Jackie O. Drama in the Works

Darren Aronofsky (Director of ‘The Wrestler’) and his real life girlfriend, Rachel Weisz, are teaming up to make a TV drama based on Jackie O.  Weisz will play Jackie, with the story based on her life during the aftermath of JFK’s assassination.  The project is in its early stages, so don’t expect to see it on television for quite some time.  Good thing that Aronofsky is only producing this, as it never seems to be healthy for a relationship when couples work too closely together.  We don’t want them going down the same ‘Revolutionary Road’ (pun intended) as Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet.

Brandon Davis Blames Rick Soloman for the Mischa Barton Fat Comment

Oil heir and resident Hollywood D-bag Brandon Davis recently made headlines by calling his ex-girlfriend, Mischa Barton, fat on his twitter page.  Here’s the comment: “Omg. Just realized my ex turned into 1 of the fattest people in the planet. I’m gonna start dating plus size models. Not! Mischa the heifer.”  He has since tweeted an explanation, blaming Rick Soloman who he says stole his phone and posted the comment.  In case you’re wondering, Davis is the same guy that called Lindsay Lohan a “firecrotch,” and Soloman is the man allegedly responsible for releasing the Paris Hilton sex tape.  Two very stand up gentleman.

Debbie Reynolds gets a Dear Debbie Column in the Globe

Debbie Reynolds has taken over Ivanka Trump’s advice column in The Globe.  Reynolds is probably perfect for this job.  She said, “I’ve lived through just about everything that can happen to anyone. I lost two children to miscarriage, lost my parents, went through three divorces and have a daughter, Carrie (Fisher), with bipolar disorder. I’m experienced at survival.”  You might remember that Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher had their own Brangelina type scandal in their day.  Fisher left Reynolds for Elizabeth Taylor shortly after Carrie Fisher was born.  Reynolds, like Aniston, was America’s sweetheart, appearing in films such as ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown.’    

Erykah Badu Likes to Frighten Little Children by Stripping Down Naked

I am a little late in reporting this story, but after hearing about it, I could not resist.  Erykah Badu stripped down naked at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, while shooting her new music video for her song ‘window seat.’  She then pretended to get shot in the head at the exact site where JFK was shot (no I did not make this up).  The problem is that she did this in a public place, with little children around.  She has since been charged with disorderly conduct and ordered to pay a fine.  Surprisingly, most of the public outrage surrounds her disrespecting JFK, and not her running around naked in public.  Had she rubbed two brain cells together, she could have shot the video with her clothes on, and later altered it to make her appear naked.  I’m sure that would destroy the “art” behind the video though.  Watch it below at your own risk.  

Top Screen Sirens Chosen – Reveals Men and Women have very Different Taste in Women

Men are always telling me that “women don’t know what a hot chick looks like.”  An argument then ensues about who is hotter: Jessica Biel or Jennifer Garner?  Well a new poll in England may solidify this point.  When asked to vote on the top screen siren of all time, women chose Audrey Hepburn, and men chose Ursula Andress, of ‘Dr. No’ fame.  See the beautiful women below.

Slash Streams his new Solo Album Online

Dangerous or genius?  Slash is streaming his new solo album online for free.  The self titled album is available for purchase on April 6th, but click the link below to hear it now.  Some of the collaborations include: Ozzy Osbourne; Chris Cornell; Fergie; Dave Grohl; Kid Rock; and Iggy Pop.  This is not the first time an artist has made their album available for free online.  In 2007, Radiohead made their album available online for whatever price people wanted to pay.  Unlike Radiohead though, Slash is not giving away the album, he is just sampling it, probably hoping that consumers will get excited and purchase it when it comes out.

Geri Halliwell Reveals why she Left ‘The Spice Girls’

Geri Halliwell told Piers Morgan that she left ‘The Spice Girls’ after being told she could not do a cancer awareness interview.  The group had an agreement that they would only do interviews together, so they refused to let Halliwell do it.  She subsequently quit.  Well, this doesn’t sound like too much of a revelation to me.  It sounds like one big petty mess that probably had some other sides to the story we aren’t hearing.  Besides, it was time for that group to end.  They ran their course.

David Mills Dies Days Before Series Premiere of ‘Treme’

David Mills, a writer for both ‘ER’ and ‘The Wire,’ sadly died at 48 years old in New Orleans.  He was living in New Orleans while writing episodes for ‘Treme,’ the new HBO series set to air on April 11, 2010.  ‘Treme’ follows the lives of New Orleans residents three months after Hurricane Katrina.  According to the Huffington Post, Mills began his career as a Washington Post journalist, until later changing fields to become a screenwriter. 

Mtv Renews ‘The Real World’ for Three More Seasons

I cannot decide if this is good or bad news.  This show has been unwatchable for a very long time.  I am still holding out hope that it will return to its roots and pick a compelling cast, but I think that’s a long shot.  I guess there are enough drunken idiots in the world to keep this show going for 20 more years.
