50 Cent Casting New Film on Craigslist

// November 6th, 2009 by bhoffman

Making its way around the web today is this Craigslist ad seeking actors for a new 50 Cent film. They are casting quite a few parts. See if you can spot the typing errors below (hint: “50″ seems to be spelled correctly.)

Keep in mind, if you’re interested and you think you’ve got the goods, they are “seking maels to protry gang member.”

infoMania recap 11/05

// November 6th, 2009 by Josh Heller

Last night’s infoMania was a blast. They looked at Kate (minus nine.) Roker in fake wax. ‘V’ and it’s connections to ‘O’. Levi Johnston’s tweets. And all the tools at Tool Academy.

infoMania debuted their promo for a new reality show: Top Scent

Missed reading the week’s magazines? Conor Knighton has got you covered. He looks at Adam Lambert, Cougar Conventions (which we already covered), Fergie’s undying love for Josh Duhamel, and his potential affairs with a stripper.

Sergio Cilli watches Billboard’s top 100 videos (but only chooses 5.) From Jay-Z to Miley Cyrus to Owl City, the jokes are-a-plenty.

infoMania has “all eyes” on this week’s election that surely will affect “2010.”

Perhaps Nicolas Cage Shouldn’t Have Bought All Those Snakes/Islands?

// November 5th, 2009 by bhoffman

According to The Daily Beast, Nicolas Cage is suing his former business manager for $20 million for “sending Cage down a path toward financial ruin.”

Long story short, if Cage needs $20 million that bad, he’s in deep sh*t (20 mil is what he typically makes per movie).

And the article implies it might not be all his business manager’s fault. Because Cage was the one who bought the 12 houses, the castle in England, the estate in Germany, two Bahamian Islands (!), 50 cars, two yachts, Gulfstream jet, mini-zoo (including dogs, rare birds, snakes and lizards) and millions of dollars worth of comic books.

Best quote: “There also was a dinosaur skull that Cage purchased in 2007 for $276,000 in a heated auction with Leonardo DiCaprio.”

Pictures of historical inaccuracies

// November 5th, 2009 by Josh Heller

Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of pictures showing up online of grave historical inaccuracies. I’m not sure why, but around this time every year, I see a spike in such fallacious images.

Frida Kahlo never spent any time with Abraham Lincoln. He’d died 42 years before she was born, so either this is a photoshop, or someone has created a gigantic hoax.

Lance Bass and Kim Kardashian together? That’s a historical inaccuracy. Lance Bass’s fame came to an end when N’Sync went on hiatus in 2005. Kim Kardashian’s sex tape didn’t even come out until 2007. So then I ask you history sleuths, how could they possibly in the same picture?

Free U2 Concert (If You Have Tickets and/or X-Ray Vision)

// November 5th, 2009 by bhoffman

As BBC News is reporting, U2 is celebrating 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall by playing a free concert in the city… and building a wall around the event so no one without tickets can see or hear it.

A Berlin Wall concert that you can’t get to because it’s blocked by a giant wall? Man, sometimes these articles just write themselves
