A woman brought her monkey to Walmart, but the owner left her in the camper as she shopped in the Lancaster, Ohio store on Sunday night. Somehow the monkey got out of the vehicle and a Walmart employee was able to grab the animal’s leash so it wouldn’t get hit by a car or get too far away. At that exact moment, the scared owner came running out of the store and yelled to him, “Let her go, let her go, let her go! If she bites you, they will put her down.” Then she told the employee who was trying to help her buddy, “I am not mad at you.” You can see she was visibly shaken in the video taken by Richelle Stewart and was trying to protect both of them so nothing horrible would happen.
Then woman then walked back to the camper with the monkey hand in hand and drove away. The employee was OK, not bitten, and has an interesting story to tell all of his friends.
How come when I go to Walmart, nothing like that ever happens. Nothing even remotely close!
Back in the ’90s, Friends was the biggest show on television and all of the actors were household names. So big, Hollywood tried to turn the small screen stars into big screen ones and for almost of them it failed. But that didn’t stop the studios from offering some of them pictures deals.
Case in point, David Schwimmer starred in the huge dud Pallbearer with Gwyneth Paltrow, but before it came out Miramax thought it was going to be huge. So huge, they offered him a 3 picture deal. He told The Hollywood Reporter that he negotiated a deal with them where he would direct his first feature and all of his friends from his Chicago Theater Company would star in it. A year after he bombed in Pallbearer, it was time to direct Since You’ve Been Gone, but Miramax asked him to star in Men in Black. He didn’t want to disappoint his friends, who turned out work to be in movie, so he declined the role that eventually went Will Smith.
Take a minute to soak that in.
Now imagine what the movie would’ve been like with Ross playing Agent J. We never would’ve gotten Men In Black II which was Smith’s last good movie. And we also probably would not have gotten some of the Smith’s more recent pieces of crap.
Wait now I am trying to think how this is a bad thing that he turned down the role in Men In Black. Maybe it could’ve been a good thing because there is no way the film would’ve been as successful with him as the lead and it would’ve saved us from a lot of Smith’s recent failures. Someone try to convince me he made the right choice for us.
I should say, his reason for turning down the role is very honorable. His friends should thank him every time they talk to him because he sacrificed a lot for them.
It is Tuesday and we all have the blahs. Do you want something that will bring a huge smile to your face, one as big as when you order the Grand Slam at Denny’s? Here it is.
The other day when Dick Van Dyke and his A Capella group, The Vantastix, were eating at the diner after a television performance, they broke into song. Singing the theme song from his classic movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Delighting not only the patrons, but everyone who watches this video.
Just saying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang makes you happy, but seeing the 90 year old singing it with his quartet, gives you enough happiness to last through the rest of the week. Anytime you are feeling down, just hit play and you will be all Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
If you live in LA, then you can them singing this Sunday at Cerrittos Center for the Performing Arts. If you don’t live in LA or have plans on Sunday, then you can buy their album to experience their joyful tunes whenever you want.
Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould play brother and sister on Modern Family, but she gave him a kiss that didn’t look so sisterly. Does that mean the two of them have something to tell us? From this photo, it looks she is saying yes while he is saying no. The one guy is his age group who would be saying that. But then again, even though they are not really siblings, still ewww. It is like when you found out Dexter married his sister in real life. You know it was OK for Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter to do it, but it still seemed really gross.
