Him testing negative for alcohol is a bit strange, considering the amount of empty bottes. And if Nancy had drank it, wouldn't it have been in her toxicology report? Not that there's anything to it, it's just odd. Who drank it then?

Jaa was too busy filming ong bak 2, which was why he had to turn it down. That said, his english isn't up to scratch yet, which might have been a factor. I think Chan should continue acting, but step away from action films. He's done dramatic roles before, and I'm sure he wants to direct again.

Yeah, that was one of the best parts of the movie. That, and the baby elephant getting thrown through a window.

I appreciate that the guy is older now, so he's not able to do what he used to. But his choice in movie roles in recent years have been terrible and I think that's what's tarnished his legacy a lot. He's been in some high profile turkies (the tuxedo, the medallion) and even the ones that have made money have been rubbish (shanghai nights, rush hour) and all the time completely phoning it it. Clearly, he's just in it for the money and has lost whatever enthusiasm he once had. I'd compare Chan's situation to the one pro wrestlers find themselves in. Would you want to go out on top, at your peak (Austin, Rock..etc) and be remembered for your best work or keep going even though your a shell of your old self? (Flair)

I read Chan wanted Tony Jaa (Ong Bak, The Protector) to be in it, but he had to decline due to scheduling issues. Which is just as well, really. Sharing the screen with a young dynamic star like Jaa would just be another reminder of how watered down Chan has become. As for Tucker, I agree he's mad if he thinks anyone, apart from Ratner, will pay him $20 million for a movie. Then again Uma Thurman got something like $15 million for Kill Bill, and this was when she hadn't had a hit in years.

Didn't Borat get to number 1 only playing on around 1000 screens?

At a time when Hollywood is full of sequels, remakes and comic adaptions, Heyman could probably come up with something mildly original.

I'm a bit shocked captivity flopped as badly as it did. I thought it would get into to the top 10 at least. It seems controversy doesn't equal cash after all.

More caught At least 66 people have been arrested by Spanish police investigating a child pornography ring. Officers seized 48 million photos and video images in the 10-month long inquiry, which was co-ordinated by Interpol. One suspect had huge porn stashThe arrests were made in raids across the country and those detained include architects, psychologists, doctors, lawyers and child sport coaches.Police said a suspect had the largest amount of child porn ever found on one person - 21 external hard drives containing the material. The inquiry - codenamed Operation Penalty - began last September with information supplied by German officers. Advertisement Spanish police then tracked 5,000 downloads of pornographic material from archives located on servers in Germany. They found 85 computer users downloading the images leading to 66 being arrested. The operation involved 300 specialist agents, 50 courts and stretched across 40 of Spain's 57 provinces. Detectives are also investigating whether any of those detained are guilty of abusing children as well as downloading images of child porn sky news. Finding out your therapist is a pedophile? That would leave you even more screwed up.

LONDON - Police smashed a global Internet pedophile ring, rescuing 31 children and rounding up more than 700 suspects worldwide, authorities said Monday. Some 200 suspects are based in Britain, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center said. The ring was traced to an Internet chat room called "Kids the Light of Our Lives" that featured images of children being subjected to horrific sexual abuse. The investigation involves agencies from 35 countries and lasted 10 months. The host of the Web site, Timothy David Martyn ***, 27, of Buxhall, who used the online identity "Son of God," admitted to nine counts of possessing and distributing indecent images, authorities said. After his arrest in September, authorities were able to infiltrate the chat room and collect evidence on the other members. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070618/ap_on_...eTLdM2T.6YE1vAI Some good news for once.

Would anyone here go see a movie just because Paul Heyman wrote it?

Keller is saying there are reports going around that a top level wwe star has been sent home, he's not confirmed or denied it but he says he's looking into it. Thoughts?

Can someone put this up on youtube?

More from Meltzer -the Police Department believes (but are not absolutely certain) that the argument between Nancy and Chris Benoit that resulted in Nancy Benoit's murder was the result of Nancy telling Chris she was leaving him. - Apparently Benoit actually spoke to next door neighbor Holly McFague sometime on Saturday, after the killing of Nancy Benoit, but before the killing of Daniel Benoit. - Benoit gave McFague a cover story of how sick Nancy and Daniel Benoit were (the same story that was reported in the phone calls to WWE workers). McFague has previously been reported by many sources as the person who actually led police into the Benoit property and first discovered the bodies of all three Benoits. - Benoit also spoke to a pool boy (not named) during that period on Saturday. Meltzer reports that multiple sources have stated that this pool boy saw both Chris and Daniel Benoit. One of those sources claim the two were swimming in the Benoit pool. - Meltzer also outlined the events of the day Chris Benoit that murdered Nancy Benoit where Benoit drove to Dr. Phil Astin's office 50 miles from his house, followed by a return trip to a restaurant before stopping a a GNC store and then presumably home where the argument took place that triggered the chain of events that resulted in the deaths of three people and a wrestling world that will be shaken for a long, long time

I want Mollah and Mae to have their own golden girls type sitcom. Anyway, I can't wait for the press to blame the double murder suicide on caffine withdrawl.

-Moolah and Mae Young didn't realize it was Chris Benoit who had passed away for quite a while. They were both at Raw on 6/23 to be part of the Vince funeral show. Moolah was in the bathroom when everyone was called to the ring. Mae was out there, but at 83, her hearing is bad. When Moolah came out to find everyone freaked out, she went to Mae to find out what happened, and Mae told her that Christian had died and both didn't ask any questions for some time." -Italia 1 is largely a network for kids, and thus felt obligated to cancel SD. - Kurt Angle never failed a drug test for painkillers. His failure was for testing positive for deca with an expired prescription. - Astin had Benoit's chart with him when the first raid started. This looks very bad for him since the police are fairly sure he was trying to tamper with it. - Nobody's sure why Ballard said Daniel was almost a dwarf. - David Benoit, the older son, looked similar to Daniel at the same age. - In 1997, Nancy was charged with aggravated battery after Kevin Sullivan claimed he went after her with a knife. She claimed that she was holding it and nothing else, and the charges were later dropped. - The Nancy/Heavy Metal incident (Meltzer doesn't name Metal) where he held her hostage in his hotel room and bit her led to major problems between AAA and WCW. - A friend of Chris's noted that while it's probably grasping at straws, he was addicted to caffeine to a freakish degree a few years ago. Dave then goes into the weirdness of caffeine withdrawal symptoms. - For whatever reason, ART in Arabic-speaking countries aired the tribute show on 6/29 with the announcers heavily praising Benoit. from this weeks observer

HHH wants a strong opponent to squash, so it makes him look better. Carltio's been languishing in mid card for too long.

WWE held a meeting backstage before raw Monday night in which they basically said "Just say no to drugs!". The speech came from Vince McMahon and Johnny Ace.They explained the current situation to everyone and told them there was a grief counselor on hand if they wanted to talk about the Benoit situation or anything else that was bothering them. f4w newsletter

Triple H had planned to wrestle Randy Orton at SummerSlam but those plans have been changed. Triple H will not be wrestling John Cena at SummerSlam either and they will be kept far apart until another date. Current plans call for Triple H to return to TV on the 8/13 Raw at Madison Square Garden. pwinsider

Not sure what this means yet, but Samoa Joe was offered a new contract and turned it down. This may turn into a big story or it may just be a leverage deal. One thing to consider is that Konnan and Ron Killings both quit and there have been at least a half dozen guys who have asked to get out of their contracts and been turned down. I know at least a few guys who I am told will not be resigning when their deals come up under any circumstances, but did not hear the same thing yet about Joe. The irony is that the guys who want out the most have contracts that don't expire until 2009. I believe the TNA plan is to continue to build up the Joe vs. Kurt feud to culminate in a match for the title this fall (meaning, sadly, that D-Von Dudley is not going to win the World Title on Sunday). I would think that if Joe re-signed they'd put the belt on him, but if he doesn't than obviously that's not going to happen. According to a source in WWE, there is mild interest in him but it's nowhere near a lock that he'd be signed. He's not particularly tall, doesn't have the WWE build, plus he wouldn't be able to do most of his high impact stuff. One person compared him to Tazz, a guy that people raved about due to his work in ECW, but then when he got called up to WWE and all of his suplexes and such were taken away from him, he was just a short guy that ended up as an announcer within a few years. When Tazz first got called up, in fact, Vince took one look at him and almost ended his in-ring run before it started. Writer Chris Kreski, who died of cancer a year or so ago at age 42, pushed really hard for him and ended up getting him on TV at least for a period. I'm told his current deal expires in a few months, so really they may be building up towards a match that might never take place if he leaves before the PPV is booked. I would think they would have a plan in place to make sure that didn't happen, even if it's to accelerate storylines so he'd do that last job right before he left if that's what he chooses to do. f4w newsletter

Oh dear god. I like how "the intruders" were nice enough to let Benoit out of the house to talk to his neighbour on Saturday. Surely if you're trying to execute a triple homicide you don't let one of the victims wander outside and talk to whoever they want?

They should have got Khali on there.

Funny, but fairly random pic of Candice from her porn days, that I found on WC.

- In filing divorce papers, Nancy claimed that Chris Benoit made $500,000 per year as a professional wrestling, and asked for permanent custody of Daniel and child support. Nancy filed for divorce, but dismissed it three months later in 2003. - Despite media reports, the focus of most of Chris and Nancy's fights didn't involve Daniel, but centered around money and possessiveness. - On Vengeance Sunday, WWE called Benoit and local hospitals in the Atlanta area to see if Benoit was a patient. wrestling observer newsletter via gerweck.net

I was reading an interview with the producer. He says their ignoring the events of T3. It'll be an alternative timeline.
