Man, color me “Shocked and awed and stupified” at the tremendous success of Nicolas Cage’s “Ghost Rider”. How exactly did this movie, that wasn’t even screened for critics, and that didn’t even look that good from the previews, end up #1 everywhere, domestic and foreign? In the movie, Cage’s character makes a deal with the [...]

Man, I’ve been missing out. Here I am, playing poker tournaments online, when I could be playing live, especially with girls like Shana Hiatt doing hosting duties on all these poker tournaments you see on TV everyday. I’m such a chump. Shana Hiatt recently did MC duties on the “World Poker Tour” before leaving and, [...]

I don’t think Stana Katic is Israeli, but she plays one on NBC’s hit show “Heroes”, and really, when TV says it’s true, isn’t it true? On the show Stana plays “Wireless”, an Israeli Mossad agent turned superhero who can “read” cyberspace. Basically she’s got the power that all geeks and nerds wish they had, [...]

Word comes from up top, in the place where mere mortals fear to tread, that the Powers That Be (i.e. Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay, and Will Smith) wants to make a “Bad Boys 3″, supposedly because “Bad Boys 2″ was not enough to pontificate about the human condition and the grand ol question of, “Why [...]

So I’m watching “Deal or No Deal” tonight (only because it comes on before “Heroes”, and I like to tune in beforehand, so don’t get any ideas, you bums), and this guy had a chance to win upwards to $200,000 something. I mean, a hell of a lot of money, but instead his wife kept [...]

It appears “The Mummy” franchise isn’t quite dead, buried, and mummified (get it? mummified?) after all. Via IGN, here’s news that Rob Cohen, taking over the franchise from creator/director/writer/caterer Stephen Sommers, has confirmed that Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh will be in his “Mummy 3″, and that Li will be playing the head mummy bad [...]

Not a whole lot to say about our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, except that she hails from Sweden, is an actress/model (isn’t everyone?), and against my better judgments, I tossed away the post title, “Swedish Meatballs with Tilde Froling” in favor of some modicum of class. Not a whole lot, mind you, but [...]

I’m posting this only in the service of movie news, and it’s been a slow movie news day, because frankly, I could give less than two figs about the upcoming “Indian Jones 4″ movie. I don’t know why, but the franchise has never done it for me. I mean, I’ve seen all three of them, [...]

Yo, Ray, just because you played a mobster in the movies who gets away with, literally, murder, it doesn’t mean you’re gonna get away with it in real life, dumbass. What am I talking about? Apparently “Goodfellas” star Ray Liotta was arrested over the weekend for DUI, Driving Under the Influence. I.e. he was drunk [...]

Holy mother of crap. I didn’t see this coming at all. First there were rumors (which turned out to be true) that “Ghost Rider” wasn’t being screened for critics, and then news that the producers were already looking at a sequel, and — well, let’s just say it: I thought this movie was gonna do [...]

I’m not entirely sure what’s behind Joss Stone’s recent spate of seductive public appearances (and photoshoots), but maybe a new album is coming, and Joss is looking to change her image? Then again, what was her image before this? I have no idea, I never paid attention to Joss Stone until she showed up on [...]

Regular American Idol watchers will recognize Kimberly Caldwell from the second season of AI, where she lasted into the final rounds, before getting ousted at 7th place. I don’t really know why she’s not singing anymore, but as I recall it, she’s got a pretty good voice. But Kimberly Caldwell seems to have left singing [...]

Before Kate Walsh landed the role of Dr. Addison Montgomery on ABC’s hit show “Grey’s Anatomy”, she once played a fat girl on Drew Carey’s TV show, “The Drew Carey Show”. Yes, it’s true. This slim, lovely young thing was required to wear a fat suit on the show, otherwise you wouldn’t believe her character [...]

Since Zoe Saldana is about to star in James Cameron’s new sci-fi extravaganza (re: it’s gonna cost more money than some countries in Africa make in a decade), it’s only right to show you the face of the woman you’re going to be seeing a lot from in, oh, 2 years or so. She’s gonna [...]

So why more Chyler Leigh? After all, her show “Reunion” has been axed and she’s not even on TV anymore (for shame, networks!), but what can I say, I’m developing a very unhealthy fixation on the woman. Hey, there are worst things to be fixated over, such as those guys that can’t go into a [...]

Oooh, I’m giddy. I always get this way when I discover a brand spanking new supermodel that I didn’t know existed before now. And as a self-imposed connoisseur of all things supermodel-ish, I was doubly excited to discover the existence of supermodel Jessica White — an American, no less! (I know, right? Who knew Americans [...]

Frank Miller’s “300″ doesn’t open until March 9th, but Yahoo! Movies is hosting a pretty groovy little clip online where King Leonidas of Sparta (Gerard Butler) gives a badass speech fit for a badass king such as himself. It’s all kinds of badass and should get your blood boiling. No action, no flying arrows or [...]

Donna Feldman is one of the legion of very attractive models that opens suitcases on NBC’s inexplicably hit gameshow “Deal or No Deal”, where loud, obnoxious people have to make the very difficult decision of rather to take $40,000 for free or risk losing it on the chance to win $1 million, when the chance [...]

Who is Alina Vacariu (or according to IMDB.com, Alina Vacario), our Random Foreign Babe of the Day? Well, you can be rest assured that she indeed qualifies, being both a babe of babelicious proportions, and a foreigner. And yes, it is a day. A Sunday, to be exact. What was I saying? Oh, right, Alina [...]

FOX has renewed two of their best, lesser known shows “House” and “Bones” for an additional year. “House” will be entering its fourth season, while “Bones” gets a third. In “House”, Hugh Laurie stars as Dr. Greg House, “a brilliant and unconventional physician with a brutally honest demeanor.” “‘Bones’ stars Emily Deschanel as forensic anthropologist [...]
