” at an abandoned train station museum in snowy Vienna with director Thomas Kloss (Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus).
Doll Domination is available now.

Marvel Resets Release Dates

No wonder with rumors abounding over is Micky Rourke in Iron Man 2 (yes, confirmed by Marvel) to is Kenneth Branagh going to direct or perhaps even star in the Thor movie? Branagh is the director folks -- well...Marvel has opted to reset the timetable of release dates for the following movies:

Iron Man 2 May 2010
Thor moved back a year to June 2011
Captain America July 2011
Spider-Man 4 May 2011
Avengers May 2012

With Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury and locked into as many nine films, the stage is set for each character to be established in their own film then segued into the Avengers film in 2012. Marvel is on record as being committed to eventually releasing two films per year.

As for Branagh; he is directing Thor and was seen recently eating dinner with Alexander Skarsgård whom clearly fits the build for the lead role of Thor towering at 6'4" in stature.

In other news, the Fantastic 4 appears to be subject to recasting. No word if this is yet another reboot as in the case of Hulk. In the case of Hulk, despite the reboot, Marvel was wise enough not to put fans through a restart. The Fantastic 4 may get a new cast, but it appears we will not be required to experience an whole new restart of the story line.

Perfection!

Twilight's Robert Pattinson sets the record straight about his dating life, his friendship with Joe Jonas' girlfriend Camillia Belle, and the rumored Kristen Stewart "proposal" in the April issue of GQ Magazine. Why do I foresee a frenzy of tween girls causing GQ to sell-out at newsstands across the country! I can't say I blame them...the cover shot and photo spread are smoking hot!

Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan becomes a U.S. Citizen!

Cesar Millan , star of the Emmy-nominated National Geographic Channel hit series Dog Whisperer and best-selling author, passed his U.S. citizenship test earlier this year and took an oath today to officially become a U.S. citizen! Hoorray for Cesar, we love this guy!

He just attended a swearing in-ceremony this morning with dozens of others in Montebello, Calif., just north of Los Angeles. Cesar was joined by his wife Ilusion and two sons, Andre and Calvin, who attended to cheer him on. Check out the interview PCM did with Ilusion here!

No Doubt Talks "Hey Baby," and "Just A Girl"

We're dying to get our hands on some No Doubt summer concert tickets! Remember all the great singles they came out with? "Just A Girl." "It's My Life." "Ex-Girlfriend." C'mon, how could you not like No Doubt? Check out a few new viral vids the band has made and posted to their website. There are a bunch more - each video has the band talking about some of their favorite past songs and what they remember about writing and recording them. Remember, Paramore is opening up for No Doubt this summer, go get yourself some tickets! It's a hot show!

John & Jen Really Over This Time?

When will the rumors about this on again-off again couple ever stop? Aniston and Mayer went public for the first time at the Oscars at the end of last month. Backstage at the Kodak Theatre. Now this is what we're hearing...

A source says the pair may have ended sometime within the last week, when Aniston returned from her overseas Marley & Me junket. Aniston's rep did not immediately comment. Mayer's rep declined to comment on the singer's personal life. Someone tell us something! They seemed so happy, we are thinking it's just a nasty rumor. People are getting bored and making things up. Right? RIGHT?!

"He broke up with her when she got back from her European tour," the source said. What are your thoughts?

Joaquin Phoenix Rap Fight in Miami

Joaquin Phoenix left the stage in Miami after finally reaching stage near 2am. This is hot footage that shows he was in fact engaged in a fight with a audience member.

Phoenix took exception to heckling during his rap performance and exchanged taunts before leaving the stage. "I have a million dollars in my bank account what do you got?" Answered Phoenix. Not a good statement considering the civil suit that may now ensue.

Many people including myself have been speculating if this is all an elaborate stunt for a documentary film being shot by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck (Yes, Ben's brother).

I say if Joaquin doesn't get sued, (he was not arrested for assult and no police call was reported) this is all going to be part of a big mysterious film disaster to be released later. For now it's highly entertaining for writers and bloggers to speculate on. You decide. What do you think?

MUPPET MASSACRE!!

Where was PETA when you really, really needed them?! There's a sack of flour somewhere waiting to unload itself all over this butchery!

The models at Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's fashion show in Paris last night walked down the runway wearing the decapitated heads and hides of our beloved Muppet friends. Even Fozzie. NOT FOZZIE!

Raise Your Hand If You're Surprised

Just you two? Really?

It seems like Star Magazine actually had a good scoop yesterday. They reported that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston had officially broken up, and that Bristol wouldn’t allow Levi to spend any time with their baby Tripp.

Wednesday evening, Levi confirmed the break-up news himself, as he stood outside of his family’s home. Levi claimed that the decision to split was “mutual” and that they decided it “a while ago”. Uh, the baby was just born at the end of December. How long “a while” ago did they decide to split? Like two seconds after giving birth?

People has more:
"Levi Johnston doesn’t want you to believe everything you read.

Standing outside his family home in Wasilla, Alaska, Wednesday, the 19-year-old confirmed that the end of his engagement to Bristol Palin was mutual and decided “a while ago.” But, he also told the Associated Press that the rumors on the Internet of why and how were inaccurate.

Meanwhile, Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin, issued a statement through her mother’s political action committee, saying, “Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do many things to ‘cash in’ on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth.”

The teenagers’ infant son, Tripp, was born Dec. 27.

Representatives for Gov. Palin have not returned calls for comment."

The New Batman AND the New Robin!

Here is a first look at the new Batman and Robin. Let me be the first to tell you I'm not geeked up over a new Robin. I'm not geeked up about any Robin actually. But the Internet is buzzing with who is the new dynamic duo?

Bruce Wayne is no longer Batman in the current DC Universe Dark Knight franchise. The buzz behind the cowl is who is Batman? Is it Bruce? Is it Damien Wayne or even Dick Greyson? Some speculate that Damien is Robin. Every aspect of the drawing above (such as hair color) is being analyzed to determine who is who.

What we do know is that Grant Morrison is return to the Dark Knight title to a split readership. Some say he killed DC with Final Crisis while others welcome him back as savior.

One thing is certain. Most everyone thinks that Robin has outlived his welcome. In this modern era he makes no sense with Batman unless Robin was re-written as a girl sidekick. What do you think?

Why So Classy? :: Hayden Panettiere

If your name is Hayden Panettiere, don't go around acting like you're hot poop. Because you're not.

UsWeekly says that at a benefit for the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Foundation in Honolulu, Hayden flipped out at photographers and reporters. Before posing for pictures, she yelled "Back up!" When a TV reported touched her on the shoulder to get her attention, Hayden screamed, "Don't you ever touch me!" Hayden finally had enough, but before she stomped off, she told reporters, "You all make my life miserable!"

She's even making the whales cry!

PCM Recommended Reading: The Movie That Changed My Life

From Sarah Jessica Parker to Ralph Nader, Bill Maher to Jerry Rice, Donald Trump to Jesse Jackson, Danielle Steel to Gore Vidal, this fascinating and entertaining collection reveals the films that have left their mark on the individuals shaping our world..."

We think celebrity and movie lovers will fall in love with this book! We did! It's a perfect coffee table book that will have you skimming through it for hours. Actors, politicians and comedians offer their take on the movies that have shaped their careers and who inspires them. It's offers quite a lot of tidbits and facts about some of the best movies ever made. We especially liked Hugh Hefner's take on Casablanca, Tim Gunn's opinion on Blowup and Seth Rogen's feelings on Clerks.

You'll learn a lot from this book and it'll start conversations and debates about movie classics!

Mother of the Year: Shauna Sand-Lamas

Shauna Sand-Lamas, ex-wife of Falcon Crest star Lorenzo Lamas, should really write a book on how to be the perfect mother. Lynne Spears & Dina Lohan have nothing on this woman!

In the video above, Shauna tells TMZ that Playboy has been a big part of her family. Shauna said she's been taking her daughters to the Playboy mansion since they were 4 (and where was Hef in all this?! Yeah, we know -- in the grotto...). Shauna then turned to her 9-year-old daughter and said, "Do you want to be in Playboy?? Rip the Mother of the Century trophy out of OctoCrazy's slimy hands, because we have ourselves a new winner!

If you're a mother and you have dreams of your daughter spread eagle in the pages of Playboy, then you need to go down to the doctor and ask for a jumbo shot of mother's intuition. Or just ask for a shot in the head, period.

Shauna's little daughter's sarcastic response was, "Yeah, a little girl in a magazine with stripper shoes and a bathing suit." Ha!

Gimme, Gimme More...CHEETOS!

Oh, Britney, Britney, Britney. Tsk tsk tsk.

Here’s Britney Spears on tour in Atlanta. Now...what are they feeding Britney on this tour?! I want to see her rider!

Her management better watch her diet, because at this rate, by the end of the tour they are going to have to wheel her off stage.

Michelle Obama Wasn't Always So Fashionable

Our Nation's First Lady may be a fashion icon now, but she has some skeletons in her closet...

Skeletons wearing gold polyester, that is!

This weeks' Enquirer shows Michelle Obama's senior prom picture.
Let's just say...it was the 80's.

And is that one of The O'Jays as her date?! Hmm!

Nice Knowing Ya, Emma Roberts...

Well, no one ever warned Caesar to beware the Kalends of March...

But March could be a bad month for the Jonas Brothers. First their 3D concert movie failed to send movie audiences into shrieking fits. Now a potential conquest has confirmed that the teenyboppers are making a skeevy name for themselves.

In her upcoming Teen Vogue cover story, 18-year-old Nancy Drew star Emma Roberts says she’d like to date a musician (it's nice to be young & stupid...), but that the JoBros are “a little tainted.” “I used to have a crush on Nick [Jonas],” she admits. “But he’s kind of making his rounds in Hollywood, and I don’t know if I like that.”

“Making his rounds?” Ouch! Looks like all the purity rings in the world don’t matter if you’re hopping from Disney star to Disney star and dumping girls by text.

On the other hand, poor Emma is about to be eaten alive by the squealing JoBro fans all across this great nation of ours...

PCM Recommends...EARTH!

For more info, songs, etc., visit www.myspace.com/earthofficial.

Earth was formed in Olympia, Wa. In the early 90s' by Dylan Carlson. In those days some of the members of Earth included Slim Moon (later to found kill rock stars), and Greg Babior. The original lineup was 2 guitars, vocals, and various old analog synths. After moving to Seattle, Slim Moon and Greg Babior exit... Dave Harwell and Joe Preston join the group. With this lineup Earth records in Portland, Oregon at Smegma Studios with Mike Lastra. Kurt Kobain (Nirvana) and Kelly Canary (Dickless) both contribute vocals to this session. Sub Pop becomes interested after seeing Earth perform live and agree to release the Portland sessions as the : "Extra Capsular Extraction" EP. The release is now legendary for its ultra heavy and slow mammoth riffing. Taking Sabbath and the Melvins to a entirely slower sub-level!

The lineup strips down to a two piece (Dylan and Dave ) when Joe Preston is asked to join the Melvins. Earth record their next album "Earth2 " in August 2002 at Avast studios with Stuart Hallerman at the helm. Many consider this record a definitive statement of the drone triumphant. Others merely see it as the inevitable ressult of the damage downers do to perception of time and duration. Whichever the case its influence is absolutely undeniable. If it wasnt for this album bands like sunn0))) wouldnt even exist! Shortly after the release of Earth2, Dave leaves Earth. In the fall of '93 recording begins on Phase3: Thrones and Dominions. Joining Dylan for these sessions is Tommy Hansen (formerly of the Fartz and Crisis Party) and Ian Dickson on guitars. Phase 3 is finished a year later (fall '94) with Rick Cambern on drums for one track. After many trials and tribulations Phase 3 is finally released by Sub Pop in April '95. Ian Dickson becomes a permanent memberis of Earth and the lineup is now (Dylan and Ian). In February '96 2 new members are added to the group; Shawn McElligot on lead guitar and Mike McDaniels on drums. The group travels to Studio .45, (which happens to be in the old Colt manufacturing plant) in Hartford, Connecticut to record with Mike Deming."Pentastar" (In The Style of Demons) is a result of the Connecticut sessions and is released July 23rd 1996 on Sub Pop. This is a Earth ROCK album. Bass, drums, guitars and (some ) vocals. It is the most "traditional" sounding Earth album recorded. After the release of this album the "group" disbands and Earth/Dylan Carlson go on hiatus.

After a re-issue of some older demos and live recordings ("Sunn amps and Smashed Guitars - Live on No Quarter records ), Earth becomes active once again with the addition of Adrienne Davies on drums. Earth unveils it's new cleaner, sparser, and more improvisational style. In September of 2002 Earth embarks on a week long tour of the east coast. Earth performs as a drums and guitar duo for the first time. In March of 2003 Earth headlines a Southern Lord showcase at the SxSW festival in Austin, TX. with this same lineup. In 2003 they also also embark on a European tour with KK Null. In 2004 Dylan and Adrienne prepare intensely for the recording of their next album. Meanwhile, in early 2005 No Quarter and Southern Lord release a CD and vinyl version (SLR handles the vinyl) of remixes of Earth tracks by Mogwai, Russell Haswell, sunn0))), Jim O'Rourke, Justin broedrick, and Autechre. The album; Legacy of Dissolution is a honorable tribute to the legacy of one of the most important experimental musical groups of our time.

With renewed vigor and new direction Earth returns September 2005 with their first studio album in 9 years. With each album released, EARTH progresses and diversifies their sound, pushing all boundaries of preconceived perceptions. "Hex; or Printing in the Infernal Method" is absolutely no exception. Once again EARTH has created a intensely powerful album that defies the normal restrictions of a definable genre. The monolithic darkness of previous releases such as : EARTH2 or Pentastar (In the style of Demons) is still very apparent however has now been channeled into a different direction. It is a decided shift away from an overly saturated and distorted guitar sound, and explores some of the earlier forms of modifying pure guitar tones, using compression, echo, tremelo, and reverb. It is a specifically 'american' style.("Black Americana")?

The playing on this album is determined and bursting with reborn confidence. The opening track: "Mirage/Land of Some Other Order" effectively establishes a decided country/western aura throughout the album with "relaxed" tones that are reminiscent of a immense desert landscape at dusk. It is a sound that innjects the influence of country guitarists/songwriters such as: Duane Eddy, Merle Haggard, Roy Buchanan and fuses it with the vibe of epic visionary composer: Ennio Morricone. Beautifully darkened, huge chords that resonate very slowly with every single note played with passionate conviction. "Left In The Desert" and "Tethered To The Pole Star" contain a similar atmosphere to many of these songs as it invokes a feeling of slight hope after sentiments of despair. Besides the western emanations, "Hex" also incorporates moody, anthemic Rock and Blues within the song structures. Raiford (The Felon Wind) and "A Inquest Concerning Teeth" reveal influences such as: Neil Young (especially the "Dead Man" soundtrack), and Billy Gibbons. As in the past ("EARTH2") where EARTH took the heaviness of Black Sabbath, Melvins etc. and made it even slower and more mammoth, with "Hex" they have incorporated these new influences into a innovative sound all their own. Its a sound that is bold, vital and as essential as anything they have ever done in the past.

And now for a few words from our man himself: Dylan Carlson (regarding the evolution of the Earth sound.....)

"The ongoing musical project which is earth has always been concerned with repetition and the drone or THE NOTE. When I was younger and full of hubris I believed that a "pure" or "original" music could be developed in a static and removed state from other music. I now realize that music, especially music containing the drone or THE NOTE, and music that effects a spiritual reaction from the listener is a continuum. It is a music that has continued throughout time and manifested itself in a number of different forms or "genres" or"styles". I began to see my music as part of and a product of that continuum. I also began to see that continuum strongly expressed in historically 'american' forms. Specifically the "genres" of "country" and "blues". The truly 'cosmic american musics'. This specifically 'american' style also got me thinking of the history of this continent. A continent of formerly endless frontiers. I was heavily influenced by the book "Blood Meridian; or the Evening Redness In the West". A book that explores the real western expansion and real clash of people on this newest continent. It has been a continent that from the beginning has been alien and hostile yet posessing a bewithcing beauty. " A land of some other order. Whose geology is not of stone ,but of fear." There is an occult history to this continent, one of a continent evil in and of itself, a continent which the inhabitants have had to suffer mightily to carve their various "New Jerusalems" out of. An infernal landscape which requires, from us, a song. Dylan Carlson summer 2005."

What Men Really Think: TO deserves getting dumped by Dallas

It could not have happened to a better guy. Of course he's rich, but he's no role model. He never grew up and the Dallas Cowboy's have had enough of his crap. For his 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns he still lost his job as Dallas Cowboys wide receiver.

Why is it a good thing? Owens gives athletes and men a bad name. He's a jack azz. He does not see himself as accountable for anything he says or does; calling his former QB gay comes to mind. He's selfish to no end. In fact any QB that has not thrown him the ball enough ends up in his sights. He's ridiculed everyone except his Dallas QB which is ironic.

Owens doesn't even connect with fans. Well, he does as the first month he's signed to a team but eventually his welcome is worn as each cities base of fans get a dose of his narcissism.

After all this, you must ask yourself, should Terrell Owens be a role model for children to aspire to be like?

It just goes to show, despite a 12 million dollar signing bonus, he can still rub people the wrong way. You really need to be one major azz to have a team that gives a 12 million dollar signing bonus the mind to boot your azz after the season ends. Good riddance to bad baggage. May he never work in the NFL again.

OH, COME ON ALREADY!!!

If you had even a scintilla of doubt lingering that this woman had even a hint of a functioning brain cell, let this news serve as your salvo.

TMZ says that someone is currently trying to sell OctoCrazy's birth tape for around seven figures. No, the horror show wasn't directed by Eli Roth, but somebody shot that film in the delivery room...with OctoCrazy's blessing.

Seriously, this will make Saw look like The Sound of Music. A blood bath to rival all blood baths.

Folks, let me save you the trouble of what it will look like...


You're welcome.

What To Expect From Season 3

The Kardashian family sucks you right back into their crazy life as soon as the first episode begins of Season 3. For the first time, the audience is able to see more of where each girl rests her head at night. During the last two seasons, filming has mostly been at their parents house in Calabasas, CA. We're now seeing the Kardashian's at their separate townhouses/apts and even seeing young Robert, Jr. moving in with his girlfriend, Cheetah Girl, Adrienne Bailon. Bailon has been featured in past episodes but seems to be playing a bigger role in this season.

E! isn't stiffing the reality show fans on any drama. We're seeing wild sister Khloe dealing with her DUI arrest and (the now infamous) day she went to jail and served... 3 hours. The family surprisingly keeps you entertained and laughing as their dealing with Khloe being locked behind bars during the season opener.

The show takes on more of a serious vibe when we watched mother, Kris, deal with the death of her late husband, Robert Kardashian. Fans of the show have seen the effects of his death on the Kardashian siblings but Kris had never opened up to the show as much as she does this season about finding closure with his death.

PCM thinks it's going to be a wild season that will leave the TV show fans very satisfied. The season opens strong and will certainly attract new viewers with the new events that are happening to each sibling on the show. Reality TV show fans looking for another "guilty pleasure" show will be very happy with this one. It's a doozy.

Barbara Walters' Freudian Slip

Uhm...not really Barbara. Not really.

Hello, Pinky!

Everyone, say hello to Pinky!

Pinky was first discovered by a charter boat on Lake Calcasieu in Louisiana in 2007. What some scientists are saying is the world's first "pink" Bottlenose dolphin has been spotted again in the same area.

But some scientists say that Pinky is actually an albino dolphin, because he has pink eyes.

You make the call.

Either way, he's a cutie!

Don't Call Mc911 To Have It Your Way

People are running out of options in fraudulent restaurant activities in Florida and getting themselves arrested out of frustration.

Are these moronic people? On the surface you'd think so. But the underlying problem is the firm "All Sales are Final" policies at Florida fast food joints. Consumers are finding that restaurants use this policy to take advantage of customers. Case number one in February 2009. Jean Fortune calls 911 because his Burger King order was short a 'Lemonade' and he wouldn't take a Coke. With no refund available he settled for dialing 911. You have to wonder how bad customer service has to be for someone to call 911. The operator remind the Mr. Fortune, "Customer service is not a reason to call 911. 911 is if you're dying. Do you understand that?" Fortune was charged by police with abuse of 911 services.

On the surface you'd think this guy is a crackpot and deserved what he got. But then jump to March 3rd 2009... Same state! ...Latreasa Goodman dials up 911 not once but three times in her determination to have McDonalds do the right thing. Goodman's angst centered around McDonald's running out of McNuggets. They offered her two burgers. She didn't want the burgers and again with a no refund policy she was stuck. With no advocate to get her money back she resorted to dialing 911. Big mistake. She too was cited for misusing 911.

Sure on the surface these people are perhaps unbalanced for not handling their complaints in a civil manner. But when you see a pattern such as this... you need to look deeper than just laughing at someone's mistake.

If nothing else, the message should be clear to everyone. 911 is for emergencies and bad customer service is not an emergency.

-Lars Hindsley

Chris Cornell Album Premiere Today!

With one week until record release, Chris Cornell is giving his fans the opportunity to hear the album as it was intended-in full. Cornell will be streaming his anticipated 3rd solo album, Scream, produced by Timbaland, on MySpace for 48 hours starting at 12pm EST today, March 3rd till 12pm EST Thursday, March 5th.

Scream is a seamless work. Timbaland makes inventive use of Cornell’s soaring melodies and incisive lyrics, setting his intense vocal performances against a lush, expressive soundscape and irresistible stutter-step beats. The inventive new work looks to spearhead a brave new world of cross-genre collaboration.

The 13-track album is due out on March 10th via Interscope/Mosley Music. Chris is currently on tour in Europe and will kick off his multi-city US tour on March 28th in Dallas, TX. Scream showcases a new, seductive sound - dark, multi-layered and full of puzzles and surprises. The songs bring a new cinematic scope to Cornell's performances, with potent visual imagery echoing the non-stop musical assault from his internationally acclaimed live band. "Musically, this is the most ambitious thing I've been a part of. It's almost like a movie soundtrack," says Cornell, who while on tour will also be playing other music from throughout his two-decade, 14-album career.

Out of a seemingly unlikely collaboration, comes an instantly familiar sound which defies genre’s and pushes the envelope of sound.

*TUNE IN to the Worldwide Exclusive Listening Session*
Be the 1st to hear SCREAM!!

Why So Classy? :: Megan Hauserman

Megan Hauserman needs to realize that if she's going to be on a Vh1 reality show, she's either going to get her butt kicked (if she's lucky) or she's going to catch some mutant strain of VD. More than that: you should know, as a person, that you don't mess with someone's family, especially someone who can answer the question, "You and what army?"

That's why Megan shouldn't be shocked that Sharon Osbourne poured wine on her head and yanked at her skanky weave after she called Ozzy "brain dead." The brawl went down on the Rock of Love: Charm School reunion show a little while ago and now Megan is suing over it.

TMZ says Megan filed the lawsuit yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court. Megan is suing for "for battery, negligence and infliction of emotional distress."

Emotional distress?! Battery? This is coming from someone who kissed Bret Michaels and probably peeked under under his bandana. If that doesn't scar you for life, I don't know what does.

Welcome Back Bernadette! :: The Bachelor

First off, I'm wishing myself a WELCOME BACK to the blog after a brief hiatus. (And, apologies to those of you who thought you were rid of me for good. You can't keep a good woman down!)

To celebrate my triumphant return, like Ulysses returning from the Peloponnesians, I've decided to dedicate my first post to the reality show that everyone's talking about: The Bachelor.

Reality Steve (www.realitysteve.com) was 100% correct in his spoiler predictions!

So, as everyone knows (because it made the morning news -- I mean, even Evangeline Lilly refused to sit next to him on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night!) Jason dumped Molly, proposed to Melissa, dumped Melissa and then chose Molly.

The whole thing really played out like the worst telenovela ever. This isn't even worthy of Amor Real.

First of all, if they wanted to bring the drama and raw emotion, they should have chosen a better actor, because Jason's acting skills STINK.
Note to Jason: When crying, tears have to be involved.
It just looked like he was trying to pass a kidney stone.

It became clear that the whole thing was set up when Molly kept crying about how he made the worst mistake of his life and he's going to regret it.

Ooooh, foreshadowing. Why so clever, Bachelor producers?

And millions of people learned about Jason's "regret" on the After the Rose special.

Chris Harrison started the hour by telling us what we were about to watch was so sensitive and so intimate that they decided out of respect for all parties involve to shoot it without a studio audience. Yeah, really intimate...with millions of people watching. Intimate for who...Jenna Jamison?

So, Jason came out and said that after spending time with Melissa, he realized they weren't right for each other. Then Melissa came out, Jason broke it off with her and she proceeded to show him up in the acting department.

After Melissa and Jason played out their scene, she gave the ring back and stormed off into a waiting limo. Then Molly came out, Jason asked her to be his and they lived happily ever after. *eye roll*

For the record: Jason told People that he wanted to quit Melissa off-camera, but producers said it was in his contract that it had to be done in front of everybody. Whatta guy.

I'm sure that on tonight's third reunion show (yes, there's another one), Jason will dump Molly and propose marriage to Clive Owen.

Below is a clip of Jason's amazing acting skills. Get the Oscar ready.
And what was up with that set?! All those cheap tea lights! Fire hazard!
Actually, I would've clapped if the whole joint went up in flames.
