Grilled

I watched a great movie last night! If you haven't seen the movie "Grilled", go rent it! I don't know how this movie slipped through the cracks, but I did not hear and advertising for the movie. The movie stars Ray Romano, Kevin James, Michael Rappaport, Burt Reynolds (who now officially looks like a piece of beef jerky), Juliette Lewis, and Sophia Vergarra (ding ding ding!) Kevin James and Ray Romano play struggling meat salesman who get caught up in organized crime. I know it sounds horrible, but it was really good. If you are a fan of the dark comedy, go rent this movie!

Madonna has set the record for highest grossing tour for a female artist. Tour producer Arthur Fogel puts the tally at $193.7 million from 60 shows that drew nearly 1.2 million in paid attendance.

That gross narrowly puts Madonna over Cher's benchmark of $192.5 million. However, it took Cher an endurance-testing 273 shows between June 2002 and April 2005 to reach that mark on her marathon Farewell tour.

Oh look! Madonna on a cross! My blog is soooo controversial.

Can't you just go on a Tuesday morning? Six Flags Great America is using new tactics, other than the creepy dancing old guy, to try to entice people to visit their theme parks. Cockroaches. Starting October 7, 2006, the Six Flags theme park in Illinois will offer park visitors a pass for four people to cut to the front of ride lines. The stipulation? They will have to eat a live 2- to 3-inch horned Madagascar hissing cockroach.

The park will also offer a cooked roach eating contest to park visitors on Friday the Thirteenth of October. And in case you wanted to know....The world record for eating cockroaches was set by a British man who ate 36 cockroaches!
