First TRANSFORMERS Review Hits the Net

28 April 2007

With two months and change left til it opens July 4th, reviews for advance screenings of “Transformers” have begun to hit the net. And of course, as it has been for a few years now, AICN was one of the first sites to nab a review. I’m going to skip over the long winded introduction [...]

The Sci Fi Channel’s Summer Schedule, FLASH GORDON

27 April 2007

Let’s face it: as much as I appreciate them for having shows like “The Dresden Files” and the “Stargate SG1″ series on their air, The Sci Fi Channel is known for some pretty craptacular stuff, not least of which are the truly horrendous quality of their “original movies”, i.e. the latest genetic monster/mutant attacks movie [...]

Richard Gere Apologizes for Kissing Shilpa Shetty

27 April 2007

After weeks of not saying anything, or saying very little, and even going on last night’s “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart and hitting back at those protesting him, Richard Gere has finally buckled and issued a statement of apology, perhaps hoping to head off jail time in India. Said Gere on Stewart’s show: “There [...]

The IRL’s New Babe: Milka Duno

27 April 2007

The Indy Racing League has just got an injection of latin flavor. Joining the ranks of fellow IRL female drivers Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher will be Venezuelan Milka Duno. Hailing from Caracas, Venezuela, Milka made her American driving debut in the American Le Mans Series in 2000, and followed that up with drives in [...]

First Look at Jet Li and Andy Lau’s THE WARLORDS, Trailer

27 April 2007

Via AICN, here’s your first look at a 2-minute battle sequence from the upcoming Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro Chinese war epic “The Warlords”. I gotta admit, I like all those three guys, and the idea of the movie intrigues me, but this video, which is cut in a manner that is intended [...]

X-MEN Villain Magneto Gets his own Movie

27 April 2007

I must be the only fanboy out there who wasn’t/is enamored with Magneto as the villain for all three “X-Men” films. I found the fact that the most dangerous mutant in the world is an frail old man with white hair to be more than a little silly. But apparently I am the only person [...]

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark First Picture

27 April 2007

USA Today has your first look at Robert Downey Jr. in full Tony Stark mode, which includes Stark sporting what looks like a high-tech doohickey stuck to his chest. If the movie follows the original comic books, the “doohickey” is what is keeping Stark alive after he is badly injured, and the first of many [...]

Another BLADE RUNNER Version with New Scenes?

27 April 2007

The original “Blade Runner” (1982) is a seminal work of science fiction, but to tell you the truth, I am not entirely enamored with it. And this is speaking as a big fan of sci-fi movies. There’s something about the film, perhaps a slowness (or should I say, dullness) that doesn’t make me list it [...]

India Judge Issues Arrest Warrants for Gere, Shetty

27 April 2007

Apparently your country having the highest number of people infected with the deadly AIDs virus (count’em — 5.7 million people infected with AIDs in India alone) is not nearly as important as throwing Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty in jail for up to three months to the good people of India. Or at least, to [...]

Whatever Happened to … Rachael Leigh Cook?

27 April 2007

Actually, nothing’s happened to Rachael Leigh Cook. She hasn’t been abducted by Scientologists and forced to have Tom Cruise’s love child or fell into a well or anything. She’s just sort of, well, disappeared from mainstream Hollywood films. Which is surprisingly, because after a starring role in “She’s all That”, she seemed to have a [...]

New Poker Babe Joanna Krupa

27 April 2007

I love me some poker, almost as much as I love me a zombie movie. So when Titan Poker, an online poker site, got model/actress/former “Juggy” Joanna Krupa to be their spokesmodel, I now like me some Titan Poker’in. (Yes, I’m sure that’s an actual word. Look it up.) Besides her job shilling for Titan [...]

Rapper Eve Busted for DUI in L.A.

27 April 2007

What is the deal with rich black celebrities crashing expensive exotic cars? First Eddie Griffin demolished a rare Enzo Ferrari while doing PR rounds for his movie “Redline”, and now female rapper/actress Eve has destroyed an Italian Maserati earlier today in L.A. by ramming a cement divider with it. Says cops, “She also ran over [...]

Brit Babe Invasion: Jayne Middlemiss

27 April 2007

What’s this? An entry into the Brit Babe Invasion category that isn’t a former or current member of any of Britain’s nighttime soaps? Why, yes! It’s Jayne Middlemiss, a glamour model turned TV presenter who hails from Northumberland, England. She’s done hosting duties for “The O-Zone”, “Top of the Pops”, and has appeared on the [...]

Miss America Lauren Nelson Busts Online Predators in Sex Sting

27 April 2007

Miss America Lauren Nelson, not to be confused with Miss USA Rachel Rachel Smith (what’s the difference, you ask? Um, probably one is Miss America and the other one is Miss USA, but other than that — who knows), recently participated in a New York law enforcement sting of online predators using pictures of her [...]

Random Foreign Babe of the Day: Nazan Eckes

27 April 2007

German TV just wouldn’t be the same without Nazan Eckes. Okay, maybe it would be exactly the same, seeing as how my knowledge of German TV is zilch, which is slightly lower than Rosie O’Donnell’s sex appeal. (And yes, I just vomited in my mouth as I typed that. Sigh.) But where was I? Oh [...]

Latin Flavor: Luli Fernandez

27 April 2007

Argentinian model Luli Fernandez’s nickname is “Chica Stone” (or “Lolita Stone”), based, I believe, on an encounter she had with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. Did she roll his stone? Did he roll hers? Who knows. And unless my Spanish is not up to snuff (by which I mean, I can’t speak a lick [...]

Vince Young on the Cover of Madden ‘08 Game

27 April 2007

Will the Madden Curse waylay Vince Young’s glorious career as the Tennessee Titans’ reigning quarterback? That seems to be the talk around the sports watercooler. Which is bullcrap. ESPN couldn’t stop Vince Young the months before the Rose Bowl Championship Game in 2005 no matter how hard they tried. The USC Trojans, with Reggie Bush, [...]

Sarah Silverman to Host the MTV Movie Awards

26 April 2007

Get ready, MTV kids, Sarah Silverman is about to blow your mind. The 36-year old foul-mouthed Jewish comedian is going to be hosting MTV’s annual Movie Awards (I forgot what year of the award this is, and MTV doesn’t seem to give a crap, so we’ll just go with 2007). This will come as a [...]

Fox Cancels Nathan Fillion’s DRIVE

26 April 2007

TV Guide’s Ask Ausiello has bad news for fans of Fox’s “Drive” TV series — it’s been cancelled. Or at least, that’s what his sources tell him. “Multiple sources confirm that Fox has axed the Tim Minear creation after less than three weeks on the air. I’ll go out on a limb and say the [...]

Hanks to Get $35 Mil for DA VINCI CODE Sequel, Gisele Bundchen Joining Cast?

26 April 2007

The rad dudes over at Cinema Blend thinks they know what is going on with the “Da Vinci Code” sequel (or prequel), “Angels and Demons” (which will once again be directed by Ron Howard). In particular, they have a source that tells them Tom Hanks will be paid a handsome $35 million just to reprise [...]
