What Celebrities Are Doing

You know those amazing shred videos by StSanders where he makes it sound as if famous bands are playing out of tune? We thought this was one of those – so laughably terrible is the guitar playing and so horrendous the vocals. But this is an official promo video for The Rolling Stones 50 & Counting tour. It’s really, really bad.

The last few times we’ve seen failed actress Tara Reid, she’s been wandering around various capital cities with those weird-as-shit manchildren Jedward. On the plus side, when she’s with them she seems happier and possibly a little less likely to break down into a milky puddle of Prozac and botox – although that’s probably because they never talk to her about anything more taxing than what colour plasticine she most likes eating.

Unfortunately this simply makes it harder for her to reintegrate with people who don’t think it’s weird that wee doesn’t taste like lemons, and results in the kind of tantrum she recently threw in a New York branch of All Saints:

“She said she needed an outfit for Coachella. She demanded a discount, because of her fame. [She then] began to scream at them and… she had to be escorted out by security. She seemed drunk.”

A celebrity throwing a strop in a clothes shop is nothing new, especially one as blatantly out of touch with reality as Tara, but it’s her press agent’s response that is the best thing about this whole story:

“Tara gets a huge discount with All Saints in the UK and Paris because she’s a walking billboard for them. She gets photographed . . . so they give her huge hookups. We told them we get a discount, and they said they’d email the press team.”

“Tara didn’t think it made sense [that she would be denied a discount] and asked them to check again. She was definitely not drunk. People love to say Tara’s hammered and this and that . . . whoever is saying that is not on Team Tara,”

Why anyone would want to encourage Tara Reid to wear their clothes is beyond us, but we’re sure All Saints have their reasons. As for the idea that anyone’s on Team Tara aside from Tara and select family members…

Did you know that Wesley Snipes was in jail? Would you have cared if you had? Probably not, but isn’t it funny how you can entirely forget someone’s existence when they’re tucked away in prison… Hmmm, they should send more celebs to jail. Actually, they really should. Some of them have committed crimes.

So, Wesley Snipes has just been released from a US prison in Pennsylvania after serving more than two years for tax evasion. He now has to do a few more months under house arrest. At first we thought it seemed a bit harsh for a tax dodge, but apparently Wesley made £24m between 1999 and 2004 and didn’t file any returns. Then he didn’t bother turning up for jail when was initially sentenced to a short spell. He must be pretty stupid. Or his accountant is.

Anyway, it got us thinking about other celebs who’ve done time – and not like Lohan and Hilton’s five minute tea break. Click through the gallery.

Wesley’s worst crime? Not even looking like a Wesley…

Some games take a little while to explain. Not the Monster Hunter series. It’s right there in the title. You might even think there were some subtle nuances or possibly just normal nuances being missed, but there really aren’t. It is simply a series concerned solely with the process of hunting monsters, and it’s huge in Japan. Mostly because these monsters are bloody difficult to kill, and there’s only one thing our oriental gaming pals like more than a spiky haired protagonist and that’s an unbelievably steep learning curve.

It’s probably for these very same reasons that Monster Hunter as a series has always had a pretty patchy reception in the West, however. Well, that along with a couple of other shortcomings – including an odd user interface and a notoriously difficult camera system.

For anyone prepared to get engaged though, there is a phenomenally rewarding game waiting underneath. For the people who haven’t played any games in the monster hunter series, the core mechanics involve blundering into battle and attempting to slay enormous beasts with woefully inadequate armour. This equipment can be made slightly less inadequate by beating the monsters and carving off their appendages, making grisly but strangely rewarding pieces of clothing, weaponry and jewellery. The core mechanic is very slick and compelling but it’ll take a few goes to beat a large monster and not die.

Each battle with a monster can last up to 50 minutes, and the monsters themselves have no health bar. The UI is distributed between the Wii U remote and the main screen, with the user being allowed to allocate key features to whichever screen they find most unobtrusive or convenient. The item combination, map reading and player interaction has been significantly improved for the Wii U version – the option to speak through the Wii U handheld screen has also been added for ease of swearing.

The monsters have been given a visual overhaul for this latest installment, with a bit more definition and a couple of extra behaviours. This is a big help when the only indicator of a monster’s health is its appearance and movement, so losing after 50 minutes of solid monster bashing should hopefully sting a little less than it did on the Wii version. The online system has also been given a bit of an overhaul with rooms being considerably easier to join, however if you’re playing on the 3DS version local multiplayer is your only option.

For fans of games like Dark Souls the unforgiving gameplay will feel great, while for the less initiated there’s some pretty comprehensive tutorial action. On the whole it’s a solid improvement on the previous Nintendo version, and with over 50 large monsters the dedicated player will have to play for several hundred hours to unlock all the content it holds.
