BS SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
A Seattle-based audio entertainment Website has unveiled a new music format called ‘MiniVan’, described as “a softer experience for soccer moms” (oh, they just discovered ‘EZ Rock’?) . . . Darva Conger will pay her mother’s dental bills with proceeds from posing naked in “Playboy” (she’s showing her cavities in order to have mom’s fixed) . . . The new permanent home of the Academy Awards in Hollywood will be called the ‘Eastman Kodak Theater’, name rights which will cost the pic people a whopping $75 million (and you a buck every time you buy a roll of 24).
TODAY’S MOVIE OPENING:
The much-anticipated movie version of the Marvel Comics superhero series “X-Men”, stars Patrick Stewart as ‘Professor X‘ and Ian McKellen as his arch rival ‘Magneto’ (check out the background in outdoor scenes – that’s Toronto!). Dud movies based on Marvel Comics – “The Punisher”, “Judge Dredd”, “Captain America”. Hit movies based on Marvel Comics – just one, “Blade”, starring Wesley Snipes.
DOGS TO WED, PAVING THE WAY FOR PRINCE CHARLES:
A pair of German Shepherds will be formally married THIS WEEKEND in Alden NY because their owners were so touched when ‘Zak’ the male turned down a Whopper to sniff out his true love ‘Lakata’ the female. The whole beastly affair will be televised on “Animal Planet”. (Any dissenters wishing to stop the ceremony will need a garden hose.)
NATIONAL NUDE DAY NEWS:
If you dream about being naked in a public place, don’t worry. According to research from the American School of Metaphysics, being naked in a dream is quite normal and actually very common. (If you’re naked and livestock is involved — would that make a difference?)
WE LIKE “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”:
A poll of 20 legendary songwriters the likes of Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson for UK magazine “Mojo” has picked The Beatles’ “In My Life” as the ‘Greatest Song Ever Written’, followed by the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” and “Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz”. (Right about now, Beethoven really IS rolling over.)
TINKLE TREATMENT:
According to “Natural Health” mag, a sure cure for summer sunburn is – your own urine! Yup, a mixture of pee and olive oil applied overnight is said to sooth pain, reduce redness and prevent peeling. And, they say, there’s no odor. (When it comes to sunburn, I say piss on it!)
