Hells Angels Plotted to Kill Mick Jagger Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger escaped an assassination plot hatched in 1969 by the Hells Angels, a new British Broadcasting Corp. documentary has claimed. Basically the story states that the Hells Angels were angry at Jagger for saying he would never use them for security again, after the tradegy at Altamont in December of the same year. An 18 year

Also published on Blog Critics. The last of the Mike Judge Collections has arrived, Volume 3, and my mixed feelings are carried over from the previous two releases. For those who weren't keeping up with this DVD series, a quick recap is in order. A few years back, MTV attempted to release a DVD compilation of Beavis and Butt-head, calling it The History of Beavis and Butt-head. Even though this

Review can also be found on Blog Critics. Do you ever stop to wonder if all the decisions you’ve made over the past twelve years were the right ones? Did they put you on the right path? Did you end up where you thought you would? Perhaps you disagree with John Lennon when he says, “there isn’t anywhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.” In Clerks II we catch up with Dante Hicks (

Review also appears on Blog Critics. Comedies are created for many varied demographics. There are comedies intended for adults. Some are aimed at teens. Still others find favor with young children. "She's the Man" is a comedy so dull and predictable, it's makers could only have had fetuses in mind as their audience. No one any older will be even mildly amused. Despite the rather high

Article also appears on Blog Critics. I like TV shows, but I don’t really like watching TV. Yes, the commercials can be tiresome, but they are not really the biggest problem. It’s trying to schedule watching the shows into my day. Have you ever cancelled plans because you couldn’t miss your favorite program? Of course there is TIVO and VCR’s, but that’s not a fun path either. Have you ever

Superman Returns is set 5 years after Superman defeats General Zod and his 2 cohorts in the second movie. So I guess that means Superman II takes place in 2001 and the first one in like 1999. Funny that I don't remember those movies being set in the future. I've tried to think of this movie with an open mind, and not let my nostalgic impulses guide my feelings. It doesn't matter. No matter how I

It's the summer movie season, but if you're like me you've found youself saying that a lot. Why? Because it takes less than a year for the DVD to come out, and actually going out to a movie theater has become more of an experience to dread than anticipate. Let's just start with the movie theater experience: It's hard to find a place to park. That should indicate people are still going to the

Insider TV has said Matt Damon is being considered for Captain Kirk in the upcoming Star Trek prequel. I had heard the next Star Trek was going to have the familiar characters from the original series in their younger days. Personally I think this concept is unnecessary. They could just create a new story and new characters if they want to do a new movie and have it not be a Next Generation

June 18th marks the 64th birthday of Paul McCartney. Aside from Taylor Hicks I haven't written much about music on this site, but I figured the 64th birthday of the former Beatle who wrote When I'm 64 would be as good a time as any to start. I love The Beatles and I love Paul McCartney, so in honor of his birthday I thought I would list my 10 favorite solo McCartney songs (yes the list will

See them here. Some highlights: 2 2005 American Idol constestants (well 1 winner) make the list and the American Idol host. Ryan Seacrest likes women with a "guttural laugh." And 5'10"? - questionable. Taylor Hicks - wants a woman who can be entertaining. New bachelor Nick Lachey - can't wait to have kids. Not to be outdone Ace Young says he'll have as many kids as he can afford. CSI's

This has been a week of transition for this site. Believe it or not this site is going back to entertainment related material. Taylor Hicks info is going to its own site that I newly created .... The Taylor Hicks Page. So please visit that page for all your Taylor Hicks info and discussion.

I am hearing a rumor that Taylor will be the musical guest on the The Tonight Show on June 22nd. I haven't verified it yet, but I hope so. Maybe he will get to sing something besides Do I Make You Proud. And as much as I like Takin' It To The Streets, it might be kind of nice to hear something besides that as well. I already have several versions of both of those songs to choose from. I'm sure

I got a couple of emails directly from Wal-Mart about this. They sent me a link to what would have been a live video feed of Taylor performing at their annual shareholders meeting - 10:15 AM eastern. Unfortunately for me that means 7:15 AM my time and I was sitting in rush hour traffic at the time and didn't see the email until after the performance was over. Don't be too disappointed thought,

Today 5/30/06 - Regis and Kelly - Also Katharine will be on tomorrow and Elliott on Thursday. Thursday 6/1/06 - Taylor and Katharine are both scheduled for The Today Show on NBC and just Taylor is scheduled for The Early Show on CBS. Friday 6/2/06 - Ellen. Ellen has never been very positive about Taylor so it will be intersting to see if she says she is a big fan or something like that.

Last night belonged to Taylor. I would like to say the final performances were a real showdown, but I think Taylor took it pretty easily. Katharine put all her chips in one basket, and I don't think it will pay off for her. Here is my completely biased review - The songs: Taylor Hicks - Living For The City - Taylor opened with a bang with this one. I thought he sounded better than the

VOTE FOR TAYLOR HICKS Just did a test and Taylor's numbers for tonight are: 1-866-IDOLS-021-866-IDOLS-041-866-IDOLS-06 IDOLS translates to 43667 - so 1-866-436-6702 Today is it for performances. The format for tonight is they had the choice of doing either, a reprise of 2 past performances and the coronation single, or they could do one past performance, one new song of their choice and the

What Taylor would like to do for his album: I would like it to be a really good representation of who I am as an artist. There’s gonna be some things I want to do creatively that I’ve never been able to get to do before "American Idol." Possibly a little bit cutting edge — there are some things in my mind that would be cutting-edge music.I just want really good songs. If I can feel it, it doesn’

I'll cover the reasons why Taylor should be the next American Idol this weekend, but first let's talk about how to do it. Over on Gray Charles (the best Taylor site on the web!) they have a voter tips thread going, with some useful information. http://www.graycharles.com/index.php/2006/05/19/all-about-voting-tips-tricks-and-techniques/ Due the "close" vote totals last week, voting this week is

The Soul Train came to a screeching halt last night, when it was announced that Elliott Yamin received the fewest number of votes on Tuesday night. The Soul Patorl's mission became even more clear. So now it's Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee in the big finale at the Kodak theater next week. According to the show the final 3 were in a statistical tie, with Elliott losing by a .2% margin, with

...I'm going to have to change what I thought yesterday and say that the other member of the top 2 will be Katharine. I think she may have edged out Elliott last night. I'm pretty positive Taylor is safe. If he's not safe then something weird happened, but I don't think there's any reason to think he's leaving tonight. The performances: Taylor Hicks - Clive Davis' choice - Dancing in the Dark

Update 12:33 PM Pacific time - There are going to be 3 phone numbers for each contestant tonight. Taylor is going last! If you are on the west coast you can try them out right now (votes not being counted of course). I got Taylor's voice on: 1-866-IDOLS-03 1-866-IDOLS-06 1-866-IDOLS-09 Note - as of 2 PM Pacific time - I get busy signals, so testing period is over. These will probably be the

Taylor was greeted by 20-30,000 fans yesterday when he returned home to Birmingham Alabama. His day consisted of a TV appearance and performance with his band on the Good Day Alabama morning show, another performance at the Galleria Mall, and yet another performance at a local park. Gray Charles has some video clips of his GDA and Galleria performances. There was also a parade through downtown

I'm a little overwhelmed by Taylor info today. I'll try to get some highlights up tomorrow. For today I'll end with some spoilers for Tuesday.

There are some clips of him performing with his band this morning on Good Day Alabama. http://www.myfoxal.com/myfox/pages/Entertainment I haven't actually had a chance to watch it myself.
