Joss Whedon Multitasking Projects Post Buffy: Is Spike Getting His Own Film?
‘’Joss Whedon Multitasking Projects Post Buffy: Is Spike Getting His Own Film?’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright September 27, 2005
With the success of ‘’Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s’’ Creator Joss Whedon’s theatrical release of ‘’Serenity’’, the hit film adaptation of his TV series, ‘’Firefly’’, Whedon has quite a few irons in the fire. One is his film, ‘’Goner’’ which the prolific Whedon hopes to direct. ‘’Goner’’ as Whedon tells ‘’Variety Magazine’’, is ‘’the story of a young woman’s journey that involves a great deal of horror and heroics’’. Meanwhile, Whedon is writing the script for the film version of ‘’Wonder Woman’’ which he will also be directing. But, if ‘’Serenity’’ continues its full steam ahead with fans, there just might be a sequel in the works for Whedon.
And for all you fans of the amazingly talented James Marsters, (us included!), Whedon is playing mum that there may be future plans for a made for TV film showcasing Spike, the sexy Vamp (ire) who brought fresh blood, (pun intended), saving the day (and the ratings), for both ‘’Buffy’’ and it’s spinoff ‘’Angel’’ and who gets our vote for the hottest Nosferatu ever! We want Spike, We want Spike! Hey fans, letter writing campaign please!

Mischa Barton’s on again, off again romance with oil heir Brandon Davis is well...off again. And who better to fill that void than rocker Cisco Adler, from the band Whitestarr, whose father just happens to own the infamous bang your head clubs, The Roxy and Whiskey-A-Go-Go on L.A.’s Sunset Strip. Must be a trend with Hollywood’s acting goddesses cozying up to rockers. Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Coldplay’s Chris Martin. Kate Hudson and hubby Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes. And of course Winona Ryder and Renee Zellweger who must be in a fight to the finish, trying to top one another with a list of scoring with musicians including Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, The White Stripes’ Jack White, Kenny Chesney, etc. etc. etc. Mischa, we LOVE rock and roll, but we still are rooting for you and hot headed Brandon. You do make a delicious looking couple. Besides, Brandon loves escorting you to such cool, rockin’ events as L.A’s Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival, where you got to hang in the VIP area with ALL of the rockers. Much, much better!

"The O.C": Caleb's Will Explodes!
‘’The O.C.’’: Caleb’s Will Explodes!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright September 23, 2005
So…the moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived, the reading of Caleb’s will. And everyone, (us included), is on pins and needles! Well, just hold on there partner, because if you knew what megalomaniac Caleb was leaving, and to who, whom…all who/whom cares!, straight up…then you might change that dial. First a few plot twists my friend.
In last night’s September 22, Episode 3, Sandy tells Ryan to take ‘’a break’’ from seeing Marissa. (Duh, get real!) Julie takes things a step further by giving Marissa an ultimatum, banish Coop to boarding school with her mysteriously ever mentioned, never seen sister, Kaitlin, or stay in Newport but never see Ryan ever again. Uh, Yeah…. Course, Marissa opts to stay at home, but it’s a no brainer that she and Ryan proceed to sneaking around together for daily scorching, canoodle fests.
Meanwhile, good old perennial, likable screw up Jimmy, who last week we learned was in debt up to his eyeballs to some sleazebag, well, the sleaze wants his money…er…yesterday, informing Jimmy that if Jimmy doesn’t pay up pronto, he’s gonna find himself with some major broken legs. Jimmy rushes a ‘’Let’s do it now, why wait’’, marriage proposal to Julie, planning the wedding right after the reading of the will, assuming Caleb left Julie the mother lode of his estate. Jimmy promises the sleaze that he will get his money the following night after the will reading and proposes to Jules that after they get hitched again, that they sail away with Marissa to Hawaii to ‘’start a new life’’, course not letting on to Jules about his shady dealings and fear of winding up in cement overshoes.
Sandy, pays a trip to Kirsten at nutzy Charlotte’s cabin, asking Kirsten to the reading of Caleb’s will, something his already recovering teetotaler wife is hedging on and Charlotte just can’t resist putting a bug in Kirsten’s ear about how the ‘’stress’’ of hearing what’s in that will, might cause Kirsten to nosedive, fall down drunk again.
Marissa takes the news about leaving Newport for Hawaii as something in her life, that is at last going right. Yeah, right. So when she springs the news on Ryan that he will always be her lover man, but that she finally has a shot at having and being a real family, even if it means moving away to pineapple island, which she actually is willing to do, Ryan supports Coop’s decision, but cooks up a plan for a last, unforgettable, romantic night with his woman, like no other.
Ah, you thought we forgot. Nope. Drum roll. The reading of Caleb’s will. Well Kirsten shows, as so does Sandy, Julie, and Jimmy all about to explode with anticipation. So what does Caleb’s lawyer inform them? HA! The joke is on all of them as Caleb was flat broke, in debt to everyone but Jimmy’s sleazebag. Caleb Nichol didn’t have a plug nickel. Jimmy looks as if he’s shit his pants (knowing he will have to renege on his promise to pay off the thug he owes), Julie is pissed (isn’t she ALWAYS anyhow!), and Kirsten, well Caleb left ONE thing. A lone letter, only to her, which throws the recovering lush into a tailspin, as she’s just certain that Caleb’s letter is a final, smug, snarky, ‘’Fuck You’’, so she won’t bother to read it, and she leaves the proceedings, alone, in a huff.
Back at Harbor High School, Seth and Summer have been forced by Dean Asshole (Hess), to put in servitude to power hungry Taylor, who is now Director of Harbor’s Drama Club and it’s stage production of ‘’South Pacific’’, and the couple are assigned chain gang duty as set laborers. Well fuck Hess and Taylor, (metaphor here…not literal cause nobody would ‘’do’’ those snarky tyrants). Summer and Seth ‘’borrow’’ some of the tiki hut stage props and join a starry eyed, horny Ryan in building a candlelight surrounded love nest on the beach, to which Ryan brings Marissa for a sexalicious night of wave pounding passion, fire, desire, climax, Oh…Oh…OH!!!! (Is it hot in here? Lost track there. Where was I?)
To a metaphor inclined, crescendo building music laced montage, we get shots cutting back and forth of Ryan and Marissa’s orgasmatronics, while we see poor Jimmy getting the royal shit kicked out of him as punching bag material by the sleazebag and el sleazo’s thugs for welching on his debt, while Kirsten buys a fifth of vodka and holes herself up with it in a flea bag motel.
Fraught with the delicious moment of truth, hope, (and amor!), finally for Ryan and Marissa who have been through so much, with the two consistently being derailed or kept apart by circumstance, and that the lovebirds have waited 3 seasons for, not only do they deserve this, (WE DO!), as the two at last consummate their love.
Meanwhile our hearts are simultaneously stomped on, wrenched with despair for Jimmy and Kirsten.
As the morning sun shines the next day on a post orgasmic Ryan and Marissa, entwined in each other’s arms, (We just LOVE this stuff. More!), Marissa’s damn cell goes off, prompting her to answer and just guess who it is? Next thing, she and Ryan meet Jimmy on his boat. Jimmy, whose face resembles a blood rare hamburger patty (or one of the zombies in ‘’Night Of The Living Dead’’), oozing, bruising, and half of it knocked clear off, confesses his ‘’pickle’’ to Marissa and that it’s best that he leave for Hawaii, but alone, obviously leaving Julie at the alter. But hey, while Jimmy was losing it, Kirsten was actually getting her shit together. She joyfully arrives home to her steadfast Sandy, announcing that she never touched the vodka (and she’s the ONE person last night who actually told the TRUTH), that she’s never leaving her family again, and she reads Caleb’s letter to her. An apology of all things to the daughter he had final words, only of love for. (Aw, how sweet!)
Oh, and psycho Charlotte, you remember her. Her landlord arrives to inform her that the rent check didn’t clear, asking for cash on the spot and for Charlotte to vacate the cabin. Which Charlotte does in spades, escaping out the back window with the clothes on her back. (Hope that’s the last we’ve seen of the female ‘’Oliver’’).
As for Marissa, well she isn’t going to Hawaii after all, so she and Ryan take a walk, enjoy a luscious, big wet snog, and promise themselves to one another, no matter what’s down the road.
Back at the ranch, Cohen central, we end with the Cohens, where else, but gathering and noshing in the kitchen….Ryan, Seth, Sandy, and Kirsten, ribbing and kibitzing on how crappy things are, but hey, things could be worse. They’re cheering (and we are too!), that they’re one big, dysfunctional, happy, FAMILY again. Booze, fisticuffs, shady dealings with hoodlums and being brainwashed by lying, deceitful psychos, cash shortages. We laugh at such trivial matters. Is that all you’ve got? You can’t break up the mega awesome, oh so cool, Chrismukkah founding, merry making Newport reigning clan. The Cohen’s rule the O.C.!

''The O.C.'': How Many Bitches Can Newport Survive!
‘’The O.C’’: How Many Bitches Can Newport Survive!’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright September 16, 2005
‘’The O.C.’s’’ Julie Cooper must be shouting, a la the film ‘’Highlander’’, there can be only ONE! Bitch that is, in Newport. Or so Julie would like to think that she is the reigning Queen Bee. Guess again. In last night’s September 15, 2nd, season 3 episode, we found the fabulously wealthy town of Newport, overrun not just with bitches, but psycho bitches at that and major league SOB’s. Put up your dukes! It’s a snarky fight to the death!
First we have Taylor Townsend, or ‘’psycho Barbie’’ as Summer has aptly coined Harbor High School’s preppy diva pretender to Marissa’s teen socialite crown and school social chair throne, after Marissa got expelled from school for plugging Ryan’s pain in the ass brother Trey, even if it was to save Ryan from being 86ed by the thug. (Note: scandal and high society supposedly don’t mix, equaling grounds for expulsion…and if you believe that one, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you on the cheap!)
Then comes the real contender to dethrone Julie’s title. Charlotte, the schizoid lush who met Kirsten in alcohol rehab and has conjured a Svengali like hold over Kirsten’s brain cells, convincing our Cohen matriarch, heroine after leaving rehab, to not go home to her family, because according to Charlotte’s ‘’personal experience’’….all lushes relapse, and Kirsten wouldn’t want to go home to fail Sandy, Seth, and Ryan.
Actually, we know Kirsten is just fine and well. It’s Charlotte who is one can short of a six pack, one slice short of a loaf of bread..oh you get the picture! Unbeknownst to Kirsten, Charlotte never dried out at the rehab clinic, or ever, so it seems. After conniving and convincing Kirsten that ‘’it’s for the best’’ for Kirsten to get herself together by staying with whacko Charlotte at Ms. Demented’s secluded cabin in the woods, Charlotte ‘’confides’’, tearfully, hysterically to Kirsten that it is she who needs Kirsten to stay with her so she (Charlotte) can ‘’stay sober’’. As Kirsten walks away, Charlotte dries her phony ass tears, takes a swig of booze from her secret stash, and the manipulative whack job smirks, smugly, sociopath loony tune that she is.
Then we have ultra bastard extraordinaire, Harbor’s new Dean, Jack Hess (as in Nazi, Rudolf Hess!), a man with a mission, which is expelling Marissa (See Paragraph 2!), and then baiting Ryan (seems Hess gets his jollies wanting to expel Ryan too), with supreme jerkdom. Now we all know when you FUCK with Ryan, punches get thrown.
Unfortunately, that’s Hess’s master plan. And when Ryan lands a killer right hook on the SOB, (YEA!! Go Ryan!) for worse yet, fucking with Ryan’s lady love, Marissa, with Hess grabbing, dragging, and pawing her like a lion with a freshly killed gazelle, simply over Marissa stepping onto so called school property, showing up at the school carnival with Ryan, just so she can hang with friends Summer and Seth, and enjoy a big wet snog, lip lock with Ryan on the Ferris Wheel, a la Season One, well fireworks go off, and not the good kind. Fucker Hess gleefully expels Ryan, too, on the spot at the school carnival, in front of all of Harbor’s jaw dropped student body, with a mega snarky, smirking look on his face so smug, we personally wanted to slug it off! Oomph!
Give us some boxing gloves, cause after we’re done kicking psycho bitch, Charlotte’s ass, we’re laying out dickwad Hess. Two for the price of one we say!
So what’s in store for next week? We hear Ryan’s and Marissa’s parents FORBID them to see one another, ever again. Ah yeah…right.
SPOILER ALERT! Ryan and Marissa run away together, on a romantic sexcapade, at their very own canoodling friendly, makeshift beach home and hideaway. Ooh la la!!!!!!!
Tune in right here, all week, and next week. Same channel, same blog, for the further adventures of ‘’The O.C.”!
No smirking, smug assholes allowed!

After conniving and convincing Kirsten that ‘’it’s for the best’’ for Kirsten to get herself together by staying with whacko Charlotte at Ms. Demented’s secluded cabin in the woods, Charlotte ‘’confides’’, tearfully, hysterically to Kirsten that it is she who needs Kirsten to stay with her so she (Charlotte) can ‘’stay sober’’. As Kirsten walks away, Charlotte dries her phony ass tears, takes a swig of booze from her secret stash, and the manipulative whack job smirks, smugly, sociopath loony tune that she is.
Then we have ultra bastard extraordinaire, Harbor’s new Dean, Jack Hess (as in Nazi, Rudolf Hess!), a man with a mission, which is expelling Marissa (See Paragraph 2!), and then baiting Ryan (seems Hess gets his jollies wanting to expel Ryan too), with supreme jerkdom. Now we all know when you FUCK with Ryan, punches get thrown.
Unfortunately, that’s Hess’s master plan. And when Ryan lands a killer right hook on the SOB, (YEA!! Go Ryan!) for worse yet, fucking with Ryan’s lady love, Marissa, with Hess grabbing, dragging, and pawing her like a lion with a freshly killed gazelle, simply over Marissa stepping onto so called school property, showing up at the school carnival with Ryan, just so she can hang with friends Summer and Seth, and enjoy a big wet snog, lip lock with Ryan on the Ferris Wheel, a la Season One, well fireworks go off, and not the good kind. Fucker Hess gleefully expels Ryan, too, on the spot at the school carnival, in front of all of Harbor’s jaw dropped student body, with a mega snarky, smirking look on his face so smug, we personally wanted to slug it off! Oomph!
Give us some boxing gloves, cause after we’re done kicking psycho bitch, Charlotte’s ass, we’re laying out dickwad Hess. Two for the price of one we say!
So what’s in store for next week? We hear Ryan’s and Marissa’s parents FORBID them to see one another, ever again. Ah yeah…right.
SPOILER ALERT! Ryan and Marissa run away together, on a romantic sexcapade, at their very own canoodling friendly, makeshift beach home and hideaway. Ooh la la!!!!!!!
Tune in right here, all week, and next week. Same channel, same blog, for the further adventures of ‘’The O.C.”!
No smirking, smug assholes allowed!

‘’Seal And Heidi Klum Steal Home Plate First With Birth Of Their Son On Monday’’
September is busting out all over..with celebrity babies that is! Britney may have won the ratings race with the birth of her son on Wednesday, but British singer Seal and supermodel wife, babalicious Heidi Klum got to home base first, with the birth of their first child, a son, on Monday, September 12, in Los Angeles. The Fab looking couple named their little dumpling, Henry, and with 2 hot and sexy parents, (Klum is an International Supermodel who has modeled for Victoria’s Secret and the ‘’Sports Illustrated Magazine’’ swimsuit issue, and of course Seal is…well a HOT rocker!), surely little Henry will grow up to be a hot and sexalicious, rock star who models. Congrats are also in order for the very talented Seal and his lovely lady Klum.

''The O.C.'s'' Whip Smart Cracking Return With Season 3 Premiere
‘’The O.C.’s’’ Whip Smart Cracking Return With Season 3 Premiere’’
By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright September 9, 2005
It’s back and better than ever. We CONFESS!!!! You thumb screwed it out of us. ‘’The O.C.’’, the Fox Network’s night time soap is our favorite show, ever since it premiered 3 years ago. (Where does the time go?) Though last year’s 2nd season suffered a dangerously insufferable sophomore slump which can only be attributed to ‘’O.C.’’ creator Josh Schwartz’s brain damage…whoops, sorry!...writer’s block. Either that, he turned seriously stupid, morphing into a lazy ass, Frankenstein monster, lapping up all the press hype over his whip smart, writing, plot, and character development and razor sharp, self aware dialogue in season one, that pulled a strangely catastrophic disappearing act in season 2. But we digress. Apparently, Schwartz has been indulging in truckloads of wheaties, fish….er brain food, by all accounts of our marveled introduction to season 3.
Last night’s September 8, 3rd season opening episode blew away all sordid memories of that god awful 2nd season with all the magnum force impact of Marissa putting a bullet through resident asshole Trey, in the season 2 cliffhanger finale (and the only decent damn episode of that whole season).
Got to admit, in last night’s opener, when dumb ass Trey finally awoke from his coma, to find Julie Cooper (aka Marissa’a mom and the wicked witch of the west…coast that is, and more bad ass than ANY gangsta rapper!), in his hospital room, hovering over him with a look more lethal than Marissa’s gunshot, threatening to smother his ass….mug (same difference), with a pillow for attempting to rape Marissa, causing Marissa’s beloved, Ryan, to tussle with Trey…causing Trey to tar the crap out of Ryan, causing Marissa to shoot Trey just as Trey was about to bash in Ryan’s head with a phone and kill dear Ryan, saving Ryan’s life, (are you getting all this?)….all we could do was cheer….’’Do it! Do it NOW!’’ We even stopped munching on our popcorn we were so enthralled, hoping she would do the misdeed, but Fuck All, she didn’t. (Instead, she paid off Trey with some major Benjamins to pin the rap on Ryan.) Dude, they broke the mold with ice queen, empress of all bitches, Julie Cooper.
Better yet, Marissa, played coy and sexy super sleuth to save her man (yep, poor Ryan got sent to the slammer, and the tightrope suspense was driving us NUTS! as to what would happen to our innocent hero), pulling some detective work that would make ‘’Alias’s’’ super spy, Sidney, proud, worming the truth and a written confession of what REALLY happened, out of Trey for the cops. Trey decided to hightail it out of Dodge, (hope we’re finally rid of the slug), and Ryan was cleared and set free by the fuzz.
With disrespect to season 2, which emphasized geeky Seth’s and ditzy Summer’s bone headed, leaden romance, now, we have a return to form (read: Emphasis) on our favorite, savvy, ‘’Champagne Supernova’’ lovebirds, Ryan’s and Marissa’s sexalicicious romance that made season one, oh, so yummy. It’s back to basics BABY!
Last night, Ryan and Marissa sparked and snogged more deliciously and with all the combustion of Marissa’s real life counterpart, luscious actress Mischa Barton and her real life on again/off again/on again canoodling with billionaire flame, the hot headed Brandon Davis, (much like aka hot headed Ryan Atwood, aka real life actor the sizzling hot hunkarama, Benjamin McKenzie who we will take any day over Davis!).
Oh…and the soundtrack tunes last night…kick ass as always, a signature of ‘’The O.C.’’.
Ryan and Marissa, sitting in O.C., K I S S I N G!!!! Ain’t love grand!

‘’Britney Spears Rumored To be Auctioning Video Rights From Childbirth For Hurricane Relief’’
And in REALLY news of the weird, an unconfirmed rumor is flooding internet sites and radio waves that Britney Spears is auctioning exclusive one time video rights to her live, graphic, hospital delivery room spawning of Satan’s demon seed, and bouncing baby lip syncher to be, for upwards of $7 million!, with 100% of the proceeds to go to the Katrina relief funds. Fact or fiction, while the sentiment behind the gesture is quite a worthy cause, what whackjob would truly pay one cent, much less $7 million for that squirmy freak show? Can’t people just make out a check for $7 million directly to the hurricane relief fund? Well, how about those wild and crazy people who just wanta have fun? Indeed, we know there are some zany, loony birds that will gladly shell out mucho denero dough, for a noble cause, but some just happen to like the addition of a little star treatment, ‘’goody bag’’ thrown in. In this case, that would be Britney’s placenta. UUGGHH!!!!!!! All we can say is, it takes all kinds…and in this case..from the Bizarro World.
