WEEKEND RELEASE OF ATL’ FILM RAISES SECURITY

By RICHARD L. ELDREDGE of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Could a coming-of-age film set at a Southside Atlanta skating rink translate into overtime for mall cops next weekend? That was the not-so-subtle implication of a memo about the upcoming movie "ATL" that was e-mailed this week to seven shopping centers: Perimeter, Cumberland, Discover Mills, NorthPoint, Oglethorpe, Southlake and Augusta malls. In the memo, Valor Security Service Perimeter Mall security director W. Mark Crowell warns: "On March 31, the movie ‘ATL’ will be released in theaters. A theater manager at one of our properties has alerted the mall team that this movie could cause potential behavior problems. The movie trailer indicates that themes in the movie include moral choices and narcotics trafficking … Please appropriately prepare your security staffs for the release of this movie." Valor provides security for the seven malls.

CHARLIE SHEEN QUESTIONS 9/11 EVENTS

Charlie Sheen has accused the US government of covering up the real events of September 11. The heartthrob actor has revealed he doesn’t believe the official account of the atrocity in 2001. He told GGN Radio Network’s ‘The Alex Jones Show’: “It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box-cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 per cent of their targets feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions.” The actor also said he was suspicious about the cause of the Twin Towers collapse, saying it looked like a “controlled demolition”. The ‘Two and a Half Men’ star – who has two children with estranged wife Denise Richards – also reportedly questioned the way a plane managed to hit the Pentagon. Sheen thinks the public need to uncover the real version of events for the sake of the victims and those who lost their loved ones. He said: “It is up to us to reveal the truth. It is up to us because we owe it to the families, we owe it to the victims, we owe it to everyone’s life that was drastically altered, horrifically, that day and forever. “We owe it to them to uncover what happened.”

MUHAMMED ALI’S 12TH ANNUAL CELEBRITY FIGHT NIGHT BENEFIT

 

Muhammad Ali gave the lunatics the keys to the asylum last weekend when he invited Robin Williams and Jim Carrey to his 12th annual Celebrity Fight Night benefit. Both of them came to Phoenix to help the champ battle Parkinson’s disease. Accepting an award from the boxing legend, Williams wasted no time plopping himself on Ali’s lap and talking to him like he was Santa. “For those of you who are here to support Parkinson’s research,” said the comic, “I just want to remind you to keep lobbying: Third-generation stem cells are like using beef jerky for a skin transplant.” Williams also paid tribute to the late expletive-spewing comic Richard Pryor, The News’ Kasia Anderson reports. “I’d like to propose that, just like they retire jerseys in the NBA, we retire term ‘Mother-[bleeper]!’” Carrey noted that he and Ali share a birthday, then went searching for God. “I was born into the world with my arms like this, going, ‘God, I have a big funnel here — and I’m ready for all the gifts of the universe — for every blessing and bountiful goodness you have — bring it on! … It was hard on my mother! The doctor took a look and said, ‘Ah yes, he’s gotten ahold of an existential funnel. We’ll have to do a C-section!’” The wackiness may have infected Ali, who took to sneaking up behind his celeb guests during photo ops and making Devil horns. But clearly, he’s still on the side of the angels: The event raised $6 million. SOURCE

ANDY THE VIRGIN

This seems weird but why are the deleted scenes and outtakes from “The 40 year old virgin” funnier than some original scenes from the movie?

JOIN THE CLUB

“I’m gonna put a bullet in his f&%$in’ mummy head. I promise.”

Last Night’s episode of The sopranos “Join the club” was one of those freaky weird episodes. Tony wakes up in a hotel, heads out to the bar for a drink, loses his briefcase and wallet and cannot go back home but this all happening while he is in a coma. A group of business travelers heard about his dilemma and invited him to join them for dinner, in between their conversation Tony makes a statement that still has me thinking. “I’m 46 years old. I mean who am I? Where am I going?“. Tony lays in bed on a ventilator and the gun shot wound damaged his internal organs. There was a scene towards the end of the episode where Camerla is talking to Tony, asking him if he’s listening. It switches back to Tony in the Hotel room, staring at the phone but cant call home and there is a white light at the end of the city skyline. Weird.

SIDNEY LUMENT’S “FIND ME GUILTY”

 

Not everybody’s applauding Sidney Lumet’s “Find Me Guilty,” a courtroom drama about a real-life criminal trial in which Vin Diesel stars as Mafia wiseguy Jackie DiNorscio. But New Jersey resident Roe Guido, a 39-year-old mother of four, is a huge fan. She’s the daughter of DiNorscio, who successfully defended himself in the 21-month-long trial. “Vin did a great job, and I didn’t think he’d be able to do something like that, because I thought he was just an action hero,” Guido told me yesterday. “But nobody could have played my father better.”

Guido, whose father died of cancer in November 2004 at age 62 after spending more than half his life in prison, has been showering Diesel with praise since Monday’s New Jersey screening for friends, family and some of her dad’s running buddies who aren’t legally permitted to leave the state. “I just sent him a text message telling him that he made me and my father’s dreams come true. He was just impeccable.” SOURCE

MANDELA REVEALS PAST AS A PIG THIEF

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa- Former South African President Nelson Mandela admitted youthful sins during a visit with the makers of the Oscar-winning film “Tsotsi.” Mandela said he identified with the main character of the film, a young gangster. As a teenager in South Africa’s rural Transkei region, Mandela herded livestock. He and friends would use the dregs of locally brewed beer to lure pigs from the village, the BBC reported. Once they were far away, the boys would stab, roast and eat the pigs, he said. “Some of the leaders of this country and elsewhere in the world started with misdemeanors of all kinds, but as they grew up, they became responsible people who have served our country very well,” Mandela said. Mandela thanked the makers of “Tsotsi” for putting South Africa “on the map,” but film director Gavin Hood responded that it was Mandela himself who had done this. “Without what you did, we would not have been able to make this film together as South Africans in a free country,” Hood said.

TOM GREEN BREAKS RIBS WHILE FISHING

LOS ANGELES, CA- Tom Green broke two ribs when he was slammed by a wave while fishing in Central America, it was reported Wednesday. The comic was hospitalized Monday and released on Tuesday, his manager, Howard Lapides, told People magazine. Green, 34, was standing on rocks when he was hit by a “wall of water,” People said. “I actually tried to lean into (the wave), as if that would keep me in my footing,” Green posted on his Web site. It was like leaning into a freight train. And I was gone. I felt my life flash before my eyes,” he writes. “Milliseconds later I slammed hard onto the rocks … I could feel the cracking of bone.” A witness took Green to the hospital.

ANGELINA JOLIE TO STAR IN SIN CITY SEQUEL

Angelina Jolie is set to star in the sequel to ‘Sin City’.The screen beauty – who is pregnant with lover Brad Pitt’s baby – is reportedly being lined up to play the role of “A Dame To Kill” For in the second film. The actress will start shooting ‘Sin City 2′ after she gives birth later this year. Rosario Dawson, who is reprising her role as sexy hooker Gail, said: “The film’s kind of been postponed because the director Robert Rodriguez has been interested in Angelina Jolie for the lead. “But she’s very pregnant right now. So that’s putting an understandable hold on the film.”

WILL FERRELL IS NOT DEAD

 

It would appear that someone out there has a poor sense of humor. Apparently some internet lowlife seems to be spreading around a link to a fake and extremely poorly written press release claiming that Will Ferrell has died in a paragliding accident. This is what the release says: ‘Los Angeles — Actor Will Ferrell accidentally died in a freak para-gliding accident yesterday in Torey Pines, Southern California. The accident apparently happened somewhere near the famed paragliding site after a freak wind gush basically blew Ferrell and his companion towards a wooded area where they lost control before crashing into the dense foilage. Ferrell and his professional guide, Horacio Gomez of Airtek Paragliding Center attempted the jump at around 2 in the afternoon. According to witnesses, the conditions were basically ideal for para-gliding and the weather did’nt pose a problem at all.’

ISAAC HAYES QUITS SOUTH PARK

Isaac Hayes has quit “South Park,” where he voices Chef, saying he can no longer stomach its take on religion. Hayes, who has played the ladies’ man/school cook in the animated Comedy Central satire since 1997, said in a statement Monday that he feels a line has been crossed. “There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins,” the 63-year-old soul singer and outspoken Scientologist said.

GEORGE HAS SOME TWO WORDS FOR GUTLESS DEMS

 

George Clooney has a message for Democratic office-holders who voted for the war in Iraq, only to claim later that they’d been misled by President Bush:”F–k you!”. The movie star’s argument — directed at the likes of presidential wannabes Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry and John Edwards. Edwards is the only Senator thus far saying that voting for the war was a big mistake. “The fear of being criticized can be paralyzing,” Clooney writes today on Huffingtonpost.com — “Just look at the way so many Democrats caved in the runup to the war. In 2003, a lot of us were saying, where is the link between Saddam and Bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11? We knew it was bulls—.
“Which is why it drives me crazy to hear all these Democrats saying, ‘We were misled.’ It makes me want to shout, ‘F— you, you weren’t misled. You were afraid of being called unpatriotic.’”Clooney exhorts the lily-livered Dems to stop being cowards and put some steel in their spines.”It’s not merely our right to question our government, it’s our duty. Whatever the consequences,” he lectures.”We can’t demand freedom of speech, then turn around and say, ‘But please don’t say bad things about us.’ You gotta be a grownup and take your hits.”

S. AFRICA PARADES PRIDE IN OSCAR

 

The citizens of South Africa take the Academy Award more seriously than the denizens of Hollywood. “Tsotsi” director Gavin Hood — whose movie of crime, social class and redemption won the Oscar for best foreign-language film — can hardly wait for the official parade in honor of the cast and filmmakers when they return to Johannesburg on Sunday.

“I got the call of congratulations from President Thabo Mbeki’s office,” the 42-year-old Hood told me yesterday. “It’s a bit overwhelming. We’re going to have a welcome-home event through Joberg and the shanty towns, with a big celebration at the Market Theater in New Town. It’s as though we’ve just won the World Cup.”

FRANK VINCENT’S NEW BOOK

Michael Imperioli, Vincent Pastore, Dominic Chianese, Steve Van Zandt, Tony Sirico, Steve Schirripa, Paul Borghese and Danny Aiello toasted consummate Hollywood wiseguy Frank Vincent on his new book, “A Guy’s Guide to Being a Man’s Man.” Vincent’s pal James Gandolfini couldn’t make the Capitale party but he did write the book’s intro. “[Frank] has honor, loyalty, and respect,” vouches Gandolfini. What’s more, he likes the way that he and Vincent can “break each other’s b—s.”…

DAVID CHAPPELLE MAY NEVER RETURN TO COMEDY CENTRAL

 

DAYTON, Ohio — Comedian Dave Chappelle says he may never return to his hit Comedy Central show if the cable network goes through with plans to air new episodes culled from material he filmed before leaving the series. “I feel like it’s kind of a bully move,” Chappelle told the Dayton Daily News in a telephone interview for a story Wednesday. “That’s just how I feel about it. I don’t know if that’s the case. But if people don’t watch it, then I’d be more than happy.”

EDDIE MURPHY LOVES TO HELP

Eddie Murphy’s divorce from his ex Nicole Mitchell could reveal Eddie’s tranny past if she fights the prenup. Back in 1997 Eddie Murphy picked up a transvestite prostitute named Atisone Suiuli – a year later she fell from her rooftop in L.A. On other occasions Murphy “emptied” his wallet to help out other hookers, but denied any sex took place.

BRUCE WILLIS HATES PAYING TAX

 

“I’m a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government, I want less government intrusion. I want them to stop [expletive] on my money and your money and tax dollars that we give 50 percent of… every year. I want them to be fiscally responsible and I want these [expletive] lobbyists out of Washington. Do that and I’ll say I’m a Republican… I hate the government, OK? I’m a-political. Write that down. I’m not a Republican.”

DANIEL CRAIG NOT BOND?

Some James Bond fans are just retarded. Some Bond geek has created a website for his disaproval of Daniel Craig as the new 007. This moron feels studio exec Barbara Broccoli should place Pierce Brosnan to his former role. Well buddy, Pierce was stuck ing that role and Daniel Craig can really fucking act, who shares the young Sean Connery’s dangerous charisma more than any Bond since. See Layer Cake if you need convincing.

SOPRANOS IS BACK!

 

 

At Last, The Sopranos is finally back on TV. This has been one of my favorite shows, David Chase made me wait too long for Season 6. Last Season ended with the FBI taking Johnny Sack into custody, the death of Adriana and the reconciliation of both Tony and Carmella. There so many rumors floating around the web that Tony is gonna become a Boss or he might get whacked. One thing is for certain, someone is getting whacked in Boston.

TYLER PERRY DOES IT AGAIN

 

There must be something about a Black man in a dress that drives folks crazy.Whoever knew the Chitlin circuit was so big.Maybe, Tyler Perry but thats it.

JACK JOHNSON: A TRUE AFRICAN AMERICAN HERO

Last night, I was lucky enough to watch the PBS documentary, “Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson“. Now, I know that in all truthfulness, Jack Johnson was the Greatest fighter of the old also the first African-American Heavy weight Champion. One of my appreciation for Jack Johnson and adoration and other words that begin with the letter “a” that mean good stuff, is the fact that he was a true fighter. I mean I watched the title fight against Jess Willard, and they stated that it was 105 degrees and he fought to the 26th Round. 26th round!! It was rumored that Johnson allowed himself to be knocked out because of his marriages to white women, against the law at the time, and his flamboyant lifestyle that the White man could not stand. He later on became a connoisseur of Harlem night life, eventually opened his own supper club, Club Deluxe, at 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue which was later turned into the Cotton Club. Johnson died in a car accident in 1946 after being forced to eat in the back of a white diner in Raleigh, North Carolina.

BRUCE WILLIS BLASTS OPRAH OVER JAMES FREY

 

Bruce Willis has a few fighting words for Oprah over James Frey and even the tabloid magazines.

“Hey, Oprah,” Willis continues.

“You had President Clinton on your show, and if this [bleep] didn’t lie about a couple of things, I’m going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, OK? He can write whatever he wants. It’s fiction, and it’s just hard, it’s just shameful how he was treated in some of these things.”

Willis says Justin Timberlake “was asked to play James Frey in the making of that book, and he waited and waited and listened to everyone and he said – ‘Have you heard of this magazine called In Touch magazine or Us Weekly or InStyle or People or any of these magazines? They lie about people and they just make up [bleep] all week long, and you have to sue them to get it changed.’

“This is the world that we live in. That’s approved and people go, ‘That’s OK,’ and people go, ‘Ooooo, someone is [bleeping] this person over here. Someone did this over here.’ And they’re all lies and no one is yelling at them. So let’s leave James Frey alone.”

Without pausing for breath, Willis turned on Entertainment Weekly, which recently wrote that “Die Hard IV” was one sequel they “didn’t want to see.”

EW “hates me,” he fumed. “They’ve hated me since they’ve been a magazine. F – - – them. And you can go tell them that.”

SAMUEL AND CURTIS DO MOVIE TOGETHER

Seems like the Jacksons will be working together after all. If you recall Samuel L. Jackson stated that he doesnt want to star in movies with rappers, and Curtis ‘Fiddy Cent’ Jackson dissed him by calling him a ‘crackhead’. Well the two put their differences aside and will be starring in an upcoming movie on the war in Iraq. The Movie will be called “Home of the Brave”. The Movie will follow three Soldiers who return home and find it difficult to adjust. It would be good to see fiddy in this movie, just cause i will like to see if this idiot can play any other character than a ‘Gangster’.

Chris is expanding and moving into Tv, thats good for him considering that he played a very good role in “CRASH” as a philosophic car jacker.

SPIKE LEE VS. GANGSTA RAP

Spike Lee is a man known in Hollywood with many slashes -director/actor/writer/producer/outspoken social critic. On Wednesday night, the 48-year-old Lee retained the latter crown, poking fun at Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – and his brother – and speaking out against a “gangsta” mentality among some blacks and a mass media that cashes in on it. “No one gets upset that pimpdom gets elevated on a pedestal,” he said, repeatedly making references to Snoop Dogg and lambasting the rapper’s stereotype-fueled comedy “Soul Plane. “We are bombarded by these (’gangsta’) images again and again and again and again. They do make a difference on human behavior,” said Lee, adding that he thinks allowing a child to sit in front of a television unsupervised should be a criminal act. Lee, who has directed music videos, criticized “gangsta” rap videos for their portrayal of women as “ho’s.” He accused these rappers of “cooning” – a reference to an old racial slur that framed blacks as uneducated and primative. “African-Americans are known all over the world from these videos,” he said

“To us there was no constitution, no such thing as moral persuasion- the only thing left was the bullet.”- Rob Williams

NEGROES WITH GUNS: Rob Williams and Black Power tells the dramatic story of the often-forgotten civil rights leader who urged African Americans to arm themselves against violent racists. In doing so, Williams not only challenged the Klan-dominated establishment of his hometown of Monroe, North Carolina, he alienated the mainstream Civil Rights Movement, which advocated peaceful resistance.

OSCAR NOMINEES

 

These are the nominees for the 78th Annual Academy Awards. If you notice Terrance Howard is nominated for Best Actor for his role in “Hustle and Flow”. I did see this movie and it was pretty good but not oscar worthy. The good thing about this is that the Academy atleast recognizes Terrance’s great work this year i.e “Crash”. Jon Stewart will host the awards and you know he’s gonna rip it up.
