Monday nights have never been so good. We've had many a good start to the week checking out new bands at the Barfly, but tonight we were treated to two recent favourites and a New Zealand band who have never failed to impress.
So tonight we're in the mood for giving out prizes.
Brad Pitt has spend the last few months flying around the world helping Angelina Jolie adopt all kinds of refugee children, but Angelina has been getting all of the credit. Well, that was the case, at least.
On Friday Brad Pitt filed a petition in a Los Angeles court to become the adoptive father of Angelina Jolie's adopted kids. Pending approval, the children will be known as Maddox Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt. Is this a sign that Brad and Angelina are actually, you know, together? Don't be daft.
Let’s knock the good quote out of the way from the get go. According to Chad Sexton, drummer for 311 the following occurred. Scott Stapp:
“…came into the Harbor Court Hotel bar while Sexton and bandmates SA Martinez and P-Nut were watching basketball on television. He stepped in front of the screen and said, '311, I am ready to fight.'â€
If that don’t beat all.
What a crazy old time the cast of Lost are having.
Not only do they have to stand around a beach all day taking part in slickly-choreographed fist-fights, but it now seems that some of the general oddness of Lost is seeping into their everyday lives like some spooky alternative reality. Or something.
Firstly - earlier this year - Lost actor Josh Holloway (long-haired conman-type Sawyer) was held up at gunpoint in his very own home.
And now? Now two other stars of Lost have only gone and got themselves arrested for drink-driving.
Haven't they seen that advert where that lady smashes herself into a bar?
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire is still sitting at the top of the US weekend box office chart. The cash from which JK Rowling plans to pay for flesh-masks of herself to be stitched onto the face of the first-born child of every family in the world.
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire beat off that rarest of finds to stay top of the weekend box-office - a movie starring Charlize Theron where she doesn't try to muck her face up.
Sorry girls - mascara-smeared, prosthetic-breasted, crucifix-loving, swearing, screaming, 1980s goth rip-off singer Marilyn Manson is off the market.
Manson got married to his long-term girlfriend Dita Von Teese at the weekend - and the ceremony, which took place in Ireland, was full of the usual 'woo, aren't I scary and subversive and clever' Marilyn Manson touches. Like having a Best Man and a Worst Man. Oh man, that guy is just crazy.
Now that we all know that Daniel Craig is going to be the new Timothy Dalton James Bond, it's time to look for a new Bond Girl, and it looks like Charlize Theron is the favourite to take the job.
All manner of actresses have seen their names attached to the vacant Bong Girl role in Casino Royale - some were wishful thinking on the studio's part, and others were punted about by lame-o actresses desperate for work themselves. But the director of Casino Royale has his own ideas - if it was up to him, he'd give the role to Charlize Theron.
It's Monday lunchtime, and in the hecklerspray offices that means only one thing: cocktails!
If only that were true - usually we've blown the entire cocktail stash by 10:15am, so by lunchtime we have to play cocktail-based online games instead. And they don't come any better than the DrinkOn Cocktail Game. All you have to do is steer an olive around a glass and
