Director Robert Altman, best known for M.A.S.H, Gosford Park, The Player, and Nashville
passed away at a Los Angeles hospital Monday night. Details concerning his death have not yet been released, he was 81. His independence and irreverant attitude towards standardized Hollywood filmaking will be greatly missed. Now Hollywood can continue turn out the same repackaged drivel with one less hurdle in their way. May god help us.

Video vixen Melyssa Ford is responding to the cruel lyrics in the latest song by rapper The Game. Ford is 'confused and saddened' by the song where The Game raps 'She a video vixen, but behind closed doors/She do whatever it take to get to the Grammy Awards.' The Game goes on to accuse actresses Gabriel union and Meagan Good of sleeping with rappers in pursuit of fame.
Ford started her career as a music video model (read: booty dancer) and says she is making the transition into the film world (hopefully the 'adult' world). She insists 'I am the blueprint for this industry because I have respect for myself.'
Melyssa should have responded by alluding to his sexuality. It worked for
Mya. (scroll down to 50 Cent question)
