AT-AT Wedding Cake

Awesome, albeit nerdy, cake.

So, this wedding cake (made by pastry chef Teresa Ulrich) comes complete with Ewok Cupcakes!  But why Admiral Ackbar and  Mon Mothma?  The pair were certainly spotted together on the bridge of a rebel Destroyer in ROTJ, but were they ever on Hoth?  Then again, i don’t think the furry little yub-nub loving ewoks were ever on the ice planet either.  Bah! details…

Still, do the bride and groom really identify with those two?  Why not Han and Leia?  Jabba and Salacious CrumbBib Fortuna?  Threepio and artoo?  Just sayin…seems like an odd choice for bride and groom miniatures.  Leia and Wicket the Ewok makes more sense.  Pretty awesome, nonetheless.

G W Bush Wipes Hand on Clinton

comedy - go see 15 seconds into the video…and see george bush wipe his hand on clinton after shaking hands with a local Haitian

Whether you loathe or love GHWBush - aka POTUS 43 - you have to admire how smooth and ballsy he is in this epic move of  hand wiping on POTUS 42 - William Jefferson Clinton

Of course, there is the whole angle that some left wing techies actually doctored the video so it looks like he is wiping (by slowing the wipe part down and speeding up the shoulder pat), when in fact he was merely patting Clinton on the shoulder a couple of times to signal him to move along. Check it out on the BBC website at 50 seconds.

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…

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.

Candid From the set of ROTJ: Princess Leia Sunbathing on Tatooine

Leia and her Stunt-double taking a break from filming.

Looks like the platform deck of Jabba’s Barge.
