Elton John and David Furnish Slam Madonna – VIDEO

January 16, 2012 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Madonna won a Golden Globe last night and hydrangeas shook their leafy fists in fury. Her acceptance speech was a bit of an awkward/boring mess. Even her boobs were trying to escape association.

David Furnish and Elton John were throwing shade at her the entire time she was rambling about “focusing” on being a serious director. Earlier, on the red carpet, Elton was chatting with Carson Daly who asked about his nomination for ‘Hello Hello’ and his competition. John answered, “Mary J might win it for ‘The Help’. Madonna doesn’t have a f**king chance.” She won that mess and delivered a speech in which she corrected her grammar, said “um” repeatedly and attempted humor.

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards had one highlight and that was the fashion. Let’s face it; the entire premise of the Globes is like a dry run at the Oscars. That is why I prefer GG dresses to Oscar garb. No one will try and rock some oddity made out of feathers and Justin Bieber’s hair at the Academy Awards because they might win and forever be overshadowed by a bustier made of Bieber clippings.

Golden Globe 2012 Winners

January 16, 2012 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Ricky Gervais was invited back to host the Golden Globes despite a bunch people who don’t like: fun, swearing, drinking while working saying they wouldn’t let him in the front door ever again.

Ricky took a few jabs, thank the Award Show Gods, and managed not to anger too many crotchety big wigs. In his monologue he took light swings at Eddie Murphy who was going to replace Ricky, but backed out. He mentioned that the Hollywood Foreign Press gave him a list of NO NO’S that included no: profanity, nudity, no smut/innuendo, no lying about anyone and no mentions of Mel Gibson. Which, is fine because the jokes write themselves when it comes to him.

Billy Crystal to Host Oscars

November 11, 2011 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Ah, the Oscars. One hour of sparkly dresses that Joan Rivers will somehow turn into a vagina joke that is followed by nearly 4 hours of nap inducing tv. The Academy Awards has had a tumultuous week as producer Brett Ratner angered the gay community after using the “F” word. This move was Ashton Kutcher level of dumb being that women and fashionably sensitive gay men make up the Oscars target audience.

Brett issued a sorry statement ant then exited stage left on the awards. I am sure it was more like being yanked off stage with a giant hook, but will give Ratner a Yeah, Okay anyway. Eddie Murphy then hit the ESC button on being host in protest.

Adam Sandler NOT Dead

December 29, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Neither is Aretha Franklin or Owen Wilson. In fact the death rumors are a lame hoax started on Twitter. Eddie Murphy is also rumored to have died. Whoever is behind the rumors has very little imaginations. Owen, Adam and Eddie’s fictional deaths were all at the hands of a skiing accident.

Rest easy…they are all alive and the Queen of Soul is still throwing shade at Mariah and Celine.

Tom Cruise is Boring and ‘Weird’ About Gays

October 20, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Balki Bartokomous is talking smack y’all! I love waking up in the mornings and finding this in my mail box.

Bronson Pinchot played Barry alongside Tom Cruise in “Risky Business” and is spilling the details on how awful it was to work with Tom. It was his first film and he thought the star was such a “bore” that the movie would bomb.

“We didn’t know it was going to be a big hit. We thought Tom [Cruise] was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth. He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments, like, “You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?” I mean, his lingo was larded with the most… There was no basis for it. It was like, “It’s a nice day, I’m glad there are no gay people standing here.” Very, very strange.”

Cruise wasn’t the only one Bronson squealed on. He constantly played a side not in films with several other well known actors.

Tom Hanks – “He is a wonderful and genuine and lovely and down-to-earth person. I don’t know how he does that.”

Eddie Murphy (Beverly Hills Cop) – “Eddie was going through his period at the time of doing movies that were not hits, and he was very low-spirited, low-energy. I said to him, “All anyone ever wants to know when they meet me is what you’re like.” And he said, “I bet they don’t ask that anymore.” And then when we did a scene, we were shooting, and he was so low-energy that John Landis sent him upstairs and said, “Just rest, Eddie, and I’ll do the scene with Bronson.” So whenever you see my face in the movie, I’m not really talking to Eddie, I’m talking to John Landis.”

Denzel Washington (Bruno) – “That was a low point, because Denzel Washington was behind the incredibly cowardly bullshit of “This is my character, not me.” He was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn’t like me, but it was a dreadful experience.”

Bette Midler (First Wives Club) – Bette Midler was such a bitch to Hugh Wilson (director). While he was directing, she would be rolling her eyes, pantomiming with her favorite actors, and she made it very difficult. And he was at his wit’s end. He was actually a very nice man, but she was very unkind to him on that movie.

How I miss the good ol’ days tv in which John Tesh would cry silent tears on Entertainment Tonight while looking jealous as they did the dance of joy.

Eddie Murphy is NOT Dead – UPDATE

August 20, 2009 By Crista Webster 13 Comments

Oy Vey! C’mon people, when will enough be enough?

Rumors started spreading like wildfire this afternoon that actor/comedian Eddie Murphy died. The rumors, as per usual, are simply untrue.

Via American Superstar:

“Eddie Murphy dead rumors hit the Web on Thursday, but the 48-year-old star is alive and well. It is the second time this year that the ’48 Hours’ star has been the victim of dead reports. In January, a Web site claimed Murphy was killed on the set of a film adaptation of the video game ‘Left 4 Dead.’“

The rumors likely began due to Eddie’s alleged involvement in starring in the Richard Pryor biopic. Pryor, also an actor/comedian, passed away in 2005 at the age of 65.

UPDATE – ANOTHER rumor has started relating to Eddie Murphy’s fictional death. It is based on a ski accident in which he was allegedly involved in. Reportedly, he was killed (instantly) in a snowboard accident in Zermatt, Switzerland while on vacation with family and friends. It started on Twitter around noon today. It is false and the voice of Donkey will continue to irritate Mel B for years to come.

Eddie Murphy as the Riddler in Batman Sequel Nuttery

December 18, 2008 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

File this one under the same “Will-Never-Happen” file as Lisa Rinna’s Playboy dream.

Since “The Dark Knight” is on it’s way to reaching the 1 billion dollar marker, it is safe to say that another addition to the revamped Batman series is unavoidable. Christopher Nolan, the man behind both “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight,” hasn’t confirmed his dedication to another superhero film, but I have a feeling the movie will be done with or without him.

Rumors as to who will be playing what nemesis have be bouncing around since the release of the second installment. Angelina Jolie was said to be Catwoman but that rumor gave way to Cher taking the role. Then a small blip in the feline foe story stated that Judi Dench scored the spot. All of which proved to be pure stupidity. Jolie would have required Cambodian children featured in at least 12 scenes and Batman writing fat checks to buy them porridge. The thought of Cher lubing herself up and sliding into latex and then prancing around in the jumbo screen on IMAX is simply horrifying. Same for Dench.

Casting hasn’t even been legitimately touched, let alone a plot. Rumors that the next segment will involve The Riddler and Catwoman are unwavering. The original sequel casting was adamant that Johnny Depp would be undertaking the role. Now…this lunacy surfaces. Eddie Murphy is said to have scored the role despite the fact that no concrete evidence that the project is actually underway.

The Sun states:

FUNNYMAN EDDIE MURPHY will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie, The Sun can reveal. The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47, has been signed up by British director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN to reprise the role played by JIM CARREY in 1995’s Batman Forever. The surprise move follows speculation linking Pirates of the Caribbean star JOHNNY DEPP to the part.
The film, set for a 2010 release, is being developed under the working title Gotham.

Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin. CHRISTIAN BALE will return as Bruce Wayne, while MICHAEL CAINE will again play Bruce’s assistant Alfred. Meanwhile, Brit RACHEL WEISZ is said to be up for the Catwoman role.

I call caca on this story. First….in doing my research on the subject, I have found that both Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan have confirmed that they would NOT be adding the “Robin” factor to the films. During several interviews Bale expresses his distaste for the sidekick.

“If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”

Never say never…but from a logical stand point why would you trade your main star for Shia as Robin? That is like saying…Sorry Johnny Depp hotness…we are replacing you with this Pee Wee Herman bobble head. The only way I will buy this as fact is if “Batman 3” will include 8 other super villains whose powers involve a stereotype like fried chicken and waffles and each of them were played by Eddie Murphy in fat suits.
