Selena Gomez is Disney’s Creepiest Animatronic of the Day

I don’t know what Selena Gomez was originally designed to be, I am assuming the live action Dora the Explorer, I mean it is an internationally huge fucking brand, and it’d be worth investing the 100 millions of dollars in creating the AI version, especially if you can put in out there in the meantime and make it make movies and produce songs…because when your AI makes money, you make the money… What I am saying is, there’s no way that Selena Gomez is a real person..that face is all Muppet…her position in the world…so artifical…her paparazzi pics with her new boyfriend, some possibly gay, she’s into the possibly gay, swimwear sales men, who I’m sure is rich..because even AI bitches love rich dudes.. Hollywood is bullshit, but it is not all bad, but sometimes there are people who are everything wrong with the industry..and that person is Selena Gomez..but at least her dress is easy to clean up after you cum all over it, or piss on her, a feature the Disney engineers programmed into her, because why not make you’re AI a urinal if you can…Nerds love Secret features..

#LifeComesAtYouFast: GOP Staffer Resigns Following Disgusting Comments About Sasha And Malia Obama

Bye beyotch!!! Elizabeth Lauten Resigns Following Comments About Sasha And Malia Obama A GOP staffer will resign after launching a verbal assault on Malia and Sasha Obama in the wake of their appearance at the president’s annual turkey pardoning ceremony last week at the White House. Via MSNBC reports: Elizabeth Lauten, who served as a communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.), criticized the two girls in a Facebook rant which eventually went viral. “Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. And certainly don’t make faces during televised, public events,” wrote Lauten. She also said that the Obama daughters, who largely stay out of the limelight, should show “a little class.” Many have argued Malia and Sasha were behaving like typical teenagers at the event. They appeared unamused by their father’s corny jokes and at one point Malia declined to pet the Thanksgiving turkey by simply saying, “Nah.” Lauten has since apologized for her post, admitting, “When I first posted on Facebook I reacted to an article and I quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager.” Lauten’s name became a trending topic amid the controversy, with over 22,000 mentions in 24 hours. She had previously been responsible for a gaffe this summer when she accidentally tweeted about “shagging” on Fincher’s official Twitter account. Now, her resignation is “in the works.” This is far from the first time the president’s daughters have been singled out for ridicule on the right. In 2010, during the BP oil spill crisis, Glenn Beck mocked Malia for reportedly asking President Obama about the clean-up. “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” said Beck, imitating the president’s daughter. “Ask ‘Daddy’ why he ‘hates black people so much.’ ” The conservative radio host also mocked Malia’s intelligence, saying: “That’s the level of their education, that they’re coming to — they’re coming to Daddy and saying, ‘Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?’ “ In 2012, when the president cited Malia and Sasha as influential in his decision to embrace gay marriage, Bristol Palin, the daughter of ex-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, attacked them in a widely criticized blog post. “I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox,” Palin wrote. That same year right wing firebrand Ann Coulter declared: “Maybe it’s time to start imitating liberals in another way and go after the Obama children.” Last year, following President Obama‘s statement that he would support the selling of Plan B, a birth control product, to girls as young as 15, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros speculated about the sex life of Malia, who was 14 years old at the time. “Are they gonna put her on birth control? Because he’s very concerned with contraceptives and pharmaceuticals that are going in the mouths of everybody else’s 15-year-old daughter,” Tantaros said, according to Media Matters. Do you think the out of pocket GOP staffer should have resigned for her comments??

Hide Ya Kids!!! Fifth Grade Freakazoid Teacher Senetenced To 10-Years For Assaulting Her 12-Year-Old Student!

What the hell?? According to the San Antonio-Express News , she had numerous encounters with the boy …and thankfully, his Dad caught her and pressed charges: A longtime elementary school teacher whose repeated sexual encounters with a 12-year-old student came to light following a high-speed chase in which she let the boy drive her SUV was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison. Lucinda Rodriguez Caldwell, 41, choked back sobs as she was placed in handcuffs after asking state District Judge Lori Valenzuela for probation. Although the judge denied the request, she did retain jurisdiction of the case, leaving open the possibility that Caldwell could be released from prison on shock probation sometime in the next six months. “I just want to say that I’m sorry for what I did and I apologize to the court, to (the child) and his family, and to my family,” Caldwell said through tears during the brief sentencing hearing. “I have lost so much because of what I did, and I ask the court to let me stay with my family and take care of my children,” she said. Caldwell had been an educator for 16 years and was teaching fifth grade at Cable Elementary in the Northside Independent School District when she was arrested in July 2010 after the boy’s father took him to police to report the sexual assaults. Earlier that morning, at about 3 a.m., the father had recognized the teacher’s Ford Explorer outside his house after realizing that his son wasn’t home, court documents state. The SUV sped off and the father pursued in his own vehicle for about 30 miles before both vehicles were pulled over in Hondo. The traffic officer didn’t make an immediate arrest but returned the boy to his father and advised him to contact the San Antonio Police Department, according to court documents. Caldwell reached a plea agreement in October in which she agreed to plead no contest to indecency with child by exposure — a third-degree felony — instead of aggravated sexual assault of a child, which could have resulted in a sentence of up to life. Both sides also agreed to a 10-year sentence, with the stipulation that prosecutors would remain silent as Caldwell asked the judge to let her serve the term on probation. In addition, Caldwell agreed to surrender her teaching certificate. Neither Caldwell’s accuser nor his family attended the hearing. “We felt like we had a good case, but the family was worried about putting the young boy through the emotional ordeal of a trial,” First Assistant District Attorney Cliff Herberg said of the plea agreement. “We wanted to be respectful of the family’s desires.” After the allegations were revealed, the boy appeared to withdraw from friends and family, prosecutors said they were told by the family. Although the boy has since made progress, his father feared that testifying at a trial would cause setbacks, according to Adriana Biggs, chief of the white-collar-crimes division. Since the arrest, Caldwell and her two children have moved to Eagle Pass. Her husband testified on her behalf Tuesday, suggesting that her “exemplary record” as a teacher prior to the incident provided a more accurate portrayal of who she is. “She was by all accounts a very good, dedicated teacher,” added defense attorney John Carroll. “The public humiliation and shame has been very difficult for her to deal with.” She’s got some dayum nerve asking the Judge for fawking probation!

Mirror Images: 9 More Occasions When Hollywood Made Similar Movies at the Same Time

This weekend welcomes Snow White and the Huntsman to theaters, mere months after Relativity’s Mirror, Mirror preceded Universal’s Kristen Stewart film in the race to produce live-action versions of the fairy tale that Disney animators arguably perfected decades ago. And odd as it is to behold this practice of two serpents eating the other’s tail, stranger still is the thought of a studio executive ensconced in a corner office, slamming his fist down on the old-growth polished conference table, and bellowing to the suits, “Dammit! Where in the hell is OUR Snow White script!?!?!” Yet variations on this scenario are not so unique in Hollywood. Many of the actions surrounding these productions — wrestling over promotions, insistence of originality, chess games played with release dates — have played out for generations. Find below some of the more notable occasions when studio execs didn’t let redundancy stop them from flashing the green light: 1964 – The Cold Shoulder War: Dr. Strangelove (Jan.) / Fail-Safe (Sept.) With the Cold War at its peak, it came as little surprise that movies of the time might reflect the American public’s fear, dread and paranoia. But these competing efforts bore many similarities for such wide, ripe terrain: Each had a major young director at the helm, a cast choked with stars, and a storyline about a rogue mission that may spark a global conflict. Stanley Kubrick’s ambitious Strangelove , based on the book Red Alert , took shape as a satirical indictment of the geopolitical climate. Sidney Lumet’s Fail-Safe , meanwhile, sporting more of a spartan stage setting and relying on close-ups, hewed closer to the tense spirit of its own eponymous source novel. Many people found them more than similar — and for good reason. Result: While both are hailed as classics, Strangelove stole much of Fail-Safe ‘s thunder both culturally and financially — a predicament made all the more curious since Columbia released both films. (Kubrick reportedly lobbied the studio to release his movie first.) And despite Kubrick and co-writer Terry Southern’s comic vision of his novel, Red Alert author Peter George sued the studio over Fail-Safe , accusing it of plagiarism because of the similarities in the stories. 1989 – Paw Enforcement: K-9 (April) / Turner & Hooch (July) Studio experts must have test-marketed for — and found — results showing audiences salivating at the prospect of comedies with cops involuntarily partnered with a four-legged ride-along. How else to explain these mirrored attempts at mirth? The cops are given one-note characters (Jim Belushi is a loose-cannon loner, Tom Hanks a fastidious short-timer) simply to make the dog’s entrance more compelling; both films even have scenes of the hound destroying the interior of the beleaguered officer’s car. Result : Neither did blockbuster numbers, but considering the low-concept redundancy, returns of $43 million for K-9 and $71 million for Turner & Hooch are nothing to bark at. 1989 – Plunging Returns: Deepstar Six (Jan.) / Leviathan (Mar.) / The Abyss (Aug.) Was there something in the Hollywood water supply in 1989? Because executives sure had water on the brain that year, when audiences were actually given three identical deep-sea stories within an eight-month period. (To say nothing of straight-to-video efforts like The Rift and Endless Descent .) Incidentally, Deepstar was written by Lewis Abernathy, a pal of James Cameron’s who was later cast in Titanic as the wisecracking best friend of Bill Paxton’s character. In between their shared visions, MGM released its own deep-sea-alien hybrid film directed by George P. Cosmatos, ( Rambo, Cobra ), creating a viewing experience that almost produces the bends. Result : The Abyss earned a paltry (by Cameron standards, anyway) $54 million, but it holds up far better than its lower-budget counterparts ( Leviathan even dispensed with underwater photography; they shot in what is described as a “dry-wet” look), neither approached $10 million at the box office. Bonus points to Fox marketing for its poster touting The Abyss as “summer’s most original adventure.” 1992 – Non-Event on the Horizon: Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (Aug.) / 1492: Conquest of Paradise (Oct.) The 500th anniversary of Columbus finding America was deemed ripe for the plucking of historical events surrounding the explorer. Big names were used, sweeping epic visuals were displayed, and colons were inserted into the titles. Yet strangely, a subject that had long amounted to a cornerstone of many Americans’ primary education was passed over by audiences of all ages. Result : Both productions sported budgets well over $40 million both films drew the same paltry sum domestically, around $8 million. 1997 – Blowing Their Tops: Dante’s Peak (February) / Volcano (April) At one point in history, a tremor of excitement ran through Hollywood suggesting that volcanic eruptions would be next big thing. Universal gave us Dante’s Peak , a thriller with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton loosely based on the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. Just a couple of months later came the 20th Century Fox version with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche, a more traditional disaster film with large sets, a large cast and a large departure from reality as an eruption threatens Los Angeles. Given the lack of explosive imagery in Volcano audiences soon wondered why it had not been simply titled Lava instead. Result : Although, of the pair, only Volcano enjoyed a No. 1 opening at the domestic box office, Dante’s Peak far outgrossed the later effort with a global take of $178 million. 1998 – You Bet Your Asteroid: Deep Impact (May) / Armageddon (July) The prospect of our planet getting sucker-punched by a supernal rock form is the kind of disaster that carries the ultimate pathos: We are doomed, and there is nothing we can do about it. Unless you are Michael Bay, that is, because you’ll just send oil-rig roughnecks into space to blow up the flying rock. Or unless you’re Morgan Freeman, who, as the President in Deep Impact , collaborates with Russia to nuke the lethal comet. Crises averted? In one summer audiences were served up competing disaster films of similar size and scale, and who would have guessed there was an appetite for this sort of scientific chicanery? Result : Both movies were hits, combining for more than $900 million at the worldwide box office. 1998 – Colony Thinking: Antz (Oct.) / A Bug’s Life (Nov.) In the first real showdown between the established Pixar and the fledgling DreamWorks animation wing, ex-Disney boss Jeffrey Katzenberg claimed he was pitched the idea for Antz four years prior to his exit. Tension arrived when Pixar head John Lasseter said Katzenberg requested that Bug’s Life move its release date so as not to compete against DreamWorks’ animated title Prince of Egypt . When Lasseter declined, Antz had its release date changed from March ’99 to just over a month before Bug’s Life . Result : The bitterness did not hurt the box office: A Bug’s Life drew $363 million worldwide — more than twice Antz ‘s global take of $171 million, yet both still proving milestones for both studios the viability computer animation. 2000 – Fourth Rock from Profitability: Mission to Mars (Mar.) / Red Planet (Nov.) Talk about a studio not learning a lesson: While everyone is now familiar with the failure of John Carter , that release actually makes for the third time Disney has released a failed movie set on Mars – and all in the month of March (including Mars Needs Moms in March, 2011). Originally intended as a Gore Verbinski production, Mission to Mars wound up in the hands of Brian DePalma. Meanwhile, later in the year, Val Kilmer headed another mission to space — one said to be such a factual challenge to science that NASA backed away from assisting the production. Result : Both titles experienced critical and commercial difficulty, with Mission to Mars barely breaking even and Red Planet bombing spectacularly with a global total of just $33 million. 2006 – Sleight of Script: The Illusionist (Aug.) / The Prestige (Oct.) Odd to think that studios would gravitate towards similar stories centered upon turn of the century magicians. Odder still that both would be critically favored and find strong audience reception. Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan actually spent years adapting the screenplay of The Prestige from Christopher Priest’s novel of the same name, finally immersing himself in production for Warner Bros. following the success of his superhero reboot Batman Begins . Neil Burger’s The Illusionist , meanwhile, debuted at Sundance in 2006, trickling out ahead of The Prestige in limited release. Result : Both movies were warmly embraced critically and commercially and even nabbed nominations for their respective cinematographers Dick Pope and Wally Pfister. Neat trick, that.

Mariah Carey Celebrates Obama Announcement at Gay Nightclub

It’s safe to say that Mariah Carey and Bristol Palin reacted very differently to Barack Obama announcing his support of gay marriage this week. But while the daughter of a failed Vice Presidential candidate went public with wayward insults of Obama as a father , Glee and Dora the Explorer , Mariah simply went out and partied! Witnesses say Carey showed up at The Abbey Food and Bar in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, dancing the evening away at the gay nightclub with pal B. Scott. “She was very nice and gracious,” an onlooker at the establishment tells People , adding that the deejay recognized her after awhile and started to play some Mariah classics. At this, the ladies simply went “crazy” on the dance floor. Sort of like how Bristol went at Obama’s announcement, only not at all.

Anna Faris Basically Wants to Play Tara Reid

“If you show a woman’s mammary glands, if it’s done poorly, it instantly takes away from the comedic element of the scene. It’s too jarring. But [my husband] Chris [Pratt] and I were pitching around a character, a Hollywood-mess character on the red carpet at the opening of a movie. She’s talking to these journalists and she’s wasted. One boob is completely out, and she’s talking on and on, like, [Faris slurs] ‘I’m so excited to be here.’ If you held it long enough and kept it going, just the one boob, it would be so funny.” [ BlackBook ]

James Cameron Reaches, Tweets From Ocean’s Deepest Point

In a milestone of human civilization right up there with landing on the moon and eating 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes , James Cameron reached the deepest point on the planet on Sunday — the Mariana Trench, nearly seven miles below the surface of the Pacific. Naturally, upon reaching bottom, he did what any record-setting blockbuster deep-sea diver would do: Tweeted. Just arrived at the ocean’s deepest pt. Hitting bottom never felt so good. Can’t wait to share what I’m seeing w/ you @ DeepChallenge — James Cameron (@JimCameron) March 25, 2012 Back from trip to deepest pl on Earth – #oceans hadal zone.Puts a new spin on “to hell and back”. Good to see the sunshine. #deepseachallenge — James Cameron (@JimCameron) March 26, 2012 It wasn’t all good, according to a report today from Cameron’s partners at National Geographic: The expedition was designed so that Cameron could spend up to six hours collecting samples and video at the bottom of the trench. But his mission was cut short due in part to a hydraulic fluid leak that coated the window of the sub’s “pilot sphere,” obscuring his view. “I lost hydraulics toward the latter part of dive, and I was unable to use the manipulator arm,” Cameron said this morning Considering the daunting task of sending humans into the deep, such technical glitches are to be expected, Cameron emphasized: “It’s a prototype vehicle, so it’s gonna take time to iron out the bugs.” And even with the hydraulic leak obscuring the explorer’s vision, word has it that the ocean floor looked better than Titanic 3D .

Christopher Columbus Face-Off: Who Has Had the Greater Impact on Film?

It’s the second Monday in October and you know what that means — it’s Columbus Day, the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s 1492 arrival in the Americas. But let’s not forget, approximately 500 years after the Italian explorer set foot in the New World, a young filmmaker also named Christopher Columbus pioneered a new world of family comedy with hits like The Goonies , Home Alone , Mrs. Doubtfire and the Harry Potter franchise. In honor of today’s holiday, Movieline wonders which Christopher Columbus had the bigger impact on cinema — the navigator who brought attention to the mass of land that would eventually encompass the U.S. center of filmmaking and provide setting for millions of films — or the filmmaker who established some of our most nostalgic family films ( Adventures in Babysitting included) as well as three Harry Potter movies. Let’s investigate below!

Video emerges of Taliban stoning a woman to death in Pakistan

WARNING: The video above is graphic, and beyond disturbing. It is footage of a woman dying under a barrage of stones. But it must be exposed: This is Sharia. This is an act Muhammad approved of and participated in, according to canonical Islamic sources including Sahih (“sound,” “reliable”) Bukhari. This is Islam's “justice,” “compassion,” and “mercy” which apologists will not repudiate, attempting to dodge the issue by assuring the uninformed (and maybe even trying to make themselves believe) that it is not an issue because it is not prescribed in the Qur'an itself. Click here for why that does not make a difference to the Muslims who have continued the practice over the centuries. And what was this woman's crime? Here is the back story. “Rare Video Shows Taliban Allegedly Stoning Woman to Death in Pakistan,” by Megan Chuchmach for ABC News, September 24: 'A rare video reportedly smuggled out of northwest Pakistan allegedly shows a woman being stoned to death by Taliban militants in the upper region of Orakzai. Al Aan, a Dubai-based pan-Arab television channel that focuses on women's issues, said it had obtained cellphone footage that it says shows a woman being executed because she was seen out with a man. The killing reportedly took place two months ago and was smuggled out by a Taliban member who attended the stoning, according to Al Aan. ABC News could not independently confirm the cellphone video's authenticity. The video, which seems to show a woman tethered to the ground as a group of men throw stones at her, is so graphic that ABC News cannot show it in its entirety. Parts of it air today on the 25th episode of “Brian Ross Investigates.” “It's difficult to know where and when it was shot,” says Gayle Lemmon, deputy director of the Women and Foreign Policy Program at the Council of Foreign Relations, in an interview with Ross, “It is consistent with videos that have been coming from Taliban-controlled areas since the '90s.” Lemmon says that when women “stray outside the line” in Taliban-controlled areas, they may “face severe punishment.” “Women are respected as carriers of the family honor,” says Lemmon, “but they also pay the price.”… Gee, what a great system: be “honored” or be killed! The ABC link has its own video, including a mostly dismal interview with Lemmon, who hedges on whether this has anything to do with Islam.' But we know better. added by: crystalman
