IT'S A 4! HURRAH!

Are you ready???

In less than 25 days, this new New Media thing that I’ve been working on for the past 6 months along with a jolly band of experts will be grandly launched.

I have only two words. Woo. Hoo.

And yes, it’s an entirely new brand with logos and stuff that will change the local New Media landscape. (You can choose to be impressed at this point)

Here’s a little teaser…

17 Things I Hate

Inspired by this brilliant piece on ew.com, here's my own list of stuff I can't stand in local showbiz and pop culture:

1. Hosts and presenters who go “aaaaaaaa”. Example: “Aaaaaa, sekarang kita ada Amy Search. Aaaaaaa.” Stop it already!!!

2. How the super rich portrayed in Malay dramas always live in 6-storey mansions that look exactly like Yusof Haslam’s house.

3. Obviously gay celebs who go on talkshows and say people shouldn’t judge them for being single ‘cos they just “haven’t found the right person”.

4. How singers are always asked to “nyanyi sikit” when they’re interviewed on TV. After which the host will then say “Aaaaaaaa, tu dia.”

5. Talent reality show judges who say, “No matter what happens in this competition, you’re going to be a star.” Um, no they won’t. Remember Rosma? Zarina? Or even Felix? I rest my case.

6. This guy auditioning for anything...

7. Local entertainment journalists’ who are always “terperanjat” by the disgusting behaviour of some artistes. The fake naivety is equally disgusting.

8. The word “artis” itself. Even backup dancers call themselves that now.

9. The word “diva” as well. Even backup dancers call themselves that now.

10. Entertainment rags with barely legal boys posing in swimming pools.
11. Catchphrases. Overdone and so over 'em.

12. People who look like this trying to relate to poor people.

13. Celebrity DJs. Especially those who have to look good on Red Carpets when they’re actually there to work.

14. Local producers who rip off foreign shows but call it “coincidence”. Copying is ok, ok? Even Martin Scorcese does it!

15. Totally made up names. Like “Brancy”.

16. Songs with the line "Hanya satu yang ku pinta".

17. Siti Nurhaliza pregnant rumours. She's just getting fat lah...

Benoit The Murderer?

Amazing story, this. According to latest reports, WWE superstar Chris Benoit was responsible for the deaths of his wife and 7-year-old son. Benoit also committed suicide.

As a result, WWE has pulled out all Benoit tributes online as well as offline. But they've already been criticised for airing a special episode of RAW last night in honour of Benoit.

As a fan myself, I'm equally confused. He was a great competitor and the one time that I got to meet the man, he was just plain awesome. And now...

But the question now is, why? Some have speculated that he was high on steroids, and in fact a lot of the stuff was found at his home.

How I wish this was all nothing but a worked storyline..

RIP Benoit

This is for real. WWE superstar Chris Benoit and his family were found dead at their home yesterday.

I repeat, this is for real and not some WWE story angle.

Nicknamed the Rabid Wolverine, Benoit was one of WWE's greatest competitors and a former World Champion.

I had the opportunity to meet the man when he was in KL a few years back and Benoit was just an awesome guy; humble and down-to-earth although he could probably break every bone in the body of someone like me.

RIP.
