What the hell is ‘Cheetah Girls: Passport to Stardom’?.  I’m sure anyone reading this article will probably wonder the same thing.  Don’t worry.  I asked myself the exact same thing when I heard about the new Nintendo DS game hitting shelves tomorrow.  I assumed it had something to do with singing, dancing and fashion accessories and was somehow right.  

The game will include various songs from the Cheetah Girls movies.  Of course I’ve never watched any of them, so really can only go on what I was able to dig up with my Google-fu skills.  According to Wikipedia, the game will include the following features:

Play as Aqua, Chanel, and Dorinda as they dazzle fans worldwide with their music and dance coreography.

Explore 9 different locations as you perform in three international cities- New York, Barcelona and Mumbai!

Use your Nintendo DS stylus to compete in a series of dance-offs to 10 Cheetah Girls hit songs!

Includes new music from The Cheetah Girls: One World Disney Channel Original Movie.

Includes DGamer- the new online community exclusively for Disney gamers.

Unfortunately there really aren’t any other games of note coming out this weekend.  It’s been a rather slow week in games anyway.  The only game of note coming out in the near future is Madden 09 on Tuesday.

[Editor's Note: Walking down the aisles of your favorite retailer you'll see movies that you've never heard of. Even if you'd like to know how they fare no one cares enough to review them! That's where "Movie Watch" comes in...oh, and we'll try to cover movies on Xbox Live from time to time. Because if you're gonna spend those confusing Microsoft points on something other than games, it better be worth it, right?]

“Raising Jeffrey Dahmer” premiered at the Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee in 2006. Two years later and instead of a wide release it received the straight-to-DVD treatment; understandably so.

It’s not surprising that Player X and Paramount just launched the game ‘The Love Guru’ for mobile phones. They are making the game available through more than 140 carriers, making it accessible to over 2.3 billion people. We don’t know a lot about the game here, but we do know that the title is made up of 6 mini-games where you try to beat various mental challenges to achieve total enlightenment. As an interesting side note, we do know Jessica Alba is a gamer, so I’d definitely like to get her thoughts on the game. We sent her an email, so will see if we ever get a response…

“We’re delighted to be working with Paramount Digital Entertainment on The Love Guru. A Mike Myers’ movie is a big event and we have worked very closely with Paramount Pictures to ensure the game matches the quality, humour and originality of the movie,” said Tony Pearce, Player X CEO.

For all you anime fans out there, there’s a little manga that became an anime, which has now evolved into a 3-part live action film. If you’re hard-core, you probably already know what I’m talking about.  You guessed it right, Death Note. For those that do not know, the story revolved on Light, a college student who finds a notebook lying on the ground coined “Death Note”.  He “reluctantly” picks it up and that is when havoc ensues…

He basically can write anyone’s name down in the book with his or her face in mind and kill him or her off with the jot of a pen.   Later on it becomes a whole moral issue on who he kills, why and a very entertaining cat and mouse game. Think of CSI and Law & Order multiplied by a thousand. It is one of the most exciting intellectual dramas I have encountered and I implore you to check it out!

I just discovered one of the funniest videos I have ever seen.  In the video, several British dudes attempt to travel through Alabama without getting shot or arrested.  The catch is that they also try to bring as much attention to themselves as possible.  With things like “NASCAR Sucks”, “Hillary For President” and “Man Love Rules” written on the side of their vehicles, I’m shocked they actually made it out alive.  The video does end in a sad note when they finally escape their Alabama adventure and end up in New Orleans.  They made a comment about how they thought the richest country in the world should have been able to rebuild the areas there and help the people of New Orleans with all the time that has passed.  But this is America and people have to realize we have long term memory loss.

With the news presented of Apple’s iPhone 3G at an Apple technical conference in San Francisco on Monday, many sources noticed Steve Jobs’s health as well. “Concern over APPLE Steve Jobs’s physical appearance…” read a headline on the Drudge Report, which linked, without further comment, to photos showing the Apple CEO on stage at the Apple conference.

In response to a question about his health Tuesday, an Apple spokeswoman said Jobs was hit with a “common bug” in recent weeks but he still felt it was important to participate in the Apple conference. The spokeswoman said he’s now on the mend with the aid of antibiotics.

Jobs’s health is occasionally the topic of chatter because he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer four years ago, for which he underwent surgery that Apple said was successful. (Apple didn’t disclose that Jobs had been ill until after he was on the mend.) Mr. Jobs is also widely considered nearly irreplaceable at Apple, where he has been the architect of a dramatic resurgence in the company’s fortunes over the past decade. Fortunately for Apple, no replacement is needed.
