Few things are as scary as the thought of Jackass in 3D
.jpg)
Par and MTV Films are even further along with "Jackass 3," with filming scheduled to begin Jan. 25. The studio has carved out a spot on its 2010 slate for the latest "Jackass," which will star Johnny Knoxville. The low-brow franchise has been something of a cash cow for the studio with the first two films -- which together cost $16.5 million -- raking in a combined $164.1 million worldwide.Though Par confirmed the new "Jackass" will be shot in 3D, Dickhouse Prods. declined comment about the technology the film will employ. Insiders say Dickhouse's Jeff Tremaine, who will direct "Jackass 3," is conducting camera tests this week to ensure that the footage will look good.

John Frusciante: No Longer Red Hot
John Frusciante, who played guitar on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' biggest hits, is leaving the band after 16 years, according to a post on his website -- which, cutely, ended with a nice smilie icon."To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction," the guitarist wrote in his post. "I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer."
"Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature," he continued. "There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do."
Frusciante also revealed that he'd actually quit the band over a year ago, during a period of "indefinite hiatus" for the multi-platinum-selling rock group.

Get the munchies from... your munchie food.
A new restaurant on Broadway in downtown Denver claims it is the first of its kind... anywhere. Ganja Gourmet serves food items laced with marijuana. And not just brownies. This place has all kinds of different dishes made with pot sprinkled in.When voters legalized medical marijuana in Colorado in 2000, it's not certain if this is exactly what they had in mind.
Ganja Gourmet claims to be the first of it's kind, serving up more than just brownies. Dishes include lasagna, gourmet pizza, jambalaya, paella, even chocolate mousse and cheesecakes.
And it's legal.
"Do you have your medical marijuana card, that's the first thing we would ask," said Steve Horowitz of Ganja Gourmet.
That card gets you into Ganja Gourmet. You have to have it to belly up to the "bud" bar, as in marijuana bud. "We'd like them to come sit at the bar and give us their order, bring the food to them," Horowitz said.

Don't worry, Tiger! There's always Powerade.
Gatorade has dropped Tiger Woods' sports drink.It's the first major endorsement loss for the golfer in the wake of his cheating scandal and bizarre one-car crash.
Gatorade released a statement Tuesday saying the move to discontinue its "Tiger Focus" drink had nothing to do with the golfer's growing scandal and that the decision was made before Tiger's car crash and allegations of extra marital affairs.
A Gatorade spokesperson released this official statement to RadarOnline.com: "As reported last month, we decided several months ago to discontinue Gatorade Tiger Focus along with some other products to make room for our planned series of innovative products in 2010. We hope to share more about our 2010 plans soon."

In Florida, this is called "foreplay"
A 25-year-old Port St. Lucie man was arrested for allegedly rubbing a hamburger on his wife's face during an argument.
Police say Daniel Boss and his wife got into it late Thursday night and started calling each other names. At some point, the woman apparently poured soda on Boss' hamburger, causing him to grab the sandwich, rub it in her face and start throwing food.
Boss left, but his wife went to the police station to report the incident. Officers arrested him three hours later on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.
It could not be determined if Boss had an attorney.

50 Cent is safe from the wrath of Marv Albert... For now.
American broadcaster MARV ALBERT is baffled by reports he fought with 50 CENT and his entourage backstage at a TV talk show last week.The 68-year-old basketball announcer was rumored to have fought with 50 behind the scenes at Jimmy Kimmel's late night show after the rapper's minders failed to recognize him as a fellow guest.
Online reports suggested blows were exchanged - but Albert insists there's no truth to the claims.
He tells the Associated Press, "I couldn't even tell you what the guy looked like or what the security guard looked like."

Major League Baseball says "no" to more instant replay
There apparently will be no expansion of instant replay in baseball in the near future. Jimmy Lee Solomon, MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations, said Tuesday there was no discussion to expand the use of replay in the regular season or postseason at a meeting of the game's general managers.
The call for more extensive use of replay arose following several missed calls by umpires during the recent postseason.
"If the group had any real thoughts on instant replay in regards to more than what we have," Solomon said, "they probably would have discussed it as this meeting."

And you thought you hated YOUR job!
A 29-year-old man who claimed he was attacked and stabbed by three people – skinheads or Hispanic males – confessed Monday night that he stabbed himself because he didn’t want to go to work, Edgewater Police said today.The man, Aaron Siebers, walked into his employer, the Blockbuster Video store at 1921 Sheridan about 6:30 p.m. Monday, and reported the attack. He said the trio was dressed in black.
Siebers, of Denver, had a deep stab wound to the lower leg plus several superficial knife wounds, according to Steve Davis, spokesman for the Edgewater Police Department.
Davis said detectives went to the hospital and interviewed Siebers and also reviewed videos from a nearby Target store, which had numerous surveillance cameras. A review of the cameras showed no attack had taken place near the Target store as Siebers claimed, said Davis.
“If you are going to concoct a story about being stabbed, don’t do it near a Target store,” said Davis.

It's hard to believe this wig fooled anyone
Tennis star Andre Agassi kept a hair-raising secret under his hat throughout his stellar tennis career - his famous 'lion-mane' locks were in fact a wig.The retired athlete and eight-time Grand Slam champion has revealed he donned a toupee during his games after realizing he was losing his hair in his early 20s. The shock confession appears in the star's explosive new autobiography, Open, in which Agassi also admits he was hooked on addictive drug crystal methamphetamine at the height of his career.
Agassi is convinced he could have won more matches if he hadn't gone prematurely bald - because he was so worried his toupee would fall off on the court. And he still blames the anxiety over his fake locks for losing his first Grand Slam final at the French Open in 1990.

Even the Detroit press is against the Lions
Apparently the Detroit Lions are having trouble selling tickets to their home games (go figure), and as a result, many of their games have been blacked out on local television. What to do? Well, the Detroit Free Press has decided to point its readers to an illegal method of watching the games!You should know the drill by now if you want to see the game, considering this is the Lions’ seventh blackout in their past 10 home games…..
Check out www.justin.tv on the Internet. If it doesn’t have the game, fans in its chat room might have links to it.
Now you know where to watch Lions games (not that you'd want to).Thanks, Detroit Free Press!

Tom Cruise: "American Psycho"?
Mary Harron, the director of American Psycho, told BlackBook Magazine about how she developed the character of Patrick Bateman with Christian Bale:"It was definitely a process. We talked a lot, but he was in L.A. and I was in New York. We didn’t actually meet in person a lot, just talked on the phone. We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave.
"And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy."

It took a judge to rule that ringtones are not concerts
A federal judge has dismissed the music industry contention that when a cellphone’s ringtone begins playing, copyright infringement starts happening since others can hear the song, essentially arguing that a mobile phone is a portable concert hall.That argument meant that millions of mobile phone users were copyright scofflaws anytime anyone called them.
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, known as ASCAP, was attempting to wring even more royalties from music lovers, who already pay ringtone royalties when they buy ringtones. Additionally, ASCAP collects royalty payments for public performances of songs from venues as divergent as a summer camp and a stadium.
While ASCAP’s much-ridiculed argument in the case was a legal long shot, copyright chaos might have ensued had the royalty-collecting group actually prevailed.
“The ruling is an important victory for consumers, making it clear that playing music in public, when done without any commercial purpose, does not infringe copyright,” wrote Fred von Lohmann, a copyright attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

He came out of retirement last year to play the final four games with the Patriots after playing 27 games with them in 2006 and 2007.
