Sean Young Keeps It Real

January 30, 2008 By: refrieds Category: current events No Comments →

During the DGA Awards, director Julian Schnabel of Diving Bell and the Butterfly took a little too long to give his speech. Was he caught up in the moment or just trying to be profound in his dramatic pauses? Whatever the case may be, Sean Young wasn’t having it:

Eventually, she was kicked out. Fortunately for her, she took full advantage of the open bar and kickstarted her career without being tased. We can all learn a lot from Sean Young.

Why Heath Ledger O.D.’ed and Britney Spears Never Will

January 22, 2008 By: refrieds Category: current events No Comments →

According to reports, Heath Ledger was found dead of a drug overdose in SoHo, NY at 3:35 PM. He seemed to be boss in The Dark Knight movie as Joker and supposedly locked himself in a room to get into character. Hopefully, there weren’t any residual mental effects resulting from the method acting getting into role:

To prepare for the role he lived alone in a hotel room for a month, formulating the character’s posture, voice and psychology. While he initially found it difficult, Ledger was eventually able to generate a voice which did not sound like Jack Nicholson’s take on the character in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman film. He started a diary, in which he wrote the Joker’s thoughts and feelings to guide himself during his performance. The challenge of the role put a strain on Ledger’s sleep patterns, finding himself unable to rest for more than a few hours each night

So many folks write about how Britney Spears is gonna die of an overdose. What they fail to remember is THIS is how people who O.D. normally go out. Not attention whoring or begging for paparazzi to document their despair. They go out alone, without seeking notice, which is why we’ll never see Britney go out like this. She lives for the tabloids, not the drugs.

Hillary Clinton Alive And Well

When I read the following HEADLINE in my Google Reader, I was taken aback…until I actually read the STORY:

Mourners Pay Respects To Hillary

Three Kings Beefin’ With Santa

December 19, 2007 By: refrieds Category: current events No Comments →

Christmas just got dangerous.

In a Spanish video, Santa gets beat down in an alley by a guy in blackface and his posse (posing as the Three Kings) for being a sellout that victimizes elves. At the end, Santa is laying face down in a pool of his own blood. Murdered by a machine gun attack.

Don’t believe me?

See it for yourself here:

First, the King of Spain goes crazy on Hugo Chavez and now this?  I guess the Madrid terror attacks caused a lot more psychological damage than previously anticipated.

Before you get all self-righteous and worry about how these sluts are a sign of the apocalypse, remember another child star who made these young strumpets seem like Mother Theresa:

Until Hannah Montana OD’s on valium and robs a store at gunpoint, like Dana, I don’t wanna hear it!

Gaddafi’s Killer Virgins

gaddafi girlsIf you’re an infamous international leader and you need protection, who do you call?

How about thirty killer virgins?  It works for Muammar Gaddafi:

His personal unit of female guards clad in camouflage uniforms, who will protect him around the clock, are trained killers.

Forget about tracking down renegade Russian nuclear scientists, the CIA needs to keep tabs on Gaddaffi guards who lose their virginity!

Oscar De La Hoya Rubber Match With Stripper

November 15, 2007 By: refrieds Category: current events 1 Comment →

oscar de la hoya A while back, photos of Oscar de la Hoya in drag popped up all over these here Internets.  Mario Lopez defended his buddy by suggesting photoshop.  Then the stripper in the photo claimed that they were real and magnificent.

It was a stalemate.  Oscar won one bout and the stripper won the rematch.

In the world of boxing, we’d have a third and conclusive bout called the rubber match.

Apparently, the stripper is a fan of boxing, and has returned to settle the score:

“The stunning Siberian-born stripper who sold widely circulated pictures of boxer Oscar de la Hoya strutting his stuff in drag will file a $100 million lawsuit today against the “Golden Boy” charging him with unleashing a smear campaign against her to stop the photos from emerging, The Post has learned.

Smoking-hot Milana Dravnel, 22, will file the papers this morning in Manhattan state Supreme Court against de la Hoya and two unnamed defendants for alleged fraud, defamation, interference with contract, infliction of emotional distress and undue influence, her lawyer said.”

Just what we need after watching the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm and learning that the WGA strike means less Prison Break and Heroes.

STRIPPERGATE!

Cheerleading Ain’t Easy!

October 30, 2007 By: refrieds Category: current events 3 Comments →

When the cheerleader on Heroes was given the power to heal from any injury, a lot of viewers rolled their eyes. 

“What does she need that for?  Falling off the top of the pyramid? Too many backflips? Team trains?”

Unfortunately for cheerleaders, danger lurks behind every banner:

Shaolin Monk vs Fashion Model

As a fan of both fashion and the martial arts, I’ve always wondered…

Which style is better? Shaolin Monk or Fashion Model?

Fortunately, we now have an answer:

HA HA HA!  Model style is no match for the power of Shaolin!

Comedian Tears Fall On Deaf Ears

October 17, 2007 By: refrieds Category: current events 2 Comments →

A number of professions have commitments which require sacrificing things that other people enjoy. 

Animal rights activists disavow fur. Politicians forego privacy. Priests give up sex…with adult women.

No one talks about the plight of the comedian.

Take Ellen Degeneres.  She’s funny and always begins her show with a dance party.  When she started yesterday’s episode looking depressed and while talking about her doggie problems, people weren’t sure what to make of it:

Some folks thought it was the set up for a joke:

Call me insensitive, but am I the only person in America who wasn’t moved by Ellen DeGeneres’s on-air breakdown over her hairdresser’s dog?…As the surreal situation unfolded, I kept waiting for the punchline — but it soon became clear that there wasn’t one.

That is the true price for being a clown.  Ask Michael Richards when he was on Letterman.

And there’s nothing comedians can do about it.

As soon as a Comedian Serious Broadcast System (AKA ‘CSBS’) is implemented to let the audience know the comedian is not joking, the CSBS will probably cause more laughs than the deadpan delivery of bad news.

And even if the CSBS works, it would only be a matter of time before other comedians eviscerate whatever serious value it once had…like Britney Spears. 

As a result, no one will ever take a comedian seriously again.

Tears of a clown indeed…
