12:19AM Hamilton Nolan | Michael Douglas’ son Cameron—co-star of the unfortunately-named It Runs In The Family—was busted last night in the Gansevoort Hotel for trying to sell a shitload of crystal meth. More »

Wall Street Episode II: Attack Of The Loans

6:50AM Richard Lawson | Now is the perfect time to make movies about the economy, because it’s all anyone can talk about, so they must want to watch it, too. Specifically, someone should really do a Wall Street sequel. More »

‘Wall Street’ Sequel Revives Gordon Gekko Just in Time For New Depression

7:20AM STV | Finally, word surfaces today about that rarest of rare Hollywood specimens: a sequel we can actually get behind. Not that we’re wholeheartedly endorsing Fox’s reported plans for a follow-up to Wall Street (and we reserve the right to revoke our support if “Wall Street 2” ever appears following the working title Money Never Sleeps), but the news that Oliver Stone’s 1987 potboiler has a “fast-tracked” follow-up yields the kind of timely potential Lord knows we’ll miss in so many of its sad, franchise-y contemporaries — plus a Charlie Sheen-free zone where we can comfortably reacquaint ourselves with one of our favourite ’80s villains.

5:20AM STV | Are You Mick Jagger? SAG Has Your Money: A recent scan by Sharon Waxman of the Screen Actors Guild’s Web site yielded the only slightly staggering discovery that the union is holding more than $25 million in unclaimed funds for almost 67,000 members. The majority is dead (Katherine Hepburn, John F. Kennedy, Buster Keaton), but no small number is still alive and working, including Michael Douglas, Mick Jagger, Patrick Dempsey and even Eric Bogosian — who last week was elected to SAG’s board, making its official “we can’t find these people” excuse all the more baffling. On the bright side, Assaf Cohen is on his way. Changes will be made! [WaxWord] More »

Steven Soderbergh Headed Back To Vegas For ‘Oceans 14: The Liberace Project’

3:04AM Seth | In keeping with the current indie trend in which every 20th Century Gay of Note gets their own biopic (first came Capote, then Milk, and in the works are Taylor Hackford Tennessee Williams project, Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock, and James Franco channeling Alan Ginsberg in Howl), we can now add a little razmatazz to the mix, as Steven Soderbergh is developing a Liberace biography.

Amy Winehouse Round-Up: A New Look For Michael Douglas

11:37AM Clem Bastow | Fortunately these last few days Winegums seems to be behaving herself (well, as much as she can manage), hanging out with producer Mark Ronson and seemingly staying away from Blake Fielder-Civil and his zombie paws of death. So, today’s Winegums Watch comes to you in the form of this rather amusing snafu on the part of The Mail’s photo editor: We’re not particularly mad about Amy’s new look, either, but surely this is taking it a bit too far?

Baked Fish Is The Best

10:15AM Defamer Hollywood | We have to admit that, up to this point, we haven’t been regular watchers of BET’s Hell Date. That’s all about to change. Remember when we said yesterday that we were totally going to buy the new issue of GQ because Rachel Bilson is on the cover? Well, we lied. Egotastic has got the pictures. Frankly, we were hoping for more. Our favorite Olsen, Ashley, made out with our least favorite Leto, Jared. Absolut Vagina! Probably better than Absolut Kurant. Enjoy this complete retrospective of Amy Winehouse’s hair. I’ll Say I’m Sorry, But I’m Not Taking Off My Glasses: The T-Shirt [via Gorilla Mask] And you thought Kirk Douglas looked old? More »
