GREEN LANTERN sends out crazy cool stuff to 100 folks nationwide... I was one of them...
Hey folks, Harry here - I was planning on taking a ton of photos today of the GREEN LANTERN loot that I was "chosen" to receive today. You see, Warner Brothers, in a rather cool (cool if you're a recipient, enraging if you're not) bit of promotion.
Now, I'm not entirely sure who all got them, but I know Kevin Smith, Greg & HitFix, Frosty at Collider, Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon, Kobe Bryant, Chris Pine, Jay-Z, Taylor 'Ab-Lad' Lautner, Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds... along with 89 others, including myself & apparently Jaime King - well we were chosen, allegedly by the Green Lantern Corps... which oddly enough I believe to be in close association with Warner Brothers' Marketing Department, to receive a really badass & limited - GREEN LANTERN RING from the movie, in a gorgeous presentation case. I got mine on Tuesday.
I've been wearing it a bit too much. Seriously. I haven't geeked out on a promo item like this Green Lantern ring for a very long time. Brightly lit photos of it just do not do it justice. If you have the lights off, and you're typing on a computer screen... the way the faceted green jeweled top catches the light, arc-ing it through the ring as you type. SO COOL LOOKING. Then there's the center of the ring which seems to be designed to catch and reflect the light through a green stone, surrounded by a tiny golden ring - which I have to say feels incredibly wrong that anything yellow be within the ring... of course, it technically is GOLD, but it does give pause for a GREEN LANTERN geek... but it also aesthetically looks incredibly fetching.
Now - about the photos. I fully intended to come home today from THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST (fucking amazing) - and begin taking a ton of photos before heading off to HARRY POTTER YULE BALL at the Alamo Drafthouse tonight, but I saw Frosty over at COLLIDER - really did a great job documenting visually the ring as well as the amazing FERRIS AIRCRAFT box... specifically - Hal Jordan's Box - which when you open the lid, you hear Ryan saying the Green Lantern Oath. Then in a secret compartment is a Hoodie, a Hat, a T-shirt and a bracelet all branded with the first DC Direct official movie merch... of which there will be tons more produced over the next year.
I have to say, in terms of crazy cool promotions - this one is exceptionally cool. I mean. I have correspondence from the Green Lantern Corps choosing me. GEEK! Seriously cool. This isn't quite as cool as Sean Astin making me an official GOONIE in New Zealand... or the State of Kentucky making me a Colonel. But it is pretty goddamn cool!

...My Green Lantern Ring Would Be Creating Jealousy Right Now

You're really gonna hawk this one to death, aren'tcha?
by Hint_of_Smegma
Hoping it'll be a bit of fun, and while I hate the usual constant stream of negativity - this doesn't look great so far. I'll keep an open mind for the release but that trailer wasn't exactly too good....ah, I won't be happy until ROM: Spaceknight hits the screens.
-
I want a ring! <p>And, Harry, it looks like you have lost quite a bit of weight, my brutha from another mutha! </p>
-
...to a lot of people who will immediately toss it. Seriously what are Kobe Bryant or Matt Damon going to do with promo items from the Green Lantern?
-
I'm assuming you don't mean a team member on the now defunct ABA basketball team. Regardless....you lucky fuck.
-
... finger Harry! Your Lantern Corps status is revoked!
-
Or give it to one of his kids. Something tells me he's way too cool for this movie merch shit, especially from a superhero movie. Kobe Bryant, however, will probably think it's awesome. And that's today's Hollywood Minute, folks.
-
People want to know.
-
Harry, you look like Rocky Dennis...
-
Hey everyone. Heads up for Paul trailer on Odeon uk website.
-
I got my Sinistro Corps ring out of a box of Cap'n Crunch this morning, and I'm obliged to hunt your ass down...
-
as one of the 100 lucky recipients of the commemorative Green Lantern cock ring. I'll be sure to post photos, too.
-
while the true fans get SHIT. Another reason to hate this film.
-
SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI
-
for that abortion of a movie trailer.
-
So, you post "first" when you aren't even first and then post again to mock Harry's physical dimensions. You must be the epitome of perfection. Saying "first" is more than old. Saying Harry is fat is a moot point. Isn't there some kind of MMA fight you must be missing? I mean at least you could appreciate their physiques! Thanks for coming by.

Breathless comparisons! Random swearing! Demands to pwn things! Liberal use of "game-changer"! Total defense of all aspects! Hyperbolic assurances!

Why don't Warner Brothers just send a Philipino hooker?

They might as well just get to the point in their quest to get you to like them! ;) Congrats on your swag my friend! Cool Deal Indeed!
-
jesus..
-
but what really gave me goosebumps was the little video with Hal Jordan reciting his oath.
-
Not rhetorical, I'm seriously asking.
-
He SHOULD look thinner, but Harry's lap band and his dad's BBQ ribs are having a battle over his waistline so epic that even Gandalf The White, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Albus Dumbledore would flee the scene...

When I read "I was one of them" I just KNEW this one was Harry's
by ricarleite2
This fat fuck will not lose a single moment to do egomaniac rantings about himself, himself and... himself. Now, does anyone have any DOUBT Harry will love Green Lantern and praise it on his usual fucked up reviews? I guarantee Harry won't sleep on this one. Meanwhile, AICN runs copy and paste news from Yahoo! News two days later.
-
I wonder if he's on the list and I wonder if he'll be as unimpressed with it as he was the Iron Man prop helmet Favs sent him. Love Howeird, but sometimes he's an entitled, ungrateful fuck.
-
is because Parallax is entrapped inside the main power battery, Harry!
-
Is the green light on your face being reflected off the ring, or is there a light source inside the ring, or is that light coming from a green lightbulb just outside the frame?<p> I'm genuinely curious.
-
the operator of a hugely influential genre newssite was "chosen" by a studio to receive some free swag. In other news, also completely coincidental, I turned on a faucet and got some free water.
-
Except that movie was amazing and this looks like a board room of assholes Voltron'd into one giant asshole and took a dump in front of a camera.
-
if it can turn Ryan Reynolds into Harry Knowles.
-
ugh, I'm so jealous.
-
not a new rumor but suddenly a rumor that has amplified a lot today.
-
...conjure up his DVD review column.
-
...probably had something to do with the letter bombs. They seemed like a good idea at the time.

Good thing you mentioned the Kentucky Colonel
by The Reluctant Austinite
honor being cooler than being inducted into the Green Lantern Corp. I've got some Geek power in this fucking state, and you just saved yourself a Kentucky Fried Ass-Kicking at Wonderfest next year. Try your Green Lantern ring powers on a gang of pissed off corn fed Kentucky geeks. You dodged a bullet, Harry!
-
I'm really happy for her and I'm gonna let you finish but I just have to say that ScarJo is the greatest Green Lantern of ALL TIME.
-
...but I couldn't be arsed. Here's a link to another site if you want to see photos. But anyway, back to the fact that I got free stuff and you didn't.
-
will steal this ring from Harry's stinky, bloated corpse after diabetes claims him as its next victim? Probably either Quint or Capone. They both seem like sniveling lowlifes.
-
..sorry, an Australian-only joke there. Move along... nothing to see here.
-
If only Harry would have gotten a top from Inception.
-
Harry'll wear a GL ring! Bet his wife is THRILLED about that! Better re-think that one Harry, before wifey decides to turn you into a "Green Lantern Corpse"!
-
The fat, bald troll with his pic in this post can keep his Green Lantern schwag. And I'll keep my thin, trim frame with a full head of hair that people actually want to have sex with.
-
Who cares about that shitfest when Tom Hardy could potentially be playing Hugo Strange in TDKR.
-
you may now laugh.
-
...as much free swag as ol' Harry. Free pop culture items...free DVDs and Blu-Rays (to "review")...free trips around the world to go "behind the scenes"...all so I could go on and on about how great the studio's movies are...only to receive more free stuff in exchange. I think in the 50's they called it "payola". Oh, on a completely different topic: looks like the weight loss is kicking in...good for you, man! But please, grow a fucking moustache already...that Amish looking thing has always looked so creepy....eesh!

Never show your face on your own website and allow people to comment.

So you received this on Tuesday then posted how great the traile
by Chewtoy
I probably would have found that trailer to be awesome too if I had gotten the free swag with it.
-
but I have an electronic Darth Vader FX lightsaber in the corner
-
Yes. Their offices were filled with it. In fact, Ebert gave me some everytime I guest hosted. We don't request this stuff, it gets sent to us. For example, my GL stuff, I gave to my nephew today... except the ring. The ring is mine. The ring is cool.
-
Dude, seriously you would alot less geekish if you had a full beard and not just a chin strap, like Zalifanakis style.. or Leonidis
-
You see, the idea is to get the swag, but keep quiet about it, give the glowing review so thoughtfully purchased by the marketing department with a few plastic shit-bits and odd & ends posted through your letter box - and no one is none the wiser, and you`re already tenuous credibility remains some semblance of impartiality. Geek or not, its toys and shit mate - grow up a little bit.
-
Did that ring guarantee a great review from Harry? Hmmmm...
-
He's dressing as an Illianer. What of it?
-
The idea of trying to get "tastemakers" to publically sport GL rings in the runup to the movie's release is darn cute. Probably a waste of money, but still inventive.
-
I just can't remember that ever working out on the plus side for the film. Granted, I have a weak memory, and it's really unlikely that GREEN LANTERN will bomb like SCOTT PILGRIM. I mean, it's bound to do better business than KICK-ASS.<P>Still, you know, Warner Bros. is gonna have to do some real work between now and then to mitigate The Curse of AICN.

LADIES AND GENTS THIS SEALS HARRY'S REVIEW OF THE FILM
by ThisBethesdaSea
nuff said....He's been officially bought out by Warner Brothers.
-
The celebs will see the movie for FREE
-
that all you guys (not everyone) are ripping into Harry for receiving goods and it tainting his opinion of the review for the movie in future.<p>It's his site and his opinion, you don't have to visit and if you do, you can disagree. Being rude about the guy is not really cool!<p>just my opinion.
-
The celebs will see the movies for FREE and get MORE
-
Anyways, we the "normal" people gets screw again!
-
You made me cry with laughter. My wife got made because I woke her up. THX!
-
Now as for handsome, not sooo much....
-
So a hundred priveledged Hollywood/entertainment insiders got the ring, instead of a hundred fans who could have signed up on the movie website for updates. That's just lovely.
-
..i'm laughing here too. more more!
-
Put that asian woman to work. Oh and nice ring brah.
-
Can't wait to fire up the old script blocker for the inevitable flash ads that will litter this place when the movie does come out.
-
He has the rage!!
-
for the woman that has that crawl on top of her to insert his half erect anteater inside her.
-
Consider this a bride... from Max Bialystock. I am sure the reviews will be glowing. What a farce.
-
and a gun so they can off themselves after watching the shitty, boring, STOOPID looking trailer for this film.
-
I mean, highly coveted collectible payola is still payola.
-
I swear to god I am still snickering out loud at your depiction. Even though I do not hate on Harry, one can't help but chuckle.
-
Harry you hosted Ebert's show? I thought i recalled him denouncing your reviewing style..
-
I swear when I scrolled and only the top of your head came out, thats who I thought you were
-
Fuckin' green diamonds and the like. I don't suppose you can conjure up some huge fuckin' green superhero hammer? One to smite that limp dick cocksucker, MJs_Cold_Dead_Pale_Corpse? He's sure to cut the cheese in here any fuckin' minute.
-
Very disrespectful to the deceased Kink of Poop.
-
but they were all mostly rich and famous people who get things handed to them on plate and fuck you everyone- by the way, here's a loot bag for being rich- yeah, we know you dont need it but it'll make proles want it if they see you with it. Thanks for the photo of your green ring Harry. Hope the cream works
-
So, lots of celebs and media folks get the ring, and they talk about the ring, wear the ring... hype the fucking movie. I am more than certain that the "goodie box" of sweatshirts and shit is not all that the "trend-setters" receive. Giving Jay-Z a ring and a big check is not going to make me see this movie. This film has officially been downgraded to "rent it from Redbox." Or, better yet, PAY ME to see that shit, DC!
-
NEWS FLASH: FAMOUS PEOPLE GET FREE STUFF. THE REST OF YOU GET SHIT. MORE AT ELEVEN.
-
That ring looks cool. Would love to get one of those.
-
RR is a good actor- very likeable- ALWAYS appears in POS Comicbook movies. I'll be watching the Last Airbender in a loop before I watch this
-
seriously, Im tying to eat some fucknig chips here, and im getting grossed out!

So the ring is not a lantern, the lantern is not a lantern
by Lang The Cat
How does Green Lantern get to be Green LANTERN if nothing is a lantern?
-
but only after they do MICRONAUTS! Don't deny it. You know it would be cool.
-
Once the poison is released in the atmosphere, the rings will open to reveal the antidote. Only they and their immediate family will be able to survive the apocalypse. Or something like that...
-
Like fantastic four bad.
-
Tom Hardy should have been Hal Jordan.
-
I had spinach last night and low and behold I had a free green turd floating in the comode this afternoon...Harry do you want to trade? I'll even throw in a few peanuts...
-
How many buckets of chicken did you have to put away to receive that "coveted honor"? Judging by the pic, evidently quite a few. In real News, EW has Game of Thrones pics, AKA pics people actually want to look at.
-
has real possibilities! But I'm waiting for Blake Lively to do her Star Sapphire outfit justice. Just a few more crunches, Blakey...
-
with no curves. Try a real woman. Like Olivia Wylde or somethin'.
-
Nothing against Harry on a personal note, but his ego does seem out of control as of late.....
-
Seeing how many chips are at the bottom of the bag.
-
Jay Sherman's entire wardrobe and furnishings were made up of studio swag. I always wondered if that was some sort of swipe at Siskel & Ebert or movie critics in general.
-
I liked how Oa, Abin Sur, Kilowog and Sinestro looked, but Reynolds is totally miscast, is too smirky and jokey, and he looks retarded in the suit. Oh, and Blake Lively is hot, but, man, was that some inept line reading.
-
Harry's got the ring, now his review will proclaim this movie to be perfect in every way. He will tell us how he squealed in delight, pissed his pants in pleasure, and even how he wore his ring to the movie to show it off to other geeks. You've been bought for a trinket, Harry...a trinket!
-
Give that fucking ring to your nephew you greedy bastard. On a side note, you might as well post your GL review right now seeing as you've already been bought.
-
That was hilarious.
-
A guaranteed positive review from ol' reliable Harry. Throw some shit his way and its a done deal. Sound familiar?? Just more proof that Harry is a fraud. Anyone else notice all the clutter laying around his house? Lazy fuck.
-
...is this today's behind the scenes pic from 'Leprechaun 2'?
-
...sucks dead horsecock.
-
Not being familiar with Gossip Girl, I decided to keep an open mind about the casting of Carol Ferris. But I have to agree that the line she delivers in the trailer was one of the worst I've ever heard. Yeah, it was out-of-context, but it was so terrible that I'm starting to dread seeing this. This movie should have been big-time, STAR WARS for a new generation, up yours AVATAR! Instead...it seems like a Fantastic Four/Ghost Rider level disappointment. But gimme a ring and I'll change my mind.
-
Please send it to me immediately. I am emerald with envy.
-
A Harm?
-
...and you WON'T see me at opening day.
-
like fucking a girl in a hostel shower in Rome. Pretty sure Harry's never done that.
-
..with KAZAM, the rapping genie? Just askin'...
-

is to be played by Shaquille O'Neal as KAZAAM! the rapping genie!

I see the names on this list of people are no exactly 'random', Jay Z for christ sake! Kobe bryant! , wheres Mrs jones from apartment 231's ring??? or Bill Handman's who live down 32nd street?
-
ate his promo ring. Then broke the toilet when he went to shit it out.
-
Not to say you, as big fan, don't deserve one, but I bet there are some press people getting them that don't know bupkis about Green Lantern. Then again, I'm sure mega fans among the populace will later have a chance....to buy them.

Sorry. T-shirt looks good though.

but the ring will.
-
They couldn't have chosen a better representative, but if it's all the same to you, I hope you never post a pic of yourself in the tight uniform. I also hope the movie lives up to your enthusiasm for it.
-
Who picked this list of celebrities to get rings? I can understand Harry getting one, and I guess the star of the film, but what the hell is, say, Taylor Swift going to do with a Green Lantern ring? Did she out herself as a comic book fan or something? I'm guessing she shoved it in a drawer and tried to forget about receiving it or gave it to some kid.
-
I listen to a great little podcast called THE GEEKBOX and people are pumped for it. They seem worried, because far from a traditional superhero movie, this is about an intergalactic space cop, so it's weird. But Harry isn't unduly pumped -- folk are interested.<p>Same with SCOTT PILGRIM, really. And like PILGRIM I think this film with play very well to a specific crowd, and the rest will discover it on video.

-
"The critic should ideally never accept round-trip first-class air transportation, a luxury hotel room, a limo to a screening and a buffet of chilled shrimp and cute little hamburgers in preparation for viewing a movie. If you go, your employer should pay for the trip. I understand some critics work for places that won't even pick up the cost of a movie ticket, and are so underpaid they have never tasted a chilled shrimp. Others work for themselves, an employer who is always going out of business. Yet they are ordered to produce a piece about Michael Cera's new film. I cut them some slack. Let them take the junket. They need the food. Also, I admire Michael Cera. But if they work for a place that is filthy rich, they should turn down freebies."

I love the Green Lantern I really do. As I type this, I'm staring at a signed Alex Ross poster of the Green Lantern on my wall. I have the complete run of Gardner Fox Green Lantern's double bagged and boxed safely. But you know, for this film I was worried. Its not as easy a sell as Batman or Superman. He's known in geek circles but would the general public take to him? I got to the theatre early and sat in my favorite spot right next to my beautiful wife. She'd never heard of the green lantern until last week, so I took it upon myself to read to her every single GL comic I owned, I also showed her every episode of the Justice League - she's now a bigger GL fan than me! As the movie began, I started to giggle, big uncontrollable giggles. I feel Ryan Reynolds nailed Hal Jordan, sure there's been other GL's, but I always felt that Hal was MY GL. When Ryan recites the famous line 'In brightest day....' I admit my eyes welled up and huge tears started rolling down my cheeks and I started crying uncontrollably. I shall see this film at least another 8 times. Well done Warners I cannot wait to see GL2.

You're out  ‍‍‍‍<br>of your mind
by TheUmpireStrokesBach
Yeah. Ain't it...swag?<p> Harry, since you seem to have tapped the vein on all these goodies, I'm thinking you should share the wealth and do way more contests than you already do. Otherwise it seems like you're maybe just rubbing all your connections in our faces and showing off. Just my opinion of course.<p> But this sort of thing does remind me of this kid I once knew who had gotten that G.I.JOE Aircraft Carrier for Christmas and had it all laid out in his parents empty dining room. That little bastard would never let me play with the fucking thing, I could only stare into his front window and drool over it. His excuse had something to do with not getting the carpet dirty while his parents weren't home or some shit...whatthefuckever, that kid sucked. Don't be that kid Harold!

by SierraTangoFoxtrotUniform
It's not going to be a surprise. Looks like Harry's egotistical desire to brag won out over his desire to keep his pwesents a secret in order to project some semblance of journalistic integrity.

Dear Harry, <p>Been coming to this site for a long time, was an active poster under a different handle awhile back. Decided to start posting again. (Like anyone gives a flying fuck.)<p>Anyhoo, this is the kind of "news feature" that really does not do you much good. Yes, Siskel and Ebert got a lot of free crap. I'm sure all the "celebrity" reviewers do.<p>But few of them brag about it.<P>It's really unbecoming.
-
there will be many a pencil stabbing to come...<p>And Coolio, just because.
-
you all got fancy rings. But who is the lord of them?....and thats not a gay jibe!
-
Ring looks good on you though. :)
-
Skull ring replicas made from some cheap metal... but not plastic. I forget where I got mine (local theatre?). The promotion didn't save the movie though.
-
Using your website to brag about this smacks of you trying to make the rest of us feel bad. I've been defending you lately, but I can't see a justification for this "boast-post" outside of truly attempting to feel like King of the Geeks. I'm sick over this.
-
Well said, sir. I agree completely.
-
I'll put up the picture of me holding the coin.

Suck it losers!

...but at least when he gets bought off, he tells everyone about it. Is that similar to journalistic integrity, in a multiplying-negative-numbers kind of way? I'd rather read reviews from someone I know I can trust, but in absence of that, I like to know when not to trust them. At least next summer when Harry is one of the few people in love with the incredibly mediocre Green Lantern, you'll be able to look back to this article and understand why.

Ebert got five rings, he's storing them in his jaw-sack.
by Stuntcock Mike
I guess Lantern will be getting good reviews round these parts.

Not that this swag would have made a cool contest prize for your readers, who are the reason you even get this shit sent to you in the first place. Then you skip a screening of Tron you could report on...why do you even run this site?

Cracked.com: Why Green Lantern trailer looks familiar.
by Royston Lodge
Pretty decent analysis, IMHO:<p> http://tinyurl.com/2cg9vtq

Okay, all those claiming to belong (including you, HeadGeek): Whose the governor on your certificate? Mine's Brereton C. Jones. <p><p> Anyone ever been to the Colonel's breakfast at the Derby? Being in the order doesn't really get you much, but I used to like waving my certificate around in a clenched fist and yelling, "I'm a Kentucky Colonel, goddammit!"....Then I went and had it framed. Sigh. <p><p> Also, Harry's lost weight. Nice of all you mean-spirited pederasts to notice and compliment someone on making a major change for the betterment of their health.
-
Very nicely done, turning Voltron into a verb. My hat is off to you...
-
is that Carol Ferris becomes Star Sapphire, and makes her mission to kick Hal Jordan/Green Lantern's ass, which she does. Nearly kills the guy. Lois Lane, Mary Jane Watson and Rachel(the lawyer) were wimps in comparison.
-
What you and all the Green Lantern fans on Cracked's website got wrong is that the article is only about the movie (and not even that, really). It's not about how derivative the character of Green Lantern is or what happens to some random character in a couple issues of the comic or whether he was invented before Iron Man.
-
1. I'm wondering if we find any of these rings on ebay in a few weeks, because I'd get one, just to have. <p> 2. I'm not getting a good vibe from the movie. Warners is sending out tchotchkse to movie website guys already? Sounds like they're not too confident in their movie or the footage that they've seen so far.

Harry, I've read this site for years and I still believe you are motivated chiefly by the prime, purest geek enthusiasm for new pop cultural artefacts on the horizon that appeal to you and like-minded people. But I encourage you to ask yourself - WHY post an article like this, boasting of your heady exclusivity in "The 100" - which must infer your NON-inclusivity as a common excited geek - the community who you purport to represent? I've read a lot of TBs, but surely far less than you - you MUST know that the response can only be jealousy, cynicism and rightful speculation that your opinion has been crudely prejudiced via the award of trinkets. No-one would confuse you with a serious critic - but I don't say that badly. You are a geek enthuso-critic, obsessed with news and scoop and detail. Great! That's actually pretty fabulous! But when you look down at that ring, can you really tell us, you don't desperately WANT Green Lantern to be good - a little MORE than you did before? I know us geeks set aside neutrality... but the difference is: I hope GL is great, but if they sent me that ring, that would never make me want it MORE. It would make me - and it should make you - want it LESS, out of pure, old-fashioned, healthy suspicion. In the best case scenario - and I'm willing to believe it - you're SUCH a geek that you've just been blinded by that ring and will give us a fair review. But I fear I'll never quite believe that review...

That is all.

I got my own GL ring when I bought a copy of Blackest Night.

The jolly redheaded man wears you, my precious, but you were my birthday present, my precious. The precious calls to me from Austin. It calls me to me, its true owner.

Who cares if Harry gets free gifts for movies and I don't believe for a second that his reviews could be influenced by something so trivial as a trinket. Harry hasn't written a decent review in YEARS. used to be that if Harry like a movie I knew it was pretty good but that has gradually migrated to if Harry likes a movie the odds are pretty good that it really sucks. I've never in my life seen anybody get so stoked over the lamest movies. And as somebody pointed out in another talkback, it's pretty disturbing that so many of Harry's reviews or posts are full of sexual references, like he's over-compensating for being a grossly overweight, homely geek who finally got married and needs to flaunt his sexual activity. If it wasn't for a handful of other reviewers that actually wrote intelligent and informative reviews this site would have tanked years ago.

Pre-Crisis Lois Lane was given superpowers at one point...
by Royston Lodge
...as did Jimmy Olsen.<p> But that's neither here nor there...

Yeap now its clear why he likes the trailer so bad....so what other stuff are you geting if you say the movie ROCKKKSSSSSSSS????

I think I've stumbled into the wrong website. I heard on the grapevine that this is the place for unbiased discussion on cool films that only a few out of the many had heard of. ...Thats not actually TRUE is it? Next thing you'll know there'll be A list celebs turning up trying to make an extra buck out of us.....HANG ON A MINUTE!
