Damon Wayans wants to sell you some Niggas

February 24, 2006 /

Okay, the Niggas in question are actually items of clothing, and so far he’s having zero success getting his proposed brand name trademarked…but STILL.

Granted, Damon’s intended target market for the clothing line is probably not whitebread suburban chicks who watch “Desperate Housewives” and shop at Ann Taylor Loft…but I just don’t think Mr. Wayans has fully thought through the implications of an extremely financially successful African-American seeking to sell street-smart Niggas to the population at large.

I can’t top Defamer’s take on the story, so read it here and enjoy for yourself. Bad Idea Jeans, indeed!

“Dammit, Jann, we are NOT holding the party in your pants!”

February 21, 2006 /

Rolling Stone editor-in-chief Jann Wenner has fired his magazine’s publisher after a spat about where to hold an upcoming party celebrating the publication’s 1,000th issue. Publisher Steve DeLuca was understandably upset when, after securing advertising commitments based on a Rockefeller Center location, the swank affair was moved to the cachet-challenged Hammerstein Ballroom.

Upon explaining to Wenner that the venue change might cause upstanding sponsors like Clearasil, Southern Comfort and Marlboro to take their already-declining ad dollars elsewhere, DeLuca was shown the door. Associate Publisher Ray Chelstowski has stepped in to fill DeLuca’s shoes in the interim, but the twenty-year publishing veteran will presumably be permanently replaced by a nineteen-year-old contestant from Wenner’s new reality show.

The money saved on DeLuca’s salary will then be spent overpaying for exclusive stories and photos of increasingly irrelevant aging classic rock stars, buxom yet mediocre songstresses, and future Wenner flings.

It’s Zooey, not Lindsay who’s my real It girl

February 21, 2006 /

The lovely Zooey Deschanel is getting quirky again in another flick with Will Ferrell. It’s called Winter Passing and in it Deschanel plays a drug addict. I’m all for it. I’m all for Zooey. My top three tasty actresses would certainly be Zooey, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica Alba, in no certain order. You could make the most perfect gal out of all three, but I’d much rather have them as separate babes.

The church of Scientology about to declare war on Cuba

February 21, 2006 /

Defamer points out that while Tom Cruise’s legal attack dog Bert Fields is planning an offensive against “Life & Style” magazine so massive that nothing will grow on the site of what will soon be the remains of their former headquarters for hundreds of years, a conversation took place in another corner of cyberspace that will certainly make e-meters all over southern California explode with fake righteous indignation. Yep, Cuba Gooding Jr. his bad self is telling it like it is. From blackfilm.com:

BF: You were in “Jerry Maguire.” Do you still keep in touch with Tom Cruise?

CGJ: I do.

BF: What do you think of him and Katie as a couple?

CGJ: I heard they weren’t a couple. Are they a couple or not? Good lawd. I showed him “Shadowboxer.”

The eye of Sauron sees all, Cuba, so beware: the lawyer orcs are surely coming.

Box Office Roundup: Chilly dogs rule.

February 19, 2006 /

Based on Sunday’s estimates:

1) Eight Below: $19.8 million (first week)
Okay, which do you find cuter: doggies?

Or kitties?

2) Date Movie: $18.9 million (first week)
Putting Alyson Hannigan in a fat suit should be against the law.
3) The Pink Panther: $16.5 million ($42.2 million, second week)
Maybe if we stop looking at it, it will just go away.
4) Curious George: $11.2 million ($29.4 million, second week)
Guys, we need a tag line for the movie. “Show me the monkey”? Hey, that’s funny. You’re fired.
5) Final Destination 3: $10.1 million ($35.8 million, second week)
Has a nail gun ever made an appearance in a movie and not caused someone’s death?

“Freedomland,” meanwhile, debuted in seventh place with a paltry $5.9 million (which probably doesn’t cover the movie’s craft services budget), and “Firewall” is already bounced from the top five. Harrison Ford personally sees to it that Virginia Madsen never works in Hollywood again.
