Good news, because there’s one on the way! The bad news? Joss Whedon will not be involved.
Warner Brothers went ahead and made the call that it’d be ok for them to make another Buffy the Vampire Slayer film – not a remake, mind you, they’re making it clear that “this is not your high school Buffy” – without Whedon or any of the original creative team. They also thought that’d it be ok to instead hire a screenwriter who pitched the idea because “she loved Buffy when she was the same age as the character,” which I feel like translates to “she wrote some fan fiction that got some pretty decent reviews on Livejournal and went ahead and took the next step.” And legally, that is ok. But spiritually, it is so, so far away from anything near ok. It’s so far away that the Inca Mummy Girl, who traveled great distances in both physical space and time, would be like “whaaat?”
And you know who had that same reaction? Joss Whedon. He wrote a letter to E! describing his feelings, and if you’re a fan, you should just go ahead and read the whole thing, but suffice it to say that he is charmingly and hilariously uncomfortable with the whole thing.
Oh, and just in case you were looking for the nail in Buffy’s coffin (not that she couldn’t fight her way out. Remember season six? So intense), none of the cast from the TV show are involved. Basically, this movie is going to take all the love and dedication that Joss Whedon has constructed into pure magic and drive a stake right through it.
Cookie Monster is starting his own campaign to host Saturday Night Live and after seeing his four minute audition tape, I’m joining his cause.
Cookie starts his tape with a short monologue and then goes immediately into a sketch called “Macarooner”, a cookie-themed twist on the show’s popular MacGruber character. There’s also a short tribute to Weekend Update (was that a pot joke he made or is that just me making everything a subtle drug reference?) and a Lady Gaga impression that absolutely killed me.
This is just about the most funny and darling thing I’ve seen on the Internet and in a hot minute, and with all the pictures of kitten doing silly things out there, that’s really saying something.
Apparently Fantasia Barrino is still on this OD/affair thing, because she’s coming forth with further information surrounding her breakdown of a few months ago, that which resulted in a hospitalization and a pre-planned media blitz an intensive recovery plan.
Many of you guys – myself included – thought that it was kind of dirty that Tasia promoted her alleged suicide attempt in the way that she did, and also thought it was pretty selfish that she allowed the demons of a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship to interfere with her ability to parent her young child, so this will probably come as no shock to those of who you shared those sentiments.
Fantasia, present at her on-again, off-again lover’s divorce trial, spoke out, claiming that she had aborted a child – allegedly the child of Antwaun Cook, a married man – around the time of her suicide attempt. Barrino was in attendance at the trial, answering questions such as whether or not she was aware that Cook was married and living with his wife during the time of their affair.
What the abortion had to do with the court hearing, I’m not really all that sure, once again – the entire thing is simply being held to determine whether or not Fantasia knowingly involved herself with a married man, or if Cook led Fantasia to believe that he was, indeed single during the time of their eleven-month affair.
Fantasia is still dating Cook, and the trial is still underway.
Just when you thought it was safe to head out to the clubs in Seaside Heights (ha, from someone who was born and raised a mere three hours from the resort made famous by the Jersey Shore twats, I gotta ask: who does that – really), think again: Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The Situation, who’s fame kind of exploded this year with vitamin endorsements, home gym videos, and most recently, his brief appearance on this season’s Dancing With the Stars, has another few minutes left on his fifteensixty ninety thanks to GQ, as he’s one of their choices for ‘Men of the Year 2010.’ Thanks for that, GQ, it’s like an early fucking Christmas.
Here’s The Sitch on how he always wanted to be famous:
Well i think Taylor is a slut wearing those type of clothing and i wont be surpised if she goes out and she gets raped, why the hell is she wearing those clothing? thinking she looks cool, hot?? fuck no she looks like a hooker wanting...
She. Is. Marvelous. Seriously marvelous. And super gorgeous. I am not generally a fan of short hair, on guys or girls (late ’90s men’s fashion was a nightmare for me, and I was only in middle school), but she looks so...
