BOP Daily News

February 25, 2005


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.






"Go ahead, make my video game." That's exactly what screen legend Clint Eastwood has said to the kind people at Warner Bros Interactive. The Million Dollar Baby auteur has agreed to provide his vocal talents for a video game adaptation of the long-running film franchise that made Clint famous, Dirty Harry Callahan. It's unclear at the moment which of the three upcoming next generation systems will acquire the license for the game, and a multi-platform release is not out of the question. This is not the first time movie talent from a 1970s classic has been utilized. Electronic Arts has the upcoming title The Godfather performing a similar trick. What is unexpected, however, is that Eastwood will be acting in the project and producing through his Malpaso Productions unit. BOP hopes that the project allows us the same opportunity given in The Dead Pool: the ability to kill Jim Carrey. Hey Academy Awards voters, do you feel lucky?





Hey, is that Cher? John Cameron Mitchell, the director of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, has acquired new money for his latest project, Shortbus. Q Television, a California cable network, has agreed to pony up the dough needed to complete the movie. The reason that investors had shied away is the incendiary nature of Shortbus. Amateur actors are paid to perform in explicit gay sex scenes. At this point, BOP feels it is our duty to again point out that Tom Cruise is dating Sofia Vergara, so this story has nothing to do with him no matter what any gay porn star might try to tell you.
Jennifer Lopez continues to demonstrate she is one of the flightiest women in the world. The diva musician cum actress has spent the body of the past eight months denying that she married musician Marc Anthony last June. Now, she has randomly done an about face on her story, perjuring herself regarding previous testimony by now acknowledging she is a blushing bride. Again. Lopez had concerns about being targeted by the media as a serial bride simply because of the pesky fact that she has had three different husbands since 1997 plus another fiance in Ben Affleck. BOP doesn't understand why she would have such concerns about continuing the facade. She's already tricked the media into thinking she's a singer and actress. Making them believe she's single should be an easy task after that. Out of today's images, Clint Eastwood is the only one whose sex we are sure about.
No, wait, that's Cher. Or is it? Speaking of J-Lo, fag hag Hall of Famer Cher recently offered an unrequested opinion about herself during a New Zealand concert. The woman who was married to Greg Allman the entire time she pretended to be part of a happy couple with Sonny Bono took Lopez and Britney Spears to task for their improprieties. "I'm not going to give up show business but I'm going to give up touring because you know there are all of these young girls coming out like Britney and J.Lo. I know. They are hoes, aren't they?" When Cher is questioning your chastity, you know you have reached new lows on the Slut Scale. But doesn't J-Ho-Lo have a nice ring to it?









"Why is New Jersey called 'The Garden State'?"
"Because 'Oil and Petrochemical Refinery State' wouldn't fit on a license plate?"
Previous edition's quote: Scream 3
