You know how sometimes when you meet somebody, you immediately think to yourself “these are my people”? That’s how we felt when we stumbled across Horror Boobs , a New York-based blog that documents all things terrifying and topless from the VHS era to today. Horror Boobs masterminds Matt Desiderio and Katrina Basilio are passionate about both boobs and blood, and our interview was a regular love fest as we discussed SKINtage scream queens, being traumatized by The Toxic Avenger , and the holy grail of horror VHS.

Shooting Spree Suspects Wanted To ‘Purify The White Race’ Shameless race-related incidents seems to be at an all-time high right now… A young couple accused of killing four people in a multistate crime spree last fall have been indicted of federal racketeering charges alleging the rampage was part of a campaign to “purify” and “preserve” the white race, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, said Friday. A federal grand jury handed up the indictment Thursday against David “Joey” Pedersen, 32, and Holly Ann Grigsby, 25, prosecutor Amanda Marshall said in a news release. Grigsby will be arraigned Monday in Seattle. Pedersen’s arraignment in Portland hasn’t been scheduled. “The indictment in this case alleges horrendous crimes were committed as part of defendants’ white-supremacist campaign to kidnap and murder targets on the basis of race, color, religion and perceived ‘degenerate’ conduct,” Marshall said. They are charged in the killing, kidnapping and robbery of four people last fall: Pedersen’s father, David “Red” Pedersen, and stepmother, Leslie “DeeDee” Pedersen, on Sept. 26 in Everett, Wash.; Cody Myers, a 19-year-old from Oregon on Oct. 1; and Reginald Clark, 53 of Eureka, Calif., on Oct. 3. Clark was black and Grigsby allegedly told investigators that Myers, a Christian, was killed because his name sounded Jewish. SMH. Hopefully the justice system will prevail for these families who l ost their loved ones to such senseless crimes . Source
In what may be one of the most inspired cross-promotion deals of the year, Deadline reports that Warner Bros. and WWE Studios will team up to produce a Scooby-Doo animated feature in which the Mystery Inc. team investigates strange goings-on at Wrestlemania. (Now, that’s a loaded premise.) WWE personalities Triple H, John Cena, Kane , The Miz and WWE CEO Vince McMahon will be among those lending their voices to the production, and it occurred to me that not only will their cartoonish on-air personalities lend themselves well to animation,. but that a number of the classic Scooby-Doo villains would make memorable WWE Wrestlers. Tell me that the Phantom Puppeteer was not a proto-Undertaker, or that Big Show and the Wax Phantom are not brothers from another mother. With that in mind, I invite you Scooby lovers out there to choose which classic Scooby-Doo,Where Are You! villain below would make the best WWE Wrestler. If you’re one of those meddling-kid types who thinks the best choice is not on the list, leave him or her in the comments section. Take Our Poll Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

Appearances can be deceiving, and as audiences learn in Friday’s testosterone-fueled sequel The Expendables 2 , even Dolph Lundgren ‘s volatile Gunnar Jensen has a few surprising secrets to share. Such as: In addition to being a habitual alcoholic and reformed-but-unpredictable member of the squad, Gunnar’s revealed to be a chemical engineering savant and former Fulbright scholar — elements cheekily borrowed from Lundgren’s real life. Long before the veteran of Rocky IV , Red Scorpion , Universal Soldier and, yes, Masters of the Universe earned his reputation as an imposing fixture in the ’80s and ’90s action realm, Lundgren was a decorated student who followed his economist-engineer father into the sciences and earned a master’s degree in chemical engineering. A chance meeting with singer Grace Jones sparked his Hollywood aspirations; shortly after making his debut in A View To A Kill , 1985’s Rocky IV and the memorable Russian boxer Ivan Drago marked Lundgren’s big break, catapulting him to fame alongside fellow icons stars Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger (who team up to defeat the dastardly Jean-Claude Van Damme in Expendables 2 ). As the golden age of the beefy, brawny action star waned, however, Lundgren turned increasingly to direct-to-DVD fare, but these days Lundgren is content with how things turned out: “I got married, had two kids, brought them up in Europe, got divorced, came back here again, and the kids are okay — they didn’t become victims of Hollywood or anything, so that feels good too.” Later this year the 54-year-old actor (who also writes, produces, and directs) will follow Expendables 2 with another high profile return to his roots, of sorts, in the 3-D sequel Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning . And while the bulk of his upcoming slate remains firmly in action territory, Lundgren’s turn in Jonas Akerlund’s indie Small Apartments marks another surprise move from the erstwhile Ivan Drago. Read on as Lundgren discusses his evolving image, how art imitates life in The Expendables 2 , his mixed feelings about notorious bomb Masters of the Universe (and its forthcoming live-action remake), and why he left a career in science behind for acting in the first place. In this sequel we learn that Gunnar is a oneime Fullbright scholar and has an advanced degree in chemical engineering, as you do in real life. When Sly first suggested writing elements of your life and background into Expendables 2 , what was your reaction? I laughed, you know, I thought it was funny. Only Stallone could think of stuff like that! I mean, I couldn’t have thought of it. I would have thought, “Nah, that’s too on the nose.” I would have thought of something fictitious, but he’s clever because he knows that people are interested in that, ‘cause he’s probably heard people ask me in press conferences, “Well, aren’t you like a chemical engineer or something?” So he brought that into the movie. How did people first react when they found out about your scholarly background? Did it take a while for people to realize it? It’s still not out there. It’ll come out a little bit with this film. But you know, when you do cinema it’s such a strong medium, it overshadows your real personality. If you play a very nice guy, lover, hero on screen but you’re an asshole in real life, it takes a long time for that to overshadow your screen persona; it maybe never will. In my case it may be a bit of the opposite — I play this brutal kind of one-dimensional, two-dimensional character so if you have other things in your real life it’s gonna take a while [to come out]. It’s just happened very quickly the last couple years that people are starting to catch on to it. Thanks to the internet. The internet, people read up on it. It’s such a hard climate now. Very few people would have time in their lives [to study] and have to go for acting straight away that to spend seven, eight years in academia would be a waste. You have one of those legendary Hollywood discovery stories. Looking back, do you feel like you sort of fell into acting? Fell into acting, well I did. I acted when I was younger but then my dad was an engineer so I started doing engineering and then I kind of fell back into it. I think a lot of it was because I had unresolved issues from when I was a kid and I wanted to be in something where you can emote, rather than just shaking test tubes and looking at dials. Not so much emoting in the sciences, is there? Not so much emoting in science, none. [Laughs] Just discussion, but it’s fun. I miss a little bit of it when you’re discussing intellectual matters. I don’t suppose there was much of that happening on this set? Not that much, but if you’re directing — I directed smaller movies — it’s a bit more like that, because you’re talking to the technical people. You’re talking to the composer and the editor and you have to be multitasking a little more. Roger Ebert once described your Universal Soldier character as a thankless kind of role for an actor. Ivan Drago, on the other hand, might have been one of your best. What do you think? I think Ivan Drago was a great character because he was a victim. I think that of all those characters I did earlier were kind of brutal and didn’t say anything, but [Ivan] was kind of the best because he was very charismatic and people cared about him. If you take, for instance, Clubber Lang in Rocky III , it was interesting but you have no sympathy for him. He was someone who just got beat, and you just felt great. Good for Rocky, he kicked that guy’s ass. But with Ivan Drago I think some people felt, “Awww, poor guy. They just used him, he’s actually not such a bad guy!” It wasn’t his fault! Have you felt over the years more interest from your fans to see more dimension in the characters you play? Yeah I think so, you feel that. But I always didn’t push it cause I know you can’t push it, and it wasn’t like I was dying to show it and my life would be nothing if I couldn’t show people who I really was. But now it’s happening on its own and it feels pretty good. I caught your performance in Jonas Akerlund’s Small Apartments , for example. Small Apartments was crazy, like a zany like Jerry Lewis type of a thing… Are you tempted to branch out more in that kind of way, with more daring or unexpected indie material and iconoclast directors? Yeah, I have some other ones I’ve done that are not out yet. There’s one I’m doing this fall called Without You I’m Nothing which is a drama about a girl who comes to L.A. to become a stripper. It’s written by the lead actress and there’s a good role in that, kind of like a crime boss, but he’s an interesting, mercurial type of a guy. So that’s dramatic, there’s no action. I don’t kill anybody. When you look back on your career and the ups and downs you’ve had over the years, what’s your perspective on where you’ve ended up and how you’ve gotten here? I feel pretty good about where I am now. In my way I feel like it’s a new beginning somehow, I don’t feel burnt out. I don’t feel like people know me. I feel like I’ve managed to keep sort of a mystery so that even though I haven’t accomplished what a lot of people have accomplished at my age, I still feel like it wouldn’t have worked for me because I wasn’t mature enough to handle it. Now I feel more ready to do other things so I’m pretty excited about the future. I’m glad the path went in that direction because also I got married, had two kids, brought them up in Europe, got divorced, came back here again, the kids are okay they didn’t become victims of Hollywood or anything, so that feels good too. Your life story would make quite the interesting biopic… Well I hope I’m still like halfway through it! Finding someone to play that role, that’s a tough one. It’s been announced that they’re moving forward with the remake of Masters of the Universe . What are your memories from making the original, and given that it notoriously flopped are yours fond memories of that project? There are some semi-fond memories because I had just done Rocky IV and became very well known worldwide, even though I didn’t know what that meant and it was very hard for me to deal with it. [ Masters of the Universe ] was my next picture after being the Russian bad guy. I was now kind of the American hero and it was like, “Whoa okay, let me see now how do I do this.” And I broke up with Grace [Jones] at that time, my girlfriend, so it was a hard time for me. My manager — I had to fire a bunch of people that were stealing from me. So it was a good memory in one way, on a professional level, because it was a fun movie and it’s one of the few movies my kids have seen because they’re small and it’s like a PG kids movie. But on a personal level I remember I was a little bit unhappy in life and other stuff. What advice would you give the people who are making the Masters of the Universe reboot ? Gosh, I don’t know. I thought about that for a second when I read it. Which way are they going to take it — superhero, really violent, CGI-driven? Or if they’re going to do more of a kids thing like Wizard of Oz , sweeter, I don’t know… Would you go back and turn in a cameo if they asked? [Laughs] If I’m gonna do anything in that movie, I’m gonna keep my shirt on . Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine says President Barack Obama somehow “staged” the recent Colorado shooting as part of a conspiracy to ban guns. Seriously. In comments that may put even Ted Nugent to shame, Dave suggested that Obama was behind the massacre perpetrated by James Holmes … and a lot more. At a Tuesday, August 7 performance in Singapore, Mustaine told the crowd, “Back in my country, my president … he’s trying to pass a gun ban.” “So he’s staging all of these murders, like the ‘Fast And Furious’ thing down at the border … Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there … and the beautiful people at the [Wisconsin Sikh temple].” The rocker continued, “I don’t know where I’m gonna live if America keeps going the way it’s going because it looks like it’s turning into Nazi America.” One major hole in Mustaine’s “theory” (besides basic facts): Obama has not made any push for gun control in the wake of these tragedies. In any case, Mustaine is not a big Obama fan. He endorsed Rick Santorum for the GOP nomination this spring, and has been part of the “birther” crusade. In an interview with Alex Jones (below), Dave wondered why no one has tried to impeach Obama, “With all of the proof about his birth certificate being fake.” “And you see the signs in Kenya that say ‘the birthplace of Barack Obama.’ Hello?! C’mon, guys. How stupid are we right now?” A very good question, Dave. One that’s left us speechless.
George Edwards, a Scottish sailor who has spent the last 26 years searching for the Loch Ness Monster, claims he has the best photo ever of “Nessie.” This may be true, though it’s not saying a whole lot. Edwards takes his boat, “Nessie Hunter,” out onto Loch Ness nearly every day, often with tourists who hope to see the creature for themselves. In November of last year, he took this photo : Early one morning in November of last year, “I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and immediately grabbed my camera,” Edwards said. “I happened to get a good picture of one of them.” The photo Edwards took shows what he says is the back of one of the Loch Ness monsters. Yes … one of them. He says there can’t be just one. “It was first seen in 565 AD,” he said. “Nothing can live that long. It’s more likely that there are a number of monsters, offspring of the original.” Loch Ness, a massive body of water in Northern Scotland, is narrowly connected to the sea at one end, meaning the monster(s) could theoretically come and go. Capturing the photo at the end of last year “felt good,” Edwards said, “because it reinforced my beliefs, and might help convince other people.” The picture, which he waited to release until he ruled out “every other possibility,” “clearly shows something that could only be the [Loch Ness Monster].” As motivated as ever, the 60-year-old Edwards says he will continue searching for more evidence of the creature “until they put me in the ground.” Loch Ness Monster: Real or mythical?

My name is Courtney and I am 13 years old. My Bieber experience started on June 18, 2012. The day before, I heard that if you buy the Girlfriend perfume package at Macy’s in New York City, you get tickets to Justin’s secret concert that night . The next morning I went to school and then when I got home, my mom and I drove to pick up my cousin. Then we went to the train station and headed to NYC. Finally when we got to Penn Station, we ran to Macy’s and bought Girlfriend. We were so lucky because there was only 50 packages left! Gianna and I were so excited because we never saw Justin on concert before and we couldn’t get tickets to the Believe Tour. I also heard there was a Believe CD signing at J&R Music Store the next day and they were giving out wristbands that day if you pre-ordered Believe so of course we went. When we finally got to J&R we ran downstairs to pre-order the CD and we got our bracelets! Gianna and I were freaking out because WE WERE GOING TO MEET JUSTIN DREW BIEBER THE NEXT DAY! After that we went to the concert and it was amazing even though it was extremely hot in the Apollo and the power went out. Justin sang about 10 songs including OLLG that he sang to little Avalanna. It was the cutest thing on earth! The next day I had another final exam so I had to go to school before we went to the city. During the whole test I kept zoning out and thinking about meeting Justin. I was so excited! After school we went to pick up Gianna again and then went to the train. We got to J&R at about 2:45 and we were almost last on line! The people said it would be about a 3 hour wait but it was worth it! At 5:00 we were finally getting close to the front of the line! At one point everyone on the other side of the street that was on line started screaming so we looked around to see what was going on. It turned out to be that Ryan Good was walking past the line to go to Starbucks that was down the street! I couldn’t believe I saw him! When we got to that side of the street he walked back to the music store! He was so close to me, I could almost touch him! When we finally got inside the store I was really freaking out! We got up to the table and I put my CD down. Kenny was sitting down beside Justin. Gianna and I told Justin we loved him and he smiled at us! It was so amazing! After a few seconds we had to leave to keep the line moving. I couldn’t believe I just met Justin Drew Bieber!!!! After the signing, we went to Time Square near MTV because he was performing there next. We met other people we know there and waited for Justin to hopefully come outside. We were waiting there then all of the sudden Moshe walked pasted us! Of course we all followed him and he went into a sunglass store. My friends went inside and got his autograph but I went back to where we were waiting. After a few hours we were walking down the street and then we saw Dan Kanter and Scrappy! There was a bunch of fans surrounding them and asking for pictures and autographs. He almost left but I asked him for a picture really quickly and he took a picture with me! I was freaking out!!!!!! After a few hours we saw Justin left in a car with black tinted windows so I didn’t see his face but at least I met him that morning! I went home after that and I could hardly sleep that night! Thank you Justin! I never thought this would ever happen to me! It was one of the best days of my life! -@BeingABelieberr See more here: My name is Courtney and I am 13 years old.

People can be so cruel.. Tia Mowry Responds To Internet Comments Calling Her Young Son ‘Ugly’ Mommy-banger Tia Mowry has decided to clap back at mean comments made about her young son’s looks. Tia Mowry has gone into protective mother-mode after comments calling her son, Cree, “ugly” went viral. The former Game actress hit back at the cruel jibes circulating the internet through her facebook page, saying: “It’s disgusting that some focus on looks. I brought a beautiful child into this world,” she said. Tia also uploaded an adorable photo of herself and her son in an oh-so-cute fireman’s outfit. The actress shares one-year-old Cree with husband Cory Hardrict and admitted that she departed from her hit BET show earlier this year so she could spend more time with her family and pursue other ventures. Not too long ago, little Blue Ivy was being criticized for her looks, and now it’s baby Cree on the chopping block. Should celebrity babies be off-limits from inappropriate comments? Or does their parents’ high-profile lifestyle make them fair game? Source Images via Facebook
