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.
