Entourage Season 6 Episode 1 Debuts Tonight
We’ve all been waiting quite some time for HBO’s hit series Entourage to come back on and bring a little joy to our Sunday nights before the Monday through Friday “battle” begins. To no real surprise of anyone, Vince and his crew are back on top at the start of season 6. In the last episode of season 5, Vince lands a gig as the second lead in a Martin Scorcese-directed flick call Gatsby. Gatsby is the story of race car driver and founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari.
Vince and the rest of the guys are back in a beautiful California mansion, living it up, waiting for the premier of the highly-acclaimed flick. One big thing to look for in this season are the addition of Ari’s old friend Andrew Pressman, to the staff at the Miller Gold Agency. Will they go on to make millions and recapture the success they were destined to have years ago? My hunch is that there’s only room for one alpha male at Miller Gold.
Another interesting twist in Season 6 is that Turtle actually has a girlfriend! Not just any girlfriend, but Soprano’s star Jamie Lynn Siegler. Nice catch, Turtle! Were rooting for you – don’t mess this one up.

Since I’m not a big fan of roller coasters and other theme park rides, the fact that Six Flags recently filed for bankruptcy doesn’t really bother me.
Six Flags had been staving off the looming bankruptcy, trying to negotiate its increasing debt outside of court with private lenders. However, when they couldn’t reach an agreement, they had no choice but to file for bankruptcy in a Delaware court early Saturday morning.
The New York Times reports that Six Flags had a staggering $2.4 billion in debt and faced a payment of $300 million to preferred stockholders this August. Though the newly-installed management team has done a great job of cutting Six Flags’ net losses over the past 2 years, it wasn’t enough to counterbalance a 24% drop in revenue. And, because of the credit markets still largely frozen, Six Flags had a difficult time trying to offload their debt.

Critics are up in arms about the recent jokes David Letterman made about former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Did Letterman go too far this time? I guess that’s up to you. Letterman remarked that Palin was going for the “slutty flight attendant look” on her recent trip to New York. He also took a stab at her daughter, joking that she “got knocked up by a New York Yankee”. in my opinion, they’re just jokes. Politicians are fair game.
Maybe people are starting to feel like Palin is being picked on a bit much. But, with her antics during the presidential election race, you really can’t blame anybody for making fun of her. I say keep the jokes comin’!

Last night at the MTV Video Music Awards, the fans got quite a show from Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Bruno’ character. Bruno is a very in-your-face homosexual who gets his laughs in by making straight guys feel really, really uncomfortable. Eminem was his latest victim, and he was not happy about it.
Bruno came down from cable attached to the ceiling, dressed as some sort of angel/fairy and landed right on Eminem’s face – bare-assed! Eminem looked completely surprised and appalled – his entourage immediately threw Bruno off of him and started to push him around, while Eminem repeatedly cursed Bruno. The act did not appear to be staged at all, and Eminem certainly looked surprised. After Bruno flew away, Em and his crew immediately got up from their seats and stormed out of the show.
Check out the video of Eminem getting teabagged by Bruno:

It’s a sad day for Manchester United fans across the world as their beloved football (or “soccer” as I like to call it) team was defeated by Barcelona. The Champions League final ended up with Man U losing 2-0 to Barcelona, who now holds claim to the European Crown.
The Spanish now have captured their third European Cup title and third trophy in their glorious winning season. For 38 year old Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, it was truly an amazing season. Pep was able to accomplish this with a great team in just his first season – that’s quite a feat for a young guy and a first year coach.
Barcelona had won the title back in 1992 and again in 2006. Pep Guardiola played on the winning ‘92 team, so he gets to have this experience from two sides, which makes it an even great victory.

Another year, another Indy 500. For those of you who are interested in the Indy 500, this years winner was Helio Castroneves. This is Helio’s third win in the famous Nascar race, where he’s really making a name for himself. GoDaddy spokeswoman and my personal favorite, Danica Patrick, took third in the race. Unfortunately, Danica was never really close to leading, and ultimately ended up in third place, finishing behind Dan Wheldon.
A special thanks to the ever-informative Inquisitr for the Indy 500 update!

HelloRoss.com, yet another blog about “fun” was recently featured on The Tonight Show. I didn’t catch the show, but from the looks of it, the blog is really nothing special. If you visit helloross.com, you are redirected to a blogger blog, at helloross.blogspot.com – which just screams to me that it’s unprofessional. Sorry, blogger (and Google), but if you want a serious website, you should start with your own domain name.
Ross’s little intro on the blog states the following about him and his website:
“This is a place for you & me to connect, share & laugh. My goal in life is to try to have fun with whatever I’m doing – from the mundane to the extraordinary.”

Pearl Jam’s bassist, Jeff Ament, along with another band employee, were recently mugged outside of a recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Though the mugging took place on April 27th, it wasn’t reported to the major media outlets until recently.
Jeff and another band employee were outside of the recording studio in a rented Jeep Commander. As the story goes, three masked men armed with knives emerged from the surrounding woods and smashed the windows of the Jeep. They reportedly got away with around $7300 in cash and goods, including a BlackBerry (boo hoo).
Ament tried to bail and started running from the scene, but one of the masked men caught up to him and tossed him to the ground. The suspect then plucked his backpack, which included his passport. The suspects then fled back into the woods and hopped into a black Nissan Maxima, their supposed getaway car. Security cameras outside of the studio captured the incident but are unable to identify the suspects since they cleverly wore masks. Gee, criminals sure are getting smart these days!
Continue ReadingMADtv Cancelled, Airs Series Finale
MADtv, the liveaction sketch comedy show on Fox, aired what is to be their last episode ever…at least on Fox. Fox announced that they were cancelling MADtv in December, and that this was to be their final episode. Executive producer, David Salzman, still has hope that another network will pick up the show and they can continue their work. The series finale on Fox airs tonight at 11pm est. If you’re a fan, check it out, ’cause it could be the last episode ever!
The NY Daily News reports Salzman saying:
“We view this as the Fox finale,” Salzman told the Daily News. “We’ve had 14 incredible seasons with Fox … but we are in discussions with other networks about continuing the show, though we don’t have anything definitive to talk about now.”
Continue ReadingMontauk Monster Found on Shores of Long Island…Again
My good friend and fellow blogger, Nicky Papers, was the first to report the discovery of the second so-called “Montauk Monster” on his website, Montauk-Monster.com. having the most official website on the montauk monster on the web, Mr. Papers get lots of inquires about the beast, and even some about hoaxes.
So when he was contacted by a local L.I. couple claiming to have found another “monster”, he had to drive out to the shores of Southold and see it for himself. Nicky was amazed at what he saw, but also disgusted. The lifeless, rotting and unidentifiable corpse smelled something awful. Being the owner of the official montauk monster website, Nicky had to take as many pics and even videos as he could stomach! Check them out here.
The original Montauk Monster, which also washed up on Long Island, was discovered last summer. Experts came to the conclusion that the monster was actually a partially decomposed raccoon, based on it’s bone structure and other physical features. This “conclusion”, of course, is still doubted by some skeptics. Good work, Mr. Papers, and we hope to get some more updates as you learn more!
