The Dolly Parton Lyrics to Act  Like a Fool

You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?

We are of course referring to the internet here.  Today rumors of Dolly Parton’s death are running rampant.  Who comes up with this shit?  Apparently at a high school football game on friday it was announced “erroneously” that Dolly had died.  Damn kids.  Anyway, by today the rumor was widespread that she had died of congestive heart failure.

Her publicist had to scramble to declare her alive and kicking.  Still, I bet for years after this people will truly believe that Dolly Parton died “a few years ago.”

The other night I was watching Hannah Montana, er, I mean, my daughter was watching Hannah Montana and she was on along with Vicki Lawrence.  This morning, I logged onto my computer and saw that she was dead and I though, well that was spooky.  Alas, the internet had once again made me its bitch.  Luckily we have Dolly Parton Lyrics to help us through the Heartache.

First Bernie Mac and now Isaac Hayes.  It’s been a sad week for the entertainment industry.  Isaac Hayes was the man.  In Shaft Isaac Hayes wrote the soundtrack.  Watch Yo Mouth.  I’m talkin bout shaft here.  I can dig it.  Shaft was an awesome movie.  Richard Roundtree nailed the role and Isaac Hayes’s song lent the perfect atmosphere to the movie.

More recently than Shaft Isaac Hayes was known for being chef on South Park.  Chef was probably the most memorable character in the whole show besides Cartman.  It’s too bad about the way he left though but while on the show he gave and he gave to the pop culture lexicon.  Love Gravy!

Isaac Hayes’ funeral will take place in the city where Hayes first became a well known name, Memphis, Tennessee. On Monday morning and afternoon, Hayes will be laid to rest. Memorial services will officially be held in Cordova, Tennessee, from 11 AM to 2 PM. It will take place at Hope Presbyterian Church at 8500 Walnut Grove.

As Isaac Hayes’ funeral is being set up, the Hayes family has set up areas where fans and well wishers can pay their respects. The Hayes family has asked that donations be sent to the Stax Music Academy in Memphis, in lue of flowers. Hayes had been a tireless supporter of the Stax Music Academy and Stax Records in life.

With the funeral in place and donations set up, one last mystery in the Isaac Hayes death saga is the cause of death. Hayes was found unconscious at his home lying next to his treadmill, and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. Now, although an autopsy is not yet complete, doctors are ready to say that Hayes died of a stroke.

The news has not been made official yet by a medical examiner or by the Memphis health department. However, Hayes’ family physician, Dr. David Kraus, was reported to have filed paperwork that lists Hayes’ death as being caused by a stroke. All that Hayes’ relatives had to say on the subject was that Hayes was under a doctor’s care before his death.

Shelly Malil, see playing Haziz in The 40 Year Old Virgin, was arrested yesterday in San Diego allegedly for stabbing his ex girlfriend over 20 times.

Malil appeared in The 40 Year Old Virgin as well as numerous television roles over the past 13 years.  He appeared in an episode of my favorite show Scrubs for about 10 seconds as a bartender who thinks Turk is Indian.

Malil showed up at to his ex girlfriend’s home in San Marcos where an altercation between the couple took place. The unidentified woman was stabbed an estimated 20 times. Sadly her children were at home at the time of the attack.

Neighbors heard the woman screaming and called police and an ambulance. The woman was reportedly taken to an area hospital where she was listed in critical condition with multiple stab wounds and cuts to her face.

Malil’s family members worked with police investigators to capture the fleeing actor, who boarded a train and reportedly headed to meet with his lawyer. He was apprehended and removed from the train at Oceanside depot on Monday evening after agreeing to surrender. He is being held in the San Mateo Sheriff’s Department jail.

According to TMZ.com the woman’s name is Kendra Bebee.

George Lucas just can’t quit.  Not that I am complaining of course.  Not about this anyway.  It’s just, well he knows dammn well that I can’t help but watch and yet he has interest in even fufilling my expectations.  And so here comes Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  Meh.

I was never a full on Star Wars fanboy.  My brother was though the doctors assure us he is fully recovered.  However, I have always liked the original trilogy.  I had been looking forward to the new trilogy ever since I had first heard the rumors ten years before the Phantom Menace came out.  And then  of course came Jar Jar.  Attack of the Clones wasn’t bad and Revenge of the Sith came close to  redeeming him but they could have just done Revenge of the Sith and everything would have been groovy.

Is there anything in this post that hasn’t already been said in the last ten years though?  Probably not.  And now here comes The Clone Wars to the big screen.  i think its funny that only Christoper Lee and Sam “Motherfucking Snakes” Jackson were asked to voice their characters while Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman either have better things to do or George Lucas is done with them.  Natalie Portman may actually be famous enough that she is too expensive though and also her one asset, her hotness, would not do much good in voice over.

I’ll probably rent this when it comes out on DVD at Christmas.  I like to take advantage of a good sale.
