KENDRA WILKINSON: STILL PRETENDING SHE’S UPSET BY SEX VIDEO RELEASE


How dumb does “Girls next Door” star Kendra Wilkinson think we all are? She just did an interview with Ryan Seacrest at “E!” in which she boo hooed that she was “extremely embarrassed” that the sex video she did as a teenager was released by Vivid Entertainment. She didn’t acknowledge the fact that SHE has been trying to negotiate a deal to release the video for several years. Finally, her male partner in the video sold it successfully and he’s sharing the profits with her. According to RadarOnline, Vivid says her video provided their “biggest sales day in history.” Most significant is the fact that Kendra already got her first check for the video – $680,000. Certainly that eases a lot of her “pain.

Elizabeth Taylor: James Dean was Molested

Taylor & Dean on the set of GIANT (1956)


Elizabeth Taylor worked with James Dean on the film Giant in 1956. 

They became friends and apparently Taylor knew a lot about Dean but didn't want it released until her passing.

Taylor says:
"I loved Jimmy. I'm going to tell you something, but it's off the record until I die. OK? When Jimmy was 11 and his mother passed away, he began to be molested by his minister. I think that haunted him the rest of his life. In fact, I know it did. We talked about it a lot. During Giant we'd stay up nights and talk and talk, and that was one of the things he confessed to me."

 Interesting information.  I wonder what else might leak from the past interviews of Ms. Taylor now that she has been laid to rest?

Sony Lunches Online Casting Website

You're a fan of huge Hollywood films put out by Sony and you want to be in one?  Well looks like Sony is giving you the opportunity.  They've created their own online casting website for their films.



Face of the Fan is the way Sony is going to be casting many of their upcoming films.  They've started out with a big one, the next film in the "Underworld" series.   The first casting is for a  female 18 or older to play a Teenager.

"The Face of the Fan program enables us to source people from all over the country to find unknown talent and give them a shot at something they may not have otherwise been able to do," said Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper in a written statement. 
 

I don't know if they are struggling to get the numbers they believe films need or if they are trying to give struggling actors a chance, either way, it's interesting for a studio to do this.  I just feel horrible for the poor intern that's going to get stuck sifting through the castings coming in for these films.

I'm sure Sony will be more successful at this then many of the past companies who have tried this.   But as far as I know, there has not been a studio who has tried to cast this way.

 Have you heard of anything like this before?  Let me know?

MGM Declairs Chapter 11

via TheMovieBlog.com:




Looks as though Metro Goldwyn Mayer was forced to file Chapter 11 this past week.  The studio was forced by a private investor and now, looks like the entire library of films will be up for auction.  There are some great titles on the MGM label.  It will be interesting to see what the other studios try and buy up when the bidding starts.

Happy Town Canceled after only 2 Episodes


According to the Hollywood Reporter, ABC has canceled Happy Town after only two episodes. Saying that 4.5 million viewers is not enough. All I have to say is LAME.

The show has so many great characters and utalizes the skills of the more mature acting community. I absolutely love the show & think this is the wrong decision for ABC. But maybe they think another "Bachelor" will get them the ratings they need.

The series will round out the scheduled 12 episodes.
Starting again in June.

MGM headed for sale


It's sad to see a giant fall but this is probably not the last time we'll see this.

Looks like MGM is another of the giants to find out that the world of Entertainment has changed & they were too far behind to keep up. They've changed hands a few times over the years, didn't opt to keep their deal with Disney and what used to be the MGM studios in Orlando and now news trickles down that the studio will likely go up for auction in pieces in the next few weeks.

Apparently, in the current market place MGM is only worth 1.5 Billion. That's nuts when you consider the catalog of films it has behind it & the iconic image that the logo holds in the entertainment industry. But times are tough & if they are choosing to let it all go on the market, they will not get what they 'think' the studio is worth.

Here is the real problem, they have nothing New to offer the world now. This year MGM only released 1 film, a remake of FAME and it did not do well, big surprise. Plus their list of films for 2010 do not sound impressive either, "Hot Tub Time Machine", "the Zookeeper" and a Remake of "Red Dawn". God Bless them for trying but this is sad.

Hot Tub Time Machine? Are they kidding with that title? (shakes head)

NINE rehearsal trailer


NINE is gonna be Hot!
I honestly can not wait to see what Rob Marshall does with this film.


via: Ester Goldberg's Views from a Broad Blog
The Weinstein Company has released a montage of so-called rehearsal footage from the upcoming musical "Nine." Billing aside, the dancing from the film's female-centric cast seems pretty polished. There are no shots of stars Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman, or Marion Cotillard making so much as one wrong step. Perhaps the studio is just saving that for the outtakes section of the DVD.
