Did you hear about Lindsay Lohan’s lawsuit?  She wants 100 MILLION from E-Trade because of one of the company’s latest commercials.  Here’s the ad:

She’s upset they used the name Lindsay and called the baby a “milkaholic”.  She claims that E-Trade is taking a swipe at her past problems with alcohol and drugs.

Come on, Lohan!  Even if they did think it (which I seriously question) and someone watching the commercial thinks of you what’s the difference?!

Perhaps it will encourage them to rent one of your past movies or better yet maybe it will get  someone to think of casting you in a new movie. 

Although, maybe she’s right.  Do you think she looks like a baby who’s had a few too many bottles in this picture?

There’s a new video game set to the television show Murder, She Wrote with Angela Lansbury.  Do you remember that show?  I never ever watched a single episode.  I think it was on Sunday evenings on CBS.  Now it’s a video game.

Seriously?

Have they run out of ideas?  Are senior citizens playing this game?  You know what’s coming next if this one sells well don’t you?

Matlock!  Although I do know one senior citizen who would buy that game.  Click below to find out who I’m talking about.

It’s time to make the Oscars shorter.  I’m sure the folks at ABC are very happy with the 3 and a half hour show because they can sell lots of commercials, but I’d love if the show was about 2 hours.

I don’t really care who won for best sounding editing AND sound mixing.  Same goes for make-up and do we really need to see who won for best short documentary?  I understand that make-up and sound mixing are essential to a movie, but I just don’t care.  I think the key grip and best boy are also important, but I don’t want to see the winners or hear their speeches.

I think Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin did a great job as hosts, but they didn’t even get to do that much because there are so many awards to give out.    Here’s my proposed list of awards to be shown on television:

1) Best Supporting Actor/Actress

2) Best Actor/Actress

3) Foreign Language Film

4) Original and Adapted Screen play

5) Best Director

6) Best Film

Thank you and good night!

If this video doesn’t put a smile on your face then there is something very wrong!

I got an e-mail yesterday with the subject line:  Good morning. 

Here’s what it said when I opened it:

I can’t say I’ve paid a lot of attention to Lady Gaga over the last year, but I wish Iwould have been watching her more closely.  I admit some of her tunes are not too bad, but it’s the outfits that are so fantastic!  Why haven’t I been watching for her on a daily basis?!  This was one of her latest looks:

I can’t decide if I like the lobster glasses or the look on the faces of her two security guards more.  Being Lady Gaga’s security must be one of the toughest gigs out there.  It’s not that anyone wants to harm her, it’s just that you have to keep a straight face when she says, “Do I look good in these glasses?”

I still can’t figure out why the heck Buzz Aldrin would choose to be on Dancing with the Stars. 

He will be joined by these other American heros:

Pamela Anderson –Actually, she’s Canadian

Shannen Doherty– Former Beverly Hills 90210 star

 The lead from the Pussycat Dolls–Isn’t everyone from that group  interchangable?

Chad Ochocinco–Cincinnati Bengals football player who attempted a Lambeau Leap even though he doesn’t play for the Packers

Kate Gosselin–I thought she was finally going away

Erin Andrews–ESPN reporter who was filmed in her hotel room through the peep hole which is all everyone will be thinking

Aiden Turner –Soap star

Evan Lysacek–gold medal winner in Vancouver

Niecy Nash — Unless you watch Reno 911! or Clean House on Style Network you probably don’t know her, but she is funny

Jake Pavelka — Dude from The Bachelor

After doing a little more searching on the web, I’ve found that Buzz is pretty hip.  Did you know he made a song with Snoop Dog?!    Buzz!  This is not needed.  I think comedian Brian Regan sums it up best.

At the end of last week someone finally downloaded the 10 billionth song on i-Tunes.  The person who downloaded the song also scored 10-thousand dollars worth of free downloads on i-Tunes.  So who won?  A guy in his early 70’s!  His name is Louie Sulcer and he lives in Georgia.  He was downloading an old Johnny Cash song called “Guess Things Happen That Way.”

I wonder if his children and grandchildren believed him when he said he won.  Let’s be honest, have you had someone older bumping around on the web and suddenly call you to tell you they won a free computer or a trip around the world.  I feel like if that would have happened to my parents or grandparents I wouldn’t have believed it and probably would have instructed them to turn off the computer immediately before they download a nasty virus.

Actually Sulcer got a call from Steven Jobs and he even had Rosanne Cash (Johnny’s daughter) on the line with him.  Now for sure I would have grabbed the phone out of my grandparents or parents hand and hang it up immediately if they were telling me Steven Jobs and Rosanne Cash were on the line. 

Mr. Sulcer thought it might be a prank call, but stayed on the line long enough to find out about his prize.

Today would have been The Man in Black’s 78th birthday.  Johnny Cash was one of a kind and the movie “Walk the Line” is a fantastic look at this very talented and troubled performer.

However, there’s another movie that takes a rather twisted look at Johnny Cash and a few other musicians as well.   John C. Reilly stars in this film which makes fun of Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson and the Beatles as well as Johnny Cash.  There are some good cameos too.

It didn’t really do well at the box office, but I bet Johnny Cash would have seen this flick he would have liked it.  Here’s a the trailer:

People have been making fun of me these last two weeks because I like figure skating at the Winter Olympics.  Tonight there will be great competition and if you like sports you should be watching.  Seriously.

I’m a big fan of baseball and football and basketball.  Think of a baseball player up to bat in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and two outs.  Think of a quarterback fading back to pass with just a few seconds left in the game.  Think of a basketball player on the free throw line with his team down by a point and no time left on the clock.  That’s what it will be like tonight for the female figure skaters.

These skaters have been practicing for countless hours for years for this moment.  They have about 2 plus minutes to do it right.  Can you imagine working and working and working at something and then it all comes down to you doing that task perfectly one time?

Now imagine right before you have to do it someone else does it before you and they do it perfectly.  Now it’s your turn.  Don’t forget to think about millions of people watching you and your country counting on to win as well.  Did I mention that you’re probably still a teenager?

That’s pressure and that’s what the women figure skaters will be facing tonight.  Not to mention the story of Joannie Rochette.  She’s the Canadian figure skater who’s mother passed away just a few days ago.  The picture in this blog is of her performing the other night.  You can see her heart is breaking, but she managed to perform and is currently in third place.

Sure, Peyton Manning trying to lead his team to victory as they clock is winding down is a lot of pressure, but he has his teammates to help or hurt his cause.  The figure skater stands completely alone.  It’s all on his or her shoulders.

Amazing.

Let the true competition begin.
