Melrose Place RETURNS!

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Yes, it’s true.  Your prayers have been answered.  As if Gossip Girl wasn’t enough to numb your brain while sterilizing you through your eyes, the CW has chosen to resurrect the ultimate trashtastic tv drama dinosaur.  No, not Falcon Crest… MELROSE PLACE… and it’s coming this fall!  All I can really say is, it better not go up against The Hills… Honestly, if given the choice between a revamped version of the worst show in television history, or the current version of the worst reality show in television history, I’m gonna have to start breaking skulls! Believe that! 
As a refresher… Who remembers when Amanda (Heather Locklear) became an alcoholic (no, not in real life), or when Marcia Cross (as Dr. Kimberly Shaw) lost her shit (like Susan Boyle), or when Brooke (Kristin Davis) got crunk, smacked her head and drowned!? Speaking of Heather Locklear, who remembers those ‘business suits’ she borrowed from Jessica Hahn to wear to work?  She was a VERY successful Ad Executive… 
I’m not exactly sure what the deal is in terms of story line, but I think they’re using the same characters with younger actors, a move which has stirred concern among “Melrose fanatics” (also, Melrose fanatics… WHAT?!).  I wouldn’t be too concerned, guys.  The CW could cast Rick James (RIP) as Mr. Winkle’s love interest then have them broken up by Underdog from Howard Stern and it’d still seem believable taken in the context of the other totally insane shit that’s about to take place.
Anyhow, don’t forget to set your DVRs and fireproof your children.  I, for one, can’t wait to curl up with that special someone and soak up the brain food!

Susan Boyle Goes Bananas / Might Be Brian Dennehy

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Overnight worldwide phenomenon, 47 year old singer Susan Boyle is finding out that fame might not be all she’d imagined.  Amid reports of a meltdown during the final stages of Britain’s Got Talent, news is now surfacing that Susan has been placed in a “safe house”.  YIKES! I wonder what kind of a “safe house” Simon Cowell was able to provide.  He’s got lots of big time Hollywood pals!  Hm, I know one house that’s recently lost some residents, but I’m sure it’s still close quarters up in the Spelling’s shanty.  Imagine if Candy Spelling was put in charge of caring for “Susan” during this crazy time!?  ”Don’t worry, Susan… You’re a fabulous talent, even though you murdered my husband… It’s time for your blood letting as soon as I finish consuming this giant diamond…”
It must be super overwhelming for “Susan” to go from being an everyday Scotswoman one day, to all of a sudden becoming a stratospherically famous celebrity overnight.  Not easy, guys!  Unless of course, Susan Boyle isn’t who she says she is at all… 
Let’s analyze the facts here, people.  Maybe “Susan” isn’t such a stranger to fame.  Perhaps she’s been performing in film and on stage for decades… Think her onstage bravado is god given?  Well let me ask you this… When’s the last time you saw Brian Dennehy out and about? Hm!? Perhaps he woke up one morning and said… “I’m not sure I want to ‘Brian Dennehy’ anymore… Maybe I’ll grow a mustache, grab some Grecian Formula and start calling me-self ‘Susan Boyle’!  Ay, laddie!”… Sounds plausible to me… 
In all seriousness… “Susan” (Brian), whoever you are… You are truly gifted and I have faith in the fact that you will win Britain’s Got Talent and go on to a glorious (second) career.  Once this media storm is over, it’s important for you to take some time, and maybe return to your Scottish homeland for a little R & R.  Come to think of it… As an artist, you might find a certain local gallery opening to your liking… ZING!!  I won this round, Dennehy…

Wikipedia TOPS Tom Cruise!

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

L. Ron Hubbard’s best-selling science fiction fable, Scientology, has been getting its ass kicked all over space this week.  No, really.  

Firstly, it seems France is ruling to completely dismantle their regional chapter of the organization (“Haw, haw, haw, Cheri”)… and now Wikipedia’s jumping into the ring?  Xenu can’t catch a break! 
Picture those scenes in Alien where Sigourney Weaver jumps into that huge machine and sucker punches the Alien in the face in order to save “Newt”... That’s what it was like, except the Arbitration Committee at Wikipedia gets to play Ripley and everyone on earth (besides batshit crazy alien eaters) are Newt!  Wikipedia, you’re Butch!
It turns out that the free online encyclopedia, which happens to be the 8th most popular site on the internet (click here to see #1… with a BULLET!), felt it necessary to ban all IP addresses associated with the “religion” in order to prevent them from pushing their own alien agenda.  After a six-month deliberation, the committee turned out a vote of 10 – 0, with no abstention… OUCH!  
But look, just because the “religion” itself can no longer dominate Wikipedia with propaganda, nutcase ramblings, and threats doesn’t mean that individual Scientologists can’t enjoy the site.  Why, only this morning, I came across these comments left by concerned members of the Scientology community.  
Dear Wikipedia, 
You are a JERK, man, ok? Also, there are some mistakes in your entry about Tom Cruise.  He isn’t a homosexual, in fact he’s married… To a woman, a Wo-Mannn.  So you might wanna change that.  You wanna see a straight guy in action?  Rent Risky Business… I got three words for you… He-Te-Ro… Somebody get Mimi Rogers on the phone!  Talk about a marriage that definitely was NOT a sham!! POW… BAM, BAM, BAM!
Dear Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, 
Wee wop zee zooop lim lickin’ zizzle.  Me no remembuh mama papa po beep boop. ZAP…
Respectfully, 
Wikipedia,
McRib returns to Mcdonalds June 15 through August 8… put that on Wikipedia.
Dear anyone,
Help, these people are fuckin’ crazy -

"Pussy" Natural Energy Drink: Inhibition Is A Recipe For Mediocrity

Friday, May 29th, 2009

No, this is really happening.  I swear.  I actually feel like I can’t move my legs.  Yup, I’m in shock.  According to the drink’s website, “Pussy is spontaneous, entertaining, optimistic and fun – Pussy believes in having a good time as often as possible… Pussy is NOT about being serious, chemical energy, having a corporate attitude, or being predictable.”  

The brainchild of energy drink pervert, Jonnie Shearer, Pussy is a refreshing, captivating and lightly carbonated mix of white grape juice, limes, lychees, and herbs… 
Apparently, the P-word is all the rage in London, but still unavailable in the United States.  Yet, it seems it’s already become a mainstay amongst a select echelon of American intellectuals.  I mean, I personally never thought it could get any worse than Crunk Juice, man was I wrong.  
I think the most amazing part of the Pussy phenomenon is the way in which they’ve approached branding.  I like how the copy is written in the third person.  It’s nice to know what Pussy believes, that it’s unpredictable, and (my personal favorite) OPTIMISTIC.  That’s always been one of my favorite things about Ol’ Puss… it’s a real glass-half-full type of thang!

Keanu Reeves Has 400 Canadian Children, Aye!?

Friday, May 29th, 2009

There are certain things parents can rely on to tell their children before bedtime… Stories and anecdotes that seek to calm the soon-to-slumber tot, while reaffirming a weary parent’s faith in the world into which they’ve brought a child… As of today, the extraordinarily comforting fact that Keanu Reeves has not procreated is shot to shit… That’s right!  It looks as if Bill… or Ted might be a daddy, several times over… to a gaggle of baby Canucks!  ”What are you talking abooot?” you might ask!

Yes, it seems the Matrix star may have fathered between 1 and 4 (Who is this guy?? Anthony Quinn?!) of a Canadian woman, Karen Sala’s, kids!  Oh no, it’s doesn’t end there!  The “kids” in question are all between the ages of 20 and 25 years old!  Yup!  According to Sala, her request for a DNA test is solely for her “children’s” emotional well-being and to seek “closure” in this matter.  Well, that whole “closure” and “identity” bullshit AND $150,000 / month in child support retroactively from June of 1998, as well as $3 miilion / month in retroactive spousal support dating back to November of 2006.  DAYUM!!  
Now, as I plug these digits into my super computer, I come up with a grand total of $152,400,000.  That’s a lot of cash!  You’re forgetting though, nobody plays dumb like Keanu Reeves… Nobody!  I bet he can skate his way right through this little bump in the road by donning that black dress he wore in the Matrix and flailing his arms as fast as he can to confuse the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Either way, I’m sure Keanu ain’t scurred.  He’s been through a lot recently, and nothing can be more emotionally scarring than that love scene he filmed with Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give…

ASIDE: If any of you decide to go back and check my math on what Keanu’s being sued for, we’re not friends anymore.  No, I’m serious because I’m not friends with nerds… So, why don’t you go hang out with your new best friend?  No, I’m serious, I hear your new best friend is waiting for you… the two of you can check math together.
