Lenny Kravitz As Cinna Official Movie Poster


It’s been a long time since I’ve put up a poster on my bedroom wall.  But this poster of Lenny Kravitz as Cinna from The Hunger Games is making me reach for the thumbtacks y’all.  Look at him!  There is no rockstar/actor more worthy of Cinna’s gold eyeliner than Lenny Kravitz.  I can hardly wait to see the movie in March.  Want to see some of the other characters’ posters?  They’re all pretty good, but Lenny as Cinna?  * I faint * 

The official posters were all over the internet today.  You can find Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Rue, Effie Trinket, Hamish Abernathy, and my beloved Cinna on Fandango.com
And here is an excellent Details Magazine interview with Lenny.  It includes a bit about his casting in The Hunger Games.

Cher's Angry Tweets On DWTS Judge

Singer and actress Cher, poses with her 

Cher went Mama Grizzly on one of the judges of Dancing With The Stars when he referred to her son, Chaz, as a “little penguin.” 

The icon was furious after judge, Bruno Tonioli, compared Chaz’s moves to “a cute little penguin trying to be a big menacing bird of prey.”  Chaz and his partner performed a Phantom of the Opera-inspired tango on Monday night, as part of the show’s Broadway week.

On Cher’s Twitter feed she posted the following comments about the judge and his less-than-flattering comments about Chaz:

“That guy has no room 2 (to) talk “Little penguins”… I find it disrespectful that Bruno refers to Chaz as a “little penguin”…
“Is it DWTS or Looking Perfect WTS (what the s**t)? Its easy 4 (for) him 2 (to) take cheap shots at chaz! Let him come 2 (to) “my” stage.
“I could teach his little arm waving a** some manners! Critique Chaz’s dance style, movements etc, but don’t make fun of my child on nat.tv (national television).
“It’s not about Chaz winning! He’s doing his best & he will stay as long as he stays! Thats “show business” but, dont b (be) unkind 4 (for) no reason.
“Mean is not funny… Bruno’s reason, pure selfishness! His only concern was 2b (to be his) usual funny animated self, at Chaz’s expense!”

Man Cut Out Of Baby Bucket Swing

IMG_1457
Over the weekend in Vallejo, a 21-year-old unidentified moron bet his friends $100 that he could fit into a baby swing at a local park.  He lubed up with laundry detergent and slipped into the bucket swing.  Guess what happened next.


According to the story on SFGate, he promptly became stuck.  Swelling and circulation issues made it impossible for him to get out on his own, said Vallejo police Sgt. Jeff Bassett.  And then his friends left him.  (Hahaahahaaaa!)

Nine hours later, at about six o’clock the next morning a groundskeeper heard him screaming for help and called authorities who came to free him.

To add insult to injury, or maybe as I like to believe, because he deserved it, Vallejo firefighters decided the best tactic to go about freeing him was to cut the chains and then transport him to the nearest hospital STILL WEARING THE SWING.  He arrived at Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center, still wrapped in the diaper-like seat.  Firefighters used a cast cutter to finally get the makeshift diaper off of him. The man sustained non-life threatening injuries.

I think he should’ve been made to perform a one-man shame parade through the middle of town.  Still wearing the “diaper-like” bucket swing.
Idiot.
