Prince Shia LaBeouf to Lay Waste to Elders, Minorities and the Poor at the Box Office

2:05AM STV | Welcome back to Defamer Attractions, your indispensable guide to what’s new, noteworthy and/or totally doomed this week at the movies. Today we welcome Shia LaBeouf and his million-dollar pinkie back to theatres alongside Spike Lee, Richard Gere, Diane Lane, Charlize Theron and Kirk Cameron (!), while facing a robust litter of potential arthouse underdogs and DVD release for the agoraphobes among us. As always, our opinions are our own, but if Josh Groban can steadfastly see it our way, shouldn’t you as well? More »

Will Kirk Cameron Be The Surprise King of The Box Office This Weekend?

5:25AM Defamer Hollywood | Actually, no he won’t. But the former Growing Pains star and born-again nutjob does have a movie coming out called Fireproof, and according to the LA Times it “has been No. 1 in advance sales on movie ticketing site Fandango.com with 31% of this week’s business, albeit in a slow marketplace– even outpacing sales for the big-budget popcorn thriller Eagle Eye, starring heartthrob Shia LaBeouf.” How in the name of Boner Stabone is this possible?

Vh1 Goes To The Has-Been Well Once Again For Upcoming ‘Heartthrobs’ Show

8:30AM Molly Friedman | There is no point fighting it anymore. Vh1 will continue to produce shows featuring has-been stars from our youth and, like moths to the TV screen, we’ll watch them cry, urinate on themselves and make out in hot tubs until the end of time. Their newest idea will feature (shocker!) Vh1 reality vet Scott Baio mentoring eight “male teen idols” of the 80s in an effort to jump-start a comeback. Since the sad little group has yet to be revealed, we went ahead and picked two former crushworthy picks we’d most like to see week after week, and the two who might force us to cancel our cable package altogether: More »

Short Ends: Jodie Foster Typo Crisis Averted!

11:55AM Defamer Hollywood | · Ah, that’s better. Now Jodie Foster’s people can enjoy their weekend, knowing their client is special enough to Warner Bros. to finally have her name spelled correctly. · We recommend that you watch the first few minutes of this video from the set of Iron Man because it’s painfully obvious how little Robert Downey, Jr, usually ready to launch into a stream-of-consciousness digression the moment someone produces a recording device in his presence, doesn’t want to talk to the poor kid from MTV. Also of interest: Favs seems to have slimmed down quite a bit, and is in fine directing shape. · We recommend that you watch this video only if you’re willing to wash your eyes in bleach at its conclusion. [via LA Rag Mag] · Judd Apatow isn’t thrilled with this “Mayor of Comedy” business. Besides, he makes way more money than a mayor these days. · You know what never ceases to be a little weird, even though it’s old news? The whole born-again Kirk Cameron deal. More »
