Good Wednesday morning, kids.
It's a dreary morning here at the karaoke compound. As far as I can tell, it's been raining since around 3 this morning- at least, based on the thunder that was rumbling around that time.
Me, I'm laid up sitting on the couch with my leg propped up after feeling something give way yesterday at work. Who manages to pull/strain a muscle in the back of their thigh while squatting down to pick up empty boxes? This fucking guy, that's who.
Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood says he feared the worst after being diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year.
The 70 year old thought it might be "time to say goodbye," after a doctor told him he "had this supernova burning away on my left lung."
Wood told The Mail he decided against chemotherapy if test results turned out to be bad, "I wasn't going to lose my hair. This hair wasn't going anywhere."
Fortunately, the lesion was small. Wood said he'll undergo checks every three months for recurrences.
Producers of the Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me have asked that a lawsuit by writer Kevin Powell be dismissed because he never he obtained, or even sought, a registration certificate for his work.
Powell claims that the film infringes upon several of his articles for Vibe magazine published in the 1990s.
In a motion to dismiss filed for Lionsgate, Morgan Creek, Program Pictures, and L.T. Hutton, attorneys say Powell "merely offers the conclusory allegations that the Asserted Works were 'copyrighted' or 'copyrightable.' But Plaintiff did not plead that he owns valid copyright registrations in the Asserted Works, or that the Copyright Office denied registration for the Asserted Works. Nor did Plaintiff attach any registration certificates to the Complaint, or any correspondence from the Copyright Office indicating a refusal to register any of the Asserted Works. This alone warrants dismissal. Moreover, a search of the Copyright Office’s registration database for 'Kevin Powell' and for each of the titles of the Asserted Works returned no corresponding registrations."
The judge in the case has not ruled on the motion.
Saturday Night Live alum Maya Rudolph has signed on to star in Fox's musical version of A Christmas Story.
I seriously do not understand why everyone is so fucking gaga over this movie. Yes, it was funny. Once or twice. Twenty four fucking hours a day at Christmas for twenty something fucking years killed all charm for that shit, though. Now, I just want to Elvis the fucking TV every Christmas Eve when flipping past TNT/TBS/Whatever-other-fucking-channel they run it on.
