TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown: Numbers 4 and 3
Well I hope everyone enjoyed the M&M show for numbers 6 and 5, that being Mila Kunis and Megan Fox respectively. I know that's like a party in the pants invitation right there and with the two new girls set to go, it's only going to get better. The top 4 were hard to figure out, well 4-2 were as my number 1 is just so easy to determine, but it took me a while to figure out who was hotter but I finally managed to put together the top 4 so without further a due, here are numbers 4 and 3 of my Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown.
Her role as the invisible girl in the Fantastic Four franchise ultimately sealed the deal because I can't think of a hotter actress to play that role, she works it perfectly. So Jessica Alba earns a spot very deservingly at number four on my countdown because she is what perfect is all about. She has the body, the talent and the smile that well just makes me fall more in love with her every time I see her.
Number 3- Carrie Underwood
Well guys 8 spots up 8 spots down? What do you guys think of my most recent choices as Jessica Alba and Carrie Underwood clock in at 4 and 3 respectively? With just the top two spots remaining, it's anyone's guess to who the top two spots belong to, but you won't have to wait too long to find out who is the queen of this countdown as I'll unveil my top two choices on Wednesday July 1st.
Number 4- Jessica Alba
I Love this woman! There I said it, not only is she a good actress but she is one of the most beautiful women on the entire planet. Her body is perfect but the thing I love most about her is her face and smile. She has one of those innocent cute faces that drives me wild at least but I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to talking about Jessica Alba, the girl is a stone cold knockout.
Her smile can turn anyone's head and I don't think she gets enough credit for just how hot she is. She doesn't try to flaunt it either, she just acts and comes across as a normal person, not some stuck up Hollywood snob. She has the looks of an angel and is like the perfect girl wrapped into one.
Her role as the invisible girl in the Fantastic Four franchise ultimately sealed the deal because I can't think of a hotter actress to play that role, she works it perfectly. So Jessica Alba earns a spot very deservingly at number four on my countdown because she is what perfect is all about. She has the body, the talent and the smile that well just makes me fall more in love with her every time I see her.
Number 3- Carrie Underwood
Ok well I said I love Jessica Alba, but I love Carrie Underwood and to me she is a Goddess in human form. There is not a single bad thing I can say about Miss Underwood and the fact of the matter is she is drop dead gorgeous and oh yeah actually has some singing talent, go figure. Carrie took the world by storm after she won American Idol and is now the Queen of Country music.
Her looks have taken her to the top of men's hearts all across America including mine. While some may call her too skinny, I think she is perfect. Her body is like tight like a tiger, and her face can melt butter because it's so hot to look at. She just has the looks and she knows how to get what she wants and that isn't a bad thing.
With her career ultimately just beginning to take off she is going to be around for many years to come and as a fan of not just her physical appearance but as a fan of her music as well, this gets me very excited. Carrie Underwood is a true musical artist and oh yeah is only like one of the hottest, sexiest women walking the planet right now. So Carrie keep on doing your thing and by the way I forgot your number so can you let me have it again, next time we run into each other that is?
Well guys 8 spots up 8 spots down? What do you guys think of my most recent choices as Jessica Alba and Carrie Underwood clock in at 4 and 3 respectively? With just the top two spots remaining, it's anyone's guess to who the top two spots belong to, but you won't have to wait too long to find out who is the queen of this countdown as I'll unveil my top two choices on Wednesday July 1st.

TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown: Numbers 6 and 5
Well my friends, four ladies have come up to the plate and it's time for another two to face the music. Numbers 10 and 7 have drawn some praise and criticism from you viewers so I hope that my numbers 6 and 5 will really get us all on the same glorious path as we bask in these next two females hotness. So enough of me talking, let's get on with numbers 6 and 5.
TK
Number 6- Mila Kunis
Damn, Jackie! Well how about damn Mila Kunis! From her early days as Jackie on That 70's Show to present day movies including Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Max Payne, Mila Kunis is out to prove that she is more then a pretty face and I think she is accomplishing that with flying colors. But let's not ignore the fact of how beautiful this woman has become. She is a drop dead stunning knockout.
She is one of the smaller girls on this countdown but she packs a lot of fire power in that body of hers let me tell you. She looked amazing in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and her looks are only going to get better because she is still young. Her face is one of the best in Hollywood and that smile can turn your heart into mush.
So here's to the number 6 girl on my hottie list, Mila Kunis. She is the definition of sexy and here's to many years of staring at you on the big screen and who knows another television series sometime down the pipe, who knows, but until that time, Mila keep on being hot!
Number 5- Megan Fox
Well we all knew she was going to make an apperance on this countdown and the time has come to unveil the woman who is taking over guys hearts everywhere. Megan Fox just oozes sex appeal and I think she sweats out sexy, I mean I bet when she is all dirty and sweaty it's really hot to look at. Of course her biggest claim to fame is her role in Transformers 1 and 2, and lets just say she turned a lot of heads.
From her skimpy outfits in the first film to her very revealing and just mouth dropping outfits in the latest installment, she just knows how to work it. She has a body of a goddess and there isn't a single flaw on it. Sure she has been described as a bitch at times or can come across as such, but were here to talk about how hot Megan Fox is, I mean she is a fox, no pun intended.
While time will tell if Megan Fox ascends into the Hollywood elite of top actresses, the fact of the matter is she is one of Hollywood's hottest and youngest stars. She is what all guys are after and no matter what anyone says there is no denying or questioning the fact that Megan Fox is one amazing looking woman.
Now I told you guys I would come through and if these two ladies don't get it going for you, then go visit your local doctor immediately. These two ladies are smoking hot but we still have four ladies left to unveil and on second thought you might want to put that doctors appointment on hold for a little while longer. Check back Monday for numbers 4 and 3 of TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown!

TK's take on the King of Pop Michael Jackson
Well I'm not going to pretend I'm a die hard fan of one of music's biggest legends- Michael Jackson, but I still feel I can talk about him and yes I loved some of his music. I want to put all the other weird things aside because that's not how this man should be remembered. He should be remembered for the impact and his personal stamp he left on the entire music industry. There will never be another artist like him, and there was never another artist like him until he hit the scene.
From his early days in the Jackson 5 and of course his many years as a solo artist, the man just had a natural born gift. He was made an entertainer and man was he ever. His songs are legendary and his moves, I mean the moon walk just is amazing to see no matter how many times you've seen it or tried it yourself! He changed the landscape of music and not many artists can lay claim to that.
Billie Jean, Beat It, Black or White, the list goes on and on and this is the work that this man should and I think ultimately will be remembered for. The man has sold over hundreds and hundreds of millions of albums and I think it's important that people will remember him for the musical genius he was, and not for the other incidents that sadly tarnished this man's legacy.
Michael Jackson is an artist that millions got to see perform and it's a true tragedy that he was taken away just before he was set to return to London for a series of concerts. I know I wish I could of seen the King of Pop perform but sadly that day will never come to light. The man was and always will be the true king of Pop as he was the originator, the creator and the Godfather of Pop music, that all acts who proceed him today and tomorrow can only hope to achieve 1/10th of his success.

TK reviews 'Transformers Revenge of the Fallen'
Well ladies and gents, I'm just going to get right to the point. This movie blew me out of the water. I can honestly say it's the single greatest action and I stress action movie I've ever seen. The fight scenes in the first Transformers were few and far between but in this movie it was non stop laugh fights and you know what it all just worked.
Director Michael Bay was on top of his game and the details and attention that went into the robots this time around really shows as well. The robots looked so sharp and crisp it was amazing to see on the big screen, oh and Megan Fox was there as well. But lets get back on track here.
Transformers ROTF, just hits the ground running and really never slows down. This time around the Autobots led by Optimus Prime are working together with humans in an organization called NEST. They are going all over the globe to eliminate all decepticons who still remain and are hiding until the time to show themselves comes. So as Optimus and Iron Hide are about to take out a decepticon, the robot informs him that the Fallen shall rise again.
From here on out it's a fight against time as some of the decepticons are awoken by the Fallen from outer space and inform them to go get Megatron. Megatron is awoken by this small group and together they go out and make their cause and their presence known globally. Along the way tragedy befalls the Autobots and Sam and Mikaela's relationship suffers some setbacks along the way.
It is up to Sam and company along with some help from some familiar faces and new ones to save the planet before the Fallen and the rest of the bad guys take over the world and our existence ceases to exist. This movie takes us all over the globe and the story line really flows well from start to finish.
The action though is second to none and is the driving force behind the movie. The fights are so well drawn out and perfected it is just perfect, that's all I can say. I know I sound like a broken record but the fights rule. There are three versus one and group fights and everything in between.
This is what a summer blockbuster is all about and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen takes it to a completely new level. The acting and story are better in this film then the original and the action is unlike I've ever seen on the big screen. Michael Bay and company leave us with a great feeling and the movie will kick your ass but only in a good robot sort of way.
TK's take- 5/5 stars... A MUST SEE SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER!

TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown: Numbers 8 and 7
Ok so the first couple of ladies on this countdown got some interesting feedback from you guys. Some thoughts these ladies should have been higher while some didn't like my number 10 pick but hey it's my countdown and I'm going to do what I want. So enough of me talking and rambling, it's time for numbers 8 and 7 on TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown.
Number 8- Jessica Biel
What else can you say about her other then drop dead sexy? This girl is stunningly gorgeous and oh yes she knows it. She is the total package wrapped into one stunning figure this girl is, and man it's hard not to stare. She has been on the screen a few times most notably in I Now Pronounce you chuck and Larry, and she was phenomenal in it. Well ok, maybe I'm exaggerating but she looked good doing it.
Especially the one scene in which she is wearing a cat costume at the Halloween party it all just works so well. She has one of the best smiles and just piercing eyes I've ever seen and oh yeah they will get you every time. She is a drop dead knockout who needs to start being realized for what she is a good actress. She has been relatively quiet over the last few years only doing a project here and there but I think it's time she comes out of her shell and shows the world just what she has. And oh yeah just how sexy she is also.
Number 7- Hayden Panettiere
Oh yeah, Save the cheerleader, save the world, I would jump through hell to save Hayden. What can I say, this girl has it all. From the sweet little girl who was obsessed with football in Remember the Titans to now kicking ass and the power to live forever in Heroes, Hayden P is taking off. Not only does she have the looks but the girl can act. She is headlining a summer movie this year in I Love You Beth Cooper but her looks, wow, that's what I'm talking about.
So what do you guys think so far huh? Cuthbert, Scarlett, Hayden and now Jessica Biel. We have four spots down and six remain, but who will take over the crown as my Top Hottie? Only time will tell but I can assure you, it's going to get hotter as this list moves forward.
Oh yeah, the next two numbers won't be released until Friday, so please try and pace yourself my friends!

TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown: Numbers 10 and 9
Well guys and I guess girls, the time has arrived for a brand new TK Top 10 Countdown and thanks to a brilliant viewer who is nameless, the idea was provided to me and I ran with it. So this countdown is going to be my Top 10 Female Hotties and oh yeah I have definitely picked the best of the crop. We got some of Hollywood's elite leading ladies mixed in with some who some of you might not know. So without further a due, I would gladly like to present numbers 10 and 9 on TK's Top 10 Female Hottie Countdown.
Number 9- Scarlett Johansson
TK's take- Now people I need you to calm down and not be angry with me that I have Scarlett so low on the countdown. While this leading lady is so so sexy, there are others who are just hotter then her and I'll defend myself. Scarlett J is one of the sexiest women in Hollywood and the thing I love about her aside from her rocking body is her eyes. Like when she is on film and in pictures her eyes just grab you and it's hard to look away. She has an absolutely stunning face and there isn't a single flaw to say about her.
Stay tuned as the next two hotties on my list will be unleashed this Wednesday so please try and pace yourself my friends as it will be here before you know it, but until then, enjoy a little bit more of Elisha and Scarlett.
TK
Number 10- Elisha Cuthbert.
TK's take- I fell in love with this girl when she debuted on the hit show '24' as the daughter of Jack Bauer, Kim Bauer. She is simply stunning and just has that American girl look to her. Her face is arguably what gets me every time and when she smiles, it's like hearing the Beatles for the first time. Cuthbert really got her name into the mainstream spotlight thanks to the film 'The Girl Next Door' which is one of the greatest movies ever made, well kidding of course. But her performance in that movie certainly opened a lot of eyes you can believe that and she definitely showed that she could act and do it pretty well.
And let us not forget her small but memorable cameo in the hit 'Old School' as Luke Wilson's bosses daughter and my favorite scene of the movie where she wakes up in the morning with nothing but a t-shirt on and her pink underwear. Somebody pinch me please. She had me hooked on her from that moment on. While she hasn't been in the public limelight recently there is no denying the hotness that is Elisha Cuthbert. And as much as I hate to have her kick off the countdown she still holds a very dear place in my heart. So Elisha, as you may clock in at number 10 on this countdown I just want to say keep on rocking it girl, cause I love ya.
Number 9- Scarlett Johansson
TK's take- Now people I need you to calm down and not be angry with me that I have Scarlett so low on the countdown. While this leading lady is so so sexy, there are others who are just hotter then her and I'll defend myself. Scarlett J is one of the sexiest women in Hollywood and the thing I love about her aside from her rocking body is her eyes. Like when she is on film and in pictures her eyes just grab you and it's hard to look away. She has an absolutely stunning face and there isn't a single flaw to say about her.
From her performance in 'The Prestige' to her upcoming role in next summer's 'Iron Man 2' which I can't wait for, seriously I'm like pacing back and forth, she has shown that she can hang with some of the upper actresses in the business. Her career is just getting started and fans can expect great things to come from her in the near future I'm sure. But as for her overall hotness, SJ has it going on and will be on my list for a long long time to come!
Stay tuned as the next two hotties on my list will be unleashed this Wednesday so please try and pace yourself my friends as it will be here before you know it, but until then, enjoy a little bit more of Elisha and Scarlett.

TK reviews True Blood 'Keep This Party Going'
Well friends, to say this show is simply fantastic, would be completely accurate. After last week's unreal season finale, there was no way that True Blood could top it this week, but oh yes they did.
A lot of things are going on this week, so without further a due, lets get on with the show.
Sookie and Bill are having some relationship issues and are in dispute on how Bill should handle Jessica. I mean she is a teenage girl whose come into a whole new world now and doesn't know how to control her vampire urges on top of the ones she already has that come with being a teenager. Sookie is also confused at home as she is having trouble dealing with cleaning up her Gram's old room because she wants to be able to move on with her life. Sookie looks at an old picture of herself, Tara and Gram and goes to the restaurant to ask Tara to move in with her.
Tara who is basically living in heaven with MaryAnn is conflicted because in the back of her mind she kind of suspects that something about this whole situation is wrong. So she doesn't give Sookie a clear answer at all. Tara also gets a lot closer with the other person staying at the house and the two get to know each other a lot more. (Sorry his name escapes me). So he comes to her at the bar toward the end of the evening and lets Tara know that he wants to be with her.
Maryann in the mean time is just toying with Sam and during her stay at his restaurant it seems that she uses her undisclosed power to make everyone get up and start dancing and turns the place into one giant orgy. She confronts Sam and does her whole shaking/power type thing and transforms him into the dog and says to never confront her again.
Lafayette is the driving force behind this episode. He is confronted by Eric and is asked a couple of questions regarding the whereabouts of a missing vampire in Dallas. He doesn't know anything and is deemed useless by Eric and Pam and is sent back to the dungeon. Lafayette manages to escape from the dungeon after getting something out of the guys leg, sorry I don't know what it was because it was dark on the screen. I think it was a medal spike or something. He manages to almost escape until a bar tender shoots him in the leg.
Eric and Pam come back to confront Lafayette where he makes a deal with them. He wants them to turn him into a vampire because he would make a bad ass vampire and be their bad ass vampire. So of course Eric says he will think it over and in the end the three vampires go to work on Lafayette and apparently turn him into a vampire, tune in next week.
The episode which just flew by tonight ends with Jessica going to her home and meeting her family again but just as everything seems normal, her dad comes home and we find out that he used to beat her with the belt. But she says now its her turn and displays her fangs and then just all hell breaks loose. She starts to attack her father and just as she is about to bite her, Bill breaks down the door but is unable to enter. He glamores the little girl who lets Bill in and he is pissed. He tells Sookie to shut up and leave as he now has to clean up her mess.
And of course the episode ends, and I'm pissed. We need to wait another 7 days now to find out what Bill does with Jessica's family.
Random thoughts:
Jason is fastly becoming the king of his church retreat and is upsetting some people along the way. He dominates the capture the flag event and is asked to perform a mini play on stage where he gets a standing ovation. So Jason is definitely on his way to the promise land.
Does Jason have the power that his sister does? Is he able to hear others thoughts as well? Because at one time during tonight he seems to hear inner thoughts, but that just could of been how it was shown on tv, not sure though?
What is Maryann's power? Can she just control things with her mind? I want answers please.
All in all tonight's episode was terrific, this season is shaping up to blow season one out of the water and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'll definitely be sinking my teeth into it, ha, had to.

TK reviews Year One
TK reviews 'Year One'
Well ladies and gents, another movie that I went into thinking, this should be funny but as it would turn out, the Gods just didn't deliver the laughs in this movie. You would ultimately think that the team of Jack Black and Michael Cera, both of whom I really like would kill it in this movie but neither truly ever take hold of the movie and make it turn into something that is worth mentioning.
I'm left disappointed because I am a huge fan of Jack Black and Michael Cera but whether or not the script just didn't really suite their styles or maybe these weren't the right roles for them remains to be seen, because this movie really offers nothing to those who will go and see it, myself included. The movie at times seems to drag and it's kind of a shame seeing that it's running time is only 100 minutes long.

Now while I will admit that there are a couple of funny lines in the movie the plot of the story ultimately just goes no where. You have two prehistoric guys in Zed and Oh (Black and Cera) who are banished from their tribe after Zed eats a fruit from the forbidden tree. So Oh tags along with him and the two set out on what is supposedly the first road trip ever and along the way must rescue the loves of their lives- Eema and Maya, both of whom are quite attractive
From there Zed and Oh come across two men, Cain and Abel played by David Cross and Paul Rudd but the talents of Rudd never amount to anything as he says I believe six or seven words.

Another reason why this movie doesn't do anything for me is because the movie utilizes too much of Cross, and I'm sorry but I am not a David Cross fan and just don't think he is funny.
The cameos by Hank Azaria go wasted as well, minus the whole foreskin clipping thing and the appearance by McLovin also falls flat as he barely says anything in the movie and doesn't really get much screen time in this picture. The highlight of the movie is the appearance of the high priest played wonderfully by Oliver Platt. His interaction with Michael Cera is so awkward and funny but other then that 'Year One' just falls flat on it's face.

I'm left disappointed because I am a huge fan of Jack Black and Michael Cera but whether or not the script just didn't really suite their styles or maybe these weren't the right roles for them remains to be seen, because this movie really offers nothing to those who will go and see it, myself included. The movie at times seems to drag and it's kind of a shame seeing that it's running time is only 100 minutes long.
Directed by Harold Ramis, I truly believe fans will be left scratching their heads after this one. For having two very funny men in the title roles, 'Year One' just never really gets rolling and tries to cram this giant story into one picture. Black and Cera play off each other at times quite well but then there are scenes where the whole thing just seems faked and redundant. If your of a younger age then this movie might just be right up your alley, but for those of you my age, then it's just going to seem as this movie is nothing more then a couple of childish fart jokes that now just seem to grow a bit stale and tiresome.

TK reviews Kenny Chesney and the Sun City Carnival Tour 2009
Well ladies and gentlemen, the biggest ticket selling act decided again to take his show on the road again in hopes of another successful touring campaign. That artist, country's mega superstar, Kenny Chesney has been tearing it up lately as his Poets and Pirates tour was the most successful tour last year and this year Kenny wanted to make sure that this year's act duplicated that success.
This year's tour entitled, Sun City Carnival Tour boasted a mega lineup full of new acts and of course some of country's heavy hitters. Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, Sugarland and of course Kenny rounded out the loaded lineup this year but the show on the other hand folks, well for this attendee kind of fell a little flat and I'll give you some reasons why.
First let's take a look at the opening act, Lady Antebellum.
TK's take- I love this new band and have loved every single they put out so far. I didn't get to hear Lookin' for a Good Time, but got to hear my two other favorites including I Run to You and Love Don't Live Here Anymore. My beef here is they didn't get to play very long and what is up with that. You only give them like 30-35 minutes, that's just dumb if you ask me. They are an extremely popular act right now and more exposure would of been great for a trio of musicians who are one day going to be leading their own sold out tours. Lady A gets an A from me for their set and I wish they would of gotten a bit more time to perform.
Country's duo known as Montgomery Gentry was up next.
TK's take- A band who I like knew nothing about actually surprised me here a bit. I know like one song by MG and they actually put on a great set. Very catchy and uplifting songs so they were a pleasant surprise. They kept the crowd pumped up and definitely did their job by getting us all ready for the show. I gotta give them a B because they played to the crowd very well and had a lot of fun on the stage while doing so.
And that was put out on full display as in the end while doing some classic covers including It's Getting Hot in Here by Nelly, the two jumped into two giant clear inflatable 'hamster like' balls and rolled their way into the crowd. It was like one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Sugarland to me was the highlight of the entire show and get an A from me. They are so awesome live and I have become a life long fan because of it.
He mixed in a lot of his new things as well including his new single- Out Last Night which has become like an anthem now it seems. He also played Everybody Wants to go to Heaven and Livin in Fast Forward two of my favorite KC songs out there. But for me where I have to vent a little bit was the overall set list which somehow left off two of Kenny's bigger songs including my favorite- You Save Me and the mega hit- Don't Blink. I just didn't like the flow of the set this year compared to last year that included those two songs along with Got a Little Crazy Last Night. I'm all about mixing it up but you can't forget those songs, that just isn't right!
He gets a B from me just because of the fact I was left wanting more Kenny songs and not covers of other ones.

Up next, was that country rocker girl- Miranda Lambert.
TK's take- An act who from which I only know like 2-3 songs, so it wasn't a huge deal. The highlight of her set list was when she rolled out a cover of Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll. She is just an average performer if you want my honest opinion and to me, Kenny could of recruited someone else to fill this spot, but she was good to look at so I won't complain too much. Miranda gets a C from me only because I am just not that familiar with her songs.

Up next, the highlight of the show, SUGARLAND!
TK's take- I was probably most excited to see Lady A and this band right here, Sugarland. And wow did they deliver. Jennifer Nettles to me has music's biggest and best voice and I'll argue that with anyone. She sounds so amazing live it's scary how good it is. They opened their set with Love, their most current single and just continued to roll out the hits. Their renditions of Stay, All I Wanna Do and Baby Girl were all superb and the two of them just work so well together and have so much while performing.

Last, the headliner- Kenny Chesney.
TK's take- His entrance was pretty sweet. As the band all came on the stage everyone was wondering where he was and from the middle console he comes flying up on this swing and belts out a classic song over the crowd from his swing and then the second he touched down on the stage the lights all around Soldier Field went off, so that was pretty cool. From there he went into a lot of his old classics including Young, Never Wanted Nothing More, I Go Back and Anything but Mine.

I'm all about mixing it up but you can't forget those songs, that just isn't right!
While he still puts on a killer show and is an unbelievable performer, I felt like this was a bit lackluster from last year. He ended the show by playing a collection of other big hits including one by George Strait and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Again songs that didn't need to be performed but were while leaving out some of Kenny's bigger hits. I just didn't get it.
He gets a B from me just because of the fact I was left wanting more Kenny songs and not covers of other ones.
Overall the Sun City Carnival Tour aside from Sugarland and Lady A was a bit on the softer side this year. I think he could of brought some other acts and the show would of been a little better. Still a very fun time don't get me wrong, just kind of bummed because I didn't get to hear some songs I was hoping to really hear by Kenny.

TK reviews the season debut of 'True Blood'
It's been a long wait since last season's finale of the smash hit True Blood and it's a show I'm proud to say I watched live when it debuted, and am not a band wagon jumper. It's a great show that boasts great writing, great stories and most importantly great acting. Anna Paquin is phenomenal in the show along with Stephen Moyer as the Bill Compton, the vampire.
So with a lot hanging in the balance from the fall finale, a lot of questions were answered with a lot of new ones setup for this season.
The whole dead body in the car that ended season one, well turned out to be the exorcist lady Miss Jeanette, who had her heart ripped out of her body. So what did it? I want answers and I want them now lol. I felt bad though because she was a very interesting character but I'm sure it will all be played out in good time.
First off, spoiler alert- Lafayette is alive, but is in the dungeon of Eric's house, as we find out he is interrogating prisoners about the cause of that fire that killed three other vampires, so lets hope Lafayette can work his charm to stay alive because he is such a key figure to this show.
Elsewhere, we have Tara who has become a very key central player on the show. She no longer is just this over dramatic whiny girl, she has become centered and grounded but still has a bunch of issues bottled up inside her. She is still living with MaryAnn and I want to know what the hell is up with that crazy lady.
Jason has become obsessed with his new church and God way of life as he has turned over a new leaf. He has become completely clean and is very serious about becoming involved with this organization, who we just know has a hidden agenda and will use people like Jason to get their mission accomplished.
Back to the main characters, Sookie and Bill are having relationship problems as Bill fails to tell Sookie that he had to kill a younger girl and make her into a vampire. She has told him everything about her life but he can't open up to share the private details of his life, and that troubles Sookie. In the end, they realize that they are both in love with each other and end up well making love.
Overall, season finale was awesome. It has posed so many questions that I can't wait to get answers to. The show appears to be headed on the right track and I can't wait for the next episode of True Blood.

I'll be reviewing each episode of True Blood each Sunday, so keep checking for episode recaps of the smash hit- True Blood.

Abrams and Cruise set for MI:4?
Ok, so as I like to do before I call it a night, I like to surf the world wide web for any interesting entertainment news and something caught my eye tonight. Apparently J.J. Abrams and Tom Cruise are in talks to move ahead with 'Mission Impossible: 4.' With Cruise of course to reprise his role of Ethan Hunt and Abrams attached as the films producer. No word yet to whether or not Abrams would direct the next installment seeing that he directed the third Mission Impossible which was a terrific movie and did quite well at the box office.

TK reviews Chickenfoot's debut album!
TK Album Review
Artist- Chickenfoot
Album- Chickenfoot
When your lead singer describes the new material that his brand new band is working on as comparable to Led Zeppelin, then you're going to put some pressure on yourself to live up to those expectations. Chickenfoot has long been the rumored alias to music's latest supergroup, and what a group it is. On lead vocals you have the former front man for Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, original Van Halen bassist, Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith and on lead guitar, you might have heard of him, Joe Satriani.
So now that their debut album has been released I had to run out and buy it to see if Hagar's statement was true. And after listening to it, it's not Led Zeppelin but it has a sound that definitely reminds you of the great Zep.
Chickenfoot grab you from track one and take you on a devilish and fun rock and roll roller coaster. What makes this album and band work so well is the combination of front man Hagar with his new guitar God- Satriani. Friends, Joe flat out jams on this album. From the opening track entitled Avenida Revolucion to the quite seductive Sexy Little Thing, he just kills it. The riffs are catchy and the solos, they leave you feeling a little bit dirty because you will enjoy them so much.
The rhythm section adds a lot to the tracks as well. Michael Anthony who was very well known for backup vocals in Van Halen adds his style again backing up Hagar. The two just know how to work very well together. Chad Smith, where is this kind of drumming in the RHCP? Dude, you can flat out kill the drum kit and it shows in this band. It appears to me that the guys in this band just let loose and the product reflects that.
Their first single Oh Yeah is an instant hit on the radio and it will have you singing along every time. Soap on a Rope along with Future in the Past and Turnin' Left are just in your face flat out rock and roll arena type songs, and this is a band that if all plays out will be rocking sold out arenas in the near future.
It is very refreshing to hear a band like this as they have lived up to the hype that came with them. I mean you combine two members of Van Halen with the drummer of the RHCP and throw in Joe 'Guitar Hero' Satriani, and you can't go wrong. Every track contains a signature Satriani solo and the sound these four guys produce when it's all put together is quite magical.
Chickenfoot's self titled debut album is a fresh breath to music fans everywhere. This is definitely an in your face rock and roll band whose record just is pure rock and roll at it's finest. And in a genre that doesn't really possess too many 'fresh' and 'current' acts, this band is a great one too take the rock and roll reigns. Their debut album while it may not sell millions and millions of records, it is one that you should definitely add to your collection, especially for those of you who are rock and roll fans.

TK reviews 'The Hangover
'The Hangover' will leave you laughing until you cry!
Well I'll just flat out go ahead and say it, this movie was awesome! Going into it I had huge and I mean huge expectations for this movie for a couple of reasons. One, the director- Todd Phillips whose biggest credit includes the laugh out loud comedy- 'Old School' so you just knew it had to be in the same ball park. Second, the cast of this movie was very intriguing. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha. Not a lot of big names in this movie but boy do they come together and pull off one of the funniest comedy movies in recent time and a movie that will forever stand the test of time.
Upon coming back to normalcy they realize that something has gone horribly wrong, they can't find the groom to be Doug. So frantically the search begins and these three guys who are in the worst possible shape set out to put the pieces together of what the hell they did last night. The clues and journey they begin to unravel is so funny and the moments that they offer up are priceless and iconic. From a wedding to a lost infant being reunited with his mom (Heather Graham) who decides to um feed the baby the natural way in front of these three guys. For me one of the funniest scenes in the entire movie was when the guys are arrested and taken into police custody.

Not a lot of big names in this movie but boy do they come together and pull off one of the funniest comedy movies in recent time and a movie that will forever stand the test of time.
The movie revolves around four completely different friends who are all at completely different places in their lives. One is about to get married, one hates his life, the other is in a relationship that is completely one sided while Alan, well he is just how do you say, unique. The way these four guys come together though through the course of the movie is hysterical. The journey about how they all decide to have a night they will never forget is put into action from the get go.
Doug (Bartha) is getting married and the others want to give him one last big party before according to Phil (Cooper) he slowly begins to die with each day because he is getting married. Stu (Helms) and Alan (Galifianakis) are along for the ride and on top of their hotel room take a round of shots and promise to make this night legendary, and indeed it is. They wake up the next morning and for the life of them they can't remember what the hell happened to them.
They are all on the floor and their hotel room is completely trashed and even has a new visitor staying with them, a tiger. Oh and did I mention their was a baby in a closet also, because yeah there was!

From a wedding to a lost infant being reunited with his mom (Heather Graham) who decides to um feed the baby the natural way in front of these three guys. For me one of the funniest scenes in the entire movie was when the guys are arrested and taken into police custody.
Phil works a deal with these two cops in order to set the guys free, but first they must repay the officers because the guys stole a cop car. So the three are lined up in front of a class field trip and are used as the subjects of how to administer a stun gun. The scene is so funny and outrageous I was crying because I was laughing so hard, seriously my stomach hurt for a few minutes. The journey these three go on to get Doug back is the driving force behind the movie and it never grows old for a second, it keeps you laughing with every new twist and turn that arises.
'The Hangover' just simply flat out rocks and is easily the funniest movie you're going to see this year, I'll guarantee that here and now. The cast deliver lines off one another so easily it's mesmerizing to watch. Todd Phillips has struck comedic gold once again and this movie ascends it's predecessor 'Old School' in the whose funnier column. The movie is funny from the very beginning and the ending credits will have you falling out of your seat, I promise!
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and escpsially Zack Galifianakis can now be seen as true comedic God's in my opinion. They play off each other so well and Zack for me steals the movie. He is a scene stealer ladies and gentlemen. His character is so different from anything I've ever seen and he made me laugh so much it still hurts. This comedy didn't need any big stars but I think just found some new ones because these guys are so funny, I know I sound like a broken record but it's true. The movie rocks!
'The Hangover' is the definition of what a buddy comedy is all about. Here are four different guys who for one night are going to put all their personal things at home aside to assure their good friend has the time of his life. That is something I'm sure a lot of us can relate to or after seeing this movie are going to try and duplicate in our own lives. Just try not to wake up the next morning missing any teeth, that's my only advice, the rest, just go crazy!
TK's rating: 5 out of 5 stars
A must see!!!

Hi everybody..
Hey everybody,
Just wanted to let you know that it's been a super crazy week so far, so haven't been able to update the blog as much, but never fear things are happening. Will have my review of 'The Hangover' up tonight as I'm going to see that, and I can't wait, should be amazing.
Working really hard on the radio show for next week and I think it's going to be awesome, maybe even our best yet, so stick around as we'll be posting a show preview hopefully soon.
Got to go get ready for work, so check back tonight for my review of 'The Hangover.'

I can't ignore this..
Ok so I briefly and I mean briefly watched a little bit of NBC's new show 'I'm a Celebrity- Get Me out of Here,' and after watching it for a few minutes I developed a hatrid so strong it's scary. I absolutely can't stand Heidi and Spencer on that show. I know that they are products of MTV, but to hear them say they are too rich and to famous to be on that show, is a freaking joke. Are you two kidding me? You two are complete and utter jokes who will probably be divorced in under a year (I think they got married recently) and famous, please I am more famous then you ha.
These two are jokes and really should be left on an island somewhere where no one can hear them call for help. Too rich and famous, give me a break. You guys suck! In a year's time, no one is going to know who you are and you both need to shut the hell up because you're both a bunch of spoiled babies, so shut it.

TK's June Movie Preview: Get ready to laugh!
Well friends, what a month for movies we just had. We had some huge blockbusters all crammed in together and I got to see them all, and am proud to say was happy with all of them. But it's time to put the giant movies out of the way and get back to what I love to do and that's laugh. And if you're a fan of comedies like I am, then wow, June is going to have you falling out of your chair because you will be laughing. The heavyweights are clocking in: Ferrell, Black, Cera, Reynolds, Bullock to name a few are all in funny movies this month. So what should you go and see and maybe what to avoid and wait for it to hit shelves? I'll tackle all the big movies for this month, so let's get it started.
So I'm proud to present an in-depth view at the June movies you won't want to miss!
Land of the Lost (June 5)
So I'm proud to present an in-depth view at the June movies you won't want to miss!
Land of the Lost (June 5)
TK's take: Well for being a Will Ferrell movie I must admit that I'm not too pumped up for this one as I have been for his other films. Sure it looks ok and kind of funny but that's about it. The trailers really haven't stood out to me that much and it just looks to be another one of those films that will get overlooked by the masses. Ferrell develops a time machine and of course is sent back in time with two companions and must find their way back home. Dinosaurs and God only knows what else lies waiting for them in this movie.
The Hangover (June 5)
TK's take: Is anyone else pacing back and forth just waiting for this movie to come out? I know I am. The trailers have been laugh out loud funny and with Todd Phillips directing this movie, 'Old School' I think we're going to have another instant classic comedy film when it's all said and done. Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms lead the way in this film about a batchelor party that goes off the charts in where else, Vegas. I think this will easily take the cake for being the funniest movie of the year and am setting the bar high for this one. But if the trailers are any early indication, then this movie is going to have us all laughing for quite some time.
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (June 12)
TK's take: Well you got two heavyweight actors in this new suspense style movie, Travolta and Washington. From what I've seen so far this movie definitely intrigues me, and I actually want to go see it because of that. Travolta plays a criminal who apparently has hijacked a subway train and wants Washington to come meet him and deliver him some money. This should be a good back and forth, good vs. evil style movie and Washington has been on his game lately and I've always been a fan of Travolta. If you're looking for a good suspense movie, I think this is going to be one that is worth checking out.
The Proposal (June 19)
TK's take: Well I'm not a huge Sandra Bullock fan, but I'm a huge Ryan Reynolds fan. This movie looks really funny actually from clips I've seen. Basically Bullock has to marry Reynolds otherwise she loses her green card and is out of here. Of course the two can't stand eachother because she is his boss. The two inevitably become closer together and well let's face it, I'm sure they end up falling in love. Reynolds and Bullock should play well off each other and actually make the movie enjoyable. I don't know if I'll be rushing to it opening weekend, but I think it'll definitely be worth renting once it comes out on DVD because it should be a decent movie.
Year One (June 19)
TK's take: It's the first road trip in the history of road trips, how can you not be excited to see this movie. Jack Black and Michael Cera have had me sold since the project was announced, and throw in cameos from David Cross and the one and only Paul Rudd and McLovin, and you have the making for a great comedy movie. Black and Cera play two lonely cavemen who together set out on an epic journey to rescue a lost girl, one who Cera has the hot's for. Black and Cera should work quite nicely together and provide us all with some very funny one-liners, if what shows up in the trailer makes it's way to the big screen. I'll definitely be checking this film out on opening night, because it's going to be great.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 24)
TK's take: I'm freaking out just waiting for this movie to arrive. With the new trailers out, and now viewed by me at least 100 times, I can't wait for this flick. The first one was awesome and the second one I think is going to blow it out of this world. All the main guys are back but director Michael Bay has served up nearly a dozen new robots for this thriller of a sequel. War is upon the autobots yet again and it's up to Sam and company to make sure Earth doesn't fall into the bad guys' control. Plus it doesn't hurt to see Megan Fox throughout a film now does it? Transformers should be one of the biggest grossing films not just in June but for the entire year as well. This movie should be huge and it's easily going to be the biggest film of June, I can't wait!!!
Other notables:
My Life in Ruins (June 5)
Imagine That (June 12)

So there you have it. June is going to be the month full of laughs but the month wraps up with arguably one of the most anticipated movies of the entire year in Transformers 2. Hope you guys enjoy these films, and I'll see you at the show.

TK's take on the Twilight show, sorry MTV Movie Awards
What an utter complete piece of garbage that show just was? Seriously, what appeal does Andy Samberg have to the general public? I find him so annoying it's sick. People like him as a host and I ask why? For every second he was on screen tonight, I almost was forced to turn it off. The man is not funny people, it is the people around him that are the real funny people here, please start to see this.
Anyways, the show tonight was just awkward to watch and rather uncomfortable. Aside from the new Transformers and Harry Potter clips, the show was pretty lame, but did have a few moments that people will be talking about. Most notably, Sacha Baron Cohen flying through the crowd dressed as his new persona- Bruno. He descends from the ceiling wearing almost nothing but a thong and lands ass first in the face of none other then Eminem. Whether or not this was planned/staged remains to be known but Eminem didn't look happy.
Other kudos, to Kiefer Sutherland, the man is a God in human form. His praise to Ben Stiller stole the show in my opinion as he was brought to tears when talking about Stiller's career. Also need to give a huge shout out to the funniest man on the planet- JIM CARREY! He won best comedic performance for his work in Yes Man! His speech/inner thoughts was priceless.
And oh yeah every category went to Twilight, there's your recap. I am a fan of the movie don't get me wrong but I mean best movie over the Dark Knight, give me a break. The trailer for New Moon does look pretty bad ass though.
Did you guys watch the show? What did you guys think? Are you Samberg haters like myself? Please let me know and leave comments!
