Fey, Carell Hit Misses

This weekend Tina Fey and Steve Carell starred in the newest comedy, Date Night, which had everyone expecting a great comical match-making. Unfortunately, according to E! Online's Movie Reviews the film is graded at a measly C. Why don't the two actors in Hollywood who undoubtedly bring the most laughs to the big screen make such a hot couple on screen? Perhaps it's the not-so-great screenplay. Either way, the movie is star studded, featuring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Mark Wahlburg, Mark Ruffalo, and more. The wide array of stars and bits of comical outbursts from Carell are enough to get an audience.

Right now Date Night ranks at second in the box office, right behind Clash of the Titans and before How to Train Your Dragon. I think if not for the pure pleasure of seeing Carell and Fey interact on-screen, the movie is worth seeing.

Is Tiger Woods giving men a bad name?

What is it about men and the conniving ways they deceive their girlfriends and wives. Tiger Woods has unfortunately been slung all over the news lately, but it’s his “cheat sheet” that really evoked the question: What is with men and cheating?

First of all, I can’t say this is a fact, but I’m pretty sure there would be hundreds of guys out there who would be as lucky to have such a beautiful wife as Elin Nordegren. The Swedish model and pro golfer were married in 2004, followed three years later by a daughter, Sam Alexis. In 2008, the Woods’ were once again blessed with another child; this time, Charlie Axel.

It’s a shame that with such a beautiful family, impressive career, and countless endorsements, this man would still want more. So, as most celebrity couples must succumb to, the three scandalous women that Woods has reportedly had affairs with have spoken, and actually, it’s all quite interesting. Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin all have their ways and reasons for dealing with the situation, but Grubbs has the most interesting one in my opinion, claiming that she has had 20 sexual encounters with Woods since April 2007. Well, that’s specific! Moquin is completely denying any claims, apparently to in hopes to save her job (and possibly her reputation). Uchitel was reported to have a five-month relationship with Woods, which included a time when Woods had her flown out to Australia to stay with him on his visit. However, she is also denying the claims and was paid $1million to cancel the press conference she had scheduled. Of course, she also tried to claim she didn’t want any attention from these scandalous accusations.

This actually doesn’t make me feel bad for anyone in this situation though. I’ve been a faithful fan since I was a little 10-year-old girl trying to master my own golf skills and honestly, I’m a little used to hearing about these famous guys do all the wrong things. So, once again, I’m posing my question: What is with men and cheating?

So tell me: Is it all men? Do they find something in it that makes them do it more than once? And more importantly, is there a reason that makes them think it’s okay? Oh, and don’t stop there. I mean cheating is a two-way thing and not only men do it. Although, I can see why a woman would have an affair with Tiger Woods (but Elin needs to hold onto her man). Oh, the mysteries of relationships.

Adam Lambert Gets Freaky

So lately the celebrity world has dwindled, or at least my interest in it has. With the holidays coming up, the NBA games getting intense, and the general lack of time I have for anything other than studying, it’s been a little difficult to keep up with the crazy stuff celebrities have been doing. Fortunately for me, Adam Lambert has encouraged me to find interest once again.

If you missed the American Music Awards, then you missed one of the most scandalous performances of the year. Adam Lambert delivered a great version of his latest single “For your entertainment” complete with hip thrusting and a make out scene. MAKE OUT SCENE?!?! Yes, the man showed no shame during his song and dance as he grabbed his keyboardist, who seemed quite shocked, and engaged in a heated lip lock on stage. Power to him! If it weren’t for the fact that everyone seemed quite surprised and appalled by this, and YouTube didn’t freak out by blocking all the videos, it would have been a complete rock out moment. Too bad he just got a little carried away.

Despite the dirty little scenes he displayed, it was a great performance over all. In fact, the best thing to do is just watch it for your self. So here is the only link I could find that hasn’t been blocked: CLICK.

It's time to hate on Jon and Kate

Since when have reality television stars been interesting enough to follow and put on the front pages of the country's best entertainment magazines? Let's be realistic: NEVER! Unless you are Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port, Speidi, Kristin Cavallari, or any other blond from the Hills, then you aren't very interesting at all. It seems that Jon and Kate's divorce, or separation, or whatever they are doing, is not going very well. In fact, their oldest children, Mady and Cara will celebrate their 9th birthday tomorrow and the birthday gift to the girls is another dispute between the two attention hogs.

It's all over People Magazine. Kate is telling her sob story again; she just wants a quiet, normal day with her girls. Jon is striking back at her for trying to change the arrangements. Kate has done nothing but make the separation difficult for her own children, trying to take away the time they see their father. Really though, does every little detail of Jon and Kate's break up need to be reported on? "Jon Gosselin claims 'Kate's hiding money'." "Kate Gosselin finally let's go of wedding ring." "Kate Gosselin fights to get money back." These are all headlines that have been in the news lately. Why people care is really ridiculous to me. Divorce is probably one of the most common problems America has today, but not every divorce is a headline in People. It can't be that Jon and Kate have eight children either, because if they really cared about their eight children they would stop talking to tabloids and handle their situation privately. Large families are so last season! It's become such a show it's amazing people still believe these two are serious. Speaking of shows, they don't even have one anymore. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of hearing about this family. Oh, and stop giving Kate so much attention! Did she really need to go on the View to tell the world she would do anything for her children. Hello - any good mother should do anything she can for her children. If they are really going to fight over money and their children publicly, then they've lost all respect as parents.

Perhaps I'm being a little too harsh on them, seeing as how their fame came from their number. Not surprisingly, the amount of money they've brought in from their show is insane, accounting for their eight children. Realistically though, the family has eleven bank accounts and their children are all under 10. Is it too wrong to ask that a family this young be a little more conservative about their home issues?

Lady Gaga - Kanye Tour Epic Fail

November 10th was going to be a big day in Phoenix; it was going to be the kick off to Lady Gaga and Kanye West's North American Fame Kills Tour, until West revealed that he will be taking a break for a while to figure things out. Apparently the Jay Leno interview didn't settle well with him, but hopefully it's taught him a lesson. (One beyond Obama calling him a jack ass). Check out West on Jay Leno if you missed it. In my opinion, Leno asking about how Kanye's mom would have felt about the Taylor Swift situation was the best thing for him. Even if this was just another publicity stunt, as some have ventured to accuse West of pulling again, it still had to have some effect on his stupid actions. The entire interview seemed awkward and insincere, but good for Kanye. He's actually saying nice things so he definitely deserves a pat on the back. Was Leno crossing the line asking about his dead mother? That's a topic for a completely whole other day.

The real news is Lady Gaga and Kane West will not be going on tour together. Why is that? Well, it's a little difficult to understand right now and it seems like no one will explain much soon either. Gaga apparently feels sorry for West, commenting on his poor judgement to be more of a small "random moment". She also ventured to say people could sometimes get carried away with all of the gossip, but is this really the case? Sure, our society has slowly become one of celebrity-ogling, obsessive fans; the fact of the matter is this isn't the first time he's done something like this, so Gaga is making no sense right now! His trending gossip will only make better for tickets sales. Either she doesn't want to go on tour with him because he's known for making a fool of himself, or she feels so bad for him she would hate for him to also go on tour with a woman who is confused about her own body parts -- yes this is in reference to her supposed male organ.

Honestly, I think Kanye has just figured out that his games are no longer tolerated. If this was a publicity stunt, he'd only be using it to up ticket sales for this now canceled tour. Instead, all purchases made will be refunded in full. Many people, even Kanye fans, will see that this cancellation is actually good for the "voice of this generation". If he's smart, he will use this time to contemplate the massacre he made of an important moment in a colleagues life, and perhaps even have enough time to think about his earlier scandals. Sorry Lady Gaga, even if you do feel sorry for West, you're outfits still scare many of us and we don't feel bad for your tour.

What is with great music and lame artists that make it? When will there ever be a happy medium?

Time to meet Little Fockers

It's been awhile since I've posted (sorry about that), but I had a good reason. The important thing is now I'm back and there's a movie coming out soon that I can't wait to hear more about! Sneak peak anyone?

Meet the Parents (2000), starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, was one of the greatest movies of Stiller's career. Since its release almost nine years ago it's been one of those movies no one minds watching again and again on TBS reruns. Back when comedy didn't involve Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, this movie made people hysterical with the humorous encounters between Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Stiller) and soon to be father-in-law Jack Byrnes (De Niro). Four years after the release of the first movie, Stiller hit home again with Meet the Fockers (2004). This time director Jay Roach decided to cast Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman as the parents of Greg Focker. You will remember all of the awkward moments between the two families, and the cute little baby with the greatest first word of all time. If so, you will also note that this side splitting comedy was incredible. So good apparently, they are at it again.

A new installment of the Meet the Parents series, Little Fockers, is in post production, which will hopefully be hitting theaters in the summer of 2010. This time the cast is growing and it's bound to be better with new faces and new production staff. Actresses Jessica Alba and Uma Thurman are rumored to play roles in this film. Director Paul Weitz who has directed movies such as American Pie, Down to Earth, and upcoming movie Cirque du Freak, will hopefully make this one worthy to add to the list of great Stiller movies. Honestly, the combination of Hoffman, Stiller, and De Niro just make for a great movie overall, but don't forget Owen Wilson. I'm proud to say Wilson is one of my favorite actors and is part of the reason I love these movies so much. Unfortunately, Raven-Symoné also plays part in the new movie, but hopefully she won't ruin it's charm. This is one detail I'm not too pleased about.

If you want more info. on the upcoming movie, watch this VIDEO! Plus this guy has a hilarious accent, so it may just be really amusing.

Disgruntled Ducks fan gets refund for disappointment

September 3, 2009 marked a start to a hopeful football season for the University of Oregon Ducks, coaches, and fans. After the star running back, LeGarrett Blount, decided to punch Boise State's Byron Hout and got himself suspended for the rest of the season, fans were clearly angry. Oregon lost the game 19-8, which was a disappointment to everyone who was hoping for a successful season and Bowl Champion Series win. It isn't just the game that has people's heads turning in the direction of the Duck's coach Chip Kelley though.

A fan and alumni of U of Oregon sent a letter to Kelley explaining his embarrassment for the way everything was handled on game day. In his letter, he attached an invoice listing his expenses for the trip he made to see it. Expenses turned out to be $434, and the alumni wanted all of it back. What is so impressive about the entire situation is that Kelley signed a check himself and sent it off to the angry fan. Needless to say, the furious fan then became a respectful one. Sending his check back in the mail, he enclosed a thank you note as well.

It's not very often you hear about the angry actions fans make after poor athletic efforts or surprising issues that arise at games, but this one differs from all the rest. Usually when a coach receives hate mail it's just thrown out never to be looked at again. It's Kelley's actions with this letter that show there is still hope in American football. We can't rely on every player to be at his best behavior each game, or every team to be at their best every play, but we can still have hope that the coaches know what they are doing. Kelley has showed fans that as a coach, he cares what people think of his team and he knows how important it is to other people that his team strives for greatness.

If anything, this brings back some prospective for fans who are clouded by their one main goal: to be victorious at every game. Stuff happens. It takes a humble and respectable man to be classy in his attempt to keep peoples' hope alive. Kelley still has no comment about what took place between the two, but he has inspired many in the football realm. Whether or not the Ducks win another game this season now depends on the rest of the team and the inspiration of this man. I can see what Kelley could be thinking at this point. Not only does he have a stadium full of people to entertain and make happy, but now he has a locker room full of uncertain athletes. It's up to him to inspire and lead them to greatness. Now all Oregon fans can hope that the team will pull it together and their coach can be as just as smooth on the field as off.
