Buzz Dump: You're Such a Zellweger, Dude

Holy cow, is it mid-August or what. And now with peace in the Middle East again what happened to the news today. Hello. Hello. Is this thing on? Anywhoo. Here's some stuff:

*Oh, joy of joys. Renee Zellweger is being joined by Bradley Cooper - that wanker from Wedding Crashers - for the thriller Case 39 which starts shooting here September 5th. Will she out-diva Jessica Alba? Stay tuned.

*Here's another reason to avoid taking the Sky Train. "Rise of the Robots Skytrain Party (August 18th)": "featuring live automaton beats, a booming 500-watt renegade soundsystem, outrageous costumes, over-the-top décor, sexy androids, cyborgs and a robotpilot t-shirt giveaway! Dress in nuts and bolts, white + silver, or your favourite bot." Indiana Jones hates snakes, I hate robots. And nothing is cooler than an August night on public transit. (Via Beyond Robson)

*Everyone seems to be talking about how 11 Universities including UBC and SFU are pulling out of Maclean's University Ranking system. I love that Maclean's is doing it anyway and now hopefully they start sexing it up. (via Metroblogging Vancouver)

*Mathew Good is back blogging and for some this is a good thing. I think the only interesting thing I could add is that I miss Jennifer Good. And then over at Kitsilano.ca we get the word that she is no longer a Good it would seem. Jenny, please come back to the web for us. We miss you. (PS: Any details on this and Jenny's wherabouts comment below)

*Darren Barefoot on the dirty dirty webrings of Douglas Coupland.

*Yep, sounds like The Morrissey to me.

*Nice to see that reporters are skipping the whole research period and going directly to Craigslist for story ideas.

*This one goes out to Craig. A little Clint Eastwood, Japanese style. Trailers for his next films. Enjoy.

*Your West Coast Moment of Zen: Classic Alec Baldwin and his Schweaty Balls.

Post since removed from the Mblog: "It rained that day. Come to think of it, the priest died a month later. It’s not an easy thing to find out that while you were sitting at home eating pizza and watching movies that the reason you were at that church on that rainy day was running around town with a cocaine addled stock broker. It’s not an easy thing to come to terms with the fact that you were just a means to an end, and that everyone around you saw it but you.

The very best of luck to her new bank account."

Ya, let's bring back an idiotic tart with zero to say that screwed over an intelligent guy that has loads to say about things that actually matter. The best thing that ever happened to her was marrying Matt. The best thing that ever happened to Matt was her leaving because she landed someone richer and who could feed her nose with powder. If he had sense - and I betcha he does - she probably has a gag order - so I doubt there's going to be dirt. But according to Matt's blog she's refusing to changer her last name back to her maiden name - so it looks like she needs the identity to make her more than just another pretty blond ditz in a town overloaded with them.

Good to see your blog celebrates this kind of thing.

Why slag the robot party? You're probably a "no fun" Vancouverite. Think outside the box!

Jenny Good is a skank. It was so obvious she was cheating on him long before this broke. Just looking at the posts on her website told you that. Sad how much a man can be blinded by snatch.
