You might remember Sam Jones III aka Clark’s best friend Pete Ross from the first 3 seasons of Smallville. Well, it looks like Pete may not be returning to the show anytime soon!
Jones was arrested this morning when cops discovered he was part of a drug conspiracy, dealing out more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone. DEA agents took the actor into custody and reported Jones to be a “co-conspirator” in several major drug deals that occurred in 2008. Federal court documents revealed Jones to be a “Hollywood connection”, which allowed him to illegally purchase and distribute the oxycodone.
Sam Jones III has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and will be due in L.A. federal court later today. The actor could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Ouch!
Somebody SAVE ME!!! Looks like Clark’s not coming to save your ass this time around, Petey. You’ve gone too far!
In case you are still wondering whether actor Jeff Goldblum has passed away, we’re still not sure…neither is Goldblum himself. Last week as Michael Jackson left us, Twitter and Facebook feeds were updated with another piece of tragic news – Actor Jeff Goldblum had fallen to his death while filming a movie in New Zealand. The New Zealand police had even confirmed that the news was true.
Whether the actor has really passed or not, we do have a response from talk show host Stephen Colbert…and Jeff Goldblum.
Apparently not, folks. According to the New York Daily News, John Stamos who played Uncle Jesse in the 80s-90s TV sitcom revealed that he’s in the process of developing the concept for a big-screen version of “Full House”. Stamos is quoted with the following:
“I’m working on a movie idea, but it wouldn’t be us playing us. I’m not 100% sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years”
Does this mean he’s looking into a reimagining/remake of the show starring a new cast? Wow. If this movie does come into fruition into a box-office feature, hell will certainly have frozen over and pigs will finally sprout wings…
We’ve also found this interesting video of the show’s pilot intro, which features John Posey playing Danny Tanner instead of Bob Saget. How trippy is this?
This past Wednesday night, millions of viewers witnessed one of the most surprising outcomes that has ever happened on “American Idol”. With constantly mesmerizing performances by neo-goth rocker Adam Lambert and continuous veneration by the judges, it came with little doubt that the singer would crush conservative, boy-next-door charmer Kris Allen. This was far from the case as host Ryan Seacrest announced Allen as the ultimate winner of this year’s competition. Was Allen surprised at the results? Possibly and possibly not, as he immediately stated with a tone of mild emptiness and discretion after the announcement, “Adam deserves this”. Between Adam Lambert’s jaw-dropping, seemingly limitless vocals and Kris Allen’s hit-or-miss coffee lounge timbre, it was blatantly clear who was the dominator of the two. However, there was far more to the suspicious result than what was disclosed in the finale.
Several weeks ago, photographs had leaked across the web of Adam Lambert at a “Burning Man” festival kissing another guy. When questioned about his sexual orientation, Lambert simply responded “I know who I am.” You might recall that around that time, Lambert ended up in the bottom 3 with fellow contestants Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta. Could the photographs have possibly played a part in this? While we can’t say for sure, we can likely consider the detrimental effect they had for Lambert in the finale. As judge Paula Abdul mentioned, where do the votes go after the third contestant is voted off – the third being clean-cut and cordial Danny Gokey? With several fans favoring Gokey’s warm, uplifting style as opposed to Lambert’s wildly brazen stage presence, it would come as no surprise who those votes would head off to in the finale. Days earlier, Kris Allen had urged fans not to make the “Christian vote” and that this was a singing competition alone. Did America listen? Apparently, a significant enough portion played deaf, sending Kris Allen to close off the season as the winner. As Seacrest made the announcement, judge Simon Cowell was seen initially remaining in his seat in silent protest, while giving dismayed looks at the other judges, who expressed surprise as well. Eventually, they all stood up in good spirits and applauded the “dark horse” seconds before he ironically sang the Kara Dioguardi-written song “No Boundaries”, as Adam Lambert awkwardly stepped aside and applauded Allen.
The controversy behind this result also brings up the question of whether Season 2 runner-up, Clay Aiken, may have been voted off for similar suspicions on his sexuality. Regardless, Aiken still soared miles further than winner Ruben Studdard, with the release of a few hit albums, numerous guest performances, and a leading Broadway role in Monty Python’s “Spamalot”. This simply shows that in the end, it really doesn’t matter which of the two finalists win “American Idol”, but more of what they do with their jumpstarted career afterwards. Kris Allen and Adam Lambert made this apparent as they sang the final song of the night, “We Are The Champions” together with legendary rock band “Queen”.
So tell me this, readers. With Lambert’s disappointing, yet conspiratorial loss, is America really ready for “Change” or have we rather revealed the hypocritical side in a large number of us? Could there have been even more to this end result than what we at AngryWeb have perceived here? Tell us what you guys think in the comments below!
Trent Reznor reacted strongly on the Nine Inch Nails forum when news broke that Apple had rejected an iPhone application that was submitted for the group. The following is Trent’s outburst:
“Now, “The Downward Spiral” the album is not available anywhere in the iPhone app. The song “The Downward Spiral” I believe is in a podcast that can be streamed to the app.
Thanks Apple for the clear description of the problem – as in, what do you want us to change to get past your stupid fucking standards?
And while we’re at it, I’ll voice the same issue I had with Wal-Mart years ago, which is a matter of consistency and hypocrisy. Wal-Mart went on a rampage years ago insisting all music they carry be censored of all profanity and “clean” versions be made for them to carry. Bands (including Nirvana) tripped over themselves editing out words, changing album art, etc to meet Wal-Mart’s standards of decency – because Wal-Mart sells a lot of records. NIN refused, and you’ll notice a pretty empty NIN section at any Wal-Mart. My reasoning was this: I can understand if you want the moral posturing of not having any “indecent” material for sale – but you could literally turn around 180 degrees from where the NIN record would be and purchase the film “Scarface” completely uncensored, or buy a copy of Grand Theft Auto where you can be rewarded for beating up prostitutes. How does that make sense? You can buy The Downward Fucking Spiral on iTunes, but you can’t allow an iPhone app that may have a song with a bad word somewhere in it. (…) Come on Apple, think your policies through and for fuck’s sake get your app approval scenario together.”

It is the night after the MTV Video Music Awards and all I have to say is “what the fuck was that about?” Throughout the night we were reminded that this was a special occasion since it was the 25th anniversary of the MTV VMAs. Well MTV sure did pull out all the stops on that show!
During the pre-show, the carpet was surround by preteen girls who obviously have watched more than enough of “The Hills”. Standing there and cheering with their banshee high pitch voices while one hit wonder rap artists and skanky looking R&B singers get there pictures taken by cell phone cameras. To top that off, MTV was kind enough to provide a helicopter for an aerial shot of celebrities arriving in their vehicles…thanks.
Once the show started, we were immediately hit with MTV’s first attempt at making Britney Spears a celebrity again. The pop sweetheart, who can’t sing a lick and has mothered 2 kids, came on for a quick intro and then left the stage only to leave us with what had to be the worst host in VMA history, and that’s not saying much.
Our beloved host came all the way from the U.K. wearing pants that looked like they had to be cut off and had hair like he took a bath with a blow dryer. After making the case that we may not have any idea who he is but he could act like a jerk off because he has some sort of following overseas, he started to bash U.S. politics and pursued the viewing public that England wants us to vote for Obama (which may account for McCain’s 10 point lead in the polls today).
Put all of this shit into a room that is 1/4 the size of what the VMAs provided in the past and you have the most lackluster and disappointing 25 year anniversary that anyone has produced. MTV has quite the history and last night proved that the network has become nothing but a bunch of scripted “reality” shows aimed at homosexuals and teenie bop girls.
I would write more about the events that took place last night but to be honest, I turned the TV off because the loss of brains cells was making me woozie. Thanks MTV.
