Breakup? Maybe...
If you're a diehard DISTURBED fan who prefers their favorite bands to be ACTIVE . . . there's bad news: Disturbed is headed for the inactive list. Yesterday, singer DAVID DRAIMAN Tweeted, quote, "We haven't said that we're breaking up. We simply do not know yet. All I can say is we are going on an indefinite hiatus." He added that he "can't really get into the reasons" this is happening, but it sounds like it's been a long time coming. He said, quote, "Let's just say it's time." Check out Dave's twitter feed HERE
Happy Birthday MTV!
MTV will be 30 years old on Monday, and to celebrate "Time" magazine has put out a list of The 30 All-Time Best Music Videos. (--Even though MTV stopped playing videos, like, 15 years ago.)

"Walk This Way", Run-DMC & Aerosmith (1986)
"Heart-Shaped Box", Nirvana (1993)

OVER EXPOSED! (as if that was possible)
This one has the potential to actually hurt your eyes. But at the same time, there might just be a surprising number of deviants who DIG IT. DEENA CORTESE from "Jersey Shore" was out shopping yesterday. She had a really short number on, but no panties. And when she bent over, the paparazzi were there.

NEW and Fresh!
LINKIN PARK is currently working on material for their next album, and CHESTER BENNINGTON says he'd be "shocked" if it isn't released sometime next year. Chester wouldn't give any details . . . he just said, quote, "I can tell you that we have a lot of good music, a lot of quality songs." Their last album "A Thousand Suns" has sold almost 800,000 copies since coming out last September.
BIG Purchase
If you're a huge "Big Lebowski" fan, the ultimate piece of memorabilia is up for sale: The house in Venice, California that JEFF BRIDGES' character, The Dude, lived in is up for sale. Here's the downside: It'll cost you $2.3 MILLION. That's because it's actually one of SIX one-room bungalows that sit on 10,000 square feet of land . . . and they're all being sold together. Here's another downside: They've been renovated, so you probably wouldn't recognize any of them as THE DUDE'S ABODE anymore. More info and photos HERE
Un-reality
With "Cowboys & Aliens" opening on Friday, IFC.com decided to put together a list of the 10 Least Realistic Cowboy Movies of All Time. "Cowboys & Aliens" clocked in at #7. This doesn't necessarily mean BAD, just unrealistic. And really, their #1 pic, the 1970 midnight movie classic "El Topo", is a MASTERPIECE of insanity. Anyway, here's the list . . .
#1.) "El Topo", 1970
#2.) "Billy the Kid vs. Dracula", 1966 (-a companion piece was made called "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter". It's not clear how that one escaped this list.)
#3.) "The White Buffalo", 1977
#4.) "Back to the Future Part 3", 1990
#5.) "Westworld", 1973 (It's sort of a precursor to "Jurassic Park")
#6.) "Wild Wild West", 1999
#7.) "Cowboys & Aliens", 2011
#8.) "Undead or Alive: A Zombedy", 2007
#9.) "Shanghai Noon", 2000
#10.) "The Terror of Tiny Town", 1939.

What The Hell Theater 7/15
A court in Australia had to choose a toddler's name after her parents spent two years arguing about it. The couple split up shortly before the birth, and the dad said that the name the mom chose was blasphemous to Islam . . . so he called the child by another name for two years. An imam testified that the mom's name wasn't offensive, and the judge gave her a name, so the poor girl's birth could finally be registered. Read more HERE
Lightning struck and killed a 54-year-old New Jersey man over the Fourth of July weekend . . . 48 years after his father was struck and killed by lightning.

A short time later a bolt electrocuted him while he smoked a cigar under a sycamore tree! Fill story HERE

No Kids Allowed
To a lot of people, Mike Vuick of Monroeville, Pennsylvania could be considered something of a cult hero. A hero in an almost IMPOSSIBLE battle: Convincing parents that their precious little angels AREN'T necessarily precious little angels. Mike owns McDain's Restaurant and Golf Center in Monroeville. And he recently announced a new policy: As of this Saturday, all children under the age of six are BANNED FROM THE RESTAURANT. In an email to his regulars, he wrote, quote, "We feel that McDain's is not a place for young children. Their volume can't be controlled and many, many times, they have disturbed other customers." When some parents freaked out and told a local TV station, Mike took an even stronger stance against young kids in the restaurant. Quote, "I think it's the height of being impolite and selfish, and therefore, I instituted a policy." And then, his best line of all: Quote, "You know, their child, maybe as it should be, is the center of their universe. But they don't realize it's not the center of THE universe." What Mike is doing here IS legal. Restaurants aren't allowed to ban people of different races or handicaps or senior citizens because they're protected under the law . . . but there's no law that keeps someone from denying service to children.
No good deed goes unpunished!
The Guy Who Caught Derek Jeter's 3,000th Hit Could Owe $13,000 in Taxes on the Free Stuff He Got. Last Saturday, DEREK JETER got his 3,000th career hit. It was a home run. And a 23-year-old Verizon customer sales rep named Christian Lopez was the lucky guy who caught the ball. He could've held it hostage and sold it at an auction for a minimum of $100,000. Instead, as a Yankees fan, he felt it was his duty to return the ball to Jeter. To thank him, the Yankees gave him a luxury box for the rest of this season, plus some autographed bats, balls, and jerseys. The total value of Christian's haul is around $32,000. Which is pretty cool for him. Except that the IRS knows about it. And it's taxable, just like someone winning a prize on a game show. So now, Christian could be on the hook for anywhere from $5,000 to $13,000 in taxes. He's handling this pretty well though. Quote, "Worse comes to worse, I'll have to pay the taxes. I'm not going to return the seats. "The IRS has a job to do, so I'm not going to hold it against them, but it would be cool if they helped me out a little on this." There's no word from the Yankees or Jeter if they've heard about this or if they plan to step in and help the guy out. Read more HERE
Fair Food gone wrong
There's a new food debuting at this year's California State Fair. Usually when a state fair debuts food, it's because someone figured out a new way to deep fry something AWESOME. Not this time. No . . . the new food in California is called the MAGGOT MELT. And it's a grilled cheese sandwich that's jammed with DRIED MAGGOTS. Naturally, because it's a state fair, the maggots are deep fried. The California State Fair starts tomorrow in Sacramento. Besides the maggot melts, vendors will also be selling deep-fried scorpions and RACCOON-ON-A-STICK. Read more HERE

Gummy Gummy MEAT!
This country is great at combining sugar and meat. Chocolate-covered bacon, honey-glazed ham, McGriddles... and now this. Which is definitely the STRANGEST combination of all. In Hugo, Minnesota, Grundhofer's Old-Fashion Meat market is selling GUMMY BEAR BRATWURST. Spencer Grundhofer, who owns the market, actually mixes whole gummy bears in with his bratwurst meat. Then, it all gets jammed into the casings. And apparently, people LOVE them. Spencer says that people can't get enough of the mix of salty and sweet, and he's selling about 50 to 75 pounds worth of gummy bear brats every week. He also says that, as far as he knows, he's the only person in the country selling them. And Grundhofer's just "bearly" getting started. He's already trying to discover the next big flavor: grape, orange and cherry Kool-Aid brats. Grundhofer is also open to customers' suggestions. Anyone who hits upon a good idea will get $25 and a couple packs of brats. Read more HERE

What The Hell Theater 7/8
Now THIS is how you parent. In Milwaukee, a woman was watching the news and saw a video of a bunch of teenagers robbing and ransacking a convenience store. And she was horrified to see her 13-year-old and 15-year-old were both in that mob. So . . . she called the cops and reported them. She says if she hadn't done that, quote, "you're letting them think it's ok." Full Story HERE
In New Mexico, a woman has been sentenced after she RIPPED OFF HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S NIPPLE during a drunken argument. That's right. Ripped it right off. The woman ended up copping a plea for aggravated battery. As part of the deal she'll avoid jail time but will have to pay the $10,000 worth of medical bills her daughter-in-law incurred getting her nipple reattached. Full Story HERE

Casey Anthony still needs a job!
CASEY ANTHONY almost had a job in porno yesterday . . . but it disappeared almost as quickly as it materialized. Steve Hirsch . . . head of the Vivid Entertainment empire . . . offered to put Casey in one of his movies. But after a major backlash, he rescinded it. He said, quote, "It has become obvious to us that Vivid fans, and people in general, want nothing to do with her and that includes a Triple-X movie. We were ready to make an offer to Casey to star in one of our feature films. It's clear to me now, however, that there has been an overwhelmingly negative response to our offer and so we've decided to withdraw it. We now believe that we underestimated the emotional response that people are having to the verdict. A movie starring Casey Anthony is not what people want to see."
No Roast for Lisa?!
Sadly, comedienne LISA LAMPANELLI can't make Comedy Central's roast of CHARLIE SHEEN in September . . . for now at least. She explains, quote, "I'm actually booked to do a show that night already, but if there's any way I can get out of it, all I can say is, 'Charlie, here I come!'" Lisa adds, quote, "I am personally thrilled to death that they chose Charlie and I'm glad he's desperate enough to have accepted the challenge. I mean, come on . . . the guy was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. "I guess he now knows how Bruce Willis felt!" Let's hope she can make it happen because Lisa is one of the few comedians who's diabolical enough to come up with material that would SLICE THROUGH the countless, played-out Charlie Sheen jokes. Meanwhile, Charlie's ex-wife BROOKE MUELLER wants no part of the roast, meaning that she doesn't want anyone roasting HER. Supposedly, Brooke took time out of her daily rehab commute to notify her lawyers that she will NOT tolerate her name being mentioned during the roast. She's "seriously considering" sending Comedy Central a letter demanding that they cut any mentions of her.

Roast & a dig
Comedy Central's next roast victim will be CHARLIE SHEEN. The roast will tape September 10th, and will air on September 19th, which just happens to be the same night that ASHTON KUTCHER makes his debut on "Two and a Half Men". Obviously, this is NOT a coincidence. The prospect of stealing some attention away from the season premiere of the new "Two and a Half Men" MUST have played a role in Charlie's decision to do the roast but at least for now, he isn't admitting to it. In the press release, Charlie said, quote, "You could say I've been providing kindling for this Roast for a while. It's time to light it up. It's going to be epic." For what it's worth, Comedy Central has added this tease: Quote, "Charlie has assured us that nothing will be off limits in this roast, which scares even us." Yeah, that's nice. But the REAL challenge for the roasters . . . who haven't been announced yet . . . is coming up with fresh jokes about Charlie Sheen, who's been ridiculed by everyone everywhere for the past six months. Also interesting... Charlie replaces KID ROCK, who was supposed to be Comedy Central's next target. He had to back out because of a scheduling conflict.
