Transformers is the best popcorn movie of the summer, hands down. Pictured is one of the stars of the movie who magically transforms into a midget when the director, Michael Bay, yells "Cut."

It's about time that someone did.

From an Edwards email:

Thirty seven million Americans live in poverty—one out of every 8 of us. This is a national disgrace.

The millions of Americans who struggle with poverty are all but invisible to the media and to the power brokers in Washington, D.C. That needs to change. Starting today, I will be traveling on the Road to One America—visiting 11 cities in 8 states over 3 days to expose the problem of poverty and highlight our power to solve it. And I am asking you to join me.

Help me expose poverty in America. Send me a picture or a story about poverty you have seen or encountered.

Please send your pictures and stories to info@johnedwards.com.

For the next three days, you can also join me on the Road to One America by checking for the latest photos, videos and blog updates at:

As open letters are all the rage in Hollywoodland, Ol' Lonesome thought he'd try his hand at it.

Dear son of a bitch that sits beside me at the movies,

Fellow, Ol' Lonesome really, really likes going to the talking, indoor picture-shows. I like "Harry Potter" and "Spiderman" and "Macon County Line" and "Cannonball Run" and even "Wings Of Desire." But sir and, or madam, please don't talk on your cellular phone while I'm looking at a motion picture. Heck, it's just plain rude. Also, please don't be typing messages on your fancy typing phone blueberry machines while the movie is playing. Please......

Keep it up and you might just find yourself on the stinging end of an ass whoopin'.

Best Regards,
Lonesome Rhodes



That's me....lookin' mighty stern.

What's hotter than Dolly Parton mud-wrasslin' Barbara Mandrell? Well, not much, but the following come darn close:

HOT SNOT

1. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman Vol. 1: Rent this NOW--quite possibly one of THE best shows ever. Mary Kay Place as Loretta Haggers...hell yeah!
2. Fish Tacos at Fajita Express Mesquite in Aberdeen, MS: We call it The Fajita Mosquito.
3. The Pierces/Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge: The only reason not to like this album is because you are an idiot.
4. The OC in reruns on SOAP: Now, you can hang with Seth and the gang everyday, which makes me believe there is a God.
5. Heroes AND Friday Night Lights on DVD August 28: Don't call me during September
6. Welcome Back Kotter reruns on ALN: Dude, they also show Chico and the Man AND Hill Street Blues!
7. The Residents/Eskimo: Art rock as it should be---cold and distant.
8. Paste Magazine--It just keeps on getting better
9. Nigella Lawson (Nigella Bites): It's like I'm going through puberty number two
10. The Dirt by Motley Crue: Read it again for the first time....
    

Cold Boogers:
The Smashing Pumpkins: Dude, it's 1995 again. Great! Now, leave me alone....
Gym Class Heroes: Fratastic!
Rolling Stone Magazine: Yawn.......
Posh and Becks

Thanks, Pat.
You helped make Mississippi a lot more beautiful.

I recently tried Pimpjuice (Xtra Strength flavored) for the first time and let me assure you that the energy beverage did nothing to improve my "pimp skills," whatever they may be. In all actuality, it was bright yellowish-green, the same shade as antifreeze, and it tasted like a melted orange Flav-O-Ice combined with one of those candies that comes wrapped like a strawberry and some crushed-up Flintstones Vitamins. After I recovered from the headache that came from being over-caffeinated and under-stimulated, I was severely depressed and I felt like ass. Pimps, playas, hustlers and nerds beware: Pimpjuicing ain't easy. Thanks for nothing, Nelly.



Reeses has introduced a limited edition "cup" entitled "Elvis Peanut Butter and Banana Creme." As much as I love Elvis Costello, I decided to try one. Although I was not completely horrified, it was not an altogether pleasant eating experience. Basically, I like the Reeses cup that is Reeses flavored. I then was told that the item was named for Elvis Presley and that there was a marketing contest coinciding with the product called "Live Like The King." I have been fat and addicted to drugs for so long that the last person I want to live like is Elvis Presley. I have no desire to eat my peanut butter and 'nanner samiches while I'm trying to come down from Quaaludes and get up with amphetamines. Speed-balling has no place in the kitchen.........
