Iron Man 2: More Action-Packed Than Before


OK, how many of you liked the movie Iron Man? Loved it even?

I know I LOVED it and nothing excites me more than the anticipation of Iron Man 2!

The awesome dude and Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr. rocked the red carpet and was joined by some of the film's cast, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Don Cheadle. Director Jon Favreau was there with G4's Olivia Munn, who has a role in the film and is also the newest celeb on the cover of a PETA billboard.

I have been waiting to see this sequel pretty much since I heard about it and was obsessed with the first one.

May 7th cannot come fast enough!




M.I.A.'s Music Video Means Business


M.I.A. is known for being quite outspoken.

The Sri-Lankan-born singer stood up for what she believes in once again by proclaiming the rights of gingers everywhere. Her most commonly known song, Paper Planes, was made popular by the film Pineapple Express, and got her a lot of attention as an artist.

E! Hollywood News and Celebs Now reported that M.I.A., who's real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, lashed out at her label, Universal Music Group, after her violent, genocide-themed music video "Born Free" was pulled from YouTube just hours after its release on Monday.

The artist tweeted angry posts blaming her music label for not allowing her to express her rights on YouTube.

It turned out the "Born Free" clip was yanked off by YouTube itself.

The violent and graphic clip portrays the U.S. as a fascist police state, focusing on a S.W.A.T. unit's raid of a downtown Los Angeles apartment complex. The cops in the video clip start rounding up redheaded men, bus them out to the desert and execute them in gruesome ways, all the while the lyrics repeat the chorus, "I was born free." (One example is that of a young boy who gets shot point-blank in the head... another man is literally blown apart by a bomb.)

M.I.A is not shy when it comes to speaking out about her views and is often under fire when it comes to her controversial outlook on issues.

I've seen the clip and it made me uncomfortable just because of its graphic nature and gory content. However, props to M.I.A. for doing something that makes us think.

It definitely got my attention.

Mean Girls: So NOT Fetch?


If you're like me, you love the movie Mean Girls and can quote most of the movie like it's no one's business.

Well guess what? (No, there is not going to be a sequel anytime soon) but the movie has been turned into a game and will be out this summer for the Nintendo DS.

The cover looks just like the movie's advertising…except someone's missing.

Where the heck is Lindsay Lohan?!

Our favorite mean girls, The Plastics, which include Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert are all there... just no little Miss Lohan.

Ouch! So what happened? Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with her real-life crazy adventures.

Instead, the game was licensed from Paramount and apparently using Lohan on the game cover would have been way too expensive... (So, in a sense she's worth more than the other actresses? I think she needs to be put in the Burn Book.)

Just like in the movie, the game has players follow the misadventures of Cady Heron from the winter talent show to the school prom all while facing jocks, art freaks and mathletes to become prom queen.

The game is due out on June 1.

Dear Lindsay Lohan,

"We're sorry we called you a crazy, sloppy biotch. It's not your fault you're a crazy, sloppy biotch." (Falls back into crowd of girls.)

Old Spice, Anyone?

The feisty diva host of the The Dish, Danielle Fishel (We know her as Topanga from Boy Meets World) totally makes all of us forget that Old Spice guy... (the funny one on that commercial, you know.) by having him on the show! Thought I'd share a quick little humorous parody she did with the guest star of the Old Spice commercial... Enjoy!

OMGG: Gossip Girl Gets Good...

Attention Gossip Girl fanatics. Raise your hand if you have been watching the show religiously. (My hand is definitely up.)

Sadly, Chuck and Blair have split up last episode, but there is happy news to tell!

Dorota's wedding of course! The Waldorfs' beloved help, played to perfection by Zuzanna Szadkowski, is getting hitched this Monday, and it's all the doing of one Chuck Bass. (I know right? I was shocked too.)

Szadkowski told E! Hollywood News (accent-free) that, "Dorota's a big champion of everything that makes Blair happy, and she's a huge fan of Chuck and Blair, so she holds that hope for them to reconcile some of the sad stuff that happened last episode.''

So Dorota's pregnant, tying the not, and this time around, Chuck will be the one to fight for Blair's love. Speaking of love, little Jenny Humphrey is trying her best to shake the golden couple Nate and Serena, of their passion. However, Dan and Vanessa don't seem to be doing too shabby in the avenue of passion.

Leighton Meester (who turned 24 today, Happy Birthday Queen B!) has a new single, "Your Love Is a Drug," which will play during the episode on Monday.

OMGG, we can't wait.

Weezy Writes Behind Bars


Even though Lil Wayne is in prison, it won't stop him from writing... blogs that is.

Pop News Now reported that the rapper, who on March 8 was checked into Rikers Island, has launched a weekly blog for his fans, complete with a countdown clock. The site is WeezyThanxYou.com.

He promises he's doing well and thinks of his kids often. He finds time to work out, read the Bible and he claims he's going to be blogging for ESPN soon as well.

How that will happen? We're not sure.

But where there's a Weezy, there's a way.

"Good Morning, Angels..." Goodbye, Charlie


For the longest time, we all wondered who Charlie was... the identity of the actor who acted as the voice of Charlie on Charlie's Angels was supposed to be a secret.

His name is John Forsythe. He was a rare star and acted in many movies, his most famous, on Charlie's Angels.

E Online reported the actor died Thursday of pneumonia amid a yearlong battle with cancer, his family said. He was 92.

Forsythe's career endured for more than 50 years including his breakout acting in Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry.

E Online also reported that From 1976 to 1981, Forsythe phoned it in, in a good way, as Charlie Townsend, the no-profile, pool-lounging investigative agency owner on Charlie's Angels. The producer Aaron Spelling, asked his friend to handle the voice-only role in the pilot.
