Perez highlights

[Aleluvscp]

Yes I know most of you hate Perez (if not all of you :rolleyes:) but every once in a while he may post something laugh-worthy or not too insulting and since most of you never visit the site just thought I'd post some highlights here :D

 

(All quoted straight from Perezhilton.com)

 

Uhmmm….

 

Can someone pretty please tell him how to properly display the flag to photographers???

 

George W. Bushcontinues to embarrass us in Beijing.

 

The commander in chief has been catching many of the matches, especially the swimming and Michael Phelps.

 

Thankfully, W.'s daughter corrected him and he eventually turned the flag around!

 

 

 

 

Seperated At Birth

Leslie Panettiere. Right: The Tin Man.

 

 

 

 

 

Pissing Off His Employers

Dane Cook hates the poster for his new movie, and he wants the world to know about it!

 

The actor just posted the following on his official blog:

 

"Dear Diary

 

Before the downpour let me just say that my new movie, "My Best Friends Girl," is the best / funniest film I've done yet. It's got a terrific cast. Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin, Jason Biggs, and myself really kicked the funny around. This movie showcases our talents accordingly as it expands on them. It's a fun R-rated flick. An edgy comedy with a dash of romance.

 

That being said, let me address the fact that although I'm not a marketing major, I have a bit of a trusted reputation after 18 years self promoting. I'd like to inform you I had no say in this marketing campaign, but if I did, things would be different since it is obvious that this poster is boring / odd and has zero to do with the movie I performed in.

 

Here are a few things that truly blow about my upcoming movie poster to promote the release of the film opening on September 19th:

 

1. Graphics:

Whoever photoshopped our poster must have done so at taser point with

3 minutes to fulfill their hostage takers deranged obligations. They should have called Donnie Hoyle and had him give a tutorial using "You Suck at Photoshop" templates. This is so glossy it makes Entertainment Weekly look wooden.

 

2. My head:

The left side of my face seems to be melting off of my skull. I guess I am looking directly into the Ark of the Covenant? Are they going for the bells palsy thing here? My left side looks like Brittany Spears' vagina.

 

3. The Stare.

My character apparently has fallen in love with a strand of Kate Hudsons hair. Kate's mannequin is desperately in love with the inside of my right ear while Jason is half stunned, half corsage.

 

4. Lips:

It looks like I'm wearing Maybelline Water Shine Diamonds Liquid Lipstick. My characters name is now Winter Solstice and I'm a hooker with a heart of gold. Jason is my floral carrying pimp, while Kate is my first trick!

 

5. Fashion:

My character is sporting a very high collar I mean damn they should be snow capped at that altitude. It's going for the vampire lurking in the castle basement vibe. An Olympic pole vaulter would have a tough go clearing that collar. I'm also able to turn my head comfortably 180 degrees, because I was raised in an abandoned barn by a family of owls.

 

6. Flesh:

It's no secret that I'm more rugged facially due to a drunken visit by the teen acne fairy, but according to this poster I've got perfect porcelain flesh. I look like the fuckin' bathroom floor at Caesars Palace. One of Marie Osmond's dolls would look at me and say "shit … that guys got flawless skin!"

 

7. Hair:

It's actually a close up shot of Tom Sellecks Magnum P.I. mustache they photo-slapped on my noggin'.

 

8. The set:

Pick one. This entire film takes place:

 

A. on Gattaca

B. at the Fortress of Solitude

C. inside a crystal wind chime

 

9. The cast:

Alec Baldwin is so fucking funny in this movie! Is he on the poster? I think so. He plays the wise talking plant Jason is clutching.

 

10. Final thoughts:

I set out to make a movie like the contemporary men and women, that you and I respect, are making. My generation of comedians, actors, directors and producers that I wish to collaborate with as I build a solid body of work.

 

Granted, one poster stinking up the joint isn't the end of the world. Yet it sends the wrong message about our movie and I just wanted you to know, that I feel the pain. I really love the film and I know from past missteps marketing wise that the wrong poster sends the wrong audience into the theater.

 

Thanks again for all of your support. If you have not seen the red band trailer (which is excellent and represents the flick accordingly) click on the link at the top of this page.

 

PS - "Its funny what love can make you do." I just threw up all over this awful poster.

Wow, wait … it looks better.

 

Hey … I love my new movie. Jeez … it IS funny what love can make you do."

(:lol:)

 

 

 

 

 

China's Opening Ceremony Lies

There was no need to fake!

 

Beijing's Olympics Games Opening Ceremony would have been brilliant without some of the faking shiz that's now coming to light.

 

When we heard about the fake fireworks bruhaha, in our minds we gave China a 'pass' because of the 'safety' excuse issued.

 

But the latest scandal that has emerged has wound us up!

 

Remember that little girl in red (left photo) who 'sang' and captured our hearts?

 

Well, turns out she was lip synching!

 

Apparently, the 'real' singer (pictured to the right) wasn't cute enough to perform.

 

A Chinese official said, "The main consideration was the national interest. The child on the screen should be flawless in image, in her internal feelings, and in her expression."

 

It just doesn't seem right for a government to be all "Hollywood".

 

The U.S. would have let a less cute, better singer take center stage at a national event, right?

Bad News For Harry Potter Fans

There will be NO Harry Potter movie this November.

 

We repeat.

 

No Harry Potter movie this November, as previously expected and announced.

 

The popular franchise's release has been postponed to July 2009, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

 

The studio, Warner Bros. is blaming the Writers' Strike.

 

Because of the strike, some of the big 'tentpole' movies they were counting on for Summer 2009 won't be ready, so they'll need HP to get them through next year's big season.

 

They say:

 

"Like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films-changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of," he said. "We agreed the best strategy was to move 'Half-Blood Prince' to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer."

 

Don't worry!

 

We're expecting the Twilight movie coming out in the fall to give us a good fix!

Colin Powell for Obama?

Former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell might be breaking ranks with the Republican party!

 

The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol says that Colin Powell will show up to the Democratic National Convention in Denver on the week of August 25th specifically to back presumptive presidential nominee, Barack Obama.

 

“He may well give a speech at the Democratic convention explaining his endorsement of Obama. This is not an absolute done deal, but these people are very confident that Powell will endorse Obama."

 

Kristol also went on to say that he thinks Powell still has “a high respect” for Obama's Republican rival John McCain.

 

So, is he trying to make excuses for what the GOP will nonetheless see as 'treachery'?

 

Anyway, eff labels.

 

It should be about who's going to do the best for the country!

 

 

 

 

 

Another Chinese Olympic Scandal

We thought some of those girls looked quite young!

 

The Associated Press has dug up some Chinese media reports that show one of the girls who helped the Chinese women's gymnastics team capture gold at the Olympics on Tuesday did not meet minimum age requirements for competition.

 

Apparently, just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government's news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13!

 

Gymnasts have to be or turn 16 years old during the Olympic year to be eligible for the games. That would have totally made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week!!

 

In its report on November 3rd, Xinhua identified He as one of "10 big new stars" who made a splash at China's Cities Games

 

The AP found the Xinhua report on the site Thursday morning and saved a copy of the page.

 

Later that afternoon, the website was still working but the page was no longer accessible. Sports editors at the state-run news agency would not comment for publication.

 

Shady, shady!

 

Zhang Hongliang, an official with China's gymnastics delegation at the games, said Thursday the differing ages which have appeared in Chinese media reports had not been checked in advance with the gymnastics federation:

 

"It's definitely a mistake. Never has any media outlet called me to check the athletes' ages."

 

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has said repeatedly that a passport is the "accepted proof of a gymnast's eligibility," and that He and China's other gymnasts have presented ones that show they are age eligible. The International Olympics Committee also checked the girls' passports and deemed them valid.

 

We wonder how easy it is to doctor passports in China!

 

Can't they do DNA tests to determine age?

 

Maybe the IOC should look into that for the 2012 London games to make sure everything is fair!!
