Mike Myers: The Bomb or Just Bombing?

What’s up with Mike Myers? Have you seen the papers recently? The media has unleashed a litany of negative articles on the actor with headlines ranging from “Mike Myers: Cooked or Just Simmering?” to “Mike Myers all Washed Up.” And in the current issue of Rolling Stone, a reporter asks: “Is the failure of The Love Guru merely a slip or a sign of dire things to come?” Which leads to my question: Is the failure of “The Love Guru” really to blame for this media massacre? Sure, critics called Myers latest movie “reprehensible,” while others considered it a “critical … Continue reading →

Poor Heather Locklear – beautiful though she is, she been through quite a bit in the past few years.

Johnny Depp Gives Away His Fedora

I have always loved Johnny Depp, every since he appeared in “21 Jumpstreet.” But, his reputation has not always been the best. Johnny has always been known for his choice in accepting quirky roles others would refuse. I mean can you see Leonardo DiCaprio as Edward Scissorhands? This need to go his own way with roles has led much of Hollywood to think he is a bit odd. During the early 90s, he had a few run-ins with the law. He was arrested in 1994 for damaging a $1,200 a night room at the Mark Hotel in New York City. … Continue reading →

Huckabee Joins Fox and Cusack Joins Team Obama

If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em. That could be Mike Huckabee’s new mantra. The former Republican presidential hopeful plans to join the profession that he infamously slammed while serving as governor of Arkansas. Huckabee announced that he has accepted a new job at Fox News Channel as a political commentator. The ordained Baptist preacher turned politico will reportedly aid Fox as it navigates through the muddy waters of the 2008 presidential elections. The former governor dropped out of the presidential race in March, after John McCain won enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination. “I hope to bring the … Continue reading →

Angelina Jolie—-Plus Two Minus One

Word has it Angelina Jolie is still pregnant, but the soon to be mother of twins is minus a job today. According to reports, the female half of Brangelina will no longer be the face of St. John knitwear. The actress’ three-year deal with the company has expired and execs with the fashion house say they are moving on without her. “Three years is a long time to maintain any campaign, and we felt it was time to do something new and different,” St. John’s chief executive officer recently told reporters.

Focus On: Paul Newman—A Big Screen Giant

I doubt even Paul Newman could have predicted that one day his mug would be plastered on the front of salad dressing bottles and popcorn boxes. But such is life as a one of the recognizable movie stars that has ever graced the silver screen. And what a life it has been… Newman was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1925 and raised in the humble Midwest. What most people don’t realize about the legendary movie icon is that he was a hit on Broadway long before he made his first film. Newman’s debut on the big screen didn’t come until … Continue reading →

Is Paul Newman Near Death?

Several news organizations seem to think so. A number of published reports claim the 83-year-old Oscar winner is dying. “Paul Newman Gravely Ill with Cancer,” screams one headline. “Newman Knocking on Death’s Door,” reads another. The buzz about the actor’s health has reached epic proportions, yet the only word from Newman’s camp came in the form of a statement released yesterday saying: “Newman says he’s doing nicely.” That’s it. No denial. No confirmation. Just a simple sentence that fails to answer many of the questions Newman’s fans have been posting on his company’s website. The whole Paul-Newman-is-dying brouhaha started when … Continue reading →
