AXL ROSE - made a very rare public appearance and played a secret show this weekend in New York. Unfortunately the only guy who filmed it had never heard of a camera before, and no one told him what they were or how they worked. (foundry)

LEONARDO DICAPRIO - is not engaged to supermodel Bar Refaeli, despite some reports saying he is. He should settle down and get married. Finally see what everyone is raving about. (pop eater)

BRAD PITT AND QUENTIN TARANTINO - really love weed, but not while they work, so they didn’t smoke any while filming ‘Inglorious Basterds’. They tried, but the result was the first 45 minutes of the movie showing Brad asking if anyone ever noticed that cats have grandparents, and then everyone else agreeing that this was totally fucked up. (daily news)

BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE - are in Venice, Italy today, holding hands and smiling while getting ice cream with Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, who was dressed in a little bear cub (monkey?) hat. If these pictures were any more wholesome, they would be listed by the government as a source of calcium. (fame and inf)


12.14.2007 QUENTIN TARANTINO AND LINDSAY LOHAN?

OK! magazine says that director Quentin Tarantino, who previously has worked with actors like Robert Forster and Pam Grier when their careers in Hollywood were all but over, is a big fan of Lindsay Lohan, and apparently he would work with her any time.

He's transformed the careers of Uma Thurman and John Travolta, and now director Quentin Tarantino says that he'd love to work with Lindsay Lohan. Said Tarantino, "[Lohan] is one of the best actresses in Hollywood."
OK! caught up with the auteur during the 65th annual Golden Globes nominations ceremony yesterday where Tarantino helped announce the nominees.
When asked if he'd ever cast Lindsay in a Kill Bill-type role, Tarantino said, "I could cast Lindsay in almost anything!"

Lindsay Lohan in a movie with guys in black suits shooting people and sexy kung fu experts and sodomy?  All I can say is, what took so long?



04.09.2007 EVERYONE SUCKS

Dear god, the numbers from this weekends box office are in and they reveal a very disappointing pull for "Grindhouse".  Despite being awesome in every way, it came in fourth place and earned a surprisingly low $11.5 million.  Lazy ass comedy "Blades of Glory" somehow topped the weekend with $23 million, bringing its two week total to a heart-breaking $69 million.  "Meet the Robinsons" was number 2 this weekend, earning $17 million.  Even a family comedy with Ice Cube beat "Grindhouse", as "Are We Done Yet" came in third and pulled $15 million.  

And this is why most movies and TV suck.  Because whenever anyone tries something different it's rejected out of hand and producers of boring crap like Blades of Glory and Family Guy roll around in giant piles of money like Scrooge McDuck.  Whoever finds this crap funny must have a pretty weird sense of humor, because the entire thing is so lazy it ends up more depressing than United 93 .  “Two gentlemen - ice skating - TOGETHER?!?  This is highly unusual!  The shock from this hilarious premise caused my top hat to leap from my head and my monocle fell into my champagne glass as I fainted on one of the peacocks!  My heart cant take any more of this edgy Hollywood comedy!  Mine eyes have seen the glory - Blades of Glory, that is!!!”
