    THE PRICE OF FAME AND MISFORTUNE: 5 AND COUNTING

    When true ‘reality’ rears its ugly head..

    Reality TV ‘star’ Josh Duggar has been forced into a very uncomfortable position.. reports surfaced only days ago that the 19 KIDS AND COUNTING star–a man who decries birth control and thinks kids should follow strict rules in a house–that he molested someone 12 years ago.

    Duggar has now resigned from the FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL (bet they are proud to have hosted his name on their paperwork for a while) …

    The network isn’t commenting yet, even though Duggar on Facebook is and his parents are in media.  The claim: He molested five girls, including family…

    The price of fame is often misfortune.

    19 times over, at times..

    And counting.

    THE SERIOUS LIGHTS ON CERES

    NASA captures a new photo of those amazing lights on CERES..

    The closer we get the more amazing they look.. and the more mysterious I find them.

    The current thought is that they are ice, but I am still contemplating the chances they are amazing little cities on the small dot between Mars and Jupiter..

    At this point, scientists and experts have no possible clue as to what the bright lights on our friend in the sky are..

    The entire thing is amazing, utterly amazing.

    Maybe the final result will be dull as an old butterknife, but the run up to whatever scientific discovery yet to be made on Ceres is a bright spot of our current space world..

  • THE POLTERGEIST FAIL

    THE POLTERGEIST FAIL

    The POLTERGEIST remake is released today.. For better or worse..

    And while some horror fans may be enthusiastic about the prospects of the classic film, modernized, being in theaters, others are decrying a lack of imagination, and over abundant use of CGI, and a sloppy uninspired mess of a movie..

    You can find the reviews yourself–the review roundup on ROTTEN TOMATOES isn’t pretty, with the film scoring less than half positive press with writers..

    Horror site BLOODY DISGUSTING checked in with its own review of the movie, with the site lamenting the overuse of special effects, the acting that just doesn’t seem to be convincing, and a climax of the movie suffering from what Kalyn Corrigan called fake-looking spirits..

    The movie, it can be said, doesn’t prove itself when compared to the classic from the early 1980s.. I frankly still can’t understand why this movie was picked from the litter of horror films as the target for a re-do.

    There was almost no need, perhaps less of a need than even Rob Zombie’s messups of the HALLOWEEN films. POLTERGEIST, circa 1982, is a movie about family, love, spirits, death, mystery, and illusion.

    The modern fare seems more bent on cheap scares and lousy special effects that don’t do anything but give a jump or two in a movie theater. Certainly no long-lasting nostalgia will be created by this remake..

    Poorly done, from the reviews I have read, and perhaps something not at all worth it in theaters..

    Police officer killed right before maternity leave

    Omaha police officer killed–she was just HOURS away from maternity leave..  Officer Kerrie Orozco, 29, was scheduled to go on maternity leave Thursday to take care of her daughter, Olivia Ruth, born premature in February, according to authorities.

    Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmanderer said Orozco and other officers were in pursuit of 26-year-old Marcus D. Wheeler when Wheeler began shooting at police.

    A somewhat major earthquake–major due to the location–has just hit near London.. And with it, the nation and other locations around it were rocked and even violently so, according to some reports..

    THIS REPORT goes,

    A “DRAMATIC, violent, jarring and jolting” earthquake has struck the UK near Kent, waking residents in the middle of the night with the shock of their lives.

    The unexpected tremor was felt across Britain.

    The British Geological Survey confirmed the quake struck at 2:52am British Standard Time with an epicentre 7km south of Ramsgate near Kent.

    It measured 4.2 on the Richter scale.

    Even more: Twitter lit up immediately with people telling their few-character type tales about the shaking at their own homes.. the fear they have about a quake in England..

    I was in my first earthquake in 2011, and it was jarring, mostly because the land I lived in was not supposed to be hit with quakes. I’d expect the same feeling is taking place in the UK right now.. Londonites and Kent-ers may be shaking a more inside than outside …

    DUMPED..

    CBS THROWS LETTERMAN SET INTO DUMPSTER

    Well that didn’t take long.. a set of LATE SHOW today is junk by evening..

    Right after Letterman’ final show, CBS trashed his set to quickly begin making way for the new guy..

    The NEW YORK POST and other sources snapped photos of stagehands  and workers uncaringly trashing fragments of late night history..

    The POST reports:

    “I was literally sitting in one of those seats last night,” said Stephanie Strausz, of Manhattan, who scored​ a​ second-row ​ticket to​ Wednesday’s star-studded finale.

    “I can’t believe they’re just demolishing the whole thing. It’s shocking,” she said.

    As stagehands stamped pieces of set into debris, the Letterman lover was able to snatch a bit of dilapidated bridge.

    It belongs in the Smithsonian, not the dump, Strausz said.

    “I’m ridiculously excited. Now I can leave in peace,” she gloated.

    But workers were far less sentimental.

    A stagehand said the piles of bridge pieces and particleboard were headed for the dump, adding: “It’s all junk now.”
