Adam Sandler, Cross-Dresser

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Columbia Pictures, Romance, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

The papers have been inked, and Adam Sandler will become the titular star in the new comedy Jack and Jill. Actually, cancel that. He’s the titular stars. That’s right…he’s playing both roles.

In the film, Jack and Jill are twins and the theme is romance. I’m already feeling kind of bad for the guy who’s playing Jill’s love interest…aren’t you?

The Happy Madison project is scheduled for a 2011 release.

Megan Fox Gets Emotional Over Transformers

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: DreamWorks, Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

Quelling the rumors once and for all, Transformers actress Megan Fox accepted her Spike TV Scream Award for Best Sci-Fi Actress this past weekend with a heartfelt speech.

In her speech, she indirectly refers to the anonymous Transformers crew members who wrote a very anti-Ms. Fox letter, which circulated the internet so fast that it prompted even director Michael Bay to speak out about it.

Calling herself “a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film,” it almost seems like she comes close to tears at one point. Truly grateful, or does she have me fooled with her acting abilities?

Angelina Jolie Project Gets Production Date

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Remakes, Thrillers, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

Angelina Jolie turned down several other offers, including the Wanted sequel, to participate in The Tourist. Now, the flick finally has a production date.

Jolie did attach some strings to her involvement with the film - she wouldn’t do it unless a proper director was involved with the project. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has been selected, and everyone seems to be happy. Though negotiations are not quite finalized, the film is expected to enjoy a 2011 release date. Donnersmarck won an Academy Award (Best Foreign-Language Film, 2006) for The Lives of Others.

In the flick, Angelina Jolie will portray an Interpol agent. Filming is expected to begin in February.

Project Runway and Sex and the City to Pair Up

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

Carrie Bradshaw and Tim Gunn - now there’s a pair that’s always in fashion.

The latest rumors coming from the set of the Sex and the City sequel say that Project Runway’s front man will be making a cameo in the flick.

No hints on why Gunn will be doing the movie, but he’ll be playing himself. Sarah Jessica Parker is no stranger to Runway or Gunn - she was a guest judge on the show in 2007.

Fashion has always been a major component to Sex and the City, so this Tim Gunn item seems to be a perfect fit.

Original Fame Director Speaks Out Against Remake

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: MGM, Music, Musicals, Remakes, New Releases, Trailers, Videos

Maybe Fame does live forever. Though the remake has premiered, some are still nostalgically looking to the past. One of the contributors to the original film project, Sir Alan Parker, has gone on record to speak out against the newly-remade movie.

Fame, which was released in 1980 and quickly became a classic, recently arrived in the UK. It was originally directed by Parker, who said that seeing the remake was “a bit like being mugged.” You see, apparently he was never consulted about the new version of the film, which Sir Alan sees as something of a slight. Calling the project “dreadful,” he says of the situation, “such are the realities of Hollywood manners and American copyright law.”

Pirates Franchise Sails On…Without Depp?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Disney, Action, Adventure, Family, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Corporate Shakeups, Rumors, Upcoming Releases, Videos

Which is bigger: Depp or Disney?

Dick Cook, former chairman of the uber-company and friend to actor Johnny Depp, recently left the company and left the fate of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise up in the air. Depp stated that he may discontinue his piracy if Cook is no longer at the helm of the ship.

But here’s the really shocking part: Disney plans to forge ahead without him. Depp is signed up to do On Stranger Tides, the fourth installment in the franchise, but two more movies are planned after this.

So…is there any way the movies could possibly work without Captain Jack Sparrow? Disney’s pretty big…but it’s doubtful the company has the chops to make Pirates work without Depp in the lead.

Lindsay Lohan Wants to be Britney

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

Lindsay Lohan has always wanted to be Britney Spears.

The 23-year-old actress knew from a young age that she wanted to emulate the pop star’s worldwide success and be the talk of gossip columns and magazines.

“Everyone goes through tough times, and the second that I decided I wanted to be in front of the camera… I think I always kind of aspired to be like Britney Spears. I wanted to be in the tabloids when I was in middle school. It’s kind of something you sign up for in the beginning, and if you really want it, you know what comes with it.”

Lindsay, who has had three stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction and been charged with driving under the influence, insists that she is proud of what she has achieved and has grown in confidence with age.

Jennifer Aniston’s Dad Discouraged Acting

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Biopics, Music, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

Jennifer Aniston‘s father didn’t want her to be an actress.

The Bounty star recently revealed that John Aniston - Days of Our Lives’ Victor Kiriakis - begged her to choose a “less iffy” career. “My dad did not want me to do this at all. It wasn’t that he didn’t think I could, but he just thought that it was such an iffy thing,” the 40-year-old star said.

But instead of being discouraged, Jennifer says her father’s disapproval spurred her to go to even more auditions. “I think there was a part of his discouragement that kind of fueled my drive in a way,” she told People magazine.
