Stephen Baldwin - Is He Really That Much on the Skids?

So, as the story goes, Stephen Baldwin ran into Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) at the White House back in 2007 (why the heck was Stephen Baldwin at the White House???).  Anyhoo, apparently Miley Cyrus promised him a guest spot on her Hannah Montana show if he got a tattoo tribute to her.  And so he did just that (a tattoo of “H.M”).  And Apparently Baldwin kept up his end of the deal, but it appears, 3 years later and counting, that Miley isn’t true to her word.  Then again, wtf? i mean srsly? Is he really that desperate that he would get a tattoo just to get on her show?  Weird.  Seriously Weird.

Meh - he was always the weird Baldwin, i suppose.  And he always looks like he is permanently high…so maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time…

Apparently Wolverines Are Not Extinct in California

Thought to be extinct from California nearly 100 years ago as a result of the fur trade, (about the same time that our state animal, the Grizzly Bear, was hunted to extinction in the Golden State), this Wolverine was spotted in 2008 roaming around in Tahoe.  Though it has since been determined that it wasn’t a member of some clan of wolverines that has resided in the forest all this time, avoiding detection.  Rather, it comes from somewhere in Idaho - about 800 miles away from either the Sawtooth or Cascade ranges.  Methinks it didn’t travel all that way on its own four paws, but rather, hitched a ride on a semi or in the trunk of a kidnapper’s car who thought it was cute but soon discovered that it is in fact vicious.

Anyhoo, ‘buddy’ the Wolverine is exhibiting behaviors of looking for a mate…posing and marking territory in typical Wolverine mating behaviors.  Soooo, if there are any lonely lasses out there, looking to date a Gulo gulo, aka a wolverine, you know where to find a willing mate….after all, he is the largest member of the weasel family.

Protest Mimes

There’s a protest going down at the Meridien Hotel in the financial district.  And these mimes in attendance make total sense.

No, I would not like a donut - thanks, creepy protest mime!

Light Corn Syrup with Real Vanilla

Why?

I mean, is 32 fluid ounces going to be enough?

See, seeing things like this in the supermarket makes me think twice about accepting when someone offers me a homemade treat.

The Dude Has Never Won an Oscar, and Neither Did Alfred

So, i guess Crazy Heart is supposed to be a good movie…or so i hear. What is more abuzz is that Jeff Bridges, the star of Crazy Heart and who is up for an Oscar this year, has never won an Oscar, despite having been nominated FIVE times in the past (including for “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” and “Starman”)….meh. Yes, yes, i know, the Big Lebowski..great movie…”the dude abides,” etc, etc. But really, although it is a shame that Jeff Bridges has not won an oscar…yet, his past failure to win at the Academy Awards isn’t THAT shocking. Certainly not as shocking as the fact that Alfred Hitchcock NEVER won an Oscar, though he too was nominated 5 times. He directed such bitchin’-ly awesome movies like Psycho and Rear Window, the Birds, Vertigo, etc…
Anyhoo, you get the point….

Jeff Bridges is a great actor- and he hasnt won an Oscar yet. - A shame.

Alfred Hitchcok was an Epic, outstanding Director, and he never won an Oscar. - That is just embarrassing.
