Material Girl hawks wine for Celebrity Cellars

Surely no true oenophile’s collection is complete without several bottles of wine plastered with images of an aging songstress arching her back in orgasmic dance-floor ecstasy. Never fear: Now you too can be the proud owner of this very same wine, for just $25-$40 a bottle!

Madonna’s wine is described as being “as complex and sophisticated as the artist herself,” and discriminating consumers may choose Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, or even UnWine, a “de-alcoholized red table wine.”

Wouldn’t that be, um, grape juice?

Maybe; maybe not. The site doesn’t specify. But grape juice or not, what UnWine definitely is, is a ridiculous clever marketing ploy. Current interstate alcohol shipping regulations only allow real wine to be shipped to 13 of the 50 states…but UnWine carries no such restrictions. So drink up, Florida! Raise a glass, Ohio! Party on, you other 35 unlucky states: Your UnWine is waiting, and no matter how much of it you drink, you’ll NEVER get hung over.

Ah, that Madonna: Always thinking about the little guy, bless her money-grubbing Kabbalah-worshipping soul. To order your own overpriced bottle of highly eroticized grape juice, click here.

Hungry for money

Kevin Federline is old news, even if the Britney Spears mooch-a-holic continues to self-promote his impending hip hop career. The new kid on the block? Patrick Swayze, who, according to AllHipHop.com, is planning to release a rap single sometime next year. The 53-year-old actor (?) had one chart-topping hit in the late 80’s, thanks mostly to the success of “Dirty Dancing,” but seriously, who’s going to break the news that old white dudes can’t rap. Hey Patrick, you’re free to borrow my copy of “White Men Can’t Jump.” I know it’s not the same, but you’ll get the idea…

Lohan in it again

No, not a car wreck, but the hospital this time. Yes, Lindsay Lohan has been hospitalized for an asthma attack. This is what she gets for being too intimate with Herbie while he’s fully loaded and she was sucking fumes off his tail pipe. Ah well, even though her new album sucks a big one (her cover of “I Want You To Want Me” is ultra-creepy given the context of the rest of the album being a series of melodramatic messages thrown at her father), she’s still more entertaining than Ashlee Simpson and would never let a little old thing like asthma sideline her entire career.

Box Office Roundup: God puts his foot down

Based on Monday’s estimates:

1) The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe : $32.8 million ($224.8 million, fourth weekend)
Curious that the lion wasn’t named Scott since, if the people who are pounding our other posts are any indication, Scott Stapp is apparently God.
2) King Kong: $31.5 million ($174.3 million, third weekend)
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, but Naomi Watts was freaking awesome in this.
3) Fun with Dick and Jane: $21 million ($64.5 million, second weekend)
Well, there’s two thirds of the budget back. The last third is the hardest, though. Just ask “The Legend of Zorro.”
4) Cheaper by the Dozen 2: $19.3 million ($55.1 million, second weekend)
Still nothing to say about this, except that between this and “The Pink Panther,” Steve Martin is a dirty, dirty whore.
5) Rumor Has It…: $11.6 million ($26.7 million, second weekend)
Hi, I’d like a movie about some ‘60s Hollywood in-joke that no one outside of the 90028 zip code could possibly relate to, please.

DVD shuffle: 01/03/06 – New Year Edition

Ringing in the New Year on DVD this week:

1) Wedding Crashers – BUY: It’s been a long time since an R-rated comedy has done so well at the box office, and the unrated version (with an additional 8 minutes of footage) will surely be funnier, or at least raunchier.

2) Broken Flowers – RENT: Fans of director Jim Jarmusch will undoubtedly love his latest drama/comedy starring Bill Murray. Everybody else, however, will not.

3) The Cave – PASS: Do you really need a reason NOT to see this film? Okay… then click the link.

4) Dumb and Dumber: Unrated Edition – BUY: For those of you who still don’t own this movie need to run out and pick up this copy, but there’s not enough special features on the single-disc release to warrant replacing your older copy. A handful of alternated scenes and endings just isn’t a big enough selling point. Where are the commentary tracks by Carrey and Daniels?
