| Deadpool Movie Gets The Dark Comedy Writers That Wade Deserves |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|08:20 pm] |
Fans of loopy banter and insane violence rejoice — Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, of Zombieland fame, are writing the Deadpool movie. This means the "Merc with a Mouth" film could actually be clever.
Variety announced that Fox has selected Zombieland writers Reese and Wernick to bring Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool film to life.
While there's "no timetable" set the trade speculates that if the script is done by the summer, Reynolds will already be in superhero shape from filming Green Lantern and has a window of opportunity, so what's to stop a quick turnover? Well besides piling two Ryan Reynolds comic book movie releases on top of each other that is.
The writers stated that they wanted to stay true to the mythology of Deadpool, and if their previous Zombieland work is any indication of their wit, then they are a perfect fit for the fourth-wall-breaking, Bea Arthur-loving character.

| Artie Lange stabs himself nine times in an alleged suicide attempt |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|08:19 pm] |
The mystery behind troubled comic Artie Lange's recent hospital stay may be more serious than expected.
Howard Stern's sharp-tongued sidekick was reportedly rushed to a New Jersey hospital on Saturday, the comedian's rep confirmed to TMZ.com, adding Lange "has chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor."
However, not all of Lange's skeletons have been kept in the closet.
Lange's hospitalization reportedly occurred after the comedian stabbed himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, The Post reports.
According to a law-enforcement source, Lange's mother called 911 after entering his Hoboken apartment and finding the blood-stained comedian Saturday morning.
Lange's mother reportedly came to visit him to drop off food when she discovered her injured son, who sustained six "hesitation wounds" and three deep plunges.
Despite heavy bleeding from the incident, surgeons managed to save Lange's life.
Earlier in the week, Stern spoke out about his ailing friend, however wouldn't reveal the reason for Lange's emergency.
"We all have our demons," said Stern, referring to Lange's past battles with addiction. "Artie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He's a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don't forget how great he is."
Stern, who has hosted the controversial radio program, "The Howard Stern Show," on Sirius XM radio since January 2006, also denied that Lange was quitting the show and being replaced by Jim Breuer.
Lange, 41, had been mysteriously absent from the radio talk show in the days prior to the company's holiday break.

| Simon Cowell Signs Paula Abdul To $4.5 Million-A-Year Contract With “The X Factor?” |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|09:53 pm] |
Get ready for another season of Simon and Paula’s signature bickering — on the US adaptation of The X Factor.
Paula Abdul has allegedly inked a $4.5 million contract to bring her loopy commentary to the judges panel on an American version of Simon’s hit UK talent show, The X Factor. That’s interesting, considering the star walked away from her post at American Idol because she failed to secure the $10 million-a-year payday she was vying for.
Apparently, Paula isn’t very good at gambling, is she?
A FOX tipster revealed to The National Enquirer’s Mike Walker: “Simon flew Paula to London and wined and dined her relentlessly over the course of several days, even introducing her to everyone who works on X Factor. But what really clinched the deal was Simon’s pledge that she wouldn’t have to deal with all the nonsense and infighting that she hated on Idol.”
The X Factor America will premiere in 2011.

Thursday, music artist/philanthropist Kenna lead a group that includes actors Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas and musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold on the trip of a lifetime to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The group will be joined by a panel of eminent scientists and thinkers who've been working on bringing desperately needed clean water to developing nations around the globe, and their climb will be chronicled in a 90-minute documentary slated to air March 14 at 9 p.m. on MTV.

| Don't Bring Beyonce Now: Fete promoters think concert will hurt Carnival 2010 |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|07:22 pm] |
Don’t bring Beyonce to Trinidad and Tobago now.
That’s the cry of fete and Carnival show promoters as well as panmen and calypsonians who are also calling on TSTT CEO, Roberto Peon, to explain what is the company’s intention towards Carnival 2010 and beyond in light of the concert featuring the American R&B singer immediately after Carnival on Thursday, February 18.
The concerned parties are delivering a petition to Peon requesting a meeting with him signed by among others, promoter Frank Martineau, mas bandleaders Big Mike Antoine and Ronnie MacIntosh, Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation general secretary Lutalo ’Brother Resistance’ Masimba and former CEO of the Caribbean Prestige Foundation, Gregory Fernandes, who is spearheading the move to secure the sitdown.
’We want to discuss with TSTT the position they have taken to present Beyonce in concert so soon after Carnival and their decision to cut back and even pull sponsorship of Carnival events. We understand they have also cancelled the B-Square concert series at Woodford Square for this year. TSTT has contributed greatly to Carnival over the years and this is a surprise move. We want to know what their commitment to Carnival is,’ Fernandes said.

| Gloriana Go 'Far' in 2010! |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|08:35 pm] |
The members of Gloriana have noticed an immediate impact from winning the Breakthrough Artist of the Year trophy at the most recent American Music Awards.
"You don't realizing how many people are watching those TV shows; you win an award and you start going places," the group's Mike Gossin tells Billboard.com. "It's funny now; going to airports, people recognize us a lot more -- everywhere we go, really. They're like, 'Oh, I saw you win that award.' It was one of the highlights for this band so far. Cross our fingers, hopefully we'll win a lot more."
Gloriana -- Gossin, his older brother Tom, Rachel Reinert and Cheyenne Kimball -- was already off to a good start even before the AMAs. Its self-titled debut album, released in August, reached No. 2 on the Hot Country Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, while the single "Wild at Heart" was a Top 15 hit. The group's second single, "How Far Do You Wanna Go?," is currently climbing the charts.

| Cindy Margolis Orders Sperm Samples From Contestants in New Dating Show |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|05:49 pm] |
Former Playboy pin-up Cindy Margolis knows a thing or two about infertility, having given birth to her three children through IVF and later authoring the book “Having a Baby… When the Old-Fashioned Way Isn’t Working.”
Now she's bringing the idea to television with her new dating reality show, “Seducing Cindy,” to debut on the FOX Reality Channel on January 30.
“I am the spokesperson for Resolve, the National Infertility Association, so we could get away with it. We had one competition where the guys had to go through what I went through and give a sperm sample,” Margolis told Tarts. “It was interesting to have 25 guys go off into a room and bring you back a sperm sample. Clinically, I know how to test sperm, and I tested each of the guy’s sperm on my show. It was the craziest thing.”
The dating reality show has men aged 18-49 competing in a range of interesting competitions in the hope of scoring Margolis’s hand in love. And according to the upcoming reality starlet, the guys were happy to go through with the “sperm” game.

| Khloe Kardashian: I'd "Beat the Crap" Out of a Girl Who Hit on Lamar |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|07:27 pm] |
Ladies, don't get any ideas of hitting on Khloe Kardashian's husband, Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom.
"If I even imagined someone talking to my husband too close, I would beat the crap out of them," the reality star, 25, tells The Insider.
Though they are trying to have a baby now, she stressed that she is not currently pregnant. "I just gained some love weight and it gives [Lamar] something to hold on to," she says. (She previously told UsMagazine.com that she gained seven pounds since wedding in September. "I just haven't been working out as much and eating badly," she told Us. "My husband is known as the candy man. All he does is eat candy, and I join in and that's not great. But now we're settled in and bought a house, and I'm back to my routine," which includes QuickTrim.)
She tells The Insider Lamar "is really eager to have a baby and I wanna have babies. I just got married four months ago, I'm not doing anything to prevent having a baby right now."
Sister Kim says she isn't quite ready for that step with on-again beau Reggie Bush.
"There's no plan as of now to get married," says Kim, 29. "We've been together for years and we're just having a good, happy relationship."
Despite both being in committed relationships, they still have their celeb crushes.
Kim says "it would be really sexy to have George Clooney once. I think he is so sexy!"
Khloe's fantasy guy?
"I would totally say Obama," she said. "Like, I would do it for our country."

| Britney Spears Is Not Satisfied With Her Body |

Despite being one of the most famous sultry pop icons in decades, Britney Spears doesn't consider herself sexy. The mother of two, who seems to spend a lot of her time poolside in a bikni, told Look magazine that she's never quite happy with her body.
"I'm such a perfectionist, which means I'm never satisfied. I always strive for things to be better. I think you can be happy with the person on the inside but on the outside you're always striving for more. But that's how you end up driving yourself crazy."

Breaking News: When People look at Angelina Jolie, her clothes are not the first thing they notice
You know how Brad Pitt looks with his beard right now? How when you look at his face all you can focus on is how long and scraggly and weirdly matted it is on the ends? And how you just wish he'd get rid of it so you could enjoy the bottom line — his gorgeous face? St. John has similar feelings about having Angelina Jolie in their ads. Just like when you look at Brad's face all you see is his beard, they have realized then when you look at St. John ads all you see is Angelina Jolie. But that shan't continue for spring! The label is dismissing her since she "overshadowed" the brand, St. John's CEO tells WWD: “We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”
So they hired redhead model Karen Elson, shot by photographer Greg Kadel. "We have evolved," the CEO boasts.

The ads will be missed, but I'm sure Jolie's upcoming ads for Armani will be better. |
