Get Ready for Lindsay Lohan's Production Company
10 July 2009 8:03 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Well ... this is coming out of left field. If there's one thing Lindsay Lohan has going for her, it's that she's a little red-headed train that could. After musing that she'd leave Tinseltown for the modeling world, and then picking up a quirky indie film, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Lohan and her fashion-line partner Kristi Kaylor have created Unforgettable Productions -- continuing her habit to name things after old icons. (6126, her fashion brand, is named after Marilyn Monroe's birthday.)
Yes, Lohan has entered the production world, with a plan to develop projects for both television and the big screen. They're in the process of optioning a few books, and creating some super-high-quality TV like an Entourage show for the fashion world -- and a dating game show.
One can assume that this new twist is to get Lohan back in the acting world. If she can't get gigs

Reed’s Bargain Bin: S1m0ne
6 July 2009 10:15 AM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news
Reed’s Bargain Bin [1] is a recurring column where Reed Farrington tells us about a movie he bought for under $5, and whether or not he regrets the purchase. Despite the clever title and participation of Al Pacino, S1m0ne did not receive much attention from critics or movie theatre audiences when it came out in 2002. The director, Andrew Niccol, had some acclaim as a result of having directed Gattaca (a smart science fiction film about a physically defective human in a genetically manipulated world) and having written The Truman Show (a smart allegorical film about a man who's oblivious to the fact that his life has been manufactured for the purposes of a television show). S1m0ne also has a high concept idea behind it: a movie director creates a computer generated actor who becomes a star while only he knows that the actor is computer generated. I think I’ve had

Monroe Robe Goes Under The Hammer For $120,000
30 June 2009 3:01 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
A Marilyn Monroe bathrobe, which sold at auction for $6,000 (£4,000) a decade ago, has gone under the hammer in Las Vegas for a staggering $120,000 (£80,000).
A private collector snapped up the robe on Saturday during a two-day Julien's Auctions memorabilia sale, which also featured items which once belonged to Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
The robe was originally sold by Christie's auction house in 1999.
A necklace belonging to Monroe was also among the highlights of the auction - it sold for $56,000 (£37,300).
The two-day sale raked in over $2 million (£1.3 million) over the weekend.
The highlight was a signed Jackson 5 album, which was expected to fetch between $400 (£266) and $600 (£400), but sold for a staggering $33,750 (£22,500).
Celebrity "Roadkill": A Black Box Warning for Physicians
30 June 2009 7:29 AM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news
Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Anna Nicole, Heath Ledger and now Michael Jackson. All dead at an untimely age. All enormously famous. (Five of the aforementioned also extremely talented.) All tortured souls. All in need of assistance with physical and psychic pain. All victims of enabling, celebrity-obsessed physicians. After reading Deepak Chopra's and Dr. Drew Pinsky's superb blog about celebrity-treating physicians becoming "high" on the fame of their famous clientele, I noted that a critical point was missing. How can a vulnerable physician resist the temptation to "bend the rules" for these "tabloid elites?" A "Black Box Warning" is the highest level of Fda-mandated admonitions for doctors that a particular prescription drug may cause serious or even life-threatening adverse effects. It is so named for the bold type and the black border that usually surrounds the text of the warning. The...

Douglas Saddened By Fawcett & Jackson Deaths
28 June 2009 6:46 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Kirk Douglas was saddened to hear about the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett last week (beg22Jun09) - because it brought back painful memories about the passing of his son Eric.
The Charlie's Angels actress passed away on Thursday after losing her three-year battle with cancer at the age of 62, while the 50 year old King of Pop died on the same day after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Douglas worked with Fawcett on 1980 sci-fi movie Saturn 3, and the news that she had died young hit the veteran actor hard - because his son Eric passed away at the age of 46.
Douglas writes on his MySpace blog, "This has been a sad week. We don't like to think about it, but we all know that someday we will die. But, when someone dies young it makes us think about the preciousness of life.
"I did a movie with Farrah Fawcett in London. What a beautiful girl with a great sense of humor.
"Michael Jackson gave millions of people all over the world enjoyment. Yes, he had his problems. It's sad to think of such a great talent extinguished when his light was burning so brightly.
"It makes me think of the people in my profession that have died too young: Steve McQueen, Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe. I know the pain of personal tragedy, my son Eric died at 46. When I visit his grave every week I see fresh flowers at the gravesite of Marilyn Monroe.
"While we mourn for the deaths of young people like Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, let us think about how precious life is and resolve to make it worthwhile."
Megan Fox Is Allowed to Be Irresponsible and Immature
27 June 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news
Megan Fox continued to do her part in promoting Transformers 2, stopping by The Late Show on Thursday and Fuse studios yesterday in NYC. Her now-famous fan Harvey, aka rose boy, has been found and will be meeting her soon, though by the looks of things outside of Ed Sullivan Theater, she has enough groupies to keep her busy. In her interview, Megan talked to Dave about dropping out of high school, her Marilyn Monroe tattoo, and how she's not getting married since she's still young, "irresponsible and immature."

Madonna Was Planning Surprise Appearance At Jackson Shows
26 June 2009 1:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Madonna was making plans to take to the stage for a one-off performance with Michael Jackson at his 50-date London residency - and hasn't been able to stop crying since his death.
Despite a reportedly frosty relationship, following a planned duet that never materialised, Madonna was desperate to join the late King of Pop onstage at the 02 Arena in London.
The dates were due to start in July and Madonna was all set to be a special guest, according to her manager Guy Oseary.
In a post on his Twitter.com blog, Oseary says, "A month ago Madonna told me she wanted to do a surprise performance at one of Michael Jackson's U.K. shows."
Jackson was pronounced dead at Los Angeles' UCLA Medical Center on Thursday after suffering a fatal heart attack.
And Madonna has spoken out of her own personal grief after hearing of her most famous contemporary's demise - admitting she is devastated by Jackson's sudden death.
She says, "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
The Material Girl, who is the same age as 50-year-old Jackson, became the female equivalent of the Thriller superstar as they were propelled to phenomenal levels of fame in the 1980s.
The pair accompanied each other to the 1991 Oscars, with Madonna dressed in full Marilyn Monroe mode, famously leading a less-confident Jackson down the red carpet.
Rumours even suggested the pop supercouple was an item, but Madonna killed that story by romancing Warren Beatty.

Megan Fox – Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
23 June 2009 6:55 PM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news
I sat down with Megan Fox and others in Los Angeles at the Four Seasons to talk about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and more. Fox is back starring as Mikaela Banes.
Click here to Watch Jeff Bayer’s interview with Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson
Here’s a nugget that didn’t make the final cut of the interview.
Bayer: The way that Shia acts, it almost seems like he’s ad-libbing a lot of the time.
Fox: He is.
Bayer: Was there any moments where the two of you got into it together?
Fox: I clearly can’t stick to the script when he’s going off book. That whole library scene was improvised and it was hysterical. The stuff that didn’t make it into the movie, I was crying.

Hilton Shows Off Naked Shots And Shoes In Home Tour
19 June 2009 5:05 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Paris Hilton has opened the doors to her Hollywood home to reveal naked photos of herself, her extensive collection of dolls, and the gym she turned into a massive shoe closet.
The socialite moved into her new place 18 months ago and set about turning the "boring" and "stuffy" family home into a dream house.
And she agreed to act as tour guide when she invited Access Hollywood cameras into the private space before she jetted off to film her new reality show in Dubai.
Hilton showed off the Marilyn Monroe portraits that hang over her four-poster bed and shocked with candid poster-sized photos of the heiress naked, hugging a toy cat and sitting in a Hummer (vehicle) with her pet Chihuahua Tinkerbell poking out between her legs.
She chuckled, "That's me in a Hummer with Tinkerbell, in the buff."
Megan Fox Says No More Tattoo
18 June 2009 9:26 PM, PDT | From Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news
Megan Fox has already had eight tattoos over her body and she considers not to add more. Recently, she uttered her thought about the body arts. Though she admitted making tattoo is addictive, the actress is afraid that she may regret having it someday.
"I don't have any that I truly regret yet, but I'm sure I will at some point," Megan claimed, calling it as a reason why she won't have more tattoo. "I'm trying to refrain from going forward for that reason," she said, before adding "I don't want to be 40, looking at my arm in the mirror and going, 'Oh my God - what did I do?'"
Previously, it was reported that Megan Fox had a big quarrel with her mother Darlene Tonachio because of the tattoos she etched on her body. One of the "Transformers" beauty's tattoos is a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face on her arm.

This is cute but will surely offend the psychotically patriotic from any given country. Literal translations of flags from Pop Hangover.
Ah Grease, the great unifier. Everyone has seen it. I'm so glad there hasn't been a Grease 3 or a Grease Reborn... yet. I know they've threatened us with remakes in the past. Why bother? Shan't ever top Olivia + Travolta + Channing's "Rizzo". Sigh
Here's a possibly worthwhile event at Lincoln Center in July should you be in NYC. It's a movie discussion with multiple Oscar nominee Sidney Lumet (Network, The Verdict, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) and his daughter screenwriter Jenny Lumet (Rachel Getting Married).

Fox Ends Tattoo 'Addiction'

Transformers star Megan Fox has ended her love affair with tattoos - she has scrapped plans for any more body art in case she regrets going under the needle when she's older.
The Hollywood actress has eight tattoos in total, including a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face etched on her forearm.
Fox recently announced plans to cover her entire right arm with ink - but she's now backed out of the scheme, insisting she won't be heading to the tattoo parlour again any time soon.
She says, "They're definitely addictive. I don't have any that I truly regret yet, but I'm sure I will at some point.
"I'm trying to refrain from going forward for that reason. I don't want to be 40, looking at my arm in the mirror and going, 'Oh my God - what did I do?'"

While "Hills" star Heidi Montag has declined to directly confirm reports that she has posed for Playboy, she told MTV News that such a decision wouldn't conflict with her Christian beliefs — in fact, she said she thinks posing for the magazine would be a "huge honor."
"If I were to do Playboy, it would be a huge honor," she told MTV News on Monday (June 15), just hours after her and husband Spencer Pratt's dust-up with Al Roker on the "Today" show. "Many iconic women have done it: Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone did it, Marilyn Monroe. So it's a very amazing, well-known magazine. I would love to do it, but I would do it very tastefully.

Bronte to Tarantino: New Film Overindulges in Famous Names
12 June 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
When it comes to cinematic oversaturation, our tipping point is relatively low. Take Spider-Man 3. Just a handful of villains and stories and the complaints start rolling in. Even when it comes to collections of stories, the numbers are not very high --Paris je t'aime slips in with 20. But how about a roster of names that make 5, 10, or 20 look like child's play?
There's a new indie film on the horizon called Lives and Deaths of the Poets, written and directed by Leland Steigs. According to IMDb, it "spoofs and parodies incidents taken from the lives of famous writers, artists and musicians throughout history" -- with approximately 60 comic vignettes. The names include -- get ready for this -- Quentin Tarantino, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, Jimi Hendrix, Yoko Ono, Ed Wood, James Dean, Pablo Picasso, Emily Bronte, Stanley Kubrick, Edgar Allen Poe, Marilyn Monroe, Marcel Proust, Michael Jackson, Henry Miller, Mary Shelley,

Frances Ethel Gumm at 87
10 June 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
Had Judy Garland not died tragically at 47 of an accidental overdose she would be turning 87 years-old today. Okay, so she might have died by now but we would have had much more of her work to enjoy. To give you an idea of how young that is for a world class entertainer, consider people who outlived her.
Had Frank Sinatra died at 47 his career would have ended with The Manchurian Candidate. He'd have never recorded his signature song "My Way" or any of his live records. Had Shirley Maclaine died at 47, she would never have sent up Debbie Reynolds in Postcards from the Edge or made Terms of Endearment which was arguably her greatest screen triumph. Had her co-star Jack Nicholson died at 47, Terms... would have been his last film: no Prizzi's Honor, Witches of Eastwick, Ironweed, The Departed, About Schmidt. Had Paul Newman, only three years Judy's junior,
