‘The Love Guru’ So Bad, Even Harry Knowles Hates It
With The Love Guru sporting a Shyamalanian Metascore of 24 and an even more dismal 11 percent on Rotten Tomatoes ("A Cinematic Bed of Nails!" exclaims one headline), many have long since concluded that Mike Myers's ashram-based comedy is every bit as terrible as it looked from the trailer. Still, we thought, just because the critics are unanimous doesn't mean they're right.
But then, this morning, Ain't It Cool News' Harry Knowles weighed in: "The Love Guru is astonishingly rancid." Not just rancid — rancid in a way that is astonishing. Recently, Knowles declared Speed Racer "the single greatest trip" since the final sequence in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. He absolutely
loved Rambo. His taste in comedy has been broad enough to embrace Semi-Pro, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, and Beerfest ("easily the funniest film I've seen this year"). And even Harry says, in The Love Guru, Mike Myers "puts a shotgun in the mouth of comedy and kills it," so we're starting to think it might be kind of bad. —Linda Holmes

Desperate Housewives - Housewives Audience Slow To Return
ABC's Desperate Housewives
may have continued to dominate the ratings Sunday night, capturing 15.4 million viewers,
but the number remained well below that of a couple of years ago when the program
regularly captured more than 20 million. But then, ratings for other top network
programs Sunday also showed the continuing ratings erosion since the writers' strike.
(Sunday's New York Times reported that the television networks have seen six
million viewers disappear since the 2007 May sweeps.) Bucking the trend on Sunday
was ABC's Brothers & Sisters, which drew 11.02 million viewers to a season-finale
episode following Housewives in which two gay characters were married.

Lance Armstrong - Armstrong Dodges Fathers Day Questions After Celebrating With Hudson
LATEST: Cycling champion LANCE ARMSTRONG is still refusing to confirm his relationship with KATE HUDSON, despite the pair spending Father's Day (15Jun08) together with their kids.
The couple has been romantically linked since they were spotted kissing and cuddling during a party at the Cannes International Film Festival in France in May (08) - and have fuelled speculation by dodging questions on the subject, while repeatedly being photographed together.
Armstrong and Hudson spent Sunday in New York with the actress's ex-husband Chris Robinson, their young son Ryder and Armstrong's own three children.
But when he was asked about his day on The Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday (17Jun08), he smirked and refused to acknowledge Hudson was even with him.
Armstrong said, "I hung out. My kids were here with me in New York City with me so we had a brunch thing and then we went to go see this movie the Incredible Hulk."

German power alloy band Grave Digger was formed in late 1980 by frontman Chris Boltendahl, guitar player Peter Masson, bassist Willi Lackmann and drummer Albert Eckardt. Debuting 3 old age by and by on the Rock from Hell digest, in 1984 Grave Digger returned with the full-length Heavy Metal Breakdown; later the following year's Witch Hunter, Lackmann left hand the lineup, and was replaced by bassist C.F. Brank for 1986's War Games. The mathematical group then cut their name to just Digger for 1987's Stronger than Ever, which saw guitarist Uwe Lulis subbing for Masson; Boltendahl and so dissolved the project, finally reuniting with Lulis in 1991 and recruiting newfangled bassist Tomi Gottlich and drummer Jörg Michael for The Reaper, credited once again to Grave Digger. Drummer Frank Ullrich replaced Michael for 1995's Heart of Darkness, with percussion duties handled by Stefan Arnold on Tunes of War; with the going away of Gottlich, Jens Becker false the bass for 1998's Knights of the Cross. Keyboardist H.P. Katzenburg expanded the Grave Digger lineup to a five-piece for Excalibur, issued a year later.

Guitarist David "Fusee" Fiuczynski came to prominence with the 1994 release, titled Lunar Crush. An excursion that as well featured the roughshod and sweeping reasoned and style of Hammond B-3 harmonium specialist John Medeski, of "Medeski, Martin & Wood" fame. Thus, Fiuczynski's angulate and often maverick wording on with savage chops and an expansive jazz fusion/rock vernacular alerted more than than just a few. The "Fuzee" has besides recorded with drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson's high-energy ensembles, herald Jack Walrath, New York City "Downtown" composer/saxophonist John Zorn, the late advanced jazz pianist Don Pullen, and crataegus oxycantha others of note. However, the guitarist's Screaming Headless Torsos quartette boasts world-beat rhythms integrated with complex jazz fusion time signatures and blare psychedelic overtones atop the musical rhythm section's bone stifling backbeats. Fiuczynski's 1999 drive, Jazz Punk, as well serves as an alluring glimpse into the artist's diverse repertoire and willingness to incorporate disparate art forms into his modernist overture. With this tone ending, the "Fuse" demonstrates a awful staff for melding Chopin, John Philip Sousa, Hendrix, and other composers of note, into jazzy, electrified themes and conniving statements with raw, untouched firepower. Fiuczynski's 2001 field day coroneted Amandala was produced and recorded for his FuzeLicious Morsels label, as the artist continues to seek out new terrain patch as well paralleling his signature musical mode of carrying out with forward-thinking methodologies and novel applications.

New U2 movie premieres at Sundance
Speaking to the Associated Press before the screening, U2 guitarist The Edge said: "I was really hoping we weren't crap after all these years. Luckily we weren't."
He was joined at the screening by singer Bono, drummer Larry Mullen and bassist Adam Clayton.
Commenting on seeing himself in 3D on a cinema screen, Bono said: "It's kind of horrific. It's bad enough on a small screen. Now you get to see the lard arse 40-foot tall."
The film, which is the first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production, will be shown at Cineworld, Movies at Dundrum and Movies at Swords - all in Dublin - from 22 February. It will also be screened at SGC Dungarvan in Co Waterford.
