Sarah Palin to Pick Up a Pen?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Some are estimating that governor Sarah Palin could make as much as $7 million to put her thoughts to paper in a book. This huge total is just $3 million shy of the sum Bill Clinton received for his 2001 tome. Clinton’s staggering paycheck was the largest ever awarded a former president for a book deal.
Currently, paparazzi are chasing Palin and snapping her pic at every opportunity. Some say these pictures could go for as little as $300, but others say a Palin shot could fetch something in the five-figure range.
Palin drew attention early for her folksy charm and homespun catchphrases. Her party did not win the election, but Palin seems to have won her place in the public eye. With reports of a possible pundit spot, a talk show gig and now a multi-million-dollar book deal, Palin’s future looks bright - and highly, highly public.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Drama, Casting, Celeb News, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Ben Affleck will soon be following up his critically-acclaimed work on Gone Baby Gone with another Massachusetts-set drama.
For The Town, Affleck will be wearing three hats at the same time. In addition to directing and acting, the Oscar winner (Good Will Hunting) will make tweaks to a screenplay already started by Peter Craig and Chuck Hogan. (Hogan is the author of the book - Prince of Thieves - on which this movie is based.) Last year, Ben and Aaron Stockard worked on adapting the Dennis Lehane novel for Gone.
In the Warner Bros. production, Ben will play a career thief who becomes romantically-involved with a bank manager. Unfortunately, an FBI agent hunting the criminal also has his eyes set on the same woman.
Affleck, who is currently filming Mike Judge’s Extract, already has two films scheduled for release next year. He’s Just Not That Into You hits theaters in February while State of Play arrives in April.

Lynne Spears: From Parenting to Provocative
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Breaking News,
Lynne Spears, mother to Britney and Jamie, is going to make sure she’s every bit as interesting as reality star and parent Dina Lohan. The famous mom has been working for many months on a promised parenting book, which was already halted (“postponed the book indefinitely” was the way the publishers put it) when the news first broke that Jamie Lynn (16) was pregnant.
The book will indeed be released September 16, but it’s now much less a parenting manual and more a juicy account of what it’s like to raise two stars. The tome’s official title is Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

How I Met Your Mother Publishes The Bro Code
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip, News,
Forget Robin Sparkles videos. The creators of How I Met Your Mother will soon be putting out something far more culturally significant: The Bro Code.
Those who followed Season 3 remember The Bro Code was something Barney Stimson (Neil Patrick Harris) violated when he ended up sleeping with Ted’s ex. Hoping to repair the relationship with his “bro”, Barney seeks Marshall’s legal help.
In the episode, we learned more about Stimson’s “list of Dos and Don’ts for all bros.” (You can see that clip from “The Goat” after the jump.) Articles in the book - which supposedly originated from a conversation between George Washington and Benjamin Franklin - include:
Article #1: Bros before Hos.
Article #34: Bros can not make eye contact during a ‘Devil’s Three-Way.’ (Two dudes.)
Article #89: The mom of a bro is always off-limits but the stepmom of a bro is fair game if she initiates it and/or is wearing at least one article of leopard print clothing.

Madonna’s Brother Dishes the Dirt
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Sports, Rumors,
Last week, we told you how Madonna’s brother was attempting to capitalize on the singer’s fame. Now Christopher Ciccone has officially started blabbing about his new tell-all, Life with My Sister Madonna, on the airwaves.
In the first part of his Good Morning America‘s interview, Ciccone nicely defends his older sis on the Alex Rodriguez allegations but then accuses her of using kabbalah to “validate” some of her own bad behavior. He also goes on to label Guy Ritchie a homophobe and blames the director for splitting the siblings apart.
