Advertiser entertainment columnist Wayne “Grumpy” Harada offers this tidbit in his column:
>Greg Poirier’s “Kamehameha” script, the Hollywood production that likely will star The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson), has been retitled “Battle for Paradise.”
Poirier is best known for his previous works Gossip and Tomcats.
The film Tomcats is best known for the scene in which an unsuspecting person victim eats a human testicle. Did we mention Tomcats is a comedy?
Personally we can’t wait for the scene in Battle for Paradise where King Kamehameha cuts the cheese at the luau then tries to blame it on the kahuna.
What is the Hawaiian word for fart anyway?

As if that wasn’t bad enough, we had heard that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was out of the running to play the lead. Why? Because he was part Samoan, not Hawaiian. The whiners said that it would be sacrilege to have a Samoan play a Hawaiian.
At least he’s Polynesian! Remember back in the day when a white guy played Charlie Chan? Yeah, they even pulled his eyes back. Now that’s sacrilege.
The rumor we heard is that The Rock will be tapped to play the bad guy. And the new front runner? Keanu Reeves.
“Dude, like, I totally united the islands. Whoa.”
Get ready for The Scorpion King Kamehameha.

Keenu Reeves is such a babe. I feel tingly at the mere thought of him tanned, buffed & shirtless…. or in a MALO maybe?
I’m dizzy just thinking about it!
