Posted under Celebrities, Johnny Depp, Movies by Chris Evans on Friday 30 June 2006 at 10:23 pm

Johnny Depp is on the cover of this month’s Rolling Stone. In the interview he talks about basing his character on Keith Richards (note the irony of the name of the magazine), his aversion to mainstream movies, and his early music career before friend Nicholas Cage told him to get into movies.

Mariska Delivers, Nelly’s #1, and Fergie Goes Solo

Posted under Brandon Routh, Celebrities, Charts, Mariska Hargitay, Movies, Music, Superman Returns, Television by Chris Evans on Friday 30 June 2006 at 6:18 am

Law & Order: SVU star and Golden Globe winner Mariska Hargitay had her baby boy, People reports.

It’s the first baby for her and her husband Peter Hermann who married back in August of 2004.

Nelly Furtado continues her career best week with a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100, her club track with Timbaland, “Promiscous” dethroned Taylor Hicks‘ “Do I Make You Proud“, which dropped to number 3 in its second week.

Just yesterday, the album on which the track is featured bowed at number one atop the Billboard 200 chart.

Bryan Singer’s love child “Superman Returns” returned a whopping 21 million dollars in it’s first day yesterday on its Wednesday opening.

The buzz on the film has been mostly positive, so the early screenings of the film should mean good word of mouth box office longevity through the weekend. I don’t see it breaking any records, but expect it to be number one through next weekend–don’t forget-4th of July.

Fergie, lead singer of Hip-Hop group Black Eyed Peas is poised for the release of her new solo album, and her first singleLondon Bridge (Oh Shit)” has been leaked. There’s pretty much no singing involved–it’s just Fergie talking through the whole tack–but it’s still pretty good. Catchy, good beat, and the chorus is great. London, London, La-hoo!

Is anyone else having trouble stomaching this photo of Star Jones?

Amy Sedaris‘ screen version of the comedy central cult classic “Strangers With Candy” is coming to theaters soon, and most of the reviews say the first half of the film is hilarious–then the guest stars arrive. Hmm..sounds a lot like Will & Grace.

The View: Star Jones v. Barbara Walters

Posted under Celebrities, Television, The View by Chris Evans on Thursday 29 June 2006 at 12:37 am

ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” has turned into a whirlwind of backstabbing and catfights. Somehow Star Jones always seems to be involved. Which is probably why ABC didn’t renew her contract. That and the fact that research showed the viewers were getting sick of her.

If you thought the claws weren’t out–they are.

Here’s video of Star announcing her exit from “The View“.

And here’s Barbara’s reaction the VERY next day. Star was immediately asked to leave and was not there.

And this is why I love “The View“. Can’t wait ’til Rosie.

Saw III Poster Unveiled

Posted under Anne Hathaway, Celebrities, Hugh Jackman, Meryl Streep, Movies by Chris Evans on Wednesday 28 June 2006 at 11:22 pm

The teaser poster for Saw III has been released.

Here’s a tiny version of it:

The Hollywood Reporter has updated its article on “Wolverine” and has deleted all mention of a 2007 release for the Hugh Jackman film.

The Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway movie “The Devil Wears Prada” is getting rave reviews.

I’ve always loved Anne Hathaway–especially in “Princess Diaries” and “Brokeback Mountain“. Can’t wait to see the film.

Pop Culture Digest: Wolverine In 2007, and Lady In the Water

Posted under Bryce Dallas Howard, Celebrities, Hugh Jackman, Movies, Television, The View, Trailers by Chris Evans on Wednesday 28 June 2006 at 5:22 am

X-Men spinoff film ‘Wolverine‘ is set for release in 2007. It’s the first film to be produced under Hugh Jackman’s new production company Seed Productions, and it’ll be penned by David Benioff (25th Hour, Troy, Stay).

I hope they mean late 2007 and not the summer, because according to IMDB, the movie is still in development–not even in pre-production, and currently there’s no director. I guess that’s not too big of a problem–Brett Ratner didn’t come onto X-Men 3 until the very end and we all know how that worked out. (Please note the sarcasm).

Kate Bosworth’s teaming up with Orlando Bloom in the Tim Blake Nelson directed film “Seasons of Dust“. I’ve never really cared for either actor (even in “Elizabethtown” where Orlando was good, he got upstaged by Kirsten Dunst), but Kate seems like the kind of actress that could be good given the right role, and I’m anxious to see what she’s done with Lois Lane in Superman Returns.

Judging from the story, this movie seems like something completely different and challenging for both actors, so maybe it’ll be good. Not too sure about Nelson’s directing talents as the only movie I’ve seen that he’s directed is ‘O‘. That one was pretty good.

Star Jones Reynolds finally leavesThe View.” It was about time–I was really getting tired of hearing about Payless, Al, and her weight loss through “diet and exercise”. Although, I was really hoping she’d stay on long enough at least for Rosie to sit on her Wicked Witch of the West face a few times. Damn.

Oh well, at least Rosie can bite off Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s head–I’m getting really sick of her uninformed pointless conservative diatribes. Seriously, sweetheart–you got this job because you were on Survivor. And you didn’t even fucking win. Shove your head into a wood chipper.

Everyone’s favorite director except mine M. Night Shyamalan’s new flick “Lady In The Water” looks like yet another dud. I always say, artists get screwed when they get big heads because they stop striving to do their best work. He has to be the most full of himself director I’ve ever seen in my life, and it shows in his crappy films (sans ‘Sixth Sense‘).

Who knows, maybe Bryce Dallas Howard can save this movie like her and Joaquin Phoenix did with his last one, “The Village“. Apparently Jeffrey Wright’s in the film too…and he’s seriously an acting God. But seeing as how he doesn’t appear in the trailer, he probably has some crappy bit part that doesn’t showcase his incredible skills, and yet another fantastic actor goes underrated and underused. Great job Hollywood. Rent “Angels In America“.

It hits theaters on July 21.

Here’s the trailer:

Trailer: Spider-Man 3

Posted under Bryce Dallas Howard, Kirsten Dunst, Movies, Spider-Man 3, Topher Grace, Trailers by Chris Evans on Tuesday 27 June 2006 at 5:53 pm

Since when did Spider-Man get a Goth make-over?

Looks like Spidey’s been spending a LITTLE too much time with Amy Lee.

Or maybe that’s not Spidey, it’s Venom–since Venom’s suit is black. But why the hell would Venom be on the poster? It’s called Spider-Man. Whatever, dude. Just as long as I get to see Topher Grace.

Shit, well no. Look at this picture. That is most definitely Tobey Maguire…in a black suit. Problem is…I’ve seen on-set photos of him in the traditional red and blue one. -sigh- Who knows.

Either way…

The trailer was unveiled today, and although it looks titilating (how could it not with dreamy James Franco and savant actress Bryce Dallas Howard), it doesn’t live up to the teaser trailer we got for Superman Returns. Sorry, Sam Raimi. It just doesn’t.

In better news though…Thomas Haden Church (Flint Marko/Sandman) does look quite creepy in this still from the movie.

[Okay, someone explained it to me. Apparently it's "the darkness" that makes Spidey's suit black. ...Uh-huh.]

‘Snakes On A Plane’ Trailer Unveiled

Posted under Movies, Samuel L. Jackson by Chris Evans on Tuesday 27 June 2006 at 5:31 pm

Watching this trailer…was one of the most surreal moments of my life. Watching the movie will probably surpass it. I’m afraid, and not in a good way.

The poster is even more hilarious.

I’m still stunned this movie even made it past an agent. Dude..it’s called “Snakes on a Plane“. Let me break that down for you. Snakes. On. A. Plane. Seriously people.

And what’s it about? Snakes….on a plane. I can hardly contain my consternation.

Television Tidbits: Futurama and Sally Field Return

Posted under Awards, Celebrities, Chris O'Donell, Denis Leary, Emmy Awards, Entourage, Grey's Anatomy, Huff, Katie Couric, Rescue Me, Television by Chris Evans on Monday 26 June 2006 at 8:49 pm

The FOX animated comedy ‘Futurama‘ is being reborn at cable network Comedy Central.

CBS is sending newly acquired Evening News anchor Katie Couric on a tour around the country to find out what people want to see on the news.

There’s mucho controversy over a sex scene involving Denis Leary’s character on last week’s episode of “Rescue Me” on F/X.

TV Guide’s television guru Michael Auseillo talks about Academy Award winner Sally Field being courted for ABC’s fall show Brothers and Sisters to play Calista Flockhart’s mother. How the two of them look ANYTHING alike, is a mystery to me.

Chris O’Donnell, or how he’ll always be known to me, Robin, will be starring in The Company, a new vehicle on TNT. How he’ll be in this TNT thing, yet still be McVet on Grey’s Anatomy…I really don’t know.

Despite winning two Emmys last year, Showtime’s Huff never did well in the ratings, and the network has decided to axe the Hank Azaria comedy.

Everyone’s favorite Entertainment Weekly writer Michael Slezak weighs in on who doesn’t deserve an Emmy this year?

We all really need Dom to get off of Entourage. Apparently everyone else does too–except for Vince.
