Emily Robison has finalized her divorce from Charlie Robison.  They had been married since 1999 and had 3 kids together.  The reason for getting divorced was that, well basically they didn’t like each other anymore.  I feel bad for their kids of course but I can’t help but think: Milf-tastic!

All the dixie chicks are pretty hot.  I am probably a bad person because i can definitely see myself getting with all three of them at the same time though I doubt the three of them think upon it as fondly.  That’s okay, if Emily Robison was in a crappy marriage it’s better that she get ouut.

I’ve seen too many people stay together for the kids but that’s a load of crap.  If you’re miserable then your kids are probably goinng to notice.  What is going to do more psychic damage to them: parents who hate each other or divorced parents.  You shouldn’t stay together for the kids, you should pretend you get along for yourr kids.  If you can’t live together then you can’t live together.

Emily Robison is a key member of the Dixie Chicks.  Of course with only three of them they are all key but I think it must be said that she is important.  The Dixie Chicks have courted controversy in the past, with Natalie Maines assertion that she was ashamed that Bush was from Texas.  It was a lot of bullshit that she received, we have the first amendment after all and she can say whatever she wants.  However, when most of your core audience is a bunch of gun totin red staters you may be impacted commericially for some comments.

Emily Robison is finally out of what sounded like an unhappy marriage.  Of course it was unhappy, it was basically a celebrity marriage and three years is a long time for one of those.  I think Bruce and Demi lasted eleven years and if you convert that to a normal marriage its like 100 years.  Has any celebrity marriage in the last 30 years laster longer than 15 years?  No, probably not.  Thats just the way it goes.  So, to Emily Robison, congrats.  To her kids, my deepest apologies but unfortunantly the chaos is only beginning but you couldn’t help who your parents were.

At least I hope so.  I might actually start watching original recipe CSI again.  Laurence Fishburne movies are awesome.  He was Morpheus.  I loved him in deep Cover.  When he was 17 he lied about his age to be in Apocalypse Now.  The man has balls.

He would be a welcome addition to the show.  Laurence Fishburne movies are always a treat.  He is in talks to play a scientist who’s gentic profile matches that of a serial killer.  He is supposed to replace William Petersen’s character thouggh not his character.

Some people wonder if Fishburne  has the chops to take over CSI.  Are you kidding.  William Petersen coudl not carry Laurence Fishburne’s Jock on his best day.  Sure, he does that creepy thingg really well but he’s like that in everything.  Laurence Fishburne could pull it off in his sleep.

Petersen is the third original cast member to leave, after Jorja Fox and Gary Dourdan left (to be fair, Fox left, came back, and left again).  Luckily Helgenberger’s rack is still on the show, Milf-tastic.  Petersen will stay on as an executive producer and do an occasional guest spot.

From Laurence Fishburne movies to Laurence Fishburne tv, how awesome is that.  I’ll have to fire up the tivo.

I don’t usually watch the good morning america program.  It’s a little too perky for me at 7am.  This morning however, they had Danica McKellar on.  How coculd I not watch?  She’s hot, sort of, and she drives a car real fast.  Ok, to tell the truth, she’s not exactly my type.  But she is the official hotty of godaddy.com where I register all my domains.  So I should at least check out the sponsorship of a service I make a great deal of use of.

I make a lot of use of GoDaddy.com Hosting Plans.  It was my first webhost back when I started out.  On the Good Morning america program Danica did not talk much about Godaddy, most likely because Danica Patrick is the godaddy girl and Danica Mckellar is the hotty from Wonder Years.  Yeahh,, she’s my type of girl.  Smoking hot and into math.  How can I not go for that?  Now I feel kind of stupid for mixing the two of them up but you have to admit, Danica is a weird name and it’s even weirder that there is more than one smoking hot celebrity with it.
The good morning America Program also had on it Javier Bardem from no country for old me.  I don’t think they got the same response to his apperance that they did to Danica’s but I think even Javier can appreciate that.  Given the choice between a smoking hotty and they ugly guy from no country for old me, guess which one I’m goiing with.

Since i brought it up, I will talk a lilttle bit more about Godaddy.com.  I am generally pleased with their domain registration service.  I register all my domains there.  They are World’s Largest Registrar - GoDaddy.com and they have a great service and are always running some kind of coupon deal.  I don’t use their webhosting anymore only because their reseller package is too expensive and that is what I needed.  You can’t have everything in life.
I will probably not watch the good morning america program tommorow.  At 7am I am barely conscious and I have to keep my little girl from killing anyone.  I can’t do deal with perky yet.  But check it out yourself if you want, I am sure someone you want to see will be on.

Have you seen  the disaster movie trailer?  I saw it.  Oh boy, this shit again.  I guess these stupid movies keep making  money.  That has got to be the only reason they keep getting greenlit.  It’s certainly not because they elevate the craft or anything like that.  Who am I kidding, no movie would ever be greenlit because it elevated the craft.  Even the artsiest, fartsiest movie these days would only be greenlit if it was expected to make a lot of money.

Disaster Movie is goinng to suck.  Just like meet the spartans before it, just like date movie, and whatever the hell else movie that has been put out by the disaster Movie crew.  I don’t object to the movie per se though.  Mostly what I object to is that people keep going to see these shitty movies, they keep making money, and they keep making more.  Why, why, why do they do that?

Disaster movie could not possibly inspire the kind of hate that its audence could inspire.  I hate with every fiber of my being the teenage, mouth  breathers who go to see these movies.  And then I hate the producers for making me seem like  a cranky old man.  I’m not old enough to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn but maybe I would be doing the world a favor if I told them to get away from the stupid movie.

Disaster Movie, why not just cut to the chase and call it Stupid Movie.  Stupid Movie, its sequel Stupid Movie 2: Electric Boogaloo,  Stupid Movie 3: The Return of Stupid Movie, the possiblities are endless.  People would still go to see it.  People still was Saturday Night Live and that hasn’t been funny since about 1979 or so.

There is nothing I can do about Disaster Movie other than give it a little bit of a boost in Google Trends in order to trick people into reading about how much I hate it.  Or, I can brring in fellow travelers who wish for the madness to end.  I’m not a film snob but surely we can do better than this.

Blake Lively is returning from Gossip Girl and slipping back into her role as  Bridget Vreeland in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 this week in theaters.  I for one am unimpressed at this attempt to cash in one more time.  First of all, sequels that exist soley to make a producer a couple million more dollars are a waste of time.  Second, I saw the first movie and i thought it sucked.

Ok, so being a male in my late twenties I was not exactly what they had in mind when thinking “Target demographic”  However, sucky is sucky no matter what.  Blake Lively left so little an impression on me that I forgot she was even in it.  In fact, the only one that I even remembered was America Ferrera and that is just because she’s ore my type anyway.

Blake Lively does a passible job on gossip girl but the fact remains that she is a generic, interchangeable bobble headed actress.  There are a couple dozen women just like her making movies and tv today and I doubt I could pick her out of a line up if asked to do so.  I can’t fault her too much though.  She is just who she is, a specific type that is popular in our culture right now.  She fits the type and so the powers that be in hollywood manufactured a star out of her.  She’s probably makingg some pretty decent bank right now so more power to her.  If only I had been born a “type.”  or rather, if only I had been born the right type.

So lets review, Blake Lively, generic bobblehead.  Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2, cynical ploy to make more money.  Do I care about either.  I care enough to write this entry, bitching about it while my baby takes a nap.  Beyond that though, I don’t think I’ll let it bother me for the rest of the week.

Sheryl Crow Jeans, just the thing you need to wear to a Sheryl Crow Concert.  I’m glad Sheryl has found a way to cash in on her fame.  It’s always nice to know that a celebrity will never have to worry about where that next paycheck is coming from although I must say celebrities are far more entertaining when they are having to hustle for that next paycheck (I’m looking at you Gary Coleman).

These Sheryl Crow Jeans are designed to be eco friendly.  They are made with fair trade cotton and denim.  This is good for protecting the rights of exploited people but I fail to see how they are eco friendly or is that also what fair trade does?  Color me out of touch.  I’ve always been more interested in they coffee and chocolate anyway.

I’ve never been to a Sheryl Crow concert.  I imagine it’s about like her music: bland, inoffensive, and uninspiring but she is in her 40’s and still looks pretty hot.  I used to be into her music when I was a teenager and had not heard anything good yet.  I also nursed a stupid crush on her and Sophie B. Hawkins and now I just want to figure out how to play grown up games with the two of them.

Sheryl Crow Jeans will be part of her Bootheel Trading Co. by Sheryl Crow line.  I don’t get what is wrong with just stamping her name on the back pocket of all of them.  Why does she have to pretend that they are anything other than just another attempt to cash in on her fame?  At least all the women in their thirties who are still fans will have something to wear to the next Sheryl Crow Concert they attend.  Come to think of it, I like middle aged women in tight jeans and I wonder why I am not at that concert.
