Flotsam & Jetsam

Here Comes The Leighton Meester Sex Tape You’ve Been Waiting For

10:21PM the cajun boy | Someone is shopping a tape of Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester boning an ex-boyfriend, Robert Pattinson gets hit by a cab, Jennifer Garner tries to breakup Ben Affleck and Kevin Smith, Susan Boyle goes bonkers again and Beyonce screws over a club owner. More »

Diane Keaton: From Here to Obscurity?

9:15AM STV | No one around here really wants to have the Save-a-Fading-Hollywood-Icon conversation every day. But less than 24 hours after Ed McMahon’s sad, bought-and-paid-for declaration that “I am officially a rapper,” the quiet dumping of Diane Keaton’s new film Smother (or the fact that there even is a Diane Keaton film called Smother) leaves us no real choice. The Oscar-winner’s latest is her fourth consecutive Straight-to-Flopz™ effort since 2007, as well as the third during that time (alongside Because I Said So and Mama’s Boy) in which she’s portrayed a suffocating harpy mum. Worse yet — depressingly so — Smother is the first Diane Keaton film in our adult lifetimes that we didn’t even know existed until after it opened. Not. Cool. More »

Owen Wilson Loses Kate Hudson Yet Again, But Don’t Feel Sorry For The Stallion This Time Around

4:35AM Molly Friedman | Once again, the troubled blonde union between Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson has come to an end, and both stars are up to their standard post-break-up habits. Hudson is said to be feeling “dumb,” and Wilson is making attempts to crawl into the sheets with the nearest yellow-haired hanger-on. And while the last time these two split, it became tragically clear which party came out on top and which wound up barely alive, we took a look at the career prospects in store for both, and worry Kate’s the one who might hit the skids this time around…

Tracy Morgan + David O. Russell = Trouble

5:35AM Seth | David O. Russell’s next movie, a romantic comedy called Nailed, adds James Marsden, Catherine Keener and Tracy Morgan to an all-star cast that already includes Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel. As thrilled as we are to see Morgan’s movie career graduate to the level of a Russell production, we fear what mayhem might arise from combining the highly combustible auteur and the manically unhinged actor. [THR] Overseas audiences love 10,000 B.C.! So much so that Warner Bros. has ordered 9999 more sequels, at which point they’ll have Roland Emmerich take a stab at the Nativity Story, in which the baby Savior will fend off bloodthirsty sabre-toothed manger goats. [Variety] Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are close to signing Nanny McPhee’s Thomas Sangster to play the lead role in their motion-capture Tintin trilogy. Do they really have to make it motion-capture? Nothing good ever comes from motion-capture. Let’s just leave it in the early ’00s, like we left sundried tomatoes in the ’80s. [THR] More »

Top Five Most Incomprehensible Babe Magnets In Hollywood

5:50AM Molly Friedman | Another day, another beauty splits up with legendary duck-faced serial dater Zach Braff. Seems Shiri Appleby, like her predecessors Drew Barrymore, Mandy Moore and Kirsten Dunst, just wasn’t up to Zach’s inexplicably high standards. It’s embarrassing to admit, but we’ve always embarrassingly found the Scrubs star kinda charming in a college boyfriend who makes you laugh kind of way, but then again, we’re mere mortals. So why do actresses like Shiri and Drew fall head-over-heels for this guy? Still, Zach is hardly the only aesthetically-challenged male star notching hottie after hottie on their (rarely worn) belts. We select our picks for the top five improbably lucky swordsmen in Hollywood after the jump. More »

Trade Roundup: The Big O Makes Her Presidential Pitch

8:30AM Defamer Hollywood | · Oprah Winfrey delivers an impassioned, 20-minute stump speech in Des Moines on behalf of Barack Obama, whose presidential candidacy was officially designated as one of her Favourite Things of 2007. In addition to the inspiration they received, each one of the thousands of Iowans in attendance at the rally left with his or her own copy of O’s Guide to Life and a dozen Perfect Endings cupcakes. [Variety] Scary Movie visionaries Keenan Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans are bringing their light, satirical touch to a send-up of cop movies, in which no more than three unlucky officers will be stabbed to death with engorged penises.
