Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Rumors,

Although Kristen Bell has a slate of upcoming films she’ll have to promote, the actress is still talking about an old project: Veronica Mars.

Earlier this year, creator Rob Thomas told Entertainment Weekly that a big screen version of the TV show was still a possibility. Five months later, the program’s star is still trying to keep that dream alive.

“mars fans-can we bug @wbpictures & tell em the must do a VM film?? new tactic. bombard em w/tweets, theres evidence of fans they cant ignore,” Bell wrote on her Twitter account last week. “#veronicamars fans send petitions & any obsessive behaior u have 2 @wbpictures & demand the film. they c no audience 4 it? i beg 2 differ.”

Why Was Farrah Fawcett Not Mentioned at Oscars?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity Controversy, Obituaries,

I was too distracted by Demi Moore’s thin frame last night to initially notice this omission. But let me assure you—many people on Twitter didn’t, and neither did Ryan O’Neal.

Although Patrick Swayze, David Carradine, Natasha Richardson and Michael Jackson were some of the names included in the Academy Award’s “In Memoriam” segment, one name was left off that annual list: Farrah Fawcett.

Yes, Farrah was primarily known for her television work—but she did act in a number of big screen projects including Logan’s Run, Extremities and The Apostle. (And really - does anyone think of Michael Jackson as a movie star?) But yet, despite all the tabloids her face helped sell last year (and the documentaries that ran about her health battle), the 62-year-old didn’t make the final cut. (No pun intended.)

VIDEO: Mariah Carey’s Drunken Acceptance Speech

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Videos,

When an Oscar-winning screenwriter says “Mariah Carey just gave the most awesome acceptance speech of all time,” it’s bound to get people interested.

So when Diablo Cody (Juno) tweeted that message last night, a million different scenarios ran through my head. Did Mariah accept the award on behalf of “all the Precious girls out there”? Did she say “I never thought a girl who starred in Glitter would ever earn anything but a Razzie”?

Fortunately, my guesses were nothing close to what really happened at the 2010 Palm Springs International Film Festival. While accepting the award for Breakthrough Actress, the Precious actress made us all think back to that wild interview with Carson Daly a long time ago. But in this case, I think she was simply having a very good time.

Kevin Smith’s Labor Day Twitter Marathon

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,

If you had 15 minutes to talk to Kevin Smith, what would you ask him? What if you had a whole day?

This Labor Day, the Clerks director will turn to his Twitter account to answer all your questions. The 24-hour “Tweet-A-Thon” was organized to help promote his upcoming book.

“This is not news at all. In fact, it’s kinda stupid,” Smith admitted about the stunt. “But I wanna see if I can do it. I’ve been training for this my whole life, simply by being a lazy fat-ass who’d rather stare at a screen than better himself with a brisk constitutional. Someone asked what my training regimen is gonna be, and I told them I’ve already stockpiled lots of Count Chocula.”
