Cynthia Nixon Lands A Miniseries With A Big Budget!!!

2011-06-29T10:02:00.000+08:00

Hell yeah, she's one of the most under-rated actresses of our time!!!

Sex And The City's Cynthia Nixon seems to be having a good run of it these days. Just a few months after her partner, Christine Marinoni, gave birth to the couples baby boy, Max Nixon-Marinoni, Cynthia has landed herself a role in a new Starz miniseries by the name of World Without End!!!

This $44 million production will also star the likes of Miranda Richardson and Ben Chaplin, with it's premise being:

"Set in England 200 years after the events in Pillars, World chronicles tough times for ordinary citizens who are being hit with enormous taxes by the King, the Church as England teeters on the brink of a devastating 100-year war with France, and Europe is bracing for a terrible plague, which will wipe out a third of the continent's population."
"The mini centers on Caris, a visionary woman who, with her lover Merthin, builds a community that stands up to the Crown and the Church."

Sounds interesting to say the least. Cynthia will not be playing the lead role, but we're sure whoever she is in the series, she'll blow us away!!!

Goodluck girl!!!

Buffy and Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg will be making a 2 episode guest-star appearance in Weeds upcoming 7th season as a love interest for Silas and a rival dealer for Nancy, what else!!!

The only shame in this news is that she will only be on the show for two episodes, no one plays bad like Michelle, they should give her more time to be really bad!!!

The Toys Are Back In Town, For A Fourth Time!!!

2011-06-28T15:16:00.000+08:00

A fourth movie might be spreading the franchise a little thin, I mean, look at Shrek!!!!!!!

But never-the-less, Sheriff Woody himself, Tom Hanks, has recently come forth and told us all that there will indeed be a Toy Story 4.

When asked by the BBC News if there will be a Toy Story 4 for his grand-daughter to watch, Hanks replied:

"I think there will be yeah. Yeah, yeah, think they're working on it now. There you go."

Exciting!!!! As long as they don't mess it up like with Cars 2, mind you Toy Story 3 was awesome so we'll just wait and see fellow readers.

A Gay Marriage Proposal At A Kylie Concert... How Appropriate!!!

2011-06-27T08:43:00.001+08:00

And it was soooooooo lovely too!!!!!!!

Last Wednesday, my two dads attended the Kylie's Aphrodite Concert in Perth, Western Australia, and were delighted to see a beautiful display of emotion unfold on-stage halfway through.

Kylie stopped her concert to pull two men on-stage, Ben and Scott, who were there celebrating their 9th anniversary, when Ben popped the question on Scott!!!!! Happily, the outcome was positive, and the love from the crowd was palpable.

Check this YouTube video of it all unfolding above!!!

We wish them both all the happiness in the world!!!

New Stills From The Hobbit Released!!!

2011-06-24T09:28:00.000+08:00

OH. MY. GANDALF!!!!!!!!

Some new stills from The Hobbit have just been released (care of Entertainment Weekly), and they look great!!!!!!

Peter Jackson is directing again (who else), as The Hobbit tells the tales of Frodo's uncle Bilbo Baggins and his early years, so as to be a prequel to The Lord Of The Rings films.

Sir Ian McKellan has taken up the role of Gandalf yet again, and Martin Freeman is playing a younger Bilbo Baggins. Peter had this to say about Martin's work on the film:

”He fits the ears, and he's got some very nice feet,. I think he's got the biggest hobbit feet we've had so far. They're a little bit hard to walk in, but he's managed to figure out the perfect hobbit gait.”

We are soooooo excited about this film!!!!!!!

Check out some more pics after the jump....

Footloose Remake Trailer Hits The Web!!!

2011-06-24T09:16:00.000+08:00

And it looks positively awful!!!!!!!!

Kevin Bacon must be thrilled he didn't sign-up to cameo in this tripe!!!!

Never-the-less, check out the new Footloose reboot trailer above, and see how Hollywood is ruining yet another classic for the new generation!!!

Jamie Foxx Is Tarantino's Django!!!

2011-06-24T09:11:00.000+08:00

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Urgh, we can't stand this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, in all fairness, he can be a good actor AT TIMES!!!!! But most of his movies suck!!!!! But then again, we're not a big Kurt Russell fan and he rocked it in Death Proof, so we'll give Quentin the benefit of the doubt with this casting choice....

As reported earlier, Will Smith was in the running for the lead of Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, but sadly turned it down, leaving the lead role open for Jamie Foxx to take over.

So here's what we know so far:

Foxx will play the title role of Django, a freed slave who teams with a German bounty hunter to take on an evil plantation owner in order to retrieve his long-lost love, Broomhilda. Kerry Washington, who played opposite Foxx in "Ray," has met with Tarantino for the latter role; she's one of a handful of contenders in the mix. Leonardo DiCaprio has been set as the sadistic slavemaster Calvin Candie, while Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" star Christoph Waltz will play Django's friend and mentor. Samuel L. Jackson is expected to play Stephen, Candie's right-hand man.

No matter the lead casting choice, or the fact that his surname is unnecessarily spelt with two x's, we will of course be looking forward to this one as we have with all Quentin's films!!!

True Blood's Season 5 May Be It's Last!!!

2011-06-24T08:54:00.001+08:00

Oh say it isn't so!!!!!!!!!!!

True Blood creator Alan Ball is still in negotiations for season 5, just as season 4 begins, however he says he may not have anymore seasons in him after that:

“I don’t know if I have any left in me after that. We’ll see .. I think if we did 13 seasons we’d have to address why vampires are aging. Maybe there would be a bad batch of Tru Blood. … With the supernatural thing you can always go places storywise that you couldn’t go on another show.”

Yeah, so, go with that storyline then........ WE NEED OUR NAME-SAKE TO BE AROUND FOREVER!!!!!!!!

However, in saying that, we don't want it to be one of those series that out-stays it's welcome, so maybe an early wrap up might do it justice. Hmmmm, stay tuned.

New Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes!!!

2011-06-24T08:39:00.000+08:00

And it looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!

We had our reservations about this movie, especially after the god-awful Marky Mark reboot a few years back, but this one looks really good.... Possibly even heart-breaking!!!!!!!!

Check it out above, are you excited???

Spider-Man Reboot Sparks New A-List Love!!!

2011-06-24T08:25:00.000+08:00

It seems Peter Parker got Gwen Stacey caught in his web..... ewww!!!

The new Spider-Man film, The Amazing Spider-Man, seems to have been a set filled with blossoming romance between it's two young leads.

New Cast Member For True Blood Revealed!!!

2011-06-22T14:42:00.000+08:00

And he's yummy too!!!!!!!!!

Read who it is after the jump, but be warned: *SPOILER ALERT!!!*

That's right, it's the very hunky Scott Foley, star of Felicity and Grey's Anatomy!!!

Apparently Scott is set to make his mark on the highly anticipated fourth season of the popular series in it's final episode, so we have to wait a while before we see him. But do not despair fellow readers, True Blood has gotten so much hype over this season that it's bound to be renewed for a fifth, and that's where Scott's character will really get his claws into the show..... Or fangs, or pixie dust, or whatever new creature comes along, I can't keep up.

Scott will play and army vet friend to Todd Lowe's character Terry, and will go by the name of Patrick. That's all we know about his involvement so far, but as always, stay tuned for more info as we get it.

Oh and you Grey's fans don't fret, Scott's team has prepared his schedule in such a manner that he WILL still be appearing in the 8th season of Grey's Anatomy too.

Busy boy, lucky us!!!!!!!!!

Green Mile and Lost star marries 16-year-old girl; he's 51!!!

2011-06-21T12:33:00.000+08:00

And they have her mother's consent, as legally required too!!!

We always thought relatively unknown actor Doug Hutchison was kind of creepy, playing a yellow-eyed killer in The X Files and that jerk prison guard in The Green Mile, but now we know for sure!!!

His new 16-year-old wife, Courtney Stodden, is an ex-beauty queen, and her mother had this to say about the couples nuptials:

"We are totally supportive of this marriage. Doug is a wonderful man and we love him."

"Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl... She is a beautiful girl. She has real breasts, real lips, she's not plastic."

Ummmmm, awkward much!!!

If you check out the photo's of Courtney below you might doubt how un-plastic she is. But in her defence, with all that makeup on she barely looks 16 anyways, more like 38 to us....

Goodluck to them.......

Weird Al Yonkovic Channels Lady Gaga In Perform This Way Song & Video!!!

2011-06-21T12:22:00.000+08:00

And it's really well done, and funny!!!

Excuse our surprised tone, but we're not normally amused by Weird Al Yankovic and his comedy stylings, so maybe it's just that he's taking the piss out of our queen Lady Gaga or not, but his latest parody song and video, Perform This Way, is really cool.

Check it out in all it's glory above.

Glee Kids To Graduate In Season 3!!!

2011-06-21T09:18:00.000+08:00

But.... Then...... Like...... Who's going to takeover the roles of Highschool Glee Clubbers?????

Glee's creator Ryan Murphy was asked that very same question lately, and here's how he responded:

“This next [season] will be their senior year, and then that [they] will graduate. We didn’t want to have a show where they were in high school for eight years. We really wanted to be true to that experience.”

“There’s a couple rumors floating around, that half the cast is go to be replaced by the winner of The Glee Project, which is not true."

We've already read that show favourite Lea Michele (who plays diva Rachel Barry) will refuse to leave the show even after her character graduates, so it could be interesting to see just how some of our favourite Glee kids stay on, and who will be the new generation???

Jackass Star Ryan Dunn Dies In Car Accident!!!

2011-06-21T09:08:00.000+08:00

So sad......

Reports have come in over the last 24 hours that Jackass favourite Ryan Dunn has died in a car accident, in which he was driving whilst under the influence of alcohol.

His un-named passenger has also sadly passed in the accident. It's such a shame that he wasn't more responsible before getting behind the wheel of a car, such a tragic and unnecessary loss of life!!!

Our condolences go out to his friends, family and loved ones.

Rebecca Black Ain't Charging For Friday, She's Already Made Bank!!!

2011-06-21T08:54:00.000+08:00

We've gotta hand it to her, Friday's will never be the same again.........

Although her decision to pull her infamous video off of YouTube might change all that!!! It seems Rebecca Black wasn't happy with her record companies, Ark Music Factory (AMF), decision to charge a hire fee of $2.99 for the video, so she yanked it out from under their feet and out of YouTube's grasps. AMF's response:

"We’re disappointed, having been in good faith negotiations with Rebecca Black and her representatives for months regarding any open issues. There’s been an ongoing, open dialogue with our company. So we were blindsided to get a Take Down Notice, with no notice, alleging copyright infringement instead of a call or email from Rebecca’s representatives. We are going to continue to take the high road and work out the complaint as soon as possible."

But Black feels she did it for her listeners, who don't deserve to be charged to listen to her music. Easy for her to say, reports are that she's already made SIX FIGURES from the song and video through online sales and endorsement deals alone. What does $2.99 matter when your a millionaire at 14 years old!!!!!!!!

You gotta get down on Friday.......

OMG!!! YouTube's Chris Crocker Got Hot And Does Porn Now!!!

2011-06-20T13:44:00.000+08:00

Okay, we're finding this really hard to believe, mostly because we fail to see the similarities between the girly-boy that we all know to be Chris Crocker, and the hunk-o-spunk that is supposedly him nowadays!!!!

But apparently, it's true!!!!!!!!!

Talk about a change for the better!!!!! The YouTube star, made infamous for his "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" video, has lost the blond feminine locks, packed the make-up away, let the stubble grow and got a little bit sexy.

We are just too stunned for words, never since Michael Jackson's transition from black to plastic have we been so stunned by such a make-over. Only this one looks great!!!

Apparently, Chris has also been tapped on the shoulder by legendary gay adult film director Chi Chi LaRue, to star in some "adult erotica" after he posted nude photos of himself online.

Seems like his career just keeps going up (pun intended)........

Lady Gaga Sings Hair Live..... Sans Hair!!!

2011-06-19T21:33:00.000+08:00

Yet another new look, and once again, it's fab as only Gaga can be!!!!!!!!

Lady Gaga recently took to the stage at The Paul O'Grady Show, with one of her performances being a beautiful version of her hit Hair.

The only catch, she sang it, with no hair...... On her head at least!!!!!! The rest of her piano was covered in the stuff, along with her now famous new aqua locks too!!!!

Soooo lovely, and soooo Gaga!!!!!

First Look At Tom Cruise In Rock Of Ages!!!

2011-06-19T21:29:00.000+08:00

Holy rock and roll Batman!!!!!!!!!

The first image of Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx from his new movie, Rock of Ages, has just been released, and as you can see, it looks true to it's title so far.

We don't normally like Tom Cruise, but he looks awesome in this pic, both physically and as a rock and roll legend!!!!!

We can't wait to see some stills of the other cast members from the film. You like his new look???

Hugh Jackman Is Les Miserables!!!

2011-06-19T21:23:00.000+08:00

Nobody better comes to mind if you ask us!!!

Spunky Aussie superstar Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in Tom Hooper's film adaptation of the musical Les Miserables as Jean Valjean.

Not much in the way of details on the project are available, just that Hugh has been made as the first casting choice, now with issues as to who is perfect enough to play opposite him being the main focus at current.

WE WILL WE WILL!!!!!!!! Lol
