Jared Leto is upset with Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘Joker’

October 10, 2019 | Tim Virgin

Jared Leto reportedly was not too pleased with the recently released ‘Joker’ which starred Joaquin Phoenix in well-reviewed take on the ‘clown prince of crime’. The Hollywood Reporter in an article today reports that Leto was “alienated and upset” when the film got the green light to be produced. Leto had previously played the Joker role in another DC Comics-inspired film 2016’s ‘Suicide Squad’. In the article, Leto remarked that his performance in the film was “isolated” and he felt he “was off in the corner of the cafeteria watching all the other kids.”

The same article focuses mainly on the creative success of the film which despite controversy and how film legend Martin Scorsese almost ended up directing the film. Read it here. 

No matter, Leto still kicks ass with 30 Seconds to Mars.

Kurt Cobain’s unwashed sweater from ‘MTV Unplugged’ is up for sale

October 10, 2019 | Kevin

Would you wear a sweater that has not been washed in 26 years? Most likely you would say no. Would you wear it if that sweater was worn by Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain during his classic performance that was recorded for ‘MTV Unplugged’.

“It’s very important that we don’t wash it,” Darren Julien of Julien’s Auctions told Rolling Stone. “The stains are still there. There’s even cigarettes burns that you can see on the sweater.” The same auction house sold the sweater in 2015 for a winning bid of

$137,500, far exceeding the sweater’s pre-auction estimate of $60,000. How much do you think it will go for now?  Should items like this even be up for auction?

Green Day on ice

October 10, 2019 | <3 Lauren

The 2019 premiere of “Wednesday Night Hockey” on NBCSN brings a new song from the pop punk legends from Northern California.

‘Fire, Ready, Aim’ is the new official intro for NBC Sports’ Wednesday Night Hockey.

Wonder if Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool can knock a puck around?

“How many trolls does it take to screw in a lightbulb? The answer is Fire Ready Aim! A new tune for the loons! This song is about our daily outrage.” – Green Day

Check out the video for the second offering of their forthcoming 13th studio album…

We will have Father Of All Motherf****** on February 7.  <3 Lauren

Flight deplanes after alleged drunk throws up in girl’s hair

October 10, 2019 | JVO

Add this to the list of air travel stories that make a strong case for road tripping: A flight to Baltimore from Chicago had to deplane before takeoff because an allegedly drunk passenger barfed in another passenger’s hair.

Twitter user @cassidy44 caught some of the awfulness on her account.
