Video: Bruno “Accidentally” Lands in Eminem’s Lap During the MTV Movie Awards
Let’s face it, unless you’re a screaming tweener or you get paid to do this stuff as an entertainment “journalist”, you don’t actually watch the MTV Movie Awards anymore. But maybe I should have, especially when I heard about this story from the show — Sascha Baron...

Kiefer Sutherland’s Head Butting Incident May Delay 24 Season 8
Despite being a fan of 24, I’m not thrilled by how this year’s storyline has progressed. Seriously? Tony Almeida as a terrorist scumbag? I don’t buy it. Also, way, way too many usage of the word “conspiracy” has turned the season into something of a joke. Really, in one...

Jackie Chan Says Freedom is For Chumps, Not Chinese Folk
Man, I love reporting on all the crazy things Jackie Chan says. If Uncle Jackie isn’t sticking his foot in his mouth regarding one of his American movies, he’s telling his fellow Chinese citizens that they don’t need none of them fancy freedom whatchamacallits. In fact, according to...

He’s battled Two-Face, The Riddler, and took on Joel Schumacher’s wandering hands, and now Val Kilmer would like to be your Governor. Well, the Governor of the good people of New Mexico, anyway. That is, if the former Los Angeles native turned desert town resident decides to run. He’s...

Stephen King Says Stephenie Meyer Sucks, Kinda Likes J.K. Rowling
Stephen King’s best stories are his short stories, where King doesn’t run out of steam about three-fourths of the way through, as he normally does with his novels, and has to resort to, say, a giant spider in a sewer or alien slugs from outer space for his endings. Really, guys, if that “It”...

Remember from a while back all those headlines about how Christian Bale beat his sister and mother at a hotel during the London premiere of “The Dark Knight”? Bale’s PR people spun that off as the mother and daughter trying to squeeze money out of the then-34 year old actor, and we...

Matt Damon Says James Bond is Repulsive, Plus Other Stuff
Matt Damon thinks James Bond is a sad, sad little bitch, and he’d like to punch James Bond in the nutsack and maybe steal his wife and take his car for a spin. Okay, so maybe Matt Damon didn’t say it in exactly those words, but if I was a betting man, I would think Daniel Craig might not...

Joaquin Phoenix aka White Chocolate The Greatest Rapper Eva
Hey, remember not all that long ago when Joaquin Phoenix said he was taking a temporary sabbatical from acting to pursue a musical career? At first we thought it was a goof, one of those “moments of clarity” brought on by too much of the things momma warned you to steer clear off, but of...

McBay vs. McG: Who ya Got???
It’s always funny when two big-time Hollywood names start going at it in public like little kids at recess. Remember how much joy we got out of that brief (but oh so awesome) feud between Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood? Well they ain’t got nothing on this latest war of words. Whereas Lee and...

Quantum of Bonds: Daniel Craig vs. Pierce Brosnan
Daniel Craig versus Pierce Brosnan: who is the better Bond? Well if you’re every movie critic out there, you think it’s Daniel Craig. Why? Because Craig is the latest one, and movie critics, like the rest of humanity, have a short attention span, so we of course always give the new guy the...

Steven Seagal: Lawman?
Steven Seagal is a lawman. In New Orleans. No, seriously. This isn’t the premise of another lame direct-to-DVD action movie starring Seagal and the rap star flavor of the week. It’s really Steven Seagal, the former star of the “Under Siege” movies, as an honest-to-goodness real...

I don’t usually do these celebrity list thing, but I like me a good Robert Downey Jr. story, and this one is pretty awesome. The “Iron Man” star has been named by Entertainment Weekly as their 2008 Entertainer of the Year, which I hear comes with a nice cash prize of $500 buckaroos...

RIP: Michael Crichton (1942 – 2008)
Wow. Michael Crichton is dead at the age of 66 after a long battle with cancer, something I didn’t even know he had, because he didn’t think it was necessary to tell people about it. I’m just stunned that he’s been fighting cancer all this time; I remember hearing him on the radio...

Joaquin Phoenix Confirms He’s Quitting Acting
Okay, I admit it, when we first published that article about Joaquin Phoenix telling the TV show Extra that he was quitting the acting game in order to concentrate solely on his burgeoning music career, I was a little skeptical.

Michael Moore’s Slacker Uprising is Free — Unless you’re a Stinking Foreigner
Last month, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore made a big deal about putting his latest movie, “Slacker Uprising” on the Internet for all to see and download, or as he puts it, “a gift to my fans”. I didn’t make a post on it because, well, the doc took place in 2004, and...
