Roger Ebert Backtracks On Ryan Dunn Tweets!


Roger Ebert caused a bit of controversy yesterday when he scolded deceased Jackass star Ryan Dunn yesterday via Twitter for allegedly being drunk during the crash that took his life, as well as Zachary Hartwell's, and now, the movie critic has taken to his blog to clarify and somewhat apologize for his insensitivity!
He writes:

Courtney Love Gives Photographer Tongue


As classy as always, C Love!
Courtney Love was approached by some paparazzi while at JFK airport yesterday and as you can see by the pic, it was a pleasant encounter. As she scurried past the photographers, she shared her distaste for them by way of her tongue.
Charming! And, how old are we?

No UK Still For Savage


We kinda wonder what it's like not to have such a hateful and homophobic person be allowed to spread himself in your country.


While we're all for free speech, we can't help but like the idea of what the UK has imposed upon American shock-jock Michael Savage (real name Michael Weiner was changed — because doesn't Savage sound much more badass?). Not only that, but it looks like the UK has no intention of lifting the ban, either.


Here's the latest info:


In the latest communiqué from the British government, Michael Atkins, writing on behalf of the U.K.'s treasury solicitor, told Savage's London-based attorney, "Your client has not provided any evidence to show that he did not commit the unacceptable behaviour" that prompted the "decision to exclude him, nor has your client provided any acceptable evidence to show his repudiation of those unacceptable behaviours."


Atkins said Savage can do nothing at the moment to affect his status and must wait until December, when the decision is scheduled for review.


Savage has the 3rd most listened to radio show in the States. Either people really dig what he's saying, or most people just want to hear what he's going to say next as a form of entertainment. We hope it's the latter.


We'll see what happens come December!


Do U think he should be banned?

Jem And The Holograms Returns To TV

Earlier today we learned that the 90′s music video show Pop-Up Video is returning to VH1 this Summer but right now I want to take you back a little further. The Hub is bringing back the 80′s animated TV series Jem and the Holograms this weekend with a marathon airing of the show’s first 6 [...]

Yesterday we saw an amazing poster of Harry Potter from the upcoming, absolutely FINAL HP film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 and today we get to see the Hermione Granger poster for the film. Much like the Harry poster, this new poster of Hermione features a concerned and battle-weary expression. Check out the poster in full below.




Hermione rules. I have to admit … she is my favorite character of the Harry Potter bunch. Yes, Harry is the star but Hermione‘s cleverness and intelligence is really the most appealing thing for me about these characters. She may be the brains of the operation but she’s also the heart. I love this poster. I love Hermione ;D

Modern Classical Music

Over a meal, I had a friend wax philosophic about this new band "Cut Copy". He said it was this great French band that sounded a lot like Joy Division. Once I got home, I noodled around on Google and saw a video of them performing on the Jimmy Fallon show. These guys were performing some amazing music, but there was this guy wearing a gorilla outfit. I'm not sure what that was about, but he was going nuts on the tom toms. I think it distracted a bit from the song, but it definitely got my attention, so I decided to do some more digging.

Watch: NBC Releases An Unaired Justin Timberlake Skit From Saturday Night Live

Justin Timberlake hosted the season finale episode of Saturday Night Live over the weekend and, for the most part, won praise for his pretty funny comic stylings. During the ep’s dress rehearsal, a skit was performed that did NOT make it to air during the network broadcast … which is a shame because the skit [...]

Last month we got to check out the first official movie poster for the very last Harry Potter film, due out in theaters next month. Today we get to check out the second poster release for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 which features a battle-worn Harry looking very much worse for the wear. With the tagline, IT ALL ENDS, Warner Bros. wants you to be well aware that this is THE END.



“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” is the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. The much-anticipated motion picture event is the second of two full-length parts. In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort.


It all ends here.


“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, reprising their roles as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The film’s ensemble cast also includes Helena Bonham Carter, Jim Broadbent, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Matthew Lewis, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright. The film was directed by David Yates, who also helmed the blockbusters “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.” David Heyman, the producer of all of the Harry Potter films, produced the film, together with David Barron. Screenwriter Steve Kloves adapted the screenplay, based on the book by J.K. Rowling. Lionel Wigram is the executive producer. Behind the scenes, the creative team was led by director of photography Eduardo Serra, production designer Stuart Craig, editor Mark Day, composer Alexandre Desplat, visual effects supervisor Tim Burke, and costume designer Jany Temime. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Heyday Films production, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which marks the last installment in the most successful film franchise of all time. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” will be released worldwide in theatres and IMAX, in 3D and 2D, beginning July 15, 2011.”


Oh man … OH MAN … the end is SO near! I suspect we’ll be seeing posters of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley as well as other HP characters. This is a great poster. I am SO dreading the end of Harry Potter but, woo, I am loving the promo stuff we’ve been given thus far.

Well, helloooooo, Harry Potter!


On Friday, Daniel Radcliffe was on hand for the Drama League Awards ceremony and luncheon at the Marriot Marquis in New York. Dapper DanRad presented the award for Distinguished Production of a Musical, looking exceptionally handsome and not at all peeved that he didn't receive a nomination.


We kid, we kid. He's got to clock a few more hours on the Great White Way before that happens. Still, he has promise…and he's such a little stud!


What needs to happen now is that after Business is over, he needs to star in a new movie that requires him to bulk up a little bit. Then, UGH, he'll be unstoppable!!!


Loves him!!!

Musical Instruments The Keyboard

A variety of factors help determine the most appropriate type of drums and percussions to choose from before making a purchase. Therefore, it is important to know the different types available in the market and what they are specifically meant for. In addition, having some basic knowledge on the history of any musical instrument provides a better experience.

Life As a Script Reader

The greatest artistic creative genius I've ever seen, have been those who can turn garbage into art. Not just gluing together junk, but really making waste into something unique, cool, and well, something you'd put into your home for instance. There's something to be said about recycling and repurposing of those items we commonly throw away.

Wedding Bands 5 Tips You Must Follow

Guitars are a musical instrument from the string family. For over a thousand years, guitars have helped to bring new elements to music, shape new genres, and uniquely express the player. Usually, guitars have six strings which are plucked while notes are formed by finger placements on the neck of the instrument. Variations of guitars include Classical & Nylon String Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, Acoustic-Electric Guitars, and Electric Guitars.

My All Time Favourite 10cc Songs

An article about this wonderful aria from Mozart's opera "Figaro" which I truly feel is one of Mozart's finest. This despite not getting the attention it deserves given the number of great arias to be found in Mozart's opera "Figaro". "Via, Resti Servita, Madama Brillante" being about two nice ladies, competing for the affections of the same man and basically hurling polite insults at each other. This as the two of them argue over who should exit the room first.

Available exclusively on the deluxe edition of, Fashion Of His Love is one of the first songs GaGa wrote for the new album - and it is, in our opinion, easily one of the best!


It is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart! It is ear porn! It is love and happiness and hope all bottled into one exquisite package!


To us, it's very reminiscent of old school Whitney. Think I Wanna Dance With Somebody 2011.

Hayden Panettiere Wladmir Klitschko Are Dunzo!

Sadly, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli aren’t the only celebrity couple calling it quits this week … actress Hayden Panettiere and her ginormous boyfriend Wladmir Klitschko have also decided to end their relationship. Altho the couple have only been together for about 2 years, everything seemed peachy keen in their relationship. Unfortch, it just wasn’t [...]

Actor Leonarod DiCaprio and his longtime supermodel girlfriend Bar Refaeli have decided to end their relationship. The couple have been together for the better part of 5 years (except for that 6 month break they took apart a few years ago) and it was widely believed that Leo and Bar would end up saying I Do eventually. Apparently a marriage was not meant to be because clearly the couple couldn’t make a serious go of it. Leo and Bar are dunzo, y’all!



It’s the end of the road, once again, for Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaelii. The Hollywood superstar, 36, and the Israeli supermodel, 25, who had been together for five years – minus a six-month break halfway through – have called it quits, a source confirms to PEOPLE. The pair began dating in the spring of 2006, and tried to keep their romance low profile despite their stardom. They split in 2009, but were back together the following year. Refaeli later said she was grateful for that six-month break – that she “grew up” during that time apart and learned not to fear being alone.


HMMM … even tho many people thought these two would get married, I was never convinced. Leonardo DiCaprio does not strike me as the kind of guy who is likely to take a wife. He does not seem like husband material to me. If I had to make a wild assumption and guess what caused the split, I’d have to say that Bar prolly wanted to get married and Leo did not. Perhaps Bar wanted to start a family and Leo did not. Of course, I have no way of knowing for sure … but I can see Leonardo DiCaprio as a lifelong bachelor. It’s a shame that the couple couldn’t make their relationship work but, in the end, it’s prolly for the best that the couple split up now.

Oprah Winfrey, the woman who literally has it all, was honored in her adopted hometown of Chicago, IL by outgoing mayor Richard Daley with a street named in her honor. The street directly in front of Oprah‘s Harpo Studios in Chicago has been renamed as Oprah Winfrey Way in honor of her 25 successful years in the Windy City. Oprah happily appeared at the ceremony yesterday where her street name was unveiled, check out some photos and some deets about this honor below.



On Wednesday, outgoing Chicago Mayor Richard Daley gave another departing Chicago institution, Oprah Winfrey, a civic version of a parting gift: Her own street. Daley, who will leave office next week after more than 22 years, honored Winfrey by naming a block in front of Harpo Studios “Oprah Winfrey Way.” Winfrey is ending her own two-decade-plus run as host of her Chicago-based television show. “Your presence in Chicago has been a gift …” Daley said, moments before the cover was pulled off the sign that stands in front of the studio’s main entrance, calling Winfrey “a great ambassador for our city.” Winfrey was equally effusive about Daley and her adopted hometown. “I just want to say thank you to the mayor and also to the city of Chicago for embracing me and allowing me to take a stand and make a stand here in this city,” said Winfrey. Winfrey is the latest of well over 1,200 celebrities, religious leaders, activists and others who have been honored with street signs in Chicago. The list includes Michael Jordan, Siskel and Ebert, Frank Sinatra — who has two — and the geniuses behind Chicago-style hot dogs and pizza. More than 100 people crowded onto the block and dozens more stood behind police barricades that blocked both ends of the street in one of the best attended ceremonies since the city started honoring people with the signs in the early 1980s … Winfrey told the crowd about coming to Chicago in 1984 to host a morning talk show, “A.M. Chicago,” and how she fell in love with the city and decided quickly that if she didn’t get the job she would find a job, perhaps in advertising, just so she could stay. Winfrey said having a street named after her was “better than an Oscar or an Emmy.” “It is really just a full circle, miracle story,” she said, “that a little colored girl born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on a red dirt road ends up with my name on a street in the greatest city in the world, Chicago.”


I mean … Oprah has countless awards, massive amounts of money, her OWN television network … why not add a street to her collection of accomplishments. I can’t say that I’m at all surprised that Oprah got her own street name … in fact, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the entire city of Chicago were renamed after her. There is no doubt, Oprah Winfrey has enjoyed HUGE success in Chicago and she has shared much of her success with the city that has been so good to her. After 25 years in the biz there, it totally makes sense that Chicago, IL is now home to Oprah Winfrey Way.

James Brown: A Strict Disciplinarian, a Brilliant Songwriter, and the Night He Saved Boston

You'll find factors to consider when buying online concert tickets. A very important factor that consumers needs to be wary of could be that the company that they go through should not be one who gives numerous fees. Different fees can easily add up quickly. Consumers should be very cautious to read the small print, to be sure they are making the best decision.
