First ‘Bond 22’ Set Pics, Speculation on Gemma’s Role

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,

With filming less than a week old, an entire mini-gallery of photos have arrived from the set of Bond 22. Some of those are 'out of the office' shots of M, played of course by Judi Dench. In the shots that leaked out we see M and one of her confederates walking down some London street -- the kind of scene that will probably comprise two to three seconds of screen time in the finished film, if at all. Some snaps of Daniel Craig were also obtained by JustJared this week and picked up by MI6, when the actor showed up to film some scenes at Burwood Place, London. According to the report on MI6, some are saying that the local fire department was on hand to help the production create fake rain for the location shoot, but this isn't confirmed. The only other thing to be said about the shots is that they are completely unrevealing of anything about the film, other than the fact that it's actually shooting.

Meanwhile, MI6 is also reporting that according to their sources, Gemma Arterton's role in the new Bond film is "not the major role," meaning the real Bond girl has yet to be cast. They stress that "extensive" casting searches have focused on finding a Latin American actress for that position and they also say that Moneypenny is not thought to figure into this film -- so who is Arterton playing? The fact that her given name is "Fields" instead of something like Baroness von Whoever, I now think it's likely to assume that she's some new MI6 recruit who either gets killed early on or turns out to be a villain later in the piece like Rosamund Pike in Die Another Day.

TV Review: Nick Airs Second Zoey 101 Movie, “Goodbye Zoey”

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

So. Not. Cool.
We were on our knees. We were literally on our knees. Last year, Zoey 101 aired their first TV movie, "Spring Break-Up". The movie basically dealt with the relationship between Zoey (Jamie Lynn Spears) and Chase (Sean Flynn). Chase had been crushing for Zoey for two years. Best friend Michael (Chris Massey) kept bugging Chase to tell Zoey…

Jack Black to Be a Dad Again

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

Jack Black and Tanya HadenJack Black and wife Tanya Haden are adding another baby to their family, the actor said Saturday.

“Yes, she’s expecting,” Black told reporters at the Be Kind Rewind press day at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. He declined to name a due date.

The couple, who eloped in March 2006, are already parents to a 1½-year-old boy.

So far, Black says he’s taken on parenting with a “day-by-day” strategy. “I’ve been told that two children is three times as hard as one child,” he joked, “but then strangely three children is easier than one.”

Rapper T.I. and His Girlfriend Expecting a Baby

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

TIRapper T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) and his on again, off again girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle of the ’90s R&B group Xscape, are expecting another child together, the musician’s rep confirms.

Cottle, 32, recently posted the news that the couple are expecting a baby boy on her personal Myspace page, which has garnered many congratulatory comments from friends and fans.

This will be the fifth child for T.I., 27, and his second with Cottle. The couple are already parents to son King Harris, 3.

News of the pregnancy comes in the middle of T.I.’s house arrest sentence in Georgia for illegal weapons charges. The rapper was arrested last October for allegedly trying to buy machine guns and silencers. He was released on a $3 million bond until the outcome of his trial, which is still pending, but must be under home confinement.

Why Was Britney Released From The Hospital?

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

inside-britneys-house-as-the-cops-arrived.jpg

Britney Spears was let go from Cedars Sinai medical center because she no longer posed an imminent threat to herself as perceived by the hospital, PerezHilton.com.

The trainwreck demanded to be released, and Cedars Sinai had no choice but to let her go.

A source tells us, "It is very difficult to keep a patient in a psych ward at a hospital for longer than 24 to 48 hours. Even if you have tried to committ suicide (which Brit did not do) you are released as soon as you are no longer a threat to yourself. It is very very rare for someone to be in the psych ward of a hospital for more than a week or two even after attempting suicide."

Continues our source, "Brit is no different than other mentally ill people. After being admitted and given meds they are released if they are not a suicidal threat to themselves or others."

Spears' father, Jamie, was with Britney the morning of her release.

Update:

Britney probably left AMA (against medical advice), we're told.

A source says, "Normally, you have to have a court order or judge ruling to keep someone against their will in the hospital."

Britney's dad or lawyers should do that ASAP!!!!!!!

DVD Review: Resident Evil – Extinction

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

Another dull splatter fest in a series that has never acknowledged its source material.
Why make a video game movie if you’re barely going to acknowledge anything in said video game? That’s been the problem with the Resident Evil franchise from the start as it picks pieces from the game and crafts a completely random story around them. Extinction offers the best action of the three, but the story is uninteresting and the characters…

Movie Review: The Bucket List

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

It could have been a richer meditation on life, but it ends up trading in on Nicholson?s and Freeman?s personas rather than rejuvenating them.
They ought to make a special lifetime achievement award for Morgan Freeman as Best Wise Mentor in the movies, as directors tap on him again and again to open and close their films with his narrations of witty and pithy maxims. Rob Reiner gets his chance now with The Bucket List, as Freeman’s narration talks about another man whom he says lived more…

Spears At Home!!!

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

After miraculously convincing the staff of Cedars Sinai to release her Saturday morning, a clearly deranged Britney Spears is currently at her Beverly Hills home in The Summit, PerezHilton.com has learned.

We hope she gets better, but she probably won't.

Britney is the gift that keeps on giving!!!

Britney Out Of The Hospital!

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

britneyinhospitalpt7.jpg

If you're a celebrity, you can pretty much do anything you want!

A normal person would have had to stay in the hospital for 72 hours, but Britney Spears bolted from Cedars Sinai on Saturday, just a day and a half after being admitted and put under psychiatric evaluation against her own will.

And, to make it all wonderfully surreal, none other than Dr. Phil, the TV talk show host, paid Unfitney a visit Saturday morning and was seen walking her to her car, The Insder is reporting.

This woman is CLEARLY a danger to herself and others.

Why would the hospital release her??????

Shame on you, Cedars Sinai! Shame!!!
