Ben's Bagel

Isn't it strange how celebrities can get away with murder? Ben Stiller shows up at a restaurant with his own food and asks the water to cook it. Mind you, it was only a bagel, but still! Could you imagine bringing in a box of Honeycombs and telling a server that you need a bowl of cereal with Peruvian sliced bananas (do they have bananas in Peru?) in a pink bowl, with low-fat chocolate milk? I imagine you'd get your ass thrown out on the street and then laughed at. Actually, that could possibly be in the wrong order. Stupid celebrities. Original post.

Anna @ Live 8

Pretend you're a fat pig who used to be in Playboy. Well, you're just crazy enough to marry a man 32x your own age, then he dies, you get money, you lose it, you get it, you lose it... I forget whether she has any now or not, but then you lose some weight and you look like this: That's right. Not only were you a freak before you lost all that weight, but now you're a freak, and a scary Meth-head. Look at her! Man, what a train wreck. It's just a shame her reality show isn't still on. Or is it? Ah, whatever... Who cares. Original Post.

Oh, to be Famous

If you were a famous actor or musician, would this be the picture you wanted posted all over the internet? No matter how famous you've become, you have to know that if you take a picture like this it's going to end up on the internet and you're going to have to answer for it.Okay, I know it's AJ from the Backstreet Boys (because the JPG was named backstreetAJ.jpg), and that means pretty much nothing, but it still matters, doesn't it? I suppose because you're a Backstreet Boy you'd want to have publicity like this. What other kind of attention are they getting? Many thanks to A Socialite's Life for finding things like this for us to ridicule.

Adrienne!

What will they think of next? Another Rocky movie? Brilliant. Another Rocky movie with Sylvester Stallone? Brilliant * 2. Did you catch the sarcasm there? I hope so. I ran across this article from thestar.com and was just about floored. In the back of my head I am sure I heard this through other sources a few weeks ago, but I probably just dismissed it as stupid people saying stupid things. If only I'd pay attention to people when they're actually saying something that I'll laugh at.The new Rocky movie, currently titled Rocky Balboa, will feature Sylvester Stallone as a geriatric patient who beats up the orderlies in the old folks home after they refuse to give him the bowl of Ben & Jerry's that he's worked so hard to get. Adrianne, his wife, is long dead, yet he still screams out her name every time the male orderlies pass his room without a bowl in their hand.Okay, so that's not really going to happen. Here's the plotline from IMDB:

Rocky comes out of retirement to go in the ring once again this time he is taking on an old foe in the shape of Clubber Lang.

And that's about all the information they'll give. Good thing they're not letting the Sylvester out of the bag. We don't want them to ruin the ending for us. Who wins? I forget. Is it the Russian guy? Apollo? Hrrrmm.. I just can't figure it out. This guy, who should know better when he announces a new Rocky movie, should stop his whining.

Enough with the Rocky jokes already, complains Joe Roth, who heads Revolution Studios, which along with Sony Pictures and its new banner, MGM, is producing the new Rocky picture. "You can't turn on television without someone making fun of it," he said. "Jokes like, `Who's he going to fight, Alan Alda?' ... It's very easy to be cynical."

Well of course people are going to make jokes. I see a very small crowd who will actually love this movie. These are those boxing guys who just can't get enough. Half of them think they're Rocky and the other half wish they were. The rest of the viewing public might just go see it because the notion of sending a 60 year old man into the ring to fight the current heavy-weight champion is pretty priceless.In better Stallone news -- he also announced this:

Stallone, 59, has also revealed that he will reprise his role as former Vietnam vet and one-man army John J. Rambo in Rambo IV, which is scheduled to begin production sometime in the spring.

A new Rocky movie and a new Rambo movie in the same year?!?! Could we be so lucky?

Rick Springfield back on 'General Hospital' - after 23 years

All of you hardcore, diehard, Eighties chicks will be happy to know that Rick Springfield will be returning to General Hospital. Really, was / is he that wonderful? I suppose I can see the sex appeal in the Eighties he may have been good looking... No, wait, I really don't think so. His singing career was such a hit. All you swooning ladies, hoping for a chance to touch his arm during his concerts. Jessie's Girl. Yikes! If you listen to the radio it still gets played a few times a day. Man, I don't miss the Eighties at all. <sigh> I don't think I'll ever get it.

Springfield made his first appearance Friday and is set to be in about a dozen episodes of the soap. He'll save the singing for his tour dates in Japan this month and in the U.S. next year.

Oh great! A full on revival! A tour and everything. I wonder if I should book my flight and hotel now for his next appearance. You just never know how fast these things'll sell out.
