The founding member of the Dave Matthews Band has passed away on August 19, 2008.

His death the result of sudden complications from an ATV accident he had back in June of 2008.

Recent updates had noted that he was back home on his ranch in an intensive rehabilitation program to speed up  and encourage his recovery. However, two recent trips to the Virginia hospital drew concerns from fans and band members alike that his medical problems were more than previously reported.

Leroi Moore was 46 years of age and his death will be a loss to music lovers and saxophone fans everywhere. His contribution to the Dave Matthews Band will never be forgotten, and his role as founder of this incredible musical talent will be cherished by fans around the world.

Leroi passed away at the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.

The Dave Matthews Band was in Los Angeles preparing for their concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and their founder was proud to be with them, even though he was unable to perform at this point. The band does not plan on canceling the concert, but rather to perform this one in memory of the man who made the Dave Matthews Band a reality for music lovers around the world.

Now we leave you with just a taste of the music that made us feel, made us love, and made us a little richer along the way. Leroi Moore and Dave Matthews Band with their song, Warehouse. It's an older performance from 2002, but the lyrics, the mood...it simply seemed to fit this somber moment.



The Warehouse Lyrics



So, I'm leaving...
This Warehouse frightens me.
Has me tied up in knots...
Can't rest for a Moment.
Soon, I'm going...
I'm slippin' slow away

Hoping to find something better...
Than I've got inside of here,
And the Warehouse slips away.

Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginnings
 You and I Will fumble around
 in the touches and be sure to...

Leave all the lights on
So we can see the black cat
 changing colors
And who can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide
Turns you around and around

Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million
Slip into the crowd
This question I found in the gap
 in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
Hey, the black cat changing colors
And who can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide
 choose to turn you

And here I sit
Life goes on, end of tunnel,
TV set Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
 And soon I'll fade away,
I'll fade away

But this I admit taste so good
 Hard to believe an end to it
Smell touch feel
How could this rhythm ever quit
 Bags packed on a plane
 Hopefully to heaven, yeah

Shut up, I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone forever
 Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever
you're needing to
 
Keep all your sights on
 Yeah, man, the black cat
changing colors
 It's not the colors that matter
 But that they'll all fade away

Life goes on, end of tunnel,
 TV set Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
 And soon I'll fade away,
 I'll fade away

 This I admit
Seems so good
Hard to believe an end to it
Warehouse is bare
 Nothing at all inside of it
The walls and halls have disappeared
They've disappeared, yeah...

My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here
 My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here

 In a corner was wondering
 If a change could be better than this
 And then I worry...
 Maybe things won't be better
 than they have been

Here in the warehouse
At the Warehouse
 At the Warehouse
How I love to stay here
 At the Warehouse
Every man and woman get alive
 That's our blood down there
Seems poured from the hands of angels
 But trickle into the ground
 Leaves the Warehouse bare and empty

 And my heart's numbered beat
Still echo in this empty room
And the fear wells in me
But nothing seems enough to defend
So I am going away
 I am going away ...to the end.

Rest in Peace Leroi Moore. You are missed.

        

According to John Edwards the "National Enquirer" is total tabloid trash and lies. What? Did I hear that right? The National Enquirer lied about John Edwards being the Baby Daddy. The National Enquirer lied about John Edwards having an affair. The National Enquirer lied about secret rendezvous' in hotels with his mistress.

Wait a minute. Let's take a minute to review:

Fact: John Edwards admitted that he had an affair in 2006 with Rielle Hunter.

Fact: John Edwards was at the Beverly Hilton in a secret rendezvous with Rielle Hunter until 2:30 am, (where he ran away from reporters and hid in a bathroom).

And now we are supposed to believe that "The National Enquirer" lied about the love child as well. Hmmmm, let me think about that a minute.



Something is definitely rotten in Denmark, and North Carolina and California.

What a great lawyer John Edwards is. When asked about the picture of him holding a baby, he responded, "I don't know anything about that picture, that could be me, it looks like me, it could be doctored, I don't know who that baby is."

When asked about his affair in 2006, 2007 and 2008, all responses were the same, "I don't respond to tabloid lies."

When asked if the baby was his, Edwards said he knew the child was not his, and even offered to take a paternity test. Ms. Hunter, however, refuses to have the paternity test, even though her family challenged Edwards to have the test. Things that make you go hmmmm.

Why is there no father's name on the birth certificate for the child in question?

John Edwards states that by announcing the affair to the public, he is now 99% honest.

John Edwards says he loves only one woman, his wife Elizabeth of over thirty years.

Edwards said the affair was over long ago, yet he meets with his mistress in hotels in the middle of the night, meetings that he does not tell his wife about.

Edwards repeatedly states that his wife's cancer was in remission when he had the affair. (Doesn't that make it so much better for Elizabeth?)

We feel there is no such thing as 99% honest. It's kind of like being 99% pregnant.



But giving John Edwards the benefit of the doubt, let's review what he says is fact:

1. John Edwards was having an affair.
2. John Edwards met his mistress secretly at hotels.
3. Someone paid Ms. Hunter hush money of $15,000 every month, but John knew nothing about any of the transactions or who was paying them.
4. John Edwards said he had the affair because he became narcissistic while he was campaigning.
5. John Edwards is not the baby daddy.
6. John Edwards loved his wife, and only his wife for over 30 years.
7. John Edwards has no knowledge of the photo of him and the baby.
8. John Edwards started the affair with Ms. Hunter after his wife's cancer was in remission.
9. Mr. Edwards believes that the "National Enquirer" is only tabloid trash and lies.
10. John Edwards states that this affair has been over since 2006.

OK, 99% honest. I guess it's up to each and every one of us to choose what we believe he is being truthful about and what he is being dishonest about, especially since he is not sharing exactly what he is being dishonest about.

We happen to agree with David Perel of the "Enquirer" that the only thing John Edwards has been honest about is that he is narcissistic.

The only thing that John Edwards accomplished by admitting the affair, was to leave more unanswered questions.

What we know is true:
1. His wife and family do not deserve his dishonesty.
2. He had an affair.
3. The public and his supporters have a right to know the whole truth now.
4. He is not being 100% honest.
5. Men do not meet with ex-mistresses at hotels in the middle of the night to talk.
6. Saying you timed an affair to coincide with your wife's cancer remission is lower than low.
7. You can't love your wife and only your wife when you are sleeping with someone else.
8. When you are caught, you are caught.
9. The "National Enquirer"  is doing pretty good reporting for a tabloid full of trash and lies.
10. John Edwards is narcissistic.

Bernie Mac has died at the age of 50. The actor and comedian died in a Chicago hospital this morning due to complications from pneumonia.

He had long suffered from an inflammatory lung disease known as sarcoidosis, which causes inflammation in the lungs, lymph nodes and other organs. He had been in remission since 2005, and sources said that Mac's pneumonia was not related to it. Yet the general definition of pneumonia and of sarcoidosis lends itself to the fact that  the two diseases combined and attacking the lungs would have to be a lethal combination, whether the sarcoidosis was active, or just a scar tissue that caused further complications.




Bernie Mac was an extraordinary actor and comedian who may have been best known for  his Fox television show "The Bernie Mac Show." He also appeared with  Brad Pitt and George Clooney in the "Ocean's 11" film series, "Guess Who" with Ashton Kutcher, as well as "Bad Santa", "Transformers" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle"



   

It is unfortunate that he may be remembered by one of his final performances which occurred at a fundraising dinner for Barack Obama where he was heckled for telling off-colored and sexist jokes.

Bernie Mac was born on October 5, 1957, in Chicago. His real name was Bernard Jeffrey McCullough.  He is survived by his wife Rhonda McCullough, their daughter, Je'Niece, a son-in-law and a granddaughter.

We leave you with a little Bobby B-Baby from "Transformers" where Bernie Mac sells cars like no one else can.

        

Why does everyone want to save Britney Spears' career? Wouldn't we all be better off if her career was over? If you simply review the highlights of Britney's celebrated career, a few key things stand out.

First the highly suggestive school girl uniform with the video that had perverts...I mean men,  of all ages swooning and cleaning up afterwards in the bathroom. And who can forget the break-up with Justin Timberlake and of course,  the kiss heard round the world with Madonna.
      

Britney has had a few good songs, a couple of mediocre acting performances, and a train wreck of a life. Why should we be subjected to more of this. I mean, really, how bad do you have to be to make Kevin Federline Daddy of the Year? Shave your head, get carted off to the mental hospital and date the sleazy paparazzi? Yes, that will do it.

         

Of course Madonna is trying to help Britney by including her on her tour, well, sort of. Britney is rumored to be making a video for Madonna's tour that involves Britney acting as a crazy person and announcing, "It's Britney Bitch" while Madonna's song "Human Nature" plays in the background. The video below shows a fan's interpretation of what it may be like on the Sticky Sweet Tour. We will replace this with the real thing after August 23rd, if someone gets it youtubed.








But even more recently, it is now rumored that Britney has accepted, or at least being courted for Quentin Tarantino's remake of the cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! In classic Tarantino style, he looks to remake this 1965 arthouse film that follows three wild lesbian strippers who go on a rampage in the desert, with Spears' character killing a man with her bare hands in one bloody scene.


Hmmm... Spears is not by any stretch of the imagination an actress, however, a crazy stripper part may be incredibly easy for her to pull off. But Quentin, we beg of you, no more Britney, please. We are sure you can find someone else to play this role without punishing us with more Britney. Now we say rumored, because some sources are saying that Britney has turned down the role, and at Buzz Edition.net, we truly hope this is the case.

But in the meantime, while we anticipate this Quentin Tarantino remake, we found this great fan made video that was so much fun we had to include it for you today. We apologize if the song gets stuck in your head and you can't escape it. It's April March's song Chick Habit playing to scenes of "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" And we promise you will love it.

        

I would have bet money that Paris Hilton would have never entered the world of politics. But I was wrong.
It seems that John McCain feels that Barack Obama is nothing more that a pampered celebrity who is not ready to lead our country, so in his new political ad, he conveys this message by comparing Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Barack Obama.

  Well one must mention the fact that John McCain could have chosen other celebrities to make his point: Will Smith, Whoopi Goldberg, Harrison Ford, or one of so many other talented and popular celebrities out there. However he chose to compare Obama to ditsy blondes with histories that include jail terms, rehab and emotional breakdowns.



Well you can guess what is wrong with choosing smarter celebrities, McCain knew if Obama was compared to a celebrity that people admired, it would only help his campaign. While comparing him to celebrities that screw up could possibly hurt Obama.

Unfortunately John McCain seems to have approved a message of negativity and stupidity. It's one thing to be negative in a campaign ad, it's quite another to show your stupidity, anger and resentment of the other parties popularity.

Here is the campaign ad video in the event that you are one of the few who has not seen it.




Now Paris Hilton and her Mom, Kathy, were quite upset by the ad, so in classic Paris style, a video response has been issued. And of course we get to hear about how hot Paris Hilton is, where you can get the best tan, and her energy plan.


If you can't see the video the direct link is here.


Now my favorite part of all of this video battle, was the Jimmy Kimmel take on the entire Paris Hilton energy plan. You know how she mentions that she wants "limited off-shore drilling"? Well Jimmy Kimmel disputes the fact that Paris supports "limited drilling" of any kind, as he ties together a video of Paris' porno video and her energy policy to prove that Paris never truly meant to limit "drilling" of any kind, as demonstrated by her constant drilling in her famous sex tape.

So far no upload for this great Kimmel commercial has been created on the Jimmy Kimmel site, or on any other video site, however we promise to add this clip, or a link to it as soon as possible.

        

ABC has produced several reality shows that have been very successful, but none have been as successful as "Extreme Home Makeover" with host Ty Pennington. This hour long show, broadcast on Sunday nights, rewards a deserving family who is trying to overcome some medical or personal tragedy with a total remodel of their home. The entire home (with the exception of behind the scenes planning and some pre-building) is basically designed, built and decorated in a week's time, usually while the family vacations in Walt Disney World.







In 2005 the Harper family who lost their son in a choking accident in New York as they waited for paramedics to arrive. The Harper's lived in the projects, where policy states that paramedics are not allowed to enter without a police escort.

The Harper family decided to relocate their family to  a much safer Lake City, Georgia. They buy what they feel is their dream home, a split-level brick ranch, but turns out to be the beginning of their new nightmare. (Old home shown below with new home)







In the Harper's case, it is extreme foreclosure. It seems that in 2007, the Harper's borrowed $450,000 from Chase Home Finance to open a construction business. That loan is now in default, which leaves the extreme home as collateral which will be sold on the courthouse steps on August 5, 2008.

During an interview Patricia Harper  states that she has struck a new deal with the lender, however you can also hear her say that she is "thinking of just taking her money and moving because she is being harassed."

But most in the community are mad. Even Lake City mayor Willie Oswalt spoke out on behalf of over 1800 volunteers who helped to create this gift for the Harpers, saying that he could not understand how you have no mortgage and $100,000 in cash and still can't make it.

Which makes you wonder, is ABC really doing a good thing by "gifting" people with half a million dollar homes that they can not afford to, and are not equipped to take care of financially? According to ABC staff, homeowners are advised to get a financial planner to ensure a smooth transition, but they also state that the homeowner's privacy is most important, which is why they would not speak about the foreclosure.

Many viewed John Edwards, former Democratic Presidential hopeful, as a possible running mate for Barack Obama in his 2008 election bid. It was also rumored that Edwards had shown interest in the Attorney General position.

But Edwards finds himself in a scandal now, that shocks Democrats and Republicans alike. The National Enquirer first reported that Edwards and former campaign staffer, Rielle Hunter, have not only been having an affair, but have also conceived a love child from this union.



It seems reporters from the National Enquirer had staked out the Beverly Hilton and confronted Mr Edwards at 2:40am on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 coming out of Ms. Hunter's hotel room. A comical, mad dash by a very pale Mr. Edwards found him hold up in a hotel bathroom until security was able to escort him out.

Main stream American media sources including Fox News and the NY Times are finally giving some coverage, and some verification to this story, but one does have to wonder, why the silence until now? Would it make a difference if Edwards was a Republican? Is this secrecy due to respect for Edward's wife, Elizabeth, who is suffering from terminal cancer? Or is it because Edwards is not currently running for any office, so who really cares?

Even Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, are not allowing their site to be updated to mention the scandal, referencing tabloid style references that are not allowed on their site. For a good laugh to start your day, please read through the Wiki debate that is ongoing as to whether to publish or not to publish the story. Not to mention the fact they we recall a certain wrestler's death that was published on Wikipedia before police even broadcast the tragic news.

Whatever the reason, it seems this rumored scandal has finally picked up enough steam, not to mention pictures, to bring John Edwards to the forefront as yet another political hopeful involved in immoral behavior.

Miley Cyrus has gone beyond half-naked pictures, and announced she would love to be a part of Sex and the City But, wait, she does say that she wants to do a "clean version" of the successful TV series and movie franchise.

Now we have to wonder if Miley has a new definition of "clean." As shown here is some recent photos hacked from her email and myspace accounts. Maybe "clean version" just means freshly showered??

   


Well we are not quite sute, what Miley has on her mind, but in a recent TV Guide interview she spoke of abstinence before marriage, even though we have heard rumors of hacked emails between Nick jonas and Miley Cyrus which reveal their sexual exploits.

We actually like the way Sarah East of Pop Crunch tells the story, so here's the video for your entertainment.

Well according to Bella (played by Kristen Stewart), moats were not expected.

I just finished watching the bonus footage of "Twilight" on the "Penelope" DVD, due out on July 15th, 2008, and I already want more. The sneak peak contains some silly off-camera fun with the actors, director and of course Stephenie Meyer, the writer.

It also contains a scene from the movie where Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) invites Bella to his home for the first time after she discovers he is a vampire. She is amazed by the immaculate and beautiful home, and he responds with, "What did you expect? Coffins and dungeons and moats?" Which she quickly banters with "No, not moats"

He then leads her to the staircase where she finds a piece of art on the wall made entirely of graduation caps. As she speculates to the strange reasoning behind this display, Edward simply responds that it's an inside family joke, since they "matriculate a lot."

We assume he would have numerous graduations, since Edward has not aged since 1918 and remains trapped in the body of a 17 year old boy who has been searching for his soulmate for 90 years.

And then their was Bella. The young, beautiful girl who finds herself drawn in to the exquisitely handsome, yet seemingly dangerous, Edward Cullen, who can stop moving cars with his hand and run faster than a mountain lion. Yes, he was different, yet Bella has never been one to stick with the trendy groups, she is unique in her own way, which draws her more to this amazing creature.

The bonus footage ends with Edward twirling Bella around, to which she responds, "I don't dance." Edward in typical bad boy style states, "I could make you." But Bella knows deep in her soul she is not scared of him, and as she exclaims, "I am not scared of you", he proceeds to grasp her tightly as they fly through the open window. A brief cling to a tree gives him a moment to say, "Hold on tight"





What is the phenomenon that is "Twilight"? Vampire movies and TV Shows have often popped up and most times disappeared as fast as they arrived. Now, there are the fan favorites such as Buffy and Angel, but "Twilight" is a different type of vampire movie with a fan following that has kept the "twilight" book series on the New York Times Bestseller List for more than 30 weeks.

"Twilight" has started a fan frenzy with young girls everywhere hoping to trade lives with Bella and be Mr. Edward Cullen. Over 100 fan pages have popped up online and there is even a group of "Twilight Moms."

"Twilight" is uniquely different. It is a suspenseful thriller with superhero vampires, almost comic book style. It is the forbidden tale of vampire and mortal love. The struggle of good and bad. 
 
The Cullen family of vampires is different, they want to live a normal life, well, as normal as you can be and still remain a vampire. They contain their thirst for blood by feasting on grizzly bears, deer and other creatures in the woods.

Here's the official teaser from Summit Entertainment and the link to more videos.






But now as Bella and Edward discover their love for one another, can he withhold his temptation of her scent. The desire to love Bella contrasted with the desire to drink her blood becomes a daily struggle. Or will they live happily ever after as Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen?


I guess we will have to wait for the movie which will be in theaters December 12, 2008.
