It doesn’t get much weirder than this.  Some guy actually had the image of pop star Drake shaved into the back of his head.

Well sir…you earn Charlie’s WTF! award of the day.  At least it’s not a tattoo.

For a guy who’s seemingly has survived some hard living, Vince Neil crying over ice skating seems pretty wussy-style.

Speaking to Billboard.com, the Motley Crue frontman says of his time on “Skating With The Stars:”

“It’s hard work. It’s an Olympic sport, and it’s just really tough.  I’m in rehearsals from 10 in the morning ’til six o’clock at night, seven days a week. It’s pretty grueling. It’s hard on your body. I’ve got bruises all over. It’s tough.”

Really Vince?  Aren’t you the same guy who sky dove naked from an aero-plane, shouted at the devil and took a walk on the wild side?  Seems like a little ice skating wouldn’t be so bad.

This Frankenstein is called Man Hathaway.

I’m not sure if I’m more disturbed that Anne Hathaway’s face is on Jake Gyllenhaal’s body , or that Jake Gyllenhaal’s face is on Anne Hathaway’s face.

I’m not sure this captures the spirit of the holiday, but it’s kind of cool.

Credits to the 1986 Slayer song “Raining Blood.”

Time for some fun celebrity look-alikes.  I think I see the resemblance.

I wanted to take the time today to remember an actor who has had a significant influence on my life.

Roger Ebert once called him the “Lawrence Oliver” of spoof , but I’d go one step further and say he was the King Kong of spoof comedy.

Leslie Nielsen died yesterday at the age of 84 from complications due to a pneumonia.

As a child, there was no greater actor who may have influenced my immature sense of humor other than Leslie Nielsen. From his deadpan delivery to his ability to make you believe that he had no idea about what was going on, Neilsen always portrayed a character that had a noble heart. You nearly needed oxygen after laughing so hard at him.

He is part of what I would consider one of the greatest comedies of all time, delivering some of the key one-liners from the movie “Airplane.” In memoriam, I will watch it and laugh for Leslie today. Thanks for the laughs.

Hopefully you’ve thawed that turkey out by now. I think the main problem with this video is that the woman is using her back to lift and not her legs. Always lift with the legs.

It’s totally awesome…and I guess that’s pretty cool.

Interesting.  A new study says 69% of women expect a fight to break out this year….before Thanksgiving even starts!

Holy DRAMA!  They obviously haven’t been surveying my family members, because I think that number would be closer to a 99% chance.  Here’s how the turkey tragedy breaks down.

More than two out of three women say their families will be pulling the long knives on each other Thursday and firing up family feuds before the holiday bird even hits the table.

My solution: in the backyard this year.  Create a Thunderdome style cage ring.  Let the argument be settled via cage fight.  Two men enter. One man leaves.  Really, it’s the only good way to resolve the problem.

The only downfall is the awkward dinner conversation afterwards.  Referencing the person who does not return from the Thunderdome-style match is strictly taboo.

The prospects for actually being thankful on the big day are so dim that more than 1 in 10 women told iVillage they are “dreading” the holiday.  “Thanksgiving is a perfect mix for a volatile family holiday,” said Kelly Wallace, iVillage chief correspondent. “When families come together, sometimes feuds are just inevitable.”

The site asked visitors what the major bones of contention have been on Turkey days past. The top answers included: money; not liking the food; the hostess complaining she’s doing all the work; people who drink too much; and being bored. The Thanksgiving dread is especially true for hostesses, 37 percent of whom call the holiday a time of great stress.

Rated PG-13 – 2h26

You’d think the boy wizard could have conjured up a better outcome for himself.

Film 101: Any successful movie must have a beginning, middle and end. The rule also applies to movies that fit into a franchise, such as the Harry Potter films. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has no ending, just a point where they press pause until Part 2 comes out. Not fair.

I feel that if I’m going to see a film, I should be seeing a beginning, middle and end.
In this much darker and moody chapter of the series, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is on the run while at the same time is in search of horcruxes. They are magical items that if all found and destroyed, can also destroy the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Feinnes). That’s about the entirety of this film. It’s one long chase scene.

Although fans of the book would argue this film leaves out plenty of details, I would argue that the film retains too many details. If you don’t recall all the characters from the previous films, you could very easily get lost in the casting. Again, not fair to the film audience.

There are also unnecessary scenes used for the purpose of creating drama, which don’t advance the film. Take for example when Ron Weasley is wearing one of the soon to be destroyed horcruxes. Harry knows from wearing it himself that it puts the wearer in a bad mood. When Ron puts it on, he gets in a bad mood and eventually leaves. This breaks up the team and puts them further in jeopardy. The problem could have simply been resolved by taking the horcrux off. All of the characters in the scene knew it.

That said, it’s set beautifully. You get to see the characters in amazingly brilliant settings as they teleport from one locale to another to stay safe. The high production value and special effects were entertaining, but not nearly enough to sustain.

What is interesting is that Harry Potter isn’t the real champion of this story. He’s the main reason for what’s going on, but fellow protagonist Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) is the real brains behind the operation. She’s the one getting them out of a sticky situation. She’s the one coming up with the next step. She’s the one who figures the big riddles out.

Maybe we call the next chapter “Hermione Granger: The Witch Who Quite Often Bails Out Harry Potter.
