Indiana Jones, Munn, Pimped Out, Britney, and Scientology

Indiana Jones Trailer Date - It has been officially confirmed that the first Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull teaser trailer will premiere on February 15th with The Spiderwick Chronicles. The trailer will be 1 minute 43 seconds in length.

Olivia Munn Pics - The Attack of the Show host and just general knock-out has scored the cover Complex magazine with some outstanding pics. Follow the links to see more. Probably not work safe though.

Chelsea Clinton Pimped Out - Apparently MSNBC commentator made a boo-boo by asking "Doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?" This resulted in the Clinton campaign threatening to bow out of an upcoming debate (therefore costing the network ad revenue) so they in turn suspended Shuster. To me it’s a valid question. Also it is a good indication of why the media just ape each other now. Other then competition, it creates safety in numbers. Personally I think MSNBC made a mistake by kow-towing to the Clintons. If they don't want their daughter attacked, then she shouldn't be on the front lines campaigning. I voted for Clinton but stunts like this make me doubt my choice.

Tragedy of Britney Spears - Rolling Stone has published a story of the fall of Britney Spears in a pretty blunt manner that makes for a fascinating read. Its probably one of the few stories I have read that doesn't take an "ah poor thing" approach to her. I am a little tired of the sympathy she gets, especially since she doesn't to deserve it. This course of destruction was done all by her lonesome. She is an adult who is making adult decisions and therefore forced to live with the consequences. She complains about the paparazzi while dating them and inviting them on rides. She lets them know where she will be and when. She constantly demands attention and then complains about it. She wants to be miserable, fine but can't she leave the rest of the world out of it. She just needs to go back to Louisiana, find a house in the words and work her shit out in the privacy of her home and keep it in her family.

Scientology Speech - The more I read and see about Scientology, the nuttier it and those involved become to me. I am not a fan of organized religions but this cult is just crazy. Listen to the speech, its like listening to Star Trek techno babble, only this babble can cause harm. I like how they take credit for stories in the paper that they had little to do with. Most where FDA released a report about antidepressants and of course the media talked about it. This is one story, rewritten and distributed across the media landscape, much like a viral video, and they are taking credit for every location it appears in. It would be like me taking credit for the popularity of the "I F$@@ed Matt Damon" video because all these websites happened to talk about it around the same time I did. Even more amusing is acting like this grand campaign to sell books it’s a new concept. It is very difficult to take this cult seriously.
