Readers of Jane magazine were polled recently and the results are in. The prefered cast for a Brokeback Mountain sequel, or at least another homosexual love scene, would be the well-groomed Orlando Bloom and the slightly effeminate Johnny Depp.
Depp has already addressed the questionable sexuality of Captain Jack Sparrow in previous interviews, and it wouldn’t surprise many to see the rake take advantage of his young friend. Somehow, I doubt that is part of the original Pirates of The Carribean 3 script!
Since my buddy Char decided to let the cat out of the bag. It’s true we are going to be launching a video blog here early next week. Good times. Hey isn’t that Brigitte?
If you ask his publicist, David Hasselhoff was not allowed to board a recent flight to because he was sick. But if you ask the British tabloid the Sun, he was denied permission to board because he was too drunk.
According to witnesses who spoke to the Sun, Hasselhoff was having trouble standing and told airport staff that he was upset about his recent divorce from Pam Bach while waiting to board his flight.
Hasselhoff seems to have had a streak of bad luck lately: he sliced three tendons and an artery in a freak shaving/chandelier incident last month. Earlier this month he was accused (he denied) of being drunk and disordely and the All England Club. Then his divorce from Pam Bach was finalized this week. Read MSN’s full story here.
What’s on the agenda for Hasselhoff? He’s looking to start something new. “I’m trying to get on a sitcom or maybe even my own show, ‘Travels With the Hoff,’” he said in a recent interview.
I’m pretty sure he was serious about the ‘Travels with the Hoff’ thing. “The Hoff”… whew. I hate it when celebrities invent nicknames for themselves and then try to get them to catch on.
Reality TV on the SCI-FI Channel has taken another push toward the extreme borders of reality. Stan Lee, the brain behind Spiderman, X-men, and several other comics-turned-movies has taken up with SCI-FI channel and Nash entertainment to torture a house full of comic conference nerds.
The contestants begin with a Super idea, a Super home-made costume, and a Super attitude. Finalists will be lead by the comic book legend through a series of challenges that might be descibed as Tests of Heroism to determine the winner.
The winner’s Superhero will be immortalized in a comic designed by Mr. Lee and will have a role in a SCI-FI Pictures original movie. Holy embarassing moments, Batman!
Jessica Simpson has changed the cover art for her upcoming album A Public Affair less than a week after we first got a peek. The original version features Jess with a sexy hairstyle and Jess’s cleavage. PR people say that the original was released before Ms. Simpson made her final choice, but I have to wonder. After all, Jennifer Lopez also has some new cover art to show, and it was remarkably similar. The cleavage shot, the hairstyle, the pale color scheme and even the title in a handwriting font were all similar.
Jess’ finalized album cover is more casual. The close head shot shows only the collar of her relaxed t-shirt and her hair is pulled back.
