Cocozza's lofty expectations and Neeson vs wolves

Becks must be THRILLED
Frankie Cocozza - what an up and down relationship we've had (by we, I mean the general public, I haven't had an affair with him). First he charmed us with his cheeky bum stories, then he disappointed us with his off-screen antics, and then he charmed us again on Celebrity Big Brother. But today's news that he aims to be 'the Hugh Hefner of Essex' just downright amuses me. Plotting his path to playboy more specifically, he is going to target Jennifer Aniston as his first celebrity conquest (Made in Chelsea stars DO NOT count). 42 year old and apparently pregnant Jennifer Aniston. Good luck Frankie...



James Tully from the Odeon popped in for the film forum with LOADS of movie sequel news. Looks like a new X men, Mission Impossible, Rio and Hangover film are inevitable, with the latter promising to take the franchise in a "new direction". Because frankly grown men getting THAT coma-inducingly drunk twice was pushing it, let alone three times. New movies out this week include worst-titled film in a long while (Man on a Ledge) and the brilliant-looking Chronicle which comes out tomorrow.

Earlier this morning on the Breakfast Show I gave my verdict on Liam Neeson's new survival thriller The Grey. A film that promised to answer the question of who would win if Liam Neeson took on wolves. A question that this baffling film FAILS to answer, despite some top notch acting from the man himself.


I would compare the film to this scenario: Imagine, if you will, that England are in the World Cup Final (imagine really really hard) and they're playing Germany. It's gone to penalties (what else) after 120 minutes of an emotional rollercoaster, and with 3 each on the board, Wayne Rooney steps up to take the kick. JUST as he's about to strike the ball, the TV cuts out, and never comes back on. EVER.

That is the ending of The Grey, a film that promised so much, and failed to deliver...

Also on today's show we informed you that you could very soon have the chance to buy your very own share of facebook. Mark Zuckerberg looks to pocket around $16billion by taking it public, and I'd say it's a pretty safe investment.

Some random facebook facts:
  • The average person has 130 friends on facebook (the rest are 'acquaintances', let's be honest)
  • 1 in 13 people on earth use facebook (remember the Third World people...)
  • Australian's are the most avid users, spending 7 hours a day on facebook. Do they do ANYTHING other than surf, drink and facebook?
  • The meaning of 'poke' has never been defined... but we all really know what it means...
