Perez Hilton Says They Rocked It at the World Series... You Decide.
Time for a rant. Last night I watched the Phillies and Yankees in the 2010 World Series. Before the game was a musical ceremony. No big deal right? Well, for me when an act is on stage, they should at least look like they showed up.
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys played a great tribute song to New York, but the downer was not that they lip sync'ed like every other band. No. The downer was they had this mock rock band backing them up that looked like it was part of their personal entourage having chance to stand on stage and pretend to be musicians.
I don't know of anyone else noticed or cared, but I did. That jack azz of a azz kisser and attack dog Perez Hilton squawked out his azz today that Jay-Z and Alicia Key's quote and unquote... "rocked it!" Are you kidding me? When ever the camera rolled across the many band members they looked lost as they didn't mark a cord with their fingers let a long hold their fingers on the fret board. The drummer didn't hold his sticks in any imaginary position over the drum set, didn't make a play on the high-hat, it was hilarious to watch. Let's not leave at the keyboardist, yes the camera rolled an overhead shot of him tapping the same two chopstix strokes.
Yeah Perez Hilton, they rocked it. Let me guess, you like them.
My interpretation of the performance was what everyone else should have noticed if they were not busy being lazy American's snacking on dip. This is why America is made fun of folks. We have idiots worshiping laziness.

Avatar Story Revealed - Accusers Come Out Of The Woodwork
James Cameron's much hyped Avatar has it's complete plot-line revealed in the new International trailer. With it come questions of stealing concepts and story-lines once again for the director. Many may recall Cameron's Terminator being a story once told by Harlan Ellison (renowned science fiction writer) where Ellison sued Cameron and eventually was compensated and credited.
With Avatar many avid sci-fi readers are complaining that Cameron has once again lifted his epic film ideas from many other stories. Some are cute references to films like Fern Gully due to the lush landscape of an innocent place being over run by civilization. Others are pointing fingers directly at stories such as My Name Is Joe, a sci-fi book written in the 1950's by Poul Anderson. Watching the trailer above will give you a slight understanding.
What people are finding similar is that in both stories an injured man that has lost use of his extremities finds he can be made whole again on another planet. However the plot and stories are vastly different. For now enjoy the nay-sayers picking on Cameron.
Remember what Picasso said, "Good artist copy, great artist steal."

Swift took Lautner out to dinner with her mom Andrea Swift on Monday night, sparking rumours their relationship is getting serious.“Are we an item? I don’t know," said Swift. "He’s an amazing guy and we’re really close. And, yep, were in a movie together and I’m really excited about seeing it.”
The 19-year-old singer can't wait to see herself looking loved-up with Lautner on the big screen. She has asked movie bosses to let them watch the an advanced version of the film in private.
She explained to CMT Radio host Cody Alan: "I haven't seen ‘Valentine's Day’ at all. So hopefully we'll get to do a private screening because we both wanna see it so bad 'cause our scene was so much fun to do."
The songstress recently admitted she was ready to start dating again following her split from Joe Jonas last October.
Taylor and Taylor were spotted together at a Los Angeles Kings hockey game last weekend.
"I love him, he's so cute," she recently admitted.
‘Valentine’s Day’ is due for release next year.
Katrina - Ranbir’s good chemistry on TV
The promotional stunts for Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani have kick-started and soon the ghazab jodi of Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor will be gracing your TV screens.
Not only that, the hot couple will also walk the ramp together to promote the film at the FDCI Fashion Week 2009. Designer Rohit Bal has roped in them to mark the show’s grand finale and they will be the ‘ultimate’ showstoppers.
Recently, the duo have shot for a TV show and as per reports, the awesome twosome also share an amazing chemistry off screen. Ranbir was his usual coy self, flirting in front of the camera, while demure Kat continued giggling as the blush on her cheeks was obvious.
What came as a real shock though was Kat’s witty side as when asked who will look best opposite Ranbir, she took her own sweet time and instead of saying Deepika Padukone, she said Vidya Balan.
Touché Ms. Kaif.
John Abraham’s bolt from the blue
Blue director Anthony D'Souza has been hit by a bolt from the blue.
Even before the release of his directorial debut, D’Souza had been speaking about doing his second film with John Abraham. The director was so vocal about his desire to work with John that he all but confirmed the star’s presence in not just one but two of his forthcoming films - ‘Aerial’ and ‘Blue 2’.
Meanwhile, John is amused that D’Souza is chalking out plans of doing films with him without even having any discussions.
While D’Souza must have thought that after the good run of ‘Blue’, John would be game to work with him, the actor has now dashed the director’s big claims by diplomatically stating that he’s not signed any film with him.
“I have immense respect for Anthony...however, I am neither doing any film titled Aerial nor any underwater film. I am also not doing Blue 2,” John is quoted as saying by a tabloid.
Meanwhile, the buzz is that Anthony wants to reprise the cast of ‘Blue’ in the film’s sequel as well.
Salman Khan sells 'London Dreams' tickets
Thousands of fans lined up to get the advance booking of Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s film London Dreams at a multiplex in Delhi when they came to know that the man selling the tickets is none other than Salman Khan, the leading star of the film.
For the film, set to release this Friday, Salman participated in a unique promotional campaign, when he took the seat on the ticket-selling counter at a multiplex in Daryaganj, Old Delhi.
Though the film’s other star Ajay Devgan was missing, Salman handled the promotional event all by himself. As fans jostled in the queue and many of them did not leave the ticket window until Salman shook hands with them, the superstar obliged his admirers with his distinct charm and wit.
Some fans even asked for the star’s autograph while buying the tickets; other clicked his snap on their cellphones.
The fan frenzy got out of hand at times and the police had to discipline the crowd now and then. But Salman was enjoying it all. He always responded when fans spoke to him and told them to go and watch the film with their family.
‘London Dreams’, set for release this Friday, has Salman playing a talented musician from Punjab. The movie is a story of two friends who drift apart because one of them gets fame and the other does not. Asin plays the duo’s common love interest.

Bipasha Basu is having sleepless nights nowadays
Bollywood’s beautiful Bong-shell Bipasha Basu is having sleepless nights nowadays.
The actress has been working up whole nights lately, tirelessly facing the camera for film shoots. So, when does she sleep, you ask? The sultry babe has been catching up sleep during the days.
Already on a high after the success of her last release All The Best, Bipasha has been keeping her nose to the grindstone because her schedule is crammed with different professional commitments. Yet, despite catching sleep in mere winks, Bipasha still continues to look a million dollars.
Meanwhile, Bipasha’s first Bengali-starrer ‘Shob Charitra Kalponik’ (also titled ‘Afterword’) was screened at the ongoing Osian Cinefan Film Festival in Delhi on Sunday. A lot of people turned up to see the film by director Rituparno Ghosh and there was an ovation, not standing though, at the end of the screening.
Guess Bips has all the reasons to be happy these days.

Shilpa Shetty has begun plans for her wedding
After exchanging the engagement ring with her London-based businessman boyfriend Raj Kundra in Mumbai on Saturday, actress Shilpa Shetty has already begun plans for her wedding.
The 34-year-old beauty, who catapulted to international fame after winning the ‘Big Brother’ show in UK, is learnt to have roped in fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani to design her wedding trousseau.

Tarun admits he’s been asked by Shilpa to design her wedding dress, but he refuses to reveal what he plans to create for the actress.
“I can't talk about the details of the outfits but I can tell you that she will look absolutely stunning,” Tahiliani told a news agency on the sidelines of his show at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) on Saturday.
When asked if he would design Shilpa’s dresses for the mehendi and sangeeth ceremonies as well, Tarun gave a terse reply.
“I'll design everything!” he said without elaborating.
Rumours are abuzz that Shilpa and Raj might tie the knot either by the end of this year or early next year.

More Star Wars? Oh Yeah!
Bad prequels or not, Star Wars may be back for more! And why shouldn't it? People want it and the Star Wars Universe has lots to offer in terms of great story lines.
Right now it's just a rumor but word is that George Lucas may in fact be heading back to the trilogy concept again. For those of you that think Lucas involvement means he'll screw it up, think again. He's only planning to produce while notable directors handle the hands on duties. Those same rumor insiders claim the likes of Steven Spielberg or Coppola are front-runners. When Lucasfilm was contacted for confirmation, all this was denied.
If it happens, where dos it go? Who would play Luke as he marries Mara Jade? Do you leave him and Han and Leah out? Or does the Star Wars universe step way back to the Knights of the Old Republic?

John Travolta's Extortion Case Ends in Mistrial
The month-long extortion case revolving around the death of John Travolta's son Jett in the Bahamas earlier this year has ended in a mistrial. The two people accused of trying to extort about 25 million dollars from the actor will face a new trial "in the interest of justice," according to Senior Justice Anita Allen. The judge, who was overseeing he case, said she was forced to make the decision after a speech broadcast on TV and radio hinted the jury would acquit one of the defendants. She told the court: "We are concerned in the interest of justice that there has been a communication from the jury room. The dilemma that we face is great. I am erring on the side of caution. Justice must be transparent."Naturally, Travolta is upset by this news and released this statement: "We are disappointed to hear about the alleged juror misconduct since we know that the Bahamian government, the court, the other jurors and John Travolta as the victim want to have this matter adjudicated through the judicial system. Mr. Travolta has and will continue to cooperate with the Bahamian authorities in the prosecution of the defendants for extortion."
Paramedic Tarino Lightbourne, one member of the medical team who treated Jett before he died, and his co-accused, former Senator Pleasant Bridgewater, allegedly threatened to sell a story claiming the Travolta's "intentionally killed" their son. They demanded money in exchange for keeping their mouths shut, somewhere in the ballpark of $25 million. The jury was still deliberating when politicial Picewell Forbes told an audience at a Progressive Liberal Party convention that Bridgewater was "a free woman." Immediately after, his party's deputy chairman-elect, Alex Storr, apologized and announced that the information was incorrect and that no verdict had yet been issued. The judge still felt she had to dismiss the jurors and ordered a new trial, but no date for the retrial has been set as of now.
Philles Rout Dodgers to Advance to World Series!
The Phillies have ousted the LA Dodgers for the second year in a row in the National League Championship Series making the Phillies the first team to secure a spot in the 2009 World Series.
The Phillies bested Colorado in the best of 5 divisional series 3 games to 1. In this National League Championship Series they finished off Los Angles for the second year in a row winning the best of 7 series 4 games to 1 taking one game in LA out of two and upon returning home to Philly won 3 in a row.
The Phillies now await the American League Champions. It will either be the New York Yankees or the Los Angeles Angels. That series is currently being led by the Yankees holding a 3 games to 1 lead and may be determined on Thursday should New York finish off the Angels in game five.
The Phillies could make a bit of history if they repeat as World Series Champions as the last National League Team to win the Pennant two consecutive years was the Cincinnati Reds, whom held the ominous title, "The Big Red Machine" whom the Phillies have been drawing comparisons to due to their strong top to bottom power line-up.

The two ladyloves of Hrithik Roshan
An unusual and painfully sad love story is what we can expect from director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film Guzaarish, starring Hrithik Roshan as a wheelchair bound paraplegic patient and Aishwarya Rai as his nurse.
The lesser-known fact is that there is another love interest of Hrithik in the film. Without any hoo-ha, Bhansali has signed up Bengali model Monikangana Dutta to essay the character of Hrithik’s former lover.
Interestingly, Aishwarya’s character in the film is a married woman. Newcomer Aditya Roy Kapoor plays her husband.
So even though she is married, Ash gets attracted to the poetically philosophical paraplegic, played by Hrithik, who wants to put an end to his misery by ending his life. The film deals with the issue of euthanasia from a humane perspective.
Bhansali admits to have signed Monikangana for a “pivotal role” in the film. However, the length of her role won’t be very long.
Hero For Hire: Josh Rutner
Seriously... someone hire this man. Josh Rutner worked at Wal-Mart as a loss prevention associate up until the time he stopped a knife wielding shop-lifter at work. Due to Wal-Mart's policy, Josh not only lost his job but is ineligible for re-hire. Ever. Why? Because Josh pursued the shoplifter and helped disarm the knife-wielding thief.
Now I'm not a Wal-Mart basher and we should all respect rules, but there is also a rule known as "to every rule there is an exception". For Wal-Mart to fire this man for doing the right thing is astonishing. It set's a bad example for everyone in this country.
You can't help but think, "What is the world coming to?" And as many times as we have heard that cliche' in this case it hits you with a deafening blow. Wow... how can we all live in a world where watching a man steal from others and not stop him be the right thing to do? This can't be the America we want to be proud of. Josh Rutner is the America we can be proud of.
How was Josh rewarded for his hard work which due to the very nature of his job came at risk of life and limb? Wal-Mart fired Josh when he returned to work the following day.
This man (Josh Rutner) turned in his keys, badge and security codes without incident, left Wal-Mart and all he had to show for his heroism and common decency is that he retains his integrity.
We need to reward this man. Someone needs to hire him. He's someone in this country we can be proud of. In a world of celebrities that are looked to as role models and fail miserably, I say we hail this man, lift him up as an example and give him a great job. He deserves something far better than what he had at Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart of course declined to comment. Meanwhile Rutner will serve as states witness against the shoplifter by submitting to a deposition.
Wal-Mart should be ashamed. Their policy is broken and needs fixing. Wal-Mart can learn a thing or two about decency from Josh Rutner. May someone hire him and fast. For him to remain unemployed one day for his decency is a travesty in this country.

Kanye West Is Not Dead
Kanye West is, in fact, alive. Ordinarily this wouldn't be news-worthy (even for the guy who can't seem to keep himself out of the news), but the blogosphere has been going crazy during the past 24 hours after someone started a rumor on Twitter that Kanye died in a car crash. The story was even the top Google search this morning. It didn't help the situation that just days ago Kanye posted a bizarre Spike Jonze-directed video in which he stabs himself at the end (the video has since been removed).However, it turns out that Kanye is just the latest victim of some crazy internet hoax and is alive and well. His girlfriend, Amber Rose, put the rumors to rest when she posted on her Twiter:
"This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much.
Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human
and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn't want someone to say that about u."

Deepika Padukone bagged a Yash Raj film!
Deepika Padukone, A-list starlet and the most graceful actress of Indian cinema, has bagged a Yash Raj film, the title of which is yet to be announced. Deepika will be paired with co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh and is all set to play an extremely challenging role in the love story to be set on the gritty streets of Mumbai. The film is scheduled to release in 2010 and promises to portray Deepika in a never seen before role. The film will be directed by National award-winning director Pradeep Sarkar (of Parineeta fame).
A very challenging film for both actors, Yash Raj’s Aditya Chopra was so impressed by Deepika’s performance in the Box Office smash hit Love Aaj Kal that he was convinced she could pull off the tough role and immediately offered her the film.
Deepika made her acting debut with top director and choreographer Farah Khan in Om Shanti Om. In a short span of time she has proved her mettle beyond her beauty, in film roles directed by the award-winning Imtiaz Ali and Farhan Akhtar among others.
Katrina Kaif didn’t appreciate her beau Salman Khan’s painting
It’s not necessary that a girl has to like everything her boyfriend does. So, Katrina Kaif was quite honest when she didn’t appreciate her beau Salman Khan’s painting on her dress.
Yes, she speaks her mind and that’s what Salman likes about her. While everyone was happy and content seeing the success of ‘Being Human’ show at the recently held HDIL couture week, Katrina wasn’t so glad with the dress she donned for the show; the outfit’s main attraction was Salman’s painting.
Khan himself is quoted as saying, “Honestly, she didn’t appreciate it much. Nevertheless, she enjoyed being a part of the show.”
In terms of fashion, Katrina’s black gown, by designers Shane and Falguni, was a bit drab but the reason was not Sallu’s painting but the awful butterfly-shaped neck line.
So does that mean he will not continue painting? Well, Salman loves to do what he is fond of and painting is his passion, like acting. “I love painting and that’s why I do it,” he is quoted by a daily.
Salman knows that an honest opinion helps one to perfect the skills and his girl knows exactly how to do it.
Salman did not mention anything about Katrina!
Salman Khan says it like it is. No twisting of words, no pretty euphemisms.
Recently, the moody Khan created a history of sorts by roping in a host of Bollywood stars - including Aamir Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Katrina Kaif to walk the ramp for his charity show ‘Being Human’ at HDIL India Couture Week.
So, after the show when the mediapersons cornered Salman and asked him who he thought was the best on the catwalk, the star gave a straightforward reply. He praised everyone from Aamir to Sanjay, but did not mention anything about Katrina.
When a journo prompted him for a response on Katrina’s ramp walk, Salman said: “Katrina has always been good on the ramp, the problem with her was her acting and not walking the ramp.”
Diplomacy definitely isn’t in Salman’s genes.

"Addams Family" Theme Song Writer Dies
Vic Mizzy, the Brooklyn-born writer of the catchy theme songs to The Addams Family and Green Acres, passed away in Los Angeles Saturday night at the age of 93. The songwriter also had dozens of #1 pop and novelty hits, and his songs were performed by artists including Dean Martin, Doris Day, Perry Como, Billie Holiday and the Andrews Sisters.Mizzy liked to joke about the TV themes that made him famous, saying: "If people only remembered me for the themes to The Addams Family and Green Acres, I wouldn't care. Two snaps got me a Bel Air mansion." Mizzy was a savvy businessman who held on to the publishing copyrights to his songs - including those famous theme songs.
Mizzy started his career at age 14, after learning how to play music from his family's player piano, when he won a pair of radio contests and toured the vaudeville circuit on the east coast. He wrote songs for some of the biggest stars in show business through the '40s and '50s, and NBC head of programming had Mizzy write scores for several dramatic TV shows after the war. He was still involved in the music business later in life, when in 2004, he released an album of his best-known compositions in Songs for the Jogging Crowd, and started his own record label. He also contributed a theme song for Spiderman 2, which ended up on the DVD version of the movie.
PCM Movie Review: Paranormal Activity
It's October, so you know what that means: it's horror film season! And this year, we actually got something good out of it, despite a string of cheap gore-fests that have become so popular in recent years (cough the Saw franchise cough). You've probably been hearing a lot about Paranormal Activity, that low-budget film that looks like it's on its way to out-do The Blair Witch Project, and with good reason: it's terrifying.Paranormal Activity is a documentary-style film revolving around a couple, Micah and Katie, who have been experiencing weird occurrences in their home, so Micah decides to invest in a video camera and see if he can catch any of it on film. He leaves the camera recording in their bedroom while they sleep, as most of the activity seems to take place at night, which at first catches seemingly minor things such as strange sounds and a door moving inexplicably. The couple hire a psychic to come to their home and evaluate the situation, and Katie reveals that she has had similar experiences with the paranormal since she was a child, causing the psychic to suspect that it is not the house that is haunted, but Katie. Tension begins to build between Micah and Katie as they begin to disagree about how the situation should be handled, causing the activity in their home to become stronger and more frequent - even affecting Katie herself. This all leads up to a fairly predictable but still climactic ending that will make you jump.
This film might not sound that scary, especially to those skeptical of the paranormal, but Paranormal Activity taps into very real fears such as the vulnerability of being asleep and a force that is both invisible and uncontrollable. The film's subtlety and smart use of suspense also strengthen it and make it all the more chilling. Just be warned: you might start thinking a little more about those weird sounds your house makes late at night.
