73-year-old actorDavid Carradinewas found dead [3 June] in his Bangkok, Thailand hotel room. KABC first broke the story and reported the Kung Fu and Kill Bill star died of natural causes.
Now unconfirmed reports coming out of Thailand claim the actor was found by a maid with a rope around his neck and body which is leading Thai police to believe he committed suicide. His agent claims David had been in great spirits throughout his trip to Thailand. There is no word if police are looking into his death as a possible homicide.
Like most kids, Eliso Tovar loves video games. So his mom, Tamatha, bought him a PlayStation Portable for a late Christmas present at a Wal-Mart in Manatee County, Fla. What happened next would shock the entire family.
Saturday, when the 6-year-old boy turned on the PSP for the first time, he said a naked woman appeared on the screen saver. Afraid he would be grounded, Eliso ran to his mom crying.
Tamatha said she found a memory card inside the PSP containing hundreds of pornographic pictures. She claimed it’s not hers and it was in the PSP before she opened the box.
She then called the store wanting to speak with a manager about the problem. “I explained the situation and his response was, ‘well, bring the machine down and we’ll let your son pick out a new game,'” she said. “And I was like, no I don’t think you heard what I said.”
A spokesperson for Wal-Mart said they’re concerned about the situation and are looking into what happened. Tamatha says she wants a new PSP and an apology.
Brilliant marketing scheme though. Think about it, Wal-Mart gets attention and an influx of customers. And that kid is so gonna be into porn when he grows up. The seed has been planted.
The World Championship is a five days music festival with battles, showcases, workshops and the Beatbox Battle World Conference. Over 140 vocal percussion and beatboxing artists from more than 30 different countries will take part in the event.
The whole program will be broadcast live online free of charge. For complete details, check out their website, but for a jaw-dropping morning rush, check out the online Wild Card Champ (ie, the newcomer who won entry via YouTube) 17 year old Julia Dales, from Canada.
I don’t remember the last time I heard beatboxing, which is probably why this video caught my ears. It’s cool but the truth is I get pretty board watching a whole battle …But Go Julia!
No, this isn’t a post about the musical of the same name, but of my shear fear for life last night as I was in my garage watching “Flavour of Love3”. I muted the TV set when the adds came on and heard nothing but cats crying. Freaking cats man. They were all around me right just screaming their freaking cat heads off. Anyway, a friend told me that it’s a normal occurrence, when cats are doing it. Just sick.
Now I wish there was a pet cemetery ritual going on or something.
Gillette’s new series of animated web tutorials are kind of ridiculous. I mean, before this video, I swear it’s been a self-taught, quick to learn thing, right? And hey, there ain’t nothing wrong with a little proof that you graduated puberty (I wonder if I’ll ever have to recite those words someday), unless your woman says so, of course. Then you do as she commands, I mean, says. Always.
The statue/model/robot is on display at E3 outside Ubisoft’s booth for the corresponding video game which will release alongside the film. Up until now, specific details and visuals from the film have been pretty scarce.
For those unfamiliar, Avatar is a 3D film set to take place in the 22nd century. The basic premise is that humans visit a distant moon full of giant blue aliens using genetically engineered “avatars” that they mentally inhabit [and it was filmed here in New Zealand]
Cameron says the film was inspired by all the sci-fi books he read as a child.
The other day I woke up to some of the best Internet entertainment I’ve seen in a long time. The MTV Movie Awards with Sasha Baron Cohen presenting an award as Bruno.
Lets just say things turned upside down with hilarious consequences. At first I thought Eminem might be in on it, but that thought was short lived when the MegaLolz came:
LOLZOR, how many f-bombs did Eminem drop while balancing Bruno’s nut sack on his chin?
