Courtney Love Was Wrong About Edward Norton - He's The Greatest

For about a year now, Courtney Love has ranted and raved about how Edward Norton is the worst guy in the world and that he stole $300K from her and on and on. Well, now it turns out that this was just all a big misunderstanding and Edward Norton actually tripled her money. That's right, tripled it. Apparently all it took was for a little call from Ed I guess. Ed has also been the go between for Courtney and Ed. Anyway, Courtney is doing the whole press thing for her new Hole album so this should be an interesting few weeks. She also talked about what led to The Bean being taken away. Courtney's version of events is that she grabbed and bruised The Bean's arm because Frances was hitting her and punching her and scratching her.

Kate Winslet And Sam Mendes Split

This is a relationship I never thought would end, but it did. In a joint statement, the pair have decided to end their seven year marriage. "Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year. The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."　

The couple were married in 2003 and they have one 6 year old son together. Kate has a daughter from a previous relationship with Jim Threapleton.

New Jersey Woman Trying To Become Fattest Woman In The World

I don't even know where to begin. This mother of two from New Jersey wants nothing more than to become the world's largest woman. It is her goal to weight 1,000 pounds. To that end she eats about 12,000 calories a day. She is doing it on purpose. Why? So she can leave her kids without a mom? It seems to me from reading between the lines that she might not be raising her son. Well, I think someone should take a really good look at whether she should be raising her daughter. This isn't someone who has a disease and can't control her eating, she is forcing herself to eat more. If she keeps it up she will die. How is that any different from a parent who does drugs? Yes, I suppose it isn't illegal to eat food.

I eat lots and lots of food. I do so voluntarily. However, I also recognize the risks and if I had a young child I would improve my eating habits. As it is, I don't really fluctuate in my weight and I don't want to buy larger sizes so I am pretty content with where I am.To make all of this happen she spends about $750 a week on food. Oh, and she says she pays for most of it by charging men online to watch her eat. Really? It is like porn although I guess she keeps her clothes on. She is with a man who loves larger women and he introduced her to the online world where men love larger women. Fine. Great. I love it. BUT, that doesn't mean you should take it to the extent where you are going to kill yourself on purpose, especially when you have kids.

At one point she lost a bunch of weight and was going to have a gastric bypass, but when one of her friends died during the procedure she just went back to eating. It took 30 medical people to deliver her daughter. She already holds the world record for largest woman to deliver a baby. I am speechless.

South Park Does Tiger Woods

It is only 20 seconds, but it is a really good 20 seconds. South Park starts Wednesday!

Box Office Numbers - And A Rant

I don't usually talk about the box office results because I don't really care. However, since I didn't want to write full on movie reviews, I thought this would be a good way to say what I had to say about some of them.

1 Alice in Wonderland (2010) $62M $209M

I saw Alice in Wonderland last week. I actually thought I wouldn't like it or at least not love it especially after Tim Burton ruined Willy Wonka. It turned out I was wrong. I did love it although the 3D glasses gave me a headache. That and the fact that I went to a different theatre than I normally do and they wouldn't give me free refills on my popcorn. So, I actually had to pay for my four popcorns.

2 Green Zone (2010) $14.5M $14.5M

Almost saw it this weekend. But, this is like a DVD kind of Bourne movie so it can wait.

3 She's Out of My League (2010) $9.6M $9.6M

This was on like three screens at The Grove. I was shocked because I had barely seen any advertising for it.

4 Remember Me (2010) $8.28M $8.28M

Well the good news is this movie without Robert Pattinson would have pulled in like $5.00 or not got made. With him it made money but is still a huge bomb.

5 Shutter Island (2010) $8.14M $108M

This is the reason I am writing this little piece today. I saw this movie over the weekend. I was going to write a how was your weekend post about it but I didn't see any celebrities and the only thing exciting that happened was that my dad didn't snore during the movie. I went to the 1030 movie which was probably a bad thing to do. It was late and I was cranky and I was already calculating that the time had changed in my mind. Plus, we got there so early that my cheesecake was gone before the commercials ended.

I can't believe this was a Martin Scorsese movie. It was awful. OK, let me take that back. It makes no sense and it was awful. Oh, and it was confusing and it was awful. Apparently right before you are about to get scared, Martin decided he needs to increase the volume of the music. You know it is coming so you don't jump. The one time he didn't do that trick, everyone jumped. The good news is my arteries started moving again. If you have seen this movie, think back to the very first scene and you realize none of it makes sense. None of it. Even before his attempt at a surprise I was already looking at my watch. I don't think it gives anything away so when Leo says he is going to the Lighthouse, I said, "Great at least another 30 minutes of suffering." It had been like 2 hours at that point. If there had been a payoff or something that made sense or a better rewrite then this could have been good. Oh, and no one ever explained the band aid on his head.

6 Our Family Wedding (2010) $7.6M $7.6M

Didn't see it and probably won't watch it on DVD.

7 Avatar (2009) $6.6M $730M

I'm one of four people on earth who has yet to see it.

8 Brooklyn's Finest (2009) $4.29M $21.4M

I haven't seen it, but I heard it is really good. Plus it has Don Cheadle.

9 Cop Out (2010) $4.23M $39.4M

DVD

10 The Crazies (2010) $3.65M $33.4M

This is what I should have seen. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell and a plot that probably makes sense.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which star has a weird fetish for leaving his sunglasses on during the throes of passion?

But the heartbreaker will not be budged and says it's essential to keep up his mojo.

What can he mean?

" I Love Johnny" - Rielle Hunter Speaks

I don't know what I expected when I read this interview from GQ. I guess I expected some kind of hippie shrew. What I got instead was someone, well, I am not sure what to say other than odd. She seems strange. Like maybe she has not grown up. I'm not sure.

The interviewer is obviously someone who is on Rielle's side so it comes from there. The reporter spent the night at the house with Rielle and her daughter Quinn. I thought everything was fine until I saw her start calling John Edwards "Johnny." That seemed a little off. Then she said she didn't speak before John spoke because she didn't want to emasculate him which is what is wrong with all relationships today.
"I feel comfortable talking now, because Johnny went public and made a statement admitting paternity. I didn't feel like I could ever speak until he did that. Because had I spoken, I would have emasculated him. And I could not emasculate him. Also, it is not my desire to teach my daughter that when Mommy's upset with Daddy, you take matters into your own hands and fix Daddy's mistakes. Which I view as one of the biggest problems in all female-and-male relationships."It goes on for ten pages, so you need to set aside some time, but after reading it, maybe you will come to a different conclusion and think she is fine, but to me, she seems odd. Oh, and why is she posing on her kid's bed like that? All kinds of wrong. And if it isn't her kids bed, then posing with all her daughter's stuffed animals like that is still wrong.

Peter Graves Has Died

Peter Graves died yesterday of a heart attack. He was 83. I loved this guy. When I first saw the television series Mission Impossible it wasn't until after I had seen Airplane and it made me realize what an extraordinary actor he was. In my opinion it is because of him that A&E even exists today. They sucked when they started, but they came up with that Biography show and were smart enough or lucky enough to have Peter Graves host and narrate. They have a Biography channel now. I think it is because of him. He will be missed. Below are all of his scenes from Airplane. Love it.
