Heute für die Nachtschicht die "Bat out of Hell" rausgekramt. Am 31. Oktober soll ja Teil 3 erscheinen. Das Reremake sozusagen. Hier mal bei der Official Website oder bei Wiki und den starken Männern geguckt. Der Typ ist ganz lustig, aber nicht so wahnsinnig spannend.

Und? Seid Ihr auch schon aufgeregt wegen der "30 Jahre Rocky Horror Picture Show-Party" im Puff Eures Vertrauens? Ich geh wieder als Meat Loaf, soviel ist schon mal klar!

Good idea for a cartoon!

"Think what he's given to the world. Knight Rider. Baywatch. The reunification of East and West Germany. Untold laughter from forwarded e-mails of him in hotpants.

He's given a lot. It's time we gave something back.

The Hoff's having a hard time. He's split from his wife. He needs a lift.

Let's help him out with something that would mean the world to him. Something that would repay all the goodness he's given us over the years. A glittering prize that thus far eludes him.

A top spot in the UK music charts."

Let's get Hoff to Number One.

Dudes, loosen up! Jason has the funniest MySpace-friend ever: MURRY WILSON, the father of Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. Please go there and listen to the recording of the RHONDA-session! This is the funniest shit I heard this week!

Schleicht jetzt mal schnell in die Entzugsklinik und alle Hohlbirnen werden sagen, och, der arme Mel Gibson, der ist ja auch irgendwie krank. Sein Holocaust-Projekt kann er sich aber wohl abschminken....

From Hollywood.com: "Mel Gibson's planned mini-series about the Holocaust may be axed by TV network ABC after his alleged drunken anti-Semitic outburst at a Los Angeles police officer... Now his nonfiction TV movie Flory, charting the true story of a Dutch Jew named Flory Van Beek and her non-Jewish boyfriend who sheltered her from the Nazis, is in jeopardy.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper is urging The Passion of the Christ producer to drop the "inappropriate" TV program and it is believed some Jewish film executives have pledged never to work with the actor again.

An ABC spokeswoman says only, "It's in development, but not very far in. It's not at the point where you would make those determinations."

She is married to Tony Blair, the present British Prime Minister. And she will regret working on German/english-books called "Idiome" in her past. Because Tom found out and he just sent all the files to "Private Eye". This is going to be so much fun.

From a story at CBC: "An estimated half million women are trafficked annually for the purpose of sexual slavery. They are "exported" to over 50 countries including Britain, Italy, Japan, Germany, Israel, Turkey, China, Kosovo, Canada and the United States. Misunderstood and widely tolerated, sex trafficking has become a multi- billion dollar underground industry.

According to the International Herald Tribune, human trafficking is the fastest growing form of organized crime in Eastern Europe. Kidnapped and/or lured by those who prey on their dreams, their poverty, and their naiveté, Eastern European women are trafficked to foreign lands -- often with falsified visas -- where they become modern day sex slaves."

From a story at Shoutwire: "Perhaps the most shocking detail of sexual trafficking is how far it reaches across the globe. (...) Typically, this entails complex transactions and transfer of ownership across international borders. The prevalence of these crimes makes sexual trafficking a multi-billion dollar black market.

Sadly, traffic commonly spans from Eastern Europe and Asia and flows into Italy, France, Germany, Britain, Canada, and the United States. It is a crime that knows no shame and apparently, no boundaries. Why isn’t more being done to address this issue?"

Sex Slaves (documentary from PBS, check out the excerpt): "An undercover journey deep into the world of sex trafficking, following one man determined to rescue his wife -- kidnapped and sold into the global sex trade."

What I'm listening to: ...And It's Deep Too! The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992) (Rhino) Nine cds! This will keep me busy for a while. So fucking good! Richard Pryor was a genius.

E! ONLINE : "After George failed to show up for a Friday court date, a Manhattan judge issued a warrant for his arrest. However, Judge Anthony Ferrara said that he's not going to order any action to be taken until after a June 26 hearing on whether the former Culture Club singer violated the terms of a sentence he's serving for filing a false police report."

"Item: Flying a hat first class Cost: $1,700 Poised to play a charity show for Iraqis with Luciano Pavarotti in 2003, Bono realised he’d forgotten his favourite trilby, so he arranged to have it flown from London to Italy by British Airways. Amid fears it might get squashed, lost or stolen, the hat was upgraded from its first-class seat and got to ride up front with the captain."

“Lee Raymond, the chief executive of Exxon Mobil, has bowed out from the oil giant with a $400m pay and retirement deal that has caused outrage among environmentalists. In his 12 years at the top of the company, Exxon has pumped an estimated six billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere and has led the opposition to action on climate change”.

Raymond “funnelled $19m of Exxon’s money to groups that question the science of global warming. His package of pension and perks includes a bodyguard, a car and driver, and use of a company jet, plus a $1m-a-year deal to stay on as a consultant”.

"On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he be made a 'Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. The events leading up to and after the meeting are detailed in the documentation and photographs included here, which include Presley's handwritten letter, memoranda from Nixon staff and aides, and the thank-you note from Nixon for the gifts (including a Colt 45 pistol and family photos) that Presley brought with him to the Oval Office."
