Wow It's True!

Well chalk one up for the Tabloids, they actually predicted right this time. Angelina Jolie confirmed she is having twins, thanks to blabber mouth Jack Black. Her co star in Kung Fu Panda got too excited during an interview and let the cat out of the bag. Jolie then confirmed what he said.

Congratulations to the Pitts!

China has Hidden the Olympic Games!

Have fun!



Andy Borowitz Sat Apr 19, 3:00 AM ET

Creators Syndicate - Fearful about the prospect of human-rights protesters ruining the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China today announced a plan to move the summer games to a remote location where no one can find them.


A spokesman for the Chinese ministry of sport, Wu Qingxiu, said that the plan to move the Olympics to an undisclosed location has "advanced from the planning stage into the doing stage."

The reasoning behind the move was simple, Wu told reporters: "You cannot protest what you cannot find."

While rumors swirled about where the Olympics might be relocated, the Chinese official said that all such speculation is futile: "China is a very large country, and if you want to hide the Olympics, it is a very easy thing to do."

In order to keep the new location a secret, Wu revealed that China had not even disclosed it to NBC, who has a contract to televise the 2008 summer games.

This decision drew an outraged response from NBC chairman Jeff Zucker, who told reporters in New York, "If NBC doesn't know where the Olympics are, no one will watch them."

Wu took exception to Mr. Zucker's comment about no one watching the Olympics, responding, "That sounds like a typical NBC show to me."

On the campaign trail, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) blasted China's human rights record, telling an audience in Pittsburgh, "I have always fought for human rights in China, which is why I risked my life in Tiananmen Square."

Poor Enrique, Marriage is Out

Out of the question for now, it seems between Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova. Why Anna won't get married is beyond me. She has no other means of support and losing a guy like this would be a major blow. Girl needs to get her priorities straight and settle down.

The Legend is Gone

Charlton Heston, best actor for Ben Hur and immortalized as the definitive Moses, has passed away at the age of 84.

With his wife by his side, Heston passed away at his home in Beverly Hills. He was the 50's and 60's big hero, tall good looking with a great presence on screen. He was active in the civil rights movement and was the president of the NRA.

So long Moses.

Wall E Trailer! This is going to Rock!

Seriously I can't get enough of this cute little robot. I really think it's going to explode at the box office. This is the final full trailer, and thankfully they've left the narration mostly out, and let Wall E and his girlfriend Eve do their little cute noise thing. Really this is cuteness overload.

Sneaky Harry has been Fighting

Fighting in Afghanistan, for at least two months!

Prince Harry, who is a member of the Blues and Royals regiment, had in early 2007 been denied service in Iraq because of security concerns, and hadn't been too happy over it. It seems that the Ministry of Defense UK, this time around managed to conceal his deployment with an agreement made by the press to not reveal where Harry was deployed.

Harry managed to leave on Christmas Eve and has been doing his duty ever since, until now that is. Thanks to the Drudge Report , his plans seem to be mucked up. Damn press couldn't leave him alone. Reports now are he's either being secretly redeployed or being sent back home, which should cause some fireworks from him if true.

Oscar Winners and Thoughts

The Oscars were held and one wonders if anyone watched?. I did at my local theater which wasn't bad with the free food and drinks. I have to say they need to shorten this list up and Please let the poor winners actually do all their thank yous! Seriously they were playing off the winners way too fast, they had to even let one of them back on to say their peace. Grow up producers.

And half of the awards given out could have been done pre awards show, they don't need to be included in the main show?! I don't care about sound mixing or best short animation especially when I never even saw the shorts in question. Neither does the American public who never saw the films. Granted the very few saw the best film noms but at least you heard or read about them. I took 7 of those awards out and left 17 still in there, more than enough, perhaps too much even, but at least they are interesting.
