"GI Joe" is AWOL for Critics

It's the biggest movie of the summer that practically no one has seen. "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isn't screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand.

Instead, the studio says it's intentionally aiming the movie at the heartland, at cities and audiences outside the entertainment vortexes of New York and Los Angeles. Paramount held a screening Friday for 1,000 military service members and their families at Andrews Air Force Base; it's also focusing marketing efforts in places like Kansas City, Charlotte, N.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

With a reported production budget of $175 million and a cast that includes Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "G.I. Joe" follows the adventures of an elite team using high-tech spy and military equipment to take down a corrupt arms dealer. It comes from director Stephen Sommers, whose previous films include "The Mummy" and "Van Helsing."

Automakers Give Rave Reviews to 'Cash for Clunkers'

With its awful name and convoluted rules, the cash-for-clunkers program might well have been a flop, yet it turned into a surprising success, even inspiring many of its critics to call for an additional $2 billion in funding. One big reason: the program boosted July 2009 sales of new cars and trucks, giving the economy a bit of a lift.

Most people are turning in their low-mileage SUV's for more fuel efficient, smaller vehicles. Do you plan to visit a car dealer to look into taking advantage of the program?

Any questions? Now let's see YOUR birth certificate all you naysayers.

Bueller....Bueller....Anyone?

1980's cult film director John Hughes is Dead. John Hughes' coming-of-age films filled with teen angst defined the 80's for many Generation X'ers. He launched and/or solidified the careers of many stars including Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Matthew Broderick, Macaulay Culkin, and Anthony Michael Hall. His films included The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, National Lampoon's Vacation, and Home Alone.

Ben Stein, who said the iconic "Bueller, Bueller,...Anyone?" in Hughes' film Ferris Bueller's Day Off had this to say about his friend, "

He made a better connection with young people than anyone in Hollywood had
ever made before or since," Stein said on Fox Business Network. "It's incredibly
sad. He was a wonderful man, a genius, a poet. I don't think anyone has come
close to him as being the poet of the youth of America in the postwar period. He
was to them what Shakespeare was to the Elizabethan Age."

Was J.R. Smith twittering gang messages?

Denver Nuggets guard, J.R. Smith, has deleted his Twitter page after The Denver Post questioned his use of known gang symbols in his tweets. Apparently fans noticed he would occasionally change the "c" in certain words to a "k" which is supposedly a Bloods gang practice. He posted this parting message before he took his page down Tuesday:

"ok people i love all of my fans im sorry but this will be my last tweet you know why but it is what it is love all an tke Care"

Notice he wanted to make sure you all caught that last C in care. Really, if they wanted to know what he's been up to all they would have to do is read his body.

Vanity Fair covers: Michael Jackson and Farrah

Vanity Fair produced a double cover for their September issue. The covers memorialize Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett who died on the same day. In today's Michael news, it was reported the Jackson family is considering a third autopsy to look for evidence of foul play. Knowing in graphic detail what is invovled in an autopsy, I think this is a mistake. I know Michael's body is just a shell, but I think the mutilation needs to stop and they should look to lay him to rest. They can still launch a private investigation; they should certainly look at a lot of those other doctors who interacted with and prescribed for Michael.

You might recall, Michael Jackson and Tatum O'Neal dated for a time during their teenage years. Well, more on that later. Anyway, the Vanity Fair story contains an interview with Ryan O'Neal, Tatum's father and Farrah's longtime boyfriend, where he confessed he tried to hit on a hot blonde at Farrah's funeral. He says he saw this stunning woman come up to him at the funeral right after he finished putting Farrah's casket in the hearse, and he asked her for a drink (and more). He was shocked when that woman said, 'Daddy, it's me--Tatum!' Apparently Ryan had not seen his daughter in years and did not recognize her. Disgusting, isn't it? It is also worth noting, Ryan was allegedly livid Michael Jackson's death eclipsed Farrah's in the media.

Now back to Michael and Tatum. Michael was reportedly smitten with Tatum, but their relationship had problems because he refused to have sex with her. Michael wanted to remain a virgin until he married or until he was at least deeply in love with someone who would be there for the long term. Tatum reportedly tried to seduce him on a regular basis and cheated on him while they were together. Michael knew she wasn't the one; in her autobiography, Tatum admits to smoking opium and participating in orgies when she was only 13.

Caribana Parade This Past Saturday in Toronto, Canada

Jump up and stand back.
That was the plan.
It worked, too, until about 3 p.m., when the gyrating masses at the 42nd Caribana parade decided they'd had enough. It was time to celebrate in true Caribana style. Up the street, thousands of plumed masqueraders danced with heroic stamina, while bass-heavy soca music rattled the peripheral vision of anyone who got close enough to one of 37 bands. Organizers estimated more than a million revellers attended the parade along the 3 mile route. The annual festival ended on Sunday.
