Another weekend, another Rude Review and I'll be damned if we didn't have a hard time following last week's show, but we may have topped it. I will say that the sound quality on this one is not up to par as we had some studio problems, but you can still hear it fine, it just isn't up to traditional RopeofSilicon quality and for that I apologize.

This week we offer up jabs all over Hollywood even though I try to show a little bit of sympathy some idiocy just can't be tolerated. I don't want to spoil the show, so just do what you do and take a listen.

Download and disclaimer to follow…

SPECIAL NOTE: Just so you know, for those of you out there that get offended easily, don't listen, this is obviously not for you. There is profanity, and this is all in the name of fun. So, if you can't handle that there is no need to go any further. Also, Andre's news story is satirical and meant for entertainment purposes only, all names are invented except for when public figures are named and being satirized. Any association with anyone's real name is accidental.

EPISODE #6 GUIDE

TOPIC #1: VANNA WHITE GETS A WALK OF FAME STAR?
Insanity at its finest. Hollywood has run out of stars and the Walk of Fame is starting to get as washed up as the cast of the "Surreal Life."

SOURCE: Yahoo!

TOPIC #2: DO CELEBS DESERVE THE BEAT DOWNS?
This is pretty much a generic topic centering around the idea that celebrities seem to get hammered for just about everything and then some, including speculation that normally turns out to be false. But I don't want to ruin the topic so just have a listen.

TOPIC #3: SIMPSON, LACHEY, SHEEN & RICHARDS
One is an idiot, one is a crier that wanted to play football, one wants to kill his wife and the other is just running for her life. We'll put the names with the descriptions, but I don't think you will have a hard time without our help.

TOPIC #4: TRANSFORMERS CASTING A TON OF HUMANS!
It seems like the live-action version of the Transformers may have more humans that "robots in disguise" and Laremy seems a bit upset about that. GEEK!

SOURCE: IGN

TOPIC #5: ACTORS MAKING THE MOVE FROM TV TO MOVIES
With the rise in popularity and production value of television dramas now days is it becoming harder for actors to make the jump from television to movies? Do we now recognize them solely as their television characters making it hard for us to connect with them in any other role?

TOPIC #6: J.J. ABRAMS WRITING, DIRECTING AND PRODUCING STAR TREK 11
This news came out this week and at first I was all giddy. Now I have had the chance to let it marinate and I have a few issues to take up with the idea of teh 11th film in the Star Trek franchise being a Kirk and Spock prequel.

TOPIC #7: JULIA ROBERTS GETS HAMMERED BY BROADWAY CRITICS

How about these for reviews:

The New York Times, generally considered the most important outlet for theater reviews, burbled about Roberts the Hollywood star, the paper's critic confessing he was "a Juliaholic." But then he said, "That she does not do well at least not by any conventional standards of theatrical art is unlikely to lose Ms. Roberts any fans, though it definitely won't win her any new ones among drama snobs."

Said the New York Post, "Hated the play. To be sadly honest, even hated her. At least I liked the rain even if three days of it can seem an eternity… As mesmerizing as she is on-screen, she has surprisingly little stage presence."

The Associated Press agreed, saying Roberts "gives a small, modest performance that throws off the delicate equilibrium of Greenberg's thoughtful, carefully calibrated play. … The personality appealing, vulnerable and sometimes quirky that often defines Roberts in film is missing here."

Variety, the show-biz trade paper, declared the actress to be "a beguiling but opaque presence where an insightful character study is required."

The Boston Globe: "`Three Days of Rain.' Two and a half hours of Julia Roberts. One hundred and fifty minutes of tedium."
