Megan Fox and Marijuana vs. the Physics of Frisbee

While “Transformers” star Megan Fox was talking drugs and Hollywood to reporters last week, young wannabe scientists were talking frisbee and physics at Camp Thornwood in West Virginia (-Google Map-), where the National Youth Science Camp went down. Fox said she’s been there and done that when it comes to the celebrity drug scene, and what she learned from it: she likes pot, but can do without the rest. As for the campers, they learned about the finer points of spin, the shape of the disc and its mass distribution. But no matter how much excitement a spinning disc generates inside these young geeks, it’s no match for a hot chick who works with robots. Foxy wins.

“Transformers” star and Angie Jolie look-alike Megan Fox admits to dabbling in illegal substances — and loving a little weed. In a recent interview with Maxim magazine, the lippy starlet admitted that she’s tried nearly every drug under the sun. “I’ve done drugs, and that’s how I know I don’t like them.” … Fox also discusses the white powdery stuff, and she’s not talking snow. Says Fox, “Cocaine is back with a vengeance … Celebrities aren’t trying to hide it, except when people have camera phones.”

Harry Potter vs. Boyz II Men

Harry Potter has faced many obstacles as a young wizard: monsters, Death Eaters, Dark Lords, late 80s/early 90s R&B groups… wait, maybe he hasn’t faced that last one… well, at least not until now.

The teenage wizard was showing off his stuff this week when he broke the record for the biggest Wednesday in box office history ($44.8M) with his flick, “Order of the Phoenix.” But while Potter was preparing to make his triumphant return to screens across the globe, another magical act snuck into a little town called Pleasanton, Calif. (-Google Map-). That’s right. Motownphilly was back again as Boys II Men ruled the crowd in their comeback at the Alameda County Fair. So maybe you’re impressed with Potter’s record Wednesday, but I say the young wizard’s wand is no match for the long-stemmed roses that Boys II Men carry in their arsenal. The R&B stars showed that they have really grown from boys into men as they handed out roses to the ladies while singing their hit “I’ll Make Love to You.” Sorry Harry. You defeated puberty, but you’re not quite ready for this challenge. Maybe in the next sequel.

“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” worked like magic in its U.S. box office debut, whipping up $44.8 million for the biggest Wednesday ever, according to studio estimates released on Thursday.

What if Elvis or the Beatles didn’t disappear suddenly and publicly, but rather faded away slowly and quietly? What if after several underwhelming albums, they performed at the Alameda County Fair; would you be excited?That was the scenario Sunday night, as late’80s and early’90s sensations Boyz II Men performed at the fair. In their heyday, they broke The King’s record for consecutive weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and became only the third act, after Elvis and the Beatles, to replace one chart-topper with another. But by the late’90s they had been replaced by numerous boy bands and have not had a top-40 hit since 1998.
