This was the week that was for wardrobe malfunctions. Maybe it was something in the stars, but everybody from A-list movie actresses to anonymous bank robbers were showing way more lingerie or skin than you’d normally expect. Hold onto your hat while we take a wild ride through this week’s top ten best moments in over-exposure.

10) The week opened with a bang with last Friday’s release of Star Trek Into Darkness. Self-proclaimed “Twitter masochist” and screenwriter Damon Lindelof apologized repeatedly and at length for a gratuitous scene where Alice Eve, playing Dr. Carol Marcus, appears in her underwear.

9) As a runner-up in the Star Trek category, we have Zoë Saldana giving an interview with Today to remind us that she’d posed completely naked in the June issue of Allure, which also posted some of the photographs online. Well, technically, she gave the interview to defend the magazine’s decision to post her weight on the cover, but I think she didn’t want you to forget that there was more than one woman with a great body appearing in the film.

8) Not to be outdone, singer Mariah Carey popped out of her pink Versace dress today while the cameras were rolling on Good Morning America. Oh, I’m sure that was completely accidental. Aren’t you?

7) While we’re on the topic of deliberate flashing to win eyeballs, an artist in Beijing came forward as the Wingjing Streaker. He had become famous over the past couple of months by staging naked stunts in the streets of Beijing.

One stunt involved riding a scooter while carrying a cross, which the Asian media widely reported as a crucifix since…hey…they don’t know the difference. Even better was a stunt where he ran naked down the street carrying a sex doll while an equally naked woman accomplice chased after him.

Oh Hey, It’s a Naked Man on a Scooter, Carrying a Crucifix … Art or rubbish… You decide… (I have)…kotaku.com/oh-hey-its-a-n…

6)The Cannes Film Festival was apparently a great place to leave your underwear at home. Here’s Heidi Klum’s tweet from the event:

(No comment) twitter.com/heidiklum/stat…

— Heidi Klum (@heidiklum) May 17, 2013

5)But the best Cannes effort came from Eva Longoria. After flashing her lack of underpants by lifting a turquoise dress a little too high one night, she wanted to reassure us that she really did own a pair of underpants. We can see for ourselves in this tweet:

Here’s my dress for tonight! No wardrobe malfunctions tonight!!! say.ly/oyB5Reo

— Eva Longoria (@EvaLongoria) May 19, 2013

4)Heck, even the bank robbers were showing off their skimpies. The Stuart, Iowa Police Department released this surveillance video of an oddly-attired robber who appeared in a sheer green gown that revealed way too much of what was underneath:

3)I don’t think real strippers wear underclothes any more, but Jennifer Aniston appeared in a movie trailer for We’re The Millers as a stripper wearing bra and panties. A nervous Aniston claimed that she wore three bras while filming to prevent a wardrobe malfunction, so that might be as good as we’re gonna get from her.

2) Our runner-up for best — or at least most outrageous — wardrobe malfunction of the week is the soccer player who took off his pants and put them on his head after a scoring a goal. I think in real football they would call that excessive celebration but I won’t speak to soccer.

Before you view the video, be warned that Mario Gjurovski takes it all off. They try to pixelate his lack of underwear but if you’re easily offended, then…hmmm…why are you reading this top 10 in the first place?

And who is absolutely, positively, hands-down number one winner of the week?

1) It can only be Miranda Kerr, whose double nip slip wardrobe malfunction left the former Victoria’s Secret Angel completely naked above the waist. I’m not sure that this one was a malfunction at all. Judging from the completely fake look of shock on her face, it was a deliberate publicity stunt.

However, that particular wardrobe malfunction is also too spicy for a PG-rated site. You’ll have to search Twitter to find one of the many, many photos of the best double nip slip of the week — or maybe even of 2013.

Top 10 Wardrobe Malfunctions Of The Week Nobody Could Stay Dressed is a post from: The Inquisitr

A used computer is going up for sale this weekend with a minimum price of $116,000. And yes, this isn’t your ordinary computer. Sotheby’s Auction House will be putting an Apple-1 computer on the auction block this Saturday in Cologne, Germany.

The opening bid for the used Apple-1 computer is set at $116,000 but Sotheby’s is expecting to sell the computer for much more. Last November, an Apple-1 sold for a record $640,000.

German auctioneer Uwe Breker said that the $640,000 price was surprising. Breker expects the Apple-1 computer up for sale this weekend to bring in between $260,000 to $400,000.

Dag Spicer, a senior curator at the Computer History Museum, said that the Apple-1 always attracts big interest because it represents the founding of one of the world’s largest tech companies. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers in a garage during the 1970s. Of those 200 computers, only about 46 are still accounted for.

Spicer said: “It is Apple’s creation story, the physical artifact that traces this incredible success to its origins.”

According to PC Mag, the Apple-1 computer on the auction block this weekend was signed by Wozniak. It was originally owned by MLB player Fred Hatfield who played for the Boston Red Sox, the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds between 1950 and 1958. The machine also comes with a letter written by Steve Jobs in 1978. The letter asks if Hatfield would be interested in trading in his Apple 1 for a new Apple II. Hatfield declined the offer.

The season finale of Criminal Minds revealed the identity of the Replicator, the sinister serial killer that plagued the BAU team for most of Season 8.

But his identity reveal also came at a cost, as the BAU lost one of their own in the process. So, who was the Replicator? Mark Hamill, or Agent John Curtis, as he is known on the show.

While Hamill may be known for his work in Star Wars as Luke Skywalker, in the season finale of Criminal Minds he plays an FBI agent who worked in the Department of Justice.

He targeted the BAU because Strauss (Jayne Atkinson) may have screwed him over 12 years before. While the pair took the fall for the Amerithrax case 12 years ago, Strauss still managed to work her way up the ladder to the head of the BAU. Meanwhile, Curtis was demoted.

And unfortunately, it was the BAU’s head who fell victim to the Replicator. He broke into her hotel room and forced the recovering alcoholic to drink. Finally, he drugged her with “Doctor Death.” The meth/ecstasy mix was the weapon at the center of the BAU case the team solved in the previous episode.

Curtis let Strauss go wander the streets of New York. The section chief then passed away on a bench in the arms of Agent Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). The Replicator killed Strauss in the Criminal Minds season finale after realizing she was onto him. She was investigating him and told the team in the 16th episode that the case was dormant. She then doctored the team’s case report from the previous episode to list a fake M.O. That M.O was used on her.

As for Agent Curtis, the BAU team realized who was behind the Replicator persona. He was apparently done in by his own booby-trapped explosive chair. Mark Hamill live-tweeted the whole episode. Along with the final scene of the episode and his tweets, Criminal Minds fans are likely wishing Season 9 started next week.

Hamill wrote at the end, “I’m unconvinced! Where’s the body? You got it see you next season!!” So, Criminal Minds fans, do you think the Replicator is gone for good? Or did he somehow manage to escape death in the Season 8 finale?

Director Nicolas Winding Refn has responded to the reception his new film Only God Forgives received at Cannes earlier this week.

According to various reports, several people booed the film after it screened at this year’s film festival. Judging from the critical lashing the flick received, a lot of folks had issues with some of the violent content found in the story.

The Wrap reports that Refn has defended his movie in the wake of the Cannes screening. The acclaimed filmmaker doesn’t seem too bothered by the audience’s response to the film’s content. In Refn’s humble opinion, “art is meant to divide.”

During an interview with Jada Yuan over at Vulture, Nicolas Winding Refn weighed in on the boos and jeers his new Ryan Gosling collaboration received. While no one likes to have their work eviscerated by critics, the director didn’t seem overly concerned with the movie’s recent reception at the festival.

The filmmaker explained:

” I mean, how can I expect someone to not react like this when on one hand you are dropping what you do in everyone’s face and at the same time saying, ‘Love me, please,’ you know? You’re going to get that. You know, great art — horrible thing to say — but art is meant to divide, because if it doesn’t divide, it doesn’t penetrate, and if it doesn’t penetrate, you just consume it.”

When asked what caused the audience to reaction in such a fashion, Refn remarked that people often have “many strange opinions.” He added that fans often feel like they “own” filmmakers and actors, and are often disappointed when the work isn’t to their liking.

Hollywood Elsewhere critic Jeffrey Wells was definitely not a fan of the Drive director’s latest effort. In his review of the film, the writer said the movie left him feeling “violated, s*** upon, sedated, narcotized, appalled, and bored stiff.” That was probably the nicest thing he had to say.

Are you a fan of Nicolas Winding Refn? What do you think about the director’s response to the reception Only God Forgives received at Cannes?

The most depressing news story of the week comes out of South Korea where a suicide jumper killed a 5-year-old girl after he fell on top of her outside of his apartment building.

According to Kare11, a 39-year-old man jumped to his death from the top of an 11 story building in the southeastern port city of Busan.

In addition to killing himself, the suicide jumper landed on a little girl who was standing outside of the apartment building with her parents.

The man died immediately from the fall. The little girl suffered broken bones and brain damage and died shortly after the incident at the hospital. The little girl’s parents were not harmed in the fall.

Officials did not know the exact reason why the 39-year-old man decided to jump off of the South Korean building but they did say that he was being treated for depression.

The Huffington Post notes that South Korea, which has a population of 49 million, has an extremely high suicide rate. In fact, suicide is the leading cause of death for South Koreans between the age of 15-24.

South Korea has taken steps to curb suicides but the Sydney Morning Herald reports that the country still sees about 50 suicides a day. In 2010, 33 people for every 100,000people committed suicide.

Julianne Moore’s toes caused a bit of a commotion during a red carpet appearance at Cannes.

The actress was at the film festival’s Opening Ceremony dressed in a lovely lilac Dior dress. Unfortunately for Moore, people were distracted by what was happening with her feet.

According to the New York Post, Julianne Moore’s toes were crammed into a pair of uncomfortable-looking shoes. She recently addressed the situation during her appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

The English Teacher star admitted that she had no idea her toes were the center of attention until she checked Twitter the following morning.

“”I didn’t feel a thing — not a thing. I felt fine! I was just walking along, like, ‘Hi, I’m at Cannes’ and my toes are hanging off [my shoes]!” Moore explained to Fallon.

Judging from the pictures posted over at the Daily Mail, it’s easy to see why the actress’ feet were so popular during her trip down the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Although she looks amazing in the Dior dress, it’s hard to see anything else once you realize her toes are jutting out in all directions.

In order to prevent “Toemageddon” from happening all over again, Julianne Moore joked that she planned to have all of her toes removed for future events. She even brought Fallon a box containing her severed toes.

“I needed to prevent this from happening again. So I cut my toes off,” the actress joked.

Here’s a picture of Moore on the red carpet. A close-up of her feet has been provided so you can get the full picture. It’s hard to believe she could actually walk in those shoes.

Iron Man has been turned into an eight-bit game in a new video!

Iron Man was a breakthrough in Marvel comics film, no doubt about it. Between the amazing story of how it almost didn’t happen and the fact that Robert Downey Jr. gave the character a personality that everyone instantly loved, the film was, if you’ll pardon the pun, a marvel.

CineFlix of YouTube has taken the story of Jon Favreau’s blockbuster Iron Man and condensed it into the span of 60 seconds, amazingly capturing most of what made the film a classic. While it doesn’t have the part where Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) had to dig her hand into the gooey innards of Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) chest and replace the most ingeniously made pacemaker ever conceived, it does cover the scenes of Iron Man actually doing his thing and blowing stuff up.

Even the sequel to the film was a big earner in spite of major critical backlash, and Iron Man 3 has proven a hefty film itself, beating out The Great Gatsby and tailing behind Star Trek Into Darkness to remain number two at the Box Office.  Word has it that comic book purists hate it, but movie fans consider it a work of genius.

Eric Eisenberg of Cinema Blend has said that videos like this eight-bit game treatment of Iron Man make him wish it was a game you could literally buy.

The video begins with the title screen from Mega Man, given a graphic make-over to turn the blue bomber into Iron Man from the film. Then we see a caravan of military vehicles rolling through the desert as a bomb hits one of them. Tony Stark is seen running and dodging bullets and missiles, but one eventually hits him. Then we see him building the first suit and using it to escape a cave and kill everyone guarding it. The next scene his him testing the suit as he flies through markers.

The rest of the video is above. It really is a remarkably fun remake of Iron Man in eight-bit game format.

What do you think of the eight-bit game adaptation of Iron Man?

Diet soda is as bad for your teeth as a crystal meth habit, according to a new study.

Before you go out and grab your Friday evening Diet Coke, know this: Doctors say that heavy consumption of diet soda can damage your teeth as badly as methamphetamine or crack cocaine.

“You look at it side-to-side with ‘meth mouth’ or ‘coke mouth,’ it is startling to see the intensity and extent of damage more or less the same,” said Dr. Mohamed Bassiouny, a Philadelphia-based restorative dentistry professor.

The reason is that methamphetamine, crack cocaine and soda (whether sweetened or not) are all very acidic and can cause some of the same dental problems, according to a study published in the journal General Dentistry.

The acid in soda is a type of citric acid combined with phosphoric acid, Bassiouny said. Constant exposure without good dental hygiene can cause erosion and significant oral damage.

The study followed a woman in her 30s who drank 2 liters of diet soda a day for three to five years. She experienced tooth rot and decay which was very similar to that of a 29-year-old meth addict and a 51-year-old cocaine user.

The meth addict had used the drug for three years, and drank two to three cans of regular soda each day because the drugs dried his mouth. The older man said that he had abused cocaine for 18 years.

The American Beverage Association reacted negatively to the study, and said that it shouldn’t indict soda consumption as a whole.

“The woman referenced in this article did not receive dental health services for more than 20 years — two-thirds of her life,” they said in a statement. “To single out diet soda consumption as the unique factor in her tooth decay and erosion — and to compare it to that from illicit drug use — is irresponsible.

“The body of available science does not support that beverages are a unique factor in causing tooth decay or erosion. However, we do know that brushing and flossing our teeth, along with making regular visits to the dentist, play a very important role in preventing them.”

However, Dr. Eugene Antenucci, a spokesman for the Academy of General Dentistry, said that the study’s findings didn’t surprise him.

“From my experience, the damage that happens to people’s mouths from cocaine or methamphetamine are degrees greater than what I see from soda, but I see a lot of damage from soda,” he said.

What do you think? Could diet soda cause as much damage to teeth as heavy meth use?

Diet Soda: As Bad For Your Teeth As Crystal Meth [Study] is a post from: The Inquisitr

A Facebook rape post targeted at Chad Lesko of Toledo, Ohio, attempted to reveal Lesko as the rapist of four victims — three girls and his young son.

According to the Toledo Free Press, the post launched May 20, and in the days since, the ever tuned-in, just, and reliable Facebook community have done their due diligence in first investigating the claims before forwarding them on to peers.

Actually, that’s not what happened at all. They shared it 26,000 times in 48 hours without a single one of them doing the least bit of research into the accusation.

Lesko told the Toledo Free Press that he believed the account of the poster, Nicole Mccarthy, belonged to the mother of his son, who was lashing out at him because he couldn’t afford to send her as much in child support this month.

“Mccarthy” sent a message to TFP stating that police had come to her and others’ doors to say that Lesko was wanted for rape. “I did want [sic] I had to do because I thought it was true. I am sorry for the false accusations but I thought it was true.”

The account appeared to have been taken down shortly after sending the message.

Toledo Police Sergeant Joe Heffernan said he believed the Facebook rape post accusation to be false and confirmed he was not aware of any active rape or sexual imposition cases against Lesko.

The viral post read: “If You See This Man, His Name is Chad Michael Lesko, He is Wanted by Toledo Police for 4 Counts of RAPE He Raped 3 Little Girls and His own son. Please Like and Share and Get the Word out. NO ONE MESS WITH HIM!!!!”

Lesko said he believed his son’s mother was behind the Facebook rape post because when he broke the news to her about his coming up short on financial support for the month, “She told me, ‘I’m gonna get you back for this,’ and ever since then it’s been hell.”

“Monique” was the name of Lesko’s ex-girlfriend, and in a recent radio interview with Toledo’s Andrew Z in the Morning, she admitted to being responsible for the post, but said it was only to warn her friends and family (even though the actual post says to “like” and “share,” but whatever).

When pressed on why she did it, Monique said, “Because I didn’t know what I was going to get myself in to. I wasn’t expecting it being that many [shares]. I’m sorry, but I admit it. I didn’t know it was going to get this far. I never knew I was going to get that much attention. I didn’t want that much attention. I just want all this to drop and be gone.”

(Good luck with that.)

The Facebook rape post finally came down on Wednesday, but not before amassing more than 30,000 shares.

To the 30,000+ who participated: seriously, people, has this phony baloney Facebook fallacy or maybe this one not painted a clear enough picture yet? Repeat after us: “Not everything someone asks you to share is true.” Don’t be idiots.

In Lesko’s case, he can take legal action, but as far as criminal charges, Monique is off the hook. Apparently, it’s not a crime to start rumors against someone.

What do you think should happen to the guilty party in the case of the Facebook rape post?

Facebook Rape Post Accuses Innocent Man, Goes Viral is a post from: The Inquisitr

Fashion blogger Gabi Gregg’s “fatkini” is sold out, proving that curvy ladies like to look fly just like the “cool kids” (take note, Mr. Jeffries).

Gregg is redefining the term “bikini body” with her curve-friendly “fatkini,” the result of a collaboration between the blogger and the swimwear line Swimsuits for All.

She designed the fashionable bikinis for plus-sized girls with curves, and we’ve got to say … they’re pretty flattering.

Gregg’s initiative has gone viral multiple times over the past year or so, dovetailing in recent months with a massive amount of negative news coverage pointed at “hip” clothing maker Abercrombie & Fitch after 2006 comments from CEO Mike Jeffries were re-printed in a Business Insider article.

Jeffries called Abercrombie & Fitch’s clothing line “exclusionary” by design, and said that the company aims to clothe the “cool kids” instead of their chubby, less cool friends.

But Gregg and Swimsuits for All tapped into a pretty wide market. I don’t know how well you remember high school, but the so-called “cool kids” were what, 4% of the student population at best?

When it comes to swimming, the remaining 96% like to take a dip now and then, as well.

For proof, look no further than the “fatkini,” for which the demand is so high, it has actually left many customers frustrated with Swimsuits for All for taking too long to issue refunds (not because people send them back, but because the limited number of suits sold out immediately, and there are currently no plans to make more).

But why were the trendy plus-sized bikinis so popular? In the words of their creator, ”[It] makes my enormous boobs look even bigger but I don’t care.”

There you have it.

You can check out Gabi Gregg’s blog here (worth a read whether you’re plus-sized, regular-sized, pint-sized, female or male)  as well as more pictures of the sold-out “fatkini.”

Let us know what you think of the “fatkini” trend in the comments below.

The Tim Duncan divorce is on “pause” during the NBA playoffs.

It is widely speculated that Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs superstar, and his wife Amy are going their separate ways after 12 years of marriage. As The Inquisitr has previously reported, there is a divorce case pending in Bexar County (San Antonio) District Court with the parties identified as A.S.D. and T.T.D. rather than their full names. Among other things, the divorce papers state that the couple married in July, 2001, which is when Tim and Amy were married.The divorce papers mention two children with the initials S.I.D. and W.D.D. The Duncans have two children named Sydney and Draven.

Tim and Amy were college sweethearts at Wake Forest, and according to TMZ, Amy initiated divorce proceedings because the marriage has become “insupportable because of discord and conflict.”

In the meantime, Duncan through his lawyers wants the case postponed until after the NBA season ends: “TMZ has obtained legal docs filed in Bexar County, Texas, in which Duncan makes the case that his employment ‘is currently making extraordinary demands on him and hopefully will continue to make those demands for the next 30 or so days.’  Translation — he’s banking on a ring.”

Tim Duncan has a prenuptial agreement which — if deemed enforceable by a judge –  may allow him to avoid being taken completely to the cleaners in the divorce.

The Spurs meet the Memphis Grizzlies in game three of the Western Conference finals tomorrow night.

Duncan has enjoyed a reputation for being unusually down to earth and low key and — at least to this point — not getting into the kind of predicaments that other pro athletes find themselves mixed up with.”Duncan, who is the only player in history to be named ALL NBA and ALL-Defensive Teams in each of his first 13 seasons, could pound his chest or demand his time in the spotlight, but he chooses to go about his business in anonymity, racking up championships and inching up the record books with each game … He’s the anti-superstar, a player who just wants to play and win and go home.”

Are you surprised that Tim Duncan reportedly is getting a divorce?

Pittsburgh, PA — A judge who was in charge of a special drug treatment court faces charges that he allegedly stole cocaine that had been seized as evidence in criminal cases.

Washington County Common Pleas Judge Paul Pozonsky retired last July when the grand jury investigation into his activities was pending.  Prior to stepping down from the bench, he reportedly often demanded that the drugs be delivered to his courtroom in advance of pre-trial hearings which is a highly unusual practice. The judge allegedly held on to the drug evidence after the hearings finished and reportedly stored what amounted to hundreds of grams of coke a in file cabinets in his chambers. “A year later in May of 2012, state police investigators looked at the evidence envelopes and discovered cocaine was missing or had been tampered with.”

Pozonsky faces a raft of misdemeanor charges including “eight counts of theft, four counts of possession, one count of misapplication of entrusted property and one count of obstruction … he is also charged with felony conflict of interest, a violation of state ethics law.” He was released on $25,000 bond yesterday and is due back in court on June 13.

Apparently the former judge specifically got into trouble for ordering the destruction of drug evidence in 18 cases which raised all kinds of red flags among law enforcement officials. “Inside a locked filing cabinet in his chambers, investigators found none of the drug evidence from five cases listed in the destruction order. When they pulled evidence on three other cases, they found that evidence seals had been broken and that, in some cases, drugs were either missing or replaced with something else.”

Pozonsky subsequently moved to Alaska where he briefly worked as a workers’ compensation hearing officer until he resigned when Alaska officials got wind of the Washington County allegations.

Watch a local news report on the Judge Paul Pozonsky allegations:

Former Lakers player Flynn Robinson died on Thursday at the age of 72. Robinson, who played on the Lakers’ championship 1971-1972 team, died after a two-year fight with cancer.

The former NBA guard’s passing was announced by his wife, Nancy Pitts-Robinson, who informed the team. Late Lakers broadcaster Chick Hearn nicknamed Robinson “Mr. Instant Point.”

The six-foot-one player averaged 9.9 points and 2.2 assists in 61 games during the 1971 to 1972 season. He helped the Lakers win an NBA-record 33 consecutive games, along with the franchises first-ever title in Los Angeles. Jeanie Buss, the executive vice president of business operations for the Lakers, stated of Robinson’s death:

“We are very sad to hear of the passing of Flynn Robinson. Flynn played an important role on the 1971-72 Lakers team.”

Buss added that Flynn Robinson’s nickname was perfect, because he averaged 10 points in 16 minutes off the bench. He led the reserves in scoring their championship season. She added:

“He was a proud part of our Lakers heritage, participating in numerous reunions and special events over the years, and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time.”

Before joining the Lakers, Flynn was named an All-Star in 1970 with the Milwaukee Bucks. And 1970 was arguably Robinson’s best year. The guard averaged 21.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 81 games.

In seven NBA seasons with Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee, the Lakers, and Baltimore, Robinson averaged 14.5 points and 3.1 assists. He finished his basketball career in the ABA with the San Diego Conquisatadors in 1973-1974.

When asked in an interview in 2008 if the 71-10 Chicago Bulls of 1995-1996 could have defeated the 1971-1972 Lakers, Robinson replied, “I don’t think none of them could’ve beaten us … I mean, we had a monster team.”

It is not clear what he did after retiring. Flynn Robinson passed away at Keck Hospital in Los Angeles after a two year battle with multiple myeloma.

Before Carlos Irwin Estévez started his movie career he decided to change his name to something more American, like Charlie Sheen. Well, now that actor has landed a role in Robert Rodriguez’ new movie Machete Kills, Sheen has reportedly decided to change his name back to Estevez.

A few years ago Sheen gave an interview saying that he decided to change his name (much like his father Ramon Estevez, AKA Martin Sheen did) because he was having a hard time landing a job. Sheen never actually legally changed his name but he’s never used “Carlos Irwin Estevez” for his profession.

Well, until now.

The actor has landed a role in Machete Kills and apparently uses his birth name for the credits. TMZ obtained a screen shot from the movie which shows a picture of the former Two And A Half Men actor next to the words Carlos Estevez.

Sheen’s brother, Emilio Estevez, has managed to have a relatively successful career in the movie business with the Estevez name and Sheen said that he’s always regretted ditching the family name for a more American sounding title.

Sheen said: “I started using Sheen, I thought I’d give it a try, and before I knew it, I started making a living with it and then it was too late. In fact, one of my great regrets is that I didn’t keep my name as it was given to me. I knew it bothered my dad.”

It’s unclear if the actor will continue to use his real name for future roles.

On Monday, May 20, 2013, Ray Manzarek, the legendary keyboard player of The Doors, passed away at the age of 74. Ray has moved on to join Jim Morrison in the great beyond, but the music he made with Morrison, John Densmore and Robby Krieger will live forever.

Jim Morrison may have been the tortured poet and sex god of the band, but Manzarek channeled Bach, Bertolt Brecht and the sound of the carnival with his masterful playing. His highly original style stands out on such hits as “Light My Fire”, “Riders on the Storm”, “Break on Through” and “People Are Strange.” Jim was the voice of The Doors, but Ray was the master musician who gave their music its soul.

Doors’ drummer John Densmore paid tribute to Manzarek with these moving words:

“There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison’s words. Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother.”

Robby Krieger, The Doors’ guitarist, spoke at length about his band-mate and friend:

“Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison were the two most unusual people I have ever known. It didn’t take long to realize this about Jim. He was obviously a genius, and he worked hard at being different. Did a good job of it too. Ray on the other hand, was a late bloomer. I guess it took all of his [and our ] energies to keep Jim in line. The real Ray didn’t appear until after Jim was gone. He was constantly doing projects with different people, producing, playing with different poets. He always saw the good side of people, and that was his genius. He was the only guy at UCLA that saw something good about Jim. Everyone else thought of Jim as a phony or worse. He saw the genius of Jim’s words and the rest is history. Ray sure did influence my life, and I hope yours too. I’ll always be grateful to John for introducing me to Ray and Jim, and I’ll never forget them.”

Today, as I reflect on the passing of another child of the now distant 1960s and I approach my 62nd birthday, I realize what a glorious life I have lived, and more importantly, how glorious it is to be alive. While I refuse to live in the past, it is true, that for me and millions of others, the 1960s were a unique period of human history when we almost changed the world.

Alas, the powers that rule this planet proved stronger, and the 60s ended in a haze of drugs and disillusionment, but we did manage to stop a war that ravaged Southeast Asia and took 59,000 American lives and the lives of millions of Vietnamese, Chinese, Laotians, Thai and Cambodians. Our efforts were not in vain and it will be up to the children of the future to resurrect and complete the work for true peace and equality that my generation started.

We may have dabbled in politics and helped put an end to the madness of Vietnam, but the true heart of that time was the music. Almost 50 years have passed since the Summer of Love and the Human Be Ins, and still, whenever I hear the music of those days, I am transported to a special, timeless place where everything is pure, unadulterated joy.

Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Alan Wilson, Mama Cass, Bob Hite, Brian Jones, Gram Parsons, Marc Bolan, Duane Allman, Jerry Garcia, Tim Buckley, and so many others, all died much too young, but they left behind a living legacy of incredible music that may bring occasional tears to my eyes, but never fails to open the gateway to bliss.

And then there was that one special moment called Woodstock. When I look at footage of a young Carlos Santana, head back and eyes closed, pouring out note after note of sheer ecstasy from his guitar as he played “Soul Sacrifice”, how can I fail to be happy. Who could sit still when Ten Years After rocked half a million mud soaked hippies with an epic version of “I’m Going Home.” We all felt connected when Grace Slick took the Woodstock stage as the sun came up, shouting, “Its time for morning maniac music. Believe me, yeah. It’s a new dawn” and the Jefferson Airplane took us into the stratosphere. Of course, the entire world remembers Jimi closing out the festival, playing the most astounding version of “The Star’s Spangled Banner” ever heard.

I was lucky. I worked on the stage at Woodstock and spent three days standing 10 feet from the center of the musical universe, but as I gazed out over the ocean of humanity in the crowd, I realized we were all part of a larger soul. The beautiful young woman I left behind in a tent on the hill behind the stage was forgotten. The mud and rain no longer mattered. I learned on that stage the most important lesson of my life; how to become one with the music.

I could go on forever remembering those days, and I plan to go on forever into whatever the future may bring. I leave you with my poem about the glorious days of the 1960s and I hope every one of you is blessed with your own special moment in time that will provide never ending joy and inspiration as you journey through life.

I WAS THERE

Kerouac aint comin back
Dean took the final trip
and angelheaded hipsters
now hustle sunset strip

San Francisco aint kool no more
but it’s still very gay
except the folks are fading fast
cause aids got in the way

Timothy Leary is finally dead
he’s in search of the holy host
Richard Alpert changed his name
Baba Ram Dass tripped out the most

Allen went looking for an angry fix
howling at Moloch while seeking salvation
jazzed out on bennies and eyeball kicks
the soul of the beat generation

Jim opened new doors and felt our desire
he fanned the flames and lit the fire
on his excesses we all could depend
what a shame they took his life in the end

poor Jerry and the Grateful Boys
aint playing in the band
heart attacks and heroin
dealt a losing hand

Uncle Sam and Tricky Dick
have faded from the scene
and all the ’60′s dreamers
worship holy green

the Rainbow Family still sits and drums
in circles out of time
now the poets don’t speak their words
the verses are done online

we all fall silent
poor flower child
we’ve forgotten how to hope
and where the laughter once echoed loud
we hear the tears of dope

gunshots ring out in the night
the time is getting late
we better smile and pass that joint
before all that’s left is hate

chorus or refrain:

enjoy yourself
stay in the sun
live your life
it’s your only one
i was there
but now that’s done
and i’m still having fun
YEAH
I’M STILL HAVING FUN!

What A Glorious Time: Remembering Ray Manzarek And The 1960s is a post from: The Inquisitr

Taylor Swift’s less than warm feelings towards Justin Bieber were put on blast at last week’s Billboard Music Awards, when she was seen sticking her tongue out and ‘making a face.’

The reason for her disgusted reaction?

The mere sight of gal-pal Selena Gomez giving her on-off-possibly-on-again ex-beau Bieber a peck on the cheek backstage at the event.

The moment, preserved forever in a gif that quickly went viral, appeared to be a clear sign that Swift did not approve of Gomez’s continued relationship with the Canadian star — platonic or otherwise.

Now, Swift has sparked speculation that her disapproval of Bieber is less about Gomez’s possible romance with the “As Long As You Love Me” singer, and more about a personal rift with the 19-year-old.

Asked in the press room after the awards wrapped for her reaction to Bieber’s Milestone win — for which she was shortlisted along with Bruno Mars — the “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer pointedly sidestepped, saying:

“Can we have another question?”

Further fuel to that fire came when Swift responded to another question from Access Hollywood, in which she was asked what she and Gomez had whispered when Bieber won the Milestone.

Swift and Gomez, who are good friends, sat together at the event and watched from their front row seats as Bieber was booed by sections of the audience as he accepted his third award of the night.

The 23-year-old reportedly replied: “Ohhh, you do not want to know! You do not want to open that can of worms. Especially tonight.”

When one reporter suggested she should pen a song about whatever it was she was implying, Swift quipped: “No, it’s not [me]… I’m fine!”

Then, leaving no room for doubt that her friendship with Gomez was rock solid, Swift told the room, “It’s so much more fun when she’s here!”

Gomez and Bieber dated for two years before splitting up in January.

Despite the Spring Breakers actress’ recent affirmation in a radio interview that she was available even after her visit to see Bieber in Oslo while he was on tour and two suggestive Instagrams, she was subsequently seen with him on several occasions when he returned to Los Angeles.

As for Swift — by now a media seasoned, world artist who well understands the difference between innocuous answers that would have sufficed in the press room and baiting — by choosing instead to offer provocative open-ended statements, she clearly intended the furor that has now resulted.
