Captain Jack Sparrow talks “Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides” and orders a Bloody Mary!

Savvy?

Johnny Depp, as the dashing and naughty Captain Jack Sparrow directly addressed the camera to discuss the new "Pirates" film at ComicCon 2010 over the weekend. It's rather charming. I know. Shocking! Depp/Sparrow, charming? What the? Here's a quick little synopsis of the upcoming film...

via Techland.com:

"Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds himself on an unexpected journey to the fabled Fountain of Youth when a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz) forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane)."

BARMAN!

“Human Centipede” Director, Tom Six Receives Death Threats, and couldn’t care less.

The Human Centipede Jewelry Line via: Etsy

As you may or may not know, DivaJulia and I are a little obsessed with the movie, The Human Centipede. It's more about how insane the movie, and the idea behind it is, rather than the movie itself. The movie hasn't received cult status just yet, but there have been HC tattoos. You can even get a chew toy for your cat or a nice cheap necklace on Etsy!

Nice tat, Fräulein.

The Human Centipede CAT toy. What? Nothing for a 3-Dog??

However, while we can see the humor in the movie, some people can't. Dutch director, Tom Six said that he expected his movie to divide audiences. "On Facebook people made a fan page for myself and the film," he told the BBC. "Some people say I have to be shot and some people want to sterilise me - and others say I'm the most genius film-maker there is."

Say it with us! "FEEEED HERRRR!" Oh, Dieter Laser.

Well, I don't know about all that. Tom also suggested that he doesn't take the threats seriously, "I take it all with a blink of the eye, because why would you shoot a film-maker? I don't really care about it."

There are two more Human Centipede movies in the works so he can look forward to more threats. This sounds like a good idea for a movie though, don't you think?

Angelina has been looking GORGEOUS at “SALT” Premieres

Legs for days...

Back in Black in Tokyo...and with her badass BACK tattoo.

Angelina Jolie is workin' it OUT on the red carpet while promoting her new film, Salt. Good LAWD she looks glam. (As opposed to yesterday's photos at the airport in Japan, wherein she had to scold Maddox for bitchslapping Pax right in the face. I'm still giggling.)

Let's not forget the red Versace dress in Russia over the weekend for the SALT premiere...

BOOM. Russian RED, bitches.

And this lucky little dolly...

I don't care. Angie's sweet. (Odd, but lovely.)

You KNOW Angie wanted to slip this little sweetheart into her pocket...after all, they don't have a Russian child yet. Maybe they could adopt that poor newborn that belongs to Mel Gibson and Oksana? Just a thought.

Today’s Blind Item: She’s a puker and restricter, not a “cleanser” Edition

"When you watch interviews with or read articles about this actress, she likes to talk about how she stays slim and beautiful. Of course it’s all about her incredibly healthy lifestyle! She claims her body is the result of nutritious – preferably organic – foods, wholesome cleanses, and body-strengthening exercises.

So we wonder when she’s going to gives us the scoop on some of her lesser-known beauty tricks: Plastic surgery (tummy tuck, lower face lift, botox); the consumption of fast-food bean burritos (she left seven wrappers in the back of a hired car); the cleansing effects of bulimia (she has a favorite toothbrush for that); and bone-thinning that would rival that of 90-year-old women."

Hmmmmm....

Oh. My. Gyaaaaaah! Now listen. You know my whole story about The Eating Disorder. (Caps required.) For me, this COUGHblinditemCOUGH is oh, so, interesting because of just whom this person IS vs. whom she PRETENDS to be...

Comic-Con 2010 Cosplay: If It’s Geeky, Girls Will Make It Slutty

Comic-Con 2010! A glorious expo that attracts the geeky, the nerdy, and the overall obsessed.

Oh, and girls dressed like skanks.

Cosplay, the art of recreating the attire of a fictional character to wear as a real-life costume, has many different forms. Sometimes the costumes are impressively spot-on. Sometimes it’s just a fat man in a dress. But more often than not, in this world full of young people clawing for the spotlight, it’s skinny females dressed as skanky versions of nerd icons.

Now, I’m not saying I’m against this in the least - it’s all in good fun! Hot chicks know that skin and cleavage plus a little added nerd-dom gets them endless attention at expos, so why should they stop? They shouldn’t. Because as long as they’re there, and as long as they’re slutty, we’ll all keep looking at them.

Boba Fett from Star Wars...sort of?

To Star Wars fans, Boba Fett is known by two terms: “bad” and “ass.” He’s one of the most worshipped and idolized Star Wars characters of all time, and, while I appreciate this nod to Mr. Fett, I’m going to go ahead and say this armor would be completely worthless in a real Blaster battle.

“DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS!”

Who doesn’t like Ghostbusters? The films are classic. Now, I’m not sure if the wardrobe department on the set of the movies considered this “look” at all, but hell, they should have. Think of how much more popular a sexy version of Ghostbusters would be! Wait… now it sounds like I’m pitching a porno. Ignore me.

Snow White and the DDD Cups

I’m sorry, but this is a total cop-out. Last time I checked, Snow White is not a “geek” icon, so I’m going to assume this is her leftover costume from Kappa Kappa Beta’s Halloween party last year. I’m sure if you looked closely, you could see Kokanee stains.

GET THE RAID®!

Either this girl is in desperate need of a giant shoe, or she’s attempting to predict the costume for the new Spider-Man movie. Personally, I like it. Maybe if the first Spider-Man movies had more shiny red skirts, Hollywood wouldn’t have to REMAKE THEM.

Just like the real heroes… but SEX-AY!

Sometimes I wonder if these girls who continue to dress up like stripper versions of America’s most beloved Super Heroes realize what these characters actually stand for. They stand for justice. Peace. Liberty. Courage. Strength. Wisdom. And most of all, standing up for the little guy.

Then I think, well, they don’t seem to care about any of those things, but they DO have little guys standing up for THEM, so it evens out! Get it? It’s a sexual joke. By “little guys” I mean “penises.” But by explaining the joke, it’s completely lost its comedic appeal. And what’s Dipped In Cream without the hilarious sexual innuendo?

I’m callin’ it. Those things are REAL.

Now, this person’s actual gender may or may not be appropriate for this character in particular. But does that stop… him or her? NO! Should it? NEVER! This is Comic-Con. This is cosplay. This is AMERICA. Let nerds be nerdy, let sluts be slutty, and let FREEDOM RING, BABY!

David Boreanaz is rumored to be an a-hole diva on the set of “Bones”, AND a cheating douche.

So. Yeah. Douche Town.

Once in awhile I get a juicy little something in my inbox that is worth sharing with y'all...maybe even an answer to a Blind Item or two. So. Here's a post about someone I don't necessarily write about--but I found the story interesting. It was provided by a "snitch" from David Boreanaz's series, Bones--appropriate title for the show he was cast back in 2005. Thank goodness Tiger gave him the vocabulary word: TRANSGRESSION. Oh, AND his sloppy seconds name

I'm posting the email I received AS IS. It's more interesting this way--more urgent, if you will.

"David Boreanaz is a real piece of work. while his wife was GIVING BIRTH to their child.... he was "allegedly" txting his then mistress. Yeah, he was "on his way". I guess everyone knew about the mistress on the phone. txting all the time. (well, at least one of them). When it came out that (one of the mistresses) also had a "transgression" with Tiger, David was walking around the set saying See?" she does this all the time. She's not new to having an affair with someone famous!"

OH! and then, when the word got out he was having an affair (remember that?) he was PANICKED asking if text messages can be used in court for divorce. He had to be told, no there needs to be a subpoena for that.

Oh, and he also thinks he's the shit. The BMOC. When they started filming the show, he thought he deserved to be treated like the star he (thinks he) is. What was he in, Angel, Buffy and that witch sister tv show? Deally? That's not what I call heavy hitting work there, Davey. And now that the show's a hit, he's gotten worse.

There's a person on set that's supposed to take care of continuity and that the details are correct. Well, Dave wants to wear an under the arm hostler for his gun like Steve McQueen (he thinks he's Steve McQueen... no shit). But the FBI don't wear their guns like that. They wear them on the hip. He's constantly moving it around, and unbuttoning it, even moved it to the opposite side so he gets to reach into his jacket a little across the body. WHATEVER.

The last straw turned out to be a dinner scene. The person in charge of coordinating the onscreen food with the people that make it kept asking Doopey-Doo what he wanted IN the food so he would eat it on camera. He kept putting it off, and it came time for the work to start and he flipped! Told a producer that (this person) had been pestering him "FOR WEEKS" about the food and that he NEVER wanted to talk directly to (them) ever again. He would only talk with the producer about things like that. So he basically made the producer his bitch instead of doing what he was supposed it. Ugggggh.

Wow. What an arrogant dumbass. I'm gonna say "what goes around, comes back around..." (in Justin Timberlake's falsetto). And let's not forget the latest sexual harassment matter he's now dealing with--he's a full-on douche.

Thank you to my "Secret Source".

xoxo j

Angelina tries to discipline Maddox and Pax in Japan, while Shiloh pretends she doesn’t know any of them.

Maddox, smacking Pax up...look what Pax is wearing, forpitysake.

As a mother of 2 boys, I can SEE Angie is NOT in charge. (Giggle..)

Oh boy. I got the "church giggles" looking at these photos. I have two boys. (Really?? I hadn't heard!) Sure, they're in their 20's now, but it feels like yesterday that Hunter, the younger one would go totally ape-shit when Alex (6 years older) "smiled mean" at him. (That smug, know-it-all, gonna drive you crazy face...he still does it. Sigh.)

Let's revisit one of the better stories of my two naughties:

Alex would tease and make fun of a then 9-year old Hunter til he flipped right out. I came home from work at Nordstrom one night to find Alex grinning that "he's smilin' at me MEAN" smile that drove Hunter out of his ever-lovin' mind.

"Uhhhhhh...Hunter chased me around the house with a knife saying he was gonna 'effing kill' me", was Alex's side of the story.

Like any other good, wholesome mother, I stifled my laughter for about five minutes, then gave Hunter the talk.

"Now, Honey. You shouldn't chase your brother with a knife, mmkay?" (I could hear that "Butthead" laugh of Alex's in the hallway as I chatted with the little brother. HUH HUH HUH HUH)

I love that story. Isn't it just precious?

GAWD. I posted that lovely little story last year (in reference to the bratty Oasis Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel). Fighty dogs. I can't help it. Little boys make me laugh. Their antics, their teasing, their TV shows...all of it. I wanted to have two boys...and did I ever.

Beavis (Cousin Logan) and Butthead (Alex!)-circa 1993/Halloween

I know that look on Angie's face. She wants to laugh; but she's in public and would be called a terrible mother by every media outlet (except mine!) ,if she joined in the fun. Now having said that? Teenage boys aren't as much fun as grade-school boys. They're every bit as emotionally nutty as girls, no matter what anyone says. Hormones, girlfriends, lazy-ass-ness...my hair was on fire more than it wasn't with irritation. But. (She said, "butt"...) I have more inside jokes with those two boys STILL than I do with anyone else...and it's awesome. We speak in shorthand. (Now my affinity for Beavis and Butthead, South Park, Mallrats, etc. makes total sense, right?)

Any mothers of boys out there who GET this??

Mad Men Weekly Update: Public Relations

Who is Don Draper? That question opened the episode ad this new season.

As usual in the Mad Men universe, we skip a year and it's now November. Lots of things have changed for Don both at work and in his personal life. He is being interviewed for Advertising Age about his position at Sterling Cooper Draper Price and instead of being upfront he continues to hide himself, which again comes back to bite him in the butt. Lane, Roger and Bert are none too happy about his what the interview turned out to be and ultimately they're a little tired of the way Don plays. He may be the face of the company, but he's only one part of the team.

Joan - HBIC

SCDP's new digs are a hell of a lot nicer than the drab offices of the former Sterling Cooper. Joan is still in charge and finally has her own office. Harry comes back from L.A. with a serious sunburn. It seems even more brutal after the fact because they lose the Jai Alai account after Hoho gets mad they Don didn't mention him in the interview. Roger is writing a book, let's hope it's about the joys of being a silver fox. Roger and Jane, who are still married for some reason, set Don up on a date with one of Jane's friends, Bethany. She seems nice enough, but Don is totally not feeling it. Maybe he's tired, maybe she reminds me of Betty. While the date should have ended with them getting at least a little frisky in the cab, he simply sends her back to Barbizon. Oh, but don't worry, he's still the same old ho we know and love. Or is he? He has, it seems, taken up hookers. Living alone in his bachelor pad in the West Village could get boring, even without his housekeeper Celia going through his things. So a low budget combo of his old flames, Bobbie Barrett and Rachel Menken, stops by in the middle of the day on Thanksgiving to not take off her bra and slap him in the face. Better than a turkey sandwich I guess.

While Don is making use of the holiday, Betty is with the kids and Henry's family at home. Things look and seem perfect, but in Betty's world they are anything but. Henry's mother doesn't like her son's new wife, asking him "How can you stand living in that man's dirt?" Sally continues to act out, refusing to eat and calling her dad in the middle of the night. Bobby is just, well he's just there. Don takes the kids for the night, except for baby Gene who got put off on Carla. When Don brings them back, the house is empty. When has it not been? Instead having sex in the car, maybe you could pay a bit more attention to your family, huh Betts?! Don brings up the issue his lawyer talked to him about, Henry and Betty need to leave. Of course Betty tries to stand her ground, but her new husband seems to agree with her old one.

Brand new girl - Peggy

The other person who has made the biggest change since the last season is Peggy. She's confident, sporting a new hairdo, drinking and smoking like one of the boys. She bosses her poor assistant, Joey around like, well like she was when she had his job. She and Pete were cute trying to work on the Sugarberry Ham account. Although their approach to it ultimately failed. After the two actresses they hired to be in the commercial were arrested for fighting in public, she goes to Don to ask him for the $280 in bail money. He fusses at her in front of her "fiance" (or whoever he was) shouting, "You want people to think we're idiots." I don't think he was so much mad at the fact that she asked him for money (he does owe her, remember) but that he looked like less of a man in front of his hooker.

Don becomes frustrated with a swimsuit account for Jantzen, he asserts himself and makes them leave. He knew the account would go bust, but hey, he tried. I actually felt his frustration, how can you expect a bikini ad not to show some skin? At the end we see that he took Bert's advice and set up a talk with a man from the Wall Street Journal. He talks about the end of Sterling Cooper, and the beginning of SCDP.

Oh, Don Draper.

Don's back in game mode and that's where he needs to be.

“True Blood” Weekly Low-Down

By Brittani ~ The Girl You Want

Last week's episode of True Blood took some time getting over, in a good way.

Arlene

Sam finally finds out that his family is involved in a dog fighting ring. Calling on Andy with info about all of the "Inter-Parish Intelligence" he tells him where to go and Sam goes off to save his brother. This, after his mother tells Tommy that Sam can't be trusted, because he's not "one of them", and Arlene complains about the huge pitbull that has been near her house. Arlene is still adjusting to Jessica being around, throwing up a cross ("This is why people hate y'all") when she bares her fangs after Arlene cuts her finger.

Jessica decides to play nice by glamouring a mean customer into leaving early and giving all of money as a tip. She then feeds on her in the bathroom. A girl's gotta eat.

Crystal and Jason

Jason interrupts the new star quarterback in the middle of some hot car sex to let him know that once he's a cop, he'll be keeping an eye out for him. I wish Jason's storyline was going better. He's hung up on homely Crystal, who obviously has some secrets. He gets a little too close for comfort and she asks him to forget her because "nobody owns me." When he goes to her house to bring her flowers her beat up fiance answers the door and she pretends she's never even seen him before. Poor Jason--just can't leave them country girls alone.

The other sad love story came from Jesus and Lafayette. The thing that ultimately kept him alive was the downfall of a relationship that never really got started. After finishing their game of pool, Jesus and Laffy talk in his car, and kiss. It was like watching a 15 year old girl's first date. After saying that he could relate to him (was he worried he couldn't?) they go to his house but before anything can start to happen the rednecks he sold V to, the same ones Eric saved him from, are outside bashing his car. It was nice to see Jesus join in with that bat and Lafayette beat the crap out of one of them; where was this before? However, Jesus can't deal with him being a drug dealer, and asks to be taken back to his car. I bet he cried his hooker eyes out. Maybe more so for his car than Jesus though.

Talbot and Sookie

Best scene was Talbot screaming like a girl, along with Sookie, when Bill almost chops Russell's head off. After being dragged back to his place, Russell instructs Lorena to make like Uma and Kill Bill. It's hard to tell who actually loves Bill more, but Lorena is definitely crazier. "I would just love to rip you open and wear your ribcage as a hat." What a lovely hat that would be. After a mention of Godric, Lorena goes off into a small barn, torture chamber (what was that place?!) where she keeps Bill chained up until after sunrise. Even letting Coot and Debbie feast on his blood. While I don't believe Eric telling Sookie she's nothing, he wants her to know as little as possible. The girl is nosy. Russell questions her about what she is, after making up with his wife, Talbot.

The Queeeeeen

The flirting between Eric and Talbot, and then Eric and Russell, oh just get it on already. Russell takes Eric to see the Queen, who is trying to solve her money problems with scratch off lottery tickets. How nice did she look in her white suit and pearls, what tax problems? He finally gets her to commit to him, after he agrees to settle her debts. Right after Eric threatens to rip off her head and throw it into her pool. As Russ said, there is a fine line between feisty and delusional.

Although he didn't get much screen time, I did love Franklin as the vampire in silk pajamas. Tara finally gets her groove back and seduces him into untying her, "I want to experience being high on you." (I want a man to say that to me one day.) She bites his neck off, yikes, and communicates with Sookie telepathically. I love them being back together and kicking ass. They both finally escape the next morning. Tara bashing Franklin's head in (I hope he's not dead-dead) and then she and Sookie beating up the guard, who is being played by Patrick Swayze's brother by the way! Of course Sookie's reaction to her was "what are you doing here?", oh you know, "killing vampires and saving your ass." Yes, Tara is back! Just when it seems that she's about to be attacked by a wolf, again, oh wait it's just Alcide looking for Sookie. Never mind the fact that he's naked, but he does have a car. Sookie finds Bill in the torture barn, almost dead-dead. Lorena throws her across the room and bites her. We end with a scream.

Not as good as the last episode but I am enjoying the pace. More Jessica and Arlene please! They certainly make an odd pair but awesome red headed pair. I can see getting rid of Sam's parents and his brother sticking around. I know that Franklin isn't done with Tara yet....we'll all just have to wait and see.

I Saw “Inception”. Or at least I think I did. And I saw YOU in my dream. I think.

NO SPOILERS!!!

So, I think I saw "Inception" last night with my husband. I also think we sat in the wrong theater (giant complex) for about 10 minutes watching local advertisements before we realized our mistake. We found our way to the SECOND ROW in front of a giant curved screen, and I think it took a few minutes (days?) for my eyes to get accustomed to the proximity of being blasted with sensory overload. I think.

Getting better with age...Leo.

I think Leonardo DiCaprio was better looking than I've seen him...I think he's aging well.

I think I like Ellen Page. She wasn't doing her usual annoying "shenanigans" voice. I think you should know what I'm referring to **COUGHDiabloCodyCOUGH**.

The luminous Marion..

I think Marion Cotillard was more beautiful than ever and I think it was clever of director, Chris Nolan to use snippets of Edith Piaf singing in the film that I think I saw.

Cinema's new star...Joesph Gordon-Levitt. Mark my words.

I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a real actor to watch...yes, go forth with casting JGL as The Riddler, Mr. Nolan.

I think I saw some of the most beautiful men's suits on film, specifically Ken Wantanbe's three-piece gray number. And Cillian Murphy's tie with the big, fat double Windsor knot? Bloody gorgeous. I think. I DO KNOW that I'm a complete men's clothing whore. I will swoon over a French cuffs on a lovely tone-on-tone crisp white dress shirt, a seven-fold tie (if you don't know that is, my friends, you are NOT a men's clothing whore), and functional buttonholes on the cuffs of a suit jacket. (I'm about to faint at the mere image...)

This pic doesn't do the suit justice--but still.

Look. At. Those. Suits.

I think the locations, cinematography and FX were stunning in the film I think I saw.

I think I may have been dreaming that I saw this film--but I don't know for sure.
