A TENACIOUS UPDATE

Don’t forget that The Self Proclaimed World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band, TENACIOUS D, will appear on NBC’s LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY this Wednesday, January 23rd, 2002.

How about The D, on TV? Does that move you?

May’s “Spider- Man” movie is keeping it’s World Trade Centre shots in.

I don’t want to make a big deal over this, but I want to say Happy Birthday to my friend and anythingbut.com partner Dave.

Today is his birthday!

Happy Birthday buddy!

They don’t, but a rival network is saying that MTV Canada plays too many videos. Just for fun, can you guess who the rival network is?!?

After taking a few years off to have some kids (unfortunately they aren’t mine) Jodie Foster is back making movies again! And first up is a thriller with David Fincher, the director of “Seven” and “Fight Club!” So, do you want to see the trailer for “Panic Room”?

You should! Then get ready! The movie hits theatres March 8, 2002.

Hank Azaria’s show has been yanked by NBC after only 2 weeks.

In a weird twist of fate, I’ve never been in a sitcom and I have done almost as many episodes as Hank Azaria.

Up next, I aim to score as many goals as Donald Brashear!

…the re- release of George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” soars to the top of the British charts.

Are the North American charts next?

After a week of fun in the snow, “Personal Velocity” takes top honours at the Sundance Film Festival.

The next big festival in Utah? The Winter Olympics!

And it’s doubtful Mariah Carey will win there either.

The Academy Award nominations don’t come out for almost a month, but with “A Beautiful Mind” winning 4 Golden Globes, and “Moulin Rouge” recieving 3, the stage is set for Oscar.

Here’s the complete list of Globe winners and (now) Academy Award front runners.

But just remember, just because someone wins, doesn’t mean they deserve to.
