Self confessed HUGE Star Wars fans Wheatus don’t like the title of the next Star Wars movie “Attack of the Clones”. Speaking with entaine.com’s Heiko Schoenborn Brendon Brown says “I like The Phantom Menace, I don’t like Attack of the Clones. It makes it sound like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Like a B grade horror movie. It’s probably going to be a great story and great effects. All the Storm Troopers are clones underneath their helmets. The Emperor in The Phantom Menace used robots but they weren’t reliable, so he had to experiment with Clones. That’s where the Clone… Read more »

When the Vans Warped Tour hit Camden, New Jersey, on Friday, a longstanding Detroit rap rivalry reared up and got its participants, D12 and Esham, evicted from the lineup.

The film, due out early next year, finds Spears’ character, Lucy, on a cross-country adventure seeking musical fame, said Justin Long, who plays her best friend from high school. “It’s like a road trip buddy movie for girls,” said Long, who appeared in “Galaxy Quest” but is best known as Warren Cheswick on the NBC comedy “Ed.” “[Britney] plays a very wide-eyed girl. She’s a great actress. People are going to be surprised.” So how… Read more »

But this time, the announcer suggests that anyone offended by words like “bitch” and “faggot” should turn off their stereos immediately. “We want people to know what the f they gonna hear for the next hour,” D12’s Bizarre said, speaking from the group’s home base of Detroit last week. “It’s our own ghetto public service announcement.” The sextet asks those who keep listening to Devils Night, due Tuesday, not to draw conclusions from what they hear – a request that… Read more »
