Guillermo Del Toro creates The Simpsons Halloween Couch Gag
Alfred Hitchcock Monday, October 07, 2013
Director Guillermo Del Toro creates an intro for The Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror XXIV".
It's that time of the year again, when the jack-o'-lantern's come out, crazy costumes appear, the world turns orange, green and black and quite simply everyone goes bonkers! Yes, you guessed it, Halloween is indeed nigh!
Every Halloween as you avid fans of The Simpson's would know, a spooky special is aired. For each of those spooky episodes there are a few changes, not only do the characters get a change of outfits, they become different people - representing some person from ancient history or Halloween themed stories. The credits also change, such as creator Matt Groening's name becoming "Bat Groening".
Now in its 23rd year after launching in 1990. The "Couch Gag" sequence for this year's Treehouse of Horror XXIV (or "intro" if that simplifies things) has been specially directed by Guillermo Del Toro. And might I say it is pretty awesome!

LIVE BLOG: CELEB LINE UP PART 2
The seventh housemate is glamour model and wag Nicola McLean. This should be interesting as she's had a spat with Natalie in the past! Will this intense setting reignite their differences? Nicola says she can be quite 'motherly' maybe they'll fight over Cocozza!! Nicola already seems tired of Natalie asking if they're 'cool' because of her secret mission!
Up next is the well reem Kirk Norcross from The Only Way Is Essex. Another Essex half way star destined to make it as big as ex-TOWIE star Amy Childs. I think he'll come out good mates with Frankie - I'm worried about that (though he's older).

Natalie Cassidy the first in this years house was given a secret mission straight away. Her task was to put in an in-ear piece and do what Big Brother tells her to do. She's already annoyed second housemate in - Michael by making Free Willy remarks such as, "Hey Free Willy give me a hi five!" She's had to kiss fifth housemate Frankie on the lips and tell the 18 year old that she fancies younger men. Thus far she's doing really well but I really want her to fail the task so they don't get their suitcases !!
Michael Madsen seems like he's going to be great. Not knowing anything about him apart from the fact that he's an actor and he's well known character from Reservoir Dogs. Having said that I liked him the minute he said "I don't know fuck all about Big Brother". Hopefully I'm correct !! Andrew Stone's hair I can tell is going to be a integral part of my tweeting. He can't stop flicking his hair already!

Rhythmix vs. Rhythmix
Rhythmix the only girlband in this years X Factor top 12 are stuck in a bit of a bother regarding their band name. A charity with the same name has contacted Simon Cowell founder of SYCO Entertainment has been acused of using the name being fully aware that it was a licenced/registered name for the childrens charity. A Facebook page was even set up in protest against the X Factor winner holding this years Christmas number one spot.
Rhythmix will now have to change their name. A spokesman for The X Factor has said:
Rhythmix will now have to change their name. A spokesman for The X Factor has said:
"At the request of the charity Rhythmix, the members of the girl group Rhythmix have decided to change their name, a decision which has the support of Syco and TalkbackThames. The group's new name will be announced in due course."Really Rhytmix - even though thrown together by the judges (because they're desperate for a group to win this year) should have researched their name. Then again, it might have been given too them so they're not entirely at fault. Mr Cowell should have known better. What do you think they should call themselves now..?
OH DEAR !!
Fringe Season Four Is Here
All of a sudden all the good shows are coming back to our television sets. Reality tv show, fiction, the works. It's all great stuff because autumn is here and as the days get colder and shorter and people are more likely to stay in during the evenings. On the other hand the clashes are bloody irritating. There's nothing more annoying during tv time when your favourite shows clash. Yes I know you can record shows and all that jazz, but it's bar the point. ANYWAY...to the main point of this post. Fringe is back !! Check out this teaser video and preview below...
AWWW don't you just love seeing old pictures of celebs before they were famous..? Yesterday I posted some pre-Barbie photographs of Nicki Minaj. Today I give you young Ciara !! She hasn't changed much mind you. I mean she did enter the game around the age of 18. She will also be on the MTV show When I Was 17, that has seen the likes of Drake and Trey Songz. Check out some more when you read on...
Props to UltimateCiara.com
I never thought I’d hear or visualise the day Victoria Beckham, would be acting. Well the former Spice Girl, is set to be voicing a character in Nickelodeon’s hit cartoon show SpongBob Squarepants !! NO WORD OF A LIE… She will be voicing a mermaid called Queen Amphitrite, in a special called, ‘The Clash of Triton’. Posh told the press, how much it means to her and her three boys:“I was so thrilled when I was asked to be a part of SpongeBob as my children love the show. When I told the boys that I was going to be on the show, they were so excited! I had such a great time recording the voice of Queen Amphitrite. How fun to be a queen for a day! We are all looking forward to watching it together”
Of course she would find it fun being a queen for the day, after all their house was called ‘Beckingham Palace UK
GOOD ON YOU VICKY !!

Big Brother 11 Has Started !!
SUMMER HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED !! The final series of Big Brother has commenced. A new house - interior wise, a new theme, new twists and of course most importantly new housemates !! HOW EXCITING !! However it's not like the past 10 series that have passed, the BB11 housemates (HMs) actually know each other. Having stayed in groups of potential HMs (totaling to 81 prospectives) in a secret location, they have had a couple days to get to know people they might be living with for 3 months !! I'm not quite sure I like the idea of that, but then again it will soon create groups and then of course the rifts that we all love (WELL I LIKE THEM) !! I tend to give the HMs nicknames, which are either based on my first impressions, tasks in the house or how they behave in the house !! Meet this years nutty lineup after these eyes...MUHAHAHAAA !!
An unusual collaboration but a really cool one. On Friday nights BBC1 show Tonight With Jonathan Ross the 'Frisky' rapper Tinie Tempah teamed up with US band Gorillaz performing their classic 'Clint Eastwood' and something new from their latest album Plastic Beach. Tinie Tempah features on a remix by Labrinth of their first single that was released from the album back in January called 'Stylo'. (Have a listen below)
The performance was really cool, and I think it was the first I've actually seen the Gorillaz as people !! THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TOONS !! Check out their Friday night colab. performance where Tinie wrote a rap for the classic.

THEY ARE SO COOL !!
YEAAAA.. Big Brother is back !! The eye was revealed yesterday. This years eye is very floral, but has a huge but emotional concept. The eye represents the death of Big Brother. LIKE A *FUNERAL MAYBE..? Death a little bit melancholy but hey, it is the last. The design is a:
"vibrant floral tribute marking of the end of Big Brother and the eleven years of entertainment the show has brought its millions of fans over the summer months"
At the moment Channel 4 have been showing a short clip of the flowers, but the eye hasn't been properly televised. There will be a trailer of the last Big Brother on Monday during the ad-break of a show presented by Davina McCall - The Million Pound Drop Live which airs at 10pm SO STAY LOCKED !! The trailer will feature past housemates at Big Brother's *funeral, where the the chair will be lowered into the ground AWWW. The final series of the god-father of UK reality shows is expected to start on the second week of June.
I CAN'T WAIT !!
YES YOU READ THAT HEADLINE CORRECTLY !! Vanessa Williams previously known to us as the horrible chief editor at mode, Wilhemina Slater has crossed over to Desperate Housewives !! Since the cancellation of hit US show Ugly Betty Vanessa has been preparing herself to move from the city to the suburbs !! There has been no let out thus far about her storyline or character name. One thing a representative from the ABC network did expose about her character was:"[she will] wreck havoc in the lives of the women on Wisteria Lane"
Well I sense wee will see a continuation of her bitter character from Ugly Betty !! This should be great fun to watch. The seventh series of Desperate Housewives arrives in autumn in the US. Hopefully around the same time for us in the UK !! It is rumored to be the last series of the show.
THIS SHOULD BE GREAT VIEWING !!
Meet The Adebanjo's
I've seen this floating around cyber space for some time now, and it's only right I support the communtity and share the coming of this new sitcom, Meet The Adebanjo's. IN THEIR WORDS...
"A brand NEW revolutionary comedy sitcom about an African-British Family living in the UK. In a comedic way it deals with how a family with 2 Nigerian born parents and British born kids adapt to life in the UK."
That sounds real cool right. It deals with everyday conflicts of relationships, growing up, eduction, family values, acceptance - you name it. Perfect for the whole family to sit down an have a good laugh and engage in another cultures way of life. It should be hitting a UK television channel sometime in the summer. For those not going on holiday this year, this will occupy some of your time, and you'll have fun watching it !! To find out more check out their website here. In the meanwhile, you've got to watch these two trailers !!
COMING SOON TO A TV SET NEAR YOU !!
Ben's Slaggin' It !!
Everyone that watches Eastenders will know that Ben Mitchell is the biggest puss in the show. He's a youngster who's voice hasn't even thought of breaking, likes dancing and possibly everything most girls like to do his age !! The unlikely Mitchell who is currently played by 13 year old Charlie Jones. Last night his script shocked London's youth, when he decided to stunt and switch up his speech in the cafe !! At the moment Ben is being bullied by mouthy girls at his school. After Shirley bad them up, they have left him alone for a bit and moved onto other people. Ben feels like a badman now and all of a sudden is talking street !! YES. I REPEAT. TALKING STREET !! On the episode last night he was talking to Zja Zja in the cafe and he had the most strangest verbal dioreah of slang where he dropped the words 'lick' 'sweardown' 'chillax', 'crotch', 'init'. Nope I didn't make a spelling error, and Zja Zja surely corrected him:

"You don't to pretend to be someone you're not...So it's cotch not 'crotch'. Crotch is ya bum!"Then later on he went and dropped 'blud' on Jordon and that's where the people of Facebook and Twitter were laughing and asking if they really heard right !! I still can't believe it. I only just realized he tried to stunt in front of Zja Zja on this post !! To re-live the moment, some great person has created a video that will reassure you that you're not going deaf of all that loud music just yet !! Go on have a laugh !!
ERMM...
In addition to my last post. A couple minutes ago, on E4's Celebrity Big Brothers Big Mouth. It was revealed that Dane Bowers has suspected the dodgy chicken to be non other than Davina McCall. Well isn't someone a clever clogs !!
