Official Haley Joel Osment Mugshot by amit

TheSmokingGun.com, famous for proving James Frey’s memoir, “A Million Little Pieces,” wasn’t entirely true, has posted a mug shot of none other than Haley Joel Osment (”Walker, Texas Ranger”). Last month the dead-people-seeing actor started seeing the road ahead of him spin and flipped his ‘95 Saturn. The cops gave him a drug test and discovered the 18-year-old’s blood contained a whooping 0.16 alcohol level, double the California limit. Not only was Osment boozin’ it up, he was also caught with marijuana and, to top it all off, broke a rib during the vehicular Cirque du Soleil. Take a look at his mug shot below. See anything odd? Keep looking. There it is. It’s officially known. Haley Joel Osment is 5 feet, 4 inches! No wonder he’s drinking/smoking/driving. The kid’s still a kid. Osment faces up to 6 months in jail and should be able to make several friends.

I’ll leave you with yet another mug shot that debuted this week, Don Vito, Bam Margera’s (”Jackass”) uncle.

SYNOPSIS

In the spirit of such landmark Asian films as Akira Kurosawaâ€™s RAN from Japan and Zhang Yimouâ€™s own HERO and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER promises to be Zhang Yimouâ€™s most colorful and biggest production to date, fusing high drama and romantic intrigue with the best of contemporary martial arts. The plot concerns the volatile balance of power between the King (Chow Yun Fat) and the Queen (Gong Li) and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit and passion, pitting the King against Queen and father against sons. The glorious canvas includes many of the creative team behind HERO and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS: cinematographer Zhao Xiading (Oscar nominated for HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS), production designer Huo Tingxiao, action director Tony Ching Siu-Tung, sound designer Tao Jing and producers Bill Kong and Zhang Wei Ping. The music is composed by Shigeru Umebayashi (HERO 2046, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) and the costume designer is YEE CHUNG MAN (SO CLOSE).

Radiohead Bonnaroo DVD To Be Released by amit

One of the best shows C&V attended at Bonnaroo ‘06 was a Saturday night show with Radiohead (setlist). Fans who weren’t lucky enough to attend, stop cutting yourselves. Lead singer Thom Yorke announced on the show “BBC Music 6″ that the epic 2.5 hour concert will be released on DVD soon. He noted,

“We did this festival called Bonnaroo. We did 2.5 hours. And there’s 80,000 people, admittedly they’ve been smoking the sticky green all day– probably wouldn’t go anywhere anyway. It was just amazing. We played loads of new stuff. We did whole sections of quiet piano songs and it sounds like the most grotesque, self-indulgent nonsense, but it probably is my favourite gig for years and years and years. It was a really mellow evening. Actually it’s all being filmed, but we’re sitting on it because there’s loads of new stuff on it. Because we’re mean like that. It will come out eventually.”

Yorke continued to profess his love for Bonnaroo to Pitchfork Media by adding,

“When we played Bonnaroo we got such a nice vibe, a genuine good feeling from the first beat. Things like Bonnaroo give you the hope that you can do it the other way…I dream to take some of that vibe and take it around the country…and then Clear Channel trying to fucking shut the gate down.”
