Strike?! I don't care about no stinking strike!


Ok, so it has not gotten that bad, to the point where movie studios are offing the actors, writers, and directors. There is though, a strike looming in Hollywood and the following actors and actress are making sure they get paid in time. Look below to see who is getting their act on. Variety reports:

-Jim Carey is becoming Sober.

- Costner wants to be an Explorer.

-Cameron Diaz is not thinking outside the box.


-Russell Crow and Leonardo DiCaprio are liars.

- Ryan Gosling has some great bones.

Also Sam Rockwell decided to spill the beans on yet to be officially announced film he hopes to be working on with Jennifer Aniston and Peter Saarsgard. Below is the mention he did while being interviewed by Us Weekly of all people. Not posting the whole interview (but I have to name the source, so go Google US Weekly.com)because after the first question, it goes downhill. Maybe he is trying to drum up earlier publicity, or maybe he is just way too excited to be working with Jennifer. I hope the movie comes through for his sake, he is too good of a actor to be giving stupid interviews to the tabloids.

"Sam Rockwell spilled the beans, and told Usmagazine.com that he and Jennifer Aniston will be teaming up as two sides of a love triangle in You Are Here (Peter Saarsgard will be the third), set to begin filming early next year."

Jennifer also has a few projects in the works. She is set to put back on her producing hat in the recently announced Goree Girls. And maybe her acting hat for that too. She is also still set to play opposite of Meryl Streep as an escaped convict in Wanted and a wife with a secret in The Senator's Wife.

Whew! Props to all these actors getting roles, keep doing your thing! For us regular poorer folks, try saying 'go Google' five times fast.

Trendy Time Out: TMZ and the BET Awards


I usually do not post about the happenings on the gossip sites, but this has caught the attention of a few people. The BET Awards was this past Tuesday Night. If I must say, the award show continues to improve as the years go on. TMZ decided to do their own version of a recap of the show. What's the uproar? TMZ described Beyonce as a "roboho", displaying a picture of her in a robot outfit. What TMZ failed to do is mention that the "roboho" lasted all but a mere 30 seconds, as she appeared from the robot wearing a non hoeish outfit. Some claim that TMZ was out of line, especially after what happen with Don Imus a few months ago. I do agree that TMZ did make a very bias recap of the award show, also saying rapper/actress Eve looked like a "streetwalker". I am not offended as much by what TMZ posted as I am by the racist comments left on the site. None of the comments have been deleted as they should have been. TMZ rarely mentions African Americans on their site, but rather have a daily posting on the happenings of Paris Hilton. Whether this was just a blatant racist review of a the BET Awards, or just the usually way TMZ reports things, I think that it is inappropriate to call any one a hoe especially those who do not deserve to be called one when you have other celebrity women showing their goodies to paps and having sex tapes pop up. That is classy.

P.S.- I guess no one should have been suprised as TMZ posted this as a pre-lude. I guess next they will be pushing for W.E.T. aka White Entertainment Television; even though W.E.T. is already shown of the majority of the channels I flip through ...
