No Megan Fox in Transformers 3!

It was just announced that Megan Fox will not be returning for Transformers 3. Great news, I found it annoying that Fox thought she was a huge part of the transformers success. Listen I'm here for the robots, the explosions, the vehicles turning into robots, the explosions, the robots, the destruction, and the babes. Which before we forget, it's not like there is a short supply of hot babes for these movies. Check out Isabel Lucas from Transformers 2 below

Weekend Video Substitutions

It's not that I'm not interested in Jennifer, or her body even, I'm just not that captivated by it on the silver screen. Why should I pay my hard earned cash to just watch the body on the screen? Let' not kid ourselves, that's why anybody is going to see this film.  After all, isn't it much easier to watch this video? (no idea why it is in Russian):

You guy's wanted Jennifer's Body, there you have it. And now for the rest of the audience who wants Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, here's some dude named BLAZE and he's going to teach you how to make meatballs, you can supply the clouds, the story, and the 3D.

As for the other releases this weekend, "Love Happens" and "The Informant," well just say I just "informed" you about Megan Fox and Meatballs so if you could cook those meatballs for Megan Fox then maybe "Love would happen." Have a good weekend folks.

How Does The Recession Impact Celebrity Culture

The economy of the United States (and the world) is metaphorically being attacked by robots, aliens, zombies, giant bugs, dinosaurs, giant mutant sharks, vampires, werewolves, and well you get the picture. The reality is that the undoing of our economy is our own fault. We allowed for things to move along without any regulation, and here we are.

So what is the effect on our celebrity culture? None really. In these tough times, it may just add to the scope of it. I feel like people are looking to the make-believe (like Megan Fox, Transformers babe above) as an escape from their real and difficult lives. Evidence of this is the massive box office for 2009. We view celebrities as almost untouchable princes and princesses. Their lives are like windows into a dream world that we wish we could live. Of course the flip side is that we are wickedly happy when they go off the rails. It makes us feel better about our own difficult personal lives .

So far we haven't seen Brad Pitt looking for work on the corner or struggling over his budget. Once that happens, things will be real crazy and we'll need a whole new set of metaphors.
