  • Sex comes back to haunt Megan Fox

    Sex comes back to haunt Megan Fox

    The roll out of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is just about set for a momentous culmination.. the movie’s release will come after months —and many hardcore weeks—of Megan Fox headlines. She has cussed out haters, she said she’s sexy, and she dressed in attire that nearly didn’t cover the most sensual places on her body..

    But perhaps regret is starting to creep in. Film companies has used her body and her beauty—not her thumbs—for about a decade. Her roles have focused on the beauty and not the brains.. and isn’t that really a shame.

    USA TODAY reports this about her real attitude:

    Just, please, please, don’t call her a bombshell in front of her kids. Fox, who plays intrepid reporterApril O’Neil in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesreboot opening Friday, cringes visibly when she thinks about her two toddlers, Noah, almost 2, and Bodhi, 5 months, one day being confronted with images of their mother all sexed up.

    “I wanted to be a superhero for my children. They can’t really see Transformers, because it’s too sexualized for them to deal with their mother. That’s their mother bent over the car. We don’t need to go there — maybe ever,” says Fox, 28, referring to her breakout performance in Michael Bay’s 2007 cinematic explosion.

    Michael Bay’s use of Megan’s body in promos ..It has been apparent that TMNT spots are featuring her on purpose in order to attract a potential gender and age group.. And her outfits to the premieres? My oh my.. Little left to an imagination..

    Even more sex related news concerning Megan Fox: Apparently, Brian Austin Greene is not having sex with Megan.. We know that because of gossip rags and E!ONLINE reporting it..

    It’s bizarre to me—and always has been—to know the secret and sultry sex lives of Hollywood stars. People in grocery store lines have always eaten it up as much as the pastries surely in their grocery carts.. And now with the internet’s cheapening of gossip, now it’s even worse. The paparazzi would love to snap Fox and others in any position they could..
    But Megan has kids.
    And her body has been used for years..
    Up and until now..

    Regret perhaps? The uncomfortable fact that eventually her children will see films in which she’s bent overtop of a car with her scantily clad breasts hanging out? You can’t cover kids’ eyes forever.

    But it will be ‘mom’ .. and no one wants to look at ‘mom’ ..

    But Megan’s not just any mom.

  • History on a wire

    History on a wire

    This happened 40 years ago today.

    Philippe Petit left a crowd of thousands breathless as he traversed a wire strung between the Twin Towers. Eschewing a safety harness or a net, the 24-year-old walked and danced across the 130-foot gap between the towers, balanced on a one-inch thick steel cable strung at a height of 110-stories. 

    In later accounts, Petit traced his inspiration for the performance back to the first time he saw a photo of the Twin Towers. He was at a dentist’s office with a toothache when he came across the image in a magazine. The 18-year-old ripped the photo out and left the office. He spent the next six years planning for the death-defying act.

    And now those towers are gone.. remaining are memories of them, and recollections of seeing this amazing feat on that day in August, 1974..

    From the depths of my childhood, new toys for my son

    My son and I were playing my my old He-Man action figures tonight, I think it’s the first time in my 33 years of life I actually took a close look at Moss Man’s face.. What an ugly mug.

    Funny enough, Moss still has a slight hint of the fresh 1980s added on odor that Mattel have him.. Amazing.

    BUT!

    Oh no! Ayden just beheaded Mekaneck… Another casualty in the old toy box..

  • Sharknado 2: The best worst movie of all time

    Sharknado 2: The best worst movie of all time

    While some mock it, and others decry the acting skills, I quite loved it. How can it not be loved.. I certainly will not review it, rate it, or recommend it.. unless you’ve got a well established group of friends who, perhaps a wee bit, are under the influence of some sort of legalized liquid mind changer. Otherwise, you’re forced to see the movie for what it is: A tremendous waste of time.

    But that’s why I loved it.
    Time was meant to be wasted, especially on a Sunday night when the other real new programming on is HOARDERS..

    Tara Reid? Oh my.. but making up for her lack of skills to deliver a solid line even in a joke film: Al Roker and Matt Lauer driving sharp objects through CGI sharks. That cannot be missed..

    So watch this at your own peril.. try to make it a group thing. If it’s not.. you’ll wonder why you did what you just did..

    Baby can you dig your man

    Anyone who follows me or has read this website for any amount of time will know well that when I get worried about something, there’s a tendancy on my part to overkill the issue.. Ebola has been the latest bit of news getting me to tighten my tin foil hat..

    The prospects of EBOLA being present in the United States—on purpose—gave me chills.. Yes, it’s Americans who obviously have the right to be in America, and we’re told the chamber fortress where the treatment in Atlanta will take place is safer than any place on earth.. but.. don’t you still get a bit of a chill hearing that Ebola is purposely being brought to the United States? That a hospital will treat patients here? Maybe I am too ‘American’ in my thought—-but to those who think I don’t care about Africans suffering the affliction, you’re wrong. I have been paranoid about this for years and have constantly worried about it, and reported about it… The latest outbreak is the worst ever seen.. Hopefully it burns itself out.. gets under control…

    Let’s hope Captain Trips will not exist.

    And yes, the man who discovered the virus says that he would sit next to someone on a train if they were infected with it.

    But would you?
    Would I?

    There is chaos constantly on the planet earth.. It reminds me more than a bit like the opening scenes of the STAND, or opening paragraphs depending on how you discovered it..

    EBOLA is coming to our shores.. it’s real, it’s on purpose.

    Let’s hope and pray that all of those rational people saying there’s nothing to see here are right.

    But .. until then..

    Baby..can you dig your man!?

  • A Ninja Turtles fail

    A Ninja Turtles fail

    The building up the new TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES film has been hotter than a pepper sprout in Texas.. Megan Fox, with her thumbs, has been busy talking to COMIC CON attendees about her role, and Bigfoot.. the posters are everywhere.. the new style Ninja Turtles action figures are everywhere, too..

    The American release of the film is August 8..
    The Australian release is September 11.. which makes the next part of this story even more awkward..

    PARAMOUNT PICTURES AUSTRALIA went and did this: They tweeted an image of a burning skyscraper with the Turtles jumping from it, along with this: “Check out the official poster for #TMNT in cinemas September 11”..

    Yikes!! Stop the presses… Cowabunga ..

    What were they thinking?

    The less than tactful image was in social media circles for quite some time, in Internet time, before people snapped back and stormed the virtual servers where the poster was being replicated.

    Apologies ensued..

    Paramount said in a statement, post feeding frenzy on Twitter:

    We are deeply sorry to have used that artwork for the marketing materials promoting the September 11 opening in Australia. Combining that image and date was a mistake. We intended no offence and have taken immediate action to discontinue its use.

    Oh, and yes: The Tweet got deleted..

    But the poster will live in infamy..

    Dope in the White House–not the kind you think

    Bob Beckel: I’ve Done Dope in The White House »

    He was reacting to Snoop Dogg’s bragging rights that he did dope in the first family’s not so humble abode.. Beckel, one of the few Democrats permitted air time on FOX NEWS, said:

    “I can’t criticize this guy (Snoop) because I’ve done dope in the White House myself”

    That..

    And to put this in perspective: Obvious shenanigans are taking place in the White House—I would venture to say that pot was the least of the sins in the past 200 + years—but a teenager is facing life in prison in Texas over pot brownies.  You’re half baked if you don’t see something wrong with that picture..

     

     

  • Cruzing to a bruising: Ted Cruz loses the vampire vote

    Cruzing to a bruising: Ted Cruz loses the vampire vote

    The acclaimed vampire spectacle on HBO, TRUE BLOOD, got political this weekend when it featured Senator Ted Cruz..

    Here is how RAW STORY summed up the plot:

    In the episode, characters Eric Northman and Pam De Beaufort dress up in stereotypical Texan Republican trappings to infiltrate a Cruz fundraising event in Dallas. “Oh my God. I’m a Republic*nt,” Pam remarks after seeing herself in the mirror.

    Ted Cruz responded to the show on his Facebook page, saying, “Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO’s True Blood vampire show would have to be near the top of the list. Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a “Ted Cruz fundraiser.” Well, I’m sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends….”

    Here is the scene from the show:

  • WWE doing what it does best: Commenting on pop culture and current events

    WWE doing what it does best: Commenting on pop culture and current events

    Russian-themed WWE characters use MH17 disaster as part of act »

    The characters Lana and Rusev launched into an anti-American rant in which they made reference to the flight MH17 being shot down and hailed Russian president Vladimir Putin for ‘making fools’ out of the U.S..

    People are quite angry about this, so the mainstream media says, on Twitter and all of the other antisocial networks that exist out there on the information beltway.

    While it may be the old ‘too soon’ cliche that is best used in this situation, I am not at all surprised at what the WWE is doing.

    Back when when the WWE was the WWF, they capitalized on Iranian hatred by making Hulk Hogan win the 1984 title belt against the Iron Sheik.. 

    In 1990, Sgt Slaughter turned his back on the United States and joined with Iraq ..

    Hulkster had to ave the say the day and rid the WWF of anti-American sentiment. 

    So now wrestling has LUNA..
    Controversial: The 'Lana' charter played by C.J. Perry made reference to flight MH17 being shot down and hailed Russian president Vladimir Putin for 'making fools' out of the U.S.

    But there’s no Hulk Hogan to save the day this time. I think John Cena is right for the job..

    Listen.. We all know, at this point in life, that wrestling is fake. It’s an act.. but so often it’s on the cutting edge of pop culture—it’s how it stayed in fashion for so many decades. Vince McMahan is obviously no stranger to controversy and will get through this LUNA lunacy quite fine. 

    As to whether it’s offensive? Sure.. but that’s the point. It’s an attempt to market the character as someone we will all hate in unison. It’s quite a keen way of doing it.. controversial, too. But … if an organization was free of controversy, people may very well stop paying attention to it.. Don’t think THAT doesn’t run through Vince McMahan’s mind.

    Megyn Kelly, Sean Hannity Hit New Ratings Highs With Crisis Coverage »

    Coverage of both the Malaysia Airlines downed over Ukraine and unrest in the Gaza region helped two Fox News Channel programs reach new total-audience highs, according to data from Nielsen

    Kelly is easy on the eyes. Hannity is not. Depending on your political beliefs, their voices are either that of angels or fingernails dragging on chalk boards. Regardless of it all: They won big.
