‘Hatchet’ Job

‘Hatchet’ Job
Last night my friend Darion and I made our way out to Grauman’s Egyptian Theater for the Hollywood premiere of the uberfun slasher flick Hatchet II.

Last night my friend Darion and I made our way out to Grauman’s Egyptian Theater for the Hollywood premiere of the uberfun slasher flick Hatchet II. After the original film, Hatchet, got into a bit of trouble with the MPAA over its movie rating, director/writer Adam Green decided to tell the MPAA to eff off and has decided to release Hatchet II without a rating … making it the first film to be in wide release without an MPAA rating in about 25 years. As a fan of silly fun horror, I was really excited to be among the first folks to see Hatchet II:


Citizen Kane it is not … but what Hatchet II is is a bloody funfest of classic horror movie madness. The Hatchet films, which feature new horror monster star Victor Crowley, are a fun nod to the slasher flicks of the 70s and 80s and are just a good ol’ fashioned fun time at the movies. While the plot is pretty text book, the situations are kinda funny and the death scenes are over-the-top ridiculous. Most of the time, all you see is gallons of fake blood spilling onto walls, trees or the ground. Yes, there are inventive and painfully gross looking deaths but Hatchet II is more fun than disgusting. I’m telling you, I’ve learned new ways I do NOT want to die … which include belt sanders, extra long chainsaws and, of course, hatchets. This movie may not be for everyone but if you’re looking for a fun movie to see this Halloween … go see Hatchet II. If this movie does well, it could signal the end of the influence of the shadowy and totally unnecessary MPAA ratings board here in the US. Darion and I had a great time seeing this movie … so much so, we plan on paying to see it again just to make the point.

At last night’s premiere, we got to meet the film’s star Danielle Harris (who is something of a young Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis). After the jump, check out some of the fun photos we snapped last night …


Much like Jamie Lee Curtis did in her horror films of the early 80s, Danielle Harris is making a name for herself in the new horror films of today (coincidentally, Danielle starred in the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween … and, of course, JLC starred in the original John Carpenter version). She was super sweet and it was very nice meeting her and director Adam Green last night.

We had a blast … ’twas a fun night out in Hollywood.

Tonight … I’m doing nothing. I have a lot of reading to get thru and I really want to watch the Swedish film Let The Right One In so … I’m gonna stay holed up here at home. Not a bad way to spend a Hump Day ;)

We're not surprised. We don't think there is any low that Chris Brown isn't willing to stoop to, whether it be beating down or stealing a beat!

Yesterday, Calvin Harris was dumbfounded after he caught a listen to Brown's newest single Yeah 3x. Tweeting that he "chocked on my cornflakes", Calvin insisted that Chris stole his beat from his #1 single, I'm Not Alone.

Pretty heavy accusation. Fortunately, there is proof!

Check out the comparison video above and give it a good listen. You can hear exactly where Calvin is coming from! Effing biter! Come up with your own shiz, Beat-Her-Down!

Do U think they sound similar or not at all?

According to In Touch, Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest are both battling to become the top diva of American Idol.

An insiders said:

“Ryan was the one who first suggested Jennifer, but now he’s starting to regret it, because she’s acting like she’s a much bigger star than he is. Ryan knows the diva behavior is likely to get worse before it gets better. Producers are trying to get them to make peace, but their egos are both pretty big.”

The two have been battling over everything from their dressing rooms to receiving top billing.

Yikes! Maybe they'll both go down with the ship!

This is as frustrating as it is disappointing!

Despite pretty much everyone on the planet wishing he would cut out all of the bullshiz acting and just make a new album, Justin Timberlake revealed that he has no plans as of now to produce any more tunes!

He explains, or something:

"…Does a painter make a painting because he has to make it by December 21st? No, he doesn’t. It happens when it pours out of him. That’s how music is for me. I never stop making music. I don’t know what else to tell you, except that I just don’t know [in] what capacity I want to be involved anymore. All I’m saying is, in very simple terms, I’ll know when I know. And until I know, I don’t know."

What the fuck does that even mean?!

UGH. Can't someone just put the rest of us out of our misery and tell him he's a shiteous actor, so he can get his head out of his ass and go back into the studio?

This is getting a little ridiculous!

Thoughts?? Do U want a new Timerpussy record??

On Tuesday we learned that the very troubled Lindsay Lohan had checked herself into a live-in rehab center “outside of LA” and today we get clarification from TMZ that L. Lo has checked herself in to the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA. Considering that the Betty Ford Center is among the preeminent rehab facilities in the country, famous for their success rate, this new information bodes very well for Lindsay‘s possible recovery:

TMZ has learned … Lindsay Lohan is undergoing treatment at the famous Betty Ford Center, a legendary and respected alcohol and drug rehabilitation clinic in Rancho Mirage, California. Lindsay checked in Monday — and as we previously reported, the plan is for her to stay put in rehab at least until her probation violation hearing on October 22. It’s gonna run Lindsay a pretty penny too — according to their website, 30 days of inpatient care at BF runs $26,000. Betty Ford has treated scores of celebs — a short list of former patients includes, Keith Urban, Chevy Chase, Elizabeth Taylor, Gary Busey, Johnny Cash, Kelsey Grammer, David Hasselhoff, Mickey Mantle, Liza Minnelli, Ozzy Osbourne, and Anna Nicole Smith.

On the plus side, Lindsay‘s decision to seek treatment at Betty Ford seems like a positive move forward toward sobriety. She could’ve checked herself into the very posh Promises Rehab Center in Malibu, CA but instead decided to go out of sight and into a proven rehab program. BUT, as with any rehab treatment — no matter how good it is — if Lindsay isn’t serious about her sobriety, she won’t get anything from the program. Again … let’s keep a hopeful thought that L. Lo is really trying to clean up and save her own life. It doesn’t matter why she checked herself in to rehab, it’s just very important that she made the first step.

Last night Fox aired the AMAZING Britney Spears Episode of Glee titled Britney/Brittany and managed to set a new series ratings record. Britney/Brittany managed to pull in more than 13 million viewers and became the show’s highest rated episode ever!

ABC’s “No Ordinary Family” got off to an impressively strong start Tuesday night while Fox’s “Glee” rose in the ratings to a series high thanks to its eagerly anticipated tribute to Britney Spears. “Glee” drew 13.3 million viewers and a 5.8 preliminary adults 18-49 rating — dominating the night, rising 4% from its mammoth premiere last week and scoring the pop-drama’s biggest rating ever (yes, higher than the show’s Madonna-themed episode) … Here’s interesting factoid about “Glee” from the Fox ratings department: “This is the first time in 17 years that the highest-rated entertainment program of premiere week grew in Week 2 among adults 18-49 and total viewers (since Fall ’93, ‘Seinfeld’)” … Fox won the night.

Folks … that is the power of a Living Legend. Congrats all around. As those among the 13.3 million of you who watched Glee last night already know, our dear Britney Spears made 3 different cameos thruout the episode:


She appeared in the hallucinated performances of her hit songs Me Against the Music, Baby One More Time and Stronger. After the jump, check out video of Britney‘s brief but memorable cameos on Glee last night …




Bow down to the Queen, y’all. Personally, I loved her cameo in Baby One More Time the most even tho she had more lines in the Stronger cameo … but overall, I loved the ep entirely. Yes, there were some cheesy bits but it was a fun ep that paid homage to Britney is a very cool, very fun way. My guess is that Britney will have a much larger role the next time she appears in Glee … and that ep is likely to score even higher ratings than last night’s ep did. What did y’all think? Did yo love it as much as I did? How amazing was it to see Britney honored in such a fun way? LOVED IT ALL!!!

PS: Wanna watch the whole Britney/Brittany ep again? Well, you can watch it in its entirety right here:


Enjoy!!

In the wake of so many news reports of GLBT youth committing suicide due to bullying, oppression or abuse in recent weeks, musician Dave Navarro has penned an open letter to the GLBT community (with a focus on the younger members of that community) in an effort to try and lend his support. Read on for the full text of Dave‘s very touching and very important message:

Ok everybody, here is the deal. I cannot imagine what it’s like growing up in a close minded environment and being gay, bi or tans-gender. I don’t think any of us who aren’t can possibly imagine. The strength and character it must take to stay true to yourself in such an unforgiving microcosm are qualities that a major portion of the world lacks… Sad, but true. It’s just how it is at the moment. However, it’s that very strength and character that gives the world hope for a new way of thinking and acceptance in the future and when one of our children gives in and gives up, it is not only a tragedy but a victory for those who fear diversity. DO NOT LET THEM WIN! I know how overwhelming the feelings can get and how small the reality can feel, but the bottom line is that this is but a drop in the bucket in terms of the magnitude of life. You can get through this. High school is full of plenty of bullies and fear based hate, as is the world. With any group of people comes a percentage of people who just don’t get it and probably will never get it. That’s OK. We all deal with this to an extent. The truth is that in High School, you are kind of stuck in the group you are a part of until graduation, but trust me… You can pick and choose who you associate with and there are plenty of like-minded people in the world that are understanding, accepting and loving. Sometimes, we just have to stick it out to meet them. The hard cold reality is that once you have chosen suicide, that’s it. No going back. Sure, there is a public outcry and MAYBE the bullies feel remorse for a while, but it all dies down, life goes on, the bullies let the memory fade and get on with their lives. They learn to laugh, love, reach their goals and in many cases go on to have a full and productive life. Who loses? You do! Your family! Your friends! Other teens who need support in this area! Oh yeah… We all Lose! Now the world has one less mind that is open and different and unique and sensitive. Instead, we inherit the bullies, the fear, the set back… Our world has one less soul to help it evolve with a new level of clarity. Personally, I have seen a lot of darkness and tragedy that has felt insurmountable. The murder of my mother, my battle with drug addiction, the loss of friends and family. Utter depression and despair. Of course the thought of suicide has crossed my mind a time or two. Let me share this. THANK GOD I never took that action. The friends I have made, the experiences I have had, the laughter I have shared would have all been missed. In hindsight, some of my darkest moments now seem so small and insignificant that I am amazed I gave them so much power at the time. I am even able to laugh about it now. When I think back to the times I have considered ending it all I end up saying to myself, “What was I thinking?” To those of you contemplating such a course, please do us a favor. Seek counseling first. Find a network of people who have gone through what you are going through. Help others in even more turmoil than you. I am certain that you can find peace. As you know, our society and political climate is SO divided right now. We need your voice. The world at large needs your sheer existence in order to come to terms with itself and where we are going as a planet and species.

Dave wrote this letter and posted it on his official website HERE in the hopes that it would get picked up and shared around the world. It is my sincere hope that his words reach the hearts and minds of those who need to hear the support most. It is heartbreakingly tragic that young people feel the need to end their lives because of the torment they face from cowards and ignorant monsters (like, for example, 50 Cent who advocates gay men to kill themselves on his Twitter profile). I hope this open letter gets passed along from person to person as far and wide as possible. Thank you Dave for taking the time to share your words of support. Here’s hoping that those in need will find the strength required to endure and, most importantly, live on.

Last week we got to see some very cool, very interesting new photos of Chris Evans on the UK set of his new film Captain America: The First Avenger and today we get to check out another new photo from the set. Apparently, filming production has moved to Liverpool, England … and it now involves the use of a very cool-looking submarine ship:

he First Avenger: Captain America, directed by Joe Johnston, is due for release in the UK in July 2011. Captain America was first thought up to help encourage patriotic feeling during World War II. The big-budget film will tell the origin of Captain America, one of Marvel’s most iconic superhero comic book characters. The story will follow a young soldier called Steve Rogers, who volunteers to undergo a series of experiments and becomes Captain America. Since it was first released, Marvel has sold more than 200 million copies of Captain America magazine in 75 countries.

I love how technology and vehicles used in comic book movies set in the past have a future-retro look. This submarine is clearly meant to look “old” but it looks somehow futuristic. The same can be said about how Gotham City looks in the Batman films. The Art Deco meets the Future look seems to be a very cool signature of big screen adaptations of comic books. This toy looks very cool, I can’t wait to see it in action.

Singer Bruno Mars Arrested for Alleged Cocaine Possession

Singer Bruno Mars Arrested for Alleged Cocaine Possession

R&B breakout star Bruno Mars -- known for his hit songs "Nothin’ on You" and "Billionaire" -- was arrested early Sunday morning in Las Vegas for allegedly being in possession of cocaine.

According to the arrest report, Bruno, whose legal name is Peter Hernandez, was taken in by law enforcement around 1:50 a.m. after a bathroom attendant at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino told a security officer that there was a gentleman in the restroom who he thought was doing drugs. The attendant explained to the security officer that he could see a "male with a striped red shirt with a baggy of white powder substance." Security than confiscated the substance that was discovered to be cocaine, and Bruno was placed in a holding cell before being taking in by LVPD.

The report also claims that when approached by the police officer, Bruno "admitted he did a foolish thing and has never used drugs before." The case against Bruno is under review and charges have not yet been filed. At the time he was released from custody, he was given a court return date of November 18, 2010.
