Joaquin Phoenix Apologizes on Letterman For Documentary Lies

Two people I care almost nothing about got together this evening to discus some project Phoenix was involved in where he lied about trying to become a rapper in a documentary.

Apparently people thought he had gone off the deep end and was losing it and needing some acne body wash. Frankly, I don’t know who the hell this guy is, other than maybe hearing a vague mention of his name at some point. I wouldn’t know him if you showed me a picture.

“I mean, I think that you’ve interviewed many, many people and I assumed that you would know the difference between a character and a real person,” he says about the now-infamous 2009 interview, in which a gum-chomping, mumbling Phoenix barely answered Letterman’s questions. “I hope I didn’t offend you in any way.”

The appearance turned out to be an act. Director Casey Affleck recently revealed Phoenix’s supposed documentary, I’m Still Here, which followed the actor during that strange time, isn’t real.

“Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no,” Letterman told him. “I’m telling you, it was so much fun. It was batting practice, you know what I mean? Every one of them was a dinger.”

Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez Announced As Idol Judges

This show is still on? They need judges for it still? I thought they had just gone to showing a series of joke auditions and outtakes every week. They actually still have the contest and a winner? Amazing. I wasn’t aware of this.

Anyways, apparently the new judges to join this horrible show will be Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, and Jennifer Lopez of…ummm…having a nice butt? So that leaves them and Randy Jackson the only original judge still around.

It is a testament to how much this show gets talked about that I know this information without having EVER watched a single episode. I’d rather watch videos on how to remove pimples than subject myself to this.

David Beckham Denies Having Affair With $10K a Night Hooker

Some magazine printed a story that Beckham was cheating on his wife with a $10K a night hooker. Let’s just look at that allegation logically before anything. We’ll break it down and show how silly it really is.

First of all, let’s say he DID actually buy a $10K a night hooker. What kind of service is this that they get him caught in the first place? If someone is charging $10K a night the #1 priority would obviously be privacy right? Of course it would.

Second, let’s say he DID pay for this service. This is someone that Makes $10K a day here. This isn’t someone that just happens to do this as a last resort. This is a PRO. They aren’t trying to “get out of it”. What benefit are they going to get from outing the guy in the first place? Blackmail? Why would anyone fess up to this based on point #1? Blackmail has almost no chance here for her. What does she need a few bucks for eye wrinkle cream reviews she read? Get real.

Sarah Palin To Watch Bristol On Dancing With the Stars

While I’m sure you can’t get enough of the Palin family, I think this is just the beginning of the Palin’s and their jump into the “reality TV” spectrum. As I remember earlier that Sarah got some sort of Alaska reality special coming up? Did this already happen? Man I hope so and I completely missed it. Of course it was probably high comedy if it was already on so maybe not.

The politician’s daughter, Bristol, will hit the dance floor with pro partner and two-time “DWTS” champ Mark Ballas, along with the other 11 “Stars” and their pro partners.

All 12 pairings will perform during the premiere, with one duo being sent home on Tuesday night to find another way to get a fat burner workout.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, a popular oddsmaker dubbed Bristol as a 20:1 long shot to waltz away with the mirror ball trophy this season, with Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy tapped as the early favorites with 3:1 odds.

Lindsay Lohan and TMZ Make Mockery Of Alcoholics ANONYMOUS

I bet you never wondered why they call it Alcoholics Anonymous right? Surely it is self explanatory right? The people that go there are supposed to remain anonymous. You know…people aren’t supposed to know they go there.

Lindsay Lohan started showing up for AA this week 2 whole days in a row after failing her latest drug test. She clearly wants to stay out of jail…errr I mean get better. Well TMZ is certainly on board with this miracle recovery effort. So are her friends.

“Lindsay Lohan’s closest friends have heard all the excuses before — but several of them now tell TMZ … this time Lindsay seems to truly understand … she has a problem.” click here

Yeah….OK. That is why she takes AA so seriously by posing for photos outside the meetings. I’m sure everyone else attending was VERY happy to see photographers outside snapping photos for their anonymous AA meeting.

Does nobody see anything wrong with this? Following people to what are supposed to be anonymous meetings and likely chasing away people that actually WANT help? Who wants to be that a lot of these people never go back to a meeting there? She went from just hurting herself to possibly chasing a bunch of other people off their rehab. WTG Lindsay and TMZ!

“The Town” Exceeds Expectations On Opening Weekend

Ben Affleck’s robbery thriller opened Friday nationwide, and had a higher than expected opening of $23.8 million this weekend to take #1 at the box office. Affleck directed, acted in and was a writer of “The Town” so he pretty much did it all. It also start Mad Men star Jon Hamm.

“Easy A,” a teenage comedy from Sony Pictures Entertainment, was second, with about $18 million in sales, according to Hollywood.com, which compiles box-office statistics. “Devil,” a horror entry produced by M. Night Shyamalan and distributed by Universal Pictures, finished third, with $12.6 million. Sony’s “Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D” plummeted to fourth place in its second weekend, selling about $10 million in tickets for a new domestic total of about $44 million.

I didn’t realize M. Night directed “Devil”. Not that it matters. I watch most big budget “horror/thriller” movies anyways no matter how many negatives I hear about them. I’m one of those that is a big B-horror buff. I don’t know why. For some reason I just like to watch them. Maybe it is the mindlessness of it all, or that it acts like appetite suppressants that work when they have enough gore…lol

What Are You Watching On TV This Fall? (2010)

The last 5 years or so I strayed away from television quite a bit. I didn’t follow anything closely, and really I’ve never been a hardcore TV fan anyways. Growing up we watched the regular situation comedies, but overall I didn’t take TV too seriously.

Then one day last December I decided that I would take a shot at watching Lost. Well…let’s just say that I realized then that watching crappy movies as my only form of video entertainment was over.

I still don’t follow a lot of show regularly, and I certainly don’t ahve many I watch on a weekly basis LIVE, but I have a couple I am looking forward to.

One thing that keeps me interested in TV now is the ability to marathon a show and just watch the last season live. I can’t stand waiting on shows every week. Luckily I didn’t catch on to Lost until a couple months before Season 6 so I was able to watch the first 5 seasons all at one time and then pretend I was a HUGE fan when season 6 started. I did the same with Smallville from CB this summer and am really looking forward to the Season 10 coming up. Not like I am going to have to look for a rfid blocking wallet anymore.

There are only 2 other shows I plan on staying with this year. Both of which I got caught watching while they are still in progress, but with there only being 2 I think I can handle it. Dexter on Showtime, which is only 12 weeks I think anyways, and Chuck on NBC which is just a goofy show I watch now and then.

Dexter is IT for me though. It is literally the only drama on TV I am really interested in after Lost. Season 4 was insanely good so I am jacked up to see what Dex has in store for us with his newfound freedom.

Chuck on the other hand I really could take it, or leave it, but since it is likely the last season I will probably catch it.

What abut you?

Lindsay Lohan Likes Her The Drugs

Just out of the clink, like most regular folks, Lindsay Lohan is subject to drug testing while still under the watchful eye of the law. Apparently she has failed a drug test for cocaine, and according to TMZ failed another test for another drug within a short time frame as well. No POS systems is going to get her out of this.

You know you have no self control at all when you fail a test for cocaine. It lasts about 2-3 days in your system. Someone like her probably had a pretty good idea when she would be getting tested so the idea that it was “random” I find hard to believe. Only the worst abusers fail these tests for cocaine. People that know a month in advance when they will be tested and STILL fail cocaine tests that they could have easily avoided. Addiction is a hell of a thing.

Lohan could face 30 days in jail for EACH of the failed drug tests. Ummmm…how about rehab lockdown? Jail isn’t going to do anything.

Branson Missouri Vacations

The “Live Music Capital of the World”, Branson Missouri is one of the more interesting places to visit if you want to have some old fashioned fun. It is home to such greats as the Oak Ridge Boys and Mickey Gilley, but has a lot of other awesome places to hang out.

Many that take a Branson Missouri vacation like to head out to the Silver Dollar City, a theme park with some 30 rides, but also is set back in the time of the Ozarks. Many craftsmen show their skills at the park from baking to metal crafting to give you not just a great time on rides like the roller coaster WildFire, but fun for those that prefer to stay on the ground. Besides the crafts and rides are many shows, and the infamous Marvel Cave.

Don’t forget to make a bid on a vacation package as you never know what kind of deal you are going to be able to pull off.

Taylor Swift Is Really Happy For Kanye and…

she’s gonna let him speak, but Beyonce had the best video of all times. Of all times.

Tayolor Swift after a somewhat unusual moment at last year’s VMA’s is going to sing about the incident this year. Nobody knows exactly what it is yet, but I am just going to assume that it is going to be comedic and not crude. Who knows though. Maybe she is going to go all Eminem on Mariah, or 2Pac Hit ‘em Up on Biggie. I’ll watch it on Youtube in 2 months when I remember it happened and maybe it will become a fad. I am nt expecting much, but I do have some new outdoor patio cushions I am looking forward to putting out.
