There Is Nothing New Under the Hollywood Sun

Be Kind, Rewind starring Jack Black and Mos Def and directed by the magical Michel Gondry is a movie that I really want to see.
In case you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s the trailer

Looks really good and really original, right?
I actually remember last night as I was watching a commercial for it I remarked to the boy that at least there is still some creativity in the Industry.
From The Amanda Show, 8 years ago

Whoops.
Obviously Amanda Bynes is the only real genius and creative force left in Hollywood…I’m glad good ol’ fashioned internet investigative journalism was on the case

But with all that being said I still feel “Be Kind, Rewind” will be “Better (Much Better)” (said in a vaguely Greek accent)

[UPDATE: here is the "Be Kind, Rewind" trailer-sweded! Starring Michel Gondry

Yoinked Out of The Closet

so remember Jason Rae, that 21 year old college kid from Marquette who also happens to be a superdelegate?
Remember how he's gay and it seemed like that was common knowledge?
Yeah, well about that...apparently in an interview with The Advocate Jason said that "I have not yet come out to my parents…I’ve been waiting for the right moment, and now just might happen to be that right moment."
Yeah it probably is a good time after bloggers like me (with a huge assist from the Big Lead) did that whole outing thing, reporting what we thought was no secret and as I'm sure proud parents would do yours probably scoured the internet for news.
Whoopsie- Sorry about that.
But I'm sure they already knew, even if they haven't said anything, I mean he did work at the Victory Fund, which after a minimal amount of googling you can learn is a group that "Provides financial and campaign support to gay and lesbian political candidates", oh and Gay and Lesbian is in its title. They've just been waiting for you
and also not to be stereotypical or whatever but as soon as I heard you talk in this video

my gaydar started shooting rainbows and playing Scissor Sisters...I'm just saying

This Must’ve Been Embarrassing

I think a name change may be in order

Poor Chip Maxham, probably now understands all too well what Ronnie McGorvey went through.
Hopefully though some overzealous parents don't chip off his block

Whoopsie!

Oh No, Poor guy. This must be every musician’s worst fear

From The Independent

As a former child prodigy blessed with chiselled good looks, they called him the David Beckham of the classical violin. Now he is more likely to be known as the lad with the broken Strad.

David Garrett, 26, one of the nation's foremost young concert performers, had an accident that every world-class musician must dread: at the end of a concert at the Barbican he tripped and landed on his violin.

The instrument is a 290-year-old Stradivarius, so rare that it would be almost impossible to estimate its value. Certainly there are people who would have gladly paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for it, before its glamorous owner did a turn as Mr Bean.

Now he has a badly damaged violin that will be out of use for at least eight months, and may never sound the same again. He is also facing a £60,000 repair bill.

The accident threatened to leave the musician without a suitable instrument to play tomorrow night, when he is due back at the Barbican to perform Bruch's Violin Concerto . But help has come from J&A Beare, the violin dealers of Marylebone, who have arranged to have another Stradivarius flown in from Milan to be loaned to Garrett. The instrument, made in 1718, will be accompanied by a three-man security team watching over Garrett's every step.

Later, he moved to New York to study, supplementing his student grant by modelling.

"I was all packed up and ready to go when I slipped," Garrett told the Evening Standard. "People said it was as if I'd trodden on a banana skin. I fell down a flight of steps and on to the case. When I opened it, the violin was in pieces. I couldn't speak and I couldn't get up. I didn't even know if I was hurt – I didn't care. I've had that violin for eight years. It was like losing a friend."

The violin, known by its sobriquet San Lorenzo, is one of about 600 surviving instruments made by Antonio Stradivari. In May 2006, the Hammer Stradivarius made in 1707 sold at Christie's in New York for £1.8m, a record for a musical instrument at auction, while the previous year the Royal Academy of Music bought the Viotti violin for £3.5m.

And what makes it worse is that he’s hot. It’s always sadder when misfortune befalls those who are hot.

But a boy like that would make me swoon- I love the violin and if someone that gorgeous were able to play it that well? Sigh, I need some chocolate
