FCC’s Indecency Policy Ruled Unconsistitutionally Vague
According to MTV’s Hollywood Crush,
“Last Tuesday, the Supreme Court struck down the FCC’s indecency policy based on it being “unconsistitutionally vague.”
The Hollywood Reporter says that the case originally stemmed from “profanity uttered by celebrities during live broadcasts of awards show” (thank you, Peter Facinelli and the 2010 MTV Movie Awards)( LEXICON EDIT see video below: warning language is not work safe, but it does illustrate the point being made by this article which involved an award won by the movie New Moon), but the result basically loosens primetime networks’ ability to use profane language and explicitly sexuality.
You can read THR, Esq.‘s in-depth summation of the court ruling on the link above, but we’re interested to see how the repercussions change TV in the upcoming season. Primetime has been getting markedly steamier over the past decade, especially in some of our favorites like “”Gossip Girl” and “90210.” THR also cites upcoming shows like NBC’s “Friends With Benefits” and CBS’s William Shatner-starring “S#*! My Dad Says” as other new shows willing to push television limits.”
As the article cites what particularly spurred this, was the spontaneous utterance of stars on Live Awards shows. Peter Facinelli responding to a show that was laden with F-bombs that were beeped out for home viewing decided to do it himself in attempt to satirize what went on that night not realizing that the MTV show wasn’t going to be quick enough on his additions. Peter later issued an apology via EW.

The Huffinton Post: A Twilight Seduction: What Men Can Learn From Edward
This is a great article on just what it is that is attractive about BOTH movie and book Edward and Jacob.
“The lesson for men of Edward is not how to seduce a woman, but how to get her to want to seduce you (homework to follow). While Jacob tempts Bella with a love that’s “as easy as breathing,” Edward takes her breath away because she loves him more than air, and every kiss and touch leaves her gasping for more. He’s constantly adoring her with contact; taking her face in his hands, brushing his fingers across her cheek, securing a protective arm around her waist, sliding his lips along her jaw.
Instead of exploring their anatomy, they explore the anatomy of a kiss. It’s first base to the umpteenth power, with true love multiplying their every liplock exponentially. The effect on Bella is beyond arousal. Her heart hammers, her skin flushes, her blood, which Edward craves, races in her veins. It’s no wonder romance novels are often referred to as “pornography for women.” Neither one is realistic.
The most sensuous scene in the book, omitted from the film, comes when Edward, returning in the night, awakens Bella, and demonstrates to her the benefits of his newly acquired big bed. Their reunion is comfortably sexy; a couple completely at home in each other, their conversation and every caress infused with a deep affection. You can almost hear the soft words and rhythmic breathing in the dark. But in a gender role reversal it is Edward who will stop Bella before they get “carried away.” “Must I always be the responsible one?” he’ll sigh. (Do vampires take cold showers?) It’s every junior high school girl’s dream: the beautiful, adoring boy who’ll take them anywhere except too far.”
Various Twilight Cast Members at Comic Con 2010
Both Anna Kendrick, Billy Burke, and Michael Sheen will be at Comic Con this year, but not in connection to Twilight. Anna is going to be promoting Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Billy is going to be promoting Drive Angry. If you are going to Comic Con their panels should be relatively accessible. Now Michel on the other hand is going to be there with Tron Legacy, and that will draw quite the crowd. Access may be tougher, so plan ahead.
Comic Con always has other actors present to represent various series that don’t per say have a movie out in the current year. This year according to their press release, “Kiowa Gordon, Bronson Pelletier and Kirsten Prout appear at Comic Con 2010 in San Diego CA on July 25th 2010. They will sign autographs from 1:30pm to 5pm at the Comic Con 2010 Convention held at the San Diego Conevention center. Twilight Fans may bring any Twilight merchandise to be signed by these 3 talented actors.Information on Comic Con 2010 signings can be found at http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_autographs_grp.php

100 Monkeys Summer Tour 2010
This just in from 100 Monkeys:
“Los Angeles band 100 Monkeys have been nothing short of active these past few months after the first part of their fan-picked 100 City Tour came to an end. Two new singles, Kol Pix and Future Radio, were debuted worldwide earlier this month and made their first radio appearance on the Jimmy Star Show this past week. 100 Monkeys also announced the release of the first disc of a two-disc live CD titled “Live and Kickin’ Part 1.” The songs on the CD were recorded during the first-half of the 100 City Tour and will be released just before they leave on tour. In less than four days they?ll embark on a Summer Tour consisting of twelve cities which run up and down the west coast. These guys have been nothing short of busy.
100 Monkeys are highly driven by their fan base and all of the people who support them. Their last tour, the 100 City Tour was picked by the fans themselves who voted for the band to come to their city. Those cities who had the most votes or pleas to come to their city, were setup to be visited. Two cities picked by the fans that now stand out more than ever are Sacramento, CA and San Francisco, CA, which will be played on the upcoming Summer Tour. Sacramento is a city they have yet to visit on any tour, and was set to be played in January but ended up having to be cancelled. San Francisco is a city they haven?t played since early 2009 and during their last tour also sadly had to cancel.
Their Summer Tour begins on July 20th, 2010, and runs through to August 6th, 2010, and will include the following cities (in order): Hermosa Beach, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Las Vegas, NV; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Vancouver, BC, Canada; Fresno, CA; Reno, NV; Sacramento, CA; and wraps up in Los Angeles, CA.
100 Monkey members, Ben Graupner, Lawrence Abrams, Jerad Anderson, Ben Johnson and Jackson Rathbone (who appears in such movies as The Last Airbender, and the Twilight Saga) are looking forward to visiting all twelve cities, but Sacramento, CA and San Francisco, CA, are ones in which they can?t wait to play as they were skipped the last time around and it will be a chance to hopefully see some new faces.
In an effort to pack the house at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA and The Venue in Sacramento, CA, the Official 100 Monkeys Street Team is offering up goodies for those fans and supporters who wish to help make these shows truly sensational. These two cities were picked at random for the “goodie giveaway”because they were previously canceled on the 100 City Tour. Fans are being asked to print the flyers and take pictures of where they are posted throughout these cities. Fans who submit five pictures/venues to [email protected] will score themselves a signed flyer by all of the guys (and maybe more since we’re feeling generous)! If you need flyers for either of these events, please email the Street Team. For any fans wanting to go above and beyond and live around San Francisco, CA area, feel free to text your local radio stations Live 105 (Text# 36105) and Alice @ 97.3 (Text# 25423) requesting 100 Monkeys. For those fans living around the Sacramento, CA area, anyone who logs on to http://www.krxq.net/can also requests 100 Monkeys on the form on their website.
Recently 100 Monkeys was featured in Rolling Stone as one of “Bamboozle 2010’s Five Breakout Bands to Watch, their honest and catchy lyrics combined with the fusion of Rock, Jazz, Blues, Funk, and even borderline Country, creates a truly eclectic sound; one which the band has coined “onomatopoetic, but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll call it funky rock-n-roll,” and a show not to be missed.
Just as unique as the band’s sound, are their live performances, which feature their now patented Monkey Switcheroo, in which band members exchange instruments, often during a song. Additionally, fans attending live shows look forward to the nightly Improv Song, where the band takes title suggestions from the audience and turns it into a lyrical masterpiece.
Here is a sample of one of their improve songs called snake charmer.
