Tommy Chong's Ex-Publicist Releasing Book

2010-03-04T03:27:00.000-08:00

LAS VEGAS, NV, March 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hollywood Under the Covers is an intriguing world of sex, drugs, scandals, and the downside of fame due to hit the book shelves March 19. The print version and eBook are available now worldwide at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Diesel eBooks, and other online booksellers.

Hollywood Under the Covers is a rare look inside the seductive entertainment industry. To the outside world, Hollywood is portrayed with glamour, riches and fame--but to insiders, it's a cold, dark, scandalous place, where survival is not about basic instinct but the people you're sleeping with. The book exposes the erotic side of four Hollywood moneymakers, openly revealing how nothing is safe in the hands of greed. A powerful talent agent, the Mistress of Romance, two superstars, and Hollywood's biggest and best-kept secret breeds a scandalous world of betrayal.

What readers are saying about the book:

"When reading Brandie Knight's book Hollywood Under the Covers, she brought me into the underbelly of Hollywood's celebrity elite and their own personal deals with the devil. A real sexy page turner, I held it up with one hand while the other didn't want it to end," Warren Durso, Movie & TV Producer, The Vine Studio.

"One of the best books that I have ever read! It's brilliant! I couldn't put it down," Kilo Bones, Facebook, United Kingdom.
After twenty years in the entertainment industry, Knight is writing about her encounters in a fictional environment. During her career, Knight has created and produced a television pilot, two radio shows, an entertainment magazine, and the co-producer of the award-winning documentary, a/k/a Tommy Chong.

"Fiction seems mild compared to what I have been exposed to, experienced, and witnessed," Knight proclaims about living in the celebrity-obsessed culture.

Cheech & Chong on WWE RAW=Pathetic

2010-03-02T19:45:00.000-08:00

I'm a huge Cheech & Chong fan, but their appearance on WWE RAW was pathetic. No one under 40 cares about them and the stupid stoner cereal-eating bit was stupid. It makes you embarrassed to be a Cheech & Chong fan.

Here are some random clips with Cheech wearing a ridiculously fake moustache.

This was career suicide.

And watch this.

Cheech & Chong to be in Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil

2010-02-19T16:40:00.000-08:00

Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong and a host of other celebrities are providing voices for Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil.

Hood vs. Evil will find a teen such as Red Riding Hood who will be training in a distant land with a mysterious, covert group called the Sister Hoods. When Red and the Wolf get called upon by Nick Flippers the head of the Happily Ever After Agency over to investigate the disappearance of Hansel and Gretel.

Cheech Marin is Mad Hog and Tommy Chong is Stone of The Three Little Hench Pigs.

This Weinstein Company film will be released in 2010. According to wikipedia, "Burger King released Kid's Meal toys based on the film in early January 2010, even though the film had no release date. Apparently The Weinstein Company sold the promotional rights to Burger King promising a January release date and Burger King went through with the promotion even though the film was no longer being released in January 2010. No matter what the reason it is clear the Burger King promotion will not benefit the theatrical release since it will be long over before the film is released, should it see a theatrical release and not go direct-to-DVD like so many other Weinstein Company films due to their financial problems."

Update: Tommy Chong to Appear at First Annual Cannapalooza

2010-01-28T16:00:00.000-08:00

Update: Cannapalooza has been cancelled.
Official statement...
"We regret to inform all of our fans who were eagerly anticipating the Cannapalooza event that Mandalay Bay has decided to cancel our contract for space and therefore we will not be able to hold the event. We are incredibly disappointed and appreciate the overwhelming support for the event that we have received since first announcing our plans."

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - January 27, 2010) - March Madness takes on a whole new meaning with the first ever Cannapalooza event, debuting March 19-21, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Cannapalooza, the international marketplace for all things cannabis, will showcase the latest products and technologies that have made cannabis one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Open to the public, Cannapalooza expects to draw 50,000 attendees from across the country and around the world.

Now, more than ever cannabis is moving into the mainstream, with marijuana playing a key role in popular culture. Showtime's Weeds, pot infused musical lyrics and cover stories in national media outlets, along with heated political and medical debate have all pushed cannabis into the spotlight. The beauty and fashion industries have embraced the plant as well, with a rise in demand for natural hemp clothing and cosmetics.

The event will span 50,000 square feet of convention center space and is designed to provide an entertaining forum where everyone from industry insiders and medical marijuana users to those with a casual interest can gather to celebrate the culture. Attendees will be surrounded by every imaginable product including hand blown glassware, industrial hemp goods and more. For three days Cannapalooza will be the largest head shop on the planet.

Cannapalooza will also feature an educational symposium moderated by NORML's Russ Belville, with expert speakers and celebrity guests addressing legalization, decriminalization and medicinal benefits, while debunking marijuana myths and sharing simple home garden techniques, green agricultural technologies and more.

Legalization and reform advocacy groups including The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Americans for Safe Access (ASA), Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), and Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) will be represented at Cannapalooza. Currently fourteen states, including Nevada, allow for the medical usage of marijuana and another fourteen are weighing legislation or ballot initiatives that would legalize medical marijuana in 2010. There are strong movements pushing for the outright legalization of cannabis across the United States, including California's Tax and Regulate initiative that will be on the 2010 ballot.

Video: Cheech & Chong on Lopez Tonight

2010-01-26T17:13:00.000-08:00

Here is video of Cheech & Chong on Lopez Tonight!. The opening bit with the creepy white girl was lame. The bit was written by show so don't blame Cheech or Tommy.
The actual interview was decent. Many of the jokes you may have heard during their tour or from your grandpa's joke book. Cheech and Tommy stayed within their comfort zone by performing Mexicans Americans (which they perform at every show). They also performed a new song, Get It Legal, where Tommy basically repeats 'get it legal' over and over again.
