Jennifer Aniston has really fallen from grace. Even her own fans are out of words for her latest hook-up. John Meyer? If you though PMBP was bad then you have to see her pics with Mayer, its like mother and son.

LOL. Poor thing.

+++++++++++++++

Yeah…those poor dumb Fanistons. Nobody wants to hear that their favorite celeb has taken up with Jessica Simpson’s leavings.

One thing an X hook-up would tell me about John Mayer - Perez is right, homeboy just needs to give it up and admit he’s gay. Look at the last 3 women he’s publicly hooked up with…

- Jessica Simpson: Frequently revered to as actually being a “Tranny”.

- Cameron Diaz: She herself said physically she can get a little too “manly” if she exercises too much.

- X: Also known as “MANiston” because of her manly features. If not for the velcro perky nips, most people would have thought her character was Richard Green, not Rachel.

Passing Through:

I had to come out of lurking …. you are on a roll tonight! All those posts had me ROTFLMAOPIMP. Typing PIMP reminds that the last post you had, about Rachel/Richard Green, was so super-super funny.

ERR too bad for ange he doesn’t look like that anymore. he’s let himself get moobs and his butt is probably flabby/saggy because it’s so big. only gay men like men with giant butts.

+++++++++++++++++++++

See if you can follow the logic here…

If Brad Pitt has moobs, then you have a brain. Since we all know you don’t have a brain…ergo…Brad Pitt does NOT have moobs.

BTW - Gay men everywhere said it’s because of you that they’re gay.

=====================================================
Haha. good comeback.

I watched the insider tonight, Mayer and X are both famewhores, a mach made in heaven. You can’t look at those pics and tell me they didn’t tip of the paps.

Paul Allen is the co founder of Microsoft with Bill Gates , Partner with Speilberg and co. in Dream work, world # 19 Billionaire, famous philanthropist. . letting Angie and family staying at his villa, he must be a good and close friend of Angie. I thought Angelina does not had friend ??hahahaha……

X taking the left over of Jessica Simpson and Perez Hilton. and just the thought of Miss Pity party being pee by her new boytoy while shouting to the ocean make my day. karma is a ***** ! lalalal…

Superheroes seek box office invincibility

“Iron Man,” which opens across North America on Thursday night, not only kicks off Hollywood’s extended summer movie season, it supercharges what is shaping up as the biggest season ever for comic book-to-film transfers.

“It’s not a fad,” Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige said of the onslaught of movies built around comic book avengers. “It’s the new archetype for the summer blockbuster. Everybody loves special effects, everybody loves epic entertainment, and that’s what comics have been delivering for decades and decades.”

“Iron Man” will be followed by “The Incredible Hulk” and “Wanted” on June 13 and 27, respectively, both from Universal. “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army” unleashes July 11, again from Universal, while “The Dark Knight,” Warner Bros.’ Batman sequel, alights July 18. Lionsgate releases “Punisher: War Zone” September 12.

On July 2, Sony opens its Will Smith-starrer “Hancock,” which is not actually based on an actual comic but does promise to turn superhero conventions on their head with its tale of a depressed, alcoholic, bumbling hero.

It speaks to the vitality of the genre that Hollywood can schedule all these movies in the same time period without fear that they will cannibalize each another. “Iron Man” is a Marvel action movie featuring a man in a super-powered armor, while “Wanted” is an R-rated action movie about a society of super-assassins. “Hulk” is a Marvel monster movie set amid a realistic backdrop, while “Hellboy” aims to take audiences to underground worlds fertilized by Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s imagination. “Dark Knight” is expected to offer another dark, psychological exploration from director Christopher Nolan.

“If they were all about a guy who runs into an alley and changed into a costume or into a phone booth to put on a mask, they would have come and gone in a year or two,” Feige said.

Maintaining a heroic diversity is important to Marvel as it gets ready to greenlight its next films from a slate that ranges from “Ant-Man” (directed by Edgar Wright) to “Thor” (a Norse God adventure from Matthew Vaughn) to the patriotic, flag-waving “Captain America.”

“Because they can be so varied in genre, in rating, in execution, there is a lot of room for them (in the marketplace),” said Donna Langley, president of production at Universal Studios. “But you should be mindful about the competitive landscape. You obviously don’t want to release ‘Superman’ and ‘Spider-Man’ the same day.”

These movies are not slam dunks, by any means. The riskiest among the crop is the Marvel-backed “Hulk,” which has seen a behind-the-scenes drama play out between star Ed Norton and Marvel over competing visions. There is also the hurdle of getting audiences to see a movie that is not a sequel but a relaunch of a film that bombed five years ago.

On the other hand, not all of these flicks are $100 million-plus gambles. Universal has been keen on keeping the budgets on “Hellboy 2″ and “Wanted” in the $80 million range.

Says Langley: “It’s like animated movies — we went from two or three a year to 25 a year. Only so many of them are going to overperfrom, and the others are going to do OK.”

As it ups the superhero ante, Hollywood is still learning is to be mindful of the characters’ fan bases and creators. The comic book fans scrutinize everything from director and actors to costumes to how closely the films follow the source material. Creators, meanwhile, can spout off against any movie that they feel betrays their vision. Alan Moore, for example, never publicly blessed the movies “V for Vendetta” and “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” which were based on his comics.

In the summer, “Wanted” strays from its source material. The original miniseries was, in part, a nihilistic tale of evil super-assassins killing one another as well as the good guys. But because that comic’s fan base isn’t as big as that of Hellboy or Spider-Man, Universal felt comfortable veering from the comic to make it more appealing to a broader-based audience, with a little help from Angelina Jolie. But it also made sure creator Mark Millar was involved, going to him for ideas and using his dialogue for voice-over bits.

“If you deviate from the comic book, do it in concert with the creator so he doesn’t wage an Internet campaign,” Langley said.

While another ironic take on costumed heroes, 1999’s “Mystery Men,” fizzled at the box office, times, audiences and movies have changed, making “Hancock” as close to a sure-bet as you can find at the box office.

So many buzz for Iron Man and negative PR for Hulk.
Uni seems to be overshadowed by Paramount’s PR strategy.
