Box-Office Predictions: Will The Dark Knight Stay On Top?
Written by Jay on August 8, 2008 – -I missed my box-office prediction for last week but the week before I did pretty good. I predicted The Dark Knight was going to finish on top with Step Brothers finishing second and I was pretty close on the weekend earnings as well.
Anyways, this week, will the Dark Knight remain on top? Last week they barely beat out The Mummy but I’m going to take a shot and say they will barely finish first, again.
Now I have my doubts but I thought about it and saw what was coming out this weekend and didn’t see any real box-office contenders. I mean, Pineapple Express came out, looks pretty funny but I highly doubt it’s going to do better than Step Brothers’ opening weekend of $30 million.
I know their Superbad movie pulled in about $33 million the opening weekend but the downfall is the fact that the movie is rated R and how many pot smokers will actually pay to see the movie?
Also, the chick flick Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is out but like I said, it’s a chick flick. And I don’t think there will be enough chicks forcing their boyfriends to watch it with them. Let me correct myself, I think the boyfriends will take a stand and not be a victim to this movie (including myself!).
So, this is my predictions:
1. Pineapple Express with $31 million – Hey, I’m going to support the movie this weekend!
2. The Dark Knight with $27 million
3. The Mummy with $22 million
Well, I know you guys thought I was going to pick the Dark Knight but think they will be dethroned this week by the pot smoking snack munchers!
The chick flick won’t make it in the top 3…
That’s my predictions, what do you guys think?

Brett Favre Trade: Finally! Do I Smell Madden Curse?
Written by Jay on August 7, 2008 – -
With all the good things this NFL season, the Brett Favre trade was not one of them. Matter of fact, Brett Favre coming back from retirement has taken over the NFL news it has gotten somewhat annoying. Plus, with his eager return, do I smell a Madde curse for this season?
Before we get to the Madden curse, let’s just get this Brett Favre trade talk done and over with. Favre and the Packers couldn’t come up with an agreement due mainly to his indecisiveness of staying retired or not. Well, the Packers moved on and Brett Favre’s selfishness is finally done; he’s going to play… for the New York Jets.
The Green Bay Packers finally reached an agreement yesterday to trade Favre to the Jets. And the ugly split between the two is finally over.
Now Brett Favre re-returning from retirement on various occasions has gotten him on the cover Madden 2009 football game. Now if history plays out, being on the Madden videogame cover isn’t as great as it seems. A majority of people who appear on the cover end up having a terrible season or worse, injured.
Could the Madden curse affect the Brett Favre trade and re-returning from retirement? Well, since the Jets aren’t going to make the playoffs, I think Favre should be extremely careful.
And if he has a horrible season or gets injured, I guess the Madden curse lives on, huh?

Dr. Dre’s Detox Album is Finally Coming!
Written by Jay on August 6, 2008 – -
In a recent interview with USA Today, the West Coast super producer announced the Detox album will be hitting stores around November or December this year!
“I’m just now – over the last couple of months – starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” Dre told the interviewer. “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”
Now, it seems like we’ve heard that line before. I swear Dr. Dre’s Detox album was going to hit stores the past two or three winters ago. But to give Dre credit, he’s a perfectionist and if the album isn’t right, well, he’s simply not going to release it.
“I’ve never set out to do that,” Dre said. “I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don’t put it out until I’m totally happy with it. Then it does what it does.”

Eraserhead Reunion Concert Rumored to Happen August 30, 2008
Written by Jay on August 5, 2008 – -
If you guys have no idea who The Eraserheads (or E-Heads) are, they were a prominent Filipino rock band of the 1990s that include members such as Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro. This band was said to be “The Beatles of the Philippines.”
I believe the Eraserheads disbanded in 2002 from various disagreements and it is said that past tension has the Eraserhead Reunion Concert still up in the air.
Who knows? But supposedly if the Eraserhead Reunion Concert rumor is true, it will be a one-time thing and sources say it’s mainly for the money as hugs and kisses are very unlikely.
We’ll see what happens, but according to an article from the Philippine Entertainment Portal, the Eraserheads confirmed this one-night concert deal at the Cultural Center of the Philippines grounds on August 30.

Hilary Duff Bikini Pictures/Photos/Images
Written by Jay on August 4, 2008 – -
Damn, Hilary Duff has become HOT! So, I decided to put Hilary Duff bikini pictures on here to celebrate the summertime and her hotness. I mean, she has grown so much into a beautiful, sexy young woman.
In addition to the Hilary Duff Bikini pictures and images, I also found a Hilary Duff bikini video that was filmed during her photoshoot for her Shape Magazine cover. Again, I’m still in awe how much she has drastically changed into this sexy woman right in front of our eyes.
Actually, I never really knew her from her Disney channel days so I don’t have that awkward feeling about her. But even from when Hilary Duff was in her mid-teens, she drastically changed.
Below is the Hilary Duff bikini photoshoot for Shape Magazine and below that are additional Hilary Duff bikini pictures/photos/images.
