We all know that Bruce Willis is a bad mofo. He’s battled and defeated multiple terrorists, saved a man that was trying to kill him from being ass-raped by some hillbillies, traveled through time to try and save the future from a devastating disease, and helped a child cope with a terrifying talent of seeing dead people… even though he was one of them. He’s even saved the planet a couple of times.
Well, it’s about time that Bruce Willis gets his own tribute video. Check out Jeep Cherokee‘s tribute to the man himself, titled “I’m Bruce Willis”.
“That ain’t a po-po, that’s Carl Winslow” is one of the best lines in music history.
Bosses at the Oscars have defended their decision to leave Farrah Fawcett out of the memorial montage – insisting it’s impossible to pay tribute to every star who passed away in the last year.
The Charlie’s Angels actress, who died in June (09), was absent from the Academy Awards’ Tribute Montage section on Sunday night (07Mar10), which marked the deaths of stars including Brittany Murphy and Patrick Swayze.
The snub sparked speculation she was left out because of her predominant television career, with some online critics slamming the ceremony heads for not adding her to the clip. Jane Fonda was also shocked Fawcett was left out, and wrote on Twitter.com:
“Where was Farrah Fawcett? She should have been included. #oscars #FAIL”
“No Farrah in the memorial. They have a whole lot of ‘splaining (sic) to do.”
And U.S. TV personality Star Jones is fuming the actress was not included, because she appeared in movies including The Cannonball Run and The Apostle and was even nominated for a Golden Globe for 1987 film Extremities.
“FYI (for your information)… Farrah had a very diverse career… that included Broadway, TV & Film. She even received a Golden Globe nom (sic).”
But Oscar bosses have defended their decision. Bruce Davis, the executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, says,
“It is the single most troubling element of the Oscar show every year. Because more people die each year than can possibly be included in that segment. You are dropping people who the public knows. It’s just not comfortable.”
Hey Bruce, you also forgot Bea Arthur!
This isn’t rocket science people! Make the video long enough, or go through the celebrities who died faster. Don’t leave ANY of them out!
There’s four separate tribute covers available this week from Entertainment Weekly. The covers feature Michael Jackson singing at home in 1972; on the set of the “Thriller†video in 1983 (pictured above); a portrait taken in 1983; and performing in New York City on Sept. 10, 2001.
Entertainment Weekly columnist Stephen King writes,
“It’s worth noting that he was never convicted of anything in criminal court, and when I asked Mick—who hung out with Michael occasionally— he was emphatic in his belief that Michael Jackson was indeed innocent of the abuse allegations.
In the court of public opinion, however, he was found guilty of Weirdness in the First Degree, and ended up secluded in one haunted castle after another. Finally, he died in one.
Strange man. Lost man. And not unique in his passing. Like James Dean, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, and a dozen others we could name, he just left the building far too soon. Because, man oh man, that guy could dance.â€
What a nice tribute!
It’s sad that some media outlets, like OK! magazine, elect to use a cover showing a deadMichael Jackson as their tribute issue.
The magazine reportedly spent close to $500,000 to obtain their cover pic of the legendary King of Pop.
