As much as I hate to admit -- and I really hate to -- Will Ferrell's newest sports comedy, Semi-Pro, was an air ball.
Sure it earned its share of chuckles, but there wasn't a lot that will stick with me from this movie. In fact, if I was forced to go the movies tomorrow and was given the choice between seeing Semi-Pro again or Anchorman -- which I've seen about 20 times -- I'd have to pick Anchorman.
While it's been noted JLo has given her twins normal-sounding names (Max and Emme) -- and the whole wide world stood up and did the wave -- what about the not-so-normal, WTF names celebs have given their offspring?
Moxie CrimeFighter (Magician Penn Jillette) Hopper (Sean Penn and Robin Wright) Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf) Bluebell Madonna (Spice Girl Geri Halliwell) Audio Science (Actress Shannyn Sossamon) Kyd (David Duchovny and Tea Leoni)
And what would happen if two of the children listed above ended up getting married? Would the wedding announcement instantly explode at the weird combination of names?
TMZ.com is reporting that Van Halen has canceled because Eddie is having "issues." Hmm... they are scheduled to play at American Airlines Center tomorrow. No official word on whether or not the AAC show, or the entire tour, is canceled. They did postpone a concert in Charlottesville, Va., last month, and one in January, but this may just be a rumor.
A nuzzle from a baby giraffe is enough to make anyone's day. This animal keeper at the Los Angeles Zoo gets the young female ready for her public debut last Friday. The as-yet-unnamed Masai giraffe, born on Feb. 6, drinks nine quarts of whole cow's milk per day. All I have to say about that is I'm glad I don't have to clean her toilet. QUICK STAT: Masai giraffes live on the African savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa.
I'm late in checking this out, since the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull apparently has become a viral video since its online debut. I can see why! Although there's not much in the way of actual plot details, is that really what will have us all flocking, sheeplike, to the cineplex on opening day?! Um, no. As in all Indy flicks, Harrison Ford gets himself out of one bind after the next in spectacular fashion and fights the bad guys, all for the greater good. And although there's not nearly enough Shia LeBeouf in the trailer to satisfy this fan, I like the acknowledgment from Indy that each escapade is "not as easy as it used to be." Now can we get over his age and just enjoy the movie?!
Release date: May 22.
Chance of box office success: Hmmm, it's a Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Ford collabo. Box office smashdom is a given.
Should you see it?: Yes! For the sheer opening-day spectacle and '80s nostalgia factor, why not join half of America at the theater?
Someone linked me to an interview with the kids who play Kenard and Bug on The Wire. They're so articulate for 12-year-olds. Don't watch this if you haven't seen episode 58!
In my continuing effort to call out retail store music programmers, a trip to my neighborhood drug store this morning produced "Lady" by Kenny Rogers and "Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins.
I don't get it. Can we at least get something current? Did the research suggest customers buy more eyedrops or hair products when listening to Kenny Rogers hits?
