Mickey Rourke attended the after-party for a screening of Scream 4 on Tuesday night and Vulture managed to catch up with him for a little chat and he told them the reason he was there was to see Harvey Weinstein because he didn’t know anything about the movie.
Talk quickly moved onto Rourke’s own movies, one of which he stars in with Megan Fox and Bill Murray, well he didn’t speak too kindly about that movie. He was then asked on when he said Megan was “the best young actress I’ve ever worked with” and instead of sticking to that he changed his tune. Here is how it all went down:
What about 50 Cent? He’s hosting. “I haven’t seen him.”
You guys are in a movie together, right? “A really bad movie, yeah.”
What?! Is it out? “No, it’s so bad it can’t get out.”
Tell me why you made it. “For the money.”
But you think the movie’s bad. “Terrible.”
Why? “You have to watch it.”
What about your movie with Megan Fox and Bill Murray? “Terrible. Another terrible movie. But, you know, in your career and all the movies you make, you’re going to make dozens of terrible ones.”
You called Megan Fox, like, one of the best actresses of all time. “That I worked with [smirk].”
That movie’s getting limited release. “That’s because it’s not very good.”
I know a good movie we can talk about: your rugby movie. “That’ll be a great movie. We start shooting February.”
There is nothing really for me to say is there? This is all hilarious to me. As much as he is a douche bag I can’t help but like Mickey Rourke.
As with every disaster that happens the amount of douchebags that come out of the wood works and show themselves off for what they are – a douchebag, just like 50 Cent did with his tweets and Gilbert Gottfried also with his tweets. Because of these people Vanity Fair have come up with a list of the 5 most appalling videos that came out after the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. Here they are:
1. Meet YouTube user tamtampamela. She believes that “God shook the country of Japan, he literally grabbed the country by the shoulders and said, ‘Hey, look, I’m here!’” [“Literally.”—Ed.] She continues, “Oh, it’s just so amazing to see how God can just answer prayers like this.”
2. Are you there, God? It’s us, VF Daily. If we could have one prayer answered, it would be to see this lady sing about Revelation 21:8 (“the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur”) to the tune of “Baa, Baa, Blacksheep,” literally. Your basic earthquake-is-a-sign-from-God response plus one orange T-shirt.
3. If Godzilla could destroy anything it’d be this video. Well, technically it would be the first video in the list, but he would get to this one, too.
4. Be sure to listen to this with your earphones on, please. “American manners,” O.K.? This lady has the following things to say about “Asians in the library”: “I swear, they’re going through their whole families, just checking on everybody from the tsunami thing—I mean, I know, O.K., that sounds horrible, like, I feel bad for all people affected by the tsunami, but if you’re gonna go call your address book, you might as well go outside because if something is wrong, you might really freak out if you’re in the library and everyone’s quiet.”
5. And now, a quick reprieve from the horrors of the four previous videos: the requisite (but brilliant) parodic defense of the library screed. “I mean, you see the thing that I just don’t get: I mean like, she said, ‘I want no one to take offense to this.’”
One word – douchebags.

Gilbert Gottfried has joined 50 Cent by landing in hot water after making some sick jokes about the Tsuanmi in Japan, but Gilbert has gone one step further and not only received backlash but he has now been fired by Aflac Inc.
Gilbert has been the voice of Aflac Inc’s iconic duck since 2000 but yesterday they handed him his pink slip after he made a series of bad jokes about Japan, which is apparently Aflac’s most important market. Here is some of his Tweets:
“Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them” and “I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, ‘they’ll be another one floating by any minute now’” and “I fucked a girl in japan. She screamed ‘I feel the earth move and I’m getting wet.’”
All of the Tweets have since been deleted and he hasn’t updated his account since Sunday but either way Aflac weren’t laughing at these jokes and fired his ass, announced they are holding a nationwide casting call to replace him and are also donating $100 million to disaster relief. They also released a statement saying:
“Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac. There is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times.”
Considering that 75% of Aflac’s business comes from Japan, this is really the only move that they could make isn’t it? What a dumb ass. Speaking of jokes, I’m sick of hearing them and none of them make me laugh.
Rapper 50 Cent sent out a few insensitive tweets in the aftermath of the devastating Japan earthquake and tsunami, and the Twitterverse was not pleased.
The rapper took to Twitter Friday while the U.S. West Coast braced for a potential tsunami, writing, “Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing.”
He also tried to make light of the international emergency. “Look this is very serious people I had to evacuate all my hoess from LA, Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol,” he wrote.
He also tweeted, “Its all good Till b**ches see there christian louboutins floating down da street shit gone get crazy.”
After receiving a flood of backlash for his comments, he defended his right to tweet whatever he wants, claiming he does it for the “shock value.”
“Nah this is nuts but what can anyone do about it. Let’s pray for anyone who has lost someone,” he tweeted. “Some of my tweets are ignorant I do it for shock value. Hate it or love it. I’m cool either way 50cent.”
Meanwhile, other celebrities are showing their support for the people of Japan. Lady Gagatweeted Friday, “I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet….ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters.”
Supermodel Petra Nemcova, who famously survived the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in Thailand, is closely monitoring the situation in Japan. After her harrowing experience, she created the Happy Hearts Foundation, which helps children affected by natural disasters.
“My heart goes out to the people of Japan,” she said. “I speak for all the Happy Hearts Fund team, volunteers and supporters around the world when I say that we are thinking of them today and will be through the rebuilding process.”
The Red Cross urges: “Text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific.”
It looks like 50 Cent’s son is following his fathers footsteps when it comes to being a douchebag because they Tweeted these photos of him chewing on a bunch of money.
50 Cent and his son were using Twitter the other day to brag about how much money they have, a month after 50 tweeted a photo of himself playing with $500,000. They tweeted captions like these….
“Like father like son he eating. Lol. Oh my god dad were rich. Lol. My dad is getting so much money its making me cry. Lol. I need a blood test this kid don’t look like me lol.”
They sure do like the use of “lol” don’t they? These photos make me sick, there are people out there on the streets while this lot have nothing better to do than put up photos of them play eating a bunch of money. Must be nice.

You couldn’t make up this shit if you tried – 50 Cent‘s house was broken into earlier this morning and one of the burglars was found drinking wine while sitting inside a closet.
TMZ reports that 50′s ridiculously big 52-room mansion in Connecticut was broken intwo by two men earlier this morning and police got a phone call at 6am from security guards who were concerned about a suspicious car out in the driveway.
Police then arrived and found one of the men easily enough but couldn’t find the second one because he was hiding in a closet while drinking down a bottle of wine which he robbed from 50′s home. The mans name is Alexander Hernandez, and he is now my new hero (aside from the breaking and entering of course).
They were both arrested and said they gained entry through an unlocked door, both of them were in possession of weed on them and were held on $50,000 bond. I’d like to know how the hell the police found even the first man because the house is so big.

Eventually NBC is going to have so many comedy series that expanding their Thursday night line-up to a second night (and thus finding room for Parks & Recreation) will be a breeze.
The network picked up a pilot today based on comedienne Chelsea Handler’s memoir, Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea.
The show will focus on Handler’s twenties, and unfortunately not on her batty relationship with 50 Cent.
