Obama: Stop Medical Marijuana Prosecutions

"Video: Feds to Stop Medical Marijuana Prosecution" - The Associated Press President Barack Obama, who was photographed smoking weed during his college years at Harvard University, has instructed U.S. authorities to, "Stop medical marijuana prosecutions." Hmm I wonder why, Obama. Just kidding. You want to know what I find amazing. The sheer number of rappers that have medical ailments and use marijuana for "medicinal" purposes.

Megan Fox Is A Pothead

Megan Fox, who is clearly allergic to publicists, not publicity, professed her love of weed to the press, stating she loves to get stoned, whilst watching the reality TV show "Tori & Dean."

Considering you are one of the stars of a family franchise film "Transformers" you could have kept that unsavory tidbit to yourself. However, this does explain what happened to your brain cells.

Megan Fox Watches Reality TV While Smoking Weed

Aug 24 2009. Posted by Adam - Megan FoxMegan Fox has revealed what she does in her spare time — she sits at home watching Tori Spelling’s reality TV show while smoking cannabis.

The Transformers actress says she likes nothing more than an afternoon of pot and trashy television. “I usually smoke weed and watch Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” she told a British newspaper when asked how she relaxes.

Fox, 23, has previously called for the legalization of cannabis...

"Inglorious Basterds" Opening Weekend

Actor Brad Pitt's graphic film "Inglorious Basterds" directed by Quentin Tarantino, is projected to open at number one at the North American Box Office this weekend, with a moderate take of $30-$35 million in ticket sales.

"Brad Pitt Is A Basterd"

Two days ago, the New York Times published an article, questioning the lackluster box office sales of late, of Hollywood A-List stars such as Pitt and wondered if he would be able to break out of that rut.

Well, it does not appear so, as opening numbers for "Inglorious Basterds" are slightly above average, but by no means a smash.

The only big box office hit thus far this year was the movie "Transformers" starring Megan Fox and Shia LaBoeuf. Maybe opportunistic, fame loving, attention seeking, weed smoking Brad will dump his partner Angelina for her knock off Megan. It's not like he hasn't done something like that before.

A-List Stars Flailing at the Box Office This Summer

Published: August 20, 2009 - LOS ANGELES — The spring and summer box office has murdered megawatt stars like Will Ferrell, Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Eddie Murphy, John Travolta, Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks and Adam Sandler.

Can Brad Pitt escape? A-list movie stars have long been measured by their ability to fill theaters on opening weekend. But never have so many failed to deliver, resulting in some rare soul-searching by motion picture studios about why the old formula isn’t working — and a great deal of agita from stars (and agents) about the potential vaporization of their $20 million paychecks.

“The cratering of films with big stars is astounding,” said Peter Guber, the former chairman of Sony Pictures who is now a producer and industry elder statesman. “These supertalented people are failing to aggregate a large audience, and everybody is looking for answers.”

Mr. Guber added, “Even Johnny Depp” — starring in the drama “Public Enemies” — “didn’t exactly deliver a phenomenal result.”

Mr. Ferrell bombed in “Land of the Lost,” a $100 million comedy that sold only $49 million in tickets in North America. Ms. Roberts missed with “Duplicity,” a $60 million thriller that sold $40.5 million. “Angels & Demons” (Mr. Hanks) was soft. Ditto for “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3” (Mr. Washington and Mr. Travolta)...

The fading ability of Hollywood stars to command box office attention, and why it’s happening, has been a perennial topic in Hollywood. And economists and academics have long argued that marquee names are not worth their expense.

“Stars and success as a corollary is largely a myth,” said S. Abraham Ravid, an economics professor at Rutgers University who has conducted several studies on movie business practices.

But some of the same chewed-over reasoning for lessening star power has become even truer with time: people are harder to move off the sofa; a plethora of entertainment options competes for time and attention; the Web and paparazzi culture have made it difficult for stars to stand apart as rare and unique...

Brad Pitt Is A Weed Smoking Liar

Brad Pitt has been caught in a lie, outed by none other than his buddy, director Quentin Tarantino, for stating he gave up smoking marijuana when he had kids. Tarantino stated this week, Pitt recently offered to split a block of weed with him.

Three months ago in this Column, I wrote about his partner Angelina Jolie, still grappling with illegal drug cravings (hint hint), after having abused her body and mind, with various narcotics for years.

While, I’m not fan of the Jolie Pitts, here’s hoping they kick the addiction for the sake of their six children, as being raised by unreformed addicts is destructive.

Brad Pitt 'still smokes pot' says Quentin Tarantino

19/08/2009 - The Hollywood star - who could apparently roll a spliff better than Bob Marley - insisted he had given up his herbal habit when he became dad to Angelina Jolie's brood.

He said of his spliff-rolling skills at the time: "I'm an artist at it, what can I say. But I'm a dad now, you have to be alert." However, after telling the lovely Ange he had put his pot-smoking days behind him, bad Brad's pal Quentin Tarantino went and grassed him up.

The director went on Howard Stern's radio show to reveal Brad offered him drugs during a meeting for his Inglorious Basterds film.

He told the American shock jock how Brad "pulled out a brick of hash" during their meeting to discuss the film at his French home.

Then when Brad passed him an empty can of coke to use as a pipe to smoke the weed, the Pulp Fiction legend said: "Yeah, I know what to do with this."

Ange will not be Jolie pleased...
