Ben Stiller has confirmed that a Zoolander sequel is officially in the works! The film will surely prove once and for all that is more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good looking.
Ben Stiller and Justin Theroux are working on the script (Theroux previously penned Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2) and Jonah Hill is set to play the villain. Owen Wilson is not yet confirmed for returning as Hansel, but it just wouldn't be Zoolander without him.
Former Spice Girl and Mom of the Year recipient, Mel B got a new haircut and loved it so much she decided to give it to her two year old daughter (Angel) too. Poor girl. Not only does Angel have to grow up knowing that every time she watches a terrible movie starring Eddie Murphy she's watching her dad humiliate himself, she also has to know that her mom channeled all her neuroses into one awful haircut...
Mike "The Situation" and Bar Refaeli posing for an upcoming spread in Interview Magazine. I guess the mag is taking to new heights of putting two people together that should NEVER be put together and doing an interview. Some say smart. Some say why...
In the most obvious round of gossip, it has (finally) been confirmed that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple. Yawn. The two have been "dodging" rumors since filming began on the first Twilight film, and all the rumors seem to keep interest in the movies sky high. It really makes you wonder if the whole thing isn't just one big publicity stunt. Who knows...
But, Robert did talk to the UK Sun and said, “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible." He was speaking of the BAFTAs - they were supposed to arrive together, but canceled at the last minute. Why? Perhaps the security wasn't enough to handle the teenage throngs who would have rushed the red carpet if they saw their two favorite stars together? "We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.” What stuff is he talking about? Not doing interviews with the Sun talking about being a couple, surely. Or not leaving the BAFTAs together (pictured above) surely.
Life is hard when you're every teenage girls' desire, but it's got to be even harder for the girl that is in a fake (or real) relationship with the object of their desire. Teenage girls have all those hormones and stuff. They'll cut a bitch...
Yes, it's sad but true. The former diva can no longer sing. One of the greatest vocal performers of our generation is now running around stage speak-singing and dropping out to let the chorus singers sing all the high notes.
Whitney Houston is in the land down under for a short concert tour called "Nothing But Love" (when she arrived in Brisbane she threw a huge fit when her limo was 2 minutes late). Her show last night in Brisbane angered many fans however. Fans gave the performance mixed reviews with many saying she was coughing and taking breaks to try and catch her breath, and was sweating profusely. Many are expected to demand refunds. The negative reviews will surely hurt the tour as Brisbane was her first stop.
In an ill-guided attempt at damage control, the concert tour promoter, Andrew McManus spoke out to defend Houston. He said, "I saw the whole show. Was it an A? No, it was probably a B+. It was not a train wreck. She was hitting most of the notes. Yes, her throat was a little croaky. Her health is fine but she's also not 22 years of age anymore. She was on stage for two-and-a-half hours dancing, singing, running. Was she a little out of breath on a couple of songs? Yes, she was. But I don't apologise for that, she had a red-hot go."
Ouch! When your tour promoter says she hit "most" of the notes, that can't be good. Saying things like it was a "B+" and it wasn't a "train wreck" just make it sound like it was worse. He also added that Houston was surprised by the negative reviews saying, "she went to bed after the show giving a two-and-a-half hour solid performance. She was proud of it. She thought she gave her all and did a strong performance and I agreed with her. This was the first night of a tour after a long flight; she hasn't played for a while."
Here again he gives a compliment about the show ("strong performance") and follows up with an excuse for her ("she hasn't played in a while").
The unfortunate point is Whitney Houston threw her voice away with drug addiction and poor health. Hopefully she will stop ruining her voice further by doing more performances and either retire or get vocal help. Although it's OK to feel sorry for Whitney, it's not OK for her to be charging fans upwards of $195 AU for a performance that wouldn't pass on American Idol.
The Hurt Locker won 6 prizes at last night's BAFTA ceremony. The war drama nearly shut out Avatar which only took home 2 of its 8 nominated prizes for Production Design and Visual Effects. With every awards show giving the top prize to a different film (Golden Globes: Avatar, BAFTA: Hurt Locker, SAG Awards: Inglourious Basterds), and with 10 films nominated for Best Picture Oscar, this year's Academy Awards ceremony might just be a surprise.
The two prizes that are guaranteed are in the supporting actor categories. Both Mo'Nique (for Precious) and Christoph Waltz (for Inglourious Basterds) tripled their awards last night (both also won SAG and Golden Globes).
The biggest surprises of last night were in the two best actor categories. Colin Firth won the top prize for his work in A Single Man and Carey Mulligan won for An Education. Neither are expected to repeat this win at the Oscars, but we shall see...
WEZ SEZ: The Hurt Locker deserves Best Picture Oscar. See it. Now.
They are re-vamping the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and it was recently announced that Oscar nominated Little Children star Jackie Earle Haley (pictured above) will be starring as Freddy Krueger. Scared yet? Haley was terrifing, brilliant, and heartbreaking as the pedophile in Little Children, I can't wait to see what he brings to this iconic movie monster role. The film will delve into the psyche of what makes Freddie who he is, showing him before he was burned alive, and after. Haley is taking the part very seriously saying,
"This version of Freddy is focusing [on] less camp and a little bit more of the scarier side. There's a little more focus on, what makes this guy who he is? There's a bit of a deeper kind of look at him. In my research I really started to delve into serial killers. I was studying Ed Kemper. They did a movie on him. It was a total slasher movie. It kind of pissed me off. And that's when I realized I'm playing a bogeyman, you know? That's what I'm really trying to embrace, but at the same time find out what makes this bogeyman tick. I think that when you start to get a sense of what makes somebody tick and you realize that [his] clock is kind of ticking out of whack, that's scary. That scares me in this world."
Haley is a true actor, and it will be wonderful to see this new vision brought to life. Not to worry all you Nightmare purists, he ends by saying that although he's having fun re-visioning the role, "you don't want to go so far that we've left what makes [the franchise] so cool and bitchin'."
Bitchin'. That's right. He called Nightmare on Elm Street bitchin'...
Jude Law was at the Japanese premier of Sherlock Holmes looking a-mazing! He really knows how to mix high fashion with an "I don't care" attitude. Here are some sweet shots below...
- Susan Sarandon got puked on by tranny performer Rose Wood at The Box burlesque club in New York City while Scarlet Johansson watched. Not very often does a headline like that comes along. Unfortunately there are no pictures of the event, but several eye-witnesses said that she handled the gross mistake just fine saying, "She actually handled it very well. She was laughing while a bunch of guys came over to towel her off." Ewwww. via NYP
- Jessica Simpson has taken to her Twitter page in promotion for her new VH-1 reality show The Price of Beauty posting a shot of her in a La Mer mask. "Thanks La Mer for the upper and lower zone radiant mask." La Mer is a Hollywood star skincare favorite and is quite pricey. The mask she is using in the picture costs $320!
- Jonathan Rhys Meyers attended the Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin over the weekend. He posed with his Tudors co-star Sarah Bolger on the red carpet for the event. The fourth and final season of the Tudors arrives on Showtime this April.
-Whitney Houston threw a diva fit at the Brisbane airport Saturday morning when her limo was a couple minutes late. She was quoted as yelling, "This is bull sh*t!" She also snapped at one of her fans who suggested she remove her glasses and hat to enjoy the beautiful Australia weather telling him to "mind his own f*cking business." Perhaps she didn't get enough sleep that on the plane? Or perhaps she's just a really prompt person. via Radar Online
- Jennifer Lopez is in full come-back mode! The singer / dancer / actor performed live at the 60th Annual Italian Music Festival in Sanremo, Italy on Friday. She sang her brand new song called "What Is Love" and she didn't fall down one time! The song will also be featured in her upcoming film The Back-up Plan. This Saturday, she will make her come-back complete NY style as she hosts and performs on Saturday Night Live! Watch her live performance below...
The Jonas Brothers took a break to toss a football on the beach in LA this past week. Joe Jonas is filming a new Disney movie called Chasing Butterfly's and his other bros stopped by to support.
Joe seems to be the least fashionable of the group proving just how bad skinny jeans can look on some guys. He has the whole "mom thighs" thing going. I guess he didn't get the memo: skinny jeans are for skinny people.
Kevin is cute in a nerdy sort of way.
But Nick (the youngest JoBro at 17)... boy looks good!
I have decided to take my blog in a new direction, sharing more about myself and my personal thoughts and feelings. In the past I was worried about everyone else's opinions instead of sharing my own. Which is what your here to get, right? So here it is:
