Wow, not only it is a complete shock to hear that Blink-182's Travis Parker and DJ AM were in a plane crash and survived, but it's even freakier that the other four people aboard the plane perished.
The plane was emitting sparks just after take off and on Friday September 19, 2008, and the plane went off the runway and crashed into a nearby road. Travis Barker and DJ AM were listed in critical condition after the plane crash but the two are expected to survive despite some severe burns.
Travis Barker is the former husband of Shanna Moakler and DJ AM was engaged to Nicole Richie once upon a time.
Oh Lord, it seems George Michael has a thing for bathrooms; this time he got busted for crack possession and it doesn't look like it's going to end well.
45-year-old George Michael was hanging around a popular local London park area called Hampstead Heath and got caught with crack in his possession. The cop let him off with just a warning, which is shocking, but you know that once you go crack, that's about it for your career.
So add to the fact that George Michael is already starting to look like an alien thanks to all that plastic surgery, now he's also a crackhead. Wonderful. Ah, where have the days of "Father Figure" gone?
The new James Bond 007 "Quantum Of Solace" movie trailer does not have the crash and bang action impact as the first one, but it does give some new clues to the whole "Quantum of Solace" mystery.
The film picks up an hour after the end of "Casino Royale", and revolves around the adventures of James Bond in a manipulative and dangerous mission of uncovering the truth behind the organization which blackmailed his former lover, Vesper Lynd, while fighting the urge to avenge his broken heart.
It seems that some bad guy desires "the world's most precious resource" and it's up to James Bond to stop him and his lively gang with an assortment of gut punches, flying kicks, jumping motorcycles, soaring speedboats, swooping helicopters, massive explosions, clever gadgets and the occasional look that kills.
Daniel Craig stars as the infamous James Bond, while Judi Dench heads up the Foreign Intelligence wing of Her Majesty's Secret Service as "M". The highlight of the new move trailer is when James Bond falls off a balcony while fighting with a bad guy. The lowlight is the opening segment of the clip with what looks like a high-tech car commercial.
But the plot seems to be a bit clearer now: On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, James Bond discovers that Greene (Mathieu Amalric), is conspiring to take total control of one of the worlds most important natural resources, and is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano.
Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for an apparently desolate piece of land, which is a main source of the South American water supply.
In a web of deceit, murder and deception, James Bond (Daniel Craig) partners with old associates in a battle to uncover the truth. As Bond gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop Quantum from getting its way.
"Quantum Of Solace" is due in theaters November 11, and has had its share of production problems along the way. Craig was rushed to hospital in June after hurting himself on-set in South America, and was recently seen nursing a bruised eye and broken arm, expensive set vehicles malfunctioned causing accidents, and fires here and there slowed production for weeks.
We suspect it will be worth the wait, even if just to hear the new soundtrack and theme song written by Jack White and Alicia Keys.
Saturday Night Live hit another high point last night when Darrell Hammond portrayed John McCain in a funny skit with Bill Hader.
The skit shows John McCain and the group recording negative television campaign spots, and Hammond being amazed at the modern technology in the studio, and wandering if the things they are saying are true.
They record ads for health care, and then smear Barack Obama with basketball puns, gambling jokes, tax cut questions, pedophile references, and childbearing issues.
Personally, Josh Groban reminds me of one of the characters from The Lord of the Rings, but last night's Emmy Awards performance left me with a new respect for Josh Groban... the boy can put on a decent performance.
I usually change the channel when the musical performances come on, but he had me at "The Simpsons" and I was drawn to the entire performance. You gotta hand it to Josh Groban, he really nailed it.
So watch the video clip of Josh Groban at the 60th Emmy Awards and tell me what you think:
