Weekend Leftovers: Voyager, Alba, and Beyond

Like a really great meatloaf, enjoy some nearly stale, but still enjoyable links we were too lazy to post over the weekend.

*Most interesting article all weekend? This one about Voyager 1 sailing past 100 AU's and still going. Just remember at some point 'Vger' will come back and Kirk will have to deal with it.

*Best article of the Weekend. Ron Rosenbaum's how did we live without treatist on the one, the only, Johnny Drama from Entrourage. "...one could look at Johnny Drama in a different way: as part of the great tradition of American losers. Not malevolent so much as self-destructive, and at least a little bit lovable (or pitiable) because they’re so unself-aware—so oblivious at times—of how they get in their own way."

*I really can't get over this one. The buddy cop action film with the Ontario cop and the Quebec cop. Maybe its the French wine, but this kicks ass.

*Best quote of the entire weekend. Mr. Bill Murray: "I tell people I'm retired. I kinda like this Jay-Z thing, where he's retired, but he keeps doing shows. I think I beat him to that. If you say you're retired, people don't bother you so much, and then if you want to do something, you can do it."

*Nicky Hilton previews her new Miami hotel with some really neat mood boards. Mood boards?

*Dear god. If I had to watch this, you do too.

*No surprise really, Lainey spies Jessica Alba and while very beautiful, she's still a bitch. Sigh. Turns out she's been in New York this week too where she acts not like a bitch. Weird. Meanwhile Calgary Sun sends Kevin Williamson to see Ms. Alba on set.

*Is anything better than Kate Beckinsale.

*W.P. Kinsella in The Province offers a differing view on the Insite injection site. "Those who inject filth purchased from an illegal drug trade deserve nothing from society. They are a small, intransigent group who are being rewarded for bad behaviour." Is this like "if you build it he will come" W.P. Kinsella? 'Cause that's ironic...

*David Brent (Ricky Gervais) does some shilling for Microsoft with rather hilarious results.

*Mayor Sam Sullivan goes to Seattle and finds the two cities have similarities. Wow. We both like coffee, we're both in the Northwest Coast, we both have drug and homeless problems. Congrats Sam, well done!

*Wow here's a real surprise, 40-year looking for a hit movie to revive career Halle Berry is open to doing a nother X-Men movie. Imagine that. All that and more from this weekend's Lynne McNamara column where in a slow movie news week she talks of ancient celeb Shecky Green. And come on, no one at at Joe Fortes this week? Not even Jean Claude Van Damme? I don't believe it.

*North Vancouver Politiics shows us the funny pick up after your dog sign. The bureacrats are killing themselves with gold like this.

*Metroblogging Vancouver finds Blood Alley and doesn't exactly sell it. Coolest part of Vancouver you've never seen? Maybe, certainly not after this promotional video.

**And in honor of Entourage, how about your West Coast Leftover moment of Zenizzle: The best of Ari Gold.
