Laura Ling and Euna Lee Released From North Korean Prison

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:03:44 +0000

Laura Ling (32) and Euna Lee (36) got really lucky. The pair’s boss, Al Gore, was unsuccessful in getting them released from a North Korean prison, but his former boss Bill Clinton was successful, and they are heading home on Clinton’s play to Los Angeles. Kim Jong Ill pardoned the trespassers after meeting with Clinton. The families of the former criminals said in a statement:

"We are counting the seconds to hold Laura and Euna in our arms."

"The families of Laura Ling and Euna Lee are overjoyed by the news of their pardon. We especially want to thank President Bill Clinton for taking on such an arduous mission and Vice President Al Gore for his tireless efforts to bring Laura and Euna home. We must also thank all the people who have supported our families through this ordeal, it has meant the world to us."

We hope Ling and Lee have learned their lesson.

Al Gore Hypocrisy Continues on Global Warming

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:06:47 +0000

Al Gore this week proposed Americans pay $3 trillion dollars to convert electricity plants that use fossil fuels to plants that use wind and solar power. Gore also supports the "progressive" energy policy implemented in Europe that has caused their gasoline prices to be currently priced at $8 per gallon.

This video shows supporters, and Al Gore, not practicing what they preach. Gore is an elitist, as well as a hypocrite.

Bill Gates Announces Last Day At Microsoft – Video

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:37:41 +0000

Bill Gates was once again one of the keynote speakers at the Consumer Electronics Association (CES) convention in Las Vegas, which began today, and will run until January 10. Bill made a video to commemorate his last full day at Microsoft which included Steve Ballmer, Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney , Barack Obama, Al Gore, Steven Spielberg, Hillary Clinton, Bono, and more, but not Connie Chung. Bill walked out of an interview with Connie which effectively ended her career. Maybe that’s why China doesn’t crack down on piracy of Microsoft products more.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel May Do Nailed

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:18:06 +0000

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel are attached to star in Nailed, a risque political satire co-written by a daughter of Al Gore, Kristin Gore. Neither star has a signed contract for the film. Their commitment could depend on juggling other features. Here’s a summary:

Biel would play Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward small-town receptionist who has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges.

The uninsured Joyce goes on a crusade to Washington to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured. She meets an immoral congressman (Gyllenhaal) who takes advantage of her sex drive and capitalizes on her crusade as Joyce heads into her own career in politics.

David O. Russell who wrote the movie Three Kings, and comedy cartoon series Futuarma, co-wrote the screenplay. Sounds lame. Why would Jake and Jessica even consider doing a low budget move like this? Answer: Hollywood loves Al Gore.

Al Gore May Lose his Academy Award and Nobel Peace Prize

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 22:34:04 +0000

Al Gore is being called to account for the misinformed facts in his movie, some are calling outright lies. Fox News reports:

Not everyone is celebrating Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming efforts. Retired climatologist Timothy Balls tells Cybercast News Service that Gore’s movie – "An Inconvenient Truth" – is a "wonderful peace of propaganda" that relies on "visual imagery and gimmickry".

Earlier this week a British judge ruled that the movie had at least nine major errors and could not be shown to students without balancing information. Thursday, the BBC alleged that Gore knew his movie presented false facts, but was afraid any uncertainty would fuel global warming skeptics.

JunkScience.com publisher Steve Milloy says if that is true, "Gore should win the Nobel Prize for propaganda." And Czech President Vaclav Klaus says he is surprised Gore would get a peace prize, noting "The relationship between his activities and world peace is unclear and indistinct."

Meanwhile, a conservative think tank in New Zealand wants Hollywood to strip Gore’s movie of its Oscar.

The West Australian newspaper reports the New Zealand Center of Political Research has written to the president of the group that produces the Academy Awards, contending that the alleged scientific errors in the movie disqualify it for the Best Documentary award.

The president of the group says the situation is similar to when championship athletes are found to be on steroids or other drugs and their victories and medals are nullified.

Even if Gore had named the movie True Lies, it wouldn’t make any difference. With the release of An Inconvenient Truth (carbon credit global warming infomercial), the Academy Award win, and the Nobel Peace prize win, his carbon credit company has made a lot of cash. A lot of people might hate Gore now, but being rich and successful is the best revenge for not making him President. It may be inconvenient, but it’s the truth.

Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:03:23 +0000

Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr., formerly known as Al Gore, and the guy who didn’t win the presidency, won the Nobel Peace prize, because some people wanted him to be President of the United States, and since he isn’t, they’re giving him every prize and trophy in existence. Even if global warming is discovered to just be natural climate changes, and Gore goes to jail for his alleged carbon credit scam, some folks will still love him. Not because he’s cool, or because his speeches cure insomnia, but because he’s a huggable bear sized guy who RAGES against the machine. FYI: His first name is Albert, as in Albert Einstein. No relation, but he’d like you to think there is.

Bruce Willis Denies Romantic Link to Lindsay Lohan

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 13:37:36 +0000

It never happened. That’s what Bruce Willis has to say about those rumors that he and Lindsay Lohan had a short-lived "thing."

In an interview with the Mirror, Willis concedes that he has a rakish image and that his denials of hanky-panky with Firecrotch will fall on deaf ears.

â€œHereâ€™s what you have to know,â€ he says with a hint of exasperation. â€œI donâ€™t pay attention to the gossip anymore. I donâ€™t look at it or let it in my house. We could go down to a newsstand right now and find five stupid things that are written about me, but I just donâ€™t care.

â€œI stopped fighting it when I was a young kid and I was trying to find my way, just flailing wildly, figuring out how to handle fame. Setting the record straight… I couldnâ€™t care less. Because no matter how many times I tell you I had nothing to do with Lindsay Lohan and never laid a finger on her â€“ she just hung out with my younger daughter Tallulah for a minute â€“ itâ€™s still gonna be set in stone. Itâ€™s out of my control.â€

Bruce, we believe you. Really.

In the time that has passed since those rumors were hot, we’ve learned that Lindsay was raised by a liar, that she has delusions of influential connections to an ex-Vice President, and that she can’t spell the word adequate.

Her alleged claims – and then public denials – that the two of you were hitting it off seem less convincing now than ever.

We’re just glad that rehab has reduced said Lohan hook-up claims. We’re bracing for the new wave of Lindsay-finds-love stories we’ll soon have to post.

And it makes our fingers cry.

Madonna Does Environmental Concert but Invests in Polluters

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 19:25:33 +0000

Madonna is not one to run from controversy. She’s been busy over the past year adding a new African baby to compliment her LV bag, lecturing people on proper adoption, and now she’s performing at a high profile environmental concert to elevate her own profile. Here’s more:

Madonna, who seems to be on top of all her many business endeavors, has actually invested about $2.7 million dollars in companies that are creating the destruction that Live Earth is trying to raise awareness about. She has invested in several companies named as the biggest corporate polluters in the world.

The companies include Alcoa, Ingersoll Rand, Weyerhaeuser, and several others associated with oil exploration, digging, and refining including Ford Motors, BP, Schlumberger (a chief competitor of Halliburton), Devon Energy, Peabody Energy, Emerson Electric, Kimberly Clark and Weatherford International.

In 2002, the University of Massachusetts’ Political Research Institute ranked Alcoa No. 9 on a list of all-time toxic American companies.

So many celebrities talk about the environment, or other causes, and yet they don’t practice what they preach. Al Gore may be the champion of environmental causes yet he rides in private jets, and one of his many houses uses 20 times more energy than other houses the same size. If Al Gore can still win a award for his political message, and personally get rich from it despite his personal hypocrisy, then Madonna deserves a pass. The bottom line is, even celebrities know idealistic causes are not always realistic. Madonna probably does do some things to protect the environment like using only one toilet paper square to wipe when she takes a crap.

Al Gore’s Son Busted On Drug Charges

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 19:52:10 +0000

Al Gore III has been in trouble many times before. Is this a bad parenting issue?

- In 1996, he was suspended from his high school for smoking marijuana.
- In August 2000, he was ticketed for reckless driving by North Carolina police for driving 94 mph.
- In September 2002, military police arrested him on suspicion of drunk driving near a military base in Virginia.
- In 2003, he was charged with marijuana possession in Maryland after police stopped the car he was driving for not having its headlights on.
- In February 2004, he entered a substance abuse program as part of a plea agreement.

Here’s more:

Al Gore’s son was pulled over for speeding on a California freeway early Wednesday and arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs, authorities said.

Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph south on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over by sheriff’s deputies who said they smelled marijuana, said Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino.

The deputies searched the car and found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin, and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, Amormino said.

"He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs," Amormino said.

Gore was being held in the men’s central jail in Santa Ana on $20,000 bail.
