Another exciting show over at WECB. First order a business - Slumdog news. Now, as may of you may know, Valeria and I have been completely obsessed with the Oscar Winning film (and it's adorable young star, Dev Patel) so you can imagine our excitement when we found out that not only was the DVD coming out at the end of March but it's chocked full of spe
cial features. Luckily for me (but not the DVD distribution business) my sister burned a copy for me so I wouldn't have to spend even more money at Best Buy. Unfortunately, the copy I received did not have any special features except for a couple of weird movie trailers. I figured that maybe somewhere in the burning process she just burned those special features right off! So needless to say I spent the $15 to get myself a real, shelved copy of the disc. Low and behold.... no special features. Being the resourceful woman I am I googled "Slumdog Millionaire special features" and as it turns out I was not alone. You see, Fox had this great idea of making all rental versions void of special features so folks like me would actually buy the thing but they made a little boo-boo and accidentally sent out some of these bad boys to retailers. They have, however, created a site and hotline that angry consumers like myself can call in order to get a replacement disc - just be prepared to feel like you're on 'Millionaire' because there's a questionaire attached to make sure you're not a fraud!Phelps news! Well not the Phelps you're thinking of. Debbie Phelps (affectionately known as 'Mama Phelps')
wrote a book! Now we're giving her the benefit of a doubt as an educator and... a human being and assuming that her book will be written at a slightly higher reading level than that of her son, Olympic golden boy Michael Phelps. I got the chance to see Mama Phelps do a few interviews and although I felt like I was being lectured out by a talk-show host on qualudes, I happen to like this woman - she seems to have a good head on her shoulder and I wouldn't be surprised if she's dispensed some good advice in her day. And ignoring the fact that the cover of the book is basically a stock photo from the post-Olympic glory days, it might be pretty good. The only thing I was disappointed with was some alleged behavior exhibited by Michael. You see, when Mama was on Larry King he read her an article published in the New York Post that described Phelps' frat boy antics - I don't remember much but I distinctly remember "drinking vodka straight out of the bottle" being mentioned multiple times. Now of course at his age Mama Phelps can only do so much to control her boy and we don't know if this actually occurred but if it did all I have to say is -shame on you, Michael! I don't care if you want to do Jell-O shots on your spare time but could you perhaps take a break when you're mother is on her freakin book tour? We've learned the hard way that wherever you go people are watching (and taking pictures with their camera phones) so it's not like we won't find out. Be a good boy and let mommy publicize her book.It pains me so to bring this up but I feel that I must. None other than Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen of Longbranch New Jersey has found himself in a bit of a scandal. According to published reports the Boss has been named in a divorce case as one of the reasons
for the couple deciding to split. You read that right, some... pedestrian has accused my man of having an affair with his wife. Even though the allegation itself is upsetting, as an avid Springsteen fan and an admirer of the epic love between The Boss and his wife - I refuse to believe it! Bruce and Patti are ONE. TRUE. PAIR! The only couple who, to my eyes, has ever seemed more in love was Bruce and Little Steven of the E Street Band - so I think we're safe. People have been throwing around the fact that Bruce and Patti (technically) hooked up when Bruce was married to his first wife Julianne Philips. While I would NEVER condone a man stepping out on his wife, I think the fact that this transgression resulted in an 18 year marriage and 3 children says something. Besides, the person making the allegation is who? Oh that's right, someone who doesn't matter - these are but the ramblings of a jealous man! The "other woman" has also denied the affair which leads me to believe it's all lies because if I met Bruce at a gym and hooked up with him, I'd tell everyone! But that's just me.
