Cheech Marin, Rich Guy that Buys Hispanic Art, Wins ALMA Outstanding Career Achievement Award

Alleged wife beater, Cheech Marin, received the Outstanding Career Achievement award this past weekend at the ALMA Awards. Cheech is a regular at this award show so I guess they figured they'd reward him.  He's a regular because he likes going to the gifting tent before the show and also gets a nice gift basket for showing up.  This is also why he does all the charity golf tournaments.

What has Cheech done to deserve this award?  Nash Bridges?  Golden Girls' Golden Palace?
Nothing really, he's just a millionaire that spends his money on Hispanic art for his mansions.  He then gets Target to sponsor an art tour.  All his art becomes an IRS write-off and he gets paid by Target.  Maybe he should win this award for this smart business dealing.

The ALMA Awards, which is hosted by George Lopez and Eva Longoria, airs on NBC this Friday.  ABC used to air it, but the ratings were so bad, they dumped it.

Cheech and Chong Flip Skateboard Review...Not so Good

BlackDeadNighmare posted his review of the Cheech and Chong skateboard from Flip.  He says the board wore down really fast.  The kevlar on top ripped after the second use.  You can barely see the Cheech and Chong graphic on the bottom anymore.

"They asked me throw out the first pitch, and they paid enough money so here I am," Cheech said. "I'm a collector, but I also love baseball."

Cheech was wearing a vintage 1980s-era rainbow Astros jersey.

"It [Houston] has the best combination of good-looking girls and barbecue in the world," he said.

Tommy Chong Confirms that Hemp Oil is Not Helping his Prostate Cancer

In Potcast #3, Tommy Chong has announced that treating his prostate cancer with hemp oil is not helping.

From the Weedmaster....
No duh!  Keep in mind that a few years ago Tommy told me he was going to one of those trendy California clinics to have oxygen or something injected into him.

Today's podcast is a painful, whopping 42 mins long.  Besides health tips from a crazy man, he plays what sounds like the soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire.

He says now he's going to try ultrasound to treat it.

Chong's, 74 now, is like a mad scientist.  I think the state needs to appoint him a nurse or a guardian.

Tommy Chong Announces The Art of Cheech and Chong Traveling Art Show


During his Potcast, Tommy Chong announced that he and Cheech are going to have a traveling art show, The Art of Cheech and Chong, soon.

Cheech will have his Chicano art, Chong will have his art which will include his bong collection.

In addition, there will be videos of their movies, outtakes that no one has ever seen before, a low rider car, possibly the Big Green Van from Up in Smoke.

Note from the Weedmaster:
1. Tommy has spoken of having a bong museum before.  Years ago, he even went so far as to lease a place for the museum (which seriously pissed off his wife, Shelby).
2. I seriously doubt there are any more outtakes from their movies.  Otherwise, they would have been on the DVDs.
3. I'm friends with the owner of the Big Green Van from Up in Smoke.  Cheech and Chong haven't even contacted them.

In conclusion, I think this is another idea that Tommy has which will never happen...just like his museum, Up in Smoke 2, Best Buds movie, etc etc.  I doubt he even spoke to Cheech about it.

Reminds me of the old days when he'd start selling a Tommy Chong comedy CD that wasn't even done yet and then kept buyers waiting for one year because he couldn't decide what artwork to use on the cover.

We will keep you updated.

Car Crashes into the House from Cheech and Chong's Next Movie

In Cheech and Chong's Next Movie, Pedro and Man drive their van onto the front lawn of a house and then crash through the fence when leaving (remember Hey Bendejos!?).

TMZ reports that now, thirty years later, a Chevy HHR drove through the same exact fence.

And...the owner of the house didn't even realize he was living in the house where the movie was filmed.
