"...and I enjoy a cocktail or two every now and then"
Up yours, Axl
If you've heard any of those new Guns N' Roses songs that leaked out a few months ago, you'd better bar the door:
A man accused of posting nine previously unreleased songs by the rock band Guns N' Roses on a website where they could be accessed by the public was arrested at his home early today on suspicion of violating federal copyright laws, authorities said.Kevin Cogill, 27, is accused of posting the songs, which were being prepared for commercial release, on the Internet blog Antiquiet in June, according to an arrest affidavit. The site received so much traffic after the songs were posted that it crashed, the affidavit states.
Cogill admitted to posting the songs when he was questioned by an FBI agent, according to the affidavit. He was arrested at his home in Culver City this morning and is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles later today, said Assistant U.S. Atty.
Cogill saw this coming, and even posted an appeal for legal help on his blog Monday.
Hey, here's how to be a rock star: Work on your next album for 15 freaking years, and then, if anybody's still interested in you, throw 'em in jail. See headline.

Cartoons are fun to watch on the television
Remember the Buffy cartoon that never happened? But then a 3-minute clip of it leaked on YouTube a few weeks ago? You know, the one where Buffy jumped off the roof of a building and spin-kicked a vamp in the teeth. And it had all the actors from the live-action show doing the voices, except for the one. (She's too busy making Scooby-Doo 3, or a remake of some crappy Japanese horror flick.)
Well, it's looking like the leak might not have been an accident. The MTV Movies Blog says Joss Whedon and Jeph Loeb are talking about bringing the cartoon back from the dead never-alive:
"The best Buffy stories are ones of resurrection," Joeb said. "Everything still exists — the designs, the scripts. It's such a 'no-duh' project, so why the hell not? All you need is to draw it. Eight years ago, there was no fascination with 'Family Guy' or 'Robot Chicken,' but there's an audience now that could drive to it. You can't stand in the way of pop culture."
Whedon's got some clout after Dr. Horrible, right? There's gotta be somebody who'd be willing to air this.
P.S. Here's why that one girl didn't participate:
"I remember the pitch to me about the cartoon was like, 'She can turn into things and have magical powers.' To me, that wasn't what Buffy was about. To me, Buffy was a real girl. These were metaphors for real demons. This was about how, in high school, the demons of high school literally become these monsters. So I'm not sure why you'd make an animated show. And no one showed me a script."
This has over 15 million hits on YouTube
There's nothing like a good melody...

Good news, bad news
Which do you want first? I don't really care. Here, I'll let you decide which one is good and which one is bad:
Nathan Fillion is coming back to series TV.

Michelle Rodriguez is coming back to Lost.

Did you decide?
Sean Connery's autobiography hits stores
It's called Being a Scot. I wonder if he just slapped some words on the page or hired a ghostwriter to punch it up? I wonder if he talks any smack? Well, it's sure to be a hit. Wait, I already did that one. I mean, it'll be a smash!

I like this video for three reasons
1. It's a good song.
2. Jorma from The Lonely Island is in it.
3. The CGI is by Image Metrics, who did that creepily lifelike "Emily" video everybody's talking about.
You know you're old when you say, "Remember when MTV used to show videos?" And you know you're almost as old as the people you laugh at for being old when you say, "Remember when MTV2 used to show videos?"
