Tonight FOX brings us American Idol: The Search for a Superstar, from 8:30 - 10 pm. Remember that show- Pop Stars on the WB that brought us the excellent Eden's Crush? It's essentially the same show but this time it's judged by a British guy who apparently is mean to the contestants (I think I saw some bleached blonde faggot in tears in the promo) and judged the British version of the same show.

In addition, I think the commercials said that the home viewers vote for who moves on to the next round. While the show will probably suck, it's fun to see hot teen girls have their dream shattered while they return home to cry, experiment with buliema, and eventually take a box cutter to their veins.

There was a post about O&A and the Eddie the Murderer segment so I wanted to pose this here-- for the listeners of R&F, could the Rory v Al fight to lose their job be a hoax?

Last night, it was wondered by Jon if Al has a back up job he's already ready to leave for.

And after that, all falls into place. Al, the radio "personality," who probably would leave the show if he could has the ability to leave. How do they make it so to help them? Create a HUGE fight. They get listeners, Al leaves with a bang, everybody's happy.

Maybe it's just me but if you listen to Al he's not really that excited about the fight. He talks tough but his heart isn't into the words he speak. He was far more riled and excited and pumped before both Joe AND Earl and in this it's his job on the line as if he's resigning himself to his inevitable fate.

There were other clues I thought of last night which I have forgotten now but if I remember I'll post them in this thread which no one will probably read.

Where would you want to have been born?

I think England would be cool, cause then I'd have a cool Sean Connery accent.

Or maybe Scotland so I'd sound like William Wallace.

If you call a 70+ year old woman a "cunt," do you think that she understands the insult or does she have no idea what calling her a cunt really means?

This has been on AICN for awhile but the more I read it, the more I laugh. It's ridiculous to read what he's come up with and I can't wait to read his X-Men Draft though his original comic idea seems to have more than a few X-meny qualities to it. Didn't we stop writing about wacky things that happen on our birthdays when we entered the fourth grade?

Freddie On Scooby 2, Captain America Possibilities and a Paul Anderson collaboration

we at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.moviehole.net">http://www.moviehole.net</a><!-- w --> caught up with Freddie Prinze Jr on the promotional trail for "Scooby Doo" who had something to say about "Scooby Doo 2" and a couple of superhero related projects he is or would like to get involved in. "Yeah, we all are (signed up for the sequel). I don’t think it’s a big secret. Nobody really knows anything, yeah. Warner Brothers wouldn’t have let us in the movie if we didn’t sign up for like 27 sequels", says Prinze Jr. "I’m fairly confident in their ability. Well, the cartoon has been on since 1969 and is one of the most popular cartoons in the world. And the marketing of the toys and merchandise is unbelievable, so I mean we’ve basically had trailers running for three decades. And so I think we’re going to be okay", he adds. "Probably a question for the writers and producers".

Prinze Jr also made clear he was upset about losing out to Tobey Maguire on "Spider-Man" but is hopeful a "Captain America" movie will be made. "Yeah. I would (do it) – are you kidding? I am a super hero in real life, so".

Prinze has also written a film himself. "It’s a family film. I don’t want to say too much about it ‘cuz it’s kind of – it’s just off center and I think people will be surprised by it", says Prinze Jr, who also wrote a draft of "X Men" at one stage. "I'll Just write it and direct it, but it’s kind of about a family and they start their own little miniature civil war with the business across the street, and it’s crap that we do".

He was also developing a comic. "I still am. I just have to – I can actually do it at any time. They said that it’s cool to do, I just have to get an artist, but I turned it into a television pilot. Also, that was where I started – that’s where I kind of started writing actual screenplays and things like that, and so now I want to sort of – I have a director who wants to be involved. This guy Paul Anderson who directed Resident Evil, wants to direct it, and then once I sell that, then I’d like to release the book and the movie, sort of come out around the same time so I can have as many people read the comics as possible.it’s a bunch of kids who at the same day, on the same time, they’re all born on the same day, March 8, which oddly enough happens to be my birthday. And they all become something. What, they don’t know, is that certain things happen and all of a sudden, the world sort of freaks out. So certain people convince us that this is a disease and it’s something that needs to be contained, whereas others say that this is simply the future. They’re called the templates, and that they’re the templates of what the future of humanity is all going to be, and so it kind of creates tension and this good guy’s name is Dr. Manual Brazen, he’s like a geneticist. He’s the one great pro template and he helps these kids like learn their powers and develop them and use them for good instead of evil and things like that. It’s very standard super hero story but one that I’ve always been fond of and a lot of my friends were interested."

I haven't posted much news stories here lately but here's on I figured I'd post because of his fame and notoriety.
Mob Boss John Gotti Dies at Age 61
Mon Jun 10, 4:25 PM ET
By RICHARD PYLE, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - John Gotti, who swaggered, schemed and murdered his way to the pinnacle of organized crime in America only to be toppled by secret FBI ( news - web sites) tapes and a turncoat mobster's testimony, died at a prison hospital Monday. He was 61.

The U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo., announced the death of the former Mafia boss. Gotti had suffered from throat cancer and had been moved to the prison hospital from the maximum-security federal prison in Marion, Ill.

Once known as the "Dapper Don" for his fine double-breasted suits and confident bearing, and as the "Teflon Don" after a series of acquittals, Gotti was sentenced to life in 1992 for racketeering and six killings. His victims included "Big Paul" Castellano, whom he succeeded as boss of New York's Gambino crime family in 1985.

Gotti reigned for six years as the nation's most high-profile mobster, passing himself off as a plumbing supply salesman while strutting about in $2,000 Brioni suits and sneering at law enforcers who kept trying to put him behind bars. Some crime chroniclers called him the most important gangster since Al Capone, a comparison Gotti did not discourage.

When Gotti finally was convicted by a federal jury in Brooklyn, James Fox, the FBI agent in charge in New York, declared: "The Teflon is gone. The don is covered with Velcro."

In the end, Gotti's leadership of the Gambinos led to the loss of power and money for the crime family, because his high profile attracted so much attention from prosecutors.

His undoing was Salvatore "Sammy Bull" Gravano, his one-time closest confidant and underboss who turned government witness.

When Gotti moved to take over the Gambinos, they were the biggest and most powerful of the city's five Mafia families, with 300-plus "made" members, 2,000 "associates" and fingers in every pie, including the garment district, garbage hauling, construction, extortion and loan sharking.

He took charge by murdering Castellano, who had angered Gotti and others with, among other things, his ban on drug trafficking. By some accounts, Gotti feared Castellano was plotting to eliminate him, so he carried out a pre-emptive strike.

Gotti and Gravano watched from half a block away as a hit squad in matching raincoats ambushed Castellano and his driver outside a Manhattan steakhouse on Dec. 16, 1985. They then cruised brazenly past the scene to make sure the pair were dead.

Gotti's seizure of power made him a criminal celebrity. He appeared on the cover of Time magazine and was glamorized as a gangster the law couldn't bring down.

Already in 1984, he had walked free when he was charged with attacking a motorist over a minor traffic dispute. The alleged victim refused to identify him in court, inspiring a tabloid headline, "I FORGOTTI." In 1987, Gotti beat a federal rap in Brooklyn by bribing a juror, and in 1990, another apparent payoff helped win his acquittal in the attempted murder of a union official.

Embarrassed federal authorities finally made gains through electronic surveillance, planting bugs in Gotti's Manhattan headquarters, his social club and an apartment that Gotti borrowed for private discussions.

In 1990, FBI agents arrested Gotti, Gravano and crony Frank Locascio on charges of racketeering and murder, the key charge being the Castellano rubout.

At pretrial hearings, prosecutors played tapes of Gotti delivering profane, egotistic tirades about "whacking" people and other mob topics. He said a crony was murdered because he "didn't come in when I called."

Weeks before the 1992 trial, Gravano cut a deal and became the star witness.

During the trial, Gotti smirked, preened and feigned boredom as Gravano explained the tapes and admitted his own participation in 19 murders. Prosecutors called him a more important witness than Joe Valachi, who had first exposed La Cosa Nostra in the 1960s.

Given Gotti's record of subverting justice, the jurors were tightly sequestered; even the judge didn't know their names. The jury found Gotti guilty on all 14 counts, including murder, racketeering and tax evasion.

From his underground cell at Marion, Ill., Gotti allegedly continued to control the Gambino family through his youngest son, John Jr., but his power and influence clearly waned. The younger Gotti eventually pleaded guilty to bribery, extortion, gambling and fraud and was sentenced to nearly 6 years.

Gravano, branded a "rat" by Gotti, continued to testify for the government in one mob trial after another. He eventually dropped out of the federal witness program and was indicted anew in Arizona for allegedly running an Ecstasy drug operation.

Gravano pleaded guilty last year to state and federal charges in the Ecstasy sceme and is awaiting sentencing. The federal charges carry 15 years.

John Gotti was born Oct. 27, 1940, one of 13 children of poor immigrant parents from Naples. Gotti quit school at 16 and gravitated to petty crime. His violent ways drew the notice of Gambino family wise guys in his Brooklyn neighborhood in the 1950s.

Within a few years, he was running cargo thefts at Kennedy Airport, for which he served three years. Released in 1972, he killed the murderer of a nephew of boss Carlo Gambino — an act that earned him four more years in prison but helped him climb in mob ranks.

By the early '80s, Castellano had replaced the deceased Carlo Gambino as family boss. And Gotti began attracting the attention of the FBI, which was making increasing use of the new RICO anti-racketeering statute to fight organized crime.

Married in 1960, John Sr. and his wife, the former Victoria DiGiorgio, had four other children — daughters Victoria, a successful romance author, and Angela; and sons Peter and Frank.

In 1980, at 12, Frank was killed by a neighbor's car while riding his minibike. Though ruled blameless by police, the neighbor was abducted weeks later and never seen again. No charges were ever brought.

Looking forward to this tomorrow.

Dangerous Lives Of Alter Boys

The movie doesn't interest me too much, but the soundtrack should kick ass.

What is the stupidest thing you've seen someone do lately?

I saw a dumbass in a mustang lose control of his car on RT. 18 on Friday. Nothing major, just accelerating from a u-turn and spun the car damn-near all the way around. I just laughed and went around him.

I got an email from one of AFDude's friends. Dave got blindsided by a drunk driver. He's in a hospital in Dallas. Here's what I know from the email.

*****DETAILS EDITTED AT THE REQUEST OF A CERTAIN SOMEONE HERE*******

If I hear anything else, I'll let you guys know. Oh and if any of you tools think is some kind of cruel joke on my part, it's not. Unless Dave is fucking with my head, this is serious shit.
