The producers for Lindsay Lohan's new movie Labor Pains are saying "so far, so good" on her behavior. Or at least the film's publicists are saying that because, for all we know, Lindsay could be lighting the crews' cigarettes with her vagina. (You heard it here first.) People reports:
"We were a little bit reluctant to work with her," Lati Grobman, one of the producers, tells PEOPLE. "But she's been amazing."
"The difference between her and the other girls that are naughty in the business is that she's actually talented. It's not [like] Paris Hilton and the rest of them. We took the chance. It's good that we did. So far, so good."
Though the producers wish Lindsay would quit one annoying little habit: Acting like a lesbian. She's not fooling anyone. Especially after having sex with all the teamsters, and a homeless man who wandered too close to set. Poor bastard just wanted some scraps from the snack table. Let's just say he bit off more than he could chew... I'm actually serious. He had half a Cornish hen in his mouth before Lindsay tackled him.

 There’s no doubt that meeting Angelina Jolie can be nerve-wracking – but her Wanted costars say the superstar mom is incredibly down-to-earth.
“It’s a little intimidating, someone like her who is presented as a goddess. [But] it takes, like, 30 seconds and you figure out she’s just a cool woman,” Wanted actor Thomas Kretschmann said at the film’s press day Monday.
The German actor, who plays an assassin in the action flick out June 27, also described Jolie as “a cool mommy.”
Kretschmann’s kids and the Jolie-Pitt youngsters “played together from time to time” on set, he said. “She knows exactly what she wants and she’s extremely smart.”
But Jolie isn’t the only “cool” person in her household. Costar Common calls Brad Pitt “a good dude.”
“We hung out and he was a cool cat,” said the rapper-turned-actor.
And Jolie? “She’s an incredible mother, a beautiful mother,” Common said. “She has so much realness to her.”

Billy Ray Cyrus should be interviewed all day every day. The country star and father of Miley Cyrus (better known as Hannah Montana) stopped by The Today Show this morning to talk about the scandal involving a topless photo of Miley that appeared in Vanity Fair. Check out these awesome answers that run the hilarious gamut of poop and turkey necks:
On why he stayed quiet about Miley's photos:
"My dad always told me the more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks."
On the advice Kris Kristofferson gave him:
"And I remember Kris Kristofferson stopped me backstage at one of my shows and said, ‘Listen, hoss, always remember: The turkey with the longest neck’s always going to be the one everyone’s shootin’ at’.”
On the supposedly suggestive father-daughter photo:
"That’s just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot. If a daddy hasn’t hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does.”
On his excuse for leaving the shoot early and not seeing the topless photo:
"I had a show to do, and an obligation, to go to Washington state ... playing for the troops just back from Iraq."
Billy Ray also added: "Yeah, the troops... and a group of scientists who needed me to play my gee-tar to cure cancer. Yeah. Dang gum diddily, I reckon all that stuff." Wait a minute, he done served us a cowpie!

PETA has taken umbrage with Jessica Simpson's T-shirt proclaiming "Real Girls Love Meat." They decided to seek the moral high ground and respond with a list of five reasons "Why only stupid girls brag about eating meat." Sciencey! Here's my personal favorite gem:
4. Meat will make you fat. All the saturated fat and cholesterol in chicken wings, pork chops, and steak eventually leads to flabby thighs and love handles. I hope the upcoming "Jessica Simpson's Intimates" line comes in plus sizes! Going vegetarian is the best way to get slim and stay that way.
Jesus! "Eating meat will make you fat." How superficial. (Ha ha! The name of this site.) But, seriously, PETA left out these other pitfalls of being a carnivore that warrant your attention. What can I say? I'm a helper:
1. Meat will cause the Lifetime channel to go off the air. Or, at the very least, cancel Army Wives.
2. Feeding your husband meat will lead him straight into the arms of another woman. Who's totally that chick at your work who you'd be friends with if only she didn't have the same purse. Bitch.
3. AIDS: It's what for dinner - if you eat meat.

Britney Spears filmed a cameo for the new Pussycat Dolls video "When I Grow Up," but her part was quietly axed before the debut over the weekend. To be honest, I'm not really sure why Britney was included in the first place. The video showcases the Dolls' peak physical fitness, proficient choreography and ability to respond to verbal interaction. So basically everything that Britney Spears is not. Unless choreography is code for "I love Wendy's Baconator."

 Keeping heroically fit doesn’t come easily to Ali Larter – despite some noticeable physical advantages.
“When I’m in really good shape, I like my butt. It’s juicy – that’s what my fiancé says,” the Heroes actress, 32, referring to actor Hayes MacArthur, tells Allure for its July issue.
“I’m an indulger, but then I have to be good,” Larter says over a large lunch of dumplings, scallops with ravioli and a burger with salad, fries, ketchup and mayo. “I’m also going to get my butt out and go for a run tomorrow.”
Once, before a photo shoot, her thighs needed to be duct-taped on account of “they were a little too round,” she recalls. On another occasion, while on a movie, she packed on some pounds – and that’s when being unfit really hit the fan.
“The faxes went out from the producers and the director to my agents to my manager to call me and ask me to lose weight,” she says. “I just remember sitting in my trailer hysterically crying from the embarrassment I felt about myself, my body – and that no one could talk to me directly.”
But she realizes that it was nothing personal – only business. “This is what I signed up for,” she admits. “What I do for a living puts me in the spotlight. They pay me for it.”

From: Studio Development Group

RE: PUZZLE FARTER, 6/2/08 draft
We think this draft represents progress from the 5/01/08 draft, but there are still areas that need to be addressed to make this the strongest possible casual videogame. As always, we look forward to discussing these issues with you.
1. DEVELOPING THE CHARACTER ARC
We’re lacking a clear backstory and dramatic arc for Puzzle Farter. Why is this story happening to this character, now? Why is he so gassy? He is literally a fish out of water, but we never develop this idea.
Let’s consider PRETTY WOMAN as a template: Puzzle Farter is trying to navigate a world in which he doesn’t fit in, but in trying to understand it, reveals its absurdities. (And falls in love. See note #4.)
In this spirt, we’d like to consider adding an event (an “Inciting Incident”) early in the story, explaining how Puzzle Farter entered this world.
Also, Puzzle Farter needs to talk. He needs to clearly articulate his goals in a funny, relatable way. We see Joe Pesci for the role, but are open to other suggestions.
2. KEEPING PUZZLE FARTER PROACTIVE
Currently, Puzzle Farter spends much of his time reacting to outside pressures. We would like to find ways to keep him more in charge of the narrative — and for his decisions to have a deeper resonance in the story.
For example, right now, his only response to threats is to jump or run. Can we see him kill or otherwise incapacitate the other characters (hopefully in a charming way)? Like Grand Theft Auto 4, we’d also like to see a mission-based interface which would allow the character to explore on his own. (The “sandbox” model.)
Also, we’d like a system for keeping track of gold points.
3. CLARIFYING OBJECTIVES
The addition of doors to each level has gone a long way towards making it clear what Puzzle Farter is attempting to achieve in each encounter. But we’re missing a bigger goal: What is Puzzle Farter hoping to find? What is his want? What does he need? (The conflict between these two questions can contribute a lot of second-act gravitas.)
Let’s consider adding a Fish Sister, who is kidnapped in the prologue. This would go a long way towards strengthening our Villain Plot.
4. LOVE INTEREST
Puzzle Farter needs a love interest, someone who can match him toot for toot. We think Rachel McAdams would be perfect.
Also, players need to be able to select gender, so as not to eliminate the gay gamer demographic.
5. MULTIPLAYER
The game needs to be multiplayer. We should also discuss making it a MMORPG.
6. RATING AND CONTENT
To appeal to families, we need to be sensitive to content concerns. Let’s replace the farting with something less offensive.

 | | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Trailer 1
“I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: A man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, “Benjamin Button,” is a grand tale of a not so ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng |
