Paula Abdul not Joining Broadway’s ‘In the Heights’

I spoke to soon.  The good news is, I can continue bashing Abdul’s new management team.  A representative for the Broadway Production ‘In the Heights,’ has said that the rumors about Abdul taking on the role of Priscilla Lopez aren’t true.  I’m not sure why there are so many announcements about Abdul’s career choices that prove to be false.  So far she has been rumored to be a judge on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and ‘X Factor,’ a host of a resurrected ‘Star Search,’ and then a cast member for ‘In the Heights.’  I’m don’t know what is going on with her, or when any of the rumors surrounding her next career step will prove to be true.  I do love Paula though, and I’m still holding out for her to sit next to Simon on ‘X Factor.’

Judge Says Mtv Can Air ‘Jersey Shore’ Episodes

Two individuals were denied their request to block episodes that showed them fighting with cast members on Mtv’s ‘Jersey Shore.’  The individuals involved in the fight were a police officer and his wife.  The police officer was fired from his job after the show aired.  This marks the second lawsuit filed in an effort to block ‘Jersey Shore’ episodes from airing.  The first suit involved a man that was punched by cast member Ronnie.  ‘Jersey Shore’ fans may remember him lying in the street unconscious while Ronnie was being arrested.  The man argued that even though his face was blurred in the episode, his identity was obvious because of his tattoos.  The Judge denied his request.  See the cast below. 

Rosie O’Donnell Explains why she was at Donald Trump’s Wedding

On the first week of ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ Donald Trump told Cindi Lauper in the boardroom that Rosie O’Donnell attended his wedding to Marla Maples.  Lauper looked confused, and so was I.  Were Trump and Rosie friends once upon a time?  Why would she be there?  Well, Rosie recently cleared up the mystery, posting a picture on her blog, and stating that she went as someone’s date.  See Donald tell Cindi the news below, and click on the link to see the picture of Rosie at the wedding.

Kate Gosselin Really Wants to Stay on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

In a recent interview with People, Kate Gosselin said how much she hopes to stay in the dancing competition, because she “really likes it.”  Though I’m sure Gosselin is enjoying herself, the real reason most of these celebrities hope to stay as long as possible, is that they get paid per episode. The longer they stay, the bigger the check. Since Gosselin has eight children to support, and she is no longer generating income from TLC, I would imagine that she is trying pretty hard.  I’d like to see her stay too, given that she seems to be the only non dancer/performer/athlete.

Donald Trump is Still Talking About Rosie O’Donnell

Did Rosie O’Donnell kill his first born child and we don’t know about it?  When asked about Rosie’s return to television, Trump called her a “loser,” and a “failure.”  This feud all began when Rosie mocked Trump on ‘The View.’  While it’s true that Rosie started it, I’m not sure that Trump needs to keep it going.  I speculate that something happened between them prior to Rosie insulting him on ‘The View,’ and it was never made public.  That’s the only thing I can think of that would merit this level of animosity.  Otherwise, he might need to attend some serious therapy.  Watch Rosie throwing the alleged first punch below.  

Fox Brings ’24’ to an End

After much speculation, it’s been confirmed that the eighth season of ’24’ is the last.  The last episode will air on May 24th.  Kiefer Sutherland and executive producer Howard Gordon also nixed rumors that NBC might house the show, saying that they were both ready to call it quits.  On a brighter note, Sutherland confirmed that a ’24’ film is in the works, and that the last season of the show lead into an upcoming film.   

Uma Thurman’s New Film ‘Motherhood’ has Bombed After a Ghastly British Movie Release Experiment

Some genius producer for Uma Thurman’s new film, ‘Motherhood,’ decided that it would be a great idea to release the film in only one theater in England, hoping that the buzz would ultimately drive up the profit.  Needless to say, the idea was a gigantic misfire, and the film made about $130 bucks.  Now the bad press and poor word of mouth will destroy the film, which could have had a big opening weekend with more theaters.  Good job guys.

 

‘Project Runway’ Designer Anthony Williams Calls Heidi Klum a "Hanger"

Anthony Williams, the recently ousted “Project Runway’ designer, made some very bold comments about Heidi Klum in an interview with Movieline.  When asked if he respected her opinion, he said “the only time I thought that her thoughts were of great merit in my mind was when she was talking to the models of the runway. Because that’s her profession. In my mind, she’s a beautiful hanger. In my house, hangers don’t talk.”  Wow, he sure said what I’ve been thinking for a long time.  She isn’t a designer.  She’s a model.  Certainly she can have a valuable opinion, but unlike Ellen Degeneres on ‘American Idol,’ the show doesn’t represent her as the layman.  See some pictures from Anthony’s Bryant Park collection.  He was amongst the top ten designers that showed at Fashion Week, but only the top three will make it to air.  It’s unfortunate that you won’t see his collection on television, because it is so stunning. 

3D Movies Cause a Major Ticket Price Increase

Attention movie lovers!  You might not be able to afford the movies anymore.  This 3D movie craze is greatly costing the consumer.  Ticket prices for 3D movies have increased by 20%, and just about every upcoming movie will be in 3D, in an effort by studios to drain us of every last penny.  This 3D craze hasn’t been in effect long enough to see how moviegoers will respond.  I hate ‘Avatar’ more and more everyday for this crap.  The whole reason I even went to see ‘Avatar’ was because I thought it was this unique event that I wouldn’t be able to ever get again, especially if I were to rent the movie later.  Now that every film is in 3D, I’ll definitely think twice about spending the money.  It’s not worth the $20 dollars or the subsequent headache and eye pain that I get after seeing it.  Ticket buyers need to “vote with their wallets.”
