Jessica Alba is so concern about the paparazzi snapping pictures of her in her snazzy little Prius that she had her windows tinted so dark no one could see inside. Unfortunately for her, that’s against the law, and a cop pulled the “Fantastic Four” star over while she was leaving the gym. (And oh yeah, for some reason her car doesn’t have license plates.) But the funny thing is (and by “funny” I mean it’s “totally crap”), although people saw Alba getting a ticket on the street, TMZ says the LAPD has no such ticket on record. So let me get this straight: Jessica Alba and her Hollywood buddies drive a Prius and gets to bitch at me about Global Warming, but they’re above getting a ticket? Hmm…

Leonardo DiCaprio was recently at Cannes to promote his new documentary “The 11th Hour”, the premise of which is basically, “Change your ways or die!!!!” You know, when I see Leo in his $5,000 tuxedo and $200 haircut telling me that I gotta shape up and save the world because of Global Warming, I don’t know rather to applaud him or beat the living crap out of his smarmy ass. Just forgetting for an instant that the Global Warming debate is FAR from finished, despite what Cappy and his buddy Al Gore will have you believe, I just find the idea of Leo telling me it’s my fault that Global Warming is happening and that I better change my evil ways today or else to be kind of annoying. Hey, Leo — stop flying to Cannes, France in your private jet and riding those gas guzzling limos to your movie premieres, and then we’ll talk about how Global Warming is my fault, you punk ass.

Ooooh, I’m so shocked. Apparently according to this article, despite the population of the United States consisting of more than 30-percent non-whites, nearly 90-percent of all Hollywood writers are white. This, coming from the land where politically correctness means the only acceptable villain in movies nowadays are Big Business run by Evil White Guys. They are so progressive over there in Hollywood that they still insist on hiring people who looks just like them to write their movies. So the next time Hollywood tries to preach to you about being more “open-minded” or “progressive” (i.e. be more Liberal), tell them to go shove it up their (probably) white ass.

In one of those pointless lists that gets people riled up, here’s another one: Lisping blond wunderkind Drew Barrymore beats out Katharine McPhee in People Magazine’s annual 100 Most Beautiful Natural Celebrity list. Coming in third was R&B singer Rihanna. But anyways, this is obviously idiotic. Drew Barrymore looks like a 12-year old with breasts, and talks like a 9-year old high school drop out. Besides that, she can’t hold a candle to Katharine McPhee, who exudes sex appeal without trying. Then again, Hollywood has been trying to sell us on the idea that Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker are “sexy” too, so it’s not like this isn’t a pattern with these dumbasses.

This article talks about how scores of notable celebrities are falling over themselves to give former Saturday Night Live funnyman Al Franken money for his Minnesota Senatorial run against Republican Norm Coleman. Here’s my thought on this: those celebrities, and Franken, have no idea what they’re doing. My theory about celebrities backing politicos? The American people hate it. Mainstream America already thinks Hollywood celebrities are overpriced, overpaid, and overcongratulated doofuses, so whenever a gaggle of celebrity flocks to a political candidate and supports him, the guy always loses. Kerry? Gore? Anyone?

I don’t have anything against the Blue Collar Comedy guys (in fact, I’ve seen two of their comedy shows, and I’ve even seen an episode or two of their TV show), but that Larry the Cable Guy guy is just a major dumbass. I mean, come on, folks, how many fart and scatological jokes can you stand in 30 minutes? This guy throws them out there (no pun intended) like they’re going out of business. It’s funny once or twice, but again and again? Anyways, apparently there is enough of you who thinks Larry the Cable Guy is funny, because the guy now has a movie career. And here I thought “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector” would be enough for one decade.

The British Channel 4 documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle” certainly thinks so. And there are those hippies and “green” rich kids who runs around with signs calling people “climate criminals”, who are not so much lying sacks of crap, but more like stupid regurgitating sacks of crap. You can find out more about the documentary, which recently aired in the UK in March 2007, over at its Wikipedia site here. The documentary has also been uploaded to YouTube in an abridged form (about 8 minutes) and you can see it here. Judge for yourself.

Because you demanded it, and because the majority of Hollywood is morally and creatively bankrupt, they’ve gone back all the way to 1989 (you know, the “Crappy Age of Cinema”?) to find their next latest inspiration — “Weekend at Bernie’s”, about two dorks who takes a dead guy around with them so they can use his beach house or get girls or something stupid like that. The title will be called “Next Weekend at Bernie’s”, and will be set at a ski lodge instead of a beach house. MovieHole has the whole inane story over at their site. Sometimes, when talking about Hollywood, I just want to climb into a shower and take a long, scalding hot bath to wipe off the stink…

Wow, what a shocker. Another wannabe hippie shows his true colors, and it’s not even remotely green. Unless, of course, you count all the green he’s raking in from telling everyone that he is green, ala making a movie about the environment, preaching at the Oscars, and just generally acting like a stiff douche to the converted sheep herds that makes up those who toils away in the vast universe of Hollywoodland (it’s located somewhere around Uranus, you know). But that’s Al Gore for ya. The dudes over at What Would Tyler Durden Do had this story about how Al Gore’s mansion (yeah, that’s right, the guy who preaches environmental conservatism lives in a friggin mansion, not to mention his other two houses somewhere in the States) consumes 20 times the electricity of the national average citizen. Please to continue reading article…

Remember when people actually liked Sharon Stone? Not only was she a pretty good actress, but she also brought the spotlight on that little known cause celeb called “AIDS”, because as we all know, gosh darn it, Hollywood just doesn’t talk about AIDS enough, and it’s up to someone like Stone to bring attention to it! And hey, remember when people actually liked M. Night Shyamalan? Who didn’t get all tingly just thinking about “The Sixth Sense”? Hell, I just got all tingly just writing about it now! Well, those were the days, and this is today, and here are your big list of 2007 Razzie winners, such as they are…

Via the groovy guys over at Cinema Blend, here’s news that “300″ producer Mark Canton is apparently so excited about the upcoming Zach Snyder adaptation of Frank Miller’s “300″ that he’s already talking about a sequel. As the CB guys correctly points out (and as my college semester of Warfare in Greek History confirms), how the hell are you going to make a sequel to a movie where everyone — well, I won’t spoil it for people who might not know the history of the 300 Spartans, but suffice it to say, it ain’t pretty, and it don’t leave room for no stinin’ sequel. Then again, there doesn’t seem to be any room for a sequel to “The Departed”, either, and The Powers That Be still insists on making one, or two, or a couple half dozen. Stupid Hollywood.

Reviews for writer/director Deborah Kampmeier’s movie “Hounddog” (or as it’s more commonly known as, “The Dakota Fanning Gets Rape Movie”) are coming in, and AICN’s Quint has chimed in. It’s a well-written review, which is something you don’t expect from AICN. I mean, come on, these guys can barely string three sentences together without mentioning candy and hot how Natalie Portman is. (She is pretty hot, by the way, and candy is quite tasty.) In any case, here are some highlights from Quint’s review: “I expected the rape scene to be uncomfortable and hard to view, even after the filmmakers struck back at the criticism saying that the scene in question lasts all of 20 seconds and is shown mostly off camera. That is true, but I didn’t expect to feel dirty watching the entire movie, where we get flashes of Fanning’s underwear every other scene.”

Apparently someone actually cares enough about the 2005 Matthew McConaughey movie “Sahara” to sue over it. Or actually, there are dueling lawsuits over it — one by novelist Clive Cussler, from whose book the movie was based, and the other by the production company that made the movie. Who cares about the specifics of the cases, it’s just stunning that anyone would waste time with such a bad movie made over 2 years ago. I mean, it was a monumental box office flop, and everyone wasted their time on it, so why rehash it out now? Go figure. Anyways, you can read more about it here, but I wouldn’t bother. It’s just rich guys suing each other over whose dong is bigger.

In her new movie, “Hounddog”, that is. The 12-year old actress (”Charlotte’s Web”) is shown in the film being raped by a man, and that’s got all the usual suspects on the religious right in an uproar, and all the non-religious left clamoring to defend the film, including Fanning, who tells the media: “When it gets to the point of [people] attacking my mother, my agent … my teacher, who were all on the set that day [when the rape scene was shot], that started to make me mad.” Like, yeah, you, like, tell them, Dakota. Heck, you’re 12 years old, you know what you’re doing. Right?

From a giant, furry king of the jungle to little, furry birds? Apparently that’s the curious path Naomi Watts’ career is taking, as she is expected to sign onto the remake of Hitchcock’s “The Birds” anyday now. The remake is the brainchild of “Armageddon” director Michael Bay, who has inexplicably decided to remake the film for a few years now for some UnGodly reason. Bay and company have just given the writing job to Leslie Dixon, who also scribed the remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair”. Now I’m no cinematic douche that thinks all classics shouldn’t be remade, but what in the world would be the point of remaking “The Birds” except to toss in a sea of CGI birds? Seriously, Hollywood, you’re really starting to piss me off now.

A 28-year old MTV “journalist” (snicker) writing an Iraq War movie because he “covered” it for a Summer is dubious enough, but when his name is Gideon Yago, how can you not be a tad amused? But anyways, Yago has written and sold a script called “Underdog” according to Reuters, about young Marines returning to their small hometowns from the Iraq War, and how their lives have been changed by the experience. This is most definitely something an MTV dork who lives in Manhattan, New York and reports on Britney Spears and K-Fed’s latest opus knows a lot about. Right? Stupid Hollywood.
