Get "Dumb" On Vinyl

Dumb & Dumber,Either Or...

Although I was never a huge fan of comedies starring Jim Carrey, for some reason I took a screener home of "Dumb & Dumber" while working at a talent agency. While I still never converted to being a huge Carrey fan I did find "Dumb & Dumber" funny, in a so "Dumb" it's entertaining sort of way...the sequel "Dumb and Dumber To" is on it's way people...

Another great thing about it was it's 90's soundtrack which is out on that ancient artifact known as vinyl the 20th of this month, so get your groove on and get dumb with your bad self!

The soundtrack to the smash hit film "Dumb and Dumber" will be available on vinyl for the first time ever on May 20 via ShopRadioCast. The double gatefold vinyl LP is now available for pre-order here.

The soundtrack features a who's who of 90's-era alt-rock and pop acts such as Crash test Dummies, The Proclaimers, Butthold Surfers, The Primitives, Dee-Lite, plus many others.

"Dumb and Dumber" is an American road-buddy comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. It was written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, and was their directorial debut. The film tells the story of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two good-natured but dimwitted friends from Providence, Rhode Island who set out on a cross-country trip to Aspen, Colorado to return a briefcase full of money to its owner, only to be pursued by a group of criminals who are after the briefcase.

The film was released on December 16, 1994 and developed a cult following in the years since its release.

The success of "Dumb and Dumber" launched the career of the Farrelly Brothers and solidified Carrey's. The film also spawned an animated TV series and a 2003 prequel. A sequel, entitled "Dumb and Dumber To", is slated for a November 2014 release.

Need Anyone Ask Why Kim & Kanye Continually Get Snubbed?!

Kanye & Kim - Enough Said

Kim Kardashian was snubbed by President Obama  last week at Steven Spielberg’s 
Ambassador for Humanity gala. Although the President did mingle with a number of high profile guests, according to Radar Online, when Kim reached out for an introduction, she was rebuffed. 

OK Obama I'm with you on this decision, although Kim supported the President’s re-election, she was not allowed to do anything in a political capacity. Kim’s support is not something serious candidates want, let's all fain shock and surprise. The President has already labeled Kanye West as  “jackass” twice, so maybe this should not be a surprise.

The best surprise is no surprise...you two need to find a hole to hide in the bomb is coming. 

This Weeks Word: Snubbed - and rightfully so. Happy Mothers Day.& no website recommend at this time.

Ellen Degeneres Goes Lesbian For NBC

Elisha Cuthbert

Sixteen years after Ellen Degeneres came out on Ellen another network comedy with a lesbian lead is coming to primetime. 

NBC has given a pilot order to a multi-camera comedy executive produced by DeGeneres. 

The project, titled One Big Happy, is written/exec produced by openly gay comedy scribe Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls). 

In it, a gay (woman) and straight (man) best friends decide to have a baby together, but things get complicated when the man finds the love of their life. 

Um, I was going to say "Holy Will & Grace" but this sounds a whole lot more interesting and progressive. 

Elisha Cuthbert from the classic show 24 and the awful remake of House of Wax (sorry Elisha I like you but, damn, really?!) is set to star in the pilot.

Can  I get a hey now?!

Keep up with Ellen at: http://www.ellentv.com/

You Know Her Name

I am pleased on so many levels to announce that one of my favorite rock icons from the 90's is truly back with an amazing new single and video.

OK, I love (pun intended) Courtney Love, I love Hole too...get with this program and you can be my friend forever. If you don't want to, I'll still like you, but it won't quite be the same.

Not to mention the flip side "Wedding Day."

Courtney is kicking it with her Rock/Alternative roots on  "You Know My Name" this icon/artist/force of nature is truly brilliant and knocks the shit out of way more paler artists today...I'm not calling anyone out on the mediocre scale who is wildly successful for no Mother F#@king reason, Rihanna..

Lay your pimp hand down, and rock out with whatever you want to pop out with Courtney!

Thank you universe that rebel rock is not dead...Can I get an enthusiastic YES!

Trick Or Treat, Beyonce & Jay Z At The Met Gala

Put A Damn Ring On It!

Halloween came early this year, get a load at most of the outfits celebs wore to the Met Gala, there were plenty of fun treats!

There were also some fancy PR tricks. The winner in this game goes to Beyonce and Jay Z, for the most endearing one that was oh so perfectly timed..."Put A Ring On It!"

Beyoncé and Jay Z were the final stars to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City Monday, and the power couple made in their Givenchy Haute Couture were the paparazzi's wet dream.

At one point, one of Beyoncé's Lorraine Schwartz rings slid off her finger and fell onto the ground. Fortunately, her knight in shinning armor, Mr. Jay Z located it — instead of merely handing it back to her, he decided to stage a mock proposal for the cameras.

Ms. Knowles gave an enthusiastic "Yes!"

Next month, Beyoncé and Jay Z will kick off their 16-date On The Run tour. 

You guys win this weeks best PR stunt, as obvious as it was, it was also endearing and clever.
