Boy does this look like crap. I see it bombing this weekend.

For the idiots out there, a torrent file is a way to share files with others by using a torrent application. I won’t get technical with y’all, it’s just another way of pirating stuff, mostly movies. Now that you are caught up…

One of the biggest Torrent websites out there was called TorrentSpy.com. Let’s remember… Torrent files are not the actually movie, just a way to search for others with that movie that are sharing it. So TorrentSpy.com wasn’t HOSTING anything illegal. Or so they thought.

Late last year TorrentSpy got hit hard by the powers that be, and they ran for the hills. They cut off all visitors with a U.S. IP address. Too little too late. They got shut down a couple weeks ago. Now they owe the movie studios $110 Million dollars.

TorrentSpy bit the dust only weeks ago, shuttering its peer-to-peer file-sharing site. Now a federal judge has ordered the company to pay the Motion Picture Association of America $110 million for infringement of thousands of copyrighted film and TV shows.

In a four-page final ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper entered the multimillion-dollar judgment against TorrentSpy parent company Valence Media for willfully inducing, contributing and vicariously allowing copyright infringement on its Web site.

Cooper also issued a permanent injunction against the Web site, which shut down March 24.

The MPAA, which represents the Hollywood studios, filed suit against TorrentSpy in February 2006, claiming that the site’s torrent files were illegally uploaded.

So is this the end of Torrent sites as we know them? Not quite. Hollywood was able to go after TorrentSpy because they were once hosted on American soil. Despite it’s best efforts, the long arm of the Hollywood arm can’t reach over seas where such laws don’t exist.

Of course I would NEVER use the torrent system. But if I did, it would only be for p0rn. I never understood downloading a Hollywood movie, and I never have. Despite the fact that (unlike music) it takes hundreds of people to make a movie and those people should get paid, I never wanted to see a grainy cam-corder filmed movie on my computer screen. And even if you got a great bootleg copy that is ALMOST DVD quality, you wouldn’t know until you downloaded it. So basically you are spending all this time to download something that is probably crap, to watch on your crappy computer. What fun is that?

I want superior quality. I want HDMI. I want Blu-Ray. I want surround sound. And I want this only if I don’t go to the theaters. I’ve seen IRON MAN twice in the theaters. I saw it opening night, and then the following Tuesday. I don’t want to go off on a rant here… but opening night RULES! If you get there early enough and get a good seat, there is nothing to compare to the theater experience. Serious fans are there, and the energy is electric. People cheer and laugh. Cry and gasp. You are literally sharing an experience with hundreds of people at the same time.

I admit I’m getting old. I know that the kids love the IMing, the texting, the Xbox Live. And Xbox Live is great, but you are not a serious gamer until you have played head-to-head with another dude on the same arcade game. The crowd forms around you as you grasp the joystick. Your quarters have been up on the machine for hours. You’ve watched and waited for your turn and now you are up. There is no hiding behind a microphone. No cozy couch or basement. It’s you and this other dude. You can smell the sweat from his body, hear the crowd cheer, and feel that slippery joystick or trackball in your hand. This is competition. One chance…

That’s HUMAN interaction, and no matter WHAT technology can come up with, there is nothing like it. Arcades are a thing of the past, let’s not send theaters there as well.

I’m not telling you to stop downloading. If you want to be a thief, that’s your decision. What I am going to do is ASK you to go to the movies this summer. Enjoy it while you can. Enjoy every last bit of it. Enjoy the stale popcorn and the sticky floor. Enjoy the cheering crowds and the hot chick in the row ahead of you. Enjoy holding in your pee because you don’t want to miss a minute of this great thing we call the movies.

Enjoy it… who knows how long we will have it.

Terminator 4 starts shooting in Mexico this week, despite the fact that the actors (SAG) will most likely go on strike this July. Another strike? Oh that’s a good idea. Seeing how great the writers strike went. What worries me more than a strike for Terminator is that the film is going to get a PG-13 rating. WHAT THE? All Terminator movies are rated R! G.D. 14 year olds! You’re ruining the movie industry! Stay at home and play your video games kids. Kick ass Terminators are for adults! Damn you kids. Damn you to H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks!

Cameras began rolling this week on the latest “Terminator” movie — estimated to cost about $150 million — for what many Hollywood watchers say is a late start given concerns that labor tensions could lead to an actors strike by July.

“Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins,” began shooting on Monday in New Mexico, bucking a trend in which studios have mostly avoided launching new productions they cannot be sure of completing before the Screen Actors Guild contract expires on June 30, a date being treated as a facto strike deadline.

Well Madonna set the blogging world ablaze today when this picture of her kissing another woman hit the net. I heard it was an unidentified woman and I heard it was a back-up dancer. Either way, it’s disgusting. I feel dirty just posting this. I guess if you like H.A.G.s (Hot Ass Grandma, lol) then you’ll like this. Personally, after looking at this picture, I’m now regretting the Baconator I had for lunch.

Madonna kissed a female fan on stage last night after telling the audience she loves “Frenching the French”.

The pop superstar was playing a private concert to mark the launch of her latest album ‘Hard Candy’.

Dressed head-to-toe in black, Madonna said to the crowd of 1,500: “Why do I have this relationship with France? I’m always drawn to working with French people - and Frenching French people.

“Viva la France!”

The singer - clutching an electric guitar - then kissed an unidentified woman.

Okay here’s the deal… Barbara Walters went on Oprah yesterday and dished about why Star Jones got the boot from “The View.” In a nutshell Barbara said Star came to them and told them she was having gastric bypass surgery because she was larger than a hippo. But here’s the rub… Star didn’t want to tell the audience or the press, saying she wanted everyone to think she was just on a really good diet and doing pilates. (that’s an exercise, btw.)

So the girls of “The View” had to act like the huge elephant in the room wasn’t shrinking, (pun intended,) therefore reducing the panel to liars. After Barbara got sick of this, she showed Star the door. WHEW.

ANYWHO… Barbara’s new book AUDITION, contains the startling admission that she had a two-year affair with married African-American Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s.

With this ammunition, Star Jones, bitter from her fresh divorce, fired back at Barbara:

“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book,” Jones told Us. “It speaks to her true character.”

What a BIOTCH!

Here’s the poster for Twilight. I’m reading the book right now. WOW is this a chick book. I’m halfway through and there has been nothing but giggling girls buying dresses and drooling over the damn “gorgeous” vampire. I’m bored. It better have some blood sucking soon. (In case you haven’t figured it out, this is a teenage/love story/vampire book/movie.)

The last time I was this excited about a bikini, I had just found the cutest one for myself. It was a trim 2-piece polka dot number that really showed off my curves. Oops. I’ve said to much. Enjoy Elisha while trying to get that image out of your head.

Looks like Ellen Pompeo doesn’t like wearing a bra. Either that or she’s stealing raisins from that grocery store.

So the MET holds this costume thingy every year. I guess it’s just an excuse for celebs to dress up. I’m not sure about the “costume” part tho. I would have came as Superman or a Jedi. Lucky for you I am here to share ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY pictures. whew.

Beyonce looks like she’s really glad to be there.

Blake Lively is that chick from Gossip Girl. Yeah… she looks like a teenager…

Christina Ricci is looking less like an alien every day. You go girl!

Emmy Rossum is under rated as an actress and a hottie.

Eva Longoria looks mighty fine… but I still hate her.

Did you know that Eva Mendes got her start as a “video girl” in Will Smith’s video “Miami.” She later starred with him in “Hitch.” He didn’t remember her.

Fergie looks scarier than normal.

Gisele Bundchen looks like a man. But has great side b00b.

I love that the old Hilary Duff is back. She put some weight back on and dumped those huge teeth she used to have. We love you just the way you are Hilary!

Jennifer Lopez must have left the twins with the nanny.

Sorry Kate Bosworth, you are still too skinny. What happened to that bod from “Blue Crush”?

It’s Katie Holmes and some short guy. I think she shaved her head for Scientology. That’s a wig.

Kristin Davis is my favorite “Sex & the City” girl.

I don’t care what Mischa Barton’s butt looks like. I think she’s gorgeous.

Molly Simms.

The scariest person at the gala. Naomi Watts. WTF?

One of the Olsen Twins showed up as a bag lady.

Rachel Bilson’s dress is hot, hot hot! But is she really going out with him? yup.

Sorry. Never thought Sarah Michelle Gellar was hot.

Scarlett Johansson shows off her new engagement ring from Ryan Reynolds.

Taylor Swift. Who. Cool makeup!

So who do you think looked the best? Leave a comment!
