Some people need to be kept away from a hot microphone at all costs.  One of the prime examples of this is a rapper by the name of Kanye West.  Already famous for his anti-George Bush rant during a live telethon designed to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims and his constant hissy-fits at previous award shows, Kanye acted like a jackass again last night when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at MTV’s Video Music Awards.

Sure, West has apologized and Beyonce Knowles gave Swift uninterrupted stage time later in the evening to make up for West’s boorish behavior, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that the man has a history of being a complete moron.  How he even made it to the stage uninvited is beyond me; shouldn’t security be on the lookout for stuff like this and keep strange men off the stage? I’m not a fan ofTaylor Swift; I’m also not a fan of Kanye West, Beyonce, or pretty much anyone else remotely involved with this year’s VMAs, but that doesn’t mean Swift didn’t earn her time in the spotlight or that she didn’t have the best video of the year according to whoever decides those things.

I believe that, for the good of all parties, Kanye needs to spend the next award show or five at home.  He’s clearly not capable of being taken out into public, because he’s shown he can’t behave himself.   Not agreeing with the winner is fine, but you can’t interrupt the lifelong dream of a 19-year-old girl by being an idiot.  He’s a 32-year-old man, not a baby.  The temper tantrums are unseemly.

Kristen Bell, known to TV fans as intrepid teen detective Veronica Mars and the Sarah Marshall of Forgetting Sarah Marshall fame, is as cute as a bug’s ear.  There’s no getting around that, especially not after her recent appearance on Ellen.  The only thing cuter than Kristen Bell is Kristen Bell meeting a sloth.  During [...]

Well, guess who won’t go away?  If you said Casey Anthony, you might be correct.  A video diary post surfaced on a pay-per-view website that is reported to be Casey Anthony’s actual video blog; it was quickly reposted to YouTube and later confirmed by Casey’s attorney, Cheney Mason.  Looks like that whole “go into hiding [...]

It’s been a long time since director Ridley Scott mined the science-fiction and horror universes for film ideas.  After all, since blazing a trail with Alien in 1979, Scott did Blade Runner, Legend, and not a whole lot taking place in fantasy worlds.  However, Ridley Scott is returning to the sci-fi horror genre with the [...]

Summer is right around the corner, so that means it’s time for the summer movie blockbusters to start poking their heads out around the Christmas tree, smile, wave, and remind you that soon, the explosion-filled movies will be greeting you at the multiplex.  One of the most eagerly-awaited blockbusters is Christopher Nolan’s final tilt at [...]

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve never really heard of Elf on the Shelf until recently.  Apparently, it’s a stalker elf that watches children in a creepy, evil fashion to make sure they’re doing good and not misbehaving like a drunk Frosty at a Christmas parade.  That’s all well and good, but I need [...]

Once upon a time, there was a legendary comedy team.  They had honed their act on Vaudeville stages before finding success in Hollywood making short features for Columbia Pictures.  The best known incarnation is Larry Fine, Moe Howard, and Curly Howard, AKA the Three Stooges.  Their life story is fascinating; this is NOT their life [...]

When it comes to marketing, the department store Kohl’s generally puts on good ads.  However, sometimes they make mistakes; everyone does, but Kohl’s mistake is more egregious due to the presence of viral video superstar Rebecca Black.  That’s right, Kohl’s went all out with a Black Thursday/Friday ad featuring Rebecca Black’s Friday.  Kohl’s Rebecca Black [...]
