Bruce Lee theme park to open in China

November 29, 2006 /

Thirty-three years after his death from a swelling of the brain in 1973, martial arts legend Bruce Lee will have a theme park built in his honor:

A theme park with a statue and memorial hall will be built at Bruce Lee’s southern Chinese ancestral home of Shunde, the president of his fan club said Monday.

The park will also contain a martial arts academy and conference center, Wong Yiu-keung, chairman of the Hong Kong-based Bruce Lee Club, told The Associated Press.

The park is set to open in three years, at a budget rumored to be over $25 million, and will also include artifacts from Lee’s movies.

Informed of the news, rival martial artist Chuck Norris shrugged and said, “Chuck Norris doesn’t have a theme park. Because if he did, it would KILL YOU.”

Leo: “Diamonds bad. Mommy good.”

November 29, 2006 /

In a recent interview promoting his new film, “Blood Diamond,” which highlights the troubles caused by the mining of “conflict diamonds” in Africa, Leonardo DiCaprio said he feels differently about buying diamonds after making the film, and that his mother is the only person for whom he would ever buy a diamond.

Upon hearing Leo’s comment, his girlfriend (Victoria’s Secret model Bar Rafaeli) was heard to say, “Awww, that’s so sweet. I’m outta here.”

Borat make romance explosion in Pamela Anderson marriage

November 28, 2006 /

Shocking friends, relatives, and celebrity gawkers alike, white trash soulmates Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock have filed for divorce. Though the pair seemed a match made in heaven — what with their mutual interests in rock music, monosyllabic words, and Pamela’s breasts — their union turned rocky as a result of Pam’s recent appearance in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” movie.

According to the New York Post, Kid (real name: Bob Richie) blew up at Pam during a private screening of the film at a studio exec’s home. Rather than having a sense of humor about the movie, Richie took exception to his wife’s appearance in it —particularly during the scene involving a certain well-known sex tape:

Her friend tells Page Six, “Bob started screaming at Pam, saying she had humiliated herself and telling her, ‘You’re nothing but a whore! You’re a slut! How could you do that movie?’ – in front of everyone. It was very embarrassing.

Ironically, by capturing the buxom blonde in his wedding sack, Borat seems to have set her free. Anderson’s statements regarding the breakup mention her soon-to-be-ex-husband’s “male insecurity and major anger issues,” and a friend mentions that “Pam is just very happy to not be in the same house with so much passive-aggressive hostility in it.”

In response to the news of Pamela’s imminent split, Borat is reportedly outfitting a cage for his intended with a built-in swing and stripper pole, so she’ll feel right at home.

The Nine: Deep-sixed?

November 27, 2006 /

Well, not yet…but the plucky survivors of that 52-hour hostage ordeal are being subjected to yet another trauma: a hiatus of indeterminate length.

Originally scheduled to air this Wednesday night as usual, the ratings-challenged serial drama has been bumped by a special episode of “20/20”…apparently because the executives at ABC are looking to raise the median age of their average viewer by a good decade or so.

Wednesday November 29 marks the last night of the current sweeps period; thus, the last-minute replacement suggests a vote of “no confidence” in Scott Wolf and his dimples by ABC management. However, the network insists the program will return “later in the season.”

If it doesn’t, does this mean the three unwatched episodes sitting in my DVR queue will officially become collector’s items? And will we ever get to find out exactly what that lovable loser Egan Foote-with-an-e did to become a hero?
