John Singleton Tells Alan Jones To Take It Easy

2:07PM Jess McGuire | God bless John Singleton. Not only is he a baby making machine, a hugely successful businessman, and his Wikipedia entry says he is “well known as a larrikin in Australia for his love of good times, evident in him buying drinks for the entire Rosehill racecourse in Sydney after his horse won the prestigious Golden Slipper” (respect!), but he’s also a True Blue Good Mate TM to his pals.

John Singleton Brings Impossible Dream of ‘A-Team’ Adaptation to Screen

4:40AM Defamer Hollywood | We’ve long believed that of all of Mr. T’s deeply subversive acting work of the ’80s, nothing demands a more serious reappraisal through the prism of contemporary social issues than The A-Team. Especially an A-Team directed by John Singleton, whom Fox has nabbed for its feature-length adaptation to open in summer 2009.

Tara Reid Is Coming Down Under!

9:46AM Jess McGuire | We received numerous emails from tipsters yesterday declaring their complete panic at news notorious Hollywood party girl Tara Reid is planning a move to Australia! Reports SameSame – Reid has been offered a recording contract with SonyBMG and is set to move into the Rex Apartment Building in Sydney’s Potts Point in March, according to PR man Mark Patrick in the Sunday Telegraph yesterday. In January 2007, Reid was brought to Australia by ad exec John Singleton and retailer Gerry Harvey. “I love Australia. The people are amazing and I love Australians, they’re a lot of fun and just really good people,” said Reid at the time. It was Singleton who introduced Reid to SongBMG head Denis Handlin, so we’re laying the blame directly on him. There’s so much we can’t comprehend about the above. John Singleton, a man who allegedly knows what’s hot and what’s not, thinks Tara Reid is the shizz? Tara Reid sings? Tara Reid is being signed by SonyBMG? They’re unable to record whatever musical monstrosities she comes up with overseas? TARA REID IS MOVING TO AUSTRALIA? Wait, what are we saying? This is great news for Defamer Australia, Sydney-based paparazzi, and amorous Bourbon and Beefsteak attending rugby league players. Welcome to Oz, Tara! More »
