Despite the Internet hype, Cloverfield is short on plot, fear, and terror.
With an aggressive marketing campaign, Cloverfield was poised to make a splash on the theatrical scene. Like The Blair Witch Project and Snakes On A Plane before it, the buzz started in earnest on the Internet. For awhile, the film was simply known as 1-18-08 in cyberspace; clues, theories, and plot points were showing up on web sites and being…

April 14th, 2008Is She Pregnant?????
April 14th, 2008
Faith Hill showed up to the 2008 CMT Awards in Nashville on Monday that wearing that monstrosity.
It's like a garbage bag on top, only worse - cuz she wore it in public, to an awards show!
There must be some reason behind that crime of fashion, right????
Maybe she's pregnant?????
Faith is sporting a bit of a double chin as well.
And, this past weekend, she was also wearing a very flow-y top at an event in New Orleans (see below).
Maybe she's trying to cover up a baby bump!
That, or she just needs to hire a new stylist!
P.S. Are those the SAME pants????

A Proud Latina
April 14th, 2008
All the speculating can cease.
The Black Eyed Peas' Fergie is indeed a Latina.
“Yes, I have Mexican in my ancestry,” Fergie tells Latina magazine. “My Dad's grandmother was born in Guanajuato. I’m very proud of it; that’s probably where I get my fire!"
The mag asks her why her Latina background has been so ambiguous. Fergie answers, "I don’t go around claiming it big time because there are many more full-bred Latinas that are out there to represent.”
Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba, you reading? Be a little more like Fergie — proud of where your family comes from!
Even if it's just your dad's grandma!

ANOTHER DUI Story!
April 14th, 2008
NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony was arrested Monday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, just hours after his worst game of the season.
Drowning those sorrows away! Never a good idea.
Anthony was pulled over in his silver Mercedes at about 4 a.m. for weaving and for driving with his high-beams on, Denver police said.
There was no accident and no one was hurt (thank goodness!).
He failed a series of sobriety tests, and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Hopefully this won't mess things up for you Denver fans! We hear your team is fighting for a playoff spot!
What an idiot!

April 14th, 2008Philly Film Fest 2008 – Day 10: Philadelphian Teen
April 14th, 2008In which I see the film I was most looking forward to at the fest.
(In case you were wondering what happened to Day 8, it was a day of rest so that I wouldn’t grow to hate movies and everything they stand for.) Son of Rambow was my most anticipated film of the fest. After hearing the film's geektastic premise – two boys decide to remake First Blood – and the accompanying Sundance love, I was hooked. It…

"Butter Knife Pulled From Boy's Head"
Ouch! That must have hurt. CLICK HERE to read the article accompanying this headline!
Butter Knife Pulled From Boy's Head
A Vancouver boy had a butter knife pulled from his head at a hospital Sunday.
Tyler Hemmert said he and a friend were sitting on a park bench when another boy became angry with them and threw a knife at them.
“When he threw it, we both ducked,” said Nate Leach, Tyler’s friend. “… It just stuck him in the head.”
The butter knife became lodged in Tyler's head between his scalp and skull. “It, like, stung like a bee for a while,” Tyler said.
Tyler went to a nearby house for help and his friend ran several blocks to tell Tyler’s father.
Brian Hemmert said he didn’t stop to put on his shoes. He drove to the park and an ambulance followed moments later.
“What I wanted to do was yank it out,” Brian Hemmert said. “But I knew better.”
Tyler said he could still feel the knife. “I could see the handle of the butter knife, sticking out,” he said. “That’s when I freaked out.”
The ambulance took Tyler to the hospital with the knife still in his head.
“They took a CAT scan to make sure it wasn’t in my skull,” he said. “Then they numbed it, and cut it open and ripped the knife out.”
Tyler received five stitches to hold his scalp together. He had a bandage wrapped around his head Sunday night.
Police said they interviewed the boy who threw the knife. Juvenile authorities will decide whether charges will be pursued.
