At Home in Hespeler

All the fluffy news about those nutty celebrities

The James Bond franchise will continue, after it was announced the next instalment in the classic franchise will go forth, with a Nov 9, 2012 release date. Daniel Craig will return as the super spy for the third time. It will be directed by the former Mr. Kate Winslet, Sam Mendes and Michael Sheen is being talked about for the villian, a reincarnated blofeld.

It looked for a while like the Bond franchise was finished, as Craig almost fulfilled prophesy and ruined the iconic brand with his petulant boy spy variation on the suave, sophisticated super spy. Fortunately, the franchise is stronger than one bad lead, and now that parent MGM is returning to financial health, the 23rd Bond movie looks like a go.

Now about that Bond girl…

If it seems to you radio ain’t what it used to be, evidence that you are right: Britney Spears new song “Hold it Against Me,” broke a new record for most radio plays in one day upon it’s release Monday. In other words, according to the morons who run the radio you listen too, Britney Spears Hole it Against Me is among the greatest songs.

Radio: just another medium who’s end can’t come soon enough.

Greatest song ever or not, the Bellamy Brothers are claiming it’s not the most original song. It is, claim the Bellamy’s, a little close to they’re 1979 hit, If I said You Had Beautiful Body.

While they songs may resemble each other lyrically, it need to be said that The Bellamy Brothers never induced the flush reflex quite the same way as the new Spears floater does.

David Nelson (1936-2011)

David Nelson was a University student when he convinced his mom and dad, Ozzy and Harriet Nelson, to let him join their successful TV show. His younger brother, Ricky, was already a teen star due to the show. He played a fictional version of himself in the show, as did the rest of his family.

David died this week of complication from Colon Cancer. He was the last surviving cast member from the long running Ozzy and Harriet Show.

David Nelson was 74. May he Rest in Peace

The latest entry into the Bond fare, Cry Like a Baby starring Daniel Craig has been put on hold due to financial disaster at parent company MGM.

MGM studios is for sale, and with a $3.7B debt, unable to continue as is. This has caused EON Productions, which make the Bond movies, to halt “indefinitely” the making of the next Bond film, tentatively called Bond 23. The movie was scheduled for a 2011 or 2012 release.

Headline in a newspaper this week:

European Airlines hoping for ash hole to fly through.

I can’t be the only person who thought, “finally, a natural disaster in which Sean Penn will be useful.”

Newsflash: Sandra Bullock this week was spotted shopping, without her wedding ring

Her husband has been caught fooling around with what might be the skankiest skank in all of skank-ville, and it’s news she isn’t wearing her wedding ring? Not in prison for killing the stupid bastard, that’s news. The wedding thing ring is up there with McDonalds makes a hamburger.

While on the subject of Sandra Bullock, she has been asked to return her Razzy for worst actress, which she good naturedly accepted the Saturday before the Oscars. The Razzy she took home was a one-off highly valuable trophy. The winners get a replica to take home, instead of the original. Bullock accidentally left with the good one, and her people offered to return it immediately upon hearing the story that she had the wrong one.

Want to know why America loves Sandra Bullock, look at how she has handled the entire Razzy award episode.

Former Poison singer and current reality TV guy Brett Michaels was rushed to hospital Friday with a brain hemorrhage. Michaels is in critical condition after being rushed to the hospital with a headache. The doctors discovered bleeding at the base of the brain stem.

Michaels had an emergency appendectomy last week after complaining of stomach pains. Next week he is anticipated to have leg pains, resulting in hip replacement surgery.

Michaels is expected to make a full recovery.
