Jenny McCarthy Is Engaged!

Guess who’s gettin’ hitched! & she’s doin’ it with a yellow sapphire engagement ring! BTW she’s engaged to Donnie Wahlberg. According to Jenny on the View he made numerous proposal attempts and finally enlisted the help of her eleven year old son Evan. That cinched it.

Let’s hope she uses the ring’s power for good!

You’ll probably wanna have a look at the ring. Yellow sapphires aren’t something you hear about everyday. This particular specimen is so big and bright that it probably has some kind of Yellow Lantern super powers associated with it. Jenny will have to be careful where she points it. Should it be fully charged for the fight against evil, and go off accidentally while pointed in the wrong direction, who knows what effect it might have! View colleagues might be sent into the Phantom Zone with nothing more than an evil look and a flash of Yellow Star Sapphire Lantern Power! Annoying Internet bloggers might be reduced to gibbering idiots (but who could tell the difference?)! Reese Witherspoon might accidentally get called “Jenny McCarthy” in an interview. Anything could happen under the influence of this super sapphire!

Readers with glaucoma or detached retina may want to avert their eyes!

Now lest you think that these are wild exaggerations just have a gander at the ring in question featured in the photo below, which got posted about one hour ago over @ news-headlines-info.

Donnie Wahlberg makes it official with fiancee Jenny McCarthy - with the help of her son Evan and a huge yellow sapphire ring

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Official TV Spot – Brothers (2014) – Megan Fox

Hunger Games Catching Fire has just won a slew of awards like Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, & Best Picture at the MTV Movie Awards! So it’s already old news! Just like that upcoming lunar eclipse that the media keeps going on about. You need some new news like  Michael Bay and Megan Fox together again. They had a painful Sonny & Cher type break up in which Megan went off to find herself or something. Maybe they just needed their space and some time apart. It had almost reached the point of seeing other people when Bay cast Rosie Huntington Whiteley to play Megan opposite Shia Labouef in the last Transformers movie!  It’s good for Meggers that she patched it up with Bay, because I hear he was auditioning Julia Voth to be the new foxy brunette!

Is Julia Voth the New Foxy Brunette?

FYI Megan and Julia have their similarities like both are Taurus girls: Megan May 15 & Julia May 16. Both had rural upbringings: Megan in Tennessee & Julia in Saskatchewan. Both have Sci Fi & action related experience: Megan with Transformers, and Julia as the human model for Resident Evil video game’s Jill Valentine! Both have had entertainment related ‘controversies’: Megan had a hi profile spat with director Michael Bay, and in Julia’s case I hear that Milla Jovovich fears her (Let’s face it Julia was the natural choice for the role of Jill Valentine in the recent RE flick)! Don’t believe me? Then view the following photo of the Resident Evil beauties together! The while scene is riddled with tension, & Milla has that “hide the sharp objects’ look!

Naomi Campbell Reveals Girl Crush On Jennifer Lopez: "She’s So Beautiful!"

supermodels getting ‘broad’ minded

A little while ago and during a sexy interview (sex rituals were discussed) supermodel Miranda Kerr revealed that she had a girl crush on fellow/sister Aussie model & David Jones spokesperson Megan Gale! Gale was the one tapped to play Wonder Woman in that JLA motion picture from a few years back that never got made. Now no one can fault Miranda on her taste since when it comes to good looks Gale is a brain blister of a woman!

Seems like Kerr’s frank confession have lead the way for other famous models to start talking about their own same, or ‘dame’, sex crushes. In this case Naomi Campbell confesses her admiration for Jennifer JLo Lopez – whom she describes as “So beautiful”. While Naomi and JLo together might be a nice idea in theory – it could be rough in practice, since both ladies have strong personalities and fiery temperaments! Still it’s something to think about.

Why Is William Shatner Doing a Reality Show?

That’s an interesting question. Then again why does William Shatner do anything? Because he’s William Shatner and he can, I suppose. However Big Bill can probably explain for himself. He’s in the following 7:29 video, in which he talks about his upcoming reality TV show. Let’s listen and find out!

Will RDJ be back for Iron-Man 4?

drawing the line on cartoon superheroism

The line between celebrity and super heroism is a blurry one. There are so many commonalties, like larger then life personas, privacy issues (every celeb needs a secret identity), & public costumed spectacles. Maybe that’s why super heroes are natural subjects for Hollywood movies. They’re so natural that superhero themed movies have lead to numerous and ongoing franchises. So will Hollywood’s No. 1 superhero Robert Downey jr, draw the line at Ironman 4? The good people @ ComicBookCast2 have some views that they’d like to share.

The celebrity superhero theme continues as some pix from the new X Men flick have gotten released!

Hopefully RDJ will suit up and show up for at leas tone more Ironflick. Gwyneth Pepper Potts Paltrow only got her suit of armor in the last flick!
 


Wonderbrash!

Gal Gadot’s been well known for awhile. She was in a few of those popular Fast & Furious flicks, plus the Fast Five spin off. She’s also a former Miss Israel, she was featured as one of Maxim’s lethal beauties by way of her military service, and she’s been a main stay in Castro dept store ads – in which she gets in trouble in her underwear (possibly a Wonderbra)!

Being a lethal beauty who gets into trouble while wearing underwear might be pretty good preparation for playing Wonder Woman in the new Batman vs Superman flick, plus a Justice League film and a Wonder Woman stand alone feature! However no beauty pageant experience could have prepared her for the international fan reaction to the announcement that she was the New Original Wonder Woman! Wonder Woman is the sexiest heroine in comics, & bagging that role is like winning every beauty contest in the universe at once!. Now that there was an actual actress to put with the collective fantasies, reactions varied from those who were ready to erect shrines in her honour, to irate fanboys demanding to know “where’s the beef?” You see waifish Gal is kinda skinny (size 0) in an Audrey Hepburn way.

Yes you can haz cheezeburger!

Gadot took the criticisms very seriously, as did the film’s producers. So Gadot got put on the Wonder Woman Workout! There’s been a lot of weight training, cardio, martial arts, and the sweetest part of the deal – a 3500 calorie a day diet. That means Gadot is not only allowed, but in fact obliged, to eat all that stuff that was forbidden her as a super skinny model! It’s an effort to get Gadot to fill out and firm up in time to fight evil on screen!

To that end she’s not only been wolfing down the calories, but has also been working with celebrity trainer Mark Twight. So how’s the work out working out? Rumour has it that Gadot is currently in Detroit for the start of filming. Just before she left she was photographed with Twight following her work out. She looks a lot healthier, and may have put on some poundage – suits her too!

Cheeseburgers vs evil

The extra weight looks good on Gadot – so the exercise and diet must be working out! As Gadot saiud in a recent interview, on training – I just keep active— everything that’s challenging me, everything that I feel like doing. It’s not like I’m only TRX or Pilates. I do sports. I do cardio, but I don’t like it as much. I’d rather do weights. As for the diet – that’s super secret. However Gadot did have this to say – I try to eat healthy. But sometimes though, I eat cheeseburgers. That’s good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink tons of water.

Well I’m glad some one finally spoke up for cheeseburgers! They’ve been getting a bad rap. Donuts could use some support too. Though still highly popular the sugary doughy snack have got an unfortunate association with Homer J Simpson. There are probably plenty of other good foods too that have gotten some how stigmatized, and so aren’t enjoyed as much as they might be! There’s nothing wrong with a healthy appetite, and an appreciation of various foods.It’s so much healthier than those crypto anorexic breatharian diets! Just remember that if you wanna be a Wonder Woman, 1st you got start eating like one! So go on and eat like a horse!

& now for our tumblr of the day. This one comes from Communismkills. CK is a tumblr blog that caused some outrage with the ‘radical’ conservative views posted. Naturally that prompted a big backlash against the blog author. In fact she became a sort of minor Internet celebrity! Here’s what she recently posted on fame!

So remember that while fame might seem like a good idea at the time, in the long run it might not be worth it! That is unless you can come up with a secret identity to protect your privacy issues! Meanwhile keep checking the Trash, where we fight the good fight one cheeseburger at a time!

Having Flashbacks With David Letterman

DAvid Letterman has had a career full of well timed comedic mis steps incvulding a stint on the Mary Tyler Moore variety hour with Michael Keaton, and with the Starlight Vocal Band, also a musical comedy variety show

Someone familiar, someone peculiar

Last post it was mentioned that David Letterman had a long and varied career of comedic mis steps – like the short lived Mary Tyler Moore variety hour. He was featured in that along side Michael Keaton. Here’s a chance to see two major comedic talents at the very beginning of their illustrious careers, in this old clip from Mary’s show. So this is your chance to see them side by side and compare.

Dave also appeared int he also short lived Stalight Vocal Band variety show. The Starlight Vocal Band was a one hit wonder from the 70’s. They had a popular song called Afternoon Delight. Their whole career was based around that one hit. So the show didn’t last. Basically it was cashing in on the band’s popularity by featuring them in a variety show where they sang the same hit week after week – sometimes at the beginning of the show, sometimes at the end, and then sometimes in the middle. That’s so it wouldn’t get monotonous! About the same time as they began introducing new material the show got abruptly canceled. So it was another bad experience in musical variety for Letterman. Fortunately for you celebrity bad experiences are preserved for prosperity via the Internet, and particularly on youtube. So let’s have a look at  that clip. Maybe they’ll sing that song again!

It wasn’t a total loss, since Starlight got a couple of Grammy’s, America got Dave, and youtube got the video. However musical variety didn’t survive continual abuse of the genre! So it’s a happy ending, in a way!

David Letterman Announces His Retirement From The Late Show

regular in theory

 David Letterman is an All American Success Story – by making it big through a series of comedic set backs!

DAvid Letterman started out as a C student from Indiana who wanted to do Johnny CArson's job, but eventually carved out his own place via Mary Tyler Moore and the long way round

David Letterman started his career as a c student fresh out of college in Indiana. He didn’t know what he wanted to do, so he decided to go into television. He got the idea from a popular Cincinnati TV personality named Paul Dixon. He was the host of a quirky TV show called The Paul Dixon Show. Letterman figured that it would be fun to do something like that. The only question was would those slick Cincinnati moves play in Indiana? Those two states have a Texas Oklahoma thing goin’ on and I don’t have to tell you which is Tex and which is Okie. Letterman got a chance to try as a local Indiana weather man. It was during that time he predicted “hail he size of canned hams”, and erased the border between Indiana and Ohio. I’m not sure which state took over which, or whether it was a mutual joining – like Germany & Austria prior to WW2. The only thing that was missing from his routine was an annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drop!

Now anyone who’s ever watched WKRP in Cincinnati knows that the American Mid West can be a pretty funky place. It wasn’t quite funky enough to hold Letterman. So with the help of his wife and a pick up truck he made his way to California. There he worked in stand up and as a writer for Jimmie “JJ” Walker. Dave, along with aspiring young comedians like Jay Leno, wrote zingers and one liners for JJ’s stand up routine. Dave was quick to move up and was soon appearing as a regular on the short lived Mary Tyler Moore variety show called MARY! Regular might not be the right word since the show lasted for 1 episode (or maybe three). He was a regular in theory anyway. Mary did get another variety show later that year, which lasted for about 11 episodes this time.

Dave was never the kind to let any kind of regularity stop him, so he landed on his feet again. He got a 90 minute morning show, which got shortened to 60 minutes. Eventually it got canceled for poor ratings. Seems that large numbers of people weren’t tuning in. One person who was tuning into Dave was late night TV kingpin Johnny Carson! Carson was kind of a big deal back then, and for those who don’t remember he even had his own line of men’s clothing! Carson liked Letterman’s smart alecky style and so had him on the Tonight Show. That went over so well that Carson had him back as a semi regular guest, and eventually as a guest host! That was back at the dawn of the Age of Reagan, or maybe even a year or two before – in the Age of Malaise. Eventually he landed his own late nite gig, following directly after Carson.

Letterman took off as a late nite host. Hos dry sarcastic wit, acerbic interviews, and pranks caught on with the college set. After he gained a following things took off. He got into a 16 year feud with TV titan Oprah Winfrey. He bagged a bunch of Emmy Awards, and eventually went on to host the Oscars. That didn’t go over too well. Dave’s humour came off too sophomoric for the upscale Academy Awards. Especially the bits where he made fun of celebrities names, like Keanu Reeves, Uma Thurman, and of course Oprah Winfrey! Incidentally Oprah has made computer spell check, as opposed to ‘Kean’ Reeves and ‘Una’ Thurman! So you can get an idea of how big she is! Dave never made it back to Xanadu, but did recycle his appearance in a number of self deprecating jokes, like “In retrospect I don’t think I realized that the cere3mony was being televised!”.

Dave’s big ambition was to host the Tonight Show. He’d had the heady experience of subbing for Johnny back in the late 70’s. He was till young enough for the experience to make an impression on him. However when johnny eventually retired the late night throne passed on to Jay Leno. Dave decided to jump ship and headed over to CBS. Situated in New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater, which had got $14 million in renovations just to house the new Letterman Show, Big Dave went head to heads with the show he had once hoped to host. For the first several years he consistently beat Leno in the rating but by the mid to late 90’s his rating were in decline. Maybe still shy from his Oscar appearance, Dave had toned down the show for the earlier time slot. The World’s Most Dangerous Band became the CBS Orchestra. Sneakers and Khaki’s were traded in for shiny shoes and tailored suits. By the end of Leno’s late nite reign he was besting letterman by as much as 1.5 million in viewer rating, though Dave was consistently besting him in viewer popularity poles.

Despite the Leno rivalry Letterman enjoyed a long and lucrative relationship with CBS. At his peak he earned over $40 million per year! His Worldwide Pants production company also did some prime time projects, like Everyone loves Raymond! It also produced the Amy Sedaris Strangers With Candy film, based on the Comedy Central series about a 46 year old juvenile delinquent, played by Sedaris. He’s also influenced a number of famous wise guys like Jimmy Kimmel and Jon Stewart. So now, as he announces his retirement in 2015, when his current contract runs out, he walks away as a TV icon, and as the pioneer of his own late nite TV slot, & not merely the successor to Johnny Carson. That’s not bad for a former C student who set out to bring zany Cincinnati ways to Indiana!
