Lots of People are Seeing “Precious”

It only made $1.8 million over the weekend, but when the movie is only shown on 18 screens, that number is huge. Such is the case for the move “Precious.” Sure, Jim Carrey and “A Christmas Carol” made $30+ million, but that wasn’t great, and won’t be generating any Oscar buzz, and it appears Michael Jackson is still more popular than George Clooney as “This Is It” did better than the goat movie.

The World Series – Does Anyone Care? I Do Now.

I have to say that I haven’t paid much attention to the World Series this year, but now that it’s winding down, I’m wondering if the World Series, Game 6, 2009 will finally put the New York Yankees back as the champions, this time beating the Philadelphia Phillies.

Pedro Martinez matchup should be fun, but if we can get to CC Sabathia winning Game 7, Cleveland Indians fans will once again have a reason to be pissed.

I Have Got to Start Following Taylor Swift

Now that Miley Cyrus isn’t twittering anymore, I might need to start looking for new people to follow, and if Taylor Swift alerting us to an impending medical condition would be fun to read, well, her latest tweet about a heart attack coming on because of her being on Saturday Night Live might be just the thing to watch for. Of course her passing out during live television might be enough to bring back the publicity train now that the Kanye West episode is old news.

She was Hard, or as Men Might Say, A Bi&#*

So Kate Gosselin, yea, you know, the John and Kate Plus 8 lady who isn’t with John anymore, says she was “hard” on John. Ya think? Most men, and some women, wouldn’t say she was hard, they would say she was a bitch. The funniest part of the story: That Kate wants a career in film or TV. I’m sure there is a role out there for a stone-cold bitch, a part which she won’t really need to act.
