John McCain's VP choice is Sarah Plain.. I mean Palin. She is 44 and governor of Alaska. She has two sons and three daughters, the eldest at 18 will be deployed to Iraq sometime in September. Her youngest has Down Syndrome.
Many guys have liked Keith's body but his brain is fried. He definitely is the Rami of this season. Rami was of last season. But Rami made it to the last episode though, Keith was kicked off Wednesday. The reason I post this now is to have enough assessment and watching the episode twice. Rami and Keith were both one-trick ponies: Rami drapped and Keith did swatches. Both were stuck up and stubborn. But Keith broke down due to the pressure. He got some criticism from Micheal Kors ("It looks like a sad chicken") and became a big baby. He is supposedly from a small town and this was his only 'chance.'
He won the Lipstick Jungle challenge but didn't succeed in the Drag Queen challenge because he had no cohesive thought. He was kicked off this challenge (making something creative out of car interior parts) because it was badly crafted, not innovative or cohesive. He thought his style was 'too out there' and toned down. He tried making a good pattern but failed at it---his model sat and broke the skirt... but if he made it better than he wouldn't be in the jam. In the end, Kohrs was right (a little bit of credit) to say Keith was just blaming his model and him the critic. Keith cried like a baby and said he didn't want to cry in front of the others. I think he can't take criticism well, I used to be that way so I understand that. But he still has a long way from putting up with criticism.
In the movie "Juno," there is a lab partner that looks and acts a lot like Jon Heder. People also think he looks like 'Butters' from "Even Stevens." He is a former child actor, but Steven Christopher Parker is not any of those. He has also been on "ER" and two current commercials---Dibs (below) and a Digiorno commercial where he pretends to be a pizza guy to go into a rap party. Writer Diablo Cody thinks he might went to the same acting school.
Of course these are repeated over and over again. In the audience was Scott Bakula (I was happy to see him), Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Alonzo Bodden, and Lori Loughlin. Jodie was a good sport, she was roasted a bit, Lori was no roasted at all. Dave gave a lame joke during the break, so we know why he didn't roast him. But Jon Lovitis and Norm Mcdonald bombed. Gilbert Godfried was awesome! The show was really funny, dark and dirty. At the level of the Pam Anderson one, better than the Flavor Flav one. Now that these pathetic comic roasters that have gone around and around (Greg Giraldo Jeff Ross, and company), they even reference the old roasts and Lisa Lampenelli. I changed the channel during the commercials and Adult Swim was showing an episode of Family Guy where they wewre making fun of Bob Saget. They got Chris Hardwick from MTV's Singled Out, he interviews Bob and the gang on the Comedy Central website. Chris is mostly doing voices now for Nick's "Back at the Barnyard" and "The Batman." Hmm, I might cover Chris on my Geek blog....
For those who don't know this new Star Wars animated movie coming out was just an afterthought by George Lucas, it was supposed to be a TV Movie but Lucas liked it so much, he put it in the theaters. It is to start a TV series. But most fans and outside audience don't really care, who cares about what happened between the 2nd movie and the 3rd? Especially since we already had the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars animated series. The one unique thing about this movie is Asajj Ventress, one of the first star Wars villainesses. She first premiered in the Tartakovsky cartoon. She was originally to be the main villain but then Count Dooku was created. Her original name was Juno Eclipse but they didn't find that villainous enough.
In a TV Guide article about the movie, they mostly talked by Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's 'Padawan' but the funny thing is that she only got a small picture in the articles. She gets a small corner in the movie poster as well. The one true strong heronie was Princess Leia, while all the other women have been :::yawn::: So yeah, nice try, Lucas, we're bored.
All Poterphiles have been outraged in the controversial casting of a white girl to play the black Lavender Brown for the movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, who was previously played by a black actress in the second movie (Chamber of Secrets). Jessie Cave has been cast as Lavender Brown. I think one character's ethnicity should remain intact from book to film to remain true to the character, why cancel out diversity? Now if she is a good actress I can understand, but it barely matters I believe in this case.
After Michael Phelps won his eight gold medal, a Visa commercial celebrated him. What would they have aired if he didn't win? Oh, well, at least you got 7?
Nils Olav, a 3-foot tall penguin at Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland and mascot for the elite Norwegian King's Guard, was knighted Friday with all the pomp and circumstance befitting royalty. Nils then was knighted by British Maj. Gen. Euan Loudon on behalf of Norway's King Harald V. Being pushed along by a trainer, he 'inspected' the troops and shyed away from the sword.
I want to know what constitutes as controversy. I know controversy is a dispute between people but I always thought controversy was a dispute over something people thought as bad. What I mean is that I related controversy with sin or something people related with sin, perversion or evil. The dictionary says, "Controversy is disagreement, typically when prolonged, public, and heated." Wikipedia says "Controversy occurs when parties actively disagree, argue about, or debate, a matter of opinion. Controversies can range in size from private disputes between two individuals to large-scale disagreements between societies." But now I see the word Controversy be thrown around over simple things like Transformers or Care Bears over what fans don't like. I think the word Controversy is becoming more open to more other disputes or grievances.
This movie has the most laziest name, I thought a man came up with it. It just sounds awkward. The announcer in the commercial says, "Come and meet the women." And did they get every actress over 40?! (Meg Ryan, Bette Midler, Debra Miller, Annette Bening, Candince Bergen, Cloris Leachman, Debi Mazar, and the list goes on and on) Is this Sex and the City on Menopause? Most of the actresses have not got any work in years (Like Jada Pinkett Smith), it is like a star free for all. "Hey, want to be in this movie?" Sure! This movie reminds me of The First Wives' Club and that sucked. I am surprised Goldie Hawn is not in this movie. And Debra Messing as the frizzy-haired flake? What a stretch! I think it is positive to have movies with women over 40 but this looks like squeezing them all at once and it simple drek. (Sample Quote: "I met a guy and I think I will give him my real number.")
In just a few weeks in the beginning of this month, my birthday month no less, two legends surprisingly pass away. Bernie Mac died at age 50 complications of pneumonia unrelated to sarcoidosis he suffered from and had gone in remission in 2005. I respect Bernie Mac very much, I loved his show. Bernie was younger than my father and his daughter is older than me! Issac Hayes, died at 65 yesterday but the reasons are still unknown. He was found dead on the floor by his wife. They were both working on the movie Soul Men. "This isn't like Dark Knight, where Heath Ledger died while editing was in its infancy," Malcolm Lee says. "Most of our editing is done. We'll go back and see if there is anything we can do better. But (Mac) left us with an indelible performance. I think I got him at the top of his game."
TNT has a new series coming along called "Raising the Bar" starring Jane Kaczmerek, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and Gloria Reuben. I like Gosselaar, glad he is getting work, and I like guys with long hair, but if he is head-lining his first series, I think they should have let him go with shorter hair. I guess hair doesn't matter. Writing and acting should be enough. Oh wait, hair does matter on television. Remember "Felicity"?
What an interesting mix, Jane Kaczmerek and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. And Jane as a judge? She has played one before.... on "The Simpsons!" Also in the cast, Whedonite Jaime August Richards ("Angel"), I am glad he is getting work. He has played a lawyer before on "Angel" and "Conviction." Let's see how this goes.
I just saw a commercial for this Straight-to-DVD movie Alice Upside Down, that according to a IMDB review is a dismal movie. It is the first starring role for dancer/actress Alyson Stoner, who has been in Cheaper By The Dozen, "Camp Rock" and the Missy Elliott video "Work It." So the commercial advertises Alyson Stoner and Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical"). Luke Perry plays his dad but he is not advertised. It is probably because the commercials is on ABC Family and that is their audience. Or the real reason is... the movie sucks and they don't want to embarrass Luke Perry any further.
Up next for the 15 year-old is The Alyson Stoner Project written and directed by fellow child actor Kevin Schmidt.
