Another Reason Your Boyfriend Is In Love With Natalie Portman
We know you’ve been wondering, “Why aren’t there more romantic comedies inspired by Norse mythology?” Well, we have good news! There’s also some news about the reclusive Jackson Family and Mel Gibson in a Beaver suit. To The Jump!
Natalie Portman cements her position as Ethereal Goddess to the fan boy population by signing off to star in Thor: a movie about the Norse god of thunder. [THR]
Did you know that Neil Patrick Harris is going to host the Emmys? Of course you did! Here’s a press release about the worst kept secret in Hollywood. [Variety]
Beaver! Is the name of the ‘whimsical drama’ Jodie Foster might direct and co-star in alongside Mel Gibson. Both Steve Carell and Jim Carrey were circling the role earlier but it looks like Gibson will be the one zipping up that suit. [LA Times]
Shark Tank is a new reality show slated to premiere in the North American autumn on NBC. The premise is: an inventor pitches a room of dour looking investors. If the inventor woos them, they invest their oodles of capital into the inventor’s dreams. Here’s a clip from the Brittish version which I’m sure is more droll but nevertheless heart-warming! [THR]
A&E is working on a reality project with the media shy Jackson family. [THR]
Just weeks after 20th Century Fox put the brakes on Tony Scott’s “Unstoppable” -– the runaway-train with a ballooning budget — now Denzel Washington has backed out! What other indigities must befall the locomotive industry be we learn to appreciate them again?! Denzel was set to play a veteran engineer who jumps into a locomotive (the coal kind!) with a young conductor (Star Trek’s Chris Pine) to halt an unmanned runaway train filled with a toxic chemical. [Variety]
When asked if she believed if some of Heath Ledger’s die-hard fans would be upset about producers reviving Heath’s role in the TV adaption of 10 Things I Hate About You. Meaghan Jette Martin, who will play Julia Stiles role in the TV Show responded, “That’s such an interesting thing because the movie is an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew and Shakespeare passed away. Was the movie disrespecting Shakespeare?” The question is ageless. [TV Guide]

@NinaHagen: You'll probably enjoy this, then:
(I don't know if this is actually a parody; the first time I saw it it was billed as real.)
SaraRueful
@Aaron Altman: Is there anything for Tyne Daly in it?
@resipsaloquacious:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8143738.stm
@Aaron Altman: I like it - I'll shove another crayon up my nose & get on the treatment - can you get Neil?
@resipsaloquacious: I'm thinking Mel Gibson would have been better cast as Eddie Haskell...
"Mrs. Cleaver, those are lovely sugar tits you have."
@NatashaVC: Hearted for that.

No matter how prettily she smiles, or how many animals she saves with her plastic shoes, Natalie Portman will remain the worst actress of her generation. I wake screaming from nightmares of her in THE SEAGULL.

@NinaHagen: I'd rather watch a Neil Patrick Harris musical rendition of a Mel Gibson beaver movie than a Mel Gibson beaver movie.
@Foster Kamer: I'm still trying to pull of the mushroom cut and choker chain she rocked from 'The Professional'.

@NinaHagen:
A Beaver puppet? A merkin? Mel Gibson is playing a merkin? Whose?
@Aaron Altman: I would so go see that instead of a Mel Gibson beaver movie.
@Pope John Peeps II:
Still, better my Mjolnir than your silver hammer.
Besides, it's all about girth, these days, Pope.
@Foster Kamer: That is an excellent movie no one saw.
I saw the words "Norse mythology" and Jackson" and thought "Viking Of Pop?"
It's been a problem ever since Beautiful Girls. Truly the most underrated Natalie Portman role, ever. Oscar: blind for not seeing this. Blind. Also (see the 2:55 mark), mashing snow should give everyone tremendous feelings of self-satisfaction.
@resipsaloquacious: According to mythology, Mjolnir was forged with an abnormally short handle....
The beaver thing is about a puppet. A beaver puppet. I don't know if this puppet is a Holocaust denier or an alcoholic but it is a beaver which is also the mascot at City College. It's really fun to yell "Go Beavers!"
Wow - I think that crayon up my nose is working magic.
after garden state, neither i nor my boyfriend is in love with natalie portman.

Shark Tank just sounds like a rip-off of Pitchmen. Without Billy and Sully you got nothing!
ohgee
Fortunately for Natalie, I am not starring as Thor. She could not handle my Mjolnir.
A film about norse mythology? Delicious, I hope! Tilda Swinton better be in it too.
@Aaron Altman:
Pirates = Vikings in 2k10?
NatashaVC
@City_Dater: Anything ever come of that suggestion to be able to vote comments down?
I admit to being madly in love with Natalie Portman *and* her acting chops.
@Aaron Altman: What's Don Rickles up to? I miss him.
Technically... it's based on a comic book that takes its name from Norse mythology. Now when she signs on to a movie based on Völuspá, give me a call.
I do love Sherry
@NinaHagen: We can cast whoever the hell we want! Tyne Daly as Freya! NPH as Odin! Let's make it happen!
@BookishLookish:Shucks...
@resipsaloquacious:
I think the word you are looking for is "heft"
Tigercub
Jodie Foster? A beaver handpuppet? Gahh! The jokes that come to mind are too perverse to be posted here, but the temptation is unbearable!
Z und Vielpunkt's chick
@NinaHagen: Nina's back!
She is so beautiful, but it seems very good..
God, I love that woman.
I can hardly wait to hear her recite that classic line:
"Thor? You might be THOR, but I can't even PITH!"
