Pearl Jam Rocks Bonnaroo for 3 Hours

2008-06-15T06:42:00.000-07:00

MANCHESTER, Tenn. (June 14) - Pearl Jam wowed the Bonnaroo crowd with a three-hour performance late Saturday night, returning the band to the grand stage of a music festival.In the midst of their concert - which went almost an hour longer than scheduled - lead singer Eddie Vedder acknowledged that the band thought they might never again play such a show - and "with good reason." In the summer of 2000, nine fans were trampled during Pearl Jam's performance at Denmark's Roskilde Festival - an experience that shook the band.

There were no mishaps at Bonnaroo, though, and Vedder's faith in festivals appeared to be restored."After seeing B.B. King and Jack Johnson and Cat Power, it makes you realize how it can work and be really ... great," Vedder said, referring to acts that played earlier Saturday. Pearl Jam also played Lollapalooza last year.If he wasn't already, Vedder appeared completely converted to the joys of mega festivals when the band played "Better Man." The audience sang along and lifted lighters in the air, and only then did Vedder realize how large the crowd was. He muttered, "That's ... beautiful."Pearl Jam was the main stage headliner Saturday at the annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which is held on a giant 700-acre site south of Nashville. Kanye West was to play a glow-in-the-dark set beginning at 2:45 a.m. Sunday.The Friday night bill was led by comedian Chris Rock, who was followed by Metallica. Though the heavy metal band played a generally admired set, the Pearl Jam audience seemed larger and arguably more enthusiastic.

Metallica, Chris Rock Open Bonnaroo

2008-06-14T12:31:00.000-07:00

MANCHESTER, Tenn. (June 14) - Bonnaroo began in earnest Friday with the rarest of double bills: Chris Rock followed by Metallica.

Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett introduced Rock, and the comedian in turn introduced who he called "the baddest ... band in the world." Both acts were unlikely fare for the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which began in 2002 as primarily a jam band event.

Nicole Kidman Reportedly Quits Films

2008-01-07T12:08:00.000-08:00

Further fanning the flames of Nicole Kidman pregnancy rumors, the Oscar-winning actress has reportedly dropped out of an upcoming film.

Page Six reports that Kidman, who's been denying pregnancy rumors over the last few weeks, has quit her role in Stephen Daldry's drama 'The Reader.' The report claims that because of Kidman's past miscarriages, she's taking extra precautions by dropping out of the film.

The post-WWII drama set in Germany was reportedly set to begin filming this month.

Just before the new year, Kidman shot down pregnancy rumors , with her rep saying: "It is incorrect ... she must have had about 30 babies by now."

A Page Six source begs to differ.

"Of course, everyone knows she's pregnant and lying about it," the insider said.

Has Tom Cruise officially become a burden at the box office?

2007-11-15T07:23:00.000-08:00

Tom Cruise's politically-charged 'Lions for Lambs' opened very weakly last weekend, and MSNBC is reporting that industry insiders think his upcoming movie may share the same fate. The MSNBC source claims that Cruise "isn't making money in the theaters anymore, and considering that just about every penny that a movie makes has to go back to the actor, it makes it really tough for any films to make any money."

'Valkyrie,' Cruise's film about a Nazi officer who plots to kill Adolf Hitler, had its trailer leak on the Internet last week, and it has been met with less-than-stellar buzz. Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blog wrote a post when the trailer leaked titled: Tom Cruise's 'Valkyrie' Looks Kinda Awful .

Demi Moore Needs A Lip Job

2007-11-11T00:07:00.000-08:00

Demi Moore seems to be suffering a severe deficit in the upper lip department. Even with the slash of red lipstick you can barely make out that upper lip.

The Hollywood actress has surely heard there are procedures for plumping up little lips. Conversely, we’ve seen some of those lip jobs go badly - which may be why Moore is living with what Mother Nature gave her.

Ashton Kutcher doesn’t seem to mind so maybe we’ll just let it go at that.

Drew Barrymore Rushes to the Dentist

I am not sure what is going on in this picture of Drew Barrymore. The talented actress is on the set of her current film Grey Gardens.

It looks to me like she has tied her mouth shut and is making a mad dash to the nearest dentist. The film is being shot in Uxbridge, Ontario.

"I went back to my table and said, 'The good news is, I met Kate Moss and she wanted my telephone number. The bad news is, I think she thinks I'm something to do with drainage.'"

Cut! Hollywood Writers Go on Strike

2007-11-05T11:18:00.001-08:00

Some 12,000 screenwriters went on strike against the U.S. film and television industry Monday after the collapse of last-ditch contract negotiations aimed at preserving nearly 20 years of Hollywood labor peace.

Ten hours of bargaining presided over by a federal mediator failed to close a deal before a strike deadline set last Friday by the Writers Guild of America, which has sought a greater share of DVD and Internet revenues for its members.
The initial impact of a strike for most of the public will be felt on television.

Popular late-night talk shows such as NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman," which are produced on a day-to-day basis and depend on a steady supply of topical jokes and sketches, were expected to go into immediate reruns.

Prime-time comedies such as the CBS hit "Two and a Half Men" and Kelsey Grammer's new Fox sitcom "Back to You" also are expected to be knocked out of production because they depend on a substantial amount of last-minute script rewrites.

Even as talks in Los Angeles had dragged on late on Sunday, the union's East Coast branch declared it was going ahead with the walkout at 12:01 a.m. EST, and the larger West Coast contingent joined the work stoppage three hours later.

The first picket lines went up outside General Electric Co.'s NBC television headquarters at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.

"I'm a member of the guild and I am here to support my fellow guild members," said actress and "Saturday Night Live" veteran Tina Fey, who currently stars on, writes and produces the NBC sitcom "30 Rock," a parody of the TV industry.

"This strike affects the show in which I work. We put our pens down yesterday, and we will not write until negotiations resume," she said.

Picketing outside NBC Studios in Burbank, California, "Tonight Show" head writer Joe Meceiros said, "There will be no 'Tonight Show' tonight."

"I'm disappointed the corporations didn't come to the table any more seriously than they did," he said. "None of us wanted a strike. We were driven to this. I'm fighting for the future of every writer."

NO NEW TALKS SCHEDULED

WGA picket lines were planned at more than a dozen sites around Los Angeles, including Walt Disney Co's studios, Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros Studios, Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures Studio, CBS Corp's CBS Television City, and News Corp's Fox Studios.

Celebrity Baby Boom - Christina Aguilera

2007-11-04T10:41:00.000-08:00

Christina Aguilera finally addressed one of the worst kept secrets in show biz.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, the pop diva confessed that she'll "enter into mommyhood" sometime next year, according to the BBC.

Aguilera told the magazine she intends to be a working mom, who like so many others will seek to "balance" her family and her career.

Luckily, she can count on husband Jordan Bratman for help. He's "so supportive and amazing through everything," she told the magazine. "He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system. ... I gush. I'm a lucky girl."

Pregnancy rumors had followed pop queen Christina Aguilera for months. In July, E! Online reported that the singer is expecting her first child.

Publicists for Aguilera and her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman, did not make any comments at the time.

Months ago, Page Six had reported that the songstress had been "telling friends" all about her baby news. Blogs have been making much of Aguilera breaking away from her usual skimpy fashions to wear bulkier clothing.

This will be the first child for Aguilera and Bratman, who wed in 2005.

'Prison Break' Star Gets 40 Months in Jail

2007-10-31T11:57:00.001-07:00

Former "Prison Break" actor Lane Garrison was sentenced to three years and four months in prison Wednesday for a drunken driving crash that killed a teenager last December.

The 27-year-old actor could have faced nearly seven years in prison.

Garrison was driving a 2001 Land Rover on Dec. 2 when he lost control and rammed a tree. The crash killed his passenger Vahagn Setian, a Beverly Hills High School student. Two 15-year-old girls in the car survived.

Garrison had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and was under the influence of cocaine, according to police.

The actor pleaded guilty in May to one count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, one count of driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent or higher and a misdemeanor of providing alcohol to a minor.

The Los Angeles County prosecutor's office has for four years and eight months, two years less than the maximum.

At his last court appearance Aug. 2, the actor apologized to the victim's family.

"I have relived that night every day and I think about the bad decisions I made. I can say to you I am so sorry that you lost someone because I love people. That is my first passion," he said.

'Saw IV' Cuts the Competition to Pieces

2007-10-28T20:43:00.000-07:00

The killer of the "Saw" franchise may be dead, but his sadistic spirit lives on. Lionsgate's "Saw IV" led the weekend box office with $32.1 million, maintaining the horror franchise's position as a Halloween perennial, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Saw IV

Debuting at No. 2 was Disney's "Dan in Real Life," a romance starring Steve Carell , Juliette Binoche and Dane Cook that took in $12.1 million.
Overall Hollywood revenues declined for the sixth-straight weekend, though business was off only a fraction compared to the same weekend last year. The top-12 movies took in $86.1 million, down 2 percent, better results than the previous weeks, when business had fallen significantly more.

The results for "Saw IV" were on par with the debut of "Saw III," which pulled in $33.6 million over the same weekend last year. Since the original low-budget "Saw" became an out-of-nowhere fright sensation in 2004, Lionsgate has released a new chapter each October, all hits.

"I would expect to see 'Saw V' next year, 'Saw VI' the year after that and 'Saw VII' the following year if they can keep it up," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "There's just something inherently gruesome and compelling about these movies. I don't know what that says about society in general, but it certainly works at the box office."

"Saw IV" features post-mortem horrors concocted by the fiendish killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell , seen in flashbacks), whose autopsy turns up a cassette tape in his entrails that leads the cops into a new snare of torture puzzles the madman left behind.

"Dan in Real Life" was the prime choice for the date crowd. The movie stars Carell as a widower raising three daughters who falls for his brother's new girlfriend (Binoche) during a family reunion.

In narrower release, Roadside Attractions' "Bella" opened solidly with $1.3 million. The film stars Eduardo Verastegui as a former soccer player who hooks up with a pregnant waitress (Tammy Blanchard).

Thinkfilm's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," directed by Sidney Lumet ("Dog Day Afternoon," ''Network"), opened strongly in limited release at two New York City theaters with $73,500. The film, which gradually expands into nationwide release through November, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke as brothers in financial straits who plot to rob their parents' jewelry store.

A high-profile documentary, Sony Pictures Classics' "Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains," had a poor debut, taking in just $10,573 at seven theaters. The film from director Jonathan Demme ("The Silence of the Lambs") follows the former president during a tour to promote his book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid."

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. "Saw IV," $32.1 million.

2. "Dan in Real Life," $12.1 million.

3. "30 Days of Night," $6.7 million.

4. "The Game Plan," $6.3 million.

5. "Tyler Perry 's Why Did I Get Married?", $5.7 million.

6. "Michael Clayton," $5 million.

7. "Gone Baby Gone," $3.9 million.

8. "The Comebacks," $3.45 million.

9. "We Own the Night," $3.4 million.

10. "Tim Burton 's the Nightmare Before Christmas," $3.35 million.

The Five Unsexiest Women Alive Named

2007-10-28T08:14:00.000-07:00

When the folks at Esquire magazine recently named Charlize Theron "The Sexiest Woman Alive," the editors of Maxim knew they had to respond, and they did respond in an unexpected way.

No. 5 -- Britney Spears: The pop princess, who at one time was one of the biggest sex symbols in the world, was criticized for gaining "two kids, two useless ex-husbands, and about 23 pounds of Funyun pudge."

No. 4 -- Madonna: The Material Girl literally wrote the book on 'Sex' in the '90s, but since then she's turned off the magazine's editors with her "bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration."

No. 3 -- Sandra Oh: The 'Grey's Anatomy' star made the list thanks to her "cold bedside manner and boyish figure."

No. 2 -- Amy Winehouse: The 'Rehab' singer's "translucent skin, rat's nest mane and lashes that look more like surgically attached bats" weren't enough to put her on top -- or, rather the bottom.

No. 1 -- Sarah Jessica Parker: The former 'Square Peg' was singeld out for being a "Barbaro-faced broad" and "the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women."

James Blunt crashes

2007-10-24T16:04:00.000-07:00

A pollution-free electric Mini Cooper worth £ ½ million that was lent to JAMES BLUNT has been taken off him again — after he thrashed it to pieces.

The car, one of only two in the world, was developed by NASA and ran on state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.

James, who had been driving it since May, said: “There was no petrol, no fumes and was the fastest car I’ve been in — totally silent, like a stealth Mini.”

That was the start of the problem. “I didn’t crash it but I did break it. I was going too fast.”

The car is now going into production and will be on sale from next year.

“I’m sure they’ve learnt a lot from my mistakes!”

Paris bored. Ends it

2007-10-20T22:05:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton has dumped her new boyfriend because he is “too shy”. The 26-year-old socialite decided to end her fledgling relationship with Swede Alex Vaggo — who she started dating in September — after he failed to excite her.

A source said: “She loved his good looks, but she gets bored very quickly, and he was just too shy and quiet for her.

“She likes bad boys.” Paris announced to the world she was single again by stepping out with bad boy rocker Kid Rock in Toronto, Canada, at the weekend.

She said: “I’m single. I’m way too busy for a boyfriend.” The Simple Life star has also quickly put an end to speculation that she is now dating Rock.

A spokesperson for Paris said: “She went to his show in Toronto with some friends and to the after-show party. They are absolutely not dating.”

Paris met 20-year-old Alex in Los Angeles when he was backpacking round the US.

J-Lo bombs

2007-10-20T22:01:00.000-07:00

Jennifer Lopez better make that baby announcement soon! The singer’s new album Brave flopped majorly on the US album charts this week.

How bad ? Well, it didn’t even crack the top 10. Brave managed to sell just 53,000 copies to come in at #12.

In the past, all of her six previous studio albums — even her recent Spanish one — managed to debut in the Top 10.

So, who ruled the charts ? It was Kid Rock’s new album, Rock ‘N’ Roll Jesus, debuted at #1 this week, selling 172,000 copies.

Last week’s #1, Bruce Springsteen’s Magic, slips to #2 this week, selling 133,000 while Rascal Flatts’ Still Feels Good is #3 this week at 96,000.
