Congrats to our man Cleveland for finally getting his own show. That schtick is solid enough to carry 30 minutes on it’s own and I’m supporting this move. The show will premier in mid-Spring 2009 and 13 episodes are planned.

Here’s a preview:

Looks like Kate Hudson is rebounding from Owen Wilson with Tour de Francer Lance Armstrong.  The two have apparently been “quietly dating for weeks now.”  The new couple was seen flying from New York to Austin where Lance Armstrong has a ranch.

C’mon Kate, The Darjeeling Limited wasn’t that bad.

Roid-head-game-disrespecter Jason Giambi was quoted by the NY Daily News today saying that he has worn a golden thong to get out of a hitting slump.  No surprise here: Derek Jeter says the golden thong “works” and Johnny Damon has admitted to wearing the thong “probably three times.”

The team that shares male lingerie together.. um whatever.

In the mood to rent a movie this weekend? Well I stumbed my way around the Interweb at work yesterday and came across this list of the Top 250 movies as ranked by IMDb.

So without further ado, below are the top movies along with their rating (out of 10) and year they were released….

1. 9.1 The Godfather (1972)

Because sometimes we like to torture our readers:

How is it that all the rich and powerful stars are having twins nowadays? With all the money that these rich people are making, I’m beginning to wonder if they are mucking around with Mother Nature and choosing to pay to have twins vs. it being the luck of the draw. Even going as far as choosing the sexes. We know that medical technology is at a point where you can genetically select your child’s sex, it’s incredibly expensive but definitely possible. Did these celebrities go that far? I remember when they first announced Julia Roberts was having twins, it was during about the 10th week of her pregnancy and they announced her having boy/girl twins…well as any new parent knows…you don’t get to know the sex until you are 15 to 20 weeks pregnant. My first inclination is to say, genetic selection. read_more

Tonight is the night my Rambo loving friends. As I reported last month the original Rambo is back in theaters for one night only. The fun starts tonight 7:30 pm at The Bridge: cinema de lux in West LA at the 405 and Howard Hughes. Tickets are $10 each. You can buy advanced seating here. Rambo: First Blood is Rated R (Obviously)

As we mentioned in a previous article, there’s a new Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff coming to the CW, and everyone is wondering what original characters will rejoin the show.

Jennie Garth has apparently signed on to play a recurring role as a school guidance counselor. This makes sense after her studies in psychology, working at the clinic, and well, being a part of that creepy guy in the wheelchair’s cult. Add to that the experience she’s had with eating disorders and drug use and she’s been around the block enough to help out those new West Beverly students. read_more

What a lethal combination of Awesomeness! Pimp N Hos, Beer Pong, and Happy Endings! If this isn’t every man’s wet dream then I don’t know what is. The last time I played beer pong was in college so I am sure I am out of practice, but I am dying to give it a try again. So this Sunset Strip Bar and Restaurant “Happy Ending’s” will be just as much fun as it’s namesake, the standard massage parlor finish! Well actually it’s full name is “Hollywood the Happy Ending”, but anyway, here’s the skinny… read_more

Ok museum lovers, here is a reason to head down to Orange County…The Terra Cotta Warriors Exhibit at the Bowers Museum in Santa Anna May 18 to Oct 16. I just booked my tickets today for July. Although this probably won’t be as busy as the King Tut Exhibit at LACMA in 2005, I’d book your tickets relatively soon as there are only six time slots a day, unlike the dozen or more slots they had available at King Tut.

Not familiar with the Terra Cotta Wariors? Dubbed as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century, thousands of terra cotta warriors were buried with China’s First Emperor, Shi Huangdi, to protect him in the afterlife. I have been fascinated by this vast burial site since I first heard about it, and since we all can’t make it to China to see the original Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, the OC and it’s 20+ Terra Cotta warriors on display will have to do. Go experience a bit of history at the Bowers Museum in Orange county. Click here for tickets

The Bowers Museum is located at 2002 North Main Street, Santa Ana, CA 92706 with Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit running from May 18, 2008 to October 16, 2008, with the time slots of 10 am, 11am, noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm daily.

If you are in the mood for cupcakes or are looking for a fun place to take a date this weekend, go check out the Cupcake Challenge. Ten bakeries in LA will be showing off their cupcake baking skills and allowing event attendees to pick a winner. The site says this is a contest for the “best cupcakes in Los Angeles”, but I find this hard to believe since they left off two of my would be top choices of Sprinkles in Beverly Hills and Lida’s Bake Shop (see photo) in Sherman Oaks. I mean come on people, to be a true contest has gotta have the BIG players at it. Either way though, this should be a fun event with great wine and cup cakes. Entrance fee is read_more
