17 April 2007

So word around the Internet Fanboy Water Cooler (or IFWC as I like to call it — well, not really) is that Sam Raimi is currently pondering offers to take over the directing reins of “The Hobbit” from Peter Jackson, who is still in all manner of legal fisticuffs with New LIne Cinema, the studio [...]

Michael Bay to Direct PRINCE OF PERSIA Next

17 April 2007

Michael Bay gets such a bad rap in the fan community. Then again, the “fan community” thinks Quentin Tarantino’s farts smell like roses, so what do they know. In any case, I’ve always liked Bay’s films — the man has an eye for action, pacing, and how to keep both things moving at breakneck pace. [...]

Welcome to America, Victoria Beckham

17 April 2007

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or has absolutely no interest in anything that’s happening in the world today, then you probably already know that Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice herself) and Mr. Posh, David Beckham, will be moving to the States very soon when Beckham goes to play in the MLS for the L.A. [...]

Another day, another smoking hot Latina model to gawk at. What, are you complaining? You better not, or it’s BAM! Right to the moon, Alice! Ahem. Where was I? Oh, right. This time around it’s Argentina’s Emilia Attias, who you might have caught on the covers of Maxim, Gente and Gabo. And if not, then [...]

Did Paris Hilton Get Breast Implants?

17 April 2007

Did Paris Hilton get breast implants to improve her movie career? (Hey, stop snickering. She does too have a movie career. Okay, stopped laughing yet? Let’s continue…) Well did she, or didn’t she? From the looks of these pictures, it certainly appears as if the hotel heiress has “pumped” up some parts of her anatomy. [...]

17 April 2007

After scoring a big role in the upcoming “Iron Man” movie as a fast talking reporter, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’s” Leslie Bibb has signed on to star in the comedy “Bachelorette Party”, which is being described as “a romantic comedy in the vein of ‘Wedding Crashers’” (whatever that means), reports The Hollywood [...]

Kirsten Dunst Gives Herself too Much Credit

17 April 2007

In a recent interview with someone for something, Kirsten Dunst was asked about a possible “Spider-Man 4″ movie without Tobey Maguire and her in starring roles, and without Sam Raimi directing. To which Dunst replied: “Audiences aren’t stupid. It’d be a big flop without me, Tobey or Sam.” Um, okay, you almost got two-thirds of [...]

Sarah Michelle Gellar Turns 30, Still Smoking

17 April 2007

Sarah Michelle Gellar turns 30 today. Okay, so maybe she turned 30 two days ago, on the 14th, but since we didn’t notice it until now, we’re going to pretend she turned 30 today, and go from there. (That’s just how we like to roll around these here parts, doncha know.) So what’s the point [...]

A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM’s Mizuo Peck

17 April 2007

You might not know the name, but you’ll probably know the face: Tribeca, New York actress Mizuo Peck played Indian Sacajawea in the big-time Hollywood hit “A Night at the Museum” with Ben Stiller. She’s the Indian girl. The really, really hot Indian girl. Remember now? She’s also half-Japanese, which is the reason for the [...]

Barbara Stoyanoff Strikes Again

17 April 2007

American supermodels that looks as good as Barbara Stoyanoff and isn’t all legs and bag of bones don’t come around often, so when you find one, it’s a good idea to post them for all they’re worth. Of course that sounds a little exploitative, but I like to call it homage. Hey, it works for [...]

Thora Birch’s Dad Coached Her Sex Scene

16 April 2007

As the saying goes, Nothing good ever comes from having an ex-porn actor as your dad. Take “American Beauty” actress Thora Birch’s situation for example, on the set of her new movie “The Winter of Frozen Dreams”: Jack, who co-starred with Thora’s mother Carol Connors in the notorious porno film ‘Deep Throat’, was adamant on [...]

The Joker to be a Freaky, Scary Bastard in THE DARK KNIGHT

16 April 2007

You gotta hand it to Christopher Nolan — he managed to remake Batman while still keeping it Batman. The costume, the vigilante justice, the toys — but the grit, too, something the Batman films never had under Burton, Schumacher, etc. Now his version of the Joker, for the “Batman Begins” sequel “The Dark Knight”, is [...]

All Hail Bianca King

16 April 2007

So who is Bianca King and why haven’t you heard of her before? Well probably because she’s a Filipino actress, and unless you watch Filipino entertainment — well, you get the idea. Although born in Germany, Deutchland lost this hottie when she migrated to the Philippines, where she landed the role of Aviona on the [...]

JERICHO’s Ashley Scott

16 April 2007

Before she got caught in a nuclear blast as mild-mannered country girl Emily Sullivan in “Jericho”, Ashley Scott was Batman’s illegitimate brunette crime-fighting daughter in “Birds of Prey”. (No, I am not kidding, that really was her character in the short-lived “Birds of Prey” TV series.) Anyhoo, after stints on a failed WB show and [...]

Richard Gere Pisses Off all of India With a Kiss

16 April 2007

Sometimes something is just so stupid that you have to sit back and laugh at it. Then you have something like what is going on in India at the moment, where people are burning effigies of Richard Gere (yes, the American actor) because he hugged and kissed the cheek of Indian actress/Celebrity UK Big Brother [...]

Where is My VAMPIRELLA Movie?

16 April 2007

So let me get this straight. Aeon Flux gets her own big-budget, crappy movie; Painkiller Jane gets her own crappy TV series; and they’re starting on a Wonder Woman and Supergirl movie; but all Vampirella gets is a crappy 1996 made-for-video movie starring Talisa Soto and Roger Frakkin Daltry? The horror! The shame! The revulsion! [...]

Gemma Atkinson as a Pussycat Doll

16 April 2007

Quite possibly one of the dumbest show on TV right now is the Reality competition show “The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll”, which is not only pretty self-explanatory, but is also incredibly stupid. As in, if you watch more than one episode of this thing, you’re liable to lose at least 30 IQ points. [...]

Christina Ricci Joins SPEED RACER

16 April 2007

This is sort of old news, but all the trades are reporting that Christina Ricci has joined the cast of “Speed Racer”, opposite Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, and John Goodman. And as everyone already knows (don’t you?), the Wachowski Brothers, coming off their stint fixing Nicole Kidman’s “Invasion”, will be writing and directing. The movie [...]
