I was extremely happy when I just read over at CTU that Channing Tatum will be taking on the roll as Duke in the GI Joe movie. This excites me because first of all I’m a huge Channing Tatum fan. That boy just looks yummy no matter what he’s doing and secondly because I spent more time playing with my GI Joe dolls as a child than I did playing with Barbie dolls.

Actually the only time I pulled out my Barbie’s was when I wanted one of my GI Joe’s to get married. I had the Barbie dream house, but I convinced my dad to let me paint some of the rooms to look like barracks. I had everything set up totally Army style. What can I say? I was never very girlie, and even though I had my moments as a teenager when I wanted to dress up in the cutest dress and heels I never really grew out of my tomboy phase.

Anyway, back to the movie. It looks like GI Joe will start filming in LA on February 13th, and it’s set to release in theaters on August 7, 2009. I seriously can’t wait!

Have you ever wanted to tell the world how you felt about something, but you were afraid to because you felt like the topic was controversial? That’s what Dishin’ It Out is all about. This is my little place to tell you exactly how I feel about whatever I want.

What’s the first topic?

Poor Heath Ledger and his family.

Yes. Heath Ledger passed away over a week ago, and yes it’s tragic. Many people are mourning the loss of such a great actor at such an early age, but know one knows the truth about his death at this point. When do we step back and say it doesn’t matter how he died? It’s horrible that he lost his life at such an early age, and it doesn’t matter what caused the loss. Let his family mourn his death in peace. Keep the cameras out of their face, stop running numerous stories about his death every hour on the news stations and gossip type entertainment shows. Just let them live and mourn in peace.

I just want to ask the reporters and paparrazi one question. How would you feel if that was your son, father, brother, or lover, and we all shoved a camera in your face every minute of the day while you tried to mourn?

Back off already!
