Weekend Box Office: "Gravity" Defies

kanderson — Sun, 06 Oct 13 16:56:12 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22143" align="aligncenter" width="575" caption="Off we go, into the unknown."][/caption] Here's how it looks: 1. Gravity 3D (Warner Bros) NEW [Runs 3,575] PG13 Friday $17.5M, Saturday $23.5M, Weekend $55.5M 2. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 3D (Sony) Week 2 [Runs 4,001] PG Friday $4.7M, Saturday $9.4M, Weekend $21.5M (-37%), Cume $60.5M 3.

Rush (Imagine/Universal) Week 3 [Runs 2,308] R Friday $1.4M, Saturday $2.0M, Weekend $4.5M, Cume $18.2M Last week I wrote that I was worried about "Gravity" attracting an audience, despite stellar reviews. I wondered if audiences would feel like 3D and IMAX prices were worth it just to see Sandra Bullock floating in space. I mean, sci-fi without battles, robots, things exploding? Would moviegoers buy that? Well, it looks like I was wrong--audiences did indeed buy it, making the movie number one for the weekend and helping it break a number of records: largest October opening weekend, largest IMAX opening in October, largest openings ever for Bullock and Clooney, and 2nd largest for Cuaron (I would guess that his entry in the Harry Potter franchise is first). I've got to tell you, this is a time when I'm just thrilled to be wrong--there's nothing more discouraging then when someone makes a good movie and no one comes to see it. Congratulations, moviegoers of North America. You're awesome--and so is "Gravity." Go see it, and see it in 3D and IMAX if possible--if you've been waiting for a movie to make the 3D prices and annoying glasses worthwhile, this is it. And it's only 90 minutes, no Oscar bait bloat here. Thank you, Mr. Cuaron, Ms. Bullock, and Mr. Clooney. As for the other new opener this weekend, "Runner Runner," well, that flopped, which surprised no one. Did you see any ads for it? I think I saw one. It has that look of Ben Affleck saying, "I've just spent a lot of time directing a movie and I'm not sure how it's going to do, so let me just star in this and pick up a quick paycheck." I can't imagine anyone, other than the relatives of the people involved--and maybe not even them--feeling motivated to drag themselves out of their houses on a lovely (or rainy, depending on where you are) October weekend to see this movie, which looks like a Netflix pick for when you've just run out of ideas. So on to next week! Or actually not--this is the last entry for this blog. I'd like to thank Hollywood for providing me with enough news to write about each day (most of the time--there certainly were some dry spells). Thank you to casting rumors, box office reports, "10 best lists" and nominations, and film festivals where deals are announced. Thank you to projects that linger for years, generating endless posts (I'm thinking of you, "Highlander" and "The Crow" remakes). Thank you to movies that take forever to cast, like our number one movie this weekend, "Gravity"--remember when they thought it would star Angelina Jolie or Natalie Portman with Robert Downey Jr.? Thank you to troubled productions that generate an endless spiral of posts, like Portman's "Jane Got a Gun," which whipped through a directors and actors like used tissues for a brief comet-like run this March. Most of all, thank you to any of you who ever read anything over here. Oh, and of course I'd like to thank the Academy. Because everyone wants to thank the Academy.

Justin Timberlake Cheated On Jessica Biel?

Misty — Fri, 04 Oct 13 15:33:55 +0000

New rumors have popped up suggesting that Justin Timberlake has been cheating on his wife Jessica Biel. This isn't the first time that these reports have cropped up - which makes us wonder if there is anything truth to them... Reportedly, Justin was in Rio de Janeiro for the Rock In Rio Festival in mid-September when he was seen kissing on Brazilian actress Thaila Ayala. Uh oh! A source revealed, "Jessica flipped out… she’s afraid that Justin is incapable of controlling his impulses. Jess is really worried. She wants to believe that he’ll be faithful, but it’s hard to tune out all the chatter suggesting otherwise." Perhaps she had better be worried this time? We aren't surprised at these rumors, to be honest. He was said to be cheating on her even when they were only dating. Maybe he'll end up giving her a baby in order to shut her up. What do you think?

Nicki Minaj & Zac Efron Hooked Up

Misty — Fri, 04 Oct 13 15:30:53 +0000

Here's a gossip related headline that we never thought we would write. According to reports, former High School Musical star Zac Efron hooked up with singer Nicki Minaj. We're not sure who to feel more grossed out for -- him or her. Talk about odd matchings! We would never have guessed that these two ever hooked up -- briefly or otherwise. Would you? The duo hooked up right after Zac completed his second stint in rehab recently. He went from snorting coke to banging Nicki Minaj. Are we the only ones who find this weird? A source said, "Nicki took Zac to her house in West Hollywood… She said he was the best lover she’s ever had. She thinks Zac is so sexy… she would have loved to take things further but she knew he was through a phase when they hooked up." So she found him to be the best lover she's ever had.... That's quite the endorsement! Are you surprised? This reminds us of that time when Zac dropped that condom on the red carpet.... Was that for his late night hookup with Nicki? It makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Matthew McConaughey Worries That He Has Ruined His Body

Misty — Fri, 04 Oct 13 15:26:31 +0000

Matthew McConaughey is really worried that he has ruined his super hot body! Can you even imagine his mode of thinking here? This is Matthew McConaughey we're talking about here. This man will always be hot. Yes, he lost 40 pounds for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, but we're sure that he's not forever ruined in that respect. A source said, "Matt dropped from 180 pounds to 147 in just a few months, but losing all that weight really took a toll on him. While he’s regained much of the muscle he lost, Matt’s endurance is nowhere near what it once was. It’s a concern for him – a big one. He doesn’t feel like himself." Now that he has been filming True Detective, he's been feeling the effects of the massive weight loss. The source said, Matt barely made it to noon on the set and he was just beat. He’s gone to doctors and consulted nutritionists to try to get his endurance back, but he hasn’t seemed to get over the hump." We're sure he's still got that fantastic body hidden in there somewhere.

Lena Dunham Is A Total Diva

Misty — Fri, 04 Oct 13 15:22:38 +0000

We're hearing reports that Lena Dunham is a total pain in the neck to deal with in her newfound diva ways. Apparently her success has really gone to her head! On the set of Girls, a source said, "On hot days, Lena make a production assistant act as her personal ‘umbrella technician’. He’s in charge of waiting outside her trailer and following her everywhere on set to protect her fair skin from the sun." The source went on to say, "Lena also demands that an assistant fetch her lunch and hand-feed it to her. She says she doesn’t want to break a sweat in her show clothes or ruin her makeup. On top of that, Lena has someone read all three of the New York daily newspapers every day and write up a synopsis so she can always be up on current affairs." Only commoners read the local papers for themselves, right? The source added, "Lena always swore she’d keep her street cred, but she’s gone totally Hollywood. If she doesn’t get her ego in check, she’s going to find out the hard way that it’s very lonely at the top." Perhaps she needs to be knocked down a notch or two -- and back to reality?

Rob Kardashian Doesn't Care About His Family's Reality Show

Misty — Fri, 04 Oct 13 15:19:22 +0000

When speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Rob Kardashian admitted that he doesn't actually care for his family's reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Finally, something that we can agree with a Kardashian on! Who knew?!? Yes, he pretty much used the show to become a household name and now all he is interested in is making ugly socks for his Arthur George line at Neiman Marcus. When asked by the publication why he named the line Arthur George, he said, "Arthur is my middle name, George is my dad’s middle name. I just kind of wanted to do something where you don’t just see ‘Kardashian’ everywhere." We are truly shocked that there is a Kardashian in existence that doesn't care all that much for profiting non-stop from their famous last name. He said, "I mean, it’s my thing. I don’t want anybody associating it with anybody else in my family. I feel like it has more longevity, in that sense. I’m very big on doing my own thing. I don’t really want to get into that world, necessarily." He added, "My job is — I make socks. That’s all I do. I don’t necessarily care about the show. I would rather film this — me doing what I do — than being around my family." Well, in his defense, the show does suck -- so there's that.

Camilla Parker-Bowles Collapses After Learning Of Charles' Divorce Plans

Misty — Thu, 03 Oct 13 18:21:33 +0000

After seeing the newest issue of Globe magazine, we were wondering if the royal couple, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla even had $350 million between them. Sure, they live in the lap of luxury, but do they really got it like that? The magazine claims that Camilla has collapsed after learning that Charles was getting ready to stick it to her in their divorce. From the magazine's report:

Evil Camilla shockingly crumbled in public as her husband Prince Charles declared war in their $350 million divorce - and chillingly threatened: "I will destroy you." See the exclusive photo of Camilla's stunning collapse and learn all about the nasty behind-the-scenes goings-on - ONLY in the new GLOBE!

Surely, he could just have her offed if he didn't want to stay married to her? Just kidding!

Kaley Cuoco Used A Fake Engagement Ring To Get Fiance's Proposal

Misty — Thu, 03 Oct 13 18:15:08 +0000

We're still not convinced that Kaley Cuoco's proposal from fiance Ryan Sweeting was anything to write home about. He basically started an argument with her, which led her to believe that things weren't going so well in their young relationship of only three months. She has been busy filming her new movie The Wedding Ringer and for her role, she's been wearing a prop wedding ring. She didn't even take the ring off during her off time from filming, which sent a signal of some sort to Ryan. Apparently that was to let him know that she was ready for the real thing. A source said, "Kaley's crazy about Ryan. She was wearing the fake bling all around hoping Ryan would get the hint - and he did!" The source also revealed the exact reason why Kaley dumped Henry Cavill. The snitch said, "She just got overwhelmed with the very public Superman relationship. She’s not used to that much attention and chaos in her life." DUMB!

Stacy Keibler Is Strapped For Cash

Misty — Thu, 03 Oct 13 18:04:09 +0000

Is George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Stacy Keibler so strapped for cash that she is actually considering going back to wrestling? That sounds about right, considering his ladies get used to a certain lavish lifestyle for about two years before being thrust back into the lives of whence they came. A source revealed, "Stacy is considering making a one-time appearance on the wrestling circuit. But it’s got to be a cash-heavy offer. She would like the dough.” The pal went on to say, "Stacy had it all. Private jets, a mind-blowing wardrobe, whatever she wanted was at her beck and call. I remember when she spent thousands on a high-tech tanning bed! Since they split, Stacy’s had to give up a lot. But she still buys the best of everything and splashes out big bucks every week at the spa. She has two trainers, a health coach and a private chef. She estimates she NEEDS over $50,000 a month to support her current lifestyle. A million-dollar appearance fee would cover her expenses for a year and leave enough left over for her to make a serious investment in something." Could you imagine having $50,000 per month to live off of? Most people can only imagine living off of $50,000 per year. Nuts, right? The snitch added, "Stacy admits a return to wrestling isn’t quite what she had in mind, but the offers are getting too good to refuse."

Faith Hill & Tim McGraw's Marriage On The Rocks

Misty — Thu, 03 Oct 13 17:08:40 +0000

Country singing couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are once again the subject of more divorce rumors, thanks to the good folks over at the National Enquirer. Shouldn't the tabloids take a break and leave Tim and Faith alone already? They have already been subjected to plenty of rumors about the state of their marriage. In addition to that, Tim has been called out for being gay and a cheater. He was said to be leaning on Taylor Swift, which had Faith angry with him. Now, the rumors making the rounds suggest that she is turning to Kenny Chesney for support after Tim took off his wedding ring. We would love to be a fly on the wall for the ideas these guys throw out for stories each week. Wouldn't you?

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott Are Broke

Misty — Thu, 03 Oct 13 17:04:39 +0000

Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott cover the new issue of Star magazine. According to this particular issue, Tori and Dean are completely strapped financially. In normal cases, we would say that having four kids would do that to a couple, but in their case, they reportedly had millions of dollars to live off of. $18 million, to be precise. How on earth could these two blow through $18 million? That's no small drop in the bucket. To them, perhaps it is, but the average person would never ever deign to see that kind of money in their lifetimes -- or even a percentage of that. She should bury the hatchet with her mother for good and just ask for a loan, don't you think?

Elizabeth Olsen Will Play Scarlet Witch, Says Samuel L. Jackson

kanderson — Thu, 03 Oct 13 11:03:25 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22140" align="aligncenter" width="396" caption="Acccoring to Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen is in "Avengers: Age of Ultron.""][/caption] Samuel L. Jackson dished out a bit of news that the Walt Disney/Marvel behemoth does not seem to have been ready to share--if it's true. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Jackson said:

“I don’t think we begin shooting ["Avengers: Age of Ultron"] before March of next year...I know we’re shooting in London, that James Spader is Ultron and going to be the bad guy, and that we added Ms. [Elizabeth] Olsen [who will play the Scarlet Witch], but I don’t know what she’s doing, if she’s on the inside or the outside. I haven’t seen a script.”

I'm not sure what he means by "on the inside or the outside." Does that mean he's saying she's not confirmed yet? Or that he doesn't know if Scarlet Witch is in S.H.I.E.L.D.? Whichever, she was one of the actresses rumored for the role, so it certainly is plausible that she might have actually landed it. Saoirse Ronan had also been considered a frontrunner, but there have been all kinds of talk about her reading for a role in "Star Wars VII." There's nothing definite there yet, but when Jackson is ready to comment on that movie's casting, we'll let you know. Anyway, surprise, Marvel and Disney publicists! Hope you had a happy Wednesday. By the way, we should note that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has long been rumored to play Scarlet Witch's brother Quicksilver, but Jackson didn't have anything to say about that. Unfortunately. "Avengers: Age of Ultron" opens in May 2015.

Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg To Direct Untitled Sex Comedy

kanderson — Thu, 03 Oct 13 10:40:50 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22137" align="aligncenter" width="424" caption="This is what the movie Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg are directing will not be titled."][/caption] If you clicked on this post, all I can do is say congratulations and offer my heartfelt thanks, because this is not the most enticing title I've ever come up with. At this point I can only conclude that you are either a) a hardcore Hollywood newshound b) interested in anything where the word "sex" is mentioned or c) welcome, Hurwitz and Schlossberg family members. On to the news: Deadline reports that Good Universe has selected Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg to direct a script by Brian and Jim Kehoe once titled "Cherries," currently in title limbo. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will do a rewrite of the script about "three fathers who are determined to prevent their daughters from making good on a pact to lose their virginity on prom night." It's funny how Hollywood love to greenlight these scripts about middle-aged white guys when they're some of the least reliable moviegoers out there. Point Grey’s Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver will produce along with Hurwitz and Schlossberg and DMG Entertainment’s Chris Fenton. Hurwitz and Schlossberg wrote all three of the "Harold and Kumar" movies, and directed "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay."

Calendar Alert! "Ted 2" Gets June 15th Release Date

kanderson — Thu, 03 Oct 13 10:16:11 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22133" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Ted will be back on June 26, 2015. Will Mark Wahlberg be with him?"][/caption] Have you been wondering what everyone's favorite foulmouthed teddy bear is up to? (Or if not favorite foul-mouthed teddy bear, well, really the only one we know about.) Whether you have or not, you surely are wondering all about the summer release schedule for summer 2015, and that's how this all comes together. Universal Pictures has announced that "Ted 2" will be released on June 26th. Seth MacFarlane will write, direct, and play Ted again; no word whether Mark Wahlberg will be back. So far there's nothing else scheduled for that date, but the month of June that year includes the "Assassin's Creed" movie and "Jurassic World." May has "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and July has "Batman/Superman" movie, "Minions," and "Ant-Man." It's shaping up to be a big summer. MacFarlane just worked on "A Million Ways To Die In The West," writing, directing, and starring as usual. That will be out in 2014. And of course, he still has "Family Guy" going.

Kris Jenner Flirts With Her Daughters' Guys

Misty — Wed, 02 Oct 13 18:17:30 +0000

Kris Jenner, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian all cover this week's copy of In Touch Weekly. This week, the magazine makes the not so unusual claim that Kris has been keeping busy by flirting with all of her daughters' guys. Seems legit. Kris' sister Karen is spilling her guts to the magazine about all of Kris' shenanigans and they aren't that nice. Would you want your famewhore mother flirting with your husband or boyfriend? Of course, Karen also talks about how high Lamar was during their Thanksgiving dinner. In addition to that, there's a tidbit on how Kris has formed some kind of strange relationship with O.J. Simpson -- even though he's currently in jail. Lastly, the magazine perpetuates the rumors that Bruce Jenner is seeking the advice of a divorce lawyer. With all of that flirting going around, who could blame the guy?

Kate Middleton & Prince William Working On Baby Number Two

Misty — Wed, 02 Oct 13 18:13:38 +0000

Now that Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William are moving into their new home with their son Prince George, rumors are making the rounds that the royal couple are looking to have baby number two! Kate and William are featured on this week's cover of Us Weekly magazine where they are apparently discussing the idea of giving little Georgie a sibling! Perhaps a princess? They already have two nurseries, so it would only make sense that they are likely to have a sibling for George pretty quickly so that they will be close in age. It makes sense, don't you think? If they were to have another child, what do you think they would name it?

Did Kim Kardashian Have Plastic Surgery?

Misty — Wed, 02 Oct 13 18:10:22 +0000

Is Kim Kardashian's new body the result of a lot of hard work hitting the gym -- or did she take the easy way out and have a metric ton of plastic surgery? That is the question posed by the latest copy of OK! magazine and it has us wondering, as well. Surely, she could have lost some weight after giving birth to her first child with rapper Kanye West. It's normal for first-time mothers to lose a lot of the baby weight. But -- when you're as big as Kim was during her pregnancy, there is some doubt as to her methods of weight loss. The tabloid speculates that Kim lost the weight after having $100,000 worth of plastic surgery. She sure didn't get anything done to that ginormous butt except have it injected with more fat. What do you think?

People Magazine: Where's Meg Ryan Now?

Misty — Wed, 02 Oct 13 18:04:02 +0000

Meg Ryan became known in the nineties for being the romantic comedy queen. With hit movies like Sleepless In Seattle, You've Got Mail and I.Q., she quickly became America's sweetheart. Since, she has humbled herself and is living somewhat off of the grid, by Hollywood standards, of course. People magazine's latest issue talks about why Meg left the Hollywood life behind her in favor of something less public. From their report:

Today, she is rarely in front of the camera and does her best not to be recognized, whether summering on Martha's Vineyard or tooling around her downtown Manhattan neighborhood. At 51, the onetime queen of romantic comedies has largely retreated from Hollywood, preferring instead to focus on her life with her 8-year-old daughter, Daisy, and her boyfriend, rocker John Mellencamp, 61. Living in New York "makes you different," her friend, writer Delia Ephron, tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "Los Angeles is just about movies. New York is about so much more than that, and so is Meg."

She's busy living in New York, shacking up with John Mellencamp. Who could blame her? Hollywood will chew you up and spit you out in no time.

Farrah Abraham Only Made $10,000 From Her Sex Tape

Misty — Wed, 02 Oct 13 16:58:00 +0000

It looks like Farrah Abraham is a liar liar pants on fire. When she first started babbling on about her sex tape with porn star James Deen, she said that she scored a cool million dollars from it. Now, we've learned the truth. Farrah only made roughly $10,000 to do the deed! Oh the humanity! Adult industry insiders say that the teen mom moron got "$10,000 up-front and 30 percent of sales, minus the cost of production." Remember those photos floating around of her sitting in a Lamborghini? Perhaps that was a mere rental? She made it look like she was buying that sucker, but $10,000 won't get you far when it comes to a really nice car. Either way, she's a moron. She probably made more from the bikini that she tried to sell on eBay for the porn tape's cover. Her daughter will be so proud growing up. There is no way that anyone could shield that poor kid from this nonsense when she gets older and realizes what's going on. We feel for her.

Sneak Screening of "Captain Phillips" This Saturday.

kanderson — Wed, 02 Oct 13 11:26:35 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22130" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="See "Captain Phillips" this weekend!"][/caption] "Captain Phillips," the based on a true story movie from Paul Greengrass with Tom Hanks in the title role, opened to raves at the New York Film Festival last week and is set to open nationally on Friday October 11th. Can't wait? Well, Columbia Pictures has announced that they will have a sneak preview of the movie this Saturday in over 800 theaters. Check here on Fandango to see if it's playing near you. The film tells the true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. Captain Phillips is and based upon the book, "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea," by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty.

Lizzy Caplan To Star In "The Interview"

kanderson — Wed, 02 Oct 13 11:10:03 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22126" align="aligncenter" width="570" caption="Lizzy Caplan gets a trip to Vancouver."][/caption] Just the other day we heard all about "The Interview," the next project from the Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg/James Franco team, and now we have even more news about it. Deadline reports that Lizzy Caplan has landed the female role in the movie. "The Interview" is about "a talk show host and his producer, who find themselves out of their depths when they participate in a plot to assassinate the prime minister of North Korea." I have to say, I think that most people would be out of their depth in that situation. Caplan stars in the new Showtime series "Masters of Sex," which debuted this weekend. Caplan would play someone named "Agent Lacey." So she's either a law enforcement type or a talent agent with a peculiar manner of address. "The Interview" is set to film this fall in Vancouver, which is standing in for New York City and North Korea.

Fourth Narnia Film In The Works

kanderson — Wed, 02 Oct 13 10:22:48 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22123" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Narnia gets a new lease on movie life."][/caption] Good news for the many fans of the Narnia books! An adaptation of "The Silver Chair," the fourth book in the classic series by C.S. Lewis is in the works. Deadline say that a new production team has picked up the series after Walden Media, which filmed the first three books, let the rights expire. Now the Mark Gordon Company and the C.S. Lewis Company have made a deal for the books' film rights. Mark Gordon and Douglas Gresham, Lewis's stepson, are among the producers. Or maybe this isn't good news for Narnia fans--most seemed happy with "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" (2005), not so much with "Prince Caspian" (2008), and were very unhappy with "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (2010). Nevertheless, the three movies have combined to earn $1.6 billion "The Silver Chair" is one of the almost stand alone books in the series, with only one character, Eustace, who connects to the days of the first book's famous characters: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. It's also a very dark story, but it was probably my favorite book in the series. Do I have any reason to believe they might not muck it up? No. Could it be brilliant, giving new life to the series? Sure, why not. As always, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Ben Affleck Threatens To Cut Up Jennifer Garner's Credit Cards

Misty — Tue, 01 Oct 13 18:25:05 +0000

Apparently Jennifer Garner has a little problem with her spending! According to the latest reports, her hubby Ben Affleck might just end up cutting up her credit cards. And who could blame him if she's been busy spending, spending, spending! Jennifer was out with her seven-year-old daughter Violet when they stopped for gas in West Hollywood. When they went in to pay for the gas, Violet gave up the goods on her mother's spending habits. A source revealed, "So Jen swipes her card – but little Violet suddenly blurts to the attendant: ‘Daddy says he’s going to cut up all Mommy’s credit cards if she doesn’t stop spending so much!’" The source added, "The attendant, who’d recognized the star, choked back a laugh as Jennifer turned beet red and said, ‘Violet, you know Daddy was only joking!’" Or was he?!? Kids are such gems in that they repeat all of your personal private business to people you don't know. What else does little Violet tell complete strangers about her famous parents' business?

Did Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Get Married?

Misty — Tue, 01 Oct 13 18:19:22 +0000

Did Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt get married? That's the question on our minds after the latest reports surfaced that the duo have tied the knot. Angelina was said to be wearing some new bling on her wedding finger while doing some shopping in Bondi Beach, Australia over the weekend. She has already been wearing a gold ring on her ring finger since April. The ring was said to be from Brad's great-grandmother and is said to symbolize "their impending marriage". Reportedly, the duo acquired their marriage license in late February. That gave them 90 days to get their wedding all worked out. So, by that standard, it is very likely that they have tied the knot. It's about time that they get married already, don't you think? They've tortured Jennifer Aniston long enough, it's all overdue now.

Liam Hemsworth's New Girlfriend Is Trouble?

Misty — Tue, 01 Oct 13 18:08:55 +0000

After Miley Cyrus called it quits with Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, he began dating a Mexican soap star and singer by the name of Eiza Gonzalez. Now, we've learned that Eiza is actually nothing but trouble. Who knew?!? According to reports, Eiza was hospitalized for problems stemming from her eating disorders earlier this year. This doesn't seem to be a big deal, but the source also felt the need to mention that Eiza is also suffering from attention deficit disorder. The source said, "Liam has no idea what he’s getting into with Eiza. She’s a sweet girl, but she’s got all sorts of issues. In late June, the Mexican media ran stories that she was under the care of doctors for several days after a bout with bulimia that left her unconscious. Eiza has denied having an eating disorder, but this wasn’t the first time reports surfaced." Lastly, the source added, "Eiza is the wrong kind of girl for Liam to get involved with now. He needs to give it a rest." But she beats Miley by a long shot!

Kaley Cuoco Talks Ryan Sweeting Proposal

Misty — Tue, 01 Oct 13 17:48:18 +0000

Kaley Cuoco just recently got engaged to fiance Ryan Sweeting after they'd been dating for a mere three months. In fact, she had only called it quits with Henry Cavill right before she started seeing Ryan. Talk about a downgrade! Well, Kaley opened up about her newly announced engagement to tennis player Ryan. She said that the proposal was quite the surprise. It seems weird that she was excited about this so-called "amazing" proposal when we don't think that there's too much to fuss about. She said, "He actually started a little fight with me and threw me off. I was like, 'Oh my God, things aren't great.' He surprised me at the end of the night...he popped the ring out. It was amazing." She went on to say, "From day one I just knew immediately and it's been magic. We have all the same family friends. We grew up with the same people, we just never met. So I kind of feel that I've known him my whole life. I know that it seems a little crazy on paper, but it's what works for us." It does seem crazy, but that's probably because it is. What do you think?

Justin Bieber Was Carried Up The Great Wall Of China

Misty — Tue, 01 Oct 13 17:14:04 +0000

Justin Bieber is such a spoiled rotten brat that he couldn't even walk to the top of the Great Wall Of China. In fact, he is so spoiled that he had his bodyguards actually carry him up. You really can't make this stuff up, can you? In Touch Weekly reports:

Justin Bieber has been in Asia promoting his concert, and this act of snobbiness comes after he showed off his best behavior last week, giving away 30 Singapore concert tickets to children in a local orphanage. However, this behavior (y’know, looking like a brat while your multiple body guards literally carry you) is reminiscent of the exact behavior Miley warned Justin about.

Miley actually offered up some sound advice to the teen singer: take a break already!

"Madame Bovary" Adds Marshall-Green, Carmichael, Gourmet

[caption id="attachment_22119" align="aligncenter" width="349" caption="Logan Marshall-Green gets a trip to France."][/caption] I bet you woke up this morning and thought, "Hey, I wonder what's up with that new adaptation of the classic Flaubert novel 'Madame Bovary?'" You know, the one that will be directed by Sophie Barthes and starring Mia Wasikowska. Wait, what? That wasn't on your mind today? Well, let's put it there. Deadline reports that Logan Marshall-Green, Laura Carmichael, and Olivier Gourmet have been added to the cast. Ezra Miller, Paul Giamatti, Rhys Ifans, and Henry Lloyd-Hughes were already set to star along Wasikowska. If you didn't read it in high school or college, here's "Madame Bovary" in super brief. Beautiful Emma thinks marriage to a financially solid doctor is her escape from farm life, but she quickly realizes that the middle-class world isn't for her, and longs for the glamor of 19th century high society. She embarks on a series of affairs. It doesn't end well. Nineteenth century novels didn't usually allow female adulterers to have happy endings. Marshall-Green will play the Marquis who throws a ball that the Bovary's attend, whetting Emma's appetite for luxury and romance. Gourmet will play Roualt and Carmichael will play Henrietta, two characters who I don't really remember. Time to read it again, I suppose. Marshall-Green is in James Franco's "As I Lay Dying," which played at Cannes. He'll next be seen in "Cold Comes the Night" with Bryan Cranston and Alice Eve. Carmichael stars in "Downton Abbey" as Lady Edith, one of my favorites. Filming is set to begin this week in Normandy.

Brad Furman To Direct Movie About Muscle Mogul Weider Brothers

kanderson — Tue, 01 Oct 13 10:55:15 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22116" align="aligncenter" width="436" caption="The men behind the pumping ironers."][/caption] "Pumping Iron" was a hit documentary in the '70s, and the doc "Generation Iron" is doing well in theaters right now. So why not a feature film about how the whole muscle and bodybuilding movement got started? Why not indeed? Deadline reports that Brad Furman will direct "Bigger," a movie about Ben and Joe Weider, pioneers of the bodybuilding movement. He'll also write the script. Steve Lee Jones and his Bee Holder Productions have optioned the rights to the Weider brothers’ life story and "Brothers of Iron," the 2006 book about the siblings. Anyone who's ever been in a gym probably knows the name Weider. The movie will "chronicle their journey from dirt-poor sons of Jewish immigrants battling anti-Semitism to the owners of an international health and fitness empire. The Weider family business grew to include a supplements line, fitness magazines, and the Mr. Olympia, Ms. Olympia, and Masters Olympia bodybuilding contests." Joe Weider died in March at 93 and Ben Weider died in 2008. Eric Weider, presumably one of the family, is listed as one of the legions of producers. I don't know if I like the title "Bigger." though. That makes me think we're going to see a movie about Tom Hanks's cranky son, who wishes he was a grown up. Furman's "Runner Runner" opens this Friday. Considering that movie's poor prospects, it's understandable that he would want to move on to something else.

Welcome to the Disney Villain Product Line:Cruella de Vil Gets a Movie

kanderson — Tue, 01 Oct 13 10:21:00 +0000

[caption id="attachment_22113" align="aligncenter" width="431" caption="Disney wants to make a movie about puppy assassin Cruella de Vil."][/caption] Apparently out of princesses, Disney now seems to be all in on the villain business. Next summer we'll see Angelina Jolie starring as "Maleficent," a story about the evil fairy who makes life tough for Sleeping Beauty. Now The Hollywood Reporter says that Disney is planning a feature film built around Cruella de Vil, the villain of "101 Dalmatians." Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote Disney's upcoming live action "Cinderella," will write the script. Glenn Close, who had a great time playing Cruella de Vil in the 1996 live action version of "101 Dalmations," is said to be executive producing. There's no word on the storyline. Good luck to them with it. Maleficent's one thing--she's a fairy who gets angry and puts a sleeping curse on a girl--a curse that has an out that can wake her up. You can imagine some way to come up with a back story about why she's so cranky, what she used to be like, etc., etc. Cruella de Vil wants to capture puppies and turn them into fur coats. Let me repeat that. SHE WANTS TO TURN PUPPIES INTO FUR COATS!!!! I can't imagine any way that you can make her a protagonist. If they want to keep her on the villain path, where she is involved with some other kind of evil scheme that is foiled by others, okay. But make her a sympathetic character? Good luck.

Breaking Bad bids farewell - Were you happy with the finale?

Angela — Mon, 30 Sep 13 21:44:45 +0000

Needless to say this post will contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen the series finale of "Breaking Bad", no really, don't read on if you're not up to date. Right, got it, here we go… Holy crap bitches, that episode was off the hook! How much could the writers of "Dexter" have learned from the writers of "Breaking Bad"? THAT is how you do a series finale. First up we got all the loose ends tied up, we got redemption for some, a final hurrah for others and of course those we know deserved a dirt nap, were put to sleep forever. The finale was - for all intents and purposes - superb, sure Walt never got a 'happy' ending, but that would have been weird "hey Walt, your cancer is gone, you're going to be okay, Skylar still loves you and for turning states evidence you're free… huzzah!!". Instead we got true closure and Walter White gained something he'd wanted all along, peace. Farewell "Breaking Bad", you were and always will remain, amazing…. Bitches!

CBS renews Unforgettable for third season

Angela — Mon, 30 Sep 13 21:41:52 +0000

Well this is a turn up for the books, procedural drama series "Unforgettable" has been renewed for a third season. You may recall the series was actually cancelled by CBS and they started shopping the show to other networks, only for it to be picked up again by the network. Now "Unforgettable" has gained a third season thanks to some pretty sweet ratings for the present season, which hovered around the 8 million mark for the most part. Actors Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh must be pretty happy with this, given the bumpy road it's traveled since it started.

BBC's Jamaica Inn snags Jessica Brown Findlay for lead

Angela — Mon, 30 Sep 13 21:37:51 +0000

"Downton Abbey" star Jessica Brown Findlay has just nabbed the lead in "Jamaica Inn". The three-part project is based on the 1936 gothic novel "Jamaica Inn", with the adaption coming to us via "The White Queen" scribe Emma Frost. The story of "Jamaica Inn" is set in the 1820's and follows Mary Yellan (Brown Findlay), a young, spirited woman who is sent to live with her aunt in the eerie "Jamaica Inn" with her aunt (played by the rather enchanting Joanne Whalley) and her aunts domineering husband (played by Sean Harris).

Modern Family spin-off series on the books at ABC

Angela — Mon, 30 Sep 13 21:34:56 +0000

Amazingly this hasn't come up earlier, but ABC are finally looking at a spin-off series to hit show "Modern Family". There's not a whole lot of information about said spin-off at the moment, but it will probably center on real estate character Gil Thorpe, who guest starred previously. With quite a few of the "Modern Family" writers and executive producers rumored to be aboard with bringing the new spin-off to life, there's no reason to think this won't actually be good. What do you think?

Big Brother Australia rumours of brawl not true says Nine Network

Angela — Mon, 30 Sep 13 21:32:47 +0000

Social media channels were ablaze over the weekend with rumors security had been sent into the "Big Brother" house and removed one of the 'intruders', most notably, house mate Justynn. The rumors suggested Justynn had gotten into a fight with regular housemate Ed and been removed for safety reasons. Due to the trending nature of the rumors, executive producer Alex Mavroidakis released a statement saying it was hogwash: “Nobody involved with the show started or fueled this ridiculous story, and since it became more than just your run of the mill rumor, I’ve responded". Rumors are still spilling over though, with some suggesting tonights intruder eviction is a cover story for the alleged fracas. What do you think?

Amanda Bynes Trades Hospitalization For Rehab

Misty — Mon, 30 Sep 13 17:08:22 +0000

Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has reportedly been checked into rehab for her troubles after leaving the hospital. She had been staying at the Malibu facility The Canyon for the past three weeks after being discharged from the UCLA Medical Center. It was there that she was held on a 5150 psychiatric hold and getting treatment for her medical issues. It all began when she was committed after setting fire to an elderly woman's driveway in Thousand Oaks, California. She also doused her dog with gas and set her own pants on fire briefly. She is said to be "still in a desperate state" and snitches close to the actress are worried that she isn't being given the correct treatment. A source said, "She interacts with people very little and rarely leaves the area where she's living. Amanda is not wearing her wig and is paranoid the paparazzi will find her." A previous source revealed, "There are no drug problems involved, it's all mental. She has deep anger and PTSD, which tripped a psychotic episode. She is very ill, but manageable. Amanda genuinely wants to get better and has wanted to get better for some time." Let's hope that it's not too late for her to actually get better and stay better!

Lindsay Lohan's Parents Banned From Reality Show

Misty — Mon, 30 Sep 13 17:01:58 +0000

Lindsay Lohan has been in the middle of filming a reality show for Oprah's OWN network recently. Reportedly, the show is said to be about Lindsay's big comeback. Apparently, everyone around her thinks that her parents are bad news for her recovery. Shocker, right? She has already signed the $2 million deal with Oprah to make the eight-part documentary on her career. Producers of the show have decided not to use any footage of her parents, Michael and Dina Lohan. Producers at OWN are keen on losing the footage of the "Lohan family circus" and despite them taping some footage of Michael, they will have nothing else to do with the show. Oprah talked about talking to Lindsay about her involvement in the show. She said, "I went to her house just to say, 'What are you doing? Let's get real here.' And ... 'This is what's conflicting about it.' Because it's television and we stand to gain if it does well. I said, 'If I get here and Lindsay isn't serious, I will shut this thing down today.'" It's her show AND her money, so she can basically do whatever she likes!

Miley Cyrus Is Not Pregnant, Despite Reports

Misty — Mon, 30 Sep 13 16:58:19 +0000

Despite what you may have heard, former Disney queen Miley Cyrus is not pregnant! Rumors were flying around stating that right after Miley called things off with Liam Hemsworth, she got knocked up by a rapper named Juicy J. She took to her Twitter account to talk about the news. She said, "waking up to the news that I'm now pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby." She went on to say, "Me: 'did you know I'm pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby this morning' @CheyneThomas : 'what are you gonna name it?' Me: 'Juicy J Jr DUH". She is such a hillbilly, isn't she? It's a good thing that Liam stopped paying any attention to her shenanigans. The source added, "He's not paying attention to Miley and all their drama anymore. He doesn't see the point because they're done, his focus is on work and his future and he's very busy with this movie. It's a demanding role and he's not going to let any drama get him off track." Can you blame him?

Kim Kardashian Sad About Leaving Daughter For Paris

Misty — Mon, 30 Sep 13 16:55:48 +0000

Kim Kardashian wants everyone to think that she actually feels bad about leaving her daughter to jet off to Paris, France with her boyfriend Kanye West. She may actually feel badly about it, considering that having a baby isn't exactly a hardship for her. She left with Kanye to run off to Paris and left baby North with Kris Jenner in Los Angeles. A source said, "Kim really wanted to take Nori to Paris but Kanye insisted that it wasn’t a good idea because of his issues with photographers." But we thought that photographers in France were more courteous to celebrities. The source said, "He thought it was too dangerous. He also wanted Kim all to himself for a few days. He said they needed to spend time together as a couple away from her family. Kim had wanted to continue breast feeding for another two months. She considered taking a breast pump with her to Paris and having either an assistant flying the milk back to L.A. or shipping it back by FedEx. Kanye thought that was ludicrous, and as usual he got his way." Heh. The source added, "Kanye has set up multiple meetings with Chanel, Celine and Givenchy to design a new post pregnancy wardrobe for Kim. He thinks this is a prime opportunity for her to re-vamp her image." She'll need more than that to revamp her image. Perhaps they can try and wipe her sex tape off of the internet?

Breaking Bad's Season Finale: Fitting?

Misty — Mon, 30 Sep 13 16:52:55 +0000

Were you one of the many, many people who watched the series finale of AMC's hit show Breaking Bad? If so, what were your thoughts? As fans of the show, we would have to say that the ending was quite fitting for the characters. It basically left very few questions unanswered. Warning, there are spoilers ahead for the series finale of the show. Please come back after you've seen Felina. Walt made his way back into town and his first stop was Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz. Instead of taking them out, he gives them his millions in cash. He instructs them to give his money to his son Walt Jr. when he turns 21. With a raise of his hand, one red dot are on each of them. He explains that he has hired the best hitmen to take them out if they don't follow through with his wishes. Later, he goes to see Lydia and Todd to try to convince them not to use methylamine in favor of his new plan. They basically ignore him and he leaves. He visits Skyler to give her a proper goodbye and sees his daughter Holly one last time. Later, we see Walt rigging some machine gun timer for his car. Then, he goes to visit uncle Jack and the crew under the guise of new business. He's frisked and then accuses Jack of partnering up with Jesse in making the blue meth. Jack parades Jesse out in front of Walt and he's shackled. Just then, Walt tackles him to the floor and hits his alarm, causing the place to be sprayed with bullets. Everyone dies in the warehouse except for Todd and Jack, until Jesse strangles Todd with his shackles. Then, we see Jack taking a last hit of a cigarette before pleading for his life in exchange for Walt's money. Walt hesitates to let him puff the cigarette, but then shoots him. Afterward, Walt kicks the gun over to Jesse to shoot him, but Jesse won't. Instead, he grabs a car and leaves maniacally fast. Walt took a shot of gunfire before tackling Jesse and he checks out the meth lab of which Jesse was using. He smiles - and dies.
