PARIS HILTON REACTS TO MCCAIN AD

Like you didn’t know this was coming: Paris Hilton made a tongue-in-cheek video response to John McCain in which she says she’s “like, totally ready to lead.”

The ad:

My take: I think it’s funny! My favorite line? “See you at the debate, bitches!”

PROTESTS BEGIN AT BEIJING OLYMPICS

Protestors are beginning to use the Beijing Olympics as a public ground for protests. Earlier today, protestors hung a banner with “Free Tibet” while U.S. (hottie) swimmer Amanda Beard also made a public gesture about animal rights.

My take: Good for them! I bet China doesn’t use any tanks this time to stifle unrest as they’ve done in the past…

“THE DARK KNIGHT” CLEARS $400 MILLION

Continuing to break box office records, “The Dark Knight” made $400 million in only 18 days, smashing the previous record — “Shrek 2″ — which did it in 43 days.

My take: Wow. I knew it was a good movie, but at this pace, it’s going to break all the records.

Our good friend, Drew Loftis — who I consider a bona fide movie expert, said he thinks TDK is the best movie he’s ever seen. I’m not quite ready to call it that yet, but it’s certainly the best one I’ve seen this year.

A POST-SCRIPT TO YESTERDAY

Rob Bizzell let me know that, indeed, Bev Perdue was in Kinston in May and June. My bad. As I said to him in my response, I need to realize that “news” happened in Kinston before I got here! Thanks, Rob.
