The World For Now. Mostly British People

Apparently, Meryl Streep once lived on the street in London because she couldn’t afford a place to stay. So, next time you’re walking down the street, and you say to yourself: “hey… that homeless woman looks like Meryl Streep!”
…you should probably check again.

Also, Sir Ian McKellan has recently announced plans to appear nude on US TV. It’s not for a show or anything, he just plans to streak next year at Wimbledon.
Not to make a bad Lord of the Rings joke, but that would be a whole different sort of magic wand.

In political news, Arnold Schwarzenegger has backed Barack Obama. In a move many did not see coming, Arnold has said, as a public servant, in order to help the country, he would “take [Obama’s] call now and I’d take his call when he’s President”. He has also said he would be willing to help to advise the candidate.
And, let me point this out to everybody:
Arnold said “when he’s President”. Not “if he’s President”.
(The Schwarzenegger has also said he would also happily bench-press the DNC for their enjoyment.)

This past week, Jack Black signed on to make a sequel to his 2003 comedy, “School of Rock”. The next film will be directed by Richard Linklater and it tentatively titled: “School of Rock 2: Paying off Someone’s Mortgage”.

Keep Reading for My Complaints about Piers Morgan!

Now, I didn’t know Piers Morgan was a judge on “Americas Got Talent”; I just found out. But, I guess that seems logical as he was editor for the Daily Mirror, a publication that’s not even popular in London where it circulates.
Frankly, your publication was a piece of shit, Piers. When you’re not getting slammed by Ian Hislop on Have I Got News for You, the general public don’t want to see or hear about you on television.

Mr. Morgan is in the news currently because he made public statements complaining about Hugh Grant and saying he doesn’t feel sorry for celebrities, like Lindsay Lohan, who: “who’ve got loads of money and still behave badly”.
Well, that’s good. I don’t feel very sorry for failed editors who cop out to reality TV programs and bitch about the fact that their own paparazzi abusing, celeb-worshipping, bullshit-churning careers turns out horrible situations like the Lohan debacle.

Congratulations, Mr. Morgan; you have successfully suckled at the teat of the devil and you’re an asshole (none the better for your decisions). I hope you consider yourself a success.
