So what does the future hold for Megan Fox? Well most people would’ve would’ve bet money on about 3 more Transformer sequels. That is up until she had a sort of vocal falling out with director Michael Bay. She kind of pointed out, during a TV interview, that Transformers wasn’t exactly A Man for All Seasons. That was right after she told the host and audience that she wasn’t gonna sit there an blow smoke up there ass.
Pussycat doll
Though Fox’s criticism didn’t involve the way the film was directed, Bay took exception. Mean Mike gave a press statement of his own, in which he called Megan a silly and ungrateful 23 year old who maybe didn’t have what it takes to be a household name. Apart from Jennifer’s Body & Jonah Hex, that left her employment future looking hazy.
Well all those Megan Fox fans will be happy to know that the lady has landed on her feet. Megan has found a new job in the fomr of a new mentor. Chris Nolan, of the Batman series, has decide that Megan has got what it takes to be the new Catwoman (the role that was supposed to go to Angelina Jolie). So he’s hired her ass to play Selena Kyle in his new Batman installment. So what’s Megan got to bring to the role besides the obvious? Well Nolan is promosing the Fox’s cat woman will have a darker edge. This is certainly good news for Megan, since it takes the edge off of her career. For awhile there it looked like her next job might be as Zev in a LEXX revival! Now it looks like the forecast calls for lots’o’leather!

PS. Here’s the answer to yesterday’s “are you a serial murderer” psych quiz. The question involves a woman who meets the love of her life while attending a cousin’s funeral. After the funeral she has no idea how to contact him. She asks everyone and they don’t know. So she kills her sister. Why? Because she assumes that since she met him at a family funeral, she might meet him again at another family funeral!
Schadenfreude: Heidi makes a laughing stock of herself again!
So far the official word on this is “embarrassing”. No matter what Heidi’s performance was it’s important to keep this in perspective through the correct assignment of blame. The credit for any entertainment value belongs to TV, the embarrassments is Heidi’s! No matter how ridiculous and embarrassing Hiedi may be however, there can be no doubt that she truly belongs in the TV medium. It’s the realm of the transmundane!
Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander: An Aquarian Conspiracy!
Transmundane & trivial: it is worth noting that Matt Greoning shares his birthday – Feb 15th – with Italian astronomer Galileo Galilee. Both men also share a tendency for mischievous sooth saying. In fact I can’t help thinking that there must’ve been a little Bart Simpson in ole GG. “There I was at the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa – it was like that when I got there – merrily dropping rocks onto unsuspecting passerbys – hehehe, suckers – when it occurred to me ‘if I can undermine their faith in gravity I could really rock there world’. That’s when the Pope sent me to my room for 15 years. Lousy il Papa!” Now that had to be stopped lest Galileo had started trying to convince people that they might start falling up!
The Vatican wasn’t pleased with GG’s antics but you have to see it from their point of view. They might have felt that Galileo’s use of a sling shot invalidated the experiment (even though the use of sling shots is clearly condoned by the Bible!).

If you like hot girls, minty fresh breath, and are a single makle 18 – 35 who watches a lot of TV, then you like Kate Kelton. She’s the Tic Tac Chick. You’ve probably seen at least one of her 8 highly charged TV ads at least once. You won’t being seeing any news ones since Tic Tac hasn’t picked Kate back up.
Kate got the gig by fluke back when she was a Ryerson student and part time assistant art director with a Toronto ad firm. They were shooting the Tic Tac spots and the model didn’t show. Kate wound up subbing for her on the spur of the moment. It worked out. Tic Tac liked what they saw so much that they asked to see more.
Whether or not Tic Tac can do without Kate, Kate seems to be managing without them. The former Toronto resident has relocated to LA, where she’s making some waves in the art scene. She’s been doing an enormous amount of painting, some gallery showing, and occasionally some TV & commercial work. Unlike all those young women who go out to LA with stars in their eyes Kelton seems much more consumed with her painting. The acting stuff seems like a way to help make ends meet, and to keep Kate in acrylic and oil paints. Here’s an example of what she spends those days locked in her room doing!
Not that Ms. Kelton lives the life of a hermit or anything. While she’s been splashing paint around she’s also been making some friends. In fact you might recognize some of or even all of them!
Now I know the news that Kate is no longer the Offical Tic Tac Chick has gotta be a bummer for her males fans out there. So just to cushion the blow, here are some of the most recent photo’s of Kate. As you can see she looks hotter than ever.
Oh yeah, one final thing – Ms Kate doesn’t just make art, she inspires it. Now this art is of the fan boy photoshop variety but it’s still usually pretty thoroughly enjoyed. This one for instance has been making the rounds of the Internet for at least 2 years. It cause a mild freak out over @ Fark.com when it showed up on their radar! Now set your faces to stunned as your set your eyes on something campy but stunning!

Live fast and die young
It was the story that came out of nowhere and rocked North America. Now it seems to be over as quickly as it began! Ryan Jenkins has been found dead in his motel room. He hung himself by the neck from a closet rack. It’s the latest, and perhaps final development in a story that was full of more high speed twists and turns then a cop show car chase.
looking for the on ramp to the fast lane!
Jenkins was a self styled investment broker from Canada who sought overnight success in the US. When his plans fell through he wound up trying a quick fix by signing on for the now canceled reality TV show Megan Wants a Millionaire. Jenkins struck out with Megan too, and got booted from the show. He hooked up with his ex wife and victim Jasmine Fiore while playing poker in a Vegas strip club.
fast girl jumps the gun
Fiore was a ‘fitness instructor’ and a former nude model. She had gone to California for the same reasons as everyone else – to get rich quick. What she wound up with was a failed businessman a reality TV reject. We can’t be sure what they saw in each other: did it seem like a good idea at the time? Were they out of other options? Or was it just a case of misery loves company? Either way they wound up married.
too fast to last
So far the pattern of bad judgment and impulsive risk taking was consistent. So you didn’t need a crystal ball to guess that this marriage was gonna be an uphill struggle. So much so in fact that they pair called it quits much quicker than anyone expected – 5 months in and got it annulled. That was the first significant attack of reason and good sense either of them had shown in their lives up to this point – not that either seemed like the type to stop & think. So it couldn’t last.
the quick and the dead
According to Fiore’s mother Jenkins came crawling back and begged Fiore to give him another chance. Relying on whatever faulty instincts had mislead her in the past, Fiore considered the offer and took Jenkins up on it. That was to prove the undoing for both of then! Shortly after the reconciliation Jenkins phoned the cops to report his wife missing. After a brief search they turned her body up in a suitcase that had been left inside a trash dumpster. Serial numbers on the breasts implants confirmed the ID of the victim, and now police wanted to talk with the next of kin about the dearly departed. Apparently Jenkins’ 911 call didn’t buy him any creditability.
story starts spreading at the speed of sound!
That brings us up to the point at which the rest of the world got involved. There’s nothing like dead naked Playboy bunnies in trash dumpsters and phony reality TV millionaires with blood on their hands to get people’s attention. So the media pounced on this story fast with a vengeance. The authorities kind of got enthusiastic about it too. So Ryan figured that he would leave town for awhile. Now he wasn’t under arrest, but he was a person of interest, so the LAPD didn’t appreciate the impromptu road trip. That lead to some all points bulletins for Mr Jenkins on both sides of the boarder!
gone in 60 seconds and still picking up speed!
The media red alert didn’t do much to slow Jenkins down. In a few days he managed to get from LA to the Canadian border (I’d have headed for Mexico: it’s closer, it’s counter intuitive, and the border crossings aren’t designed to keep people from illegally crossing into Mexico!). Some where in Northern Washington he managed to get access to a boat and slip the world’s longest undefended border unobserved! He’d beaten the America Law Enforcement Agencies – the first thing resembling success in his life for a while!
haste & waste
This only made the story bigger. People were seeing Jenkins everywhere. One guy got detained at Pearson International because some one thought it was Jenkins. That poor schmuck got held for a couple of hours, then released. He couldn’t possibly have been Jenkins. For one thing Jenkins wasn’t anywhere near Ontario. he was still in his native BC. For another thing Jenkins was probably already dead by that time.
life is a highway; Jenkins takes a short cut
It seems that Jenkins had checked into a small town BS hotel called the Thunderbird Inn. He arrived Thursday evening. That would’ve been almost immediately after slipping the border! he showed up in a Chrysler PT Cruiser, and was checked by a woman who payed in cash. She stayed 20 minutes and left. Manager Kevin Walker thought nothing more about the mystery guest until Sunday Morning. This was past checkout so Walker decided to see what was up. He entered the room to found Jenkins dead in the closet. He had hung himself with his own belt (assuming that the mystery woman in the PT Cruiser didn’t string him up). So in the end he had run so fast that he caught himself up.
if you can’t be good, be fast?
So the story of the two failed player seems to have ended. It wrapped up about as quick as a movie of the week, but it’s ended with a lot of unanswered questions too. Then again this is the age of reality TV. So Colombo with a neatly organized explanation that answers everything would be out of place. This seems more like it will get kicked over to CSI for the too be continued treatment (though slow motion replay might be more in order). By the time forensics comes up with 3 or 4 most likely explanations, our limited attention spans may have become occupied with some other tabloid type story. Why there’s probably a celebrity sex tape being cooked up right now! Our attention spans are far too narrow to wait around for answers. Perhaps that’s just as well. Cause another thing that distinguishes Fiore and Jenkins is that they actually made it to the “till death do us part” part. They manged to go the distance, though in highly time compressed manner. If life is a long walk on a short pier, then the best you can do is take your time! “Slow and steady” is highly under rated!
Comic-con has come a long way. Not so long ago it used to be the exclusive domain of nerds. A convention floor was pretty much wall to wall geeks with plastic Vulcan ears and dental retainers. Then things started to change.
It was the inclusion of young women that seemed to raise Comic-cons’ profile. Now in addition to young men who had never dated there were attractive chicks decked out in their comic based fetish gear! hotties dressed up as Wonder Woman and Batgirl seemed to push the proceedings a little closer to the main stream.
Something was to happen to Comic-con that was to have more impact than some assorted coeds dressed as Xena and She-ra however. Hollywood was starting to run out of ideas. No one can be quit sure how Tinseltown stumbled across the comics as a source of script material. Maybe it was the realization that comic based movies would have a built in audience. maybe it was that fact hat both Superman and Batman had become franchises (Nic Cage’s Ghost Rider has proved that any comic based movie, no matter what the title or how sloppy the execution, is a potential blockbuster!). The result was that a whole slew of comic based movies went into development, and the studios descended on the comic conventions as a venue to promote the films.
These days A list actors and actresses routinely make the rounds of what was once the realm of nerdom. The recently married Milla Jovovich (she hooked up with long time boyfriend and baby daddy to Ever Gabbo, Paul Resident Evil Anderson yesterday in a twilight ceremony! Though Anderson is one of the biggest geeks around he finally bagged the coolest chick on the planet. How’s that for revenge of the nerds?). Soon others would follow.
Now a days world’s sexiest nerd Megan Fox is a Comic con mainstay (she claims that she originally wanted to be a comic book illustrator). Comic con is doing so well that the regulars, the ones who were into to comics before comic books were cool, are beginning to wonder whether Comic con might have sold out and become to commercial, and consequently soulless. The may have a point. I can’t help feeling a little nostalgic for the days when I was the only chick in a room full of over bites, asthma inhalers, and chronic acne ( being a drift in a herd of nerds was creepy enough to make my skin crawl and my hair stand on end; but that was offset by the feeling of inclusion into something that out siders just didn’t get. Besides, Dad was pleased that I was spending time in situations that couldn’t possibly result in teen pregnancy!). So in the spirit of nostalgia let’s take a look back at what comic conventions used to be, when they still had their purity and innocence. Just watch the following entertaining little clip!
Look out Hollywood. Ridiculous gossip has a new epicenter!
President Barack Obama has set tongues wagging with bold plans and strange idioms. The strange idiom is a reference to the dog days of summer Washington style. Apparently in the final days of summer those who work inside the belt way get “wee wee’d up”, according to the Pres. Now this has drawn summer humorous commentators as they speculate about what getting wee wee’d up means. Even if you’ve never heard the term before the context make the meaning clear: Washingtonians are getting shook up to the point that their cola is in a fizz!
Americans like to know that in an emergency the best medical care in the world is just out of reach!
So what is it that’s got their piss boiling? Well that would be Obama’s bold plans to reform American health care. it seems that many neocons are afraid that Obama’s creeping socialism will deprive the country of a standard of medical care that most can’t afford or access! They’ve been beating the drum on that too – implying via the usual opinion outlets that if the Presidents evil plans go unchecked then tax payers will wind up foot the bill for life sentence prison convicts to get sex reassignment surgery while widows and orphans drop like flies from hay fever and allergies. Just like in Canada! Besides, exorbitant health bills keep avergae Americans healthy and productive. Who can afford to get sick down there?
Too bad there isn’t an effective treatment for verbal diarrhea
The constant prating & prattling seems to be having an affect too. In spite of stabilizing the economy and the international terror situation Obama’s public approval ratings are plummeting to George W Bush levels. Currently he’s running at 57%. W had been running the country into the ground for 6 years before his rating fell that low! Americans were willing to cut W a lot of slack.
Health Care Reform – political kryptonite!
Obama’s ratings had been 80% before he took on medical reform. That’s a fight that’s not worth picking. Hilary Clinton learned that the hard way when Bill appointed her the point person on health reform in the early days of his presidency. He needed to gice her an important but impossible challenge to keep her busy, so that she wouldn’t be tempted to meddle in the real business of politics. Now Hilary is as tough and intelligent as Madonna, and actually managed to hang in for 2 years on that gig before she finally retreated with her tail between her legs. Now Barack Obama is facing the same kind of resistance. Who would’ve guessed that deconstructing and reforming the auto industry would’ve been a snap in comparison?
So what does the future hold for Megan Fox? Well most people would’ve would’ve bet money on about 3 more Transformer sequels. That is up until she had a sort of vocal falling out with director Michael Bay. She kind of pointed out, during a TV interview, that Transformers wasn’t exactly A Man for All Seasons. That was right after she told the host and audience that she wasn’t gonna sit there an blow smoke up there ass.
