Despite the best efforts of the House Republicans to defund ObamaCare by any means necessary, the Healthcare Reform Act is in full effect today.
The online comedy troupe Funny or Die put out a humourous public service announcement starring singer Jennifer Hudson, parodying the Olivia Pope character from the popular tv drama ‘Scandal’, to help persuade young Americans to sign up for coverage this year.
This is just one of many Hollywood-Obama joint initiatives that will be rolling out to assist the public in navigating around the new healthcare laws.
The movie is set to be released October 4, 2013! THIS will be a nail-biter!
The movie is set to be released in January 2014! This should be good!
Jackie Chan is once again the victim of a celebrity death hoax this week.
Fortunately, the 59-year-old actor is not only alive and well, but poking fun at the reports about his alleged death.
“If I died, I would probably tell the world,” Chan posted to Facebook at the time the first death report surfaced. “I took a photo with today’s date, just in case you don’t believe me! However, thank you for your concern. Kiss kiss and love you all!”
With the post, the actor included a photo of himself pointing to the date on a current newspaper.
The rumor of Chan’s death began earlier this year with a Facebook application that claimed the martial artist had died while filming a movie and performing a stunt.
Then, when Chan’s Facebook account was hacked and the death article was posted to his timeline, the rumor gained momentum.
A frequent Facebook user, Chan reassured fans that the death rumors were false when he posted a funny photo of himself on Sept. 25.
“Did you know this,” he wrote, referring to the popular internet meme of the actor.
Earlier, on Sept. 22, Chen posted, “Want a bite,” along with a photo of himself holding a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice.
Further proving that the actor is more alive than ever, Chen’s team posted the actor’s 60th birthday plans to Facebook on Sept. 16.
“Next year, 2014, is Jackie’s 60th birthday,” the post read. “He will be celebrating this monumental occasion in Beijing with friends and fans from around the world! Tentative plans include a charity peace concert, and a fan club party.”
At last night’s Emmy’s, Edie Falco gave a moving tribute to deceased Co-star and the face of the show, James Gandolfini.
“You all knew James Gandolfini the actor. I was lucky enough to know Jim the man. For 10 years as his close colleague and his pretend life-partner, and for many more years as his friend. And it’s Jim, the man, the very dear man, that I will miss most of all.”
It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it. Right Beyonce?
This is what happened when Beyonce went to work in Sao Paulo in Brazil a few days ago.
Robin Williams admits his finances are far from a laughing matter.
The comedian has been left on the verge of bankruptcy after two costly divorces.
The 62-year-old is returning to TV and selling his $35 million house to help cover his debts.
“The idea of having a steady job is appealing,” Williams told Parade magazine.
“There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way. I’m selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can’t afford it anymore.”
The Mrs Doubtfire star divorced his first wife in 1988 and ended his second marriage with Marsha Garces in 2008 after 19 years.
“Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it ‘all the money’, but they changed it to ‘alimony’. It’s ripping your heart out through your wallet,” Williams said.
He’s currently married to graphic designer Susan Schneider who he tied the knot with in 2011.
The Oscar winning actor will star alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar in a new TV show called The Crazy Ones which will debut in the US on September 26.
I’ve been playing Total War series games since Rome Total War first came out back in 2004 and I fell in love, as did many others. It was a revolutionary game by being the first attempt to make such a strategy game on such a massive scale. Over the years the Total War series has expanded and entered many different eras from the Medieval era to the Napoleonic era. Every good franchise though needs to return to its roots so Creative Assembly came out with Rome 2 Total War; I was stoked and wanted to play this game till my fingers fell off, sadly the love affair is short lived.
What I like :
- It’s Rome! I fell in love with the time period before and I still adore it to this day.
- The interface has been given some practical changes since Shogun 2. I can now load up Rome 2 and instantly just launch right back into my campaign
- The campaign map looks beautiful to say the least
What I dislike:
- It’s…unfinished (What a shock). The game is full of glitches, bugs, and crashes to the point that any internet forum is overcome with reports of them.
- I hope you have a supercomputer to run this game or at least $800-$1,200 to spend on building one; the game may not be as demanding as say Battlefield 4 but it still requires a serious build. Here are the specs.
- The AI is still way too passive and dumber than dirt. The AI is extremely passive to any military advancements you’ll make and when they do decide to respond it’s usually with just a ton of poorly equipped armies thrown at you with no organization at all. On the battlefield it’s just as bad, I hate having to chase down fleeing range units and it’s just too easy to defend against waves of soldiers being thrown at you with no tactical planning.
- You can’t win. I have put 30 hours into the game so far and have two campaigns running (Rome and Macedon) and have reached the point where it’s just impossible to continue. The game is a balance between military conquest and keeping your populace fed and happy, sadly once you expand to a certain point the people will just become unhappy. This in turn will halt any expansion and force you to garrison huge armies into provinces to keep everyone happy and under control. Failure to keep the people happy will cause a revolt and unlike Total War’s of old where a revolt is a small pathetic army, a revolt in Rome 2 is a closer to a full scale invasion force.
- The graphics don’t resemble those of a finished $60 game that requires the computing power of god to run. Honestly, Medieval Total War 2, a now seven year old game, would look better than this running on max settings
I really really wanted to love this game and finally get a finished product from Creative Assembly but they just failed to deliver. I’m stuck with a buggy and unfinished product again and am currently waiting for them or the modding community to fix this game. If you really want this game wait till Christmas time when it drops in price but, if you can’t wait I’d suggest going to the www.twcenter.net and finding a mod to overhaul this game.
On Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel brought an end to all the conspiracies surrounding the authenticity of a YouTube Twerking video gone viral. In the video, “Caitlin Heller” tried to impress her boyfriend by doing her best twerking moves. Those moves didn’t turn out too well, as “Caitlin” ended up on fire… literally!
The video, seen over 9,000,000 times on YouTube was an instant hit, but many questioned whether the video was real. Well on Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel explained that he was in fact, behind the whole thing. And “Caitlin” wasn’t really Caitlin, but a stunt actress named Daphne Avalon.
“To the conspiracy theorists on the Internet who thought the video was fake: You were right it was fake,” Kimmel said, while showing an extended version of the video with him putting out the fire.
“We shot the video about two months ago. We put it up and didn’t send it to any TV station. I didn’t tweet it, we didn’t put it on any websites. We just put it up on YouTube and let the magic happen.”
Kimmel is known for his internet pranks. And this one, was genius!
