Teaser posters for “Green Lantern” released

After the Green Lantern panel featuring stars Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan/Green Lantern) and Blake Lively (Carol Ferris) made a splash at Comic-Con over the weekend, teaser posters have made their way on line, which also feature Mark Strong (Sinestro) and Peter Sarsgaard (Hector Hammond).

Love the make-up effects (the little that’s shown) for the two baddies.

Simon Sued!

Would be contestants of the upcoming X-Factor should take note.

An embittered cast off from Britain’s Got Talentwho’s rendition of “You Raise Me Up” was bad enough to make me take a screw driver and swirl it around in my ears until Simon Cowell thankfully pulled the plug on her, is suing the producer and the show over the way she was treated.

Ema Czikai says that Simon hurt her feelings and disregarded a letter she wrote in which she explained that she suffers from a medical condition that can impair her singing voice, adding “I haven’t got a horrible singing voice when I sing in a fair environment that meets the needs of my particular disabilities.”  Emma says she filed the $3.8 million dollar suit to retain her “self respect and dignity”.

Bitch, please. 

Emma says she plans to give any money she’s awarded to charity.  No doubt. She should invest it in singing lessons instead.  Take a look at the clip below and judge for yourself.

The Situation may have a situation to contend with

Oh noes!  Trouble brewing for the third season of Jersey Shore again already (maybe). 

According to P6, the rest of the cast is fed up with Mike “The Situation Sorrentino’s ego, which is supposedly getting too big for the others liking.  Considering they’re all shameless famewhores who got hired for being just that, this is as perplexing as it is ironic.

Apparently, the fact that The Situation was approached first when that salary dispute occured earlier this month didn’t help matters any either.  Word is some members of the cast are going to try and drive him out.

Expect much more manufactured drama a’la The Hills for season three, which will be begin filming soon in Seaside Heights, NJ.

Because the week just can’t start without a Mad Mel rant story

Here we go, yet again.

Radar Online has now released the first of many voicemails that Mad Mel left Gold-Digger.  Well, at least by selling a voicemail where he knew he was being recorded she’s not breaking any laws or court orders this time.

In this sure to be smash from the people who brought you his previous hits, Mad Mel tells Gold-Digger to get it on with her ex, Timothy Dalton, calling her a “Glum C**t” and saying “You can get it on with anybody else and your son can watch it.”

He certainly has a way with words, no?

It’s pretty clear now that whatever their motives where initially, each bit off way more than they could chew by becoming involved with one another.

Cripes.

and now, a word from Captain Jack Sparrow…

 

The above clip was shown at Comic-Con (to thunderus applause, no doubt) over the weekend.  Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens Memorial Day Weekend, 2011.

Michael Lohan is single again and wants revenge

The famewhoring father of Lindsay Lohan, who’s been appearing on all the tabloid shows he can recently, engagement to the equally odious Kate Major apparently came to a crashing halt when he allegedly went all Mel Gibson on her and pushed her out of a chair then kicked her in the face.

Police are investigating the allegations as Kate had previously got a restraining order against him (it’s worth noting that he’s been accused of domestic violence before).  Michael is now trying to sell nude pics he took of Kate while she was sleeping this past spring.  Charming.

Of his actions, Kate says “He took these pictures of me without my knowledge. At the time he was my fiancé. I have just found out about these images today and moving forward my lawyer, William O’Conner, will be handing the legalities of anyone that reproduces them.”

Lohan for his part says (without any apparent irony) “She has no money, no job and she’s been living off of me for the last eight months. If she doesn’t stop the nonsense, more and more will come out. I am tired of being used by people who need to make up stories to make money off others.”

Why would anyone want to see the z-list ex assistant of Lindsay Lohan, who became a Star Magazine reporter, only to quit her job to date Jon Gosselin, whom she then dumped for Michael Lohan naked?  

Try as I might, I have little sympathy for Kate.  You know what they say about lying down with dogs…

Everyone’s a critic these days

Music is a very subjective art form and everyone’s taste differs.  However, a group of pigeons apparently really don’t care for the group Kings of Leon sound at all.

Word is the birds were pooping on the band members so badly during a concert Friday night in St Louis, they had to stop three songs into their set.  This sort of thing would never have phased Ozzy Osbourne back in the day.  Just sayin’…

Kings of Leon promised that they’ll reschedule the concert for another time, while the pigeons hopefully move on to a bigger and even more deserving target (this would make my life if it happened to Justin Bieber).

Concert goers were overheard saying they thought the whole thing was “sh*tty”.

Avengers Assemble at Comic-Con

Just in time for Comic-Con, Marvel Studios have signed on the actor to take over the role of Bruce Banner (The Hulk), and of course they trotted him out on stage with the rest of the cast that makes up The Avengers last night.

From left to right, Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth (yum) as Thor, Chris Evans (double yum) as Captain America, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, followed by Director Joss Wheldon and Marvel Studios Kevin Fiege.

I don’t know about you, but when I first saw this I had a nerdgasim.  Apparently, the geeks in the audience (and there were several thousand) went nuts.

Debate is already raging with fanboys (who can be as fussy as old women when it comes to these things) about Mark Ruffalo taking over the role of Bruce Banner.  Personally, I don’t see a problem with it.  Mark’s a very talented actor and is apparently great to work with, which is what the studio was looking for.

With Joss Wheldon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) on board expect cracking sharp dialogue and a great story.  Can’t wait to see who the big bad is that The Avengers do battle with.

Captain America and Thor will be coming to the screen next summer, and The Avengers is scheduled for a summer 2012 release.

When Geeks Attack

According to Comic-Con organizers and the San Diego police, this is a total first in the event’s history.

Apparently, the moron in a Harry Potter shirt in the picture above got into a dispute over seating with another attendee and stabbed the guy in the side of his eye with a pen during the Resident Evil: Afterlife panel.

Ouch.

The man was detained by other guests at the scene until the police showed up and taken into custody.  Wonder if this will give the perp some much needed street cred at the next Star Trek convention he attends?

Is Oksana over-playing her hand?

TMZ is saying Oksana (Gold-Digger) Grigorieva has voicemails that Mad Mel left her ranting and raving about various things as he is wont to do.  She plans on releasing them (maybe as a boxed set for Christmas?) to the highest bidder.  I sense a bidding war in the works between TMZ and Radar Online.

Speaking of TMZ, Gold-Digger supposedly had her rep go to them on her behalf, telling them that Mel had said he wanted “Jew blood on his hands” in apparent reference to TMZ over-lord Harvey Levine, for breaking the story on Mad Mel’s original anti-semitic rant back in 2006 (the Sugar-Tits debacle).  Gold-Digger claimed Mel told her he was having Levine followed, and planned to have him kidnapped, then left out in the desert beaten, naked, with broken knee-caps.  Gold-Digger says she went to the police, but Levine was never contacted by them and his minions at TMZ investigated, eventually dismissing the story as fiction.

As for the original tapes that started this whole thing, looks like it may have been Gold-Digger’s sister, Natalie, that sold the tapes to Radar Online.  Word is she’s being investigated by authorities as well as Gold-Digger and could be held in contempt of court, as the tapes were ordered sealed by the judge presiding over the custody case back in June.  Apparently, the tapes were shopped around, with most outlets saying no, as the sisters (come on, they’re  both in on it) wanted them to be purchased without anyone hearing any of them first.
