Everything wrong with movies, pretty fun:



Everything Wrong with the Wizard of OZ

I always thought there were some things wrong with it.

EDIT: OH, and more about Never Say Never. I discovered that I had that world series video of the song on my own video all along, because I recorded the game (being a Giants fan). I think that's neat. And seeing the Biebs wearing a SF Giants hat. It was Game 3, in Texas.

It was a "world premiere" not only of a video, but of his acoustic version of the song, which is also shorter without the Jaden Smith rap. It was on the My Worlds Acoustic album released that month, which also included one new fully-produced song: "Pray," his best song ever, and still the best song by anyone in the last 40 years.

(and this was the first Giants world series win in 56 years)

I heard a rumor today that Justin Bieber may get a sexiest man alive award from somewhere. I dunno, but here is one list: (now now, don't draw any conclusions about me). Anyway, certainly worth mentioning on the Bieber shrine, since I don't know of any new music yet. I don't even know most of these on the list, though.


Top 20 ‘Sexiest Men’ of 2013: Glamour UK releases annual list

December 3, 2013
Glamour UK has just released its annual list of “Sexiest Men” for 2013. “Man of Steel” star, Henry Cavill has replaced Twilight’s Robert Pattinson as the “Sexiest Man in the World.” Below are highlights on some of the other 18 “Sexiest Men” on Glamour’s 2013 list, based on Dec. 3 news reports from Show Biz Spy, Entertainment IE and the Herald Sun.

Highlights of the New 2013 Sexiest Man List

Glamour magazine conducts a “Sexiest Men” poll every year. The complete list consists of 100 of the world’s sexiest men, but the magazine has only released the top 20 names for now. But Glamour has provided a “sneak peek” at some of the other men whose names appear on the list.

For four years straight Robert Pattinson held the #1 spot on Glamour’s “Sexiest Man” list. But this year Pattinson dropped to the #2 spot. See Robert Pattinson Loses His #1 Spot on New ‘100 Sexiest Men’ List. For 2013, Henry Cavill, the new “Superman”actor, has taken over the top spot, having rising steadily within the elite ranks of sexy men. In 2011 Cavill ranked #15. In 2012 he ranked #10. This year Henry Cavill holds the rank of #1 sexiest man in the world.

Charlie Hunnam, who relinquished the coveted role of Christian Grey in the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey” holds the #11 on the list. Other “50 Shades of Grey” contenders on the “Sexiest Men” list include Ian Somerhalder in spot #12 and Matt Bomer in spot #13.

It turns out that Miley Cyrus’s ex-fiance, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth is considered to be sexier than his older brother, Chris. “Hunger Games” star Liam holds the #3 spot, while Chris Hemsworth ranks #7 on the list.

All of the One Direction boys made the list, but they have varying degrees of sex appeal. Harry Styles was deemed the sexiest of the One Direction members, ranking #6 on the list. Of Harry’s fellow One Direction members, Zayn Malik ranks #27, Niall Horan ranks #40, Louis Tomlinson ranks #43, and Liam Payne ranks #48.

Justin Bieber, one of the youngest men on the list, also rose through Glamour’s “sexiest Men” ranks. Last year Justin held spot #49; this year he rose to #10.

Idris Elba, who starred in “Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom” is the lone African-American actor on the (top 20) list. Idris holds the #8 spot. However, three other African-American men’s names appear further down on the list.

Are British Men Sexier than American Men?

The breakdown of names on Glamour’s list seems to suggest that British men are among the sexiest men in the world. Especially since 7 of the top 10 sexiest men are Brits.

But keep in mind that the poll is conducted by the British edition of Glamour magazine. A similar poll by the American edition of Glamour would probably yield entirely different results. For example, Adam Levine was recently named by People magazine as the “Sexiest Man Alive.” But on Glamour’s list of “100 Sexiest Men,” Adam ranks #93. Other actors who are wildly popular with American fans also rank near the bottom of Glamour’s “sexiest men" list. George Clooney ranks #100, Ashton Kutcher ranks #96, and Brad Pitt ranks #95.

Egging is also very messy!

Anger management sessions? Yup more messiness.

This is not new stuff, of course. The question is whether JB is behaving now since promising "no more monkey business."

Remember, there's a new Justin model every year. The 20-year old may be different from the 19-year old.

It seems like a fair sentence to me though.

"tony gated"?? wtf??

quoting:

Justin Bieber pleaded no contest on Wednesday to one count of misdemeanor vandalism after egging his neighbor's house earlier this year, according to a statement by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. The singer will have to complete five days of community service and attend an anger management program. He must also pay the plaintiff $80,900 and stay away from the man and his family for two years.

In January, Bieber's neighbor claimed that he and his daughter were on the balcony of their Calabasas home and videotaped the singer throwing eggs at their house. Sheriff department spokesman Steve Whitmore said at the time that Bieber was named as a suspect in a misdemeanor vandalism and assault crime report, and that a charge could rise to a felony depending on the damage estimate. According to the Los Angeles Times, Bieber's neighbors in the tony gated community have complained about the 19-year-old pop star before, accusing him of throwing loud parties and driving recklessly....

"I get that the eggs don't seem that significant, but it does rise to the level of a felony," said Lt. David Thompson at the time of the raid. "There is a victim in this case who has had extensive damage done to their home. That's a serious incident."

It had occurred to me before that Bieber could do more than "community service" by putting on a benefit concert in Los Angeles for whatever cause is deemed "worthy" by the authorities. I have some concern that Bieber out somewhere doing "community service" in LA could be dangerous to him or others, because of fan mobs and papparazzi, etc.

Excellent refutation of some (or most?) of you guys.



Thanks for gianthogweed for referring me to this guy; at least on this issue he makes perfect sense.

Sorry Eric, but some things are just "built in", regardless of model year. A Jeep will always have certain charaterics , regardless of model year.

Beiber seems to have an anger issue. That's a feature, not a bug.

• Cynicism: a mistrusting attitude regarding the motives of people in general, leading one to be constantly on guard against the "misbehavior" of others.
• Anger: the emotion so often engendered by the cynical person's expectation of unacceptable behavior on the part of others.
• Aggression: the behavior to which many hostile people are driven by the unpleasant negative emotions of anger, irritation, and the like.
The test you just took is designed to reveal where you stand on these three dimensions of hostility that research has shown to predict higher death rates.

Cynicism: 4
Anger : 8
Agression : 6

Now this looks right up your alley. Lessee, Rags "has some concern" wrt cynicism. OK, that should map to X-cusp. Not as bad as core-X.
Anger : Now this this seems to assert that Eric's read on Rag's aura of the red part is valid.
Aggression : Validation perhaps?

So we have 2 birds of a feather. I don't like the Biebs 'cause he projects something rags has unto himself!

I don't know what a Grade A tool is.

But Rags may be right that he still has an anger problem. It does appear to be a stage though, since these kinds of things have only occurred in the last couple of years.

The Bieber side of the latest Canada story is apparently that this was another fracas with a papparazzi. He doesn't like their intrusion; in that way he's similar to other stars. Remember the one who caused Princess Diana's death?

I have always found him extremely entertaining, in many ways. It's hard to think of anyone more entertaining than he is, in fact, since most of the best entertainers have already died off. He has many good personal sides to him.

People are not jeeps, although that may conflict with vandal's view of the world. Although I admit I brought up the metaphor of "model years" of Justin.

Yes, that may be a good self-analysis

Eric the Green gets

cynicism: 7 "high" (boomers can be cynical too)
anger: 5 "of concern"
aggression: 3 "low"

That seems to fit; I'm angrier in my thoughts than in my actions.

Bieber not a hunk? Get a load of him as he takes the ice bucket challenge, and barely winces, meanwhile showing off his muscles. I bet he's glad something else wasn't in the bucket (no further comment).

The Justin Bieber of organists sure has a different audience from Justin Bieber!

Let's have a *poison ivy extract bucket challenge. I'm game if the Biebs is.

preparation: Just pick a bunch of poison ivy leaves, place in rubbing alcohol , and let set overnight. I used to make it and put it on bigger folks than I's books in Jr. high.

Oh oh, the Biebs has contracted ebola, according to this report. Imagine the panic that this is going to cause! Imagine all his beliebers trying to touch him! tee hee!


Justin Bieber Hospitalized With Ebola
Aug 14, 2014
http://dailycurrant.com/2014/08/14/j...-with-ebola-2/


Justin Bieber has been hospitalized with the ebola virus.

According to local reports, the teen heartthrob contracted the disease while visiting a fan with cancer at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, the same facility where two American ebola patients are being treated.

“Basically it’s all his own fault,” says John Anderson, the hospital administrator who chaperoned Bieber’s visit. “On our way to oncology, we walked past the isolation ward. He asked me ‘What’s behind this door?’ and I told him ‘That’s the isolation ward. We can’t go in there.’

“And then he was like ‘What do you mean I can’t go in there? Do you know who I am? I can go wherever I want.’

“He demanded that I open the door, but I refused. So instead he waited until a nurse came through and snuck past her into the ward. Only then did he realize that the room housed our two ebola patients from Africa.

“The room locks automatically, so he was stuck in there for about an hour. After we got him out he tested positive for ebola. It’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen anybody do.”


Experts call the infection an isolated incident, and there is no danger to the public.

The ebola virus arrived in the U.S. this month after two American healthcare workers who contracted the illness in Africa returned home for care.

The deadly disease causes a vicious hemorrhagic fever and carries a 50% - 90% mortality rate.

“We seriously considered not treating him,”says Dr. Lance Gibbons, head of infectious disease research at the hospital. “On the one hand we had a moral obligation to provide care. On the other hand, his music is arguably a public health hazard.

“Ultimately we decided to give him treatment. But it was a tough call.”

Bieber has maintained a home near Atlanta since early this year and is known for his charity work.

Once you've hit the "beating up paparazzi stage," you've already started your fall from grace. Also, I don't think parents are going to encourage their children to buy his albums anymore due to his negative image. (which he's doing a great job of exasperating.)

Any reputation for violence tends to turn people away. His album sales have been dropping for awhile now, especially his latest on hid documentary and cd:

Journals, which came out just before and during his melt-down, did not do as well, nor did his concert Believe movie. Most of the tracks on Journals were released one at a time, once a week. All these songs are good, as usual; but they are less intended to be big hits, and are more innovative, as if his audience is being reduced to more hard-core fans who are growing up with him. I don't think it's a question of what parents encourage their children to buy, especially since his fans are getting older too. His fans are genuine and they love his music for itself, because his music is good, and not just something that someone encourages someone to buy.

He fell from grace, but he's a very strong person. He can rise again. He's on hiatus and extended vacation now. I imagine he feels he needs that, to bring more balance and sanity into his frenzied and extraordinary workaholic life, and he has more control over his career and his money now so that he can do this if he wants. He is the executive producer of his records now. He has mostly stayed out of trouble for some time now, except for another incident with a pararazzi who was following him and his girlfriend on their private vacation out in the wilderness and collided with his vehicle. His critics and haters called him gay and a girly boy incessantly, and now they call him feisty and violent now that he looks more macho. He can never win with his haters.

Things to keep in mind: views of songs from Journals on you tube have kept up despite a slow start. His fans are still listening. Even his older hits still get views. He hasn't released anything since Journals, so there's no way to tell how his "latest" CD would do, since there isn't one yet.

Well that's the point, things like this can really turn away fanbases. Especially cases of assault or stories of violence. Remember Tom Sizemore? He was a huge deal in the 80s and early 90s, then he just sort of disappeared after repeated allegations of domestic abuse. Some parents may tolerate drug addictions or alcoholism provided that the singer or actor goes into rehab, but in my experience, people tend to shun violent celebrities. Not that Justin Beiber is a violent person, but anymore stories of this could really hurt his image. He needs to have a talk with his PR team.

It's not really up to him and more up to his fanbase whether they accept someone who has allegations of abuse. A few run ins with the paparazzi tend to be more forgivable than something like domestic abuse. But repeat incidences of this can definitely hurt his career long time.

His fans will continue to listen until her repeatedly lets them down with his constant media stunts.

Who? I don't know of anyone named Beiber.

Sure, but you are referring to events from 10 months ago. He has had plenty of such talks by now, and promised in a photo he posted sitting with a monkey statue, "no more monkey business." And he's stayed out of trouble a lot more since, and done more charity work too. I've heard lots of stories of celebrities that got into fights and came back. James Garner, Diana Ross are two I can think of. No, it's not a good thing, but it may be just a phase due to his overwork and all the craziness that is directed at him.

True, but I don't think reports from 10 months ago are that relevant now. His motto is Never Say Never, and his album was called Believe (the titles of his two concert films too), and I think he means it.

Lots of fun, and lots of sense:

Wow, really cool day on the game shows, from the point of view of millie pop! It was Kids Week on Double Jeopardy. The category was Songs on the Radio, and the $400 question was by Justin's girlfriend. I had run across it before, but these days it's an ad for ebay (which is a couple of miles from me). And now I like it (maybe!). Not as much as the best songs by her boyfriend, but probably as good as Boyfriend. Lots of views and likes.



Millie Pop is the best! Two of the other songs in the category were two of my four favorites from the last 4 years-- both of them the ones suggested to me by posters here. The $800 question was Good Time. Wow, really cool to see that! Was wondering if and when it would happen. The kids just had to complete the line with the title. And the $1600 answer was Pharrell Williams; surprised to see it at that low a level compared to the others. It was "Happy" of course, and we got to hear it too. The kids got all the questions right, and I got 4 of them.

And to top it off a Wheel of Fortune round featured the words "Never Say Never." Super cool! lol

With all the crap going on, I find it fun to post a pop culture tidbit that I like. You may remember the story of our beach party in July 2013 where I led my friends in a chorus of "Good Time" by Owl City and then found my wallet stolen from my car? A few months later the new host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire always ended the show by saying " watch your wallet," and sometimes right afterward a Hershey chocolate commercial would come on with "it's always a Good Time" in the background. Well, now there's another chocolate commercial out for Hershey's, and guess what song they are using? The opening vocal riff from Justin Bieber's "Pray" song! So, my two favorite pop songs from the 21st century get used in chocolate commercials. Fun! And maybe I should get some Hershey's!

Comedy Central Roast has picked its next “guest of honor”: Justin Bieber.

“Justin has been asking us to roast him, and we just keep telling him to go create more source material first,” said Kent Alterman, Comedy Central's president of content development and original programming. “We're thrilled he listened.”

Bieber backed Alterman's statements about the roast – #BieberRoast, rather – on Twitter.

For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them with more material so for a year now I have worked hard

Meet the New Biebs, same as the old Biebs...

At first I didn't think I liked his new song with the famous DJ Skrillex. btw Skrilliex was an answer on Jeopardy yesterday; that's a neat coincidence. Listening to the song again, I noticed once again the amazing melodic inventiveness and ingenuity that Justin brings to his songs. Like the ones from Journals, this one doesn't blow over the teenieboppers to top the charts like Baby or Boyfriend. But it proves again that Justin is exactly what Susan and many others here say he's not: an artiste. Very exquisite and sensitive songwriter (although he always works with others), and subtle singer too.

No, not the same Biebs. He changes every year; that's amazing too. I like the new model so far. Now let's see if he comes up with a new album.

And whether as a guest on a show, or in a video that makes fun of him or knocks him (or even spreads some lies about him like the above), or even when he does do stupid stuff, no-one today is more funny or entertaining to watch.
