MTV Video Music Awards 2008

MTV Video Music Awards 2008

Why they chose an obscure British comedian to host the VMAs, I’m not sure? Jamie Fox did better as an awards presenter than Russell Brand did the entire night. Maybe his humor got better as the night went on? I’m guessing not. I wouldn’t know for sure since I fell asleep after the boring first hour. Anyone get a change to see Kanye’s performance at the end?

At least one good thing did come out of the VMAs, and that’s always the pretty young things that strut their stuff on MTV’s red carpet.

Fast and Furious Movie Trailer

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008
Justin Lin is back with another edition of Fast and Furious. The story centers on reuniting Dom Torretto (Vin Diesel) and agent Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) along with vets from the first film (Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez).
Is there an end to the Fast and the Furious franchise? Possibly. Justin Lin is thinking about making one more film before bringing things to a close. Personally, I think Tokyo Drift would have been a great ending to this glorified street racing series.

R. Kelly Not Guilty on All Counts

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

R.Kelly

The Canadian Press is reporting that a Chicago jury has acquitted R&B singer R. Kelly on all counts at his child pornography trial.

The verdict came six years after the R&B superstar was first charged with videotaping himself having sex with a young girl. Prosecutors had said she was as young as 13 at the time. Kelly had faced a maximum 15 years in prison.

Both Kelly and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were the ones appearing on the tape, which was played for the jury at the beginning and end of the trial.

The prosecution’s star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the girl from the video. Defence attorneys argued the man on the tape didn’t have a large mole on his back, as Kelly does.

A large mole? Maybe it was a small mole 10 years ago and it grew. R. Kelly must be so happy that he’s gonna throw a golden shower party for his defense team.
