DAVID FINCHER - was called in to create a menu screen for the BluRay release of ‘Fight Club’, so he copied the one from ‘Never Been Kissed’ starring Drew Barrymore. He meant it as a joke, but they do have things in common. They both make me want to punch someone, for example. (yahoo)
CHRIS BROWN - is struggling to fill even small venues during his comeback tour, and scalpers outside are selling tickets below cost. Maybe because lyrics like “babe pretty thick, that need to be hit” seem more threatening than sexy now. That’s either about a pretty girl he’d like to make love to, or a slow learner who needs a little reminding. (ny daily news)
BRAD PITT - turned down a $5M appearance fee and a trip to the United Arab Emirates because it was on Oct. 31st, and he wanted to go out with his kids on Halloween. What I’m trying to say is, Brad Pitt is an idiot. (msnbc)
BEHATI PRISLOO - is a pro. The model shot for Victorias Secret in New York today, and notice how everyone else is all bundled up and she’s essentially naked. Bullshit like this is why I got out of swimsuit modeling. (inf daily)
‘Fight Club’ is unquestionably the best movie ever made, and tomorrow, finally, it comes out on Blu-Ray and a special DVD to celebrate its 10th anniversary. In high school me and my friends used to get together and fight for no reason other than to do it, and that was before this was even a movie, so maybe that’s why it still resonates with me. I mean we didn’t actually punch each other, because I would have been frightened and I didn’t have any friends, but on Friday night I would make popcorn balls with my mom, and she would send me to my room if I ate too many and then I would kick my stuffed animals, so in that sense it was still very much like ‘Fight Club’.
I’m supposed to have some copies of this to give away tomorrow so I guess I’ll think up some kind of contest for that. Until then, here are picture of sexy/shirtless Brad Pitt to make you feel bad about yourself, even if you are actually Brad Pitt.
RUSSELL CROWE - has worked with director Ridley Scott 4 times already, but things are not going so well on the set of their untitled Robin Hood project. “The producers had to fly to London because Russell and Ridley won’t talk to each other. Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions of dollars.” The movie has a budget of 175m already but it will likely go way over that. Which is all you need to know about Hollywood. Filming 90 minutes of guys in the woods with bows and arrows made of sticks can somehow cost more than a 6 month vacation on the moon. (source = Page Six)
LINDSAY LOHAN - is apparently back on with Samantha RonOH MY FUCKING GOD these two are so boring. (source = Sun UK)
HOW COOL IS THIS - even though every third word on this page is “I” or “me”, I don’t actually talk about myself on here because unlike some I don’t feel my website is my personal fucking diary and promotion machine, but how cool is that banner picture? That is it my friends. The actual bar of soap Brad Pitt holds in the Fight Club promos and the image we tricked for the website header. I got it thanks to a heads up from Tim Sykes, who I wanted to thank publicly. It’s actually aluminum and weighs about two pounds. It’s silver obviously and not pink because when they made pink ones the font didn’t show up in the pics. So they made this and photoshopped the color later. (other pics here and here and here)
Okay sorry this is so late in the day. I had to sweet talk someone into giving me more copies of this, but I have 25 copies of the 10th Anniversary of ‘Fight Club’ on BluRay to give away. I’m not very good at contests, so I guess we can do a scavenger hunt. The first 25 who send in these three things win:
1. A picture of a turtle on a surfboard.
2. Winnie the Poohs real name.
3. Use the word “eschatologically” in a sentence.
Or if you’re a girl you could send me naked pictures. Either one really. Actually I do have a preference. Try and guess which one it is.
ANNOYING UPDATE - see this is why i was bitching about even 25, because we blew threw that shit in about 30 seconds. Anyway, I’m afraid I’m out. I’ll see if I can get some more but let me wade through the people who have already answered. I’m afraid were done after this though. Sucks, I know.
