Jewel goes undercover for FunnyOrDie

Jewel, disguised as a mild mannered businesswoman, drops by a local karaoke bar and performs some of her classic songs to a completely dumbfounded audience. the only thing i hate about it is that they don’t appear to publicly reveal that Karen is Jewel. wtf? so this chick comes out and sings and everyone is like wow and then for no explained reason they just announce Jewel and SHE comes out and sings (without the disguise) and everyone is like wow. eh… isn’t the whole funny part reliant on everyone finding out that Karen was really Jewel? only one reaction shot. lame. but I love the idea. still worth watching.

Race Bending in Air Bending?

All I know about the movie is that someone sent me this picture alleging some Race Bending in the casting and I find it funny. all the asians are white guys and the bad white guy from the cartoon is now an (Indian) Asian actor (the slumdog millionaire, actually).

But M. Night Shayamalan is, er, also of Indian origin. sooo… isn’t it the rule in America that we never call anyone non-white a racist? so like. wtf is going on then?

Here’s the trailer:

I’d rather watch this movie:

Lohan cries in court

? Li-Lo, Li-Lo, it’s off to jail you go… ?Lindsay Lohan is facing three months behind bars after she violated her 3-year-long probation on a drunk driving charge. In 2007 the actress pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and three driving charges and spent 84 minutes in prison before her release. A judge in California said Lohan had failed to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes. The actress burst into tears as the verdict was announced. The surrender date is July 20, 2010.

Good for you Judge Judy lady judge… it’s so bizarre to see Lohans defense of why she didn’t comply with the loose terms of her probation because “i was working” and “with children” no less. then when the ruling is read she does the whole “are you serious??” shock reaction. jail?? for breaking the law that was placed on me after i was allowed to not go to jail after breaking the law?? omfg!!!11. on the other hand though, i think its really fkked up that news cameras are allowed in the court room. seems like a big invasion of privacy (says the guy who embeds the video directly the below this sentence)…

not enough for you? here’s the extended footage. 11 minutes of…yikesness…

The Blindside family talks about their story

I saw The Blindside a few weeks ago so naturally, like is the case with everything I take in and dont hate – i have to know everything about it possible, so here are some videos to share that walk through the true story of the Oscar winning movie. I still haven’t found out however, why it was made into a movie at all though. Did Michael Oher, who the movie is about, do something record breaking during his football career? was the book a sleeper hit on a massive scale? It’s a really nice story, but… why? oh well. it’s still interesting.

First, an interview with Michael Lewis, author of the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, which became the basis for the Sandra Bullock movie. Lewis discusses what inspired him to write the book about Michael Oher and sets up the story:

Here’s a CBN piece on Michael, the Tuohys, and Tony Henderson (aka Big Tony), who helped to look after Michael prior to his time with the Tuohy family. Big Tony was also responsible for getting him into Briarcrest Christian High School:

Here are the Tuohys talking to Mike Huckabee on his weekend show:

Part 2:

Toy Story 3 pre-thoughts

I am fighting the urge to download the Toy Story 3 bootleg before I go and actually see it some time this weekend (finally, gawd). But in the mean time I’m taking the opportunity to carry over some issues I’ve been discussing about it with others:

First, we can all handle T3 with the sighs of relief via the knowledge that it won’t be the last time we see them in theaters ever. the Toy Story characters will come back to big screens in 2011 in a short skit before Cars 2.

Too bad Cars sucked. Granted though that Pixar doesnt make bad movies, so even their fails are better than Dreamworks or Fox’s best efforts, but no – Cars lacked anything epic. It’s actually one of Pixars worst performers, box office wise but the NASCAR merchandising is such a goldmine that they want to keep the characters fresh in the popculture mind.

I actually think nothing truly good should “end” if it can still be done right. I dont mind waiting. TS3 took so long because the Pixar President had it in writing that it would NOT be made in it current form when Disney planned it years ago. Originally it was the story of TS2 except with Buzz in the Woody spot – he gets recalled and the toys travel to Tokyo to rescue him. It blew so Pixar forced Disney to kill it and only relented when a TS3 script came along that actually moved the story somewhere.


I would like to see Seinfeld, Friends – even Cheers, come back every 11 years or so when legit stories to be told are thought of. I like that they’re not cutting us off entirely with TS3 so its not like the characters have died to us – just fade away.

“Hoarders” are usually just slobs

like 1% of the “Hoarders” on that show are actually Hoarders. the rest are just fkking lazy ass slobs.

id like to see a show that goes around rewarding hard workers who have nothing and giving them real opportunity like a job or position that utilizes a skill they have instead of just a thing – extreme makeover home edition rocks socks. Hoarders is nothing but annoyance.

And Now An Important Piece on Sarah Palins Boobs

Getting to the bottom of the issues that really affect the country and the world: investigating the accusation that a former politician and present commentator had breast implants since her rack looks bigger in one picture than it does in another from several years ago before she had her most recent child (people familiar with body changes pertaining to pregnancy found the difference less suspicious).

On Fox News, Greta Van Susteren actually addressed the buzz from the blogs and actually asked Palin if she had implants. Which I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, this is wildly stupid, but on the other, if you have a guest on your show who is the subject of wildly stupid commentary you have an obligation to your viewers to create entertaining and informative content which usually consists of addressing wildly stupid commentary surrounding that guest. It’s more a sign of the emerging prominence of foolish focal points leaking into areas of otherwise serious journalism and current event commentary than it is anything Greta did wrong but it’s still bizarre to the point where even Palin has to acknowledge as much by prefacing her answer to the question with a “bless your heart” style sugar coated way of saying “I can’t believe you actually just said that you crazy b*tch”….

“Clean up and save a whale or something instead of reporting on such stupid things like that”.

Bill O’Reilly’s comment after playing the clip is my reaction exactly. We are now at a place in news media where anchors are delivering hard questions such as “Boob job. Did you have one??”. Oy…
