Appearing on the Today Show to discuss Jackson tapes, and a new book, “The Michael Jackson Tapes,” by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, he revealed some very strange things about Michael Jackson. Of course we knew these would come, but I guess it is still shocking to actually hear about them.

While the main point of his appearance was that Jackson had “lost the will to live”, and made claims that Jackson didn’t want to go out of the house because he felt he looked like a lizard, there were some other very odd claims made.

The Rabbi made the claim that MJ thought he could have healed Adolph Hitler during one of his fantasy Cancun resorts vacations into his fantasy world mind.

“Hitler was a genius orator,” Jackson said, according to several news reports. “To make that many people turn and change and hate, he had to be a showman and he was.”

But Jackson also thought he could have changed the man who launched the Holocaust. “Absolutely,” he said. “You have to help them, give them therapy, teach them that somewhere, something in their life went wrong.”

The book was released today and talks about many things that have not been heard before. Such as sexual talks with Madonna, and his love for Lady Diana.

Family Guy Part 3. Yes…it is going to be the 3rd version of Family guy on Fox, and all 3 will be on the same day. Seth MacFarlane now owns Fox apparently.

Family Guy was cancelled in 2002 siting poor ratings, only to be brought back acouple years later and remain a regular on the Sunday Night animation schedule that Fox has had for years with The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and even Futurama. All 3 shows better than any of the 3 versions of Family Guy in my opinion.

What do I mean by Family Guy Part 3? Well…other than being less vulgar, both American Dad, and The Cleveland Show follow almost the exact same family formulas. American Dad has the All-American husband, wife, son, and daughter on diet pills, but instead of Brian the dog, they have an Alien as the talking pet. The Cleveland Show is the same exact thing. Instead of a dog they have a talking bear that hangs with Cleveland who seems to be a lot like PEter to me.

While none of these shows are completely the same, they are all the same format, with some of the same stale jokes. You can’t watch American Dad, or The Cleveland Show and not think that it is a carbon copy of Family Guy. While I do enjoy Family Guy at times, I don’t want to see 3 versions of it every Sunday.

Talk about a silly concept argghhhh.

I guess some matey (yeah..that’s enough of that facade) did well enough marketing this idea that they have gotten it to be officially called “International Pirate Day”, or “Official Talk Like a Pirate Day”. Either that or got enough people drunk together to spread the word.

It appears that this is the self-proclaimed official site of “Talk Like a Pirate Day”. They have even given you tips on How to talk like a pirate, also in German! They tell you why, the history, if there really is one, and share the pirate party plans.

While this is just some lighthearted fun, it seems as if this has become pretty well known over the last few years. At least i tend to hear about it year after year now. Maybe the Facebook Pirate Ap with ads for apidexin all over it has a lot to do with it .

Give me your booty!

What?

That’s right. A soap opera was on the air for 72 years! Can you even comprehend this?

Go cry on your outdoor pillows because the final episode aired today, and is being replaced by a game show. Not jsut any game show. Another television classic (not re-runs of course), Let’s Make a Deal!.

“Guiding Light” began on radio in 1937, then moved to TV in 1952. So it was on television alone for 57 years. In recent decades it was set in the midwestern town of Springfield, where it focused on the Spaulding, Lewis and Cooper clans.

Along with veteran cast members, the show also played host to many actors who left to find larger stardom elsewhere. These include Kevin Bacon, JoBeth Williams, James Earl Jones, Allison Janney, Brittany Snow, Hayden Panettiere and Melina Kanakaredes.

The final episode featured the show’s super-couple Reva and Josh (I have never heard of them ) who began on the show in the early 1980s.

They rendezvoused, according to plan, at the local lighthouse and declared their undying love. Then these soul mates climbed into Josh’s pickup truck.

“You ready?” asked Josh.

“Always,” Reva said.

And they drove away, as the words “The End” flashed on the screen before a final fade-out.

Seems as if this “spoof” was 5 years ago now. I guess it was quite distant in the world of entertainment, but we all know that these awards tend to seem well out of date when they are given anyways.

Tina Fey was a big part of the 2008 Presidential Election process, as Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and many others in comedy have been very influential in the presidential races over the years. They have become one of the major factors as the major cable news outlets seem less likely to be “Fair and Balanced” than the comedic takes on the process have been. Like watching people play at ping pong tables week to week with how their views change so dramatically to who is in power to try and con audiences.

Enough of that though. This is about Tina Fey winning an Emmy for her portrayal of Sarah Palin this past year.

In winning her award, Fey beat two contenders from her own comedy, 30 Rock, which had led the way with 22 nominations.

However, the show was only named winner of two categories – including best comedy, which it scooped last year too.

As Fey collected her trophy, she made reference to Palin, who resigned in July as governor of Alaska less than a year after she was chosen as vice-presidential contender.

“Mrs Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs Palin.”

Whether you consider Warhol’s work to be works of great art, or even good for that matter, one thing you can say about them is that they are regarded enough to snatch up to $1 Million a portrait.

On Sept. 3, a housekeeper for noted art collector Richard L. Weisman walked into the dining room of Weisman’s residence and saw that 11 Warhol large portraits that had been on the walls the day before were gone, and immediately phoned the police.

(NOTE: They don’t go into to detail on this, but don’t you find that sort of curious? I mean she just called the police without contacting her employer first? What made her think they were stolen? I mean it could be she DID talk to the employer, but wouldn’t you think that the homeowner would make this call? Odds are that she isn’t in need of any affordable medical assistance program after this theft . Just speculating like I am watching a big “heist” movie here I guess…lol)

There is a $1 million reward from an anonymous source for information that results in information that ultimately leads to the recovery of these portraits. Included in the lot is “The Athletes” depicting Dorothy Hamill, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali and Chris Evert, and was commissioned by Richard L. Weisman who comes from a renowned family of collectors.

His parents, Frederick and Marcia, were important figures in art circles, amassing a significant collection that centered on works by post-World War II artists. The younger Weisman was friends with Warhol and commissioned the square, brightly colored silk screen paintings of famous athletes in the late 1970s — a period when Warhol produced hundreds of works for wealthy patrons able to pay the large sums the artist charged.

The total value of the work could not immediately be discerned. However, Tyler Lemkin, director of the Greenfield Sacks Gallery in Santa Monica, which recently opened a show of Warhol prints, said that original Warhol paintings on canvas such as the ones that were stolen “start in the high six figures or $1 million.”

“This is a huge deal. You’re talking about a major collector who has lost a significant amount of important art,” Lemkin said.

The girl that everyone loves to hate, Courtney Love has spoken up like all the other drug riddled celebrities do when they want to RAGE. They go on their Twitter accounts and put it out there for all their loser followers to see first.

Activision, the creator of the Guitar Hero franchise, has released Guitar Hero 5 with the image of Curt Cobain as an avatar. Cobain’s Earthly “love”, Courtney Love says that it is illegal to use his image with out her consent. Apparently nobody knows if they got any consent at all as Activision has yet to respond to the accusations.

Let me make a wild guess though as to whether or not Activision, the people that have worked with Metallica, The Beatles, Ozzy Osborne, and many other legendary musicians to get their consent, or Courtney Love who could use a bit of eye wrinkle cream and another stint in rehab are correct.

Let’s just say that if I were a betting man, I would put my money on Activision doing their due diligence in this case.
