REEKS OF WIN

David Thorne didn’t have the $233.95 to pay an overdue account. So what did he do? What any other budding young genius would do, he submitted a picture of a spider he drew instead. Unfortunately, Jane Gilles, who is clearly a mega-bitch to the nth degree, wouldn’t accept it. So what happened next? Hit the jump to find out. But I’ll give you a hint: time travel! And also, David’s account not getting paid.

You really want to read the rest, so hit it.

Howard was the executive producer and the very “voice” of the inventive Fox sitcom “Arrested Development,” which was cancelled in the middle of its third season despite winning numerous Emmys. A few months ago, Jason Bateman said that creator Mitchell Hurvitz wanted to continue the story of the Bluth family on the big screen, Michael Cera while doing press for Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist wasn’t quite as confident, but then recently, Jeffrey Tambor said that it was happening. Not one to believe anyone but those directly involved with the financing of such a movie, we decided to ask the one person who would know EXACTLY what was happening with the show’s portal to film, Howard himself.”I really hope we do it,” Howard enthused. “The reason there’s been so much back and forth is… well, for two reasons, is the business understanding coming from the studio side was not clear, so even though we were wanting to do it and said, ‘Yeah, maybe we could’ but things weren’t defined. I think that’s really come into focus in the last week or so. Mitch’s full-on commitment to not only write it but direct it is something he’s been wrestling with, he’s been launching a TV show at the same time, so he couldn’t let it really be at the forefront of his mind creatively. It is now. He seems very committed. We still don’t have a script. Yeah, he’s got some great ideas, and the cast seemed very excited about it and I certainly am. I’m very, very hopeful—more hopeful now than ever—that it’s really going to happen.”

Fans will probably rejoice if Mitchell Hurvitz can spend some time and get a script that Imagine Entertainment and Universal will want to make into a film, especially considering the success that many of the cast have found since the show’s demise.

 

 

Awesomeness!! If it happens I can’t wait to catch up with the Bluth Family.

Singer/actress Adrienne Bailon has reportedly been offered the chance to pose in a photo spread for Playboy magazine, days after her alleged nude photo leak was exposed as a publicity stunt.

The Cheetah Girls star threatened to take legal action against a thief who allegedly leaked naked pictures of her onto the internet after claiming her laptop was stolen at a New York airport this week (beg10Nov08).

Her publicist Jonathan Jaxson has since claimed the pair concocted the story to help boost 25-year-old Bailon’s profile among adult audiences.

Talking to Foxnews.com, Jaxson said: “After the laptop was stolen, we used it as an opportunity to drum up some publicity and start speculating about nude photos, but we never expected anything to get out.”

And the incident has reportedly attracted the attention of bosses at Playboy magazine, with columnists at the New York Post’s PageSix alleging they have obtained a copy of a contract sent to the star.

According to the newspaper, Bailon has been offered $100,000 (GBP67,399) to pose for “stylish photos with full nudity in a sufficient quantity and quality”.

Another “Celeb” attempts to cause a stir by getting naughty… best bit is that she goes out with Kim Kardashian’s brother. So I wonder where she got the idea for this from?

Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first photo of the full Enterprise from director J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek, opening in theaters on May 8th. The magazine says:
 
Abrams wanted to take the original TV series Enterprise and the movie franchise Enterprise and fuse them together into a new yet familiar Enterprise. His ambition was a ship that felt very realistic, that could "stand up" to today’s f/x standards—and beyond. "If you’re going to do Star Trek there are many things you cannot change. The Enterprise is a visual touchstone for so many people. So if you’re going to do the Enterprise, it better look like the Enterprise, because otherwise, what are you doing?"

 David Tennant Quits!

 
David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show.

Tennant stepped into the Tardis in 2005, and will leave the role after four special episodes are broadcast next year.

He made the announcement after winning the outstanding drama performance prize at the National Television Awards.

"When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won’t be with me," he said.

I don’t ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh   David Tennant

"Now don’t make me cry," he added. "I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don’t take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you’ll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair."

Alright, so I only went 8-8 last week, but who can blame me. Kitna can have good days, it is unfortunate that it was against the 49ers, Cincy TRIED to beat the Giants, I wish they would have gone for the win there instead of the tie. Cleveland is looking absolutly attrocious, threatening a QB switch…again. Ronnie Brown flattened the Patriots, the rest of the Dolphins might have just stood around, but he got it done.

So how about Palmer finally getting on the ball last week. That was a welcome change. Maybe Anderson (Derek…I almost forgot who that was, too) will make that change this week. If so, this could be a massive shootout, just like last year. The Vikings finally have a win, now that they sat that terrible QB Jackson. The Chargers finally got things going, and the Jets continue to disappoint me. Indianapolis and Jacksonville are both 1-2 on the season, and the 3-0 teams are looking strong. So let’s get to the fun part of the article, my picks for this week are…

San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints (The Saints offense should prove too much for the 49ers defense.)

Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (The Bucs are always alittle overrated in my mind.)

Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars (The Jaguars running game should help Garrard get back into a rhythm.)

Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals (Even I would have been suprised at the beginning of the season that the Browns could really start 0-4 after Baltimore and Cincy.)

Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers (The Panthers should relocate their winning ways and go towards the top of the division. If they don’t the Falcons could be a contender down the road.)

Arizona Cardinals @ New York Jets (The Jets aren’t as bad as they were last year, but the defense needs to get its shit together.)

Minnesota Vikings @ Tennessee Titans (This will be an extremely low scoring game, battle of the powerhouse defenses.)

Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs (There is no reason to watch this game, unless you enjoy blowouts.)

San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders (Is it just me, or will the damn Chargers not just die already. No one likes that stupid dick Rivers. Go Oakland!)

Buffalo Bills @ St Louis Rams (I don’t understand why the Rams are so bad…)

Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys (I’ll finally jump on the bandwagon after 3 weeks of picking against the Cowboys. They have likely overcome the hardest section of their schedule at this point.)

Philadephia Eagles @ Chicago Bears (Beating the Colts in Week 1 will be the Bears proudest moment all season.)

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers (The Steelers need more than 6 points per game, and the Ravens defense SEEMS just as good/better than the Eagles defense.)

From GameSpot

When Fable II arrives in stores, it will lack the online co-op multiplayer mode Molyneux touted at a 2008 Game Developers Conference presentation.. On the bright side, Microsoft is promising that the feature will be added in a downloadable update, possibly within the game’s first week on North American shelves. For those who can’t wait for a patch to adventure with friends, the game will include local co-op play out of the box.

However, the game won’t be entirely offline when it ships. Players will see gamers on their friends list as glowing orbs in-game, and will be able to chat or trade with them.

Fable II is expected to arrive in stores October 21.

Last week was much better than the first week. I went 12-3 (note that the Texans and Ravens didn’t play), putting me at a total of 20-11. Not too shabby.  As for why? I took the Vikings, who failed to close against the Colts, the Eagles, who failed to close against the Cowboys, and the Saints, who failed to close against the Redskins. Amazingly, all three of these teams were leading in the 4th quarter. Disgusting.

Anyways, the only story this week is the Cowboys @ Cowboys game this Sunday night. This should be a great matchup of two of the best teams in the league, and the Packers would be in prime position to become the number one seed in the NFC with a victory this week. The formerly powerhouse AFC South has looked horrific lately. The Colts-Jaguars game will be a far cry from the games played last year.

Furthermore, the Vikings finally benched Tavaris Jackson in favor of Gus Ferotte. Not the best quarterback ever, but better than Tavaris. Cleveland and Jacksonville need wins this week to hold onto any chance of a playoff run, but we shall see.

Thus, it is time again for my weekly picks!

Kansas City Chiefs @ Atlanta Falcons

Oakland Raiders @ Buffalo Bills

Tampa bay Buccaneers @ Chicago Bears

Carolina Panthers @ Minnesota Vikings (Ferotte wins the Vikings’ first game)

Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots

Cincinnati Bengals @ New York Giants (Palmer finally gets on the ball)

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans

Arizona Cardinals @ Washington Redskins (The Redskins were better in the preseason)

New Orleans Saints @ Denver Broncos

Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers (The 49ers won’t live up to their potential)

St Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks (Koren Robinson will make all the difference)

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens (Ravens defense won’t stop the Browns)

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts (The Jaguars will finish this game strong, look for a 4th quarter comeback)

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Philadelphia Eagles (The Steelers’ defense will put an end to McNabbs great streak)

Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers (In Lambeau, Rodgers shall shine)

New York Jets @ San Diego Chargers (Without solid LT proformance, Rivers will play like the piece of shit he is)

Alright, so I only went 8-8 last week. Disgraceful, although you have to cut me some slack.  The Chargers, Colts, and Jaguars all dropped the ball last week, and I went out on a limb with the Browns beating the Cowboys. Anyways, I did pick the Bills to upset the ailing Seahawks (who lost their last receiver) . So here we go, my analysis of last week and my picks for this week.

Firstly, we must examine the impact of Brady’s injury. The Patriots will have to struggle and struggle hard if they are going to make any sort of playoff run. Matt Cassel actually looked decent last week, even though it was against the Chiefs. We will see what he has against the Jets this week.

Cleveland has it’s second serious struggle this week against the Steelers. Now last week the Steelers looked amazing, but it was only the Texans. Every team supposedly got better over the off season, and I have heard good points about every team, but the Texans are looking terrible. Anyways, we will see what the Steelers can do against a slightly better team this week. I like the matchup here, but I feel like the Browns have lost something from last season.

Finally, two of the teams that played Monday night looked amazing, namely the Packers and Broncos. Both teams looked amazing, with Aaron Rodgers starting his football career 18/22 completions, 1 TD pass, and 1 TD run. The Minnesota defense, which was so highly praised, will either be only mediocre, or maybe the Packers were just that good. Additionally, watch out for Eddie Royal of the Broncos, he had a breakout week against the Raiders, and I expect good things from the Broncos.

So now it is time for my picks…

Green Bay Packers(what a suprise) @ Detroit Lions

New York Giants @ St Louis Rams

New Orleans Saints @ Washington redskins (The Redskins will win games this season, but the Saints looked great last week. They only threw to Colston once anyways)

Buffalo Bills @ Jacksonville Jaguars (the O-line is beat up, and Garrard is throwing INTs)

Tennessee Titans @ Cincinnati Bengals

Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs (I was tempted to vote neither)

Indianapolis Colts @ Minnesota Vikings (Manning will take one more game to catch up)

Chicago Bears @ Carolina Panthers (They looked great last week, and Forte will be expected)

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (The falcons have to prove their worth to me…not against the Lions)

San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks (Hasselbeck will literally be throwing passes to his backup Qb…in the first receiver position)

San Diego Chargers @ Denver Broncos (The Chargers are beat up and the Broncos are pumped up)

New England Patriots @ New York Jets (The Jets did not live up to my expectations last week, and the Patriots are a step up from the Dolphins)

Miami Dolphins @ Arizona Cardinals (The Cardinals played better than I expected last week)

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns (I expected more from the Browns, I didnt get it)

Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys (The Cowboys can win this game if they finish drives better this week)

Hip-Hop retard Kanye West went bananas on a Paparazzi at at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday. Here’s what E! Online is saying:

Tim Mihalsky was at LAX this morning picking up his dad from the airport when he witnessed a scuffle outside the American Airlines security check-in at Terminal 4.

West was in the middle of the madness, which was captured on tape by TMZ.

“I heard all this noise and yelling and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ Security and cops were running over to this fight. The commotion was going on for a couple minutes. I heard something slam on the floor and it was kind of crazy,” Mihalsky tells E! News.

“It happened so quick I didn’t know what was going on. And because of all the weird things that have happened at airports, and it being Sept. 11, I didn’t want to get too close to it all. But I saw Kanye in the scuffle. There were like at least 10 people surrounding him in the chaos. It was just pure chaos.”

Sources say that the incident involved a freelance still photographer and his brother, a videographer who works for TMZ. Both are celeb-seeking fixtures at the airport.

The L.A. college student hightailed it out of the area before seeing West get detained for allegedly destroying a $10,000 videocam.

The 31-year-old rapper and his road manager, Don Crowley, were arrested at 7:51 a.m., both on charges of felony vandalism. They remain in police custody.
