For those regulars here at Glosslip, we do a daily radio show on BlogTalkRadio’s BTR Today hosted by Shaun Daily. Well today, while Shaun is busy meeting Democratic Presidential Nominee BARACK OBAMA (yeah, that’s right our potential future PREZ) Eric Olsen founder and publisher of Blogcritics.org and Dawn Olsen of Glosslip will be taking over Shaun’s show and do we have an amazing line-up of guests.

First up, young actor Nate Hartley of the hilarious Owen Wilson film Drillbit Taylor. Nate, who was brilliant as the awkward and skinny teen Wade, starred along side Wilson, and fellow teen actor Troy Gentile and Josh Peck (”Drake and Josh,” Nickelodeon) in a comedy reminiscent of the 80’s classic “My Bodyguard.” The film centers around three nerdy boys entering their first year of high school where they are immediately singled out by the school bully Filkins (Alex Frost, who is more than a little creepy in this role) and Ronnie, his side-kick played by the great Josh Peck (we love “Drake and Josh” in our house) and are viciously harassed. The boys, joined by an even geekier kid, Emmet (David Dorfman) decide to hire a bodyguard. Due to financial constraints, they end up hiring “Drillbit Taylor” played by Owen Wilson, an AWOL Army guy who also happens to be homeless. Hilarity ensues.

The film’s release was unfortunately around the time of Owen’s suicide drama and didn’t get nearly the recognition it deserved. We watched it last night and it really is very funny, and Nate, who is definitely the co-star of the film is a up and coming talent, as Hollywood seems to be doing more of these teen-oriented films. Nate’s official website here, and his YouTube page with his video projects. Check it out.

Our second guest, straight off her fabulous performance at Bonnaroo, is Serena Ryder the Canadian songstress whose folk meet rock sound is both timeless and catchy. We will be featuring a couple of Serena’s songs off her latest album, Told You In A Whispered Song. Serena reminds me of a cross between Amy Winehouse and Joni Mitchell. She has the throaty warble of Winehouse (minus the emphysema wheeze) and the story-telling skills of Mitchell. Better keep your eye on Ms. Ryder, she’s destined for great things. Serena’s MySpace page.

And finally, our third guest is actor, director and screenwriter Mitch Rouse, creator of Strangers With Candy and of the dark comedy film “Employee Of The Month” starring Matt Dillon and has appeared on the awesome Reno 911!. Mitch’s new project, Factory premiering on Spike TV on June 29th at 10:00pm, is a comedy about four small-town guys, who drink beer and dream big. Below is a trailer for the show.

FactorySeason 1 - Premiere Episode - The Story

Glosslip Radio is excited to announce a special segment of our BlogTalkRadio show tonight at 8:00pm EDT. Dawn Olsen will be co-hosting with Blogcritics.org publisher Eric Olsen when we speak with actor Corey Feldman.

Glosslip has done some 80’s related posts, as I am a HUGE fan all things 80’s, that goes for films from that era, and let’s face it, Corey Feldman has added his comedic flare to the some of the greatest films of that era including, Goonies, Stand By Me, and iconic Lost Boys, which teamed he and the other Corey from the 80’s Corey Haim up for the first time.

Now that dynamic duo have come together again for a new season of the A&E show, “The Two Coreys”, which chronicles the single and out-of-work Corey Haim moving in with his now married and with child best friend, Corey Feldman. While the show is a fictionalized version of their real lives, as with all things, some reality spills over into the show. The second season premiere airs this Sunday, June 22 at 10:00pm EDT on A&E. Click here for details.

Corey will be discussing his new life with wife Susie (whom he met while he was filming the VH1’s The Surreal Life in 2002 and were married on the show’s season finale by MC Hammer, and ordained minister. Huh?) and their son Zen. Corey and his wife are vegans and spokespeople for PETA. They are actively involved with environmental and animal rights causes!

Totally gnarly!!

What a great day, I get to mention Amy, crack AND vagina in the same sentence. Actually, if you think about it, can you even mention Amy WITHOUT mentioning crack? Not lately.

Last week, stories emerged stating Amy Winehouse was offered $2 million dollars to perform at a private concert for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Why? Because when you have billions of dollars, sometimes it’s fun to gamble with it, and these days, expecting perpetual crackhead Amy Winehouse to show up on time and perform anything other than a circus act with three rings, is some serious odds NOT in your favor.

Rush and Malloy have the scoopage:

Winehouse took the bait [$2 mill]. She can use the cash, according to British reports, which claim she’s been paying veteran inmates at a British jail to look after her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, while he awaits his assault trial.)

Tattooed Amy managed to get on a plane in London. But, a source tells us, when she arrived in Moscow “she was in no condition to appear.”

Word is party organizers talked about finding a replacement to sing, but felt there wasn’t enough time.

Winehouse was due to take the stage at 10:30 p.m. at The Garage, the gallery of Abramovich’s 25-year-old love interest, Dasha Zhukova. The singer’s handlers “spent two hours trying to pull her together,” says the insider.

Around 12:30 a.m., Winehouse finally appeared, wobbling onto the stage down a red carpet lined with red lights, which guided her like a damaged aircraft down a runway.

Between restorative sips of Coke, Winehouse puffed on cigarettes, flung her lighter into the audience and tugged on her little dress, revealing to stageside fans that she wasn’t wearing underwear.

“I heard that her singing was a little sloppy,” says the source, who caught up with the gallery crowd later at The Most, the hot Moscow club where the after-party was held. “But she still put on a terrific show.”

If someone wanted to pay me $2 million to show up, caterwaul for a hour or so and flash my vagina, count me in. Except the vagina part, the caterwauling though, that’s a given. I can’t imagine, given Amy’s recent history of poor performances, Mr. Abramovich was expecting a genuine performance from Winehouse.

Also, just a side note, did she really have to go commando? If her weave and face look that messy and untidy, can you imagine what the parts we DON’T see look like?

*shudders*

Eric Olsen of Blogcritics and Dawn Olsen of Glosslip.com will be interviewing Lyndsy Fonseca whose recent film Remember The Daze was just released on DVD and is a regular on many popular TV shows such as Desperate Housewives and has also co-starred in How I Met Your Mother, The Young and the Restless and Boston Legal, Big Love, CSI, Boston Public to name a few.

At the tender age of 21, Lyndsy’s acting resume is impressive (to see her full IMDB profile, click here) and we look forward to speaking with her about successfully crossing over from the small screen to the big screen, and how to avoid the trappings of Hollywood fame which plague so of today’s young and talented stars.

Glosslip Radio, in its continued coverage of the internet anti-Scientology movement fronted by activist group Anonymous, is proud to announce another great radio show. Tomorrow evening’s show, at a special day and time, Thursday May 29th, 9:00pm EDT, will feature Maureen Bolstad. Maureen, an 18-year veteran of the Church of Scientology’s most devout sect, the Sea Organization, will be joining us to discuss her heartbreaking story of disconnection from her family, including her twin sister, and her harrowing experience of escaping the Hemet, California SO site called Gold (Int) Base.

Maureen and I met recently at a gathering of many ex-Scientologists while I was visiting Los Angeles with my family a couple weeks ago. During this visit, I spoke with many ex-Scientologists, and they all had compelling stories to tell of their time in the cult, but Maureen’s was especially fascinating and sad. I look forward to being able to give her an opportunity to share her story with our listeners and we hope you can tune for tomorrow’s special show. Below is Maureen’s photo and bio.

I was born and spent my childhood in Santa Clara County; lived there until I was 16. I became involved with Scientology through a friend of my mother when I was 14. I was tricked into joining the Sea Organization along, with my little brother and, later, my twin sister. I was in the SO for 18 years. I spent 17 of those years out in Hemet at the Int base. I left staff in 2000. I tried to remain a public Scientologist for 5 years, but it didn’t work out. I left Scientology in 2005.

I was officially labeled a Suppressive Person by the CoS in Los Angeles in 2006. I’m currently going to college, but I’m self employed too. I do video dp work, photography projects and office admin and bookeeping. My brother and I are on good terms, but my twin sister is still involved in Scientology and she has stopped speaking to myself and most of our family.

Glosslip Radio, who gets the BEST guests in the world, is excited to announce we will be speaking to former Guardian Office member of the Church of Scientology, Larry Brennan. Larry’s depth of knowledge as it pertains to key moments within the Church’s hand over of power from founder L. Ron Hubbard to current leader David Miscavige, is instrumental in understanding how Scientology has become the corrupt organization is now is today. After the jump you can read a bio of Larry’s tenure in the upper echelons of the Church of Scientology and we are thrilled to be speaking with him and gaining an even deeper understanding of the secretive world of this corporation.

But wait, there’s more…

Glosslip.com is thrilled to announce a special radio segment on our BlogTalkRadio show, Glosslip Radio. This Monday we will be interviewing Astra Woodcraft, ex-Scientologist and child Sea Org member and her father Lawrence Woodcraft, an architect, ex-Scientologist and former Sea Org member. Recently, Astra and her father were profiled on ABC’s Nightline interview with Jenna Miscavige, niece of CoS leader, David Miscavige. Astra, Jenna and another ex-Scientologist, Kendra Wiseman started a website called Exscientologykids.com.

Also significant is Lawrence Woodcraft’s detailed history on the CoS cruise ship, the Freewinds. Just yesterday we reported the ship has been permanently sealed due to a massive asbestos leak discovered during renovation. Mr. Woodcraft reported the “blue asbestos” problem years ago, but the Church of Scientology has worked hard to cover up the problems until the recent news leak our of the Caribbean, where the ship is dry-docked.

But wait, there’s more…

As we mentioned yesterday, Glosslip Radio hit the jackpot with two wonderful guests, Mark Bunker publisher of XenuTv.com, an extremely popular information site focused on the abuses of the Church of Scientology, and Jeff Hawkins, a 35-year veteran of the Church of Scientology. Tonight’s line up will feature Jeff from 9:30 to 10:15, and Mark from 10:15 until 11:00. Due to the volume of weird calls Glosslip Radio’s been getting during these Scientology related shows, we will be fielding questions via the chatroom.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO TONIGHT’S SHOW.

I encourage anyone interested in finding out what’s going on with the current saga of Mark Bunker’s YouTube account suspension and the release of the Jason Beghe video to tune in. Be sure to tune in at the earlier time to hear from Jeff Hawkins, as he details his experiences from inside the Church of Scientology, including working with RTC President and figurehead, David Miscavige. Jeff personally witnessed Miscavige beating senior org members, including his own run-ins. Hawkins has harrowing tales to tell from inside. This really will be a great show. Read bios on both men below:

Jeff Hawkins worked for the Church of Scientology for 35 years. He worked all over the world - Edinburgh, Copenhagen, North Africa, the Caribbean, and in Clearwater, Florida. In the 1980’s, he ran a national marketing campaign for the book Dianetics. Most recently he spent 15 years at Scientology’s international base in San Jacinto, California, working with top Scientology executives. He left Scientology in 2005, and currently works as a freelance graphic designer. Jeff’s website. Audio clip of Jeff giving interview from Lermanet.com

Mark Bunker is an Emmy award winning journalist who started the popular Xenu TV website in 1999. Xenutv.com is said to get one million hits per month. As one of the most high-profile critics of the Church of Scientology, Bunker has been following the organization since 1999, when he moved to the Church’s base in Clearwater, Florida to produce videos for the Lisa McPherson trust.

In 2008, Bunker posted a video to YouTube critical of the Internet-based group “Anonymous” and asked them to tone down their campaign against the Church of Scientology; a movement called “Project Chanology”. In the video “Message to Anonymous”, Bunker urged the group to work legally and pursue peaceful ways to protest Scientology.

From Wikipedia:

According to NPR’s Morning Edition, Bunker has “become a revered voice to many members of Anonymous”, and they refer to him as “Wise Beard Man”. Anonymous has adopted a slogan referring to Bunker: “Wise Beard Man is Wise. His words are wise, his face is beard.”

When actor Jason Beghe decided to leave Scientology in 2008, he contacted Andreas Heldal-Lund, founder of Operation Clambake, who convinced him to meet with Bunker. Heldal-Lund and Bunker went to Beghe’s house, where Beghe participated in an interview about his experiences as a Scientologist. Bunker published a 3-minute portion of the 3-hour interview to YouTube in mid-April 2008 and in the video Beghe calls Scientology “very dangerous for your spiritual, psychological, mental, emotional health and evolution”
