Rebecca Black is a millionaire. She has more money than we will likely see in our lives (assuming none of you are millionaires).

Oh, and my wife just told me that they used her song on Glee.

Really? I read that she hadn't yet seen a dime of the proceeds from the song. Are you guessing, or are you sure. I believe that the label holds the distribution rights (and therefore gets the money generated from the release).

As far as I know, she gets paid good royalties once the video gets played more than X times ( I can't remember the number, 750,000 or something). It's been viewed now something like 150 MILLION times now. She's gotten a fair cut of $$ out of that IIRC.

I thought I read somewhere that it's something like $27K a month she's making off of youtube views. Apparently, a turd can be polished and marketed. I weep for society.

Ya, I looked around a bit. I think it was just initially that they weren't seeing any coin. Seems that it's paying off now. Ugh.

Someone watch this so we can all laugh!

I watched it, but there isn't really anything in the trailer. I'll watch it when it comes out though. I like Jason Segel. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was hilarious and he co-scripted the Muppet movie.

I laughed at the Hangover spoof. I love that they spoof R rated movies - and they always have.

It'll be worth watching for sure.

I heard so much about Forgetting Sarah Marshall that when it finally came on whatever that movie station that's included with Rogers VIP (562 in Ottawa) I recorded it (a few months earlier I went to rent it a the BlockBuster and it was out). To tell you the truth, I was quite disappointed. I guess I set myself up, but it was certainly not as funny (to me) as There's Something About Mary, or the first Meet the Parents.
