Foxy Brown turned down a plea deal and will be going to trial Sept.24 for her assault on an owner of a beauty supply store. The owner claims that Foxy spit on him and has sumbitted the DNA to prove it. Prosecutors have now ordered Foxy to submit a DNA sample. Not looking good....

L.L. Cool J plans to hit the tube again this fall with his own show called "The Man." This time he will play a tough cop fighting crime. Not sure why they would title it "The Man."

Movie of the Week

Turistas. American college student Alex (Josh Duhamel), his younger teenage sister Bea (Olivia Wilde) along with their close friend Amy (Beau Garrett) are backpacking through Brazil. They meet up with similar companions: wild and crazy British mates Finn (Desmons Askew) and Liam (Max Brown), together with Australian traveler Pru (Melissa George), on a cross country bus. They barely survive after it crashes off a cliff. Further mishaps occur due to becoming stranded on a beach by so-called "friendly locals", some of whom have deprived them of all their processions! Searching for any sympathetic police, they meet familiar face Kiko (Agels Steib), who offers to lead them to sanctuary that being a house deep in the jungle. But upon finally reaching this supposed safe haven Amy soon vanishes, and it is only then that they discover (way too late) that their "saviors" offering them shelter are operators of a black market specializing in running human organs, who are seeking unwilling foreign donors (foreign tourist) to benefit their unfortunate countrymen. In their captors' eyes, foreigners have come into Brazil, raping their precious lands of its rubber, sugar, gold--even using its people as throwaway sexual playthings. For this exploitation of their country, our backpackers are now set to go under the surgeon's scalpel, courtesy of the captors twisted ringleader Dr. Zamora (Miguel Lunardi); Brazil's answer to 'Dr. Giggles'.This movie is a hot must see.

From then on, the brothers began getting other small roles. Larenz's career first took off in a Christmas episode of "The Twilight Zone - The Series" after which roles began pouring in. He has gone on to star in both television series and movies.

Bob woke up after the annual office Christmas party with a pounding headache, cotton-mouthed and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening. After a trip to the bathroom, he made his way downstairs, where his wife put some coffee in front of him."Louise," he moaned, "tell me what happened last night. Was it as bad as I think?""Even worse," she said, her voice oozing scorn. "You made a complete ass of yourself. You succeeded in antagonizing the entire board of directors and you insulted the president of the company, right to his face.""He's an idiot," Bob said. "Piss on him!" "You did," came the reply. "And he fired you.""Well, screw him!" said Bob. "I did. You're back at work on Monday."
