Rooney Mara Wins ‘Girl With a Dragon Tattoo’ Role

August 17, 2010 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

You may have never heard of Rooney Mara, but that’s not going to last long. The virtually unknown actress has landed one of the most sought after roles in Hollywood today: Lisbeth Salander.

If you are asking who the hell that his, then you’ve probably never heard of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ or it’s two counterparts published after the demise of author Stieg Larsson.

Two of the books have already been made into films in Sweden, but director David Fincher will be taking the lead with Mara and Daniel Craig starring in the English language version of the films.

Via Deadline:

“Rooney was considered Fincher’s first choice in the process: the director had just helmed her in The Social Network. Closing a deal will amount to a formality, because Mara essentially agreed to terms when she and other young actresses signed on to tests that Fincher and producer Scott Rudin have conducted over the past several weeks. Her deal includes an option for two sequels that will cover The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest, the second and third books in the Millennium Trilogy by the late author Stieg Larsson. The books continue the same murder conspiracy storyline.”

It is anticipated that the film will be released at Christmas time, 2011.

The man that nabbed to gloriousness of Catherine Zeta Jones is battling cancer. Michael Douglas has a tumor in his throat. Doctors say he should make a full recovery and return to bringing Jones her diamonds on a silver platter while she takes bubble baths and wears tiaras in just a few months.

“The Oscar-winning actor, 65, will under go eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. His doctors expect the Wall Street star to make a full recovery, according to the spokesperson.

“I am very optimistic,” Douglas said in a statement.”

Get well soon.

Twihards and going to implode as the worst kept secret relationship is exposed. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were caught kissing in public. They hit up a house party together and were photographed kissing and nuzzling on several occasions while in Montreal Canada. Kristen is filming “On the Road,” and Rob came to visit her.

This is the first time Pattinson and Stewart have been photographed kissing offset for non-movie related circumstances. Celebuzz reported:

Pattinson, 24, is currently visiting the 20-year-old Kristen while she films the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s famous beat novel. Rob just recently wrapped filming of his new film, Water for Elephants. Once Kristen wraps up filming, she and Rob will jet off to film part one and part two of the final installment of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn.

Tila Tequila Attacked – VIDEO, PHOTOS

August 16, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Tila Tequila took her high ho-iness to the Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. Of course this is a classy event that ends with cups of tea and kittens wearing their Sunday best. Acts like Insane Clown Posse and Kottonmouth Kings are featured so you can guess the caliber of people in attendance. (Yes, Vanilla Ice was there too.)

While on stage for “Ladies Night,” people began flinging rocks, beer bottles, poo and firecrackers at the reality tv trick. She whined to TMZ about the debacle…

“…immediately, before I even got on stage, DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage…”

Rumor has it that this rodeo was planned. Nathan Rabin, head writer at The A.V. Club, gave a few revealing Tweets.

“@nathanrabin Contemplating ditching Green for Tila Tequila. Word is she’ll be met with critical brickbats. And actual bricks perhaps.”

Regardless, she tried to take her top off in effort to stop the projectiles, but everyone has already seen her boobs and the onslaught continued. She left the stage after she continued to be pelted.

Congrats to Neil Patrick Harris! He and his partner David Burtka are expecting twins sometime this fall! Harris announced his good news via Twitter on Saturday, and then quickly asked that the media respect their privacy.

“So, get this: David and I are expecting twins this fall. We’re super excited/nervous/thrilled. Hoping the press can respect our privacy…”

According to reports, the happy couple will welcome their bundles of joy via a surrogate in October. Rumors surfaced last year that Burtka and Harris had visited a surrogacy agency in L.A. to get the ball rolling on expanding their family. Looks like now they will be breaking out shades of blue — AND pink!!

Per E!:

A source tells E! News that the late-breaking Emmy nominee is expecting a boy and a girl with longtime partner David Burtka this October.

A boy and a girl! Congrats to the happy couple!

Lindsay Lohan To Be Released This Week

August 16, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Lindsay Lohan could be released back into the wild and free to roam by the end of this week. Lock up your emergency coke stash because I have a feeling she is going to go blow crazy and blanket herself in enough of the bad shiz to make the last scene in “Scarface” look like an episode of the Care Bears.

The UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital has not written their final report, but the suspicions of bipolar disorder have turned out to be unfounded according to “insiders” who blabbed to TMZ. Her Adderall issues are also said to be “not as severe” as they thought. So Lohan could be in outpatient care before you can say WTF?!

So… doctors are giving each other the side eye and shrugging their shoulders in bewilderment as to what exactly is wrong with Lindsay, patting her on the head and sending her on her way clutching a script for Adderall. Cue the violins as she sits down with the tricks from The View and creates a tale about prison reforming her and seeing the light of sweet baby Jesus.

Oh well, maybe her return will stimulate coke sales and thusly the economy. Hooray gas prices below $5 a gallon!

Early Release For Lindsay Lohan?

August 16, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Lindsay Lohan will more than likely be a free woman sooner than expected! Lohan is currently being held at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital and doctors are saying that her psychiatric problem is not as serious as they first thought. According to TMZ, they were suspecting that the actress has a bipolar disorder but turned out that it wasn’t the case after all. Furthermore, the doctors added that her Adderall issues could be taken care of as an outpatient case.

Bottom line … sources say it’s “very possible” Lindsay is getting out this week and will begin getting outpatient care.

Once Lohans’ doctors write their final report mentioning that they believe her to be fine, her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley can go back into court and request the judge to allow her client to receive outpatient care. TMZ reports that the court would be likely to approve her release if doctors gave her the green light to receive treatment at home.

Lohan checked into the rehab center on August 2nd, after serving only 13 days of a three-month sentence in a Los Angeles county jail. She was originally set to begin her rehab program at the Morningside Recovery center in Newport Beach, California, but the judge in her case, Marsha Revel, ordered a last-minute switch to the UCLA facility for what were described as security reasons. Earlier last week, Revel removed herself from the case (read about that here.) When Lohan is indeed released, she will be subjected to random drug and alcohol testing and could be jail-bound once again if she is caught violating again.

So, in other words, her horrid behavior can’t be pinned on mental illness or even drug abuse. Final diagnosis? Spoiled Bratitus.

Zsa Zsa Gabor On Her Deathbed

August 16, 2010 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Oh say it isn’t so. Another beacon of light on the socialites of old is fading. Zsa Zsa Gabor has received last rites from a priest and is not faring well.

The 93 year old broke her hip on July 17th. She appeared to recovery nicely, but things went downhill quickly as Gabor went back into surgery to remove several blood clots. One report from her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, sounded as though she was going to make it. Another report from her daughter, Constance Francesca Hilton, reassured that Zsa Zsa was “going strong.” New reports reveal that she is in fact in poor state.

Via NY Daily:

“Describing the situation as “very sad,” publicist John Blanchette said Gabor’s husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, “is at her side.”

“It is a very difficult time for her family,” the spokesman said. The 93-year-old actress “has seen a priest and is not doing very well,” Blanchette said. “She asked to see a priest and receive her last rites.”

Aww, boo! Get back on the diamond encrusted saddle and get well.

Jesse James and Kat Von D Dating

August 16, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Remember when Jesse James blew his marriage by making sexiness with that third place winner in the Kat Von D lookalike contest in which the prize was a forehead tattoo? (Click HERE in case you need a refresher on Jesse James and Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee affair.) Apparently, he is upgrading to the real thing.

Jesse James and Kat Von D were spotted on a date getting all cozy and hand holdy at a restaurant in Vegas this weekend. After making their tattoos dance and indulging in some more uber-tame PDA, they left together. I am sure they were going to discuss the BP oil spill and how it will impact our eco-system. (Not really.)

Via People:

“Settling into a table at Palms Casino Resort’s N9NE, the duo didn’t bother spreading out in the oversized booth, but got cozy by sitting right next to each other. The two shared the restaurant’s signature rock shrimp and classic Caesar salad. They also both enjoyed the filet with a side of asparagus, and drank Fiji water with dinner. Toward the end of the meal, the duo were spotted holding hands.

They continued holding hands as they left dinner and headed to a black Mercedes that James was driving.”

The ink dried on Sandra Bullock and Jesse’s divorce papers in June and James’ lawyer weaved a tale of heartbreak wining about how much agony Vanilla Gorilla was in. Looks like he is back to full ho power.
