Friday Poll

Well Friday is here, that means it's poll day!

With the recent announcement that a live action version of the board game Candy Land will soon be hitting theaters, I want to ask this week what board game would you like to see made into a movie? (Clue was already made so you can't say that! and if you haven't seen the movie version of Clue you have to! It's hilarious!!)

More Mar Movie Madness!!!!

Well it's no longer just a rumor, everyone's favorite NYC foursome will be returning for part II. Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, & Charlotte will be returning to the big screen for a Sex and the City Sequel.

Remember the board game Candy Land? Well it's now coming to a mega-plex near you. Apparently Hollywood is making a live-action version of the game. Might I recommend my dear friend Jena Pugh for the role of Princess Lolly? She has a mean lollipop tiara!

Richard I Never Knew You Were A Dick!!!

Every one's favorite Dick, Dick Cheney that is, emerged from his subzero cave on Tuesday to give an interview in which he said that there is a high probability of a nuclear or biological attack happening in the U.S. in the next few years.

Wow where would we as a country be without Dick Cheney there to scare the shit out of us on a regular basis? It's nice to see that Dick is still taking the time to issue grave warnings, even though he is no longer Dictator oops I mean Vice President.

Jon Stewart summed up Dick's statements best in this segment last night.

Before you get Excited...

President Obama has nominated Republican New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg to be his Secretary of Commerce. Now for all you Democrats out there, like me, who are saying BUT WAIT! ISN'T THE GOVERNOR OF NEW HAMPSHIRE A DEMOCRAT!??!!? So Doesn't that mean that a DEMOCRAT will be appointed to replace Senator Gregg, making the Democratic Senate count 60? 60 as in that magic number the Democrats need to be at in order to be filibuster proof?!?! Unfortunately no, apparently a deal was worked out to make sure that New Hampshire Governor John Lynch would be appointing a Republican to Gregg's Senate seat. And that Republican has already been appointed, her name is Bonnie Lynch and she is a former Dean of Students at the University of New Hampshire.

I know, I know Dems, this is mighty disappointing, believe me I had on my party hat last night and was in the process of hanging up streamers when sadly I was informed that the Democrats were not meant to reach the lovely number of 60 this year.

Daschle Withdraws Cabinet Bid

Former Senator Tom Daschle has withdrawn his bid to become Secretary of Health and Human Services. Daschle came under fire recently when it was revealed he had failed to pay over $120,000 in taxes.

Eat Pray Love

The film rights to one of my favorite books Eat Pray Love are about to be picked up by Columbia Pictures, and Julia Roberts is set to star.

Forgive me friends for picking on "America's Sweetheart" but JULIA ROBERTS seriously!?? There have got to be other actresses out there who would play the role of Elizabeth a million times better than Julia Roberts could. I for one am thinking Kate Winslet would be phenomenal in the role. Any other suggestions?

Christian Bale's Epic Meltdown

For those of you who read the gossip blogs you probably have already heard about Christian Bale's explosion on the set of Terminator: Salvation. It seems Mr. Bale forgot to leave the character of Patrick Bateman behind when filming wrapped on American Psycho.

Mar's Monday Movie Madness

Taken starring Liam Neeson was number one at the box office this weekend taking in 24.6 million. Coming in second place was the number one movie of the past two weeks Paul Blart: Mall Cop. You know just as I thought Americans were getting smarter, I have lost my faith in them once again. I mean really people, you made Paul Blart: Mall Cop the number one movie of the last two weeks, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!??!? I would rather watch fifteen Valerie Bertinelli Lifetime movies in a row than go see Paul Blart: Mall Cop, but maybe thats just me.

The first review of He's Just not That Into You is out today in Variety, and unfortunately it's not a good one.

Footballs, Divas, & Groundhogs

Good Morning!! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

The world's most the famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning which, according to legend, means six more weeks of this already awful winter. UGH!

The Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl last night 27-23 against the Arizona Cardinals. Proving my blog friends wrong who 3-1 predicted a Cardinals win. Sorry guys!

Finally, The Smithsonian Museum is begging Aretha Franklin to give them that famous ahem infamous hat she wore while performing at President Obama's inauguration. Is the Smithsonian doing an exhibit on celebrity fashion mistakes, can we expect Bjork to be donating that duck outfit she wore a few years ago to some awards ceremony in LA?
