Who Dares Replace Hugh Jackman In Steven Soderbergh’s Insane, 3-D Cleopatra Musical?

2:50AM Kyle Buchanan | Apparently, Hugh Jackman would prefer his career uncapsized, as Variety notes he has pulled out of Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming 3-D musical, Cleo (citing scoffed-at “scheduling conflicts”). So who in Hollywood can replace him?

How Steven Soderbergh Intends to Capsize the Careers of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Hugh Jackman

10:00AM Kyle Buchanan | We’d be lying if we said we weren’t excited for Cleo, Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming 3-D Cleopatra musical/possible practical joke starring Hugh Jackman and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Now, Soderbergh has revealed insane new details.

‘Cleo’ Unites A-LIst Talent For World’s Finest Batshit 3-D Musical

4:20AM STV | It’s long been rumoured that Steven Soderbergh keeps a checklist in his wallet — a tattered index card on which he’s scrawled dreams nurtured since before his sex, lies and videotape breakthrough nearly 20 years ago: “win an Oscar,” “make a four-hour Socialist biopic,” “work with a porn star,” and alllll the way at the bottom, “shoot a completely fucked-up 3-D musical version of Cleopatra.” Finally, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Hugh Jackman in talks to star, he might be that much closer to crossing off that last Impossible Dream.

Classy Actresses Are Easier to Come By Than HuffPo Contributor Seems to Think

11:00AM STV | Setting aside the redundant video that uncannily resembles stock news footage shot sometime during the Nixon Adminstration, there’s plenty to not get about HuffPo contributor John Farr’s recent overview of “smart, classy” actresses’ decline in Hollywood. It’s not like we can even necessarily argue with his taste for Joan Allen, to whom he ascribes the sense of sophistication, glamour and taste evident in icons like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Vivian Leigh and Greta Garbo: More »

Catherine Zeta-Jones Explains How Michael Douglas Managed To Get In Her Pants

11:39AM Jess McGuire | It’s time to add another chapter to The Big Book Of Deeply Moving Celebrity Love Stories, because Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed the magically seductive pick up line thrown her way by Hollywood’s favourite sex addict Michael Douglas. In an interview with US magazine Parade due out this Sunday, Zeta-Jones, routinely voted one of the world’s sexiest women, relates how Douglas wooed her with the some would say cheesy line, ‘I want to father your children.’ Clearly Zeta-Jones wasn’t thinking straight when she found herself swooning at the notorious wick-dipper’s one liner, because in practical terms Douglas was essentially saying “Allow me to place my old man penis inside you, shuffle about for a while, and then leave a sticky mess which in nine months time will result in a small creature who will both scream and defecate incessantly for a tediously lengthy amount of time.” “Months later, we were dating, and I was already in love with him,” she told the magazine. “But there was one thing I had to be sure of. I turned to him and said, ‘Do you really want children?’ And I thought, for that one minute, he was going to say, ‘I already have a son, Cameron,’ and I would have to say goodbye. “I remember saying defiantly, ‘I cannot live without having children.’ And he went, ‘Me too’.” “Me too” – a rapidly ageing man’s way of saying “Oh god, let me just touch it once before I die, I beg of you.” PS: For the record, we actually quite like Michael Douglas.
