The word on the Cyber Street is Robert Downey Jr. playing Sherlock Holmes in the new movie premiering on Christmas Day. Photos and the trailer for the film are popping up all over the place. View the trailer now by clicking here.

After watching the trailer my mind was jolted back into thinking about Sherlock Hemlock from Sesame Street. Do you remember him, The World’s Greatest Detective? When he found a clue he’d shout out E-GAD. I do that these days when I look at the grocery bill.

I was a bigger fan of The Count but here is a fun clip of Sherlock Hemlock, Bert and their friend John John counting. I wonder what John John is up to these days?

If you enjoyed that trip to Sesame Street visit the official YouTube channel for more vids like these. Here’s a song that will stick in your mind from morning till night. You might forget the name though.

There’s a movie out in theaters I want to see called The Soloist starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx.

Another story was brought to my attention called Beth’s Story. Founded by Participant Media – the company behind such films as Good Night, and Good Luck, An Inconvenient Truth, The Soloist and The Visitor, among many others, TakePart.com  believes that a powerful story can make a difference.

“Beth’s Story was created to shine a light on the millions of people living on the street who are often times overlooked. She is a composite of their many complicated, often heartbreaking realities and of the issues and challenges that can lead to homelessness.”

I taped the MTV Movie Awards and I’m glad I did because being able to fast forward through annoying comedy clips and The Pussycat Dolls was wonderful.
I had read on the Johnny Depp Zone that Depp received 2 golden popcorn awards so I was able to search for those moments and replay again.
Winning Best Comedic Performance for Pirates 3, and Best Villain for Sweeney Todd the crowd went wild each time he accepted his popcorn trophy. Jon Voight and Tila Tequila seemed equally excited to see him on stage. This guy causes everyone to swoon regardless of age, gender, or talent.

Tom Cruise introduced Adam Sandler as the man, and the icon, but his self proclaimed arrogant performance including Solid Gold style dancers didn’t do much for me. The dancers were intriguing but Sandler’s singing bores me after about 2 minutes. He’s the kind of comedian that you love or don’t like too much. I guess that’s me, nothing against him, he’s just not that funny when he’s playing guitar. Did I tell you how much I love my Replay TV fast forward button?

Mike Myers promo of “I am Hollywood” was a cool idea and the return of Wayne’s World was accepted with a standing ovation. America really is in need of entertainment. I was a Wayne’s World fan in the 90’s but I’m not convinced I would have jumped up so quickly and with such enthusiasm as the audience did. Maybe you had to be there to feel the energy. Myers and Carvey seemed comfortable with their old characters. The third film idea must be floating out there somewhere. Party on Wayne and party on Garth!

I did like the clip from Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., and Ben Stiller, their funny, over the top and gory fake blood scene at the end was entertaining. Check out MTV for the clip called Tropic Thunder Viral Video.

Lindsay Lohan, on stage with P. Diddy, and Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer was irritating rather than interesting. I don’t think P. Diddy’s repetitive line “Yes we can!” helped Obama or Oprah very much. Overall, the exciting moments were dulled a bit by the idea of trying hard to be unique and cool at the same time. There were some highlights I found amusing, mostly seeing Johnny Depp’s Public Enemies hair style and finding out he has a new tattoo was enough for this Depp fan. Overall I hit fast forward for the majority of the show. I’m having fun browsing through the extras on MTV.com, blogs, pics, and the schmoozing celebs back stage clips. You can watch the show in it’s entirety on MTV.com if you didn’t get a chance to fast forward via TIVO or other such helpful device. Maybe I’m too old for the MTV Movie Awards. Anyone know when VH1 has theirs?
