Hottie, Actor, Rocker..He does it ALL..
The rumors were wrong about a special guest Rock’n with Alice Cooper at a club in London. It wasn’t Slash. It was Johnny…

If you ever had a doubt that ‘JOHNNY ROCKS’, which I never have. This proves it! Although, I’m a bit alarmed by the shorter hair. In my Johnny plays guitar fantasty, he has longer hair and I’m the only one in the audience. HE STILL ROCKS!!

Update Tuesday 6/28:- 
My 2 cents Transformers 3 ark of the Moon review:
 I was so excited yesterday to see my 1st IMAX movie at the Bob Bulluck Museum. I was not disappointed when it came to the B.B Imax. It Rocked! The ultimate 3-D experience for sure.  I was also excited that my Honey Ted and I were having a date night to the movie. He’s a BIG Transformers fan, way back from the ’80s. He was excited to see how they did with T3 and the 3-D effects! As far as the 3-D it was very COOL! The movie as a whole. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!! The script was poor, directing poor.. it seemed more like scene by scene rather than a movie with flow. The acting was mediocre to VERY POOR. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who took over for Megan Fox as Sam’s love interest Carly, she was Beautiful! We all know a Victoria Secret Model. Director Michael Day wanted us all to know ‘She’s a Pretty Girl’. We definitely got that message. (If this was the movie, it would be expected that she appear, so I have to put her picture in)
 
Just a small picture,  a tease of the many more larger than life sized scenes you will catch her in. Her introduction in the movie should make her personal trainer a busy person in Hollywood!
Ted was upset that they were showing her more in a scene with Patrick Dempsy (Yep Dr. McDreamy), who played her boss Dylan, rather than his uber expensive cars. He said out loud, Show the car not her.!!’ That’s why I LOVE HIM.. LOL!!
As far as Rosie’s acting debut…did you ever see Mariah Carey’s ‘Glitter’ or at least the trailer? I missed Megan/Mikaela’s more beautiful tomboy-ish nature.  Also in this movie, the Autobots  had a strong showing in the action parts, but not much as far as their characters and personalities like the earlier movies.  The movie seemed about 1/2 hour to long too (run time about 2 1/2 hours).   Transformers 3 opens  Friday 7/1. I know it will make a butt load of $$$ over the holiday weekend. But as an over all movie, minus the special effects/3-D, it would have been more of a B movie. The effects save the movie! There are some VERY COOL action scenes/stunts, but there was  fewer of those scenes compared to others that were  mucking the movie up!   

In the word’s of USA Today - ‘Tranformers 3 might as well have been written by a machine, given its tin-eared comedy and noisy soullessness.’ 

________________________________________________________

Coming to theaters this Friday 7/1..

… I’m checking out a screening tonight! I’ll let you know if it’s worth the $10 plus bucks to see it. from the trailer it looks like it ROCKS!!
You could have your own ‘Bumblebee’ !

The incident took place shortly after noon at the Health and Human Services building in the 4800 block of North Lamar. Officials said a man walked into the building with a box full of chemicals, intending to start up his own drug lab in the stairwell of the parking garage.

When police arrived, they found the man singing and chanting loudly.

No word from authorities on what chemicals the man had in his possession

Cassiday would text because she’d be surer that it would go through. Alex told us if he was on a plane that was going down; he’d call his mom first.

JB and Alex hate to shop in stores, but love to order stuff because they love when it comes to the door. Sandy says there is nothing he hates more than shopping, and says he’d rather throw up for an hour than shop for an hour.

Katy Perry is about to break a record if she has 5 billboard #1 hits from the same album.
