Some food for thought, slight pun intended, to get us rolling. A company is coming out with a new protein bar made from Crickets. --Somewhere Jiminy just felt a disturbance in the force.-- Crickets are baked, ground into flour, then used in the recipe. Bet you are just jumping at the chance to try them aren’t ya.
Andrew Dice Clay, the “Dice Man” is writing a book. Out next year, I’ll save you the wait on the explanation of his stand-up routine. Dennis Miller said it best years ago. He’s Fonzie with Tourette’s.
Oprah plans on mentoring Lindsay Lohan. And it will be filmed for a documentary, oh boy. Plan is Oprah will take Lindsay under her wing and get her life back on the right path. Let's hope. My guess though, this goes horribly wrong, Oprah realizes Lindsay really is an idiot and strangles her. Or Lindsay turns into Oprah with her drug use; She wants to share with everybody!
“You get some cocaine, and you get some cocaine and you get some cocaine!”
Your latest sign, the 'Merican culture is doomed. The latest must see TV. The casts of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and, Cake Boss, will battle on an upcoming episode of Family Feud. Good god. Even Steve Harvey’s moustache can’t class this cluster train up!
And, kids meals at fast food restaurants aren’t what they used to be. A Michigan family recently found a pot pipe for smoking weed in their Burger King kids meal. Hmm, maybe that’s why they call it a fast food joint -Zing!

--Oh P.S. A cool music news extra. Record stores could be on the comeback! Sales from independent music stores are up 44% this year in the UK. More significant, they account for over half of all vinyl sales. Let’s cross our fingers this trend comes to North America. I keep telling you vinyl records are making a comeback!
P.S.S.-- And a shameless plug. I finally launched my website: TheGilmoreShow.com Head there for all things me. You can make it better, please check it out and let me know what you think, Thanks!

These Are The Things I Think About -- July8th-July14th
Well big romance rumours this week. George Clooney & Stacy Keibler are splitsville. This is the word on the street. Ladies if you don’t want kids or marriage, but do want George, --this seems to be his criteria-- the line up starts to the left…Guys if you want to date someone whose ex boyfriend you will never live up to, line up starts to the right
Some early summer TV (read: taking a chance to fill programming while no one who spends money with us is really paying attention) debuts are arriving. Wednesday night, Camp, kicked off. It’s a new show following Campers and Counselors at a summer camp, hence the clever name. Tom Green is in it and it’s on NBC. So, it has the perfect fitting combination of potential to be pretty good, or really, really, really god awful bad. Good luck to Camp… Hope it isn’t too Campy of a show, old chum.
From potential to likely downright crap. We might have the next Waterworld. Not the fun time summer place, but, the lousy money hemmoraging movie. Disney’s “The Lone Ranger” is turd at the box office. 250 million to make the movie, 175 million to market it. Experts say it will likely lose 100-150 million dollars. Ouch!… Don’t worry soon to be fired Disney executives, I’m sure NBC will hire you.
Kate Middleton is due to give birth today. --As of typing this no baby. Looks like she missed it-- The Royal Family is doing everything they can to keep it a secret. Umm, by letting us know today was the day, didn’t it kinda defeat the purpose?, just sayin’. Anywho, only Scotland Yard will be notified, when its hospital and baby time. I’m take bets on 6 minutes before news is leaked…Sadly, I am realizing that probably IS something you can bet on. Apparently odds and bets are available for a slew of Royal Baby related items. This is like the Superbowl of pregnancy betting. Bet Britain loves this latest comparison to ‘Merica.

--Oh, P.S. Far more interesting music news came down the pipe from Pearl Jam this week. Countdown clocks have been running on their website promising something big. Monday it was announced a 24 show North American tour for this fall. Then, Thursday the big news hit. Official word of their coming 10th album. It will be called Lightning Bolt; It’s out October 15th. And, the first single is ready. It’s called Mind Your Manners. Here it is: --lemme know what you think of it!--

These Are The Things I Think About -- July2nd-July7th
Something cool to get us going. Chris Hadfield is writing a book. “An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth”. Recently returning from Commanding the International Space Station, the book is expected to be out in October. If you haven’t seen his awesome take on David Bowie’s Space Oddity yet, see it HERE on The Gilmore Blog…Click the link, Click the link now!
Along this line, Doug Engelbart, the inventor of the computer mouse has died. He was 88 years old. Click 3 times to show your condolences.
He’s been talking about it forever, and now, it looks like Tracy Morgan did get somebody pregnant. He has a daughter. His fiancé just had a baby, they named her Maven Sonae Morgan.
Music news, Ruben Studdard is joining "The Biggest Loser." Wait a second, you won the second season of American Idol, and have sold hardly any records since. Ruben Studdard you my friend already are the Biggest Loser.
Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne got married in France last Saturday. Let’s hope they stay there.
And, something to make want to smash our head against a wall. The nominees for this year’s Teen choice awards are out. Honey Boo Boo is up against the Kardashians for “best female reality star” --sidenote, how the F&^K is that even a category!, this phrase is such an oxymoron my brain hurts--...Honey Boo Boo and the Kardashians, role models. This is why kids are idiots these days
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. A little something for the SNL fans of the 90s. A parody character who made me laugh for sure, gets a fresh new take. Plus, the Lumineers will never quite be the same after you watch. This may be the greatest “So wrong it is so right” mashup I’ve seen in a while:

These Are The Things I Think About -- June17th-July1st
Happy Canada Day!
Some cool Canadiana to get us going. Terry Fox is being inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame this year! The announcement came early this week. Other new inductees will include Olympic Soccer player Christine Sinclair and Alan Thick…Awesome news, however side note, why Terry Fox is not already in EVERY Canadian Walk, Hall, Building, Designation, etc., of honour is beyond me. Terry Fox had stones the size of our country itself, a true Canadian Hero.
Shocking news from the acting world last Wednesday night. James Gandolfini, a hell of an actor, a hell of a guy it has been said, and, best known as his character Tony Soprano on The Sopranos, died. James suffered a heart attack during a visit to Italy, he died shortly after arriving at hospital. His funeral with this past Thursday in NYC. Tributes continue to roll in, a nice highlight is the ice cream shop in New Jersey where the final scene of The Sopranos was filmed. A reserved sign is placed on the table where Tony Soprano last sat in the final episode. James won 3 Emmys for his Sopranos work.
On a happier note, there were several runours last weekend Jackie Chan was dead. Good news, it was all false. Jackie Chan is Alive & Kicking ;-)
Somehow still alive and kicking Ozzy Osbourne; he and fellow Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler have quite the distinction. Their new album ‘13’ is number One in the UK and the US. It’s their first North American number 1 album. Their last album to go number 1 in the UK was ‘Paranoid’, 43 years ago.
There was a massive explosion at a fireworks factory near Montreal, last week. I know hockey announcers from the area call a goal by The Canadiens Le But (Boo), had to wonder, would they have announced this event Le Booom?!
More for Hockey fans.
A. If you didn’t know, the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup over Boston Monday. It was an amazing final round this year, amazing playoffs this year overall, if this years Cup run didn’t get Americans interested in Hockey, nothing will.
B. The home of the Ottawa Senators, Scotia Bank Place has a new deal and been renamed the Canadian Tire Centre…Or of course Sucky Senators Arena to Leafs fans ;-) ..Actually, I think Leafs fans should probably call it “Cheap Home Game Tickets Arena”. Love it when Leafs fans out number and boo Ottawa in their own arena!
Billy Ray Cyrus and wife are getting a divorce. Billy Ray’s heart described as being “Achy-Breaky” regarding the situation…The pair site ‘irreconcilable differences’. I hear they couldn’t agree on whose fault Miley Cyrus was…Yeah thanks for giving that to the world.
Last Tuesday was International Sushi Day…I don’t know, sounds a little fishy to me.
And finally, some real food for thought, chew on this one. I’m marking this down as the worst headline I’ve read in a while, quote: “Man Fingers Employer In Lawsuit”…Wait, what? yeah they should have re-wrote that one.
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. Aside from it being Canada Day, awesome!, this has got to be the next coolest thing you will hear about all day. AC/DC’s thunderstruck as played on Bagpipes. Cool enough… AC/DC’s thunderstruck as played on Bagpipes which shoot fire! Cooler!! Give it a look:
