Climate change denial as done by a WWF wrestler ... and June Sarpong | Leo Hickman

Jesse "The Body" Ventura, former wrestler and governor of Minnesota, has produced a shockingly one-eyed, and bizarre, TV 'investigation' about climate change
Who do you turn to when you want to blow wide open the conspiracy that is global warming? That's right. Jesse "The Body" Ventura — the man who has variously been a special forces operative, motorcycle gang member, WWF wrestler and governor of Minnesota, and who now promotes himself as a seeker of the "truth" in a new TV show called Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura.
Having completed the job of exposing the 9/11 conspiracy in the previous episode of the series for the Us cable network truTV (slogan: "Not Reality. Actuality"), last week Ventura set his investigative sights on global warming. In just 60 minutes, he proved once and for all that we've all been duped by a small cabal of profiteers obsessed with creating a new world order. The whole scam,

Review: Collapse

Documentary filmmaker Chris Smith and investigative reporter Michael Ruppert have a story to tell. The truth here is as far beyond inconvenient as a modern BMW is beyond the pony express. If there is ever a film that makes you want to bunker down with gallons of fresh water and a million cans of baked beans it is not The Day After, or even The Day After Tomorrow, it is Collapse.
Taking a more than a cue from Errol Morris and his Robert McNamara doc, The Fog Of War, Smith plants Ruppert in a chair and has him draw out the map of the world going to hell in a hand basket over the next decade, give or take a few years. His picture is not a pretty one. But it is compelling due to Ruppert's level-headed fanaticism on the subject (some might call it passion). Peak Oil, economic derivatives,

'Prince played a big role, obviously, with the band being the New Power Generation,' Jonas says of his sound and his backing band.

Nick Jonas knows how to pick talent. For his solo side project, Nick Jonas and the Administration, he hooked up with members of Prince's New Power Generation, and said that Prince's signature sound has helped shape several of the songs on the February release, Who I Am. But he admits he's still not sure if the superstar has heard the music.
"I don't know," he told MTV News, noting the track "Conspiracy Theory" has heavy Prince influences. "I've heard one or two stories about how the guys in the band were asked by Prince to come and do some things with him, but they had to decline."
He added that he might get

Nick Jonas Discusses His 'Fascination With The President'

'The times that I've joked about wanting to be president, I'm taking [it] somewhat serious,' he tells MTV News.

With a nickname like "Mr. President" and a band called the Administration, it's pretty easy to see that Nick Jonas feels some sort of connection to the world of politics. Plus, several of the songs from his side project's debut, Who I Am, reference the White House. So does Nick one day want to leave the entertainment business behind for Washington, D.C.?
That might be looking too far into the future. "Not so much [fascinated] with politics, but more just about the fascination with the president," he said. "The opportunities that we've had to go to the White House, the times that I've joked about wanting to be president and all that, I'm taking [it] somewhat serious."

Some days prior to the release of the track's preview, the youngest member of Jonas Brothers along with his new side project debuted their single "Rose Garden". They performed the song live during their visit at Ryan Seacrest's Kiss-fm radio show.

Jesse Ventura's Top Five Movies Kick Ass
3 December 2009 8:01 PM, PST
| GetTheBigPicture.net
| See recent Get The Big Picture news
»
Maybe he ain't got time to bleed, but Jesse Ventura had time to sit
down with Rotten
Tomatoes to reveal his top five films. And I have to say, it's a pretty damn good
collection.
A co-star of Schwarzenegger in Predator, the former pro wrestler and Minnesota governor has a new show that
debuted this week called Conspiracy Theory. In
fact, it garnered 1.6 million viewers on truTV, a record for a debut on the cable outlet. If you read Ventura's
latest book, you know he's pretty deeply entrenched in conspiracy theories, and I think for a lot of people, they're
quiet obsessions - UFOs, JFK, 9/11, and on and on.
There's even a conspiracy theory movie on his top five, and it's the best example of that sort of thing we have. I
like that Ventura specifically mentions the editing in JFK, because I don't know that I've ever seen a better
edited film.

Nick Jonas is just getting started. As he launches a solo career - with a new band, Nick Jonas & The Administration, a 14-city tour that kicks off Jan. 2 and a new album Who I Am, due out Feb. 2 - the 17-year-old singer-songwriter admits his ambition is still yet to be satisfied.
Asked to explain his new band's name, Jonas, an Elvis Costello fan, says, "It's a play on Elvis Costello & The Attractions ... It's also [a nod to] my fascination with the presidency." Likewise when it comes to some of the song titles: "The Rose Garden," "Olive & An Arrow," "Conspiracy Theory" and "State of Emergency.

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura -- An early look
22 November 2009 11:02 AM, PST
| AOL - TVSquad

Jesse Ventura has been a professional wrestler, an actor and a politician. None of these things have been as fake as the reality television show he will be hosting on truTV titled Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura (premiering December 2 at 10 Pm Et).
For the record, I have never met or spoken to Jesse Ventura. He would corroborate this if anybody asked. As a result, I have no idea if he actually believes the crap he says or the conspiracies he investigates on this show. From what I've read, it wouldn't surprise me.
In the series premiere, Jesse and his crew of unknowns, consisting of two young white guys and the token black British female, are investigating a U.S. government installation built in Alaska that's possibly intended to control the weather. Who makes this stuff up? Now we know where the monies saved from stopping the "bridge to nowhere" went.

Cirque de Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is unearthed this week. John C Reilly stars as a vampire who performs at the Cirque Du Freak. He meets a young boy, and agrees to take him on as an apprentice.
The screenplay is written by Brian Helgeland. I recognised the name, so i looked up his filmography. It turns out he has written the screenplay’s of many films, including La Confidential, Conspiracy Theory and Payback, having also directed the latter. And along with the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix), he has a screenplay credit for a personal favourite of mine. So join me as i look back at Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas, as they play Assassins.
I knew nothing of Assassins myself when it was released in 1995. It was only a couple of years later that i spotted it on video, intrigued by this movie i’d never heard of.

True Blood sure has a lot of mysteries to unravel, whether it's about vampires, shape shifters, maenads or whatever the hell Sookie is. But there's another mystery that came to my attention as I went through your comments in my article last week. BuddyTV reader Dogdogdog particularly caught my interest when she posted, "i got a question that will make you all think some more... how did the queen know about sookie and bill never mentioned her... and bill never ask the queen how did she know about her... its a set up i think...that queen and bill is plotting something."

New of Michael Jackson’s cause of death broke earlier today, with the La County Coroner ruling his death a homicide. They reportedly found a fatal combination of drugs, including propofol, in Michael’s system, and say it was administered to him just hours before his death.
But one person doesn’t believe Michael’s death was truly a homicide, and it’s his sister La Toya Jackson. A source close to the Jackson family tells Access Hollywood, “La Toya knew it the second she heard he was dead. [Michael] had been telling her for the longest [time] that they

On the heels of the broadcast network’s fall announcements

these shows will debut in the summer months (like, June) when broadcast network

Pinkett Smith called Hawthorne, Jerry
Bruckheimer’s got a cop show called Dark
Blue that stars Dylan McDermott, Mark Burnett’s got a new reality series
called Wedding Day, and this December
a series with an impressive pedigree called Men
of a Certain Age starring Ray Romano, Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula.

Footage of next summer's video game adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has popped up online, and with it has popped up some minor controversy. Apparently, viewers are speculating that Jake Gyllenhaal's abdominal muscles, seen prominently in at least one shot, are not actually his own. Because this footage is from the set and not from some post-production house, it can't be an airbrush job, but it might be a prosthetic plate covering up his own less-toned abs. The "conspiracy" theory originates with commenters at Towleroad and was brought to
