28 November 2009 8:27 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

Eddie Murphy's "The Adventure of Pluto Nash" is the No. 1 flop of the decade according to The Hollywood Reporter. Big budgets, big stars with big egos, all clash to give us the biggest flops of the past ten years.

"Pluto Nash" was made for $100 million and only grossed $4.4 million, even out-flopping John Travolta's Scientology-homage "Battlefield Earth."

But Murphy and Travolta are not the only ones on the list. Nicole Kidman, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, and Halle Berry also made the cut. Even Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez were not safe!

What other films made it to the Top 10? Here's the complete list of the Top 10 Flops of the Decade, The Biggest Turkeys:

1. The Adventures Of Pluto Nash

* Release date: August 6, 2002

* Estimated cost: $100 million

* Domestic gross: $4.4 million

2. Battlefield Earth

* Release date: May 12, 2000

* Estimated cost: $75 million

* Domestic gross: $21 million

3. Land Of The Lost

27 November 2009 5:26 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Eddie Murphy movie The Adventures Of Pluto Nash has topped a new industry poll of the film flops of the new century.

Also making the top 10 flops are Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse, Catwoman starring Halle Berry, Gigli and summer film Land of the Lost. »

Shakira finds new passion for golf

25 November 2009 11:10 PM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

London, Nov 26 (Ians) Colombian pop star Shakira seems to be following Halle Berry and Celine Dion’s footsteps — the singer is the latest celebrity to get hooked to golf.

‘I’m really bad at sports, believe it or not. If you throw a ball at me it will probably break my face because I have no reflexes whatsoever. But, in golf, you just need concentration, of which I have plenty and a hip swing,’ contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

Fellow Latino George Lopez gave the singer a golfing edge when he presented her with a customised putter. »

25 November 2009 2:50 AM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

London, Nov 25 (Ians) Oscar winner Halle Berry says she is more concerned about taking care of her skin rather than dabbing make-up for her public appearances.

‘I’m not one of those people who opts for plastic surgery, so my philosophy is to take care of what you have. I’m really serious about my skin-care regimen at night. I never ever go to bed or even nap with make-up on,’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted Berry as saying.

Precious and Painful

23 November 2009 10:29 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In the films of Lee Daniels, horror is expressed through a claustrophobic Black pain that Hollywood finds absolutely compelling. In Precious, the fifth film that Daniels has either produced or directed, he returns to the formula that won him acclaim and won Halle Berry an Oscar for her role in Monster's Ball -- poor Black women are pathetic, sick and incapable of caring for themselves or their children. Not so much buzz came to Daniels for his second, third and fourth films. The third, "Shadow Boxer," was also an odious tale of death and quasi-incest, and rated high on the gag-with-a-spoon meter but it involved a beyond middle-aged White woman played by Helen Mirren. So now, even after declaring to one reporter that he is no longer going to make movies for "Black people" (as if Monster's Ball was for us!),... »

50 Cent gets very domesticated in his video for "Baby by Me." He has a wife (played by Kelly Rowland) and the three kids (triplet boys), and he flips burgers on the grill after a hard day at work.

Fif said the role wasn't too much of a stretch.

"I would actually yell at Kelly," Fif laughed. "I'd be like, 'You don't do nothing right. I told you to have one baby and you had three! You don't do nothing right!' "

Getting more serious, 50 said he seriously thinks about settling down.

"I think it could happen," he said. "You know, it has to be at the right time. I mean, you see Em make a decision to go home. »

If Not Rachel, Then Does Julia Stiles = Black Cat, Then?

17 November 2009 7:25 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Hot on the heels of the (now debunked) Rachel McAdams rumor, Ugo has learned that Julia Stiles has met with a casting company in New York to discuss "Spider-Man 4." Although no specifics have been learned as to what role Stiles is circling, everyone of course assumes it will be Black Cat. Well, if that is the villain Raimi is indeed pursuing for this chapter, I must say I am against it. She's too similar to Catwoman for one thing. I mean, a cat burglar who has a forbidden sexual attraction with a costumed superhero? It's gonna seem like a rip off, no matter which feline villainess was around first, because Catwoman is definitely the more well known character (ignoring the Halle Berry fiasco, of course). Also, what we don't need in "Spidey 4" is yet another love triangle, which wasn't very well received in "Spidey 3."Speaking of, I shall now throw »

50 Cent: Too Cool To Self Destruct

16 November 2009 2:36 PM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

Of all the artists that pass through the MTV headquarters here in New York every week, there are few that bring the same level of excitement to the building that 50 Cent does. With his fourth studio album Before I Self Destruct set to hit stores, the G-Unit General is hard at work on the promo trail talking about everything from music to his rivals. Interviewing 50 never gets old. He has as much charisma as he does bottles of Vitamin Water in his fridge, so whenever he comes in for a big sit-down interview you never know what to expect.

It's an interesting time for 50. He's nearing the end of his five album deal with Interscope, and he appears to have come full circle, as the aggression of his debut Get Rich or Die Tryin' is matched only by the new album. Despite having a reported $300 million in the bank and an empire that spans clothing, »
