Now that Harry Potter is all grown up he does much more than practice wizardry in films that may or may not be worth watching. Recently, Daniel Radcliffe received critical acclaim for performing on the London stage in the play, Equus, where he dropped his clothes and picked up the role of a tortured teen. Despite the bothersome results, when the media reported little Harry would be naked, ticket sales went wild, reaching $4 million in advanced sales.
Even with the big success, Radcliffe is nervous of the idea that the play is going to be done in New York, as well. The reason, which he told to Reuters, is that he feels that New York audiences can be shrewder than London audiences.

Jennifer Lopez new video, “Do It Well”, has been released. I have to admit that I do not normally watch music videos. Ever since MTV stopped playing them I haven’t really shown enough interest to look elsewhere or check them out online. However, I happened to come across this one and I have to say, for all the hype that was behind this, there isn’t much going on.
J-Lo is your standard tough girl, beating up all the guys. She has the typical dance moves and the song isn’t really anything that people will remember six months from now. The most interesting (if you want to go that far) aspect of the video is the fetish aspect and it’s poorly represented. When it comes to music videos, I have definitely seen better.

Set your clocks and make sure you’re wearing your special head gear because you will have the opportunity to bang your head against the wall this Sunday while watching the VMAs. The opening act has been confirmed and it will be Britney Spears. MTV has released a press announcement stating that Spears will be opening the show with her chipmunk howl of a song, “Gimme More”.
Oh, and not that anyone cares, but the greasy haired, attention slut who has been riding on the train wreck’s coattails, sucking her lollipop is also in on the show. So that info on the mirrors and Criss Angel offering some magical instruction must have some truth to it. Well either that or he’s becoming one of her backup dancers.

The mother of John Graziano is speaking out now about the car crash that her son was in with reality television star, Nick Bollea, son of Hulk Hogan. Graziano’s mother has confirmed that there was a silver Viper that Hogan was racing. The driver of the Viper has been identified as Danny Jacobs.
Debbie Granziano sent an exclusive email to Bay News 9 in Florida to release the following information. “His best friend Danny, the driver in the other car, is devastated.”
In the email, Graziano also made sure that she squashed the idea that the Hogan’s would monetarily suffer for what has happened to her son.
Graziano says, “Two families are devastated. Two mothers are comforting each other and caring for each other’s children according to their needs, and will continue to do so until, as Terry said, we walk John out of here … Terry and Linda love my son and saw him as a good role model to Nick. … Since day one of this nightmare they have been with us physically, emotionally, mentally and financially.”

TMZ has reported that the president of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk sent View moderator, Whoopi Goldberg an email that details her opinion of Whoopi’s statement on her first day of The View. For those who missed it, on the show, Goldberg defended Vick’s actions concerning his dogfighting enterprise.
In the email, Newkirk told Goldberg, “I think a lot of people who live and work in the South — as PETA does — will not appreciate the “view” that cruelty to dogs is an accepted Southern pastime.”
This is something that a few of our commenters have also mentioned and rightfully so. However, Newkirk goes on to say, “Those who fight dogs do so in New York, Chicago, and even the Republic of Ireland, and what unites them is lawlessness and callousness, not whether they eat grits or Belgian waffles for breakfast.”

Perhaps if comedian Eddie Griffin would have just been saying naughty words he wouldn’t have been removed from the stage. However, at the Black Enterprise Magazine function where he was performing, the excessive use of the N-word got him booted and forced his performance to end early.
Andrew Wadium is a spokesperson for the magazine and he states, “We believe that ending the performance was the appropriate action.” The AP attempted a call to Griffin’s reps but no calls were returned.
Meanwhile, Reverend Al Sharpton left a message on the National Action Website that, “expressed gratitude that the nation’s pre-eminent magazine for African Americans stands behind the effort of National Action Network in getting rid of the N-word.”

Chris Benoit went out with a bang earlier this summer when he knocked off his wife and son and then committed suicide, but his father is talking out in an attempt to explain what he thinks might have happened. One of the main theories is that the massive amount of steroids pumping through Benoit’s blood caused him to go into a rage and kill his family.
Michael Benoit believes that it could have been the effect of multiple concussions rather than the steroids that caused the wrestler to kill his family. Benoit, who spoke with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, said that after the death he submitted a portion of the wrestler’s brain to Julian Bailes, a neurologist that works with The Sports Legacy Institute. According to Bailes, Benoit’s tissue presented damage that is similar to an Alzheimer’s patient. This suggests that he could have been suffering from a type of dementia. It is believed, at least by his father, that the dementia could have made him snap and kill his family.
