“I’ll admit it. I go on Perez Hilton. He can be mean and a little invasive sometimes. But I think he’s funny, and he makes me laugh. He’s obsessed with my boyfriend (Scott Sartiano) – Perez descibes him as ‘oh so hot’- so we have that in common.”
– Jamie Lynn Sigler tells the new issue of In Style Magazine

Dateline NBC host Stone Phillips has been dropped from the network.
After more than fifteen years of service for the network, the news anchor’s contract was not renewed because NBC has been hit with a corporate mandate to cut costs and good ol’ Stoney was too pricey.
Phillips released the following statement, “I’m profoundly appreciative of the many friends and colleagues, past and present, who have been a part of the Dateline family. This is a great news division with a bright future. I wish the people of NBC News all the best.”
But what he really wanted to say is…..
“Katie Couric is destroying the CBS Evening News and she’s still on the air. But I’m getting fired? This is fucked!”

When Grey’s Anatomy opened the door on last week’s season finale for Isaiah Washington‘s departure from the show, they left the door wide open. And it looks like the homophobe probably won’t be back!
TV reporter Kristin Veitch is claiming that Washington is out.
She says, “I’ve now heard from various reliable sources that Isaiah has been taking meetings in New York and Los Angeles in search of a new job that would take place during the coming TV season, so it certainly appears that Isaiah’s Grey‘s days are over. Insiders at ABC tell me “not everyone will be coming back” to Grey’s this fall, and although T.R. Knight’s fate was also left hanging in the balance after the season finale, I’m hearing that he’s gonna be back but like I said, Isaiah looks to be a goner.”
Good for T.R.
Bad for Isaiah.
He had it coming!

Filed under: Horror, Celebrities and Controversy  Drug abuse is a terrible thing, kids. It land you in jail, ruin your reputation and turn you from a busy character actor into an uninsurable pariah. Case in point: Crazy Tom Sizemore just got fired from pre-production on a flick called The I Scream Man -- and if you can't hold on to a job in a movie with that sort of title, then you're definitely living life a little too hard. I know his drug problems are entirely of his own creation, but I really do feel for the guy. He went from working with Michael Mann, Oliver Stone and Steven Spielberg -- to a public dismissal on The I Scream Man. Ouch. According to STYD.com, Mr. Sizemore was fired from the upcoming horror flick and replaced by sometimes co-worker Michael Madsen. The reason for his dismissal? Another visit from the " drugs and jail time" fairy. It might sound like I'm cruelly mocking the guy, but the truth is I feel really rotten for Mr. Sizemore. Here's hoping he can right the ship, toss that monkey off his back and mount a small comeback of sorts. In the meantime, J.T. Mollner's The I Scream Man will go into production this summer with Madsen, Dee Wallace, Haylie Duff, Fred Ward, Judd Nelson and the entertainingly bizarre Crispin Glover as ... The Ice Cream Man. (Yes, it's a horror movie.) Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Drama, Casting, Cannes, Critical Thought & Trends, Celebrities and Controversy, Politics -(3).jpg) In yesterday's review of A Mighty Heart, filed from the Cannes fest, James brought up a topic that I haven't given much thought to, but other people apparently have. Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Marianne Pearl in the film, for whatever emotional and preparational challenges it presented, also required Jolie to curl her hair and 'brown' her skin in order to accurately reflect Pearl's Afro-Cuban/French heritage. Most reviews being filed from the fest seem to reflect what James pointed out -- that it's not considered a big deal. As James wrote, "there's nothing insensitive or overdone in the mild make-up artistry of the part; the inner performance is what shines out." The press also realizes, I'm sure, that Jolie had a lot to do with shepherding this project into production and is the film's biggest selling point, so they wouldn't raise the pointless question of 'Couldn't the producers have found someone else to play Pearl?' I wonder, though -- would the press reaction be different if this were a fictional character? What if someone considerably fairer than Jolie, like Nicole Kidman, had taken the part and gone through the same make-up job?
There's also a sort of flip-side to the coin. During a recent press junket for her latest film, Perfect Stranger, Halle Berry talked candidly about her upcoming project, Class Act, a true story about a teacher who runs for congress. The teacher is white. "She's just this teacher who ran for public office," Berry told the press, "and that's a step in the right direction for me, because I've been fighting to just be seen as a woman and not always have my color precede me, so when [the producer] said 'wouldn't this be a great role for you?' I said 'you should ask her. Maybe she doesn't want her story portrayed by a black woman.' And she loved the idea."
These are weighty issues that can only be hashed out by the Cinematical readers, so I'll leave it to you -- what do you think about actors using makeup to alter their race for films, or simply taking on the roles of real people who are of a different race and not doing any makeup work?

Filed under: Drama, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy  Here we go again. In the never-ending ping-pong match of rumors between Lindsay Lohan and the media, the actress is opening up about her "bad behaviour" on the set of Georgia Rule. This all started back during production of the "chick-friendly" family drama starring Lohan, Jane Fonda, and Felicity Huffman. Talk of an uneasy set and public scolding of Lohan by producer James G. Robinson, who stated in a letter that Lohan had "acted like a spoiled child and in doing so have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality" of " Georgia Rule.' Lohan recently spoke with Allure saying, "It upset me because I was a bit irresponsible. I didn't think about the consequences, but I was also going through something in my life." But at the time, like most of Lohan's unflattering PR, the actress kept relatively quiet about the whole thing and had returned to work quietly to finish the film. And the results? Reactions to the film weren't great, and while it was not a break-out success, I think everyone managed to walk away with their dignity intact. Lohan might have a chance of getting the gossip headlines out of her reviews, she seems to have redeemed herself with her upcoming thriller I Know Who Killed Me with Chris Sivertson . Already the director has been praising her work -- which was never really the problem, and more importantly her work ethic. So far, there has only been a few glimpses of a poster and some photos. Set for release in July, hopefully Lohan can keep herself out of the headlines until then. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

David Hasselhoff‘s children have not one but two crazy parents.
Despite this widely seen video of an obbliterated drunk Hoff eating a burger, a judge on Tuesday granted custody to him of his two kids.
Apparently, the mother is CRAZY and the court thinks its in the best interest of the children if they stay with their father for the next two weeks, when the next hearing is scheduled.
Hasselhoff went into court the underdog, stripped of any visitation with his kids – in the wake of the drunk video.
But TMZ is reporting that the judge was stunned by the evidence presented by the court appointed expert who performed psychological evaluations on the family.
The expert apparently said that Pamela Bach, Hasselhoff’s ex, was abusive to her kids – especially Hayley, the younger of the two. The expert also noted that Bach refused drug testing, among many other things.
We hope those two kids are getting lots of counseling!
