Why Did ‘Love Guru’ Bomb? And Is It Justin Timberlake’s Fault?
The last time Mike Myers starred in a comic film creation all his own, the entirely forgettable “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” the flick opened to a stellar $73 million weekend at the box office. That was six years ago and as we just learned over the weekend, a lot can change in that kind of time. “The Love Guru” opened on Friday to the kind of reviews usually reserved for movies starring Larry the Cable Guy, not to mention an embarrassing 4th-place finish. Perhaps no one sunk the knife deeper th

‘Redneck Woman’ Gretchen Wilson gets GED at 34
Country star Gretchen Wilson has finally gotten her GED. The 34-year-old singer had a hit with her first single, “Redneck Woman”. Wilson is also known to chew tobacco. Despite all her successes, the 34-year-old songwriter was one of 20 percent of Tennesseans without a high school diploma. But no longer. Wilson, who dropped out in ninth grade, passed her General Educational Development exam in April and will don a cap and gown during a May 15 graduation ceremony. Congrats to Wilson for finally

Black Crowes Caw Out Gretchen Wilson for Alleged Song Stealing
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but not when royalties are at stake. The Black Crowes have filed a copyright-infringement suit against country star Gretchen Wilson, accusing the self-dubbed Redneck Woman of ripping off parts of their 1991 hit "Jealous Again" on her new single, "Work Hard, Play Harder." It may only be rock 'n' roll, but it has the brothers Robinson mad enough to file suit not only against Wilson, but against Wilson's label, Sony BMG, the publishing company J Money Musi

Disaster Movie Voted Worst Movie of All Time
Disaster Movie has been voted the worst movie of all time by the users of the Internet Movie Database. The film is currently getting a 1.3 out of 10 rating with 4,066 votes. Earlier this year, Paris Hilton’s The Hottie and the Nottie hit the dreaded #1 spot after only one week of release (the film currently sits at #14). Unlike the Top 250, IMDb’s bottom 100 is always in flux, probably because the amount of votes is a much smaller sample. However, being voted one of the worst films of all time is not
