“Super 8” Movie Trailer and Review – Amazing Summer Movie – Bring it!

The hot days of summer are upon us.

Memorial Day is behind us.

And we all know what that means……

The summer blockbusters are coming!

And to start things off this month is the great looking flick “Super 8” and a new movie trailer.

Think “Cloverfield” meets area 51.

In fact, the original screenplay was developed to be the sequel to “Cloverfield”, so you can do the math on what to expect - serious science fiction and inhuman things.

Usually we can tell by the movie trailer if we think a film is going to be any good, and all we can say about the “Super 8” trailer is this film is going to rock.

Not really a kid’s movie, but definitely a predominately teen kid cast – but with very adult adventures.

The production values of this flick are undeniable because it was written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg.

It stars the young Elle Fanning, AJ Michalka, and Kyle Chandler, and has Spielberg’s trademark all over it.

The story goes like this – a group of kids are playing around with their super 8 movie camera when they witness a train derailment.

It turns out to be a deliberate derailment of a United States Air Force train named "Groom Lake One", which was transporting undisclosed materials from Area 51 to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

After the wreck, some unknown entity escapes from one of the cargo cars and begins to cause havoc on the small town of Lillian, Ohio.

Suddenly, the military and other spooky looking Government suits start showing up and taking over.

All the dogs in town run away and strange things start happening all over.

There are disappearances, unexplained events, and eight missing people. The local sheriff investigates the cause of the events which leads to the discovery of something inhuman.

And the kids have it all on Super 8 video….



The budget for "Super 8" was a modest $45 million and is due in theaters and IMAX June 11th.

Welcome to the blockbuster movie season!

Stephen Colbert Chimes in on Anthony Weiner’s Bulging Weiner Twitter Problem

Stephen Colbert is not one to run from controversy.

Even though Stephen considers US Representative Anthony Weiner a good friend, he couldn’t help but chime in on his friend’s current swelling Twitter problem.

After Weiner told CNN, “I can’t say with certitude that this is not a picture of me”, Colbert decided he would start sending his own photo’s to Twitter.

All day Thursday, Colbert sent funny, bizarre, grotesque pictures from the plant and animal world that he could not say with certitude were not part of his body.

Each Tweet included the hash tag #ivebeenhacked.



I guess with a name like Anthony Weiner it goes with the territory, but after having the opportunity to just sweep this problem under the rug he had to open his mouth and say he could not be certain if the picture on Twitter was of him or not.

When will these politicians learn?

Anyway, here are some samples that Colbert Tweeted today questioning his very anatomy.

 

Remember, Stephen can not say with certitude that these are not pictures of his body.

Even though Colbert was at sea for almost a week racing to Bermuda, it appears the salty air has not influenced his bulging humor.

Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Found Guilty in Death of 1-Year-Old Girl

Billy Bob Thornton and family got some bad news today.

His estranged oldest daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was found guilty of the accidental death of her friend’s 1-year-old daughter, after claiming the girl died when she fell from her playpen.

Brumfield was originally charged with murder and child abuse.

The death was caused by a 1-inch fracture to the young girl’s skull and bleeding from the brain, but Brumfield maintained her defense that the child died by accident.

The jury agreed with her and found her guilty of manslaughter, a lesser crime, and accidental death instead.

Brumfield is expected back in an Orlando Florida court room in July to receive her sentence.

Billy Bob has not had contact with his oldest daughter for years. She was the child of Thornton and Melissa Lee Gatlin.

After Thornton and Gatlin divorced, Billy Bob married and divorced again before getting hitched to Hollywood A-list actress Angelina Jolie. That marriage ended in divorce also and Jolie went on to marry actor Brad Pitt.

Thornton is best known for his roles in The Informers, Mr. Woodcock, School for Scoundrels, Bad News Bears, Friday Night Lights, Bad Santa, Monster's Ball, Pushing Tin, Primary Colors, Sling Blade, Indecent Proposal, just to name a few.

The actor is currently filming the animated movie “Puss in Boots” due out later this year, and “The Baytown Disco”, a thriller about three redneck brothers who agree to help a woman save her son from an abusive father.

Thornton is also the lead singer of the band Boxmasters.

Video - Cee Lo Green Releases New "I Want You" Music Video

Our man Cee Lo Green is at it again!

After a runaway smash hit last year with his controversial “Forget You” single and video, he has just released his latest music video “I Want You”.

While admittedly not as up-tempo as “F**k You”, his new video is a refreshing return to good old fashioned soul music that quite frankly the music industry has been lacking.

Cee Lo filmed the video entirely in Las Vegas and there is definitely a Liberace feel and groove to it.

In fact, the rhinestone piano and candelabra used for the video shoot was provided by the Liberace estate and filmed entirely on the grounds of Ceasars Palace.

He even borrowed a few show girls from their Bally's Jubilee Extravaganza.
 
“I Want You” is available on Cee Lo’s “Lady Killer” album and also on iTunes.

Twitter Unveils New Picture Upload App and Improved Search – Yeah!

Anybody who has used Twitter for a while knows how great of a product it is.

But you also know the limitations that can be mind numbingly frustrating.

While addressing the crowd at the Wall Street Journal sponsored D9 conference in Rancho Palos Verdes California Wednesday, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo announced a couple big Twitter things.

Or as InfoStar calls them - Twings.

First, he said over the next few weeks they will be installing their own photo sharing app similar to TwitPic and a host of other third part vendors.

He said,

"Over the next several weeks, we'll be releasing a feature to upload a photo and attach it to your Tweet right from Twitter.com. And of course, you'll soon be able to easily do this from all of our official mobile apps."

Yeah!

It’s not that we don’t mind using TwitPic, but the simplicity of attaching a photo right from the Twitter dashboard is attractive and will save time and several extra steps.



Early speculation had been that Twitter would just purchase one of the better third party companies, but doing it all in-house will ultimately give them more control over the process. We suspect a video version won’t be far behind.

Apparently one benefit of doing it in-house is the fact that you will own the rights to your own photos. Some third party picture sharing sites actually take claim to the copyright once you upload your photo. With Twitter’s application the rights will always belong to you.

As for improved search, Twitter users will now be able to search for photos, hashtags and videos on the site.

When asked about more company or product acquisitions Costolo said,

“We bought Tweetie a year ago. And we just bought Tweetdeck. We bought Tweetdeck because every newsroom uses Tweetdeck, because it provides amazing research capabilities. Lesley Stahl’s producer told me he was using it last night.”

Bring it Twitter – we can’t wait.

America’s Got Talent Turns into a Joke – Is it the New Gong Show?

Remember 30 years ago Chuck Barris hosted a show called The Gong Show?

Well, our generation has a new Gong Show and it’s called “America’s Got Talent”.

We can’t begin to explain how bad this show is, and we’re only in the first week of the new season.

For us, the epic fail started when American Idol runner Lauren Alaina ratted out Piers Morgan on the Jay Leno Show last week.

Lauren told Piers that she had tried out for AGT on TWO occasions and had never made it past the cattle call. She never had a chance to sing in front of the judges. Really?

Related: Lauren Alaina rats out Piers Morgan - Video

Morgan and company have been telling anybody who would listen about the “exhaustive” search for “great” talent that the show’s producers underwent this season.

Really? And you passed on Lauren Alaina?

Tens of thousands of applicants from Los Angeles and Atlanta they said, yet the first show seemed to be a reincarnation of the 1970’s Gong Show.

Let’s see, after all those thousands of auditions your judges picked a guy who makes farts with his armpits, a guy that juggles Tasers, a unicycle rider who juggles while feeling Howie’s bald head, and a bad bad karaoke singer.

Yawn…….

And the guy whose students put his dance video on YouTube…. You let this guy past the cattle call and in to see the judges? And they thought he was good enough to actually put on TV?

No.

AGT is not trying to find the best talent at all. They are simply giving us a sideshow of freak acts to create buzz and sell advertising.

But they will, eventually, find a good singer and pronounce him/her the winner and everybody will be happy. But after watching the revamped American Idol this year I can’t believe that people are actually taking America’s Got Talent seriously.



And Piers Morgan is such a pompous jerk. Why does a show highlighting American talent have two British judges?

Morgan is clearly trying to be the Simon Cowell judge in the mix and is just a mean, rude, douche bag.

Compare his AGT personality to his role on CNN’s Larry King replacement show and it’s striking. On CNN, Piers lobes softball questions and acts like a little puppy dog never really engaging his guests with any serious conversation.

Which is it Piers? Douche bag or puppy dog?

It was clear last night that the three judges don’t get along. Piers and Howie Mandel hate each other, and Sharon Osbourne is stuck in the middle.

All of these judges are D-list celebrities who can’t seem to find anything better to do then judge a freak show.

At least they got rid of David Hasselhoff.

Between America’s Got Talent and Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, it’s no wonder NBC is in last place in the ratings.

Maybe a reality show with Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen and Donald Trump could pull them out of the hole.

And kids, if you don’t know who Chuck Barris is – I’m sure you can find some old vintage video of Chuck and the Gong Show on that YouTube internet thing.

Justin Timberlake Sponsored Car Wins Indianapolis 500

Award winning singer Justin Timberlake has accomplished a lot in his career.

But now he can add Indy 500 winner to his resume.

Kind of…

In a remarkable finish to this year’s race – rookie JR Hildebrand was leading in the last lap but then crashed into the wall with only half a lap to go.

This set the stage for second place Dan Wheldon to cruise to his second Indianapolis 500 career win.

But what made this win special for Justin Timberlake?

Timberlake's William Rast clothing line-sponsored Wheldon’s #10 Target Chip Ganassi car this year.

William Rast clothing is sold through Target so it was a logical move for Timberlake to sponsor the tem.

Timberlake took to twitter moments after the final lap saying,

"What a Memorial Day weekend! The William Rast car just won the Indy 500. Congrats to Dan Wheldon, the WR racing team and everyone else who put in the hard work for this victory! Unreal!"

It is not unusual these days for Hollywood to be part of the big race.

In fact, David Letterman is partners in “Rahal Letterman Racing” with friend Bobby Rahal. Their big catch is driver Danica Patrick who has raced for their team since she started.

This was an exciting race this year, and some of the drama started before the first car even left the pits.

It seems that our good friend (not) Donald Trump was scheduled to drive this year’s pace car but at the last minute was….. wait for it…. FIRED!

We could not have stood by and watched that douche bag on the track. After getting Trump out of the way, A.J. Foyt was given the honor of driving the pace car this year.

Sean Kingston Critically Injured in Jet Ski Accident Near Miami Beach

Update 1: Sean is out of the Trauma ward and has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
------
Rapper Sean Kingston is in critical condition in a Miami hospital.

Local news is reporting that Kingston and a female companion were thrown from a jet ski after hitting a concrete bridge Sunday evening near Miami Beach.

Kingston and his passenger were rescued by other boaters nearby and rescue crews stabilized them before transporting both to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Sean’s injuries are critical and he is being treated in the trauma center. The hospital has not released any update as of Monday morning.

A rep for the singer said,

“Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes."

Two men near the accident scene jumped into the water and pulled Kingston to safety and say the rapper was vomiting blood but was also talking and somewhat responsive.

Due to Sean’s size it was difficult to keep his head above water, but they held onto Kingston until police could get a boat out to him.

Once onshore, he was loaded into a waiting ambulance and transported to the hospital to be stabilized.

Kingston is well known for his song “Beautiful Girls” and for his video appearance in Justin Bieber’s music video "Eenie Meenie" as well as appearing on stage with Bieber during his North American concert tours.

Kingston has also made guest appearances on popular television shows including “90210” and “The Suite Life on Deck” with Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

His song “Fire Burning” has been featured on “Dancing With the Stars”, “So You Think you can Dance?”, “Yo Gabba Gabba!” and “Melrose Place”.

Video - Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Swap Spit and Watch Monkey Porn in New Comedy Video

Will Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis in the same room?

Both are known for their comedy and impromptu shtick, and now they have unleashed their personal side on video for the entire world to see.

The two actors sat down, in the now infamous “Between two ferns” video series on FunyorDie, to talk about Ferrell’s movie “Everything Must Go”.

The film, about a relapsing alcoholic who loses his wife and his job, stoops to holding a yard sale in his front yard in an attempt to raise money and start over.

But the two nut jobs never really get to talk much about the film. They watch monkey porn and feed each other cherries until the sexual tension is too great to handle and… well, you can see for yourself.

And please don’t ask us what the monkey was doing…



Will and Zach are currently filming the comedy “Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie”, about two guys who get a billion dollars to make a movie, only to watch their dream run off course.

Joining them on the project are John C. Reilly, Jeff Goldblum, Will Forte, Mark Cuban, Todd Wagner, and Erica Durance. The film is due for release sometime next year.

Video - Lauren Alaina Says She Was Passed over Twice for “America’s Got Talent”

Last night was an interesting night on the Jay Leno Show.

American Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina visited with Jay and “America’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan and dropped a bombshell.

Pierce was standing on his prideful soapbox plugging AGT, saying how they strive to find the best talent in the country, and no other show has this quality of acts, yada yada yada, when Lauren stopped him in his tracks.

Lauren told Piers that she had auditioned for “America’s Got Talent” on TWO separate occasions and never even made it past the screening and never got to sing for the judges.

Morgan seemed horrified, or at least as horrified as his smugly little brain will allow, and joked that he was going to call the producers as soon as he left Jay’s taping.

It was classic. And it was fun to see a 16-year-old girl put the big fat sellout Piers Morgan in his place.

Kudos Lauren!

Watch Lauren Alaina and Piers Morgan on The Jay Leno Show


In addition to embarrassing Piers, Lauren also talked to Jay about her relationship with American Idol winner Scotty McCreery.

Lauren says they are NOT a couple and are NOT involved in any way other than with preparing for the Idol summer tour starting next month.

Hmmm, we don’t believe it. The two seem like perfect lovebirds and we hope their friendship blossoms.

If the two need some advice on how to do things up right and let the world see their public displays of affection, they can just ask Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez for advice – because this Royal Couple have the PDA system down to a science.

Video – Justin Timberlake Slams Justin Bieber in Unaired SNL Skit

We all laughed at Justin Timberlake and Adam Samberg last week on Saturday Night Live.

But there was one sketch that never saw the light of day.

During a dress rehearsal for a “Mozart” sketch, in front of an audience of 300, Timberlake took a few shots at teen sensation Justin Bieber.

The plot of the skit was that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was going to take a break from his music career to become an actor. His friends scoffed at the idea asking,

“You’re nor one of those musicians who think they can act are you?”

After mentioning that he had already been in a movie about a “Social Network” and appeared on the “Austrian Mouse Club”, his friends told him they would rather go to work for “Wolfgang Amadeus Bieber”.

At this point, Timberlake says,

“Amadeus Bieber? You might as well put a wig on a chipmunk and tell him to act like a black man.”

The audience erupted in laughs.

The jabs seem to be aimed at Bieber’s guest role on the popular “CSI” crime show where the singer was ultimately gunned down, and his concert movie “Never Say Never” that Justin said would not be a concert movie….. but was.



But we think Bieber could have taken the jabs, as he himself has hosted and performed on the show several times.

We suspect the skit was pulled at the last minute in order to stop the media outcry for using the word “black man”.

Hollywood can be a fickle place.

CNBC Anchor Mark Haines Has Died – He was 65

Mark Haines, host of CNBC’s “Squawk Box” has died.

Anybody who ever watched CNBC knew who Mark Haines was. He frequently argued with not only the guests, but also his fellow colleagues.

Haines had been around for a long time and was one of the founding anchors when the network started 20 years ago when it was called FNN – Financial News Network.

In fact, it was a first of a kind and no other network existed that covered strictly the financial sector.

Haines hosted CNBC’s morning show “Squawk Box”.

Mark died unexpectedly at his home last night, the financial news network said.

CNBC President Mark Hoffman said,

"With his searing wit, profound insight and piercing interview style, he was a constant and trusted presence in business news for more than 20 years. From the dot-com bubble to the tragic events of 9/11 to the depths of the financial crisis, Mark was always the unflappable pro. Mark loved CNBC and we loved him back. He will be deeply missed."

Video - Lauren Alaina Sings “Like My Mother Does” on American Idol – Impresses Judges

American Idol finalist Lauren Alaina may be closer to winning then she thinks.

Fans around the country are rushing to the internet today in hopes of learning more about the Rossville Georgia native who has country music in her blood.

Last night on the season 10 finals, 16-year-old Lauren blew away the judges, and viewers, with her version of Kristy Lee Cook’s “Like My Mother Does”.

Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler all seemed to agree that it was the best performance of the evening and would most likely propel Alaina into the winning spot.

If Lauren wins this year’s American Idol competition, “Like My Mother Does” will become her first single on her first album.

During her performance, Lauren moved through the audience and stopped in front of her own mother to sing a few bars. By the time she returned to the stage her mother was in tear as was most of the audience.

It was the cutest thing we’ve ever seen on an Idol show.

What’s left for Justin Bieber to conquer in this world?

How about a women’s perfume.

Bieber just released the official television commercial for his female fragrance perfume called “Someday” that will retail for $35.

Is there anything this kid can’t do? Or won’t do?

While most macho rock stars are inclined to create a masculine men's cologne, Bieber thinks the way to his fans heart is through a women’s fragrance. After all, he was successful in marketing his own brand of girl’s finger nail polish.

Bieber told Women’s Wear Daily,

"The way a girl smells is very important to a guy, I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world."

Adam Lambert Sports Some Wicked Facial Hair – Photo

Okay, we weren’t going to say anything about this… but,

We saw a picture of American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert last month with him sporting a new beard and mustache.

No, not that kind of beard.

Our first thought was it was a John Water’s kind of thing and was probably not real. You know, draw on a mustache for a special event and clean it off at the end of the night.

But Lambert attended, and presented, at the ASCAP Music Awards last month and arrived sporting what can only be called a strange hair style and facial hair additions.

His hi-top black coiffed hair and his new mustache and beard really make him look like a late night horror movie host.

Are we wrong?

What do you think?

Good? Bad? Too Much? Just right?

The “What do you want from me?” and American Idol veteran is currently working on his second album for release later this year.

Obama's Limo Gets Stuck on Speed Bump in Ireland – Video

He has the most expensive armor plated limo in the world.

He travels with 15 vehicles as part of his motorcade.

President Barack Obama’s limo is the most advance vehicle ever built, with oxygen tanks and secret weapons on-board that are only seen in the movies.

So what brought his limo to a screeching halt today in Ireland?

A speed bump.

Obama was visiting Ireland on Monday and as his motorcade left the Dublin Embassy his top-secret Cadillac Limousine clipped a speed bump causing a screeching sound that brought him to a dead stop.

You can see, and hear, in the video that the car directly ahead of the Presidents was able to clear the obstacle but clearly bottomed out as well.

But when Obama’s vehicle tried to make it over the same bump…… well, we’ll let the video show you what happened.

Russell Brand Deported From Japan Over Criminal Past

We all know it can be hard to keep your nose clean in Hollywood.

But “Arthur” star Russell Brand found out the hard way.

Brand, who is married to pop star Katy Perry, was visiting Japan to be with his wife while on tour but was detained at the airport.

After a background check the Japanese authorities decided they did not want the likes of Mr. Brand in their country so they deported him.

Brand, who openly admits his years of drug and alcohol abuse, and past arrests, says that his prior bad history prompted Japan to ask him to leave.

His recent wife Katy Perry tweeted,

"So...my husband just got deported from Japan. I am so sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place #tokyodreamscrushed"

Brand, ever the comedian, tweeted back,

"Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick. "Stockholm syndrome kicking in. Just asked my guard out for (vegetarian) sushi. He giggled."

Perry later said she still loves Japan and her Japanese fans, and will continue her tour and does not hold any grudges since she knew what she was getting into with Russell.

For his part, Brand can still be seen legally in the smash summer hit movie “Arthur”, about a drunken playboy who stands to lose a wealthy inheritance when he falls for a woman his family doesn't like.

He is currently filming “Rock of Ages” with A-list actors Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary J. Blige, Paul Giamatti, and Bryan Cranston.

“Rock of Ages” is and adaption of the hit Broadway show and will tell the story of a small-town girl who arrives in Hollywood at the height of the 1980’s rock-music scene.
