SUPERMAN - is being produced by Christopher Nolan and written by Nolan and David Goyer (they directed and wrote ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘the Dark Knight’), and today it was announced that it will be directed by Zack Snyder, who directed ‘300’ and ‘Watchmen’. Will it be in 3D? Maybe. Will it have tons of slow motion bullshit and homoerotic outfits? Yes. (LA Times)
50 CENT - might have been on a date last night in New Orleans with Chelsea Handler. I’ve got a good feeling about these two. Wedding bells can’t be far off, I bet. (tmz)
READER EMAIL - Dan wants to know: “Are you seriously so god damn dumb you can’t even use ‘to’ or ‘too’ correctly?” Well, if you see it wrong on the page, then apparently I am. Not sure I can make it much more clear than that.
KATY PERRY - was in Munich this weekend for Oktoberfest and to do some weird German TV show. Since she’s weird as hell too it was the most perfect fit since I hosted a show on the Handsome Man Channel.
When T.I. and his visually disturbing wife Tiny Cottle were arrested in West Hollywood Wednesday night for possession of a controlled substance, reportedly marijuana and meth, it was a clear violation of his probation, and as the LA Times says, “the case has the potential to put one of music’s top names in behind bars yet again.”
Ahh, but wait just one second, because 50 Cent went on twitter with a magic solution…
Man TI and Tiny done got picked up again for methamphetmines and ecstasy dam man. Tiny gotta take that charge. Say it was yours baby.
If Tiny doesn’t volunteer, T.I. should just blame her anyway. I don’t know if they’re friends, or if rap guys have a problem taking advice from one another, but T.I. should listen to 50. Just the fact that he never married anyone that ugly already makes him a thousand times smarter than T.I.
Every now and then you see some lunatic actor shed a ton of weight for a movie role like Christian Bale in ‘the Machinist’ or Matt Damon in ‘whatever that Meg Ryan war movie was called’. But you don’t expect it from someone like 50 Cent. This is 50 says…
He dropped from 214 pounds to an astonishing 160 with a liquid diet and three-hour-a-day treadmill walks for nine weeks.
“I was starving.” Now he’s back on tour and says, “I’ve been eating. I’ll be back in shape in no time!”
I bet this movie sucks because quality movies don’t need gimmicks. ‘Ghosts of Girlfriends Past’ would be a good example. Was it funny and sexy? You bet it was, but it also opened up a dialogue across America, without relying on some crutch. It seems that 50 has a lot to learn about being an actor.
Polonious said “brevity is the soul of wit” in Hamlet, and I don’t know what the fuck that means because quite frankly I can barely even read, but I think it might be relevant to twitter. Because on there you’re forced to make every update no more than one or two sentences. Lots of big stars use twitter all the time to keep in touch with fans, or another way to say that is that they don’t use twitter at all and someone else writes the entries for them. The New York Times says…
In its short history, Twitter — a microblogging tool that uses 140 characters in bursts of text — has become an important marketing tool for celebrities, promising a level of intimacy never before approached online.
But someone has to do all that writing, even if each entry is barely a sentence long. In many cases, celebrities and their handlers have turned to outside writers who keep fans updated on the latest twists and turns, often in the star’s own voice.
Britney, 50 Cent and Kanye are the three big names they list as using a ghost writer, which is surprising because I go to lots of haunted house movies and black people are terrified of ghosts. Not me though. I'm brave. Except when I see Kirsten Dunst. When this picture came out my friends found me the next day trembling under the table like an orphaned baby deer.
50 Cent rolled up big when he checked into the famous Mayfair hotel in London last night, driving a Rolls Royce and followed by a stretch Hummer with 15 of his boys inside. But then the keys to the Rolls got locked inside, and his entourage of savvy geniuses did what anyone would do when locked out of a 200,000 dollar car, namely yank on the frame and bend the door and poke a jagged coat hanger around inside. The Daily Mail says…
As his Rolls-Royce descended on the Mayfair Hotel, passers-by were in doubt that a superstar was in town. But things soon took a less glamorous turn when the keys got locked inside the car - forcing his security guard to break in with a coat hanger. To rub salt in the wound, the incident also drew the attention of a parking warden - who promptly issued a ticket.
I told my racist mechanic about this and he said it broke his heart to see stuff like that in a Rolls. And I said, a hanger? And he said, no, and then kind of snickered. I said I didn’t get it and he said yeah you wouldn’t ya fairy. People sure are funny sometimes.
