Surely no one saw this coming: Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier and Artist wonder dog on whose behalf the Consider Uggie awards campaign has surged ever onward for nearly three months now, won the top prize Monday at the inaugural Golden Collar Awards.
That’s really all I have to say about that, deferring instead to Uggie’s trainer Omar Von Muller, who put the purpose of the whole phenomenon in perspective while accepting the trophy with his winning pooch:
Von Muller said the award was “overwhelming” adding: “He has been my buddy forever and is a great performer and great family member.”
He also thanked award organizers DogNewsDaily.com saying: “This is very important for all the trainers in the movie industry, because we have never been recognized before, and people just don’t understand that it takes hundreds and even thousands of hours to train a dog.”
Exactly. Respect!

Full Story »Movieline has a storied past with Human Centipede, a film that I consider a beacon of hope for rectal seamstresses everywhere. Some people aren’t so chipper about the movie’s after-effects, and one such doubter is New Kid on the Block/Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg, who is seriously traumatized by the hundred-legged, coprophaghic sensation of light, sound, and ass. Watch this survivor tell his story on video.
Mr. Wahlberg’s words speak for themselves:
“I was disturbed for weeks. I had to watch it, so I could face the fear. And I faced it. And I feel better,” he said of his current take on the horror flick now that he’s seen it. “Face the fear. It’s the only way. I would get random moments — like I’d just be sitting around eating a sandwich and go ‘ugh.’ I’d think of the box of the DVD. Now I feel better. Now I can talk about it openly and I don’t get queasy.”
Here’s the full video. Donnie’s wearing his white “Emily Dickinson’s Pimp Uncle” hat while NKOTB bandmate Danny Wood and Backstreet Boys Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell flank him on the right. The trauma is palpable.

Granted they’re both by the same director, Romain Gavras, so maybe it’s not quite a rip-off but more of an influence?
Thoughts??
