Amanda Bynes Comments On Her Most Recent Arrest

"I've never had a bong in my life!"
Posted by: Trent on May 24, 2013| 7 Comments

After Amanda Bynes was arrested in NYC last night on charges of marijuana possession, endangerment and evidence tampering, she spent the night in jail before she and her sorry wig got hauled into court earlier today so that she could be arraigned. The ruling judge saw fit to release Amanda on her own recognizance without having to post bail and that was it … she was free again. Bynes managed to keep quiet for a few hours after her release from custody but this afternoon, just as I expected, she posted a message on her official Twitter profile in response to the hullabaloo that was generated by her arrest. Click below to read, in her own words, what she has to say about her bust. More »

Disney Pixar Now Promises The ‘Integrity & Appearance’ Of Princess Merida Will Be Kept Intact

It Looks Like the Protest was a Success
Posted by: Trent on May 18, 2013| 2 Comments

Earlier this month the Walt Disney Company crowned Brave character Princess Merida as its 11th Disney Princess and celebrated by giving the character a makeover that slimmed her down and “sexed” her up. As a result, angry fans launched a public protest of the changes and demanded that Disney Pixar undo the changes to the character so that she can “exist” as non-glam character she was created to be. Today we hear from Disney Pixar officially on Facebook that they are listening to the fan backlash and have promised that the “integrity and appearance” of Princess Merida will NOT be changed after all. I’d say that the angry fans handily won this battle. Click below to read the full text of Disney Pixar‘s Merida statement. More »

Yesterday we learned the very tragic news that Chris Kelly, one half of the 90s duo Kriss Kross, passed away at the far too young age of 34.

Jimmy Will Take the Reigns Next Year, Production Moves to NYC
Posted by: Trent on April 3, 2013| 12 Comments

Welp, it’s official, y’all. For weeks now there has been lots of chatter going around suggesting that Jimmy Fallon would be replacing Jay Leno as the host of The Tonight Show … and just this morning, NBC confirmed the rumors as true. Leno will leave the show in 2014 and Fallon will step in as the new host! To be honest, I don’t watch late night TV talk shows at all but … I greatly approve of this deal. Jimmy Fallon is amazingly talented (as evidenced by his fun week with Justin Timberlake) and I think he will make a great host on The Tonight Show. I’m also not sad to see Jay Leno go away so … it’s a win/win! More »

Then Carrie Fisher revealed that she would be coming back as Princess Leia … and then a day later her PR person clarified that she was “just kidding” and no deal has been signed yet. Today we hear from George Lucas himself and he says, in no uncertain terms, that the Star Wars trio WILL appear in Episode VII … even tho the folks at Disney won’t confirm, he promises it’s going to happen.
