And the award for biggest A-Hole on the planet goes to...

What the hell is wrong with Kanye West? Who brought this asshole up? If I was his mother I would have dragged his ass off the stage by his ear. This sweet, country singing teenager wins her first VMA award and this douchebag, grabs the mike from her and basically says that she robbed Beyonce. That it was Beyonce who truly had the best video and should have won. And Beyonce puts on her best WTF smile. She was mortified.

It wasn't easy finding the video for this it was even taken off the Associated Press website. I am not sure who they are trying to protect, Taylor from the embarrassment, the producers of the VMA's or the asshole, Kanye. I have to see this so I am downloading it from Mininova.

But this is what I could find.



People were shocked! I mean really, this kid is completely classless. It was all over Twitter, as it was happening. Katy Perry Twittered: FUCK U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN.

And the Classy Chick award goes to?... Beyonce. When she was accepting her award she brought Taylor back on stage so she could finish her acceptance speech. Very classy.

(couldn't find a video for that either)

I heard that Kanye was supposed to perform after this but was cut last minute. I can't confirm that until I see the program but I can't imagine him getting anything but boo'ed after that load of crap he pulled.

Update:

Okay, so I watched the whole thing. Yup, KW, still an A-hole. But what was most disturbing was Lady Gaga.

Chick is not wound right.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Steven Seagal: Lawman - A&E TV

Poor choice of words perhaps?

I was reading this article.

Deaths that shocked us

How many of these 'actually' shocked you? Not many I bet.

I can count on one hand, and have a couple fingers left over.

I mean really. How can you be shocked by drug overdoses, or airplane crashes. Homicides, yes. But if a big, fat, rock star junkie dies of a heart attack or OD's, is that really shocking?

A Beach Boy drowning. Yeah, that's real shocking.

Doing my part for Mother Earth.

Since all the celebrities say I should, I have vowed not to let my carbon footprint crush the earth under its heal.

From this day forward:

I will refrain from driving a gas guzzling SUV or a Porsche or a Ferrari. Not that I actually own any of these but, the fact is, I will still refrain.

I will switch to a hydrogen powered car, even though there is nowhere within a couple hundred thousand miles that sells hydrogen or hydrogen powered cars for that matter.

Under no circumstances will I be taking my private jet on short jaunts to the Riviera. I will just have to settle for lemonade on the deck with the cats.

I will recycle absolutely everything. Even though using recycled materials creates more pollution than it would to produce the same product using the natural recourse to begin with, since there are 6 extra processes involved as well as 3 extra trucks on the road to collect all that shit.

I will not buy Beluga Caviar out of season. Since the shipping alone will punch another hole in the o-zone.

I will insist that my servants come only from this country as to offset the cost of fuel to have a coyote truck them in from Tijuana.

I will donate the extra forty seven million in my bank account to the Kenya Reforestation project. (I do what I can)

You know what? I am sick to death of celebrities telling me that I need to reduce, reuse and recycle when donating the cost of one of the upteen botox/spa treatment they enjoy to plant a tree in Kenya would offset a hundred regular-folks carbon footprints.

So, fuck off!

They are cute...but they are food.

They are just food. Food that, some people believe, if left to multiply like rabbits, would wipe out other food sources. Whether that is true or not, they are just food, and of course pelts. A "significant" source of income in many remote, coastal communities.

The seal hunt is not just a sadistic slaughter its a managed annual cull. Did I mention people eat them? I don't see you having a telethon for the cod fish, Paul. Oh, that's right, they aren't cute. (Oh and he doesn't pose with the seals that are actually part of the hunt, just these cute baby ones, who haven't been hunted since 1987, he almost got arrested for being this close one.)

So Paul McCartney thinks the seals are cute. Well, so is Bambi, but you aren't trekking through the woods of Tennessee and getting between Bubba and his ten point buck. No. Cuz Bubba would pop a cap in your ass. Whereas Canadians just ask you politely to step aside.

Tragedies have marked the seal hunt this year. More than usual and I can't help but wonder if they are truly accidents.

The Sea Shepherd Society seems to be more aggressive this year compared to other years, (most likely because of Paul) going so far as attempting to water hose sealers as they are walking the ice flows. This is not some cast-a-net-and-haul-it-in operation, you have to get off the boat and walk on the ice flows. Very dangerous work.

Then the idiot captain of the Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson, makes some bone-headed comment after four sealers lose their lives when their boat capsizes.

"the deaths of four sealers is a tragedy," but added "the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of seal pups is an even greater tragedy."

"They are vicious killers who are now pleading for sympathy because some of their own died while engaged in a viciously brutal activity."

I kid you not!

Oh, but they are surprised by the reception they get when they try to dock at Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Sailors were quick to make them aware that they were not welcome and cut their lines to set them adrift.

I know the face of the seal hunt protest is a cute little, furry, white baby seal. What they don't tell you is that baby seal hunting was banned in 1987. (BTW, the seals' white coats disappear after four weeks, while those animals killed in the hunt are eight weeks or older) People really need to get the facts before they just jump on Paul McCartney's band wagon. But I guess if they did, Paul Watson would have to get a real job.

FACT: A seal can eat 2-3 kilos of fish a day. The population is estimated at 5.5 million seal. The quota for the cull this year is (I believe) 270,000 seal. For some sealers, the seal hunt represents up to one-third of their annual income.

It is not just done, willy nilly, its called management of the fisheries, Paul, go fuck off somewhere!

Love is most definately blind.

The only interesting thing happening on Big Brother 9. James and Chelsea, going at it hot and heavy.

That is not really the interesting part. Poor Chelsea thinks she is in love. I would love to be a fly on the wall when she finds out that James is a gay (soft?) porn star.



How could you not know something is very 'off' with that boy. He has a badly done pink Mohawk. He dresses like a clown, in purple pants that don't even fit him properly, which I suppose explains the rainbow (gay pride) belt.

He has just about the stupidest, poorly done tattoos I have ever seen. I am surprised anyone (ANYONE) found this kid in the least bit attractive.

He has told everyone he is homeless, bicycling across America for some unknown reason. I am sure he has a reason, and he has said what that reason is but it was probably so stupid that I have forgotten it. Then he turns around and tells Chelsea that he used to own a mortgage company. Seriously? She bought that hook, line and sinker. I am not sure, but I think Chelsea may have been dropped on her head as a child.

Scraping the bottom.

I always look forward to the performances of the best song nominations.

The nominations for Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song)are:

"Happy Working Song" Enchanted
"Falling Slowly" Once
"That's How You Know" Enchanted
"Raise It Up" August Rush
"So Close" Enchanted

What can I say. Not even Disney could come up with a song I can even remember 5 seconds after it was over. Even though all through the songs I was wishing they were. Over, that is. Except perhaps "So Close".

They weren't so much bad, as they were forgettable. Certainly no 'My Heart Will Go On' or Schindler's List Theme so I just couldn't be bothered including a clip or link. You can search on uTube if you like. But I can't bring myself to listen to them again.

Ok, I might was well include a link, since I have nothing to do while I wait for the obligatory dead-guy montage. (How much you wanna bet Heath Ledger gets the end credit?)

And the winner is?

"Falling Slowly" Once

Myeh.

(Oh, and you would have lost that bet.) Predictable.

It's a no-brainer, right?

A new production of A Raisin in the Sun, a made for TV movie, will air February 25th on ABC.

The role of Walter Lee Younger was originally played by Sidney Poitier in the stage play as well as the 1961 film.

So, who could they possibly choose to reprise such a role?

Why P-Diddy, of course.



I am thinking he has something to do with the production.

Thank you, Godfather.

The writer's strike is only going to make things worse.

Parking Wars - It can't be about the obvious, right? Oh but it is. It is like Cops, only its meter maids. I kid you not.

Seems like George Clooney has had enough, he won't let this go on to fuck up the Oscars. He'll make them an offer they can't refuse.

Apparently George is Don Vito Corleone.

The white elephant in the middle of the room.

With all his money you would think he could afford a better toupee. Wonder why no one says anything?

I understand it though. No one wants to be the guy who points out the white elephant, lest that white elephant delivers a roudhouse kick to the throat. He has got to know that we know, doesn't he? You can't take your eyes off it. Hard not to offer it a bowl of milk or something.

Suppose it isn't as bad as The Donald. I don't care how many helicopters he gets off of without that hair moving. It is a comb-over, albeit, an expensive 'weave' comb-over, but a comb-over none the less. Your not fooling anyone.

Bitch done lost her mind!

See this is what I mean. Give a kid that kind of money and fame and she will start to believe her own press.

She seems to think this is all a big joke. She is Britney, this is not happening.

Now she has apparently lost her mind. And all it took was someone to tell her she couldn't have something she wanted.

Luciano Pavarotti | 1935-2007

‘The world weeps for Luciano Pavarotti’



He was an odd egg, but the man had mad skills.



Every time you saw him in interviews you just knew this man lived life.


(Not bad for a Canadian kid, eh?)

He seemed like he was having a ball.



He lived large.

Maybe not an Academy Award winner butt...

Just sittin' around with the boy watching movies. He likes blood and gore ones, Chainsaw Massacre, Grind House, that sort of thing. He also likes action movies so we downloaded Universal Soldier, circa 1992. A classic.

This is what I love about Jean-Claude Van Damme movies.


The gratuitous butt shot!

TB: "Not much of an actor is he?"

ME: "Uh, what? Sorry, did he talk in this one?"

This is definately a movie I can get 'behind'.

Things that make you go...hmmmm.

I spend a lot of time in front of this computer, and every time I think I have seen it all, I realize I never will. I have been on here a long time and I like to consider myself jaded but there is always something that makes me say WTF? Maybe it is because people are so bombarded with information 24/7 that everything is becoming boring. We are desensitized by the onslaught.

I was watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels the other night and they were in Vegas. What the hell is going on with Carrot Top? He's like Chucky....all cute at the beginning and now he is horror movie scary.

He was so fun to watch, all goofy hair, gangly arms and legs. Now he is just a freak show, you can't take your eyes off him. I kept waiting for his arms to pop or somethibng. Reminds me of those body builder chicks who's faces get all distorted. [Shiver]

I came across this the other night while searching for movies, R. Kelly - Trapped In The Closet Chapters 13-22???? Are you kidding me? Would someone just pull the trigger on this idiot already?

Smells like hypocrisy...tastes like chicken.

You have gotta love the hypocrisy of the entertainment industry.

Live Earth is promoting green to save the planet - what planet are they on?

I think Al might have had good intentions but the idea of 'carbon offsetting' is just too ridiculous. Sounds good, but translates into retarded.

Carbon offsetting involves 'neutralising' the emissions you are responsible for by buying 'credits'.

A spokesperson for Live Earth says: "This might involve buying environmentally sound lightbulbs for a Third World school, planting trees, or installing solar panels in a developing country."

Are you fucking kidding me? I can blow a hole in the ozone, I just have to plant a tree in Bora Bora. Makes all kinds of sense. Sounds like someone is trying to appease all the real polluters, rich folk. After all they are the only ones who can truly afford to buy the ultra-polluting vehicles, jets etc...

Madonna, you yourself produce more than 100 times the average amount of waste produced by Britons in a year. But hey, no worries, just as long as you remember to pick up those light bulbs for that third world country on your way to and from your castle in your SUV.

I think I did more for global warming than any of them. I stayed the fuck home. Live Earth might have amounted to exactly what Bob Geldof and the Who singer Roger Daltrey predicted: a huge, offensive rock concert. Matt Bellamy, front man of the rock band Muse, has dubbed it 'private jets for climate change'.

Honestly, what planet are these crayons on. A better idea would have been to broadcast individual podcasts on the internet for free. Nobody travels, no private jets in the air, no litter, no need to recycle. But then, Madonna couldn't have gotten her ego stoked, live and in person.

Sad.

Attica!

Well, Paris made it a whole three days behind bars. Then, for some fucked up reason, the sheriff sent her home with an ankle bracelet. WTF? Three days?

The judge caught wind of it and said, fuck that! Dragged her boney ass back to jail. Away she goes kicking and screaming. "It's not right! ...Mom!" Poor baby.

What made that sheriff think he would get away with it? Did he really think no one would notice? Give your head a shake man.

Face Crack.

The dude actually did it. Turn out was good and the Frisco stayed till the tattoo was finished and beyond, I think. This is the artwork that they settled on. Much better than the mug shot.

Below is some video of the event, I am sure there will be plenty more where that came from, he won't be able to forget this little stunt any time soon.

More shit that cracks me up.

I have this thing on my iGoogle page, it's a Chuck Norris Fact Generator taken from over at Beer & Sympathy.


It always makes me laugh no matter what kind of shit ass day I am having.

Also found at Beer & Sympathy. Cyanide and Happiness

If you enjoy it, thank your cult leader.

So what if the Bro deletes me from his FaceBook, I am a member of this group.



The count is now at 15,578 members. This boy is getting inked! And soon.

"As crooked as a dog's hind leg."

Wondering how this guy is still alive on American Idol? I don't know about you, but this kid makes my ears bleed. So, you might ask yourself, "How is he still on the show?" Well its a little thing called VoteForTheWorst.com

It started up in 2004 but this is the year it has really taken hold, thanks to Howard Stern jumping on the band wagon. Recently the creator was interviewed on David Letterman.

Dave explains the VoteForTheWorst phenomenon.


Here Dave interviews Dave Della Terza, creator of VoteForTheWorst.com and "one of the most powerful people in television, maybe, maybe in the world."



Considering that a person doesn't actually have to win American Idol to get a recording contract, who is really hurt by this, except maybe my bleeding ears?
