So when I read that Vin Diesel released a single, I was totally prepared to be like this is the worst transition from acting to music since Eddie Murphy.
However, then I pressed play, and I didn’t hate it. Granted, it could be because it is so over-produced by Kygo, you barely hear him singing. Just like Party All the Time, it is surprisingly catchy. Yet, not catchy enough for me to want to listen to whatever other music he releases. What do you think of it?
You know that stupid banana that that “artist” hung on a wall with duct tape? Well, it inspired Vin Diesel. He put one a towel over his crotch and it is the first thing he has done that I liked since he did my high school alum’s (Ben Younger) movie Boiler Room. So we are going back a long while.
The first trailer is out for Bloodshot. The movie stars Vin Diesel as a soldier who is turned into an indestructible machine. While that has been done before, this one has a twist. They are manipulating his memories to have him kill their targets. What will he do when he finds that out? That is what we will find out on February 21st, when the movie based on Kevin VanHook, Don Perlin and Bob Layton’s popular comic book, comes out.
Dick Flicks are not normally my thing, but I want to see it because of how f*cked up it is that mess with his memories. That and it really looks bad a$$.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer might be 90, but that does not mean she is too old to go to a concert. Yesterday, the sex Guru went to see Marc Anthony sing and she shared a sweet story from the performance. She said, “Some nice gentleman helped me stand on a chair so I got a great view.” That was the first man to be attracted to her.
After the show, she posed in a photo with the singer and Vin Diesel. Two men, who were also drawn to her. Can you blame them, she is the most vibrant 90-year-old out there. Who doesn’t love the woman who knows all about lovemaking and doesn’t mind sharing her vast knowledge on the topic? I am sure she gave them some tips about how to use their tips.
Did you know that Vin Diesel was not the original choice for Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious? Originally, they wanted Timothy Olyphant to play the lead role, but he turned it down.
Yesterday, when he was on Watch What Happens Live, a caller wanted to know if he regretted turning down the part. But first Andy Cohen wanted to know why he decided not to do the movie. The actor said, “I just thought well this will just be stupid.” Then he added, “And I thought that no one is going to want to see this movie eight or nine different times. I mean by the third or fourth sequel people are definitely going to get bored of it.” As we know, he was wrong because they have released eight movies with a spinoff and ninth movie in the works. Hey, we all make mistakes, just some make much costlier mistake.
Talking about turning down roles, did you know Drew Barrymore, Olyphant’s Santa Clarita costar, turned down Showgirls. Although she claims it was a mutual decision between her and the director Paul Verhoeven. That turned out to be a smart decision on her part.
The best part of them turning down those movies, is we get to watch them Santa Clarita Diet that starts streaming its second season tonight on Netflix.
