Mariah Carey attended the Capri Film Festival in Italy and instead of wearing her normal body hugging dresses to show off curves she wore jeans and a button down shirt. After looking at that side profile of her, maybe she better off sticking to the revealing dresses? They show off her curves in a much better way than those denims.

Ron Jeremy might the #1 porn star, but in the non-porn world his career is going down, down, down. I thought it was bad when The Hedgehog did the horrible but enjoyable film One Eyed Monster, but that was nothing compared to this Bigralis ad. How many steroetypes can they do in one ad? And how many races, religions and people can they insult in one commercial. The answer is 5, because besides the four men featured, bad acting has to count for something. Seriously not only is it insulting but that acting makes porn stars look good in that department. OK maybe I went too far with that one.
All that is left to say is oy!
Kevin Smith’s next movie was suppose to be called A Couple of Dicks but because the network censors told Warner Bros that they would not run ads for the movie before 9p he changed the title of the movie to Cop Out. After what he went through for Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Warner Bros checked to see if NBC, ABC and CBS would advertise the movie and they said no, so they changed it to something they would air.
Silent Bob was vocal with Entertainment Weekly about how it all went down.
I’m like, “Well what about Inglourious Basterds?†And I guess, because of the spelling, they got away with it. So we were like, “Can we call it A Couple of D.I.C.s?†Because that’s the proper acronym for detectives, Detective In Charge. And [the networks] kicked that back as well. It was the pluralizing of any form of dick, whether it was d-i-c-k or any derivation.
So my feeling was like, it’s an R-rated movie, so who the f— are we talking to anyway before 9 o’clock? Warner Bros’s feeling was like, “Hey man, we have to advertise to the sports audience on Saturday and Sunday and all those sporting events usually take place before 9 p.m. in the evening.†At which point, I was like, “Oh wow, you guys are way smarter than me.â€
I personally think it is bullsh!t that he had to change the title. WTF is wrong with A Couple of Dicks? It spelled like the name and not like the organ that is specific to the people with that name. What is next no character will have the name Dick before 9p? Is that why we haven’t seen Dick Van Dyke or Dick Van Patten on TV recently?
As I said before this is not the first time that Kevin Smith has had an issue with a movie title, he had a lot of problems with his last movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno and he also told the mag how his mom felt about the title, he said she told her son “‘I might go see Zack and Miri, but I would never go see Zack and Miri Make a Porno.’ I feel like Chief Brody in Jaws 2: I’ve seen the shark up close. I ain’t going through that hell again.” Poor Kevin Smith they are trying to bring the man down. I really wonder if Quentin Tarantino tried to market a film called A Couple of Dicks or Zack or Miri Make A Porno if the networks would’ve pulled the ads before 9p because as Smith said they didn’t have a problem with Inglourious Basterds?
Now when it comes to Cop Out when I saw the trailer over the weekend I didn’t realize it was Kevin Smith’s film and I actually was like that looks like a good rental. Now that I know it is his movie, I will totally go see it when it comes on February 26th. His movies always have me in hysterics…well minus that one he blames for kind of ruining his career…Jersey Girl.
Tyra Banks is doing an Oprah Winfrey and quitting her talk show at the end of the season this spring!!! The talk show host told People, “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.†and she added what’s next for her, “My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are.†Tyra told them she wants to spend more time with her newly established film production company and their focus will be to bring more positive images of women on the big screen. Something she said Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey encouraged her to do. Hopefully they also encouraged her to hire all of the employees of the Tyra Banks Show, who will be out of work because of her decision to end her show, to work for her production company? But then again rumor has it she left a lot of her LA workers behind when she moved to NY.
Personally I never got the Tyra thing, whenever I tuned into her show it was all about her and not the guests. But as much as I don’t like her she has a huge following and I guess am not her target audience for it. It will be interesting to see if she can succeed as a movie producer because her reality show America’s Next Top Model keeps losing viewers by the thousands each season.
BTW as much as I won’t miss the show, I will miss some odd things she did for stunts like dressing as a homeless woman or having every woman on the show strip down to their bra and undies except herself. Will you miss her show when she signs off from it this spring?
UPDATE: Now I am wondering if she decided to quit her show because it would free her up to take over Oprah Winfrey’s time slot when she ends her show next year. Not that I think she would get it, but Tyra seems the type who would think she would be the next Oprah.

Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony went to watch the Miami Dolphins, the team that they are part owners of, play a game and their Sunday Day Outing looked more like Saturday Night Fever. The two of them were dressed to the 9s, the ’79s that is. Marc Anthony was in a black leisure suit with the buttons of his shirt half unbuttoned and a necklace shining through, J-Lo was in a body fitting grey jump suit with ruffles on top and a slight bell bottom below the knee. Looking at the two of them walking into the football game, I was waiting to see them boogie down to some KC and the Sunshine Band. Seriously can’t you see those two suffering from Disco Fever?
