Ego Check For...Jermaine Jackson

Do you know who Jermajesty Jackson is?
Well, he is the youngest son of Jermaine Jackson, and I assume he thought it'd be appropriate to give his son a fictitious name.
Jermajesty isn't even a real name! Jackson apparently thought it'd be smart to fuse two of his favourite things together to create a name for his son: himself and royalty.
And I thought Blanket Jackson was bad.
I feel bad for his grade school teacher who has to read his name aloud every day off the attendance.
How degrading.

In addition, the best part of this finding is a TMZ report I stumbled upon, claiming Jackson can not afford the requested sum of child support because he's "broke as a joke."
How can you name your kid Jermajesty and not provide him with all of the riches he so rightly deserves?

He's a cruel man in every possible way.

The Phoenix Has Risen



Joaquin Phoenix made his triumphant return to The David Letterman Show, one year after his controversial interview on the late night talk show.

He was apologetic to Letterman and confessed to viewers that the entire act was an homage to celebrity and the reality television craze.

Sure?

In case you missed it, here is the interview.

Who is Joaquin Phoenix?



In a recent interview with New York Times, Casey Affleck finally confessed that his new documentary, I'm Still Here, is in fact, merely a performance.
The 'documentary' which chronicles Joaquin Phoenix's transition from successful actor to underground hip-hop rapper has been met with much speculation from critics that the entire story is a sham. Since it's screening at TIFF late last week, the documentary has received several negative reviews.
Last year, Phoenix made his very controversial appearance on the David Letterman show, provoking many viewers to question his sanity. He appeared drug-induced, uninterested and completely unrecognizable. Just like his performance in the documentary, his interview on Letterman was a hoax.
"I never intended to trick anybody," Affleck stated.
What do you mean you never intended to trick anybody? You just admitted to the most popular publication in North America that the concept was completely fabricated. You have been plugging the documentary as if it were a DOCUMENTARY about a REAL person and his new lifestyle, didn't you?
Apparently, he told NY Times he wanted audiences to experience the film’s narrative, about the disintegration of celebrity, without the clutter of preconceived notion.
I guess we'll have to find out for ourselves by actually watching the film. I feel so betrayed because sadly, I really did buy into the whole performance after witnessing the painfully awkward Letterman interview last year.
Phoenix is scheduled to make his first appearance on the Letterman show since last year's tragic appearance, on Sept.22.
Be sure to watch how the truth unfolds!

Two Weeks In Review

I must apologize to all six of my followers for not blogging as of late. It has been a very busy two weeks since I posted my last blog about Conan O'Brien's new self titled show, but rest assured I do have a few contributions coming your way in regards to what has been happening in the world of entertainment.

1) TIFF: Today is the third day of the Toronto International Film Festival, and I have yet to attend a screening! Have you seen any films yet? The festival is highlighting 300 films this year featuring several celebrated actors, who should all be in town as I blog right this second! Robert de Niro, Ellen Page, Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen, Ben Affleck and Hilary Swank, just to name a few.

My friend, Travis Dhanraj is one of this year's reporters for Red Carpet Diaries. On the festivals opening night, he had a chance to shot gun a beer with the actors from Fubar 2. Check out this instant YouTube hit! I'm too proud of him.

2) Stand Up to Cancer Telethon: This very important show for an incredibly important cause aired yesterday on all of the major networks with a little over 10 million viewers tuning in. Actors, singers, journalists and athletes came out to support the cause, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Lance Armstrong, Christina Applegate, and Diane Sawyer. Many celebrities also showed up in honour of Michael Douglas, who was recently diagnosed with stage IV throat cancer.

The telethon was so moving with personal anecdotes from cancer survivors and those who knew cancer vicrims. The show was expected to raise over $100 million but the final results have yet to be confirmed.

3) The Offspring Of Bob Marley Plead Guilty to Drug Charges: Somehow, this comes as no surprise? Makeda Jahnesta Marley plead guilty last Tuesday to a massive grow-op police found inside of her home. Reports say, Marley was removing the plants from her basement when officers arrived at her home on a domestic dispute call. The youngest daughter of the legendary reggae artist, Bob Marley, admitted to the marijuana possession, and sentencing will take place in October.

Charged with two crimes? Marley is definitely keeping her infamous last name alive in the most predictable of ways.

4) Double Rainbow Guy Gets A Job: An amateur who works for Windows Live decided to hire the Double Rainbow Guy for their latest commercial! Paul "Bear" Vasquez, aka THE DOUBLE RAINBOW GUY, can be seen in the latest Windows Live Essential Commercial.

I can't believe he's getting paid for his drug infused antics. Where is the humanity?!?! And again, he looks just as high in the commercial as he sounds in his famous YouTube video. Take a look.
