“Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't” - Colin Farrel, “In Bruges”
"In Bruges" was up for a Best Screenplay Oscar this year, and it was a very solid – if not politically correct – movie that I recently bought for $3.99, which was a steal. Anyway, I’m ready for the weekend, but before I can leave the office, I’ve got work to do and stories to report, so let’s look at the hard ones of the week such as:
Melissa Fox and Brian Austin Green have reportedly called off their engagement, US Weekly reported. The couple have dated since 2004, announced their engagement in 2006, and also sport tattoos with each other’s names on them.
This news completely makes up for Salma Hayek getting married last week, and gives me hope for the future.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were married Thursday in a small, private ceremony in Santa Monica, California, according to PEOPLE magazine.
Just when Megan Fox restores karmic order to the word, Gisele Bundchen has to screw it up by getting married.
Vivid Entertainment – a well-known porn studio – made a $1 million offer this week to “Octo-Mom” Nadya Suleman to make an adult movie.
According to TMZ.com, the president of the pornography studio, Steven Hirsch, says the company would release the film under their "Vivid-Celeb imprint, which has released titles starring such personalities as Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, and most recently, former Miss USA Kelli MCarty."
The site also reports that the company is offering her family dental and health care if she agrees to star in a series of films.
The deal is literally a tit for tat arrangement, oral work gets Suleman oral care and so on and so forth.
The woman riding with Morgan Freeman the night of a car crash which injured both of them filed a lawsuit citing negligence against the actor, and insists she was never romantically linked to Freeman.
"I have been labeled as the other woman and have been accused of having caused the breakup of Mr. Freeman's marriage," Meyer said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. I had hoped and prayed that Mr. Freeman or his representatives would have set the record straight and cleared my name, but they have not done so and that is why I have chosen to come forward to tell the truth about our relationship."
She later added, “Now I hope and pray I receive a lot of money for no good reason at all.”
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who welcomed daughter Harlow on Jan. 11, 2008, have announced they are now expecting another child.
"What's better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister!" Madden wrote on his website. "God has truly blessed my family. Hope you're all feeling as good as I am right now."
God has also blessed their household with abundant access to food, but Richie rarely takes advantage of the bounty.
In other food news, Nicky Hilton made a citizen’s arrest over the weekend at an International House of Pancakes restaurant.
Access Hollywood reported that Hilton was leaving the International House of Pancakes in West Hollywood on Saturday when Michael Broadhurst, 50, allegedly pushed her from behind. A sheriff’s deputy inside the restaurant came out to check on what he referred to as a “commotion” and found Hilton placing the man under a “private person’s arrest.”
Ignoring the fact that Hilton weighs 87 lbs. soaking wet and couldn’t place a large cat under arrest, what the hell was she doing at IHOP anyway? She must have been drunk or just loves the rooty-tutty fresh n fruity like nobody’s business.
Chris Brown enrolled in anger management classes this week as the R&B singer, who was arrested two weeks ago on suspicion of making criminal threats against Rihanna, attended his first class on Monday afternoon.
By 1:41 p.m. on Monday afternoon, Brown became enraged that the class would not be screening “Anger Management” with Adam Sandler and trashed the place before accessing his NetFlix account on the way out the door.
As always, let’s end with a gold image or two to set the mood for the weekend:
It seemed like a fine day to add some color and nipples to the standard mix. So, wear something bright today, keep everything pointed up and . . . Happy Friday!
-BDS
I've heard that IHOP gives away free pancakes on Pancake Tuesday, which was this past week. Maybe she was there for some free grub.
Quick Heff Friday !
What can I say - tattooing each others names is often the kiss of death. I personally always tried to avoid women with the last name "Fox" as well.
So Tom Brady finally made his mind up, huh ? Not neccessarily on marriage, but on a specific woman to knock up in the future.
Vivid Entertainment. Pretty familiar with their work, lol. If Suleman takes the gig, it'll be the perfect time to resurrect the movie title "Octopussy".
They can say what they will, but I'm pretty sure Morgan Freeman was "Driving Ms Daisy" !
As far as Nicole Richie goes, I just hope nobody comes up with the reality show Idea "The Simple Family".
Michael Broadhurst was simply showing affection for Nicky Hilton. I'd "push her from behind" as well, HOPING for arrest. Handcuffs a plus....
Chris Brown should probably enroll in a "Career Managment" class, as I feel his career will be hitting the shitter soon.
And in closing, "Pointing Up, Sir !!!"
WhatIgot - I heard that as well, but I think Hilton's run-in was prior to the pancake giveaway. Regardless, she can probably afford them unless the economy has really hit the Hiltons.
Heff - Nice work. I would tattoo Fox's name on several places if we were dating, 'Octopussy' was my favorite as I should have thought of that one, agree on Richie, almost used a handcuff joke on that Hilton story myself and keep em pointed high the entire weekend. Have a good one.
In Bruges for $3.99?!?! I'm going to start scouring the bargain bins. Love that movie, love Colin Farrell! Can't imagine why Bunchen OR Brady would get married, but that's just me. Maybe they're both so high maintinence it's a good fit. Having a good chuckle over the thought of Hilton in an IHOP, then laugh out loud that some dufus was shoving her around. Pancake hunting can be trecherous. Happy Friday!!
I can see it now...
Put OctoMom in an octopus costume and have her give 8 handjobs at once.
In Bruges is a favorite of mine. It is the only loss this year I cared enough about to get upset over. But then, we've discussed Brenden Gleeson and all that so...
Have a great weekend.
I find hard to believe Colin Farrel was in a movie that was nominated for ANYTHING, but I'll take a look at IN BRUGES.
And I'm with HEFF on the whole Tattoo thing. What's wrong with picking out a nice little ring to symbolize love? It can be sold afterwards for a lot less pain/suffering of tat removel.
Have a great weekend!
Linda – Happy Friday to you. I found “In Bruges” for that price at a local Blockbuster, which was crazy because to simply rent the movie at the same location it cost $5.32. Seriously. And yes, I found the image of Hilton being pushed around the pancake house quite amusing. Ha.
Idobcool – I don’t want to see that at all. Ha. But it does make a certain amount of sense. I bet, however, nothing ever comes of this. Happy Friday.
Nobich – Happy Friday right back at you.
Bostonpobble – The only one I got upset about was Rourke losing to Penn (even though I like Penn quite a bit). I’m looking forward to watching ‘Bruges’ again as I’m sure I missed some things the first time around. Have a great weekend.
Boxer – You should take a look a ‘Bruges’ as Farrel won a Golden Globe this year for the film (not sure if he deserved it or not). That being said, I love ‘Miami Vice’ for no discernible reason, and Farrel rocked a awesome mustache in that one. As for the tattoos, it makes no sense at all, always works out poorly and yet people continue to do it. Selah. Have a great weekend yourself & here’s hoping for some decent weather out your way.
I really thought Nicole Ritchie had got her shit together since she became a parent but judging by that pic the old eating disorder seems to be evident again. That's a shame because for some reason I like her.
Brian Austin Green seems to be a serial engagement junkie and can never seem to quite get over the hump to go that next step. I'm thinking panic attack....
Happy Friday B and those last 3 images were gold.
Just a note about the IHOP free pancakes - It's always on 'fat Tuesday' and they give away free pancakes and in return hope that customer's will make a donation to Children's Miracle Network.
That is so funny that there is a post about that here - I work for the local CMN in my state!
Happy Friday, and side note - Brian Austin Green seriously had to have known he could never actually score Megan Fox forever. She is way out of his league.
That was my favorite line from In Bruges. Fantastic!
Megan Fox is hot.
Tom Brady is lucky.
Does Suleman really count as a 'celebrity'? Methinks not. Just hearing about that makes me glad I don't watch porn.
Morgan Freeman said "I wish I could tell you that [Other Woman] fought the good fight, and my driving let her be. I wish I could tell you that - but this is no fairy-tale world." in response to her statement. Or not.
I used to think Nicole Richie was hot. Not anymore. She looks kind of like Skeletor.
IHOP is too ghetto for a poor guy like me, so I can't imagine why Nicky Hilton would be there. From now on I'm going to start making citizens arrests on everyone that pisses me off or gets in my way though.
Does it mean I'm completely out of the loop if I'd never even heard of Chris Brown or his "white hot career" until this incident?
And, thanks for the closing pics, as always.
Romany Angel - Glad you liked the last 3 as I found them each separately, and yet, they just seemed to go together. I like Richie far more than Paris Hilton, but that's not saying too much. And as for Green, it was definitely Fox's decision, but I still have to give that guy credit as he has a track record that is second to none in the industry (Fox, Vanessa Marcil, Tiffany Amber Thiesson). Amazing. Happy Friday.
Kmwthay - That's interesting about the IHOP deal - I had no idea, so thanks for that information sharing. It's also great about the donation as I figured/hoped it would go towards something that could do some good. That all being said, the Hilton piece is still so damn bizarre. Ha. And yes, I agree 100% about Green/Fox as it was only a matter of time. Happy Friday.
Native Minnow - As always, appreciate the detail, so: Fox is the best thing in Hollywood (looks-wise (sp?) in my opinion), Suleman isn't one in my book as I wish she would go away forever, loved the nod to 'Shawshank Redemption,' I've always thought making a citizen's arrest would be a hell of a lot of fun, Brown's career was missed on me (although I knew who he was) and finally, glad you enjoyed the pics. Have a good weekend.
I still haven't seen "In Bruges" but have pondered it many times. Since the Oscar nomination I have been more interested in seeing it.
I wish "Octomom" would just fucking go away. She is a whack job who deserves no publicity whatsoever.
And finally, IHop rocks. When I am a millionaire, I will still eat there ;)
First pic: Well composed and artsy.
Second pic: Tacky
Third pic: Dull
When TMZ aired the Melissa Fox/Green break-up they had a 2 min montage of men cheering, it was hilarious!
( I saw the wrestler by the way....meh, didn't love the ending but the rest of the movie was good)
Jlee - I should have remebered that you would side with Hilton on that one. Ha. And I completely agree about Octomom as I hope very soon that we don't hear anything else about her (and I don't want to see the movie either).
TheTroll - The first pic was my favorite, I enjoyed the second one and the last one was very static because she was just laying there looking tired.
Miss Ash - That's funny about the Fox thing as I know people (men) around the office were thrilled at the propsect even though the chances of them moving to LA & dating her are roughly the same as winning the lottery. Ha. As for 'Wrestler,' I liked the ending as it was great when 'Sweet Child of Mine' kicked in and he came out from behind the curtain.
