You Too, Will Be Able to Enjoy True Blood
I'm not just talking about the hit television show, I'm talking about the actual synthetic blood that the vampires drink on True Blood. In a panel at Comic-Con, Alan Ball, the executive producer of True Blood, let the crowd know that they soon will be able to purchase True Blood for themselves. It will be a blood-orange flavored soda that will be available September 10th. Yum! I think True Blood is a great show, and I'm not going to lie, I'm probably going try the soda.

Ryan Reynolds to be Two Superheros
Earlier this year, Ryan Reynolds played Deadpool in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. There has been a lot of talk about a Deadpool spinoff, starring Ryan Reynolds because Deadpool played a large role in the X-Men comics. Now however, Reynolds has been casted to play the Green Lantern in a movie that may possibly premier in the same year as the Deadpool spinoff. While starring in two large movies is very exciting for Reynolds, I think that this will only leave fans confused. I believe that seeing one actor playing two iconic superheroes will only leave fans mixing up the stories because they will have a hard time differentiating between the two superheroes. While they are both very different, I think that the average movie go-er, who is probably not a huge comic book reader, will find it strange that he is playing two different superheros.
As an avid Ryan Reynolds fan, (I loved him in Two Guys, A Girl, And a Pizza Place, Just Friends, Definitely Maybe, and The Proposal) I am happy that he is finally being casted in large blockbuster roles, I just hope that doubling up on the superheroes won't hurt him in the end. Maybe the fact that the characters are so different, Deadpool a literal dead pool of X-men powers, and the Green Lantern a pilot who received a ring of power, will make the dueling superhero roles a good career move. I guess we'll just have to wait and see to see how both the movies promote Reynolds and deal with the possibility of his role as two superheroes, but I am hoping things turn out well.
If you want to read more about his role as both Deadpool and the Green Lantern, here's an article about it.

Streaming: The Latest Way to Access Music
Perez Hilton claims that the music business may not be dead after all.
What does this queen of gossip know about the music business anyways? Don't worry, he based his thoughts off of this article.
A lot of websites are trying a different type of access to new music. When it comes to bands releasing new singles before their albums release, musicians are using websites like purevolume.com, myspace.com, and other outlets to get the music out to fans before they can buy it. This is called streaming. You can listen to songs in their entirety online. This article claims that streaming may be the reason behind illegal downloads going down.
The reason that streaming works well may have to do with the fact that people are spending more time sitting on their computers than doing other things. It has become extremely easy to just open up an extra window with the streaming music and listen while surfing the net. But it also may have to do with the fact that there are so many different ways to buy music outside of just iTunes and CDs now. For example, programs where you pay a monthly fee and can download an unlimited amount of songs have become popular.
MTV has a cool website called The Leak. (check it out at www.mtv.com/music/the_leak/ ) This is a special streaming site where fans can stream albums in entirety a few days before they are released. A fun fact is that All Time Low's second LP, Nothing Personal, that came out on July 7th and was streaming on The Leak a few days before its release and Nothing Personal had the largest leak in the website's history. This is another reason why streaming is a cool idea. It helps companies and people in the industry to track what fans like and what they don't.

Jon Gosselin Moves on Quicky and Designs Children's Clothes
By now I thought all of the Jon and Kate drama would be over with because Jon and Kate finally filed for divorce. Throughout the run of the show I cannot lie; I have been a Jon supporter. I thought Kate was crazy and super-controlling, but to her credit, when you have a lot of kids, if you are not extremely organized and on top of things everything would probably be a disaster. While watching the show I have enjoyed Jon's laid-back perspective on life, and I thought the love for his children was extremely apparent in the way he consistently took care of his kids. I completely understood Jon's point of view on the media, and the fact that he wanted to stop the production of Jon and Kate Plus 8. But even now I must admit that this is a low blow. Jon, just weeks after filing for a divorce with Kate is seen with another woman, who happens to be the daughter of the surgeon who performed Kate's tummy tuck after she had the sextuplets. Over and over again, Jon denied having an affair, but that seems a little unlikely now that he is with this woman so soon after the split. He has decided to pursue a career in creating children's clothing, a career he would have never been able to have without the exposure from the show. If he really wanted separation from the show, I think that it is completely hypocritical of him to pursue a career in children's clothing design. In the past I have been a supporter of Jon, but now I really don't care for either parent, and really have no desire to watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 any longer.

Panic at the Disco, Possible Seperation?
Today, at around 10:30 in the morning, Panic at the Disco posted a blog entry on their myspace saying that they would be splitting up due to creative differences. Ryan Ross, guitarist and vocalist, and Jon Walker, bassist and vocalist, will be leaving the band to persue other projects. Panic at the Disco has assured fans that the album and tour will go on as planned, but how reassuing is that? After the tour and album release, will they split for good? Are Jon and Ryan even going to be playing on the new album that is promised to come out soon? Even though their first and second album sounded completely different I loved them both equally. Some are saying the band is splitting because the the albums were so different and they members couldn't agree on a sound, but I do not think that is true. I think that their sound evolved and both albums are awesome in their down right. The pop/techno feel of the first album is fun to dance to, and the retro-pop feel of their second album demonstrates the artistic ability of the band. I hope that as Panic evolves and the possibilty of new members is eminent, that they continue to make quality music and never stop evolving their music into even better sounds.
Check out the band's myspace to learn more about the seperation.

Through Life and Death, MJ Rumors Still Spread
Through life and Death, MJ rumors still spread
Here are the top rumors about Michael Jackson that are either just stupid, or have some shred of truth.
Michael Jackson faked his own death
Are they fuckin serious. Excuse the language but let the man have his peace. Tupac did not fake his own death. Elvis did not fake his own death. Let them all have their peace. Thank you.
Al Malnik claims he’s the father of all of MJ’s children
This guy is out here saying he’s the father of all his children. He claims he’s also the executor of MJ’s will due to the money he had lent him. I’m guessing he’s trying to get in on some of MJ’s money.
One of several molestation charges
The man is now 29, and claimed he was molested and got a 15 million dollar settlement out of it. Now a judge announces that no charges have ever been filed. Seriously, I think most of the charges against him were false, and the charges were filed as a way for the parents to make quick money by convincing their kids to see things that have never happened.
If you know of any more rumors that you see that you think are just stupid, spread the word. Maybe eventually people will allow him to finally get the rest that many people never let him get.
Overdosing
There are also growing rumors that the doctor overdosed him on morphine or Demerol. It doesn’t help that he has a song called morphine. They also say that he was addicted to it.
Michael Jackson may you finally rest in peace. Your music defined a generation, and you will always live forever within all of us. Thank you for everything. RIP
