Enter the Bruce Lee Museum
July 22, 2008
BLAM to Rock Seattle Bruce Lee single handedly brought the nunchuck back with Enter the Dragon - and now the $50 million Bruce Lee Action Museum (BLAM) plans to give Seattle one city block of pure, concentrated kick ass. That’s not bad for a city known for grunge rock, Starbucks, soggy socks and suicides. Lee lived in Seattle from 1959 to 1964, and daughter Shannon Lee visited the city on July 18 with her mother, Linda Emery, for a grand reception at the Seattle Art Museum. No doubt, Emery revisited the Space Needle: it was where she shared her first date with Lee. Lee died 35 years ago on July 20 and has remained an inspiration and wet dream for anime geeks, martial artists, angsty teens and Hot Topic posters ever since.
Keanu Gets More Plastic for Hollywood
Some may call Keanu Reeves‘ acting wooden, but Reeves is rumored to appear in the title role of the Wachowski Brothers’ Plastic Man, based on the 1940s comic book character who can stretch his limbs to any shape, length and size. But it only has me wondering whether Plastic Man drives a pink convertible to match his girlfriend’s heels.

Beckinsale’s Gender Bender Dream
Kate Beckinsale may be all woman (see her sporting a latex body glove throughout the Underworld movies for evidence), but she admitted recently that her dream role would be to play a man. “The last DVD I bought was The 40 Year Old Virgin,and it made me so want to be a man!” she told Now magazine. “I love the part in the movie when the guy’s sitting in the bar, and the other guy starts flicking him in the balls. Women don’t do that to each other.”
Kilmer: ‘Willow’ Full of Midget Hookups
Val Kilmer reminisced to MTV.com about the ’80s classic cult film, Willow, and his “little people” co-stars. “Do you know that more little people got together in Willow than any time in history?” Kilmer exclaimed. “Not probably. For real. It’s documented. It was crazy. There were little-people wranglers. Because when they would say cut, they would flee and ‘date’ in the middle of the day. Think about that!”
Nicole’s Romance in Fast Lane
Pussycat Dolls’ Nicole Scherzinger has been M.I.A. since shacking up with British Formula One race car driver Lewis Hamilton this year - but the pair is apparently taking a breather so that she can get back into the studio to work on her upcoming album. Her solo album, that is. But, if you’re like everybody else in the world, you probably didn’t notice that she came out with a solo album in the first place. Scherzinger told Female First UK that she didn’t expect to rendez-vous with Hamilton until Christmas, but it’s not like they’re wearing “True Love Waits” rings a la The Jonas Brothers anyway. Expect another Sienna Miller affair in the works!
Actor’s Bachelor Pad for Grabs in NYC
Never Forever star, David Lee McInnnis, is renting out his NYC pad in Park Slope - but the recent power failures there have Brooklynites scrambling to beat the summer heat with (what else?) dry ice. The New York Times reported that over 2,000 customers lost power on Sunday, July 20, and Con Edison arrived to save the day with over eight tons of the Halloween Haunted House favorite. The State of New York requires the company to distribute dry ice to customers when power is unavailable for more than 48 hours. Each customer received a block of ice weighing about six pounds to mete one or two days of faux air conditioning.
Heavenly Jokester Big on The Joker
Heavenly Kings actor, Andrew Lin, is feeling the box office tug from the recent Batman-mania and has posted his own drawing of the Joker (Heath Ledger) online at Daniel Wu’s social networking site, AliveNotDead.com. Lin posted his drawing on Monday, July 21, directly onto his personal blog.
China Bans Stars Who Pretend to Know Politics
Normally, banning celebrities who pretend to know anything about everything political would be considered a lifesaver in many cases … but for China, the government is sick of dealing with self-righteous entertainers who “threaten national sovereignty.” Although regulations just might come short of forcing performers to wear a red tee-shirt that screams, “China rules, Tibet drools,” the nation is definitely smarting after Bjork’s “Free Tibet” outburst during her Shanghai concert, Steven Spielberg flaking-out from the Olympic committee and - of course - Sharon Stone’s glib “karma” rant that sent Dior’s publicity dept. into wave after wave of panic attacks.
Lachey, Simpson Cursed with Jeers
Okay, while Shakira’s vocals are freeing Colombian hostages from FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) in her home country - the US of A is feeling more and more held against their will to witness former pop power couple, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, suck live in public. Lachey, who is still dating Vanessa Minnillo, had a weak premiere of his new High School Musical-based reality show, Get in the Picture; the show fell behind a rerun of America’s Got Talent! Meanwhile, Simpson was booed at her first country concert at Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, July 19, and critics complained that the Texan lacked “a southern sound.” Wow: that’s like Rumer Willis telling you your chin’s too big.
Congratulations, it’s a … Nut?
Soap star Ingo Rademacher and half-Hawaiian fiancée, Ehiku, have named their new son “Peanut Kai.” Yes, as in the creamy, chunky or extra-crunchy variety. “We were calling him that when he was in mommy,” Rademacher told People magazine. “It kind of represented joy and happiness to us. It puts a smile on everyone’s face.” Although Peanut’s middle name is derived from the Hawaiian word for ocean, I’m hoping that Peanut doesn’t live out his namesake when he debuts as a late bloomer in the boys’ locker room. “Peanut Kai” Rademacher was delivered July 11 in Malibu at the couple’s home with the help of a midwife.
Val Kilmer Lets 50 Cent Lullaby His Kids
Felon star, Val Kilmer, refuses to address rapper/co-star 50 Cent by anything else but “Mr. Curtis Jackson,” and he doesn’t care that Fifty had a bounty on his head. “He’s a real genuine, kind man. He made a song for my kids,” Kilmer told MTV.com. Far be it from me to imagine what that song would be like, but if Fifty is buying Kilmer vintage cars on a whim and courting his musical tastes … I’d probably let him sing my kids to sleep, too.
Kate Beckinsale Hates Fish Breath
Kate Beckinsale gets to makeout with hot actors in her movies (all while her husband, director Len Wiseman watches) but admits that being British makes her far too polite to comment on their junior high-worthy faux pas. “I’ve had times when I’ve been hit by somebody’s tongue to the point where I thought I was going to gag,” Beckinsale said in Now magazine. “I wonder how these guys get by with women. I’ve even had someone eat a jar of pickled herrings before they kissed me!” Still, it’s not too bad for the girl who used to be called “Mr. Ed” in grade school. I have no idea what pickled herring tastes like, but it makes garlic fries breath sound like a minty vacation compared to vinegared slime.

不朽的神话!

Mr. Lee’s death, is the loss of the entire film industry, we all miss him and hope he happiness in heaven, happy!
he is the legendary martial artist ‘BRUCE LEE’. people all over the world are trying to compare him with JACKIE CHAN ,JET LI.but initially there is no comparison between them.BRUCE LEE is the legend and his legecy never fall down.reality is that he can kill both within 10 seconds in a fight.sorry for the fans of JACKIE CHAN AND JET LI.but people should try to understand his skill was extraordinary .they should see the movies like fist of fury,chinese connection,return of the dragon and offcource ENTER THE DRAGON.please don’t compare him with JACKIE CHAN AND JET LI .BUT REAL COMPARISON IS BETWEEN JACKIE AND JET LI.BOTH ARE GOOD BUT NOT LIKE BRUCE LEE.
