Nicholas Cage as Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger.
Okay, I admit it. There is absolutely no truth behind my sensational headline (take that Nickelback!) however, that was the first thing that popped into my head after seeing this photo of Nicholas Cage on the set of his new (sigh) movie The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (WHY?) in Tribeca.
More photos of Nick devouring a pickle here.
The Radiant Child. A documentary about artist Jean Michel Basquiat. Directed by Tamara Davis.

Mickey Rourke at the 2010 Golden Globes.
How Mickey managed to match his gold cowboy pimp chains to his hat is a mystery to me. With that said, I’d still hit it with a riding crop. And blindfolds. Anyway, here’s Mickey Rourke giving the paps the 2 am “what’s your number ’cause I lost mine” side-eye at the Golden Globes last weekend.

The Q walks the Golden Globes Red Carpet with Melanie Laurent, who played Shoshana, the Nazi killing theater owner in Inglourious Basterds.
Quentin Tarantino: What’s so funny Mel?
Melanie Laurent: I’m not laughing, I’m vamping. There’s a difference. Your Tux is ridicul…er, don’t be ridiculous.
Q: What did you just say?
Melanie: What? Sorry, did you say something Q?
Q: Did you just call my Tux ridiculous?
Melanie: Oh look, isn’t that Mira Sorvino?
Q: Really? Where? Hold on, does this Tux make me look fat?
Melanie: Oh NO. You look fantastic. Hahahahaha!
Q: What’s so funny now?
Melanie: Nothing Q. I always laugh when I’m nervous…or standing next to someone who likes to wear their elegant pajamas in public.
Q: Pajamas? I’ll have you know that this Tux is a perfect blend of East meets West couture made especially for me, Quentin Tarantino! ALRIGHT?
Melanie: Okay, Q. If I say I like your Tux, can I still play “Sexy Assailant 3″ in Kill Bill 3?
Q: No.
Melanie: Hahahaha! Your Tux is ridiculous! And I also thought Jackie Brown was a trite piece of shit. Damn! I feel so much better.
Q: Wait, is that Pam Grier? Hey Pam, I want to introduce you to the soon-to-be-has-been actress, Melanie Laurent. ALRIGHT!?
Pam: Quentin, what the Bruce Lee hell are you wearing? Did someone die? Or did you just get back from your monthly visit to Kabukicho and simply didn’t have time to change?
Q: Nobody died, ALRIGHT? ALRIGHT!? Fuck! Where is Christina Hendricks and her enormous rack when you need them. Oh, wait. There they are…
Died Young, Stayed Pretty. A film about rock posters. Thanks to Dr. H.
Last night I was one of seven people (including my good friend Dr. H, the projectionist) that took in the movie Died Young, Stayed Pretty at The Grand Illusion here in Seattle. Yeah, I know it was a Sunday and yeah, Died Young is an obscure flick that documents the anti-culture artists that have been creating rock posters over the last couple of decades. However, Died Young is not only an enthralling movie if you’re a rock junkie like me, it’s also an expertly edited, introspective look into the lives of the artists that do what they do because they can’t not do it. Hometown bonus points to director Eileen Yaghoobian for the screen-time dedicated to Seattle’s vibrant, underground rock-art scene.
Died Young, Stayed Pretty runs through Thursday at The Grand Illusion.

Mickey Rourke not only smokes ‘em if he’s got ‘em, he smokes them when he’s got them all at once. Now that’s class.
As much as I wish it was, this isn’t a photo of Mickey Rourke showing off how he can hold up a brick wall while smoking not one but two ciggys. Anyway, here’s a photo of Mickey Rourke on the set of his new movie with Megan Fox, Passion Play. While smoking two cigarettes and holding up a brick wall.
Hit me with your best shot…

Christopher Lee, Vampire, Metal God, chick magnet.
Legendary actor Christopher Lee will be releasing Charlemange, a symphonic metal concept album on March 15th. Back in 2005, Lee recorded this video for New York band Manowar, clearly stating that much like Dracula, metal will never “die”. Christopher Lee is 88 years old. Take that Nickelback…
More info and to listen to music samples from Charlemagne, here.

Japanese mobile phone commercial staring The Q.
If you’re curious, the lose translation of Tarantino’s dialog in this Japanese cell phone commercial is, “Hai-ya! Samurai spirit!! Get him with the samurai sword! Ho-ha!”. The bizarre ad concludes when a call from Tarantino’s “wife” comes through on the dog speakerphone telling Tarantino to, “Get home right now!”.
Rest assured, Tarantino made it home just in time to make it to the 21st Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. The director’s cinematic accomplishments will be honored when he accepts the Sonny Bono Visionary Award at the festival that kicks off tomorrow, January 5th.
Thanks!: BLORT!
Mae West & Cherrybomb wish you a Happy New Year!
I think inside every girl is a girl just like Mae West trying to come out. True story…
Fix, an extreme access pass into the 10th circle and reign of Ministry. Coming in 2010. For NPD.
Fix, a new big screen doc on Ministry promises an unfiltered look into the acid soaked, Very Metal world of a band that played a defining role in the industrial metal scene in the 1990’s.
I saw Ministry in 1992 when Lollapalooza came through Boston and to this day, that set ranks up there as one of the greatest live experiences I’ve ever had. Despite the fact that I lost my shoes to the frothing crowd when dreadlocked devil trooper, Al Jourgensen, marched out on stage carrying a skull on a stick. There aren’t many bands I’d be willing to walk home barefoot for, but Ministry is one of them. The band called it quits in 2008.
You can watch the trailer for Fix here.
