The online amatuers at Crikey present our favourite trash for the week:
Will the Obama girls appear on Hannah Montana? Billy Ray Cyrus has offered Barack Obama’s young daughters Malia and Sasha guest spots on his daughter’s Disney series Hannah Montana, says CBS. Jebus, Billy, they’re not the Bush twins — keep your nude-photo-posing, non-seat-belt-wearing, underwear-model-dating daughter away from them. Run, Obamas, run!
Monopoly: The Movie. This is not a joke (as far as we can tell): there is going to be a movie version of Monopoly. The board game. And Ridley Scott is involved. Go directly to video. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Mama don’t preach. Madonna has allowed Guy Ritchie to see their two sons — under 12 conditions, reports the Daily Mail. Some of the rules include: not reading magazines or newspapers, or watching TV or DVDs; only eating an organic, macrobiotic, vegetarian diet; and regularly cleaning the boys’ hands with disinfectant spray when in public.
Enter bankman. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has sold a painting by Jean Michel-Basquiat for almost $14-million. Not that it’s really news that the ageing rocker has a massively expensive art collection, but it’s funny when the guy is still bashing along to lyrics like: I’ve already died/You’re just the funeral/I’ve been waiting for cyanide/Living dead inside. Yeah, life’s tough, man.

I seen that Monopoly - The Movie item. With Ridley Scott. FTW? Apparently it’s going to have a “futuristic” theme. So that’d be the Star Wars Monopoly, presumably. Or perhaps like Alien. Don’t buy the utility on LV-426, man!
Then again I guess if they could make a Pokemon movie, Monopoly will be a cinch.
The general sentiment in the office was that Hungry, Hungry Hippos would make for a more exciting flick.
Hungry Hungry Hippo is an Olympic sport as well so yeah, good call.
