Strike Special, Wesley Snipes victim of racist injustice and Britney and Christian stupid it out.

If the writers on strike can only muster slogans such as “Give Us Our Word’s Worth” or “We’re not getting a Whit, man”, it’s probably a decent thing they’re on hiatus. Seriously, one sign read: “The Winter of our Dissed Content” And as news trickles in that Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and dozens of other must-see tube-distractions are "pausing", it becomes harder to convince me it’s a bad thing. Though spare a thought for the innocent victims: LA’s coffee shops, which have been complaining of fewer laptop-wielding type-smiths frequenting their establishments, causing a decline in sales! Most in danger are exclusives Joe servers like The Office, where for $500/month you can get 24 hour access to their muse-like hot beverages. As ludicrous as it sounds.

Wesley Snipes has claimed that Florida is too racist for him to get a fair trial. Up on tax evasion charges, the Blade: Trinity actor believes that prosecutors “deliberately chose the most racially discriminatory venue available to the government with the best possibility of an all-white Southern jury”. Remember that Passenger 57 line “Always bet on black”? Ha. The motion to move the trial to New York describes the area as a hotbed of Klan activity where the Klan adopted highways to commemorate the Klan and the Confederate flag flies over government property", where no fair trial could take place. This Snipes-focused negativity explained by racism was once unfairly attributed to his role in Money Train. The Chief Assistant State Attorney dismissed the argument, saying “I’ve never seen any evidence that there was racism here any more than anywhere else in the country”. How reassuring. “I think a person can get as fair a trial here as anywhere”. Need I say more?

As previously stated, Britney is too easy a target for me to do anything but report her actions. So the other day, she’s driving with her kids in the car and she ran a red light at “a particularly dangerous intersection”. Best part: her court-assigned parenting coach was also in the car. Perhaps better: she was also texting on her cell.

New member of the Stupidity Immunity Club is Christina Aguilera, who has claimed she would wear her crotchless chaps from the ‘Dirrty’ video again when she was 60.

Bad Movies That Are Soon To Be Franchises
i) The sequel to a TV remake of a toy adaptation that is Transformers 2: auteur Michael Bay talks about those infamous script leakers ... “We're going to leak a lot of false information all over the place. I now know their game. They're going to get a lot of script treatments that they think are going to be the script. They will never see the script. We've got scripts and treatments written up that we're going to leak. No one's going to know." The new being that this will mark the first time Michael Bay has directed from an actual script.
ii) a Paul Verhoeven (Showgirls, Hollow Man) helmed sequel to the Thomas Crown Affair, which is itself a remake of crime caper Topkapi. Where has all the originality gone? Clint Howard replaces Pierce Brosnan. I wish. But Angelina Jolie does replace Rene Russo.
iii) a prequel to Tim Burton’s The Planet of the Apes remake. Currently shopping for a director, so feel free to submit your bid. A sequel was out of the question, since everyone's spent six years trying to forget Burton's turkey, and the ending chosen out of a hat after five others were shot.
