Its good to see that the most intelligent fans are fans of Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay has had such a hard summer, with all the press about her drug problem, her DUI, her second DUI, and her multiple stints in rehab. Luckily, she has obsessed fans like this guy, who want her to know just how much they love her.

August 25th, 2007 — Videos, Trailers, Celebuskanks, Family Drama
It’s hard to believe but there are still crazy fans who are on Chris Benoit’s side. He only murdered his wife and son after all…or maybe he didn’t even though all evidence seems to point towards him and nothing has been proven to the contrary. Regardless, here’s a new tribute to Benoit. Make sure to leave your thoughts on this one in the comment section.
DOOL Video: Why Soap Stars Get Little Respect
August 25th, 2007 — Videos, TV News
All I can say to this video is…wow. I never knew there were actresses more over the top than Susan Lucci. This just goes to show why Soap stars aren’t typically taken seriously compared to other actors and actresses. Oh, by the way, they’ll be sending me my Oscar in the mail next week.
Miss Teen USA Judge Questions Make Teens Look Unintelligent
August 25th, 2007 — Videos, Beauty Queens, TV News
On Friday, August 24, 2007, Miss Colorado was crowned, Miss Teen USA 2007. The live broadcast, which was hosted by Mario Lopez, showed just how the teenage girls could answer questions under pressure. Not one of the girls seemed to do a decent job of answering their questions, which leaves me to ponder…are these the teens who will have control of our future one day?
Nicolas Cage is Magnum P.I.
August 25th, 2007 — Actors, Movie News
First, I need to ask when the movie industry became so desperate to make a buck that they had to continue going to old television shows to make movies. Have we learned nothing from Dukes of Hazzard or the impending Dallas debacle? Apparently, we haven’t (we as in Hollywood that is) because rumor has it that Nicolas Cage is set to play the Tom Selleck part in Magnum P.I.
This means that Cage would play the role of Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV. According to reports, Selleck won’t be back because he is too old to play the role. While that is true, whether Cage will actually take on the role remains to be seen. It’s been listed that he’s only in talks, thus far, and his name is not actually attached to the picture. However, if he does decide to take on the role, I can’t help but wonder if he will be sporting a god awful mustache like the days of Magnum in the 80s.

August 25th, 2007 — Videos, Trailers, Movie News
Reservation Road is a new movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, Jennifer Connelly, and Elle Fanning. It is based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name that was written by John Burnham Schwartz. Directed by Terry George of Hotel Rwanda, Reservation Road is a tale of anger, courage, and revenge. The story involves two fathers and follows their families as their lives come together.
College professor Ethan Learner (Joaquin Phoenix), his wife Grace (Jennifer Connelly), and their daughter Emma (Elle Fanning) are attending a recital. Their 10-year-old son Josh (Sean Curley) is playing cello. On the way home, they stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one instant, he is taken from them forever.
In a similar situation, law associate Dwight Arno (Mark Ruffalo) and his 11-year-old son Lucas (Eddie Alderson) are attending a baseball game. The Red Sox are playing and hopefully heading for the World Series. As Dwight drives his son back home to his ex-wife, Lucas’ mother Ruth Wheldon (Mira Sorvino), Dwight heads towards his fateful encounter at Reservation Road.
Slow Down Britney, You’re going too Fast
August 25th, 2007 — Celebuskanks, Brit Brit, Pop Tarts
Britney Spears has done it again, though as usual she hasn’t done it as good as the other Hollywood twits in town. After all, this traffic offense was not linked to a DUI like you might expect from former gal pals Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton. Spears was pulled over last night for speeding. She was pulled over by Highway Patrol around 12:30 AM driving near Downtown Los Angeles.
Spears had two of her backup dancers in tow (remember the good ol’ days when Kevin was her backup boy?!) and was driving a white Mercedes convertible. The pop tart was cooperative according to police reports and ended up allowing one of the backup dancers to drive as the authorities left the scene.
TV Snippets for 8/24

Say Goodbye to Anchorwoman
Anchorwoman has been cancelled after just one episode, though after hearing my mother complain about how stupid this show actually was, it comes as no surprise. Apparently, she wasn’t the only one to hate this new concept. Anchorwoman received a 1.0 rating in the adult demographic. FOX must have opted to cut their losses while they could.
On the off chance you were a fan of the show, you can see the rest of the episodes through Fox On Demand. The show was labeled as a comedy/reality series about a dippy swimsuit model and former WWE diva who transforms to become an anchorwoman for a tiny station in Texas with poor ratings. While it was a reality show, it obviously wasn’t popular enough to beat out reruns. Until the fall season begins, the Anchorwoman time slot (Wednesdays 8PM) will contain old episodes of Til Death.

August 25th, 2007 — Celebuskanks, Brit Brit, Celebrity Crime, Pop Tarts
Apparently the custody of her children is not the only thing in question. Now the future custody of her dog might be in question, too. The LA chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recently visited Spears home to check up on the status of some cruelty claims about her pooch.
Madeline Bernstein who heads up the LA part of the SPCA mentioned receiving numerous calls about Britney’s dog. Some calls mentioned that the dog wasn’t being treated properly and other calls mentioned that the dog was in a cast. The SPCA went out to see Spears and her dog in order to assess the situation.
Unfortunately, Spears was not home at the time so they left their information. Bernstein made sure to mention that one way or another, the issue would be resolved.
Mia Farrow Pleads with China
August 25th, 2007 — Actresses
Mia Farrow was most recently in the news when she started an Olympic-style torch relay that went through countries that had suffered genocide. Now she is pressing China to help stop the abuse that occurs in Darfur, a region of Sudan.
Farrow, who is not only an actress, but a U.N. Goodwill ambassador just returned from visiting refugee camps in Chad where she started the torch relay. While there, she told true stories to reporters about women from the Darfur region that survived militia attacks only to be thrown in prison for months while suffering repeated abuse.
According to Farrow, China’s oil interest in the country of Sudan is funding attacks on the people of Darfur. She has urged China’s government to encourage Sudan to accept the peacekeeping forces that will be coming into the country to help Darfur.
Over 200,000 people have died in Darfur since 2003. An additional 2.5 million have been forced from their homes. This is the result of ethic African farmers rebelling against a predominantly Arab central government who has been accused of discrimination and neglect.

According to reports, Durst lost over $2,500 in cash, ID cards, a cell phone, credit cards, and a $13,000 handbag. On a good note, the robbers were idiots. The burglars were caught on a surveillance camera leaving Dunst’s hotel.
Currently one suspect is being held on a $50,000 bond. Jarrod Beinerman was arraigned on Wednesday for the August 9 incident.
Hannah Montana the Newest Cash Cow?
August 25th, 2007 — TV News, Teen Queens
Buddy Sheffield has filed a lawsuit claiming that the comedy show for children, Hannah Montana, is actually his concept, but that Disney never compensated him for his idea. The lawsuit is claiming breach of contract, unfair competition, breach of confidence, and unjust enrichment.
According to Sheffield, he pitched an idea to Disney back in 2001. The idea of the show was about a student in junior high who lived a secret life as a rock star. The lawsuit claims that while Disney did originally like the idea they eventually passed on it.
These days, Hanna Montana, which stars Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, is about virtually the same concept (a teen who leads a secret life as a hit pop recording artist) and has become a hit. The show has produced a number of hit CDs and plenty of merchandise. Sheffield wants a part of the money pot for himself.
