David Blaine

The New York City Marthon was this weekend and the stars came out for it (some of them anyway).

Edward Norton and Anthony Edwards, who are in better shape than we ever thought, finished in under four hours, and Alanis Morisette came in just under four-and-a-half.

Abracadabra…David Blaine magically made a woman who wants to marry him appear.

The formerly-cool-magician-turned-douche-y showboat “illusionist,” 36, is planning to marry his French girlfriend, 23-year-old model Alizee Guinochet.

A magician and a model?

That worked out real well for Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield.  

Their honeymoon will take place in an ice tank, suspended fifty feet in the air, upside down.

David Blaine is an asshat.

But he’s an asshat who cares and that almost makes him forgivable.

Blaine, who once spent 63 hours in a block of ice just to prove he could (and because, like we said, he’s an asshat), decided to freeze for a cause today.

He literally gave the coat off his back this morning and donated his outerwear to the New York Cares coat drive. He then stood in Bryant Park, wearing only a T-shirt and slacks in 15-degree weather, collecting coats and autographing his custom playing cards.

Against our better judgment, we watched David Blaine’s Dive of Death last night and it was the most anti-climatic piece of self-indulgence we’ve ever seen. His final “trick” was a jump off a 44-foot ledge, assisted by cables that caught him before he touched the ground and then hoisted him away into the night where he “disappeared.” It was pathetic. We could hear the audience booing just like we were on our couch.

Wack, weak, lame, boo!

Hey David Blaine, that doesn’t look upside down to us.

“Magician” (what he does isn’t magical, it’s just asinine) David Blaine is supposed to be hanging upside down in Central Park for 60 hours straight.

Why, you might ask yourself? Because he’s an attention hungry imbecile.

After stomach churning rumors that Miranda Kerr had dumped Orlando Bloom for nasty ass oil heir Brandon Davis, the couple was spotted in Soho enjoyin a sushi lunch with freakshow David Blaine before scooting off on Orlando’s motorcycle.

Game on!

What is David Blaine’s problem? Why can’t he just go to Vegas, get some tigers or a hot assistant and make things disappear? He could start with himself.

Blaine has announced he’s undertaking a new stunt where he will hang upside down six stories above Central Park for three days and two nights without food or water. Why would you do that? Hello, headrush. And can you imagine peeing upside down? Ew!

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
