Russell Crowe Infatuated With Bows and Arrows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Gladiator Russell Crowe is “in love” with archery.
The actor learned how to use a bow and arrow ahead of taking on the title role in Robin Hood and believes his training made the movie better.
“It’s a bit like learning golf, which I did for The Insider. And man, I loved it. It’s great. I said to the guy who was teaching me, ‘I’m in love with the flight. I just love it when the arrow is released from the bow…’ and he was like, ‘Well, it’s your sport then.’ We’ve done so much more than we expected to do in the film in terms of being able to get actual shots in there where we can shoot an arrow and a target. But you can only do that sort of stuff if you really take the time to learn the sport. It’s cool man, very cool.”
Russell also singled out a battle scene set in Pembrokeshire, Wales, as his favorite to film: “It was incredible. We had 130 horses going at full gallop on that beautiful beach and 500-odd extras on foot. The adrenaline rush was extraordinary.”

Previously Unpublished Marilyn Monroe Photos Discovered
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Photos,
A collection of rarely-seen, unpublished photos of a young Marilyn Monroe has been unearthed by Life magazine. Monroe, 24 at the time the pics were taken, was only on the brink of stardom when photographer Ed Clark captured her beauty for the cameras.
The 1950 shoot contains photos of a fresh-faced young starlet who, at the time, was innocent of Presidential affairs and the staggering lows of multiple divorces. Monroe, who died tragically at age 36, would have been 83 years old today.

Mariah Carey pays for her entourage to go to Cannes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music,
Mariah Carey has paid for her entourage to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Mariah, who is renowned for her diva-like behavior, was told there were not enough free tickets for her staff to attend the prestigious event and see her new movie Precious. Rather than be separated from her team, Mariah shelled out for a number of exclusive passes to ensure they could all go together.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Mariah’s really close with her team and couldn’t bear the thought of a couple of people not being able to come, so she paid for it out of her pocket. That’s virtually unheard of in the celebrity world.”

Joaquin Phoenix: Just a Nut?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
Joaquin Phoenix has been making waves - and scoring parodies - for his new disheveled look and reticent manner. Hollywood buzz has it that Phoenix is doing it all for the sake of a documentary, but one psychiatrist has stepped forward with an entirely different - and not so lighthearted - theory.
Paul Dobransky is a relationships expert and an author. The doctor points to signs of schizophrenia in the actor’s behavior, saying “there is something wrong,” adding, “and it’s beyond drug abuse.” He pointed to Ben Stiller’s Oscar skit (which poked fun at Phoenix and became a highlight of the evening), saying “I was pretty offended by that skit at the Oscars,” in recent comments to the Times. “It struck me as potentially beating down on the mentally ill.”
Now, that’s bold. Susan Patricola, who’s the current publicist for Phoenix, fired back. “How absolutely inappropriate for a doctor who has no personal interaction or relationship with someone to diagnose them. And to do so in a public forum,” she scoffed. Patricola called the comments “astonishingly inappropriate!”
“The jury is not exactly in on what is happening,” Dobransky commented. “Whatever it is, it’s not funny.”

Joaquin Phoenix Talks About His Look
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Joaquin Phoenix recently made the shocking announcement that he was leaving his film career behind and subsequently began growing a wild, untended beard and letting his brown locks hang long. He also seems to be launching a new career as a rapper.
The actor offered some insight into his new look in The Sun.
“It’s been important for me to just do something that’s extreme—that really separates me from that public Joaquin Phoenix persona,” he explained. His look certainly is extreme. But then the actor-turned-something else added, “Maybe I’m just lazy.”
Many have said the Phoenix career switch-up is all a hoax, part of some sort of promotional effort for a documentary which, it’s said, is being created by Casey Affleck and Phoenix. A lackluster performance given by Phoenix seems to confirm the rumors. By the way, the video of Phoenix falling off the stage is still being bandied about the Internet.

Lindsay Lohan Wants More Opportunity
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?,
“I want to do all the things that will make me feel fulfilled. But whenever I do those things, people think it’s a press stunt or something.” This was only one of many things Lindsay Lohan said to Lauren Hutton in her new piece with Interview Magazine. The cover shows Linds making a weird face, and the interview itself is supposed to offer a more intimate look at Lohan.
However, she spends most of her time complaining about the paps. “You know, my car accident that I got into, where I got my first charge, I wouldn’t have been speeding up like I was if I didn’t have people shoving cameras in my windows,” she explained.
So…why not just drop out of the biz entirely? In later comments, Lindsay offered a little insight into her own goals. “I wanted to be a movie star,” she admitted. “But, movie stars are not what they used to be.” Sister, you’re preachin’ to the choir on that one.
“I work just as hard as any other actress around my age,” Lindsay said, “but I just don’t get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.”

Entertainment Industry Reacts to Hudson Tragedy
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Breaking News,
“I’m planning on touring,” Jennifer Hudson smiled and spoke enthusiastically only weeks ago. “There’s more films and more music and stuff like that [in the future],” she said. “I want to start a fashion line as well, start writing music.” After her breakout performance in Dreamgirls, appearing as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the runaway hit chick flick Sex and the City and with a new album and movie already making waves, Jennifer Hudson’s life seemed charmed. Today, the effervescent star is at the center of a grisly tragedy.
Engaged to David Otunga and on the brink of what appears to be an extremely successful career, Hudson talked of her many future plans. “It’s gonna be a production,” she said of her wedding. “I have so many visions for it right now - I get to put that together.”
Hudson, 27, had the world at her feet only last week. Now, she probably feels the weight of the world crashing down on her shoulders. Over the weekend, Hudson’s mother and brother were victims of domestic violence, events which proved fatal for both. On Monday, the star was in Chicago identifying the body of her nephew Julian, 7, who had gone missing after the killings took place.

Tom Cruise Dead! No, Wait, Just His Career
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Breaking News,
An agent for Tom Cruise was forced into releasing a statement today regarding the actor after rumors spread through cyberspace that he’s dead. The story said Cruise had tumbled in New Zealand, suffering fatal injuries.
“This is completely not true. Tom is not in New Zealand, nor has he been there recently. This is erroneous and unreliable Internet garbage,” were the words from Jeff Raymond, Cruise PR rep.
The news quickly made the rounds of U.S.-based gossip sites before moving all the way to Singapore and beyond, putting Cruise in the spotlight for the first time in several weeks. Two years ago, stories circulated that actor Tom Hanks fell from the same cliffs mentioned in the report.
Katie Holmes, wife to Cruise, will appear on Broadway this very night to officially open her show, “All My Sons.” Cruise will no doubt appear in the audience, proving that he’s hale and healthy after all. It’s really his career which has been taking a plummeting nose-dive, not the man himself.

Madonna Tell-All: Do You Care?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
Madonna’s plan was “to rule the world,” when she spoke to Dick Clark on American Bandstand. The then-80s singer was decked out in her black lace best and still singing songs like “Borderline” at the time. How were we to know she would become one of the world’s biggest stars, winning accolades in not just the music industry but movies as well? Irreverent and irrepressible, Madonna quickly became the queen of pop.
It was only a matter of time before somebody released a tell-all book detailing her exploits. I just thought it would be Sean Penn.
