What's the verdict: Beyonce's '1 + 1' videoBeyonce debuted the video for her latest single "1 + 1" Thursday night on her official website and it's pretty, well, wet. The action kicks off with what appear to be a pretty sweaty Beyonce, unless she has happened upon the mother of all glittery moisturizers. Water runs as Beyonce sings "Make love to me," she sweats some more, rubs an ice cube on herself, cries big tears and at one point emerges from a bath tub. She also does a little bit of stripping and dons a few provocative outfits - including what appears to be a sheer tank top and a leopard-printed two-piece complete with a garter. FULL POST Dan Aykroyd: 'Ghostbusters 3' is officially a goWho ya gonna call? Maybe not Bill Murray. Dan Aykroyd, the man behind the “Ghostbusters” movies, says the hotly-anticipated "Ghostbusters 3" will finally start filming this spring. With or without Bill Murray. “Yes, we will be doing the movie and hopefully with Mr. Murray," Aykroyd told Dennis Miller on his radio show. "That is our hope. We have an excellent script.” But while he admits, “Billy was absolutely the lead and contributed to it in a massive way,” Aykroyd points out, “The concept is much larger than any individual role.” FULL POST Weeklies cheat sheet: Oh, baby (and a wedding)Your favorite celebrity weeklies had to drag Jennifer Aniston back out this week, because - with the notable exception of In Touch Weekly's Will Smith/Jada Pinkett saga - Kim Kardashian's wedding eclipsed everything else that was happening. Kardashian (Mrs. Humphries, now, we suppose) only takes the top cover spot on one magazine this week, though, a nice change of pace. Enjoy it while it lasts! While you were working...Today's news you might've missed:
'SATC 3' not in the works, not out of the questionDespite admitting to the “potential” for a third “Sex and the City” movie, Sarah Jessica Parker says nothing is officially in the works. “In all candor I will say that there are no plans thus far for a ‘Sex and the City 3’ movie or to my knowledge a prequel,” SJP tells CNN. However, the actress is quick to add that a third film is not out of the question. She says that just because it’s not happening in the near future, “that doesn’t mean that down the road that it might be considered.” LiLo keeps the Marilyn Monroe comparisons comingWe’ve seen this comparison before (from Lindsay Lohan), but LiLo thinks she and Marilyn Monroe are two peas in a pod. Megan Fox may be giving up her fixation on the “negative character,” but La Lohan is still into Monroe. The starlet wrote the foreword for Susan Bernard's new book “Marilyn: Intimate Exposures,” reports Radar Online. "People in their mind have created who I am and act as if there is no real person inside of me. Just like Marilyn,” Linds writes. Olivia Munn explains calling Justin Bieber a 'billion-dollar mistake'Olivia Munn's character in “I Don't Know How She Does It” calls Justin Bieber - born to a teen mom - a "billion-dollar mistake." Facing Belieber backlash, Munn explained the joke to Access Hollywood. "Look, Justin Bieber was a mistake,” Munn, 31, said of the crack. (Bieber’s mom, Pattie Lynn Mallette, was 18 when she gave birth to the future superstar.) “Teenagers don't get pregnant on purpose, OK? However, that mistake turned into a billion dollar idea!" The actress also added that perhaps if more teenagers procreated, their resulting pop star progeny could save our economy. (Um, has she seen “Teen Mom”?) Irene forces Disney to cancel Broadway showsAs movie theaters up and down the East Coast brace for the possible financial impact of Hurricane Irene, Broadway is also feeling it. According to a press release from Disney Theatrical productions, "all performances of 'The Lion King' at the Minskoff Theatre and 'Mary Poppins' at the New Amsterdam Theatre Saturday, August 27th and Sunday, August 28th are cancelled due to Hurricane Irene." On Friday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a press conference that officials will consider evacuating low-lying areas such as Coney Island and Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn; Far Rockaway and Broad Channel in Queens; some areas in Staten Island; and Battery Park City in Manhattan Disney Theatrical Productions said they made the decision to cancel the performances "in the interest of its patrons’ and staff’s safety following the announcement of the impending suspension of MTA and Metro North service.
Update 5:00 p.m. – According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clearview Cinemas will be shutting all of its 57 theaters on Saturday and Sunday because of the hurricane. The theaters are located from Philadelphia to New York City. “Out of concern for the safety of our guests and staff, all Clearview Cinemas will be closed on Saturday August 27th and Sunday August 28th," said a statement from the company. "We plan to reopen on Monday August 29th. Wishing you and your family a very safe weekend." Superhero 'Deadman' coming to TV?Wonder Woman may not have worked out, but the CW is hoping that Deadman will have better luck on the small screen, according to Deadline. Eric Kripke, creator of the long-running fan favorite "Supernatural," is developing the DC Comics series for television, according to the site. The CW (and the WB before it) had great success with "Smallville," which recently ended its ten year run, so it makes sense that they would be on the lookout for a new superhero series. Kris Jenner to join 'The Talk'Kardashian mom-ager Kris Jenner will join CBS’s daytime chat show “The Talk,” according to Entertainment Weekly. Jenner, 55, and conservative comedian Sheryl Underwood will be the new hosts on the show, as Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete won't be returning. Underwood calls herself "a sexually progressive God-fearing black Republican.” And Jenner, of course, runs the Kardashian empire, and appears on her family’s reality shows - “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” wedding specials, etc. |
