The 15-strong team working on Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents spent a ten day gap between filming partying on the beach and drinking, as well as relaxing in a five star hotel. They had been filming the BBC3 series, which follows teenagers on their first holiday abroad without their parents, who can secretly watch them. But filming was reportedly scrapped when the three boys they were focusing on realised what was happening. With ten days left before filming for the next documentary started, the crew decided to spend their time partying, spending their time on a yacht and in bars....

As is the usual case, there were a number of unworthy contestants for our Jerk of the Week honors. From Obama and his demonstrated weakness to Congress getting Obamacare waivers to property management companies trying to banish the Second Amendment (which has failed), there were quite a few who could have been chose. However, our choice this week truly represents the utter hypocrisy of the progressive liberal. Therefore our Jerk of the Week is Matt Damon. Matt Damon has long been a progressive liberal moonbat, believing that America is a terrible place. He loves the work of noted anti-American author...

Director Ridley Scott will release his new movie The Counselor on October 25, and it tells the story of a respected attorney (an oxymoron?) who becomes involved with the narco world. Of course, it's going to be difficult to suspend disbelief to enjoy the flick. After all, the premise that the legal profession becomes entangled with organized crime is totally absurd. After all, members of the bar are officers of the court for goodness' sake. What's next for Hollywood? Evidence-planting cops? Bribe-taking politicians? Case-fixing judges? It may be a wicked world but surely dirty lawyers aren't part of it. Shame...

"Well, now we just may know where Google's ad revenue went: Yelp and Facebook. Google (GOOG) missed Wall Street's consensus for reasons attributed to a decrease in the price of mobile ad revenues. A recent Forbes column by Contributor Robert Hof indicated that mobile ads were already 40% less than prices for ads served on desktop computers and his opinion as to why they continue to decline may be that Google is offering more of them, which could be pushing the prices down as a corollary. Conjecture that was not put forward in Mr. Hof's column was that advertisers have...

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A Chinese trade association may owe over $100 million in unpaid royalties to several of Hollywood’s biggest studios, according to a report. The China Film Group, which handles theatrical film distribution throughout China, has delayed payments for box office receipts on some of the Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, including “Man of Steel”, “Skyfall”, and “Star Trek Into Darkness”, The Hollywood Reporter reported Tuesday. Studios haven’t been paid since late 2012 allegedly over a 2 percent value-added tax, which the China Film Group – a government-controlled entity that determines which films get released in China – wants the...

Bryan Zuriff, the executive producer of the Showtime drama Ray Donovan, pleaded guilty in a federal court to his role in gambling operations with suspected ties to the Russian Mafia which took sports bets and ran poker tables for the fabulous people in Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY as reported by the Daily News. Earlier this year the feds indicted 34 defendants for their alleged roles in the gambling schemes, and Zuriff is the first to plead guilty. The 44-year-old degenerate gambler agreed to forfeit $500,000, and faces up to five years in prison when sentenced on November...

National Geographic premieres its six-part series Inside The American Mob on Sunday July 28 which is put together with "recently declassified files, first-person accounts by federal officials and the mafioso themselves, and rare archival footage." The series begins with "Stayin' Alive in The '70s" which recounts the so-called Golden Age of the Five Families in New York during a time when the mob operated with virtual impunity, and concludes with "Rise & Fall Of Gotti" whom by 1990 the FBI had declared "public enemy number 1."

News that George Zimmerman helped save a Floridian trapped under an overturned truck just days after being acquitted in the Trayvon Martin murder trial, has been met with an overly healthy dose of skepticism on Twitter. As anyone can easily discover with a simple search of “Zimmerman caused,” hundreds of Twitter users find it suspect that the former defendant just happened upon an “accident” and saved the day. Almost as quickly as the original conspiracy theories began to swirl, conservatives on Twitter hijacked the narrative, using the hashtag #MSNBCTonight to predict how that network will further the “Zimmerman caused” story...

Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why. Several months ago, I watched a fun-filled video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. Since then, I’ve obsessed over this concept, working to complete what I call “The Pixar Theory,” a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme. This theory covers every Pixar production since Toy Story. That includes: • A Bug’s Life • Toy Story 2 • Monsters Inc. • Finding Nemo...

Palestinian Authority TV continues to promote Islam-based hate speech and Antisemitism, voiced by little children. In this latest example, two sisters recited a poem that included the following demonization of Jews: (video at link) "You who murdered Allah's pious prophets (i.e., Jews in Islamic tradition) Oh, you who were brought up on spilling blood You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations Oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs."   The poem also taught that Jerusalem is not for Jews, because Jerusalem "vomits" out the Jews who are said to be "filth" and...

Well, the cable news networks are non stop with their coverage of the air crash in San Francisco. Looking at the pictures, it seems a miracle that the number of fatalities is so low. If there is one unintended consequence of this crash..at least we will be spared talk about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman for the next few days. As the networks are talking aviation and nothing but, I thought it would be a slight diversion to discuss our favorite aviation themed movies.

I am reading that the film "Grapes of Wrath" will be re made. It’s a Dreamworks/Spielberg plan. I am so heartily sick to death of the Hollywood smarmy and criminally skewed interpretation of American life and American history. I don’t even want to think of the Liberal orgy of ‘I hate America’ this will be. All the while they are cashing in and living like royalty for ritually subverting the historical facts. Capitalism works… the inevitable boom and bust cycles are what hard working people save for and the reason that credit should always be avoided like poison. However,...

Wendy and Tom Montgomery are devout Mormons from California who pounded on doors in 2008 to support the passage of Proposition 8, the state referendum that overturned the ruling that allowed same-sex couples to marry in California, and is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. They did so not knowing that their now 14-year-old son, Jordan, was gay and would later contemplate suicide because of the church's steadfast belief that homosexuality is a sin that would cut him off from his family not only here on earth but in the afterlife. "One of core tenets we believe in as Mormons...

Reporters have always been comfortable ignoring their sources’ motives. Now everybody else needs to get used to that. Miriam Elder@MiriamElder Snowden welcome party One of the most difficult features of the new news environment is that everybody gets to see the utter mess of the early hours of a breaking news story — the chaos, the bad information off the scanner, the misidentifications. Those are things that used to take place inside the newsroom or, at worst, be swept away on the unrecorded broadcast airwaves. There is now a heated debate over the moral status of Edward Snowden — who...

According to Chris Matthews, pro-Second Amendment Americans are weird, not "normal," "obsessed" and probably racist. In a segment on Thursday's Hardball, the cable host played a new National Rifle Association ad attacking Democratic Senator Joe Manchin. Matthews lectured, "The gun people, they think about nothing else. And they never change their minds, never change their attitudes and never change the frickin' subject."

A new teaser video released this afternoon shows a slew of celebrities and activists rallying in support of military whistleblower Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, whose trial for leaking 700,000 secret documents to WikiLeaks began today. “I am Bradley Manning” is the tagline of the PSA created by the eponymous group and featuring supportive celebrities like filmmaker Oliver Stone; actors Russell Brand, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Wallace Shawn; musicians Tom Morello and Moby; and journalists Phil Donahue, Matt Taibbi, and Chris Hedges. Each speaker takes their turn declaring that they or we “are all Bradley Manning,” imploring viewers to put...

Looks like interesting movie... If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home. In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—becomes legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It’s one night...

If you have any lingering doubts about which way MSNBC “leans,” you don’t need to look any farther than the cable channel’s coverage of President Obama’s speech on Thursday regarding foreign relations and national security. At times, it seemed that each MSNBC host or contributor was trying to outdo the other with fawning cheers over the latest address from the Democratic occupant of the White House, ranging from “momentous” to “remarkable.” …

My e-mail: Dear Sir, Your decision to terminate Reporter Larry Conners after he was abused by the IRS for asking probing questions of Mr. Obama is shameful, to say the least. This action proves to millions of viewers and others that the press is so far in the tank for the Obama administration and the Left in general that they don't realize they've grown gills. Hopefully, your station will either go out of business, lose their license or be sold to someone concerned with journalism, not partisanship. Also, I hope that you and anyone else responsible for this decision will...

Saul Goodman, is that you? Apparently, you don't have to be a fictional lawyer on a tv series in order to break bad. Marco Antonio Delgado, a 46-year-old lawyer from El Paso, TX, goes to trial next week on alleged charges that he conspired to launder $600 million for the Milenio cartel or Cártel de los Valencia by drafting fake court papers representing that cash proceeds were from legal settlements when in fact they were drug receipts as reported by Torsten Ove for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It's funny because organized crime cannot exist without dirty lawyers. The accused lawyer has...

Supply-siders, led by Arthur Laffer, have made the case that taxes affect behavior — a proposition rejected by the Obama Administration until now. In a closed-door meeting at the White House, Vice-President Biden endorsed a new tax on violence, a move that would force film producers, writers and software developers to reconsider the material they are creating. In essence, Mr. Biden is conceding that a higher tax would impede development and encourage creators to move their energies toward other endeavors. According to participants in the meeting, the vice president endorsed evangelical preacher Franklin Graham’s proposal to tax movies, books and...

During an “Ask Me Anything” event on Reddit today, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow admitted that she was a fan of FOX News anchor Shepard Smith citing his “anchorman gravitas.” Maddow was asked by a Reddit user if she admired any anchors from other cable news channels. “I really like the way Shep Smith balances anchorman gravitas… with a willingness to put the artifice aside and acknowledge what it really going on,” Maddow explained. “Some of us can pull off seeming like human beings on TV, some of us can pull off V.O.G.

Sarah Palin's totem is the mama grizzly, and her admirers are as protective of her as the fabled bear is of her cubs. Their target today is the resurgent Netflix (NFLX), which reported its first quarter results earlier this week. Twitchy -- conservative commentator Mchelle Malkin's Twitter monitor/controversy generator -- reports that the hashtag #SarahPalinFilms arose on Tuesday night, attributing it to "lefties" whose apparent dismissiveness towards Palin is belied by their purported obsession with her: "You know, because her 15 minutes have come and gone and she's totally not living rent-free in their heads." #Sarcasm.

The petition reads: Chris Broussard's hateful attack on Jason Collins for being gay was an unacceptable misrepresentation of the Christian faith. ESPN must immediately suspend Chris Broussard and guarantee that their network will never again be used for gay bashing.

One of the most interesting conversations I ever had was with a fellow college student named Bob. Bob and I enjoyed talking about all the great issues of life.

Former Alaska Governor and Nuclear Football Near-Miss Sarah Palin joined the predictable chorus of bitter White House Correspondents’ Dinner non-invitees Saturday night by tweeting her ass-heavy misgivings about the event, inviting an even more predictable revelation of her own hypocrisy. On Monday’s Martin Bashir show, host Martin Bashir pointed out that Palin had smeared her own kin with assclownery, but also added a bit of canny career advice for the fading pit bull.

It used to be that whenever an important news story broke, cable television viewers would quickly turn to CNN for must-see coverage of what was happening. However, according to a poll conducted regarding the five-day coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, that is definitely no longer the case. The survey, which was conducted by the liberal Huffington Post website and the international marketing agency YouGov, determined that former titan CNN came in as far less trustworthy than Fox News over which was the most believable cable news channel. During the poll, which was based on interviews of 1,000 adults last...

The response to anything Governor Palin tweets, writes, or says is often akin to Pavlov ringing the bell to feed his dog. She tweets, and the hounds come running. The Governor’s tweet on Saturday rightly calling out the “Let Them Eat Cake” mentality of both the “a**clown” press and politicians in DC garnered a lot of pearl clutching fauxrage from the Left and some of the “me too” pseudo-conservatives.
