Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Pattinson, Chris Pine Battle for Lance Armstrong Biopic

June 11, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Jake Gyllenhaal and Matthew McConaughey were both rumored to become BFF’s with Lance Armstrong to score the lead role in the cyclist’s biopic. The threesome were constantly photographed together in what appeared to be a bromance involving spandex and beach workouts. The project had momentum in 2006 and Jake was said to have scored the role of Lance. Suddenly Matthew was kicked out of their workout club. Reps and even Gyllenhaal himself danced around questions asked about his involvement with the film.

The biopic never got off the ground and steam behind the press train vanished. However, E! is reheating the rumor and throwing more names into the ring. Chris Pine and Robert Pattinson are said to be in the running after their recent rise to fame. Risky Business Blog also states that Matt Damon is interested in the role.

Who do you think is the best man for the job?

Twittering Your Love: Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson Back Together-Miley Cyrus Dumps Justin Gaston

June 9, 2009 By Crista Webster 5 Comments

Twitter. It’s pretty much strong>Facebook for people with ADD. You can change your mind every two seconds. You can let people know how you’re doing, announce that you’ve had a baby (like Lance Armstrong did here), you can let the world know that you and your lesbian lover who placed a restraining order on you are back together (maybe…and with one of those annoying semi-colon happy faces), and you inform the world that you are your jailbait girlfriend have called it quits…because distance is like, so hard and stuff.

Lindsay Lohan Twittered Monday that she was leaving London with her favorite person and that she had great news to share…maybe. Shortly thereafter, Lohan was snapped by the paparazzi that she called, floundering around Heathrow airport with former flame Samantha Ronson.

Via People:

“They haven’t started fighting yet, but they are back together as far as Lindsay is concerned. Lindsay has been doing so much better and has been giving Sam her space. She is really dedicated to making it work.”

So much better than snorting blow out of a belly-button while flashing the hidden camera taping you your lady-bits? I guess violating a restraining order is slightly better than that.

Not to be outdone in Twitterverse, everyone’s favorite DUI waiting to happen, Miley Cyrus used her Twitter to announce her sorrow at having to leave 20 year-old boyfriend Justin Gaston behind in LA as she travels to Georgia to film the movie “The Last Song”. Gaston, like a good man in need of a meal ticket, simultaneously Twittered his great sadness at Cyrus’ departure.

However, Twitter is fickle, kittens. It seems that Miley Twittered just this past Saturday that she and former boyfriend Nick Jonas were hanging out together.

Via E!

“I’m in a dark theater ‘writing’ a song with nick j who is rockin a faded eggplant shirt! ”

Again with the colon happy face. Knock it off kids. I doubt Gaston was colon-face happy to read that Nick’s shirt was “rockin”. Also, since when does Miley write songs? As for Sam and Lindsay…I’d watching out for boiling bunnies on the stove circa “Fatal Attraction.” Apparently Twitter also makes you delusional. Speaking of which, are you following Hollywood Dame?

Megan Fox Demands Pot to be Legalized NOW

June 5, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

After showing up at the MTV Movie Awards doing her best impression of an oil slick, “Transformers” actress Megan Fox is now joining the ranks of other Hollywood types by declaring her love for marijuana.

While doing an interview for British GQ Magazine, Fox admitted her adoration for the drug and her wish for its potential legalization.

Via StyleCrave:

“I can’t tell you how much bulls**t I’ve been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it’s this crazy, hippy, f**ked-up thing to do. And it’s not. I hope they legalize it. And when they do, I’ll be the first person in line to buy my pack of joints.”

You’re right Megan. It’s not a hippy-thing to do, it’s more of a “Someone who thinks weed will be sold in packs,” kind of thing to do.

Fox however, will not have to worry about her remarks offending everyone. Celebstoner will now likely add her going to the ranks of Top Celebstoners along side Seth Rogan, Cheech Marin and Kristen Stewart.

David Carradine Found Dead

June 4, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

In a terrible twist of shocking news, David Carradine was found dead in his hotel room this morning.

The 72 year old “Kill Bill” star was in Bangkok filming his latest movie. Filming began on June 2nd and when he didn’t show up for dinner on June 3rd the crew and friends assumed he was just resting in his room at Park Nai Lert Hotel.

A hotel maid stumbled upon Carradine around 10 a.m. this morning half nude and bound in rope. One report by BBC states that rope was around his neck and “other parts of his body.” (Everyone experiments so don’t judge.) Most are reporting that he committed suicide. However, questions are being presented and an official cause of death has not been established.

He had been found in a closet which leads me to believe that this wasn’t suicide. Police are leaning towards suicide and say that he had been dead for more than 12 hours and could find no sign of fighting or assault. They also stated that he had been hung by a cord from the room’s curtains. Meanwhile his agent insists that he “was full of life, always wanting to work… a great person.”

What a terrible tragedy and a great loss. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his loved ones.

Nicolas Cage Pays Voodoo Priestess to Banish Curse

June 4, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Nicolas Cage has employed the talents of a Voodoo Priestess to come a save his new film. I guess the hair plug fairy wasn’t up to the job.

During shooting for “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” two different on set car accidents nearly killed crewmembers and bystanders in New York. The first crash injured two people walking along the sidewalk when a stuntman lost control of the Ferrari he was driving. Nearly a month later, an SUV hit a parked car and nine of the set’s crew were hurt. To break this “curse” that had been reaking havoc over the set, Nick personally hired the voodoo priestess to cleanse the set of evil.

Per Starpulse Via National Enquirer:

A set source tells the tabloid, “Everyone was shocked when the voodoo woman arrived on the set. She was wearing a long black and purple dress had long stringy hair – and carried a broom. She sprinkled ‘Voodoo Dust’ on the pavement as she chanted weird phrases to frighten bad spirits.”

As of this moment, no further accidents have taken place since the voodoo fairy took Cage’s money and danced around the set.

‘New Moon’ Photos – Dakota Fanning as Jane, Taylor Lautner Shirtless

June 3, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

We have been blessed with the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” trailer for three days now. Prior to that, I lost my senses flipping through pic after pic of the movie’s star Robert Pattinson shooting shirtless in Italy. However, what Twihards everywhere haven’t been privy to are pictures of the mean old Volturi vampires…until now.

A creepy picture of Dakota Fanning as Jane, on her way to shoot a scene while in Italy last week has surfaced. Until now, pictures of Fanning and other Volturi cast mates (including Michael Sheen and Jamie Bowen) have been top secret. And I can see why…

…Fanning totally creeps me out when she is just walking around being her normal self. Now, she looks like a sadistic version of Red Riding Hood. Have to give props to the costume department on this one-LOVE that they have put her in mary-janes adding to her supposed innocence.

For the two or three of you that aren’t familiar with Fanning’s character, Jane, she is described as having a Botticelli face but also harbors the ability to make a person believe they are being inflicted with great pain (much like her acting in “War of the Worlds” did to me).

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” is scheduled to hit theaters November 20, 2009.

Johnny Depp Names a Beach After Heath Ledger

June 1, 2009 By Cara Harrington 5 Comments

It’s no secret that sex-on-a-stick, Johnny Depp, has a special place in his heart for Heath Ledger. Depp was one of the 3 actors to finish Heath’s last project, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” He, Jude Law and Colin Ferrell each took a role in finishing the film and then donated their paychecks to Matilda Ledger.

Johnny also a special place dedicated to the memory of Heath on his 45-acre private Bahamian island, Little Hall’s Pond Cay. It’s his sanctuary and calm from the media storm that follows Depp.

Via Vanity Fair:

“Little Hall’s Pond has six different beaches–named after Depp’s partner, Vanessa Paradis, and their children, Lily Rose and Jack, as well as his mentors Hunter S. Thompson and Marlon Brando–each with a personality and cove of its own, and one patch of water deemed “Heath’s Place” after the late actor Heath Ledger. There are several small residences, all solar-powered, and transportation consists of a fleet of green golf carts.

“I don’t think I’d ever seen any place so pure and beautiful,” Depp tells Brinkley of the island. “You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It’s instant freedom. And that rare beast–simplicity–can be had. And a little morsel of anonymity…. Whenever I was getting frustrated about being ‘novelty boy’ and making movies, I told myself, Calm down. I can come down here and disappear.”

That settles it. I want my own island.

Ferris Bueller House For Sale

May 27, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

Today is 80’s Flashback Day at work. Yes, the Dame gives us flashback days. It’s a far cry from our old Cocktail Hour Every Hour events she used to hold.

It’s sad, as not too many people here remember anything about the 80’s. I do. And I loved many, many things about the 80’s, especially “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

And now my other flashback friends, we can own a part of that amazing Matthew Broderick flick: Cameron Frey’s house. That’s right. The one with the Ferrari garage. The one designed by noted 20th Century architects A. James Speyer and David Haid. The one best described by Ferris:

“The place is like a museum. It’s very beautiful and very cold, and you’re not allowed to touch anything.”

Via The Chicago Sun Times:

“The house is listed with four bedrooms and four bathrooms and has a total living area of 5,300 square feet. It’s [sic] listing describes it as a unique ‘architectural treasure’ and is being sold ‘as is.’”

The current owner is asking for a measly $2.3 million-less than Katherine Heigl thinks she deserves for two weeks of work.

It is being reported that the owner has already received several offers for the home. I will submit mine right after the Dame approves my advance on salary.

Jamie Foxx to Play Frank Sinatra

May 18, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Urm….what? British tabloids are running with a story that Jamie Foxx will be portraying the Rat Pack member, Frank Sinatra.

After guest starring as a mentor on “American Idol” for Rat Pack night, some buzz began that Foxx was in the running to play Sinatra in the upcoming Martin Scorsese directed biopic. Jamie received an Oscar for his work playing Ray Charles in 2004 and the rumor is that producers are looking to cash in on him. George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harry Connick Jr. and Justin Timberlake are all also rumored to be in the running to portray Frank.

Per Daily Express Via Telegraph:

“Cool is colour-blind. Jamie would seem to be born to the role. Magnificent singing voice, totally convincing acting ability, like Frank himself, born the wrong side of the tracks, rags to riches, makes it big against the odds, has his brushes with authority. The guy’s a gift.”

Wait…“magnificent singing voice, totally convincing acting ability.” I don’t think we are talking about the same Jamie Foxx. This descriptions sounds a bit fishy. I am picturing Jamie sitting on the phone making up this crap while pretending to be an ‘inside source’ and speaking in a fake woman’s voice saying: “Yeah, yeah! Magnificent singer! And he heals the blind and saves kittens from trees! And good in bed. Yeah, that too! He is a stud and dwarfs the rest of man kind with his outstanding endowment that is also a gift to women.”
