Does 50 Cent billboard promote violence? Activists want Paramount Pictures to take down billboards promoting the upcoming film “Get Rich or Die Tryin,” claiming the advertisements promote gun violence. The billboards depict Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson holding a gun in his left hand and a microphone in his right. One of the advertisements is next to a preschool.

If it's next to the pre-school of hard knocks, i think that is pretty much OK, and somewhat appropriate.

Charles River Rivers Cuomo

Posted on October 26, 2005 at 10:47 AM

Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo will finally graduate from Harvard in June. He is returning to school for the winter semster and plans to graduate with a degree in English. Also, he is still celibate:

Cuomo revealed further details about his devotion to meditation as well as his vow of celibacy, which he began June 13, 2003. "I decided to try celibacy because I heard it would help the meditation, and I tried meditation because I heard it would help with the music," he said. "So, it all really comes back to the music."

That's OK, I was pretty much celibate in college, too.

The Jackson Family - What Will They Think Of Next?

Posted on October 25, 2005 at 02:34 PM

Apparently, rumors have swirled for years (far, far away from my ears) about Janet Jackson having had a daughter in the 80s and that this daughter was being raised by Jackson sister Rebbie. And apparently, this is indeed the case:

"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight," Young DeBarge said Friday on New York radio station WQHT, known as Hot 97. "They weren't very revealing about what the relationship was about."

"No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced," he said.

He added, "There's no telling what (Janet Jackson) is telling her."

Perhaps the most important detail in this whole sordid, secretive scandal is the following piece of information, buried at the end of the article:

Young DeBarge, 28, said he has recently finished an album.

I have been waiting years for a Young DeBarge album.

There Has Never Been A Better Time To Leave Toledo, Ohio

Posted on October 24, 2005 at 03:20 PM

I, for one, welcome Toledo's new Scientologist overlords. (Sorry, I'm being glib. I just can't believe the people of Toledo would actually welcome Tom and Toledo native Katie Holmes).

Previous Toledo icons:

Hang The Jury

Posted on October 20, 2005 at 10:52 AM

Can you imagine seeing MJ in the jury booth? Shudder.

"Pop star Michael Jackson has received a jury summons at his Neverland ranch in California - four months after he was acquitted on child molestation charges.

But it is likely he will be excused from serving due to the fact that he has lived in Bahrain since the trial.

"All he has to do is show he has legal residency somewhere else and he'll be exempted," said Santa Barbara jury commissioner Gary Blair. "

Not Sticky Enough

Posted on October 20, 2005 at 10:43 AM

"Rapper-turned-TV actor Sticky Fingaz was nabbed yesterday after checking out of a posh Manhattan hotel and leaving a loaded pistol behind, police said.
A housekeeper spotted the 9-mm. semiautomatic while cleaning the room the rapper had just left at the opulent Flatotel on W. 52nd St., where rates start at $290 a night.
The 35-year-old cast member of the FX series, "Over There," whose real name is Kirk Jones, surrendered to police yesterday morning and faces weapons possession charges for the unregistered and unlicensed firearm, cops said.
Jones has been in town a week filming the movie "Karma, Confessions and Holi" with Naomi Campbell."

Shine Your Boots and Vintage Belt Buckle, Soldier!

Posted on October 19, 2005 at 11:25 AM

Might I suggest moving the show from the on-base theatre to the on-base shooting range? Just a thought.

"With another world tour slated to begin November 2 in Des Moines, Iowa, Bon Jovi has hunkered down at New Jersey military base Fort Monmouth to rehearse. Guitarist Richie Sambora told Billboard.com the band hopes to show its appreciation by performing a special military personnel-only show later this week.

"The Army guys were kind enough to give us their big theater they have there, and at the end of the rehearsals, we're going to do a show for all of the (soldiers) and their families," Sambora said."

The Best Rolling Stone Cover Ever

Posted on October 18, 2005 at 11:05 AM

No, not It's All Over Now, but the best cover of Rolling Stone magazine ever, according to a cabal of those ubiquitous "experts."

"An image of a naked John Lennon, taken on the last day of his life, has been named the top US magazine cover of the past 40 years.

The Rolling Stone front cover, taken by Annie Leibovitz and showing Lennon curled around Yoko Ono, was picked by editors, artists and designers.

The magazine was published a month after Lennon's murder in December 1980."

Madonna says she's the disciplinarian with 9-year-old Lourdes and 5-year-old Rocco.

The former material girl told Newsweek that she doesn't let her children watch TV or look at magazines. She says milk and ice cream are also off-limits.

"When Daddy gets home, they get chocolate," Madonna said. "I'm the disciplinarian."

Disciplinarian, dominatrix, whatever.

Good news for American Star Wars fans who love Chewbacca and would love him more if they knew that the actor who plays Chewbacca is becoming an American citizen: Chewbacca, aka British citizen Peter Mayhew, is becoming an American citizen! The walking carpet married a Texan several years ago and has racked up enough year of residency to qualify for U.S. citizenship. He will officially become a citizen at a ceremony on Monday. Following the ceremony, X-Wing fighters will stream fireworks across the sky.

"Lost" has got to be the most arresting, intricately developed, clue-laden, geographically-shaped, supernaturally-tinged one hour drama on ABC since Twin Peaks. It even made the cover of Rolling Stone (oooh)! Naturally, a few sites have sprung up housing all types of review, analysis and conjecture.

The Lost Blog from Filmfodder - Synopses, reviews and a forum.
Lost TV - The "Unofficial" Fansite.
Bullz-Eye blogs - Reviews.
The Official Site - Everything you'd expect.

These sites are perfect for procrastinating. Good luck.

Cracked Is Back(ed)!

Posted on October 5, 2005 at 11:43 AM

With all of the Onions, Daily Shows, SNLs and others running around, it's easy to forget about some of the pioneers, EG Mad Magazine and Cracked Magazine. Cracked went under a few years ago but is back with a new website and, according to the site, a new print version that will be here in 103 days.

The site is funny. Here is one of my favorite parts:

Nic Cage's New Shortie Possibly From Krypton

Posted on October 3, 2005 at 02:02 PM

"Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage is a new father. His wife, Alice Kim Cage, gave birth Monday to a boy, Kal-el Coppola Cage, in New York City, said Cage's Los Angeles-based publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were available. "They are healthy and happy and it's quite lovely," Wolf said by phone from New York.
Cage is a nephew of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola."

So... that means:
Francis Ford Coppola -> The Godfather -> Marlon Brando -> Jor-El -> Kal-El Coppola Cage
