Ghost Rider 2? Save yourselves!

Elba, Idris – The British actor will reportedly play “an alcoholic warrior monk” in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, a remake/reboot/sequel/companion piece? to 2007’s Ghost Rider.  Don’t get excited: even if Ghost Rider 2 is 400 times better than Ghost Rider 1, it will still be a horrible piece of crap.

Jasinski, Adam – The guy smart enough to win Season 9 of Big Brother, where he was under nearly total surveillance and in constant isolation from the outside world, will face up to 1 year in prison under nearly total surveillance and in constant isolation from the outside world for not being smart enough to report the $500,000 that millions of people watched him win on public television.  It takes all kinds…

Jones, Brittney – One of the women who claim to have slept with Ashton Kutcher says that he and wife Demi Moore have an open marriage, frequently enjoying threesomes.  Jones says that Demi was mad not about the cheating, but about her lack of participation: “[Ashton] explained that he and Demi had a deal where they had to share lovers. He felt bad that he had been with me and didn’t share.”  Ah yes, the old “If you want to have sex with me again we’ll have to bring my wife in on it” blow-off technique.  Well-played, Mr. Kutcher.

Michaels, Bret – The Rock of Love star will return to VH1 with a new show, Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It.  Michaels says of the show, “[it] balances both of my passions,” which we assume are consuming enormous amounts of liquor, and dodging STD bullets.

Shore, Jersey – Entertainment Weekly recently brought back to light a bit of information reported by CNN in March concerning the premiere of Jersey Shore in Japan, where the reality program is actually translated to MTV Jersey Shore – The New Jersey Life of Macaroni Rascals. This isn’t the first time the Japanese translation of popular television shows has seemed peculiar, as you might recall Survivor (Naked Island Swimsuit Fight), Two and a Half Men (Sad Tales of Criminal and Nerd with Child) and 60 Minutes (Undead Zombie Reporters!).   (Thanks to C.M.)

Wayne, Lil – Near the end of his Rikers Island stint on a gun charge, the rapper has been placed in solitary confinement as punishment for having headphones and an MP3 charger in his cell.  Another inmate reportedly had the actual MP3 player in his possession.  His punishment will reportedly be having nothing but Lil Wayne songs loaded onto the device.
