Midnight Sun (5th Twilight Book) Done ??!?

January 30, 2009 By 104 Comments

As in over…never gonna happen. After fans have seen “Twilight” and read all 4 of the books in the vampire series, they are clearly hungry for more. While Stephenie Meyers, author of this phenomenon, was in the process of writing a 5th addition to the books a leak of the unfinished manuscript put a screeching halt to “Midnight Sun.” The project was basically a retelling “Twilight” but from Edward Cullen’s point of view.

Rumors that she was still going to go on with the project now conflict allegations that the project is forever done.

According to LA Times:

“Are avid “Twilight” fans killing the next book? Stephenie Meyer is reportedly so upset about the online leak of her work on “Midnight Sun” that she hasn’t written another word and she’s not gonna. Ever.

She’s working on another novel that is not written from Edward Cullen’s point of view, like “Sun” is.”

Read into that statement what you will. Other reports confirm that she is working on several different manuscripts which are non-Cullen-vampire related. A rep for the writer confirmed via NY Daily:

“Nothing’s changed,” a rep for the author confirms to us. “Stephenie has no plans to move forward with ‘Midnight Sun’ at this time.”

The author herself explains on her site that she is beyond upset and has had the desire to touch the project since the leak that happened in August 2008.

Per Stephenie Meyers:

“So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn’t like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn’t dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.”

So there. See what happens we are greedy and impatient. It’s like being put in the naughty chair for time out.

Top Chef Contest Feels Used for His Body

January 30, 2009 By 1 Comment

I am “Top Chef” junkie. Food and tv is a stellar combination.

Last night Jeff McInnes was FINALLY sent home. He works at some restaurant named after a lady self gratification device, DiLido Beach Club. After finally get his boring self kicked off the show (ho please, you are no Carla) he whined to People that the show used him as some kind of “sex object.”

People Via MSNBC:

“Q: How do you think you’ll be remembered on the show? What impression did you leave?

A: I think the show used me as some kind of sex object. Every single show that I’ve ever seen, they have me with my shirt off in the beginning — which is kind of strange. I don’t run around the house naked half the time like they portrayed me. It seems like a camera was always following me around trying to find me whenever I’m taking my clothes off to change in the morning or at night. So, to be used like that is always fun.”

WHAT? If he did strut around in a state of undress I didn’t notice. He is about as appealing as soggy broccoli. So here is another open letter…

Dear Soggy Piece of Broccoli,

You are not that hot.

Love,

Hollywood Dame

Dear Jessica Simpson…

January 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Two things honey:

1. Brown mixed with black is over.
2. FIRE YOUR STYLIST!

Love,

Hollywood Dame

P.S. – When one has hobbit feet, one should ALWAYS wear shoes of some kind.

While I stand by the fact I still don’t think Simpson is “fat” by any means, I will send some tough love her way when I say that these pants make her thighs look like that of a baby elephant. This will be the second round of Jessica Simpson’s weight gain rumors. Sure, she packed on a few pounds living it up in ribs country with Tony Romo.

It’s happens. Stop bucking for a spot on the “Real Housewives of BBQ City” and get your shiz on the one of those torture device looking things at a gym if you plan on stuffing yourself into leather pants. The real issue here should be the fact that someone is telling her she looks ok in these getups.

Amy Winehouse Robbed

January 30, 2009 By 1 Comment

International hot mess, Amy Winehouse has been robbed. While Amy continues to relax away in St. Lucia on a two month holiday, her London apartment was robbed and ransacked by thieves yesterday.

According to reports, the burglars made off with over $21,000.00 in stuff. Who knew crack-pipes and cans of Aqua Net were so expensive?

Via Yahoo News:

“According to police, the burglars, believed to be two men, gained entry into the home by kicking in the padlock on Winehouse’s door. Some of the items have already been recovered after being found dumped on the street, and the investigation is ongoing.”

Are the police really sure Amy didn’t leave the door open and the items in the street herself?

Winehouse’s rep revealed that, while Amy is upset about the loss, she is relieved her favorite guitar is with her in St. Lucia. I am sure the guests at the resort where Amy is staying are just as relieved she brought her guitar with her. Amy was more than likely too drunk or playing Scrabble topless to be reached for comment.

I don’t know about you, but I will be keeping my eye on eBay for slightly used ballet slippers, mesh shirts, and teasing combs.

Harry Potter Curse Strikes Again!

January 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

After year’s of trouble for the cast and crew of the Harry Potter movies, another even occurred on the set of the “Deathly Hallows: Part 1“: Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double fell while rehearsing, due to an explosion on-set.

Via Comingsoon.net:

The 25-year-old was rehearsing a flying sequence using a harness when he was sent plummeting by the blast, which was part of the stunt. He was conscious after smashing to the ground but told horrified colleagues: “I can’t feel my legs.”

“He told crew members who went to help him he couldn’t feel anything from the waist down. Everyone is just hoping he makes a good recovery. It has come as a terrible shock,” said a source.

After this, I would seriously reconsider being part of the magical world of Harry Potter, considering what has happened to others who have worked with the movie. Let’s look at the evidence: In May 2008 Rob Knox was stabbed to death in Sidcup. He plays the role of Marcus Belby in the “Half Blood Prince”. As well in March 2008, Daniel Radcliffe had to have 4 bodyguards with him because a stalker sent him death threats. Charming. And then on October 2002 the original Dumbledore, Richard Harris, died from cancer.

As if that were not enough, 2008 also marked issues on-set for the “Half Blood Prince”, which eventually lead to filming being halted altogether. Apparently in Farnham, Surrey the set was battered by storms, streakers (!) and so many special-effects issues that filming was actually stopped.

I find all of this rather creepy. Isn’t it only supposed to movies like “The Omen” and “Polergeist” that have curses? Why my beloved Harry Potter??

The Dame – The man injured is said to be David Holmes. His family issued this statement today:

We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We are trusting in the expertise of the medical staff who are caring for David and would ask the media to please respect the privacy of our family while we concentrate on helping each other through this difficult time.

Currently his scans are being looked at back doctors. Our hopes here at Hollywood Dame are for a full and speedy recovery.

Robert Pattinson, Justin Timberlake and Zac Efron Join Forces for New Movie

January 30, 2009 By 4 Comments

Queue sound of tweens everywhere screaming and crying for Robert Pattinson, Justin Timberlake and Zac Efron to sound their underwear. Rumors that the Hollywood Heartthrob Trio are making a movie together have surfaced.

The film in question is called “Ohio.” The plot is based on the 1970 tragedy in which anti-Vietnam War protesters at Kent State University were killed. The lead role was said to be offered to Sparklepants while Timberlake and pretty, pretty princess Zac Efron will be the supporting characters.

Per Star Magazine Via Hollyscoop:

“Everyone in the industry is shocked that Rob is already getting such big roles. Zac and Justin have been working for a lot longer than he has. There is a bit of jealousy there. Zac’s people want him to have the lead. And Justin’s people have asked that he get a lot of screen time.”

I am really interested in seeing this film, but I won’t be able to take it seriously with Zac in their constantly asking if his hair looks ok while Justin Timberlake prances around.

Taylor Swift is now a Fearless Fashion Designer

January 30, 2009 By 1 Comment

19-year-old country music sensation, Taylor Swift, will be adding another career to her resume – fashion designer.

According to Jones Apparel Group, the singer whos album “Fearless” has topped the charts for the last seven weeks and includes the hit single “Love Story,” has inked a deal to distribute a line of apparel including sundresses through Walmart’s L.E.I. brand. Executives say Swift’s new clothing line will be led by a one-season collection of colorful spring dresses called L.E.I. Sundresses by Taylor Swift. Sundresses have long become her signature apparel choice. They are expected to be shipped to stores by February 1st.

Per WWD:

“We looked at partnering with many different people,” said Jack Gross, group chief executive officer for the jeanswear division at Jones. “Since we are partners with Wal-Mart, it was very important for us to find someone with a good reputation and someone who we didn’t have to be afraid of getting any sort of bad press. She is so famous, but really so grounded,” he said. “We liked her immediately.”

The former girlfriend of Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers will have 3 dresses in her line sold exclusively at Walmart - A tie-back dress, printed tie-back dress, and printed tier dress. Two additional styles are planned for a March release. All of her 100% cotton dresses will retail for $14.00.

Per WWD:

“These are my favorite things to wear,” Swift said. “When we were designing them, we had so many ideas to work from, and it came down to creating dresses that I would wear. If I couldn’t see myself wearing them, I wasn’t interested in making them.”

“I go to Wal-Mart all the time,” she said. “The one in my hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn., is open 24 hours, so I go there a lot to buy DVDs and stuff like that.”

Wow. Its so rare to see a star that is still grounded and remembers where she came from. Kudos to you, Taylor!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Naughty Photo Surfaces

January 30, 2009 By 49 Comments

Our good friends over at Gossip Teen found a photo of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in bed together. These two have been rumored to have had a long secret relationship, but KStew has been in a long term relationship for nearly 4 years. Sparklepants is also said to be maintaining another ‘secret relationship’ with another of his “Twilight“ costars, Nikki Reed.

A few blind items floating around claim that he and his onscreen sister (Reed plays Rosalie) have kept their dating on down low to keep their love from translating into the film. Yet another Pattinson dating rumor states that he is after Joe Jonas’ lady friend, Camilla Belle. She recently named drop him in an interview (click here for that story).

Photoshopped or not? Me…I thinks it’s obviously shopped. I have only had three Irish coffees so my judgment is still intact. Obviously the creator was being hopeful.

UPDATE: As many have mentioned there is an original floating around there in which it was a pic taken with a fan. I am after it now. Here is one of the photos that Robert’s face was clearly taken from. Thanks to Shads and Megan. A fan was lucky enough to grab a photo for the sought after actor and shared it with Perez.

Note: Comment system is going wacky. Some of yours are being lost. Please make sure you are not hot linking as it will be tossed as spam by the filter.

Rihanna – ‘You Got Me Hatin’ on the Club’ – Audio

January 30, 2009 By 1 Comment

Rihanna‘s ‘You Got Me Hatin’ on the Club’ was rumored to be one of the last songs to be on her album “Good Girl Gone Bad,” but was cut last minute.

Now this be the last time you did me wrong
No more laying up in your arms
No calling, saying you want me back
I’m packing my bags, what you think about that?

Stayed at home like a good girl do
But tonight baby you got me sad and blue
I just heard about the girl in your car now, kissing at the bar
Got me crying

[Chorus:]
Ohhh, you got me hatin’ on the club
‘Cause you took my love
Oh you took my love
Now you got me like whoahhh
You got me hatin’ on the club
‘Cause you took my love
Why’d you have to take my love
Whoahh

And you can be mad at me all you want
I ain’t coming in, I’ll be waiting out front
Coming out the door with your girlfriend
You did me wrong boy tell me where our love is

Stayed at home like a good girl do
But tonight baby you got me sad and blue
I just heard about the girl in your car now, kissing at the bar
Got me crying
[Hatin' On The Club Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]

[Chorus:]
Ohhh, you got me hatin’ on the club
‘Cause you took my love
Oh you took my love
Now you got me like whoahhh
You got me hatin’ on the club
‘Cause you took my love
Why’d you have to take my love
Whoahh

Now this is the sound of a broken heart
There’s only one reason why we’re apart
She never woulda made it to your car
If it wasn’t for the club, I’d still have my love
We would still have us
I’d still have my love
We would still have us

But now we’re like whoahhhh

Ohhh, you got me hatin’ on the club
‘Cause you took my love
Oh you took my love

But now, now we’re like whoahhh
You got me hatin’ on the club
You took my love
Oh you took my love

So what do you think?

Lucy Hale at War with Dakota Fanning for “New Moon”

January 29, 2009 By 5 Comments

Just when you think there couldn’t be anymore “New Moon” drama, another possible star of the film has leaked. Apparently “Privileged” star Lucy Hale auditioned for the role of Jane in the “Twilight” sequel prior to director Chris Weitz’s decision to offer the role outright to nearly 15-year-old actress Dakota Fanning.

Hale tells Twist Magazine:

“Well, I did read [for the role of Jane]. We had some talks about it. But I think they just offered it to Dakota Fanning, the role I was interested in. Which is great – I’m a huge fan of her! So, I think she’ll probably take that. And I mean, as of right now, I’m not sure if it’s going to work out. But I’m definitely still going to see it!”

Sometimes I feel badly for actors and the fact that they have to express enthusiasm when another actor is given a role they auditioned for. Can you imagine having to do that in the real world? I wish I had gotten that job, but Joe will make an excellent garbage collector. I’m really happy he was given work and I was left to collect unemployment.

Don’t worry about Lucy, though. When asked if she would be interested in another role in the movie she replied:

“I’d take any role! Leah Clearwater, but I think there’s already talks with somebody else. I think they’ve already offered it to someone. I mean, we’ll see. If not, it’s all good.”

Apparently Lucy is still under the impression that Vanessa Hudgens, the once rumored candidate for the role of Leah Clearwater, is still in the running. Perhaps Lucy should read Hollywood Dame more often.
