[Music] Mike Portnoy quits Dream Theater

Garlic butter sau — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:18:28 GMT

Don't know how many fellow metal heads are here, but this is pretty big news.

Drummer Mike Portnoy of progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER has released the following statement:

"I am about to write something I never imagined I'd ever write.

"After 25 years, I have decided to leave DREAM THEATER... the band I founded, led and truly loved for a quarter of a century.

"To many people this will come as a complete shock, and will also likely be misunderstood by some, but please believe me that it is not a hasty decision...it is something I have struggled with for the last year or so....

"After having had such amazing experiences playing with HAIL!, TRANSATLANTIC and AVENGED SEVENFOLD this past year, I have sadly come to the conclusion that I have recently had more fun and better personal relations with these other projects than I have for a while now in DREAM THEATER.

[TV] The Stig is revealed

DeltaDeuce — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:02:42 GMT

LONDON � The opaque visor of one of Britain's most famous helmets has been lifted.
The identity of The Stig, the always-anonymous test driver on the popular television show "Top Gear," has long been a closely guarded secret. On Wednesday, lawyers said the BBC had been refused an injunction blocking publication of a book revealing the identity of the character.
Shortly after, publishers HarperCollins said in a statement that a 33-year-old racing driver named Ben Collins "has a great story to tell about his seven years as The Stig, which will appeal to a wide audience beyond just motoring enthusiasts."
Calling it a "victory for freedom of speech," HarperCollins said the book will be published in Britain on Sept. 16.
The white-suited Stig is the second in the role; the first Stig, who wore a black suit and helmet, was Perry McCarthy. He left the show in 2003 after his identity was revealed.
The show has a long-standing policy of not commenting on The Stig's identity. A "Top Gear" spokeswoman said no decision has been made on whether the character will be back when the show returns.
"Top Gear" is one of the BBC's most successful programs, and is seen in more than 100 countries around the world. Alongside the show's three garrulous hosts, The Stig is an always-silent presence, fearlessly navigating the show's test track in glamorous cars.
Speculation over his identity is a favorite pastime for fans of the show, and the "Top Gear" website sells T-shirts proclaiming "I am The Stig," "I am not The Stig," and "I am The Stig's fat cousin," among others.
"The whole point of The Stig is the mystique — the bizarre characteristics he has, the wonderment created about what he might think, feel, do or look like," producer Andy Wilman said in a post on the show's website. "Kids adore the conceit, and I believe adults, although they know it's a man in a suit (or is it?) gladly buy into the whole conceit because they find it entertaining."
The Stig's Facebook page — which more than 2.5 million people "like" — says he was recently attacked by a goose, that his ears "are not where you would expect them to be," and that he thinks the movie "Star Wars" is a documentary.
The BBC said it sought the injunction — the hearing was held in private — because viewers like the mystery surrounding the driver's identity and it's "vital to protect the character of The Stig."
The broadcaster said that the judgment does not prevent them from taking the issue further in the courts.
'The BBC will not be deterred from protecting such information from attack no matter when or by whom it should arise," the broadcaster said in a statement.
Collins' website says he has raced on the Formula Three and NASCAR circuits, and drove James Bond's Aston Martin in the 2008 film "Quantum of Solace."

[TV] Comedy Central's Roast:

Farside — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:18:46 GMT

David Hasselhoff

Anyone see it last night?
It had some really good lines.
(I'm guessing O&A talked about it today but I didn't listen so..)

on Hoff's liver:
so black and bloated it could have starred in Precious
so shriveled, black and dead that if you put your ear to Hoff's side you would hear "wutchoo talkin about, Willis"

on Pam Anderson:
Her tits are big, then small, then big again... she's had more surgeries than Roger Ebert.
I've jerked off to you so much I've dropped more seed than Mohamed Ali at a bird feeder.
She's fucked Brett Michaels, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock... just save your time and drink a vat of Magic Johnson's blood. (Whitney Cummings had that line... she followed that line with) oh and Hulk Hogan... all these jokes apply to your daughter too. (crowd reaction was priceless)

on Lisa Lampanelli:
Where are all these black guys you're fucking? No black guy would be caught dead inside something the size of a slave ship.
Lisa did have an important part in African American history though... the last black man seen picking cotton was yanking a tampon out of her cunt.
