While you were sleeping

Costner comedy doesn't win many votes I apologize for that unwitty and obvious lead-in sentence, but it's early and it's all I've got. Right now, Swing Vote is sitting at 40 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes with reviewers saying things like "American democracy has rarely looked worse than in this unfunny and undramatic comedy-drama." And it gets much worse when we look at The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Exactly none of the reviews are fresh. One reviewer says, "The movie feels like the direct-to-dvd version of The Mummy, complete with cheesy, already-done CG effects, and best of all, not a single actual mummy in the entire movie." Looks like I'm watching Mamma Mia! again.

Good luck with that, Balty TMZ reports that Balthazar Getty, whose "relationship" with topless wonder Sienna Miller seems to have abated, is pleading and begging for his wife to take him back. TMZ writes that "We're also told Balthazar has been calling Rosetta incessantly. She refuses to answer and he hangs up. In short, she wants nothing to do with him."   

The LaAccident is disrupting Transformers 2 That was a terrible lead-in as well. I need more vitamins or something. Anyway, Shia's little brush with a roll-over earlier in the week is, according to Variety, "throwing a monkey wrench into the production sked." The mag says that, according to a source, at least two days of filming were lost on the big-budget tentpole. 

Move it The trailer for Madagascar 2 is right here and it's cute.

Guy Ritchie hates sugar According to The Mirror Madonna's husband says that, "Sugar kills. Think of the calories in sugar. Fat kills more people than anything else. Sugar is responsible for a lot of deaths, arguably more than crack cocaine." I don't care. I love sugar. Sugar is delicious in every way. Without sugar there would be no chocolate, no cake and, most importantly, none of those funnel cakes and elephant ears and other delicious things they serve at The Ex. I love The Ex. Just a couple of weeks and it's here, full of sugar and cheap toys and potato peelers that are so efficient they'll completely change your outlook on life. That had absolutely nothing to do with anything.

There's no mummy in "The Mummy." And there's no Robin in "The Dark Knight." Life isn't fair.
