Monday, July 7th, 2008Britney Spears to Film Segment for Madonna’s Tour
Monday, July 7th, 2008
Britney Spears will team up with Madonna – virtually – during the singer’s upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour.
“Britney is going to film something for Madonna’s show in the next week or so,” Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, says.
As for details about what they will be doing – and where it will be filmed – Rosenberg says, “I don’t know. It’s a secret.”
Contrary to published reports, Spears is not in New York to film the video segments, nor has she already shot anything.
This isn’t the first collaboration for the pop stars. The two famously teamed up during the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, sharing the stage – and one memorable kiss – during the broadcast.
Spears is not expected to perform with Madonna, whose tour kicks off in Wales next month. The U.S. leg of her tour starts Oct. 4 in East Rutherford, N.J.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Welcome a Baby Girl
Monday, July 7th, 2008
Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, have welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, born Monday morning in Nashville.
“Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well,” said spokesman Paul Freundlich, who added that the couple were “delighted” to make the announcement. He also said the baby girl weighed 6 lbs., 7.5 oz.
The pregnancy was first announced in January. Kidman has two other children with her former husband Tom Cruise: Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13.
In the days leading up to the birth, the couple – who celebrated their second wedding anniversary on June 25 – didn’t stray from their normal routine in and around Nashville, where they reside in a gated community.
From early morning stops at a local Starbucks for warm drinks to a little sweat at the gym later in the day (Kidman was a regular at spin and yoga classes during her pregnancy), the couple remained low-key.
“She’s never been happier and healthier,” says a close family friend. “She is absolutely radiant and enjoying nesting and homemaking with Keith at their new home in Nashville.”
But getting ready for their baby was a priority. Urban admitted he was learning a new vocabulary for fatherhood and doing Lamaze lessons. “He doesn’t know the name [of the classes], but he has been very good at it!” Kidman told a local radio station on June 24.
The new parents also bought a couple of books to help them along: Pocket Dad: Everyday Wisdom and Your Pregnancy, Week By Week.
“The unknown excites me a lot,” Urban told reporters in May. “What kind of feelings will fatherhood bring? I’m sure I can’t even imagine, but I am really looking forward to finding out.”

Madonna: ‘I’m not getting a divorce like that sucker A-Rod’ (BURN!)
Monday, July 7th, 2008
While A-Rod's marriage falls apart, Madonna decided it'd be a good time to issue a statement to People letting everyone know she's going to stick with Guy Ritchie. She also apparently decided it'd be a good time to look like the bad guy from Hellboy II. I have no idea:
My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study.”After issuing her statement, Madonna opened her mouth and released a horde of flies throughout Lower Manhattan allowing Guy Ritchie to kidnap another black boy. Oh, sure, people say that's David Banda, but then tell me: Who is this?! *pulls back window curtains* .... I swear to God I hid a black kid back here. I sort of "borrowed" him from the employee day care. *sniff sniff* I smell moth balls and sarcophagus funk. Madonna was here wasn't she? Shit. I may get fired for this one. Unless... *picks up phone* Hello, Domino's? I want a pizza with "I didn't even know we had a day care" spelled out in pepperoni.

Angelina Jolie Gets More Family Visits in the Hospital
Monday, July 7th, 2008
Angelina Jolie received two special visitors over the weekend in her French hospital room: brother James Haven and son Maddox.
A bodyguard carried Maddox, 6, into the hospital on Friday, July 4 to spend time with his mom, while James – wearing an orange sweatshirt and sunglasses – entered the hospital Saturday through a side entrance and stayed for an hour and a half.
After his visit, Jolie’s brother left in the family’s Mercedes van. Jolie, who checked into a hospital in the South of France last week, hasn’t been without a steady stream of well wishers. Last week, Brad Pitt visited Jolie at the hospital with daughters Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.
Security has increased at the medical center since Jolie, 33, checked into Fondation Lenval Hospital in Nice.
During a press conference on July 2, her doctor told reporters that the actress, who is expecting twins, was not due for several weeks.

Lawyer Says A-Rod and Madonna Had ‘An Affair of the Heart’
Monday, July 7th, 2008
Alex Rodriguez’s relationship with Madonna was “an affair of the heart” – not “sexual infidelity” – according to Cynthia Rodriguez’s lawyer.
Still, the baseball star’s relationship with the singer “was the last straw” before the Yankee slugger’s wife filed for divorce Monday, her Houston attorney, Earle Lilly, said.
Lilly says that A-Rod was smitten with Madonna, but makes no claim of any sexual liaison. “The correct analysis is a relationship,” he says. “Some people categorize an affair as something as sexual infidelity. We’re not claming that. It’s an affair of the heart.”
Over the weekend, Madonna issued a statement denying a romantic relationship with the baseball star, saying, “I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage.”
In fact, “Madonna’s name is not even mentioned in the papers,” says Lilly. “We don’t want the public to think this is an aggressive action against Madonna.”
Still, Lilly maintains that A-Rod has behaved badly for “a good while” and his client, Cynthia Rodriguez, has had enough. “She’s just a Greek Orthodox lady who has had as much as she can take,” he says.
Shortly before 9 a.m. Monday, Cynthia’s Miami attorney Maurice Kutner filed the divorce petition.
“This is an action for dissolution of marriage, which is being filed only after [Cynthia Rodriguez] has exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage of the parties,” the document reads. “However, Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children and has left her with no choice but to divorce him.”
Without naming any names, the document states, “The marriage of the parties is irretrievably broken because of the husband’s extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct.”
The couple were married Nov. 2, 2002 in Dallas. They have two daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 2 months.
Both Lilly and Kutner maintain that their client hopes to settle the divorce as amicably as possible.
“Cynthia has made it very clear to me that she wants to take the high road and protect her children and herself,” Kutner said shortly after filing the papers. “She wants to resolve the issues between Alex and herself in an amicable fashion.”
A lawyer reportedly representing Alex Rodriguez did not immediately return calls for comment.

Monday, July 7th, 2008 | Transsiberian - Film Clip An American couple, Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer), decide to take the long way home from their recent sojourn in Asia on the legendary Trans-siberian Express train from Beijing to Moscow. On their way, they meet another couple from the West, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), with whom they quickly form a familiar bond that often unites fellow travellers away from home. When Roy accidentally gets separated from the group at a stopover, Jessie begins to realize that their compatriots aren’t exactly who or what they seem to be. The real danger begins to surface as a deceitful Russian detective (Sir Ben Kingsley) and locals terrorize Jessie in this unforgettable journey.

Traitor – Trailer 2
Monday, July 7th, 2008 | Traitor - Trailer 2 Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash) and Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) star in Traitor, a taut international thriller set against a jigsaw puzzle of covert counter- espionage operations. Traitor is written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After Tomorrow). When straight arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer, Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterious figure with a web of connections to terrorist organizations, Horn has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major operation goes down. The inter-agency task force looking into the case meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels), a veteran CIA contractor who seemingly has his own agenda and Max Archer (Neal McDonough), a fellow FBI agent. The task force links Horn to a prison break in Yemen, a bombing in Nice and a raid in London, but a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his quarry is a disaffected former military operative — or something far more complicated. Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world of shadows and intrigue. Directed by: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Starring: Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Jeff Daniels, Neal McDonough |
Short questions, short answers
Sunday, July 6th, 2008
In the Big Fish Sequence Outline posted in the Library, you have boxes around certain sequences (i.e. sequences 3,5,8 etc.), but not around others. What do these boxes reference?
– Gerald
Mississippi
The boxes indicate which sections of the movie are Edward’s stories. I wanted to show the balance between real-world stuff and fable.
Why did Edward Bloom leave Ashland?
– Anonymous
Because it’s too small for a man of his ambition. That’s what Edward says to Karl the Giant before they head off on their adventure.
Beginner’s luck? Is that supposed to happen?
– Mark
It’s a fallacy. We expect someone trying something for the first time to fail, so when they succeed, we call it “beginner’s luck” to discount it. But depending on the nature of the task, it’s actually just skill or garden-variety luck.
A person who succeeds early and later fails may likewise try to diminish the first success by declaring it “beginner’s luck.” But it’s almost worth looking at the situation in which they were first successful, and what’s changed. Likely the “beginning” was an arbitrary point decided after the fact, and the subsequent efforts are being scored by different and perhaps unrealistic criteria.
