The spirit of BOP News lives on in
This is So Last Week,
our pop culture week-in-review,
presented in a pleasing quiz form.






Will Ferrell is in talks to star in Stranger Than Fiction, a comedy to be directed by Monster’s Ball director Marc Forster. Variety reports that major studios such as Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. are aggressively pursuing the project, which does not have a studio yet. The film, written by Zach Helm, revolves around an IRS auditor whose life is interrupted by the sound of a personal narrator who knows his every thought, feeling and action, including when and where he will die. Winnie the Pooh gonna sue somebody!! We couldn't find a picture of Will Ferrell so we posted one of BOP's founder.





Mr. Plow is a loser, and I think he is a boozer Linda Ronstadt, who at concerts has been dedicating her rendition of the Eagles' "Desperado" to filmmaker Michael Moore and urging her audiences to see his film Fahrenheit 9/11, was literally shown the door at the Aladdin Hotel Saturday night and told never to return. According to a spokeswoman for the hotel, Ronstadt's remarks resulted in a chorus of boos from about half the 5,000-member audience, some of whom stormed out of the theater and demanded refunds. Following her second encore, she was greeted by the hotel's security officers, who escorted her off the property. What’s more shocking than this display of censorship is the fact that 5000 people paid to see a Linda Ronstadt concert.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the new lightning rod of political controversy as the Republican governor of California drew criticism from demorcats for his remarks regarding local lawmakers calling them…”girlie men”. Some democrats have charged the governor with being homophobic and sexist for his comments. The phrase was created for a Saturday Night Live sketch that parodied the heavily accented Austrian-born actor. Arnie has rebutted the dems with a response of “nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaaaa nyaaa”. Yes, you Sodom Heisein! You are ze girlie man, too









""You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.""
