Avatar Plot Resembles "Firekind" Comic Scenario- Does James Cameron have Some Explaining to Do?

Don't get me wrong- I thoroughly enjoyed "Avatar"- and can describe my thoughts about it in one word- "Immersive."- so that is why, when I saw that the story might be ripped off from an obscure British comic- Firekind....I thought - hmmm, just another disgruntled person trying to discredit the movie and Producer James Cameron.  But then after reading the article- I thought...either this is a freak coincidence, or James Cameron may have at one time been aware of the comic.   You be the judge on this one as HEAVY calls it- Avatargate!

Colby Curtin 7, dying wish to see "Up!" Pixar brings a DVD to her home - 6 hour laters, She Passes!

Sad but true, a friend of the Curtinfamily, cold-called Pixar, got a live person, and told them Colby wanted to see "Up!" but was too sick ( she had vascular cancer) to travel to a theater. The next day a Pixar employee showed up with a DVD for the family to watch... Colby died seven hours after viewing the film.  Sad, but true...and sometimes there are good people in the entertainment business.

Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen) Pisses Off Eminem at MTV Movie Awards! Bruno lands with Crotch in Eminem's face! Did He Know About it???

Bruno or Sacha Baron Cohen appears to have pissed off rapper Eminem.  The video below shows Bruno being flown in over the crowd, and landing with his crotch in the face of Eminem, who was seated in the audience. From all appearances, Eminem was none too happy, and got up and walked out, after his bodyguards roughed up Bruno a little. Only time will tell if this was real, or part of the show....but the rapper looked pissed..... This may have been planned....but.....If Eminem wasn't aware of this stunt, I would hate to think about his response to MTV, and Sacha Baron Cohen. No way does he want to made to look foolish...the man is too intense. It's a good thing Eminem's performance was earlier in the show....Your thoughts?

Disney's "The Princess and The Frog" Introduces Tiana - First Black Princess for the Mouse House

 Some think that Disney created Tiana, the first black Princess, in the upcoming animated release of "The Princess and the Frog" because of first lady Michelle Obama. Coincidence? Perhaps.....but an animated feature takes years to create, and the Obama's were probably only a blip when the first talk of the concept for the movie came out.

Tiana is Disney's first princess in 10 years, and knowing the Disney machine, you will see mucho marketing on this heroine. (photo courtesy of Disney via Washington Post link)
