Are Heath Ledger Costumes a Good Idea?

Whit Honea — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:09:00 GMT

Strollerderby is asking parents how they feel about letting children dress as The Joker from Batman. Obviously the idea is not a new one and has been done for years, but that was before the clown took it up a notch.

This isn't your father's Joker.

The last complete role of Heath Ledger is darker than other versions that preceded it on many levels. Ledger died during the process, which makes it somewhat creepy to begin with, but the fact that the role reached such heights- or depths as the case may be, puts The Joker in some pretty scary company. Sure, the character is fictional, but basically you're looking at Ted Bundy in a purple suit.

This won't be an issue for us as my boys haven't seen the latest Batman film (and won't for years), but even if the TV ads were to pull them in I'd have to use my power of veto on this decision. They can be something sweet and innocent, like Dracula.

Michael Madsen Goes Berserk in London Hotel with Wife, Daughter

Reservoir Dogs star Michael Madsen checked into the Dorchester, a London hotel, with his wife and 5 year old daughter. Soon after, police were called to the posh hotel after reports of screaming were made by other hotel guests.

The Sun reports:

“He was apparently totally out of it when he turned up. Then on Sunday afternoon there was a massive disturbance in his room.

“A guest complained that all hell was breaking lose. There was a lot of screaming and shouting and staff called the police. He had a furious row with his woman companion and it was feared they might hurt each other. An ambulance was called because of concerns for his mental health.

“Madsen looked wild-eyed and had lost the plot. He was not violent, but there were serious concerns about his behaviour.”

A Met Police spokesman said no arrests were made and no further action would be taken.

Three-times wed Madsen has five sons and has been married to Deanna Morgan since 1996.

His major movies include Thelma and Louise, Free Willy, and Die Another Day.

He was in London making The Big I Am – filming for which ended on Saturday.

A spokeswoman for Madsen said: “We are aware there was an incident in London, but we have no comment to make.”

How weird. No mention of what happened with the little girl, who was my first concern.

Angelina Jolie Vows Revenge

Jack Black better watch his back. Angelina Jolie may have laughed off his slip of tongue, but when the cameras stopped the claws came out.

According to reporter Natalie Morales, "When I switched off the tape, Angelina said: 'I'll get Jack, don't you worry.' She wasn't angry at all, really calm.

"She said, 'What do you know about Jack? It's hard to get revenge because he's so out there. He has no secrets!'"

Oh, it's on. Too bad, I'll miss Jack Black. He was funny.

The tape in question.

Brad and Angelina Argue Over Baby Names

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 May 2008 20:20:00 GMT

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not seeing eye to eye on something that is pretty important. Baby names.

Apparently Angie wants to name the babies Castor and Pollox which I'm told are the twins from her birth sign, Gemini.

Brad, always thinking, doesn't want a name that rhymes with a curse word, that being pastor.

Oh, wait, this just in, bollocks. The curse word is bollocks, which is English for bollocks. It means what you think it means.

I'm going to have to side with Brad on this one. The press would have a field day if one of their kids sounded like balls. In the meantime, I think I know where Brad can find two other twins to bounce some names off (obligatory boob joke).

Britney Spears Vs. Kevin Federline: Lufti is Getting Violent

Whit Honea — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 12:18:00 GMT

You've got to be kidding me. According to Gossip Girls, Kevin Federline's lawyer has some guy named Aaron Cohen, a former counter-terror commando in the Israeli army, doing his dirty work. He's the one serving subpoenas and probably getting coffee. He was rammed in his car by Sam Osama Lufti, who Cohen was on his way to serve. Apparently Lufti recognized Cohen and decided to off the guy.

Doesn't Lufti realize it's just a subpoena? It's not like Cohen is coming to tie cement blocks to his feet.

Lufti's relationship to Britney is unclear, but whatever he's doing he's passionate about it, the crazy ass.
