Meet Freddy Krueger 2.0?
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
Billy Bob Thornton can pretty much play anything in my book, so I wasn’t surprised, nor upset, that he might be taking over the Freddy Krueger role. Robert Englund is the Freddy we all know and love, but word on the street is that he won’t be taking on the role in the planned Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Robert announced the news last week while promoting another movie on local radio show ‘Loveline’. Actually, he didn’t announce – he simply stated that he “heard a rumor” that Billy Bob would be taking over the Freddy role. There has been no confirmation from Billy Bob nor the producers of the remake, so for now this is all a rumor. Still, I would love to see Billy Bob do his take on Krueger. Angelina’s ex is a pretty darn good actor, after all.

Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton is doing a lot of singing these days. Billy and his band, the Boxmasters, have been performing around the country and getting pretty decent reviews for their “Modbillly” sound, as one newspaper called it. So it’s been jolly good times for Angelina’s ex lately. To top it off, it’s his birthday today. Happy 53rd birthday, Billy Bob! We hope you get to rock out on your special day! Other folks celebrating with BB:
Cole & Dylan Sprouse (the Disney stars are 16)

YoYo (the rapper is 37)
Danie Dae Kim (the Lost star is 40)
Roger Clemens (the retired baseball pitcher is 46)
Barack Obama (our next president is 47 today)
Lauren Tom (the Joy Luck Club actress is 49)

Billy Bob Shows Us His Eagle Eye
Thursday, November 29th, 2007
Okay, he really doesn’t have an eagle eye, but if there was anyone in Hollywood who would have an eagle eye, it would be him. Yes, we stand by that comment. Actually, we caught Angelina’s ex filming Eagle Eye at LAX, which also stars none other than young phenom Shia LaBeouf. Billy Bob still grabs headlines, probably because he has that mysterious demeanor about him. There has to be a reason Angelina gravitated to him, right? He’s like that weirdly sexy older man chicks enjoy liking. That made absolutely no sense, but I gather you know what I’m talking about. Plus, the man is a great actor. He did get an Oscar for his portrayal of Karl Childers in Sling Blade. Since the movie is almost 10 years old, there may be some younger fans who are not familiar with this classic, but it’s worth a rental from NetFlix or Blockbuster. Anyway, we have more pics of the great Billy Bob coming at you.
