The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

Hollywood definitely loves “bad boys” and in the top ten list of the most baddest actors there is no doubt that Charlie Sheen is in the top 3; there are many ways to classify Charlie in the bad boys ranks one of the reasons is that we love his gibberish, the other reason his downfall from the movies and his incursion in the television world but basically the reason why Charlie Sheen is a bad boy it’s because the way he threats women.

He is basically the male version of Elizabeth Taylor mixed a little bit with Mike Tyson and O.J. Simpson; we know that Charlie Sheen has a long history with many women only surpassed by heavy singer Gene Simmons; it’s amazing Charlie’s relationship history is almost as crazy as his views on politics and 911. I got the idea after his actual wife said that divorce is a possibility and well this is his relationship walk trough with photos (Hey thank God Charlie is not a baseball player because if he fails on number 3 he is going to be out!):

The Many Woman of Charlie Sheen a Photo Walk Through:

* Paula Profit and daughter Cassandra Sheen:

Finding a photo of Charlie first love on the internet is impossible but that doesn’t mean we can get an idea from his first daughter (Cassandra) about how his high school sweetheart looks Paula looks; the relation eventually ended because both were young. Cassandra went lo live with his paternal grandparent Martin and right now is impossible to find any decent information regarding Paula but from what I can see about Cass is that maybe her mom his a big woman too.

Kelly Preston: Sweet and lovable Kelly Preston was another in the line of Charlie Sheen girls (so Charlie was going to be the original John Travolta?) with Kelly relation the world saw how volatile Charlie Sheen was when after several domestic disputes (those weren’t the last) shot Kelly in the arm with a gun and Kelly had to put an end in the project relationship with Charlie Sheen (maybe that was the reason she went with John Travolta).

Donna Peele: Charlie first wife who is a smart and sexy photographer which also is the woman in Charlie’s life that is forgotten by many; their marriage lasted little than a year but their divorce took a decade (see kiddies that happens when you marriage by the church), the couple didn’t had a baby together which probably was one of the best things that happened to her because she is not linked to Charlie Sheen in the present days by any mean.

Ginger Lynn Allen: It seems a bad boy needed a femme fatale and what better that porno legend Ginger Lynn? It seemed that Charlie really cared about Ginger because during Ginger’s trial some letters that were written by Charlie were used to prove that Charlie really cared about her well being(also to prove that Charlie Sheen like hookers). Ginger wasn’t going to be the last one of Charlie Sheen “easy” women.

In the year 1993 Hollywood Madame Heidi Fleiss stated that Charlie Sheen was one of her costumers and by consequence she exposed Charlie’s fetishism for sluts.

Heather Hunter: Another porn actress, Charlie was involved with Heather during the mid and part of the late 90’s. Now Heather is a NYC based painter.

In the year 1998 tried to inject cocaine in his system and he almost died by an overdose. He was hospitalized and later sent to rehab. His father Martin issued a public apology and appeal for his own son.

Denise Richards: Probably Charlie most famour relation was with his wife #2 former actress turned reality television “star” Denise Richards which she and Charlie had to daughters Lola and Sam J. As Denise reality show their relationship was complicated to the very beginning. Charlie married Denise in the year 2002 after a brief courtship in 2001. They looked so perfect together but soon allegations of Charlie violent nature started to circulate and three years later Denise filed for the divorce papers for the first time citing irreconcilable differences to some alleged death threats made by the actor but Denise stoped the papers a couple of weeks later and both tried to improve their relationship but it didn’t worked so Denise and Denise in the new papers cited that Charlie Sheen was an erratic man and she was scared for her well being as well her daughters well being.

Denise described some of Charlie behavior as an erratic man who constantly was abusive toward her; a fascination with Nicole Simpson murder, not letting to feed her daughter Sam with baby formula because according to Charlie baby formula produce brain damage in the baby and wanting to place guns below the coffee tables to protect the family (see case two of the list).

At the end Denise divorced Charlie and got a restraining order against Sheen and not letting him be present during their second child birth who was in the middle of their divorce.

Brooke Mueller: Charlie’s third wife, mother to the fourth and fifth Children of Charlie.On May 30, 2008, Sheen married Brooke Mueller (also known as Brooke Allen), a real estate investor. This was the third marriage for Sheen and the first for Mueller. The couple’s twins, Bob and Max, were born on March 14, 2009.

Sheen was arrested on charges of domestic violence against Mueller on December 25, 2009. Pending charges include second-degree assault and menacing, both felonies, along with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. He was released from the Pitkin County, Colorado Jail after posting an $8,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on February 8, 2010.[32] Law enforcement sources cited by TMZ.com said Mueller initially told 911 dispatchers Sheen had assaulted her, alleging Sheen put a knife to her throat and made threats to kill. Her 911 call was later released to the media.[33] She later recanted that story to police, claiming instead she was drunk when she called 911.[34] Mueller had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.13 that night, Sheen’s BAC was 0.04.

El Arte de La Risa

Charla Virtual con Kenny Hotz

El arte de la comedia refleja parte del lenguaje y vivencias de una persona. El lenguaje de la risa proviene de lo que hemos vivido y la manera como relatamos nuestras vivencias para generar una respuesta positiva en los escucha; Kenneth Joel Hotz o mejor conocido como Kenny Hotz en el mundo de la televisión y la prensa Canadiense. Kenny es el co-creador de una de las series de culto Kenny Vs Spenny en el canal de cable Comedy Central donde a través de una premisa sencilla donde compite con su mejor amigo Spencer Rice para ver cuál de los dos es el mejor.

La trayectoria de Kenny Hotz ha sido única en el mundo del entretenimiento donde comenzó como el único documentalista Canadiense registrado para cubrir la guerra del golfo hasta entrar al mundo de la televisión como productor, actor, escritor y consultor creativo de la controversial serie South Park. A continuación nos cuenta su experiencia en el mundo del entretenimiento.

¿Qué fue lo que le intereso en el periodismo y la producción audiovisual?.

Cuando estaba pequeño mi mama nos envió a mí y a mi hermano a un campamento de producción audiovisual ahí hice mi primera caricatura pero mi hermano que era y es un excelente artista, me sentía frustrado al no poder dibujar nada y eventualmente deje esa idea al tratar de ser como él. En los días de mi Bar Mitzvah con la plata que me regalaron compre mi primera cámara y comencé a fotografiar, fue genial en sentir que estaba haciendo arte con mis imágenes pero en el proceso me aburrí y volví al proceso de realizar pelicular otra vez aunque el proceso de realizar una película es divertido pero yo era flojo debido a que el proceso es lento pero si uno se mantiene constante uno logra finalizarlo.

¿Dónde estudiaste periodismo?

No, fui a la escuela de producción audiovisual pero en si no me enseño nada. Lo que aprendí, lo aprendí viendo películas y por la televisión viéndolas. Cuando era un adolecente me robe un proyector de películas de mi secundaria y cómo en la biblioteca local habían más de 60.000 películas terminaba durante varios meses del año encerrado en el sótano de mis padres devorando todo lo que podía ver. La razón por la que hice trabajo periodístico en fotografía fue para mejorar mi portafolio.

¿Qué anécdota puede contar acerca de tus experiencias como el único Artista Canadiense registrado para cubrir la Guerra del Golfo?

Bueno al final no suena tan loco como fue en realidad. Estuve estacionado en Israel, todos los viernes podía ver misiles scud sobre Israel. Durante mi estadía tome más de cuarenta rollos de película de 30×40 los cuales vendí a varios museos de Canadá, de hecho ese dinero que gane por las fotos me sirvió para financiar el guion “The Dawn” el mismo guion que tratamos de vender en la película “Pitch”.

¿Cómo fue concebida la idea de Kenny Vs. Spenny y Testees?.

La idea de Kenny contra Spenny provino de un viejo programa de MTV llamado “Celebrity Death Match” y nuestra película “Pitch”. En “Pitch” nosotros tratamos de vender un guion y al final Kenny contra Spenny es una idea derivada de ambas experiencias. El primero en vender el guion gana y el segundo pierde. Spenny quería hacer mas actuación pero yo estaba en contra de eso pero luego de viajar a diferentes festivales internacionales donde la gente disfrutaba viéndonos pelear ahí fue donde vimos que teníamos algo bueno y que podíamos llevar a cabo.

¿Cómo fue la experiencia trabajando en South Park?

Desquiciante. Pero no puedo hablar debido a un contrato de confidencialidad pero en general fue asombrosa, gane peso debido a todo el pollo frito que Trey Parker (co-creador de la serie) me hizo comer. Ellos son unos genios y ciertamente son increíbles. Ciertamente te hace esmerarte y dar lo mejor de ti después de reunirte con ellos.

¿Cómo fue la experiencia de trabajo en la película de Kevin Smith Zach and Mirri Make a Porno?

Fue increíble, my primera vez en un set de una película. Me divertí muchísimo pero al mismo tiempo estaba asustado porque crei que podía arruinar la filmación; me encanto trabajar con ellos; ahora mismo me encuentro haciendo más actuación con guion, tengo que admitir que lo detesto un poco pero igual la hago.

No doubt there is something special in the Evans family beside that they are good looking and talented it’s difficult not to spot them and Scott is not the exception to the rule, being the younger brother of Chris Evans from the Fantastic Four movies and son of Lisa Evans a well known actress in the world of American Soap Operas such as Guiding Light where she plays Scott television mother also. Different as many newcomers Scott played a more safe card instead of risking it all with the acting world, based on the success of his older brother Chris in the field of acting after several years Scott decided to go himself too into the acting business.

As many actors Scott wasn’t the exception and started in Law and Order, Criminal Intend where he played the young husband of a mystery writer played by actress Brenda Strong where he steals money from his wife and tries to flee to Mexico. Then after landing several guest roles on different series as well on Guiding Light he landed a role on the acclaimed Soap Opera One Life to Live, at first it was a guest starting role for a couple of episodes but the role extended over a year and maybe is going to extend a little more as the soap executives are planning to expand his character Oliver Fish story. I just hope that Scott can play the transition to different roles and not to suffer the curse of soap opera actors that only end playing the same role for an extended numbers of years without the possibility to shine.

Scott was born in Sudburry, Massachusetts in the year 1983; his brother Chris (The Human Torch of the Fantastic Four was born two years early) ; his dad Robert “Bob” is a dentist and his mom Lisa is an actress and a Dancer; Scott went to study acting in the New York University. During an interview with the Advocate his brother Chris said that his younger brother is gay, not officially outing him out but rather commenting that how his brother realized much of his true self and how their mom reacted really cool to a news that many parents take as the end of the world; maybe because of that interview his career took on a new plane and it didn’t damaged his future plan because when he took the role of Oliver Fish he added a new twist on the conservative world of Soap Operas.

Ok we know he can play a vampire but playing one of the most iconic character in the comic books, Magneto? That’s going to be hard to believe but in a recent interview Robert Pattinson said he wants to play a super powered individual and his choice is none other than Magneto but that’s going to be hard specially since a movie about Magneto is on the works with Ian McKellen and currently to be released in the year 2013He replied: “Well, yeah, I think everyone wonders about that sometimes. My little cousin tells me I look like Magneto, so I guess that’s who I should probably play.”

Spinoff movie X-Men Origins: Magneto is currently in the works, but X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner and the film’s writer David Goyer have recently admitted that it is not a high-priority project.

Maybe there are on the news too much and too much exposition about this power couple up to the point where much of their so called perfection seem to be just a fabricated image to sell tabloids and television shows which I’m not going to name them just to avoid time; but it’s too much of a fairy tale that seems unreal. Every time I go to the supermarket and I check on the magazine there isn’t a magazine that shows some kind of fabricated story of these two people.

The most recent story which I have seen it for over a year now is that these two are heading to splitsville and so? I don’t care if these two people split, I’m not a lonely woman who like to read all these fantasies because I have a life. It’s quite interesting that much of the magazines say the same but they said things that we know i.e. Brad Pitt being a pott head and Angelina being a Madonna-type bitch where she thinks she is on the top of the world. Lately there are been some news that author Ian Halperin has spent the last few years of his life to take out the mask of this famous couple and he found several interesting things that much of their fairy tale image it’s just a publicity stunt to promote the career of these two actors, no wonder they have to live in a big manor it’s the only way to be away in the same house from the person you only like because she is good in bed. Here are a few details found by Halperin after supposedly interviewing  900 sources that had some kind of contact with the couple:

1) Jolie and Pitt were definitely having sex while he was married.
2) Jolie was the best sex Pitt ever had and that was the reason Brad left his wife.
3) Angelina definitely had incestuous relationship with her brother.
4) Jolie’s children are cash cows because she consistently uses them to garner publicity and to make money off the tabloids.
5) Jolie had sex with her mother’s boyfriend when she was 14
6) Aniston definitely wanted children because she had two miscarriages. One in 2003, and one in 2004.
7) Jolie was the person who planted and continues to plant stories about herself and negative about Aniston to make the press and Brangeloonies buy her new image. Jolie was the one who planted the stories that Aniston did not want to have children so that people (especially women) will not view her as a homewrecker.
When she decided to steal a married man, Pitt was (GASP!) her THIRD choice. She set her eyes on Clinton and Johnny Depp (like he would waste his time with a floozy like her)
9)Pitt is still a pothead and smokes pot around his children
10) Jolie is still on heroin because she is Fake-a-la ferocity, the still as yet unconfirmed BI by Ted Casablanca.
11) The kicker to it all is the fact that Jolie’s charity works are ALL DEFLECTIONS. Start to keep track. Everytime they have a movie coming out, they release a charity announcement while using the money that they made off their children to garner publicity. Everytime they have bad press, they (Jolie) spread the rumours and tidbits with something charitable as a DEFLECTION TOOL.
12) They have not stopped this book from being published, and they have not sued on the contents or the details of the book. What does that tell you??? It is mostly TRUE!!!
13) This book is only the beginning, there is a second book that will be published in the coming months from Andrew Morton that promises to blow the lid off their charade. Not to say that people who have been onto their PR tricks and gimmicks will be surprised in any way. It’s just the Brangeloonies and fools who buy into their bullshit that stand to be severely heartbroken.

NO MORE OF THESE TWO!

Not everything was golden to now famous actor Taylor Lautner, when Taylor was in high school he wasn’t confident as he’s now as he was having problems with his esteem has many teenagers, in the case of Taylor not because of his personal appearance or his inteligence but rather because he was a child actor.

In a recent interview to the Rolling Stone Magazine, Taylor told “Because I was an actor, there was a little bullying going on. Not physical bullying but people was making fun of what I do… I just to tell myself I can’t let this get to me; this is what I love to do and I’m going to continue to do it”.

Aside when he was asked about his ambiguous sexual persona and his romance with singer Taylor Swift told that but definitely get along but nothing else happened between them but that they are close. Bullying happens everywhere at any time when someone feels envy about what you do, the key is to feel good with yourself and find support to overcome the commentaries that people make.

According to tmz.com the show Entourage is plagued with a terrible environment to work because actors and crew go from throwing racial, religion, sexual and any kind of slurs toward anybody. Actor Rex Lee spoke with TMZ about he being the target of several gay and ethnic jokes from his co-stars but he didn’t said any names but he expressed “I try to not be bothered by the comments”.

After Lee confession the creator of the show Doug Ellin told tmz that he would be speaking with the crew to try to put the gossips and bullying at ease (much like high school). But what can you expect Rex when you are working with some of Hollywood biggest douches?. 

So the original modern cowboy Clint Eastwood got The French Legion of Honor by the hand of one of his biggest fans in history President Nikolas Sarkozy who also gave the actor the title of Commander - A Title that is only reserved to the French who had given a positive cultural impact to the country and not foreigners who played in spaghetti western; but Clint taking advantage of the opportunity and the honor called France his “second home” and even so far he played a little bit with his numero uno fanboy the President by thanking him about the honor and praising the French culture.

Definitely not the average bear but according to Celebuzz.com Justin Timberlake is going to be playing Yogi’s life partner Boo Boo The Bear in the upcoming movie adaptation of Yogi Bear. Beside standing Justin with the NSYNC poppers, his solo career and his “movie career” which will be covering the facebook movie and now he wants to ruin one of the most beloved characters by playing him in a movie. No way; and who is going to play Yogi? Kevin Spacey? Time will tell. On a side note has anyone noted that both characters are similar in looks?

The reboot of Star Trek won the Best Film Award of the Hollywood Film Festival, for the best movie of 2009 (yeah the movie rules and I’m not a Trekkie) plus Zachary Quinto was awarded with the Spotlight Award 2009 (given by the femme fatale and heroine of Lost Michelle Monaghan).

Genre is not an issue of body but an issue of mind and influenced by roles in a society. A man is not going to be less of a man if he will express some emotions or say I love you, you are what you are but also society can be young an immature to accept more than the previously established conventionalism maybe as a society we have a long way to go to understand that the world is not black and white but it have all the specters of color imaginable. Maybe with Chaz Bono we have learned a few new things about the reassignment process that is not easy on a personal and social level but feeling good with your outside as you are in your insides can make you overcome with any challenge in life.

Is interesting that someone public as Chaz is giving to the public a more deep look about the process even if he wants to maintain it private it has become public than any other celebrity because of the interest of the media but even in that circus Chaz says that he’s starting to feel happy in the outside as in the inside because he’s becoming what he really was; but in a process like that, that is so delicate the person like Chaz can achieve a successful result with emotional support because after the operations there are going to be emotional wounds as well.
