Juicy Hollywood Tidbits – April 18, 2007

In the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, small pieces of Hollywood news keep trickling in. Here is some of the latest: He’s a Hunk, but Is He a Hulk? The answer is, apparently, yes! If you have read a few of my past blogs, you know I absolutely love Edward Norton. Now, he has been named to play scientist/superhero Bruce Banner in the big screen version of The Incredible Hulk.

A heavy rug will also feel cozy and absorb noise, two things which are necessary when dealing with … Continue reading →

I opened one of my trash mags today to see that not one, not two, but three big action heroes of the 80s were making a comeback. I had hears there was a Rocky 6 in the works. Actually, the film is titled “Rocky Balboa” and in it, Sylvester Stallone plays the beloved boxer once again. This time Rocky is older, … Continue reading →
