I am not sure what to believe. It’s being reported that Newton-John’s ex-boyfriend, Patrick McDermott, has been found in a Mexican sleeping village and just “wants to be left alone.” He disappeared amidst financial troubles in 2005, days after he and Newton-John ended their 9 year relationship. It’s believed that he’s been working as a ship’s mate on a tourist yacht ever since. If it’s true that he’s been found, ‘Dateline’ will probably get the credit. They hired a private investigator to track him, who reported finding him not too long ago, but no one, including Newton-John believed it. I’ll believe it when I see him sitting down with Barbara Walters.

Oprah Talks Animal Sex on Discovery’s ‘Life’
Whenever a show discusses animal sex, I curl up on my couch with a big bowl of popcorn and then spend my entire next day annoying my friend’s with lots of stories about how animals do it. So it’s fair to say that this new series is right up my alley. Click on the links below so you too can have a great water cooler discussion.

Emma Thompson Auditioned for Sharon Stone’s Role in ‘Basic Instinct’
This surprised me. Apparently, Emma Thompson lost the lead role in ‘Basic Instinct’ to Sharon Stone. I just can’t picture Thompson sexing it up as Catherine Tramell. The film catapulted Sharon Stone into a Box Office star, and went on to gross $117 million (which is a very big deal in 1992). I also heard rumors that Meg Ryan was offered the lead role, but turned it down because she didn’t want to do the sex scenes. Meg Ryan has yet to confirm that though.
Courtney Cox Refused to use a Body Double on ‘Cougar Town’
Courtney Cox admits that she refused to use a body double on her new show ‘Courgar Town,’ because wanted to “show the real side of 40.” Ummm…..what? Does Courtney Cox represent the real side of anything? Her body is incredible and looks better than most 20 year olds. I find it funny that she acts like showing herself in a bra and underwear was a huge sacrifice.
‘When You’re Strange’ – New Documentary on ‘The Doors’ Debuts April 9th
I confess I never really understood the appeal of ‘The Doors.’ I knew a lot of guys that had Jim Morrison’s poster on their wall, but I just never got it. Then I went to Paris and saw Morrison’s grave, and, at the very least, I understood the amount of love people had for Morrison. The interest in the group doesn’t seem to wane, and this new documentary reflects that. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2009, to great reviews. The only complaint involved the narration, so Johnny Depp was brought on to re-narrate the film. This is not the first film about the group. Oliver Stone directed a Doors biopic in 1991, but fans complained that it was historically inaccurate. Unlike Stone’s biopic, it seems that writer/director Tom DiCillo got his facts straight. See the trailer below.
Erykah Badu Likes to Frighten Little Children by Stripping Down Naked
I am a little late in reporting this story, but after hearing about it, I could not resist. Erykah Badu stripped down naked at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, while shooting her new music video for her song ‘window seat.’ She then pretended to get shot in the head at the exact site where JFK was shot (no I did not make this up). The problem is that she did this in a public place, with little children around. She has since been charged with disorderly conduct and ordered to pay a fine. Surprisingly, most of the public outrage surrounds her disrespecting JFK, and not her running around naked in public. Had she rubbed two brain cells together, she could have shot the video with her clothes on, and later altered it to make her appear naked. I’m sure that would destroy the “art” behind the video though. Watch it below at your own risk.
Top Screen Sirens Chosen – Reveals Men and Women have very Different Taste in Women
Men are always telling me that “women don’t know what a hot chick looks like.” An argument then ensues about who is hotter: Jessica Biel or Jennifer Garner? Well a new poll in England may solidify this point. When asked to vote on the top screen siren of all time, women chose Audrey Hepburn, and men chose Ursula Andress, of ‘Dr. No’ fame. See the beautiful women below.

The Lebowski Fest is Today!
‘The Dude’ must be one of the best characters in cinema history. So when I heard that the Lebowski Fest was today, I had to do some research to see how Jeff Bridges feels about the honor. Here’s what he said: “I’ve been to a Lebowski Fest! Oh yeah! I love it! Oh gosh! Well, I’m a big fan of that movie. That’s a great movie.” He also said that he was upset when the movie first came out and did not get a lot of attention (it only made $17 million in theaters), but is glad to see it has legs.
Slash Streams his new Solo Album Online
Dangerous or genius? Slash is streaming his new solo album online for free. The self titled album is available for purchase on April 6th, but click the link below to hear it now. Some of the collaborations include: Ozzy Osbourne; Chris Cornell; Fergie; Dave Grohl; Kid Rock; and Iggy Pop. This is not the first time an artist has made their album available for free online. In 2007, Radiohead made their album available online for whatever price people wanted to pay. Unlike Radiohead though, Slash is not giving away the album, he is just sampling it, probably hoping that consumers will get excited and purchase it when it comes out.

Movie Review: ‘The Bounty Hunter’
This film simply didn’t work. They put two very beautiful people together, and created a thin storyline to keep them together for the entire film. Jennifer Aniston plays a journalist that skips bail to track down a story, and Gerard Butler plays the cop turned bounty hunter, tracking down his ex-wife. The underlying plot surrounds the story that she’s tracking down. I didn’t care too much about that story, and my guess is neither will movie goers, as it’s pretty sloppy. I would still recommend going to see it though, because those two sure are beautiful on the big screen.
