HBO MAKING A SHOW ABOUT PORN">HBO MAKING A SHOW ABOUT PORN
Perhaps spurred by the viewer response to Sasha Grey’s jungle of pubic hair on “Entourage,” HBO is now working on a show about the porn industry, according to Page Six.
Mark Wahlberg and Steve Levinson are working with controversial writer James Frey… on a one-hour drama that will use both legit actors and real porn performers. The plot will focus on a giant video company under siege from Internet competitors and a girl from the Midwest whose boyfriend convinces her to move to Los Angeles to become a star.
Frey, who’s writing the pilot, said, “We’re going to make a sprawling epic about the porn business in LA. We’re going to tell the type of stories no one else has told before, and go places no one has gone before.”
Places no one has ever gone before, eh? Sounds to me like someone’s finally developed the vagina cam.
The tag line for this should be pretty easy to write. “From the creator of ‘Entourage’ and the writer of the most-disparaged memoir of our time… something something… PORN!”

Two things happened to Rima Fakih yesterday. She nearly went splat after tripping over the long train of her wedding-like gown. And more importantly, the Miss Michigan USA pageant queen was crowned Miss USA. Rima, who was born in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. as a baby, said she knew she’d be crowned the winner when she saw Donald Trump‘s expression. “That’s the same look that he gives them when he says, ‘You’re hired,’ on ‘The Apprentice,’ she said. Rima will go on to represent the U.S. in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant. She also will receive a New York apartment for one year, an undisclosed salary, and various beauty, health, and professional services. After the jump, find out more about Rima, including the surprising talent that helped her win another kind of contest.

German Teacher Striptease
From the “this stuff never happened when I was in school” files, news has leaked from Hungary of a female teacher doing a striptease for her students at a local high school. The unnamed teacher, of German descent, was supposed to be supervising a party, but became engaged in an escalating game of Truth or Dare. Dared to do a “pole dance”, she decided instead to do a full on striptease!
The teacher got down to her bra and had unbuttoned her pants before being covered up by another school employee. Luckily, one on-the-ball student decided to capture the dance on his mobile phone. The quality isn’t great, but those are the breaks.
Parents are outraged and want the teacher fired, but the school headmaster has refused to sack the unnamed mistress despite pressure from parents and other teachers, stating that she is a valuable teacher for the school.

After calming down a little but, SRK told reporters:
““Ra.One” is a superhero film. There is a good guy, there is a bad guy, there is a beautiful girl, there is a wonderful singer and a fantastic director.”
“It’s a kind of film, a genre we guys haven’t tried at ‘Red Chilies.’ On behalf of the whole team, I would like to try and I hope we succeed. It’s a new thing for all of us, so we are giving it our best shot,” he added.

Hannah Montana Says Good Bye!
The teen sensation Miley Cyrus says good bye! Rather it is Hannah Montana who says “Good Bye” to her millions of fans world wide.The hugely popular Disney T.V show Hannah Montana comes to an end on Sunday March 14th.
The show started in 2006 when Miley was 13 years old. The show was a huge success for the Disney channel. Infact Miley’s music career got a head start with the release of the Hannah Montana Soundtrack CD.
The name and fame that Miley got because of the show is phenomenal. She became a “Teen Icon”. Every girl wanted to be like her ever since.They wanted to dress like her, the proof is that the “Hannah Montana” costume is one of the hot favorites for halloween till date. Naturally it will be hard for her fans to say “good bye”! I have witnessed the “awwwwwwwwws” of the little girls all over USA,when they came to know that their favorite star is going to say good bye very soon.
“The Show Hannah Montana was all about Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus), an average high schooler. Unbeknownst to her classmates, she had a dual identity one as the popular singer Hannah Montana., and the other was that of an average teen girl Miley Stewart. Miley in the show was raised by her father in Tenessese. Miley came to Malibu with her father and manager, Robby Stewart (real-life dad Billy Ray Cyrus), and her brother Jackson (Jason Earles) to fulfil her dreams. Miley’ best friends were Lilly (Emily Osment) and Oliver (Mitchel Musso) were among the few who knew Hannah Montana’s true identity.”
The media says that with Miley Cyrus (17) getting older and wanting to move on to do other things, the young star apparently feels like it’s time for Hannah Montana to come to an end.But thankfully, the show does not end abruptly,it ends with a moral.As a parent of a Hannah Montana fan I can vouch that this show always had some educational/moral lessons in every episode.The father daughter relationship or the sibbling relationship portrayed was truly remarkable. There were a lot of good reasons for the show to become so popular through out the world.
However, like all good things comes to an end, the last episode of Hannah Montana will be aired on the Disney Channel this Sunday evening, where Hannah aka Miley takes a very important decision. Don’t miss it!
Good Luck Miley!

The Best Trailer Mash-Ups of All Time (Videos)
Girls and guys, howgood are movie trailer mash-ups?! Seriously, so awesome. They bring the LOLs and the satire! Nothing’s better than ironically derived LOLs.
Like, have you seen that ‘Avatar’ movie?! ZoMG, it was pretty! So much shiny flashy swoopy 3D alien cat people! If there is an Oscar for best alien cat people, then give all best alien cat people Oscars to ‘Avatar’. But I’m thinking that maybe it would have been good to invest .1% of the movie’s budget in not ripping off ‘FernGully’? Maybe? IDK, I am not captain filmmaker over here.
But if the ‘FernGully’/‘Avatar’ trailer mash-up is any indication, someone agrees with me. After the jump, check out that mash-up plus seven more of the best mash-ups of all time.
‘Avatar’ + ‘FernGully’
This one brings major major LOLs. The big tree in ‘FernGully’ looks just like the big tree in ‘Avatar.’
‘Watchmen’ + ‘WALL-E’
You’ve got to hand it to ‘WALL-E’…for a kid’s flick, it sure depicts a pretty disturbing dystopian future.
‘The Matrix’ + ‘Fight Club’
Wow, 1999 really was the year of paranoid macho beat-em-ups that toyed with the nature of reality.
'A Hard Day's Night' + Zombies
As a Rolling Stones' fan, I derive a lot of pleasure from this.
‘Finding Nemo’ + ‘Crash’
That starfish has seen some things.
'Brokeback Mountain' + 'Back To The Future'
Finally, someone points out the sizzling sexual tension between Marty and the Doc.
‘Reservoir Dogs’ + ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’
If you were a mutant who lived in a sewer then you’d be pretty disgruntled too.
'Star Wars' + 'Garden State'
Finally, Hayden Christensen's smoldering emo eyes get put into a more appropriate film.
