Hollywood actor Dennis Hopper, best known for directing and starring in one of my all-time favorite films, the 1969 cult classic “Easy Rider,” died on Saturday at his home in Venice, California, from complications of prostate cancer. He was 74 years old.

As a child of the 1980′s, this saddens me. RIP Arnold Drummond.

Gary Coleman, the actor and child star of the television comedy “Diff’rent Strokes” has died. He was 42. The death was reported by CBS News, citing the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, where Mr. Coleman had been hospitalized after an injury.

I just saw previews on another dvd. Bad timing considering the recent killer whale killing?

Some say fat, I say looking damn good.

It’s sad, but I’m actually surprised he didn’t die years ago. Drugs are bad. He should have been on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Police are asking for the public’s help in locating actor Andrew Koenig, who had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom “Growing Pains.”

Vancouver police say Koenig was visiting friends in West Vancouver when he went missing. He was last seen on Feb. 14.

A statement released by the police department says Koenig “has recently been despondent and his family and friends are concerned for his well-being.”

Koenig, 41, lives in Venice, Calif., but at one time lived in Vancouver. He is the son of Walter Koenig, who played Chekov on the “Star Trek” television series and movies.

On “Growing Pains” Koenig played Boner, a pal of star Kirk Cameron’s character Mike.

Seriously, WTF, no wonder all the Blockbuster stores are closing. Yes, I realize most people just get movies by mail these days, I do too, but sometimes I feel like watching a movie NOW. Whatever, but I stopped into two of my nearby Blockbuster stores, to see if they a copy of True Romance, because I had some extra time, no Netflix movies, and haven’t watched True Romance in several years. Well, neither of the Blockbuster stores stock it. They have plenty of other older titles, but not True Romance.

I’ll say it again, WTF? This is a Quinton Tarantino movie starring Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, James Gandolfini, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Michael Rappaport, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore, Kevin Corrigan, and Bronson Pinchot (friggin BALKI BARTOKOMOUS from Perfect Strangers) .

Look at that list of stars, and tell me why the hell Blockbuster wouldn’t make a point of keeping that movie in stock, other than Tom Sizemore.

First of all, this guy Russell Brand is really an annoying douchebag…and did he really just say Jay-Z and Beyonce is “the most beautiful couple in the world.” WTF? Sure, Beyonce looks good, albeit she’s an annoying beyatch. Has he seen Jay-Z lately? Speaking of Jay-Z, that new damn song of his they keep playing on commercials, sounds like a rip-off of Jesus Walks.

Did this bastard Russell Brand really just insinuate that our country “lets” people die in the street? Get this f_cker out of our country. Why is it that people feel the need to ridicule the United States these days? We voted for Barack Obama and the whole country was celebratory, did you see the inauguration? But now that some people don’t agree with a policy of his, it’s ok for people to put insult the country again?

WOW, somebody should smack the shit out of Kanye West in his broken jaw, or wire it shut again. Everybody’s already been talking about his douchebaggery, as he took the microphone from Taylor Swift and let everyone know he didn’t think she deserved to win — he thinks Beyonce’s Single Ladies is one of the best videos ever — in reality, it is one of the most annoying videos ever, and easily one of the worst songs ever. Kanye just wants to stay in the spotlight, and he’s gotten moer stupid since that doctor killed his mom.

What is it with Beyonce anyway? It seems like one day she’s singing about “put a ring on it” then something about “independent women” and then something about “pay my bills” or whatever. GIVE ME A BREAK.

This is probably what your kids are growing up watching, people.

PS: The host of the show, Russell Brand is a drug addict transvestite.

However, the Lady Gaga performance was interesting, but it looked like she did a tuck job.

OMG Beyonce looks good, but WHAT THE HELL was that she just did with her neck during that stupid “put a ring on it” song? She seriously looked afflicted with something. I’ve also got to mention the skanky backup dancers she had, you know every woman on that stage thinks they are divas.

At least Kanye didn’t win the Best Male Video award, that one was won by rapper T.I. who couldn’t be there to accept the award because HE IS IN PRISON…LOL. What a fucking trainwreck this show is, and MTV as a whole.

At least Beyonce showed some class when she let Taylor Swift finally give her acceptance speech.

The news is reporting that “The King Of Pop” Michael Jackson is dead at age 50. This is a shocker to me, one I didn’t see coming. However, I’ve wondered before how long Michael Jackson would live, I never really thought he would live to be an old man. Regardless, he was indeed a talented human being, albeit a bit weird. RIP Michael Jackson.

Wow, this is a busy week for celebrity deaths.

RIP Farrah, age 62. Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital.

Unfortunately although she’s in the shower, the scene isn’t revealing, but you get to enjoy her singing. The clip is from the movie Elf, in which she was awesome as always.

LOL. On a sidenote, Oprah just recently broke the news that she was fat again, in case nobody had noticed by looking at her. I suppose she got fat because she eats vegetables? Come on now, you KNOW Oprah ate an entire cow this year, and probably a couple of pigs…but she is still is named “Person Of The Year” by PETA.

Oprah is no joke, and as TVGuide says, she is on her way to total world domination. She seriously wants to rule the world. She wants to tell people who to vote for President, but she obviously doesn’t want the job herself because it doesn’t pay enough money for her billionaire bankroll.

The sad thing is, she would probably win if she ran for election, just because she has so many idiots thinking she is the greatest thing in the world.

Gary Busey vs. a warehouse full of bad guys, including Danny Trejo, and all awesomeness happens. I’m not sure exactly what Gary is doing at :41 seconds into the clip, and I think he says “Butthorn” at one point. That just adds to the greatness that is Gary Busey. This was all of course, before Celebrity Rehab, where he is still being awesome.

I can’t stand Rosie O’Donnell, I had forgot all about her having a variety show on NBC called Rosie Live! this week on Wednesday night, until I saw the headling on TVGuide.com about her saying there would be no more variety shows from her, indicating that the ratings sucked and the show had horrible reviews.

I am very thankful that she will have no more variety shows. It would be nice to never see her dumbass on TV again. I think even Donald Trump once said “She has failed at everything she has done.”

Here is the article text from TVGuide:

Christmas has come early. Just days after her Rosie Live! turned up DOA in the Nielsens (as well as in countless critics and viewers’ notebooks), Rosie O’Donnell has written off her NBC variety show as a one-trick pony.

Ro wrote in her blog, “there will b no more,” responding to one fan’s inquiry as to the possibility of follow-up variety shows in 2009. Alluding to “no ratings” and “bad reviews” as factors in her decision, O’Donnell maintains that the experiment was “still a thrill 4 me.”

Elsewhere in her reader forum, O’Donnell acknowledged that “a live show has risks” and said, “i am happy 2 have had the opportunity.”

Rosie Live! mustered a mere five million viewers in its Thanksgiving Eve broadcast — falling shy of even Knight Rider’s worst performance to date in the time slot.

Here is video of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, with surprise musical guest Rick Astley doing the Rick Roll song.

One thing I’ve determined from this season of Celebrity Rehab, is that Rod Stewart’s son, Sean Stewart, is a little girl. What an overly dramatic pussy he is. On this weeks episode he got involved in some kind of argument between Gary Busey and Jeff Conaway, went on a tantrum yelling at Busey later, and then when Busey went to talk to him and stumbled a little bit, Sean Stewart went telling everyone he was “attacked”…lol.

He told Busey later that if he touched him again he would call police, and that back in the day he handled things differently (insinuating he once kicked peoples asses). Spoiled little rich kid. Like everyone else, he needed an excuse for why he was a drug addict, and says its because his daddy wasn’t around when he was growing up. Come on dude, maybe it sucked not having your dad around all the time, growing up in California mansions and riding around in expensive cars, but you should just admit the real reason you used drugs is because they were fun.

On a positive note, Steven Adler seems like a genuinely cool dude, who had some legit problems in his childhood. Rodney King is also surprisingly chill.

Heckler is a good comedy documentary from Jamie Kennedy, and featuring many of the top comedians and filmmakers giving their opinion on hecklers. Some of the hecklers are even interviewed. The movies covers several topics, obviously hecklers, but also movie critics and online bloggers.

I guess I seem to fit into the “critics” or “online blogger” categories, as I am critical of things I hate…but do comedians really have any room to talk about critics? Most of them have made a career out of “making fun” or certain topics or people. Sure, hecklers, in many cases, deserve to be beaten over the head with a stick, but heckling is a lot different than a movie critic or some blogger giving their opinion. A heckler sits in an audience and interrupts a performance by yelling out criticism, whereas I don’t interrupt anyones performance on my blog, I simply call them stupid or horrible, and move on.

Anyway, it was an interesting film, and you should add it to your Netflix queue when you get a chance. +1 for Deep Roy (the Oompa Loompa from the newest Willie Wonka movie).

Nearly anyone who performs in public on a regular basis is familiar with the notion of the audience member who makes their opinions loudly and clearly known during the show, and like most comedians Jamie Kennedy has dealt with his fair share of hecklers over the course of his career. However, when Kennedy moved from stand-up comic to actor, he encountered a new breed of heckler — the on-line film critic who posts angry rants on the internet, taking Kennedy to task for nearly every aspect of such critically drubbed movies as Son Of The Mask and Malibu’s Most Wanted. Kennedy teamed up with director Michael Addis to make the documentary Heckler, which explores the increasingly combative relationship between artists and their audience. Heckler features interviews with a number of comics and musicians discussing their experiences with loud-mouthed spectators (including Bill Maher, David Cross, Louie Anderson, Rob Zombie, Joe Rogan and David Allen Grier), but Kennedy goes a step further, confronting a number of the writers who’ve bad-mouthed his work and questioning their role in the creative process. Kennedy and Addis also talk with filmmaker Uwe Boll, who went so far as to challenge his critics to a boxing match. Heckler received its world premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This is karma coming back to bite OJ Simpson in the ass. If he gets life in prison, that would be nice, but I seriously doubt he’ll get such a sentence, although it is possible. OJ deserves whatever they give him and more, after brutally murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman and being acquitted of the crime. Kudos to the jury who convicted OJ Simpson on his latest crime spree. The conviction comes 13 years to the day after he was originally acquitted of murder.

From CNN:

O.J. Simpson guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping
From Paul Vercammen
CNN Senior Producer

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) — Former gridiron great O.J. Simpson was found guilty Friday of all 12 counts in the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas, Nevada, casino hotel last year.

Simpson, 61, and his co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, 54, were charged with a dozen offenses stemming from the alleged sports memorabilia heist. Stewart was also found guilty of the same charges as Simpson.

Simpson sat quietly and showed little emotion at the defense table as courtroom clerk Sandra Jeter read the verdicts.

Are you surprised? Who would’ve guessed it, right? LOFL. Supposedly he feels the need to let everyone know by appearing on the cover of People Magazine with his newborn son.

Clay Aiken to reveal he is gay

Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:25pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – After years of dodging questions, former “American Idol” singer Clay Aiken will acknowledge he is a gay man in an interview with People magazine set to run on its Web site Wednesday, according to media reports.

Celebrity site Perezhilton.com on Tuesday published a photo of the cover of People magazine’s upcoming issue on which Aiken cradles his new son, Parker Foster Aiken, in his arms.

The caption reads “Yes, I’m Gay,” and underneath is a quote from Aiken on his decision to come out of the closet that says: “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.”

In August this year, Aiken’s friend, music producer Jaymes Foster, gave birth to the baby fathered by Aiken.

A spokeswoman for People would neither confirm nor deny that Aiken told the magazine he is gay. But the magazine issued a statement saying, “We can confirm that Clay Aiken and his son appear on the next cover of People. For the complete story, visit people.com at 7 a.m. (EDT Wednesday) (1100 GMT) morning.”

Aiken, 29, gained fame as a contestant on the No. 1-rated U.S. TV talent show “American Idol” in 2003. He was the runner-up that season but went on to build a solid singing career on his own. He currently appears on Broadway in “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT.”

For years, Aiken has dodged questions about whether he is homosexual despite persistent rumors on the subject. He has said, generally, that his sexuality was nobody’s business but his own.

In 2006, ABC television‘s Diane Sawyer asked Aiken and he shot back that it was a “really rude” question. He also dodged it in a previous interview with People magazine saying that readers “are going to believe what they want.”
