Madonna: Thinking Of Adopting Another Disadvantaged Youngster
7 hours ago | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘4 Minutes’ singer – who raises biological children Lourdes and Rocco and adopted David and Mercy – hasn’t ruled out expanding her family further by taking on the care of another disadvantaged youngster. Asked if she would adopt again, she said: “Never say never.” The 51-year-old star also spoke about her charity work with her Raising Malawi foundation, saying it makes her feel complete. She said: "I'm really proud of the work that I'm doing in Africa. I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment in terms of my career and the work that I have done. "I have four children now and I'd like to think I'm a good mother. I feel a great sense of satisfaction in all areas of my life." Madonna moved back to New York from London after divorcing her husband, director Guy Ritchie, last year, and admits she misses some aspects of her life in the UK. »

Madonna 'won't rule out another adoption'
21 hours ago | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Madonna has refused to rule out adopting another child. The pop superstar has a 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her relationship with Carlos Leon, and Rocco, 9, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. Madonna and Ritchie travelled to the African country of Malawi in 2006 to adopt son David Banda, and after their divorce in 2008, she returned to take home Mercy James this year. Asked whether she would consider adopting another child, the singer replied: "Never (more) »

Spotted: Kelly Osbourne Finds The Christmas Spirit
21 hours ago | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
She may have lost "Dancing with the Stars" (she was robbed!), Kelly Osbourne has kept her profile up in a much greater way than winner Donny Osmond or runner-up Mya. Osbourne seems to have fully recovered from her foot injury and used said foot to walk the red carpet at the Cracked Xmas Gala, which supports the Trevor Project, a suicide and crisis prevention hotline for gay youth. Osbourne shared the carpet with stars like "Survivor" host Jeff Probst and "How I Met Your Mother" star Jason Segal.
It's holiday party season, so Osbourne wasn't alone on the nation's red carpets. For example, »

Ask the Flying Monkey! (December 07, 2009)

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Send it to aftereltonflyingmonkey@yahoo.com! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
A Note from the Flying Monkey: I recently wrote how weird it is that, completely coincidentally, I often get a bunch of questions all at the same time clustered around a central theme. Well, almost every question I received this week had something to do with music. Check it out!
Q: Oh, Great Flying Simian Even Smarter Than the Only Other Smart Monkey I Can Think Of, Doctor Zaius: You might not have heard about it because it was very hush-hush, but Adam Lambert kissed his keyboardist during a performance at the American Music Awards. Supposedly, it wasn’t rehearsed, but done “in the moment.” So what does the keyboardist think – and is he gay? – Martin, U.S. Virgin Islands
Adam Lambert plants one on keyboardist Tommy Ratliff

Fuse's 'Top 20 Divas': Where's Cher, Whitney, and everyone else?
5 December 2009 8:27 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I love a diva. So when I saw that Fuse was doing a special titled Top 20 Divas earlier this evening at 6 p.m., I immediately set my DVR to record. Truly, I had no idea what I was getting into: Would this be a video countdown with commentary? A VH1-style special that features talking heads—and sometimes the divas themselves—discussing what makes these Top 20 divas so damned special? A mix of the two? Well, come to find out, it was just literally 20 videos from divas. But, honestly, it was one of the weirdest countdowns I've ever seen. To start with, »

ABC Relents: Adam Lambert Will Perform on "The View"
4 December 2009 7:08 PM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
I doubt he'll stretch out on the couch of The View like this.
Well, it would be irresponsible to speculate on the "why" of a change in direction from ABC at this point, but it appears that the alphabet network is ready to allow the out rocker back on its airwaves, in daytime, no less. Adam Lambert just tweeted that he will be interviewed and performing on The View December 10.
ABC hasn't put out a release yet, but Adam has - the power of Twitter.
Without a doubt, Adam will likely be watched closely, and it probably goes without saying that he'll sign one of those contracts we've heard about certifying that he won't deviate from his rehearsal. And I doubt we'll ever know whether ABC calmed down, GLAAD got through to them with their third public statement on the matter, or perhaps, Barbara Walters, who is a force to »

Spotted: Taylor Swift And Taylor Lautner Hit The Road Again
4 December 2009 9:50 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
Fresh off the news that she had been nominated for eight prizes at the 2010 Grammy Awards (which will be held in Los Angeles on January 31, 2010), Taylor Swift once again found herself cruising around L.A. with Taylor Lautner. Swift makes her film debut alongside Lautner in the movie "Valentine's Day," which will hit theaters in February. Following some work on the film, the pair rolled out to Benihana for a meal. The pair's friendship has launched thousands of Web pages worth of speculation about their relationship (Swift cheekily referenced it during her hosting stint on "Saturday Night Live" last month). Though Swift continues to win awards, »

Beatty Hangs Onto "Dick Tracy"...
4 December 2009 5:58 AM, PST | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
After years of inactivity, following his starring/directing turn in the 1990 Disney feature "Dick Tracy", actor/producer Warren 'Clyde Barrow' Beatty recently sued a unit of Tribune Co, to prevent Tribune from taking back film/TV rights to creator Chester Gould's newspaper comic strip detective character.
Budgeted at $47 million, "Dick Tracy" earned $103,738,726 domestic and $59,000,000 foreign for a worldwide box office of $162,738,726.
According to court documents, rights would revert to Tribune if "a certain period of time" lapsed without Beatty having produced another Dick Tracy movie, TV series or TV special.
Tribune sent Beatty a letter November 17, 2006, giving him two years to begin production on new "Dick Tracy" programing.
"Tribune asserted it still wanted to terminate Beatty's 'Tracy' Rights and effect a reversion, and purported to do so," the lawsuit said, with Beatty seeking a declaration that his work on a developing Dick Tracy documentary TV special precludes Tribune from »

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
The full list of nominations for the 2010 version of the Grammy Awards are out, delivered via Wednesday night's live telecast. That show also featured live performances from host LL Cool J, the Black Eyed Peas and Maxwell.

The new combo performed a new song called "Who I Am," which comes from the album of the same name that will hit stores on February 2. "It definitely was different," Nick told MTV News about performing without his brothers. "But I think going into it, knowing they »

Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels Blu-ray Review
2 December 2009 8:01 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
We’re ten years on in Guy Ritchie’s career, and from all evidence he’s about to turn the corner into pure commercial filmmaking. For most people there’s only one answer to what derailed him, and that is: Madonna. The pre-Madonna years featured Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch, the Madonna years featured Swept Away and Revolver, and the post-Madonna’s are now Rocknrolla and Sherlock Holmes, which should be one of the big pictures of 2009. My review of Guy’s Ritchie’s first film after this jump.
Lock, Stock is one of the numerous 90’s crime films to come in the wake of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. It’s a genre that burnt itself out rapidly, with only people like Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie proving themselves above the fray. The majority of the genre was overheated pabulum like Things to Do »

Spotted: Diddy Does Miami

Though Diddy is a born-and-bred New Yorker, the guy certainly gets around. He jets back and forth between coasts, is spotted all over Europe, regularly jaunts to islands and his upcoming album is called Last Train to Paris. It's gotten to the point where just about every city in the world can be considered home for the man born Sean Combs. That's why it wasn't surprising to see him in Miami yesterday. He dropped in to radio station Y100 to chat about his new album and his various other projects (including the latest on Day26 and Dirty Money). Anticipation continues to build for Diddy's new album, »

Last night saw the Broadway debut of Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who reprised her role as Roxie Hart in "Chicago" (a part she first played in London back in 2006). While Ashlee has been busy preparing for the show and taking care of her son Bronx Mowgli (who just celebrated his first birthday), Jessica Simpson has been criss-crossing the planet for her upcoming reality show "The Price of Beauty," which is set to premiere on VH1 in 2010. The show features Jessica visiting various spots around the world talking to women about what they find beautiful and the sorts of traditions and hang-ups that women hold in various cultures. »

'Good Morning America' to Chris Brown: you can talk, but you can't sing
1 December 2009 7:04 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
“Good Morning America” keeps putting its foot in its mouth. Let’s recap, shall we? First, ABC’s morning program cancels Adam Lambert’s Nov. 24 appearance after the network receives more than 1,500 complaints following his salacious show-closer, “For Your Entertainment” on Nov. 22’s “American Music Awards.” CBS’s “The Early Show” quickly grabs Lambert, who performs without incident and manages not to repeat a man-on-man kiss or grind faces into his crotch simulating oral sex. Team Lambert goes on the offensive, basically accusing anyone who complains about his Ama appearance of being homophobic since no one raised such a fuss when Madonna and Britney... »

No more surprises, or at least fewer improvisations. In the wake of Lambertgate, ABC has reportedly decided to reconsider how it prepares for live broadcasts and plans to hold performers to stricter standards in the future.
Reuters reported that following Adam Lambert's much-discussed performance at the American Music Awards last month — in which he kissed another man on the mouth, thrust a male dancer's head into his crotch and led two dancers on leashes — the network is seeking more control over how live events are structured.
Disney/ ABC Television Group President Anne Sweeney said that the network will now ask artists for assurances that their stage show will resemble their rehearsals and that ABC will seek contractual obligation to make sure artists stick to those plans. »
Spotted: Lil Mama Gives Thanks

Lil Mama got a bit of a bad rap after she jumped up on stage during Jay-z's performance with Alicia Keys at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Sure, she wasn't invited up on stage while the duo performed "Empire State of Mind," but at least she didn't confiscate the microphone the way another Vma party crasher did earlier in the evening. Following the incident, she said that she was so overcome with the awesomeness of the song (and of Brooklyn, her home borough) that she couldn't help but join Jigga and Keys.

Birthday Suits, Well Directed

Lights. Cameras. Birthday Action (for this, the 30th of November). Only one month left to go and it's 2010. How crazy is that?
Ridley, Terrence (in the 70s) and Marc
1835 Mark Twain's books have been adapted into movies ever since the movies began. Most notably The Prince and the Pauper and any tale of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer
1920 Virginia Mayo 40s and 50s star, frequent Danny Kaye foil
1926 Richard Crenna, character actor
1927 Robert Guillaume, "Benson"
1929 Dick Clark, seemingly immortal creature who may finally be destroyed by the rise of his spiritual offspring Ryan Seacrest. It's all very Cronos vs. Zeus, only without the thunderbolts
1937 Ridley Scott, manly director whose movies are usually way better when they're shot through with a strong female presence. Consider the three classics: Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien. The rest of the filmography surely has its moments but that's the trinity right there.

A Serious Man and the odd movie out
29 November 2009 1:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A Serious Man may be getting rave reviews – but it's like nothing the Coens have made before. Joe Queenan on weird one-offs and the directors who make them
About halfway through the very funny, very disturbing, very ethnic new film A Serious Man, the modern-day Job who is the serious man in question climbs up on to the roof of his ghastly 1960s Minneapolis suburban home and tries to adjust the antenna to improve his TV reception. Beleaguered on all fronts – conjugally, professionally, medically – Larry Gopnik, a dorky physics professor who may be about to lose his job and is very likely to lose his family, is a bright, principled Jewish man whose children have begged him to fix the antenna so they can watch F Troop, an idiotic 1960s comedy. Many of Larry's travails unfold as songs from Jefferson Airplane's seminal 1967 LP Surrealistic Pillow play in the background. »
