REVIEW: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Gives 50/50 a Fighting Chance
The world needs more cancer comedies. But it may not need more cancer comedies like 50/50. It’s not that 50/50 is insensitive or dull or unfunny — it sidesteps all those potential flaws with the delicacy of the most precise surgeon. Then again, the picture’s delicacy may be misplaced: Directed by Jonathan Levine (who, in 2008, brought us The Wackness) and written by Will Reiser, 50/50 never risks offending or shocking us as far as the cancer angle goes, but it does slot in some pretty ho-hum non-cancer-related crudeness wherever it can. When cancer-stricken Adam, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, shaves his head with electric clippers belonging to his best friend, Kyle (Seth Rogen), you don’t have to guess where those clippers have been — the movie tells you.
But where 50/50 does succeed is in showing cancer — or illness in general — as a part of life, instead of just treating it as a device to set the dramatic weight swinging. The picture could be so much better than it is, and yet it’s also the kind of movie that makes you want to grade on the curve, adding extra points for good intentions. Adam and Kyle are pals who work in radio, the sort of gig that might have seemed like a dream job even 20 years ago, but now may as well be work performed by dinosaurs (and I say that ruefully). There’s no great buildup to Adam’s diagnosis, no overwrought, underlit “I found a lump!” preamble. His doctor delivers the diagnosis in a stream of jargon; it…

Early estimates of Fukushima's toll
The nuclear accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi power plant earlier this year released one-tenth the amount of radioactivity as the 1986's Chernobyl disaster. Based on these statistics, about 1,000 extra cancer-related deaths can be expected from the accident, says a U.S. scientist.

Tyrese -- Banned from the Airwaves in Delaware
Filed under: Tyrese Gibson, Music, Exclusive, Celebrity Justice
You won't be hearing any Tyrese songs on the radio in Delaware in the near future ... because the singer's music has been banned from the biggest hip hop station in the state.
TMZ spoke with Tony Quartarone -- the station owner at KISS 101.7 -- who tells us he's not upset with Tyrese because he took a stand against liquor stores ... instead, he claims the problem was the way the singer addressed his listeners.
Quartarone says, "Tyrese was not kicked off the air for pointing out that liquor stores should not be located near schools ... I totally agree with that. But ... he proceeded to downgrade my audience by calling them 'homies.'"
Quartarone says he felt the language was condescending -- and that's why he asked Tyrese to leave the building Monday morning. After Tyrese tweeted about the incident, Quartarone says he decided to ban Ty's music until he gets an apology.
He probably won't get one -- Tyrese called in to "TMZ Live" yesterday and told us he simply didn't care if the station takes his music out of rotation.

Kathy Jorrie -- AEG Attorney TestifiesUpdated 9/28/11 at 9:15 AM
AEG attorney Kathy Jorrie took the stand this morning -- describing the contract she drafted between AEG, Dr. Murray, and Michael Jackson.
According to Jorrie, Murray had a laundry list of demands -- including $150,000 a month, even while "This Is It" was on hiatus.
Jorrie testified, Murray also demanded a CPR machine for MJ while he performed in London.
Jorrie claimed, when she asked Murray why he would need a CPR machine... Murray responded, he didn't want to take chances with MJ's age and the strenuous nature of the show.
* Jorrie says she spoke to Murray on June 24th. Murray told her he had seen Michael perform and that he was in "perfect health." This was a day before he died.
* She also said the contract was never signed by all parties, and no payment was ever made to Murray by AEG.

Did particles break the speed of light?
In breaking news, physicists reported Thursday that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos can travel faster than light, a finding that - if verified - would blast a hole in Einstein's theory of relativity.
