News: Midler Calls For First Wives Club Sequel

I caught Bette on Rachael Ray yesterday and they were talking about this saying that she wished they had got the chance to do it not long after the original movie. I for one would love to see the sequel as adore this movie.

Actress Bette Midler wants to reunite with Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton for a sequel to 1996 comedy movie The First Wives’ Club.

The trio played three spurned women who seek revenge on the husbands who left them for younger women, in the comedy hit.

Midler insists Hollywood sexism prevented them from making a follow-up sooner, but she’s not given up hope – and is hoping to bring the story up to date on the big screen.

The star says, “I really do regret the fact that we didn’t get to do a sequel earlier and it’s funny when women have a big success, they say, ‘Ah, it’s a fluke’, but when men have a big success they bring a sequel straight out. We had a huge hit but then they couldn’t get it together for a sequel, it wasn’t organised enough to get it done again. So it really broke my heart.

“I was actually thinking in the shower the other day, has it been too long? Will people remember? It’s been two generations! I think if they got it together I think the crowd would come out for it, I really do.”

News: McGregor’s Holy Costume

I think this is really interesting !!!

Ewan McGregor felt a special link to the Catholic Church while shooting controversial new movie Angels & Demons in the Vatican City – his costume was made by the pope’s own tailor.

McGregor plays a priest alongside Tom Hanks in the film, a prequel to controversial 2006 drama The Da Vinci Code.

The feature was expected to upset Catholic scholars in the Vatican because it’s storyline deals with a brotherhood within the Catholic Church whose members commit murder to ‘protect’ Jesus Christ’s lineage.

Reviewers at The Vatican’s newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, who attended a special screening earlier this month, dubbed the film inaccurate but “harmless”.

And McGregor has revealed the project got an early boost, when Pope Benedict XVI’s tailor agreed to make his character’s cassock.

He says, “It was so beautiful because it was made by the Pope’s tailor. I don’t know that the Pope knows that. I don’t know that he’d be too pleased. The Vatican weren’t very happy about The Da Vinci Code and as a hangover to that weren’t too thrilled about Angels & Demons. But there’s no anti-Catholicism or anti-Christianity in the movie – otherwise I wouldn’t have made it. But his tailor made me my cassock, yeah.”

News: Newman’s Secret Sex Life The Subject Of Scandalous New Expose

I think its terrible that people will write stuff like this or mention, how can anyone ever know the truth when the people in question are no longer alive??? Its so disrespectful !!!

Paul Newman has been ‘outed’ from beyond the grave by Marlon Brando, according to writer Darwin Porter’s scandalous new book on the late movie legend.

Porter interviewed Brando about Newman before the acting great died in 2004 – and he was stunned with what the heavyweight star let slip.

In his book, Paul Newman: The Man Behind The Baby Blues, he quotes Brando as saying, “He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark.”

Porter tells America’s the Globe he has been tracking Newman’s secret sexual encounters since he met the actor in 1959 and alleges in his new book the late star, who was happily married to actress Joanne Woodward for 50 years, bedded icons like Grace Kelly, Judy Garland, Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe.

The writer also claims Newman and James Dean had a gay romance.

But the actor’s family has dismissed Porter’s book, claiming the sex allegations are “disgusting”.

A source says, “Paul knew there were rumours out there about his sexuality and to have to face them when he’s not here to dispute them is Joanne’s worst nightmare.”

Steven Spielberg and Drew Barrymore are in talks to bring legendary movie alien E.T. back to Earth in a big budget Hollywood sequel.

Twenty-seven years after a six-year-old Barrymore melted film fans’ hearts playing little Gertie, a girl who befriends an extraterrestrial visitor, director Spielberg wants to reunite the pair.

News: Generous Douglas Rewards Kids At Namesake School

I think this is such a nice gesture !!!

Generous movie legend Kirk Douglas hands every kid who graduates from the U.S. high school he sponsors a cheque for $500 (£333).

Douglas’ support for the California school, which offers troubled kids a second chance, prompted education bosses to name it after him.

And the Spartacus star makes a point of meeting and congratulating ever student who passes their senior year at the Kirk Douglas Continuation School.

In a posting on his MySpace blog, the 92-year-old writes, “A few weeks ago, I made a visit to the Kirk Douglas High School. I am proud that they asked to name their school after me.

“One of my pet projects is to try to inspire young people to at least have a high school education. Then, I try to encourage them to go to college. As a small inducement, I give every graduate a $500.00 check.

“When I spoke to the students I was surprised that they each gave me their personal pledge of what they wanted to do in life to improve our world: from volunteering in hospitals and local schools, to supporting our troops by sending letters and care packages. One student has agreed to help the elderly by volunteering at a convalescent center (I wonder if I inspired him). I am proud of the students of Kirk Douglas High School.”

News: New Moon Script Found In The Trash

I bet someone will not be very happy about this !!!

A humble beauty salon owner will mingle with stars at the New Moon premiere – after she discovered the film’s script in a trash can and handed it in to studio bosses.

Casey Ray from St. Louis, Missouri found the discarded screenplay, along with another script for a venture entitled Memoirs in a bin while waiting for her boyfriend to finish work.

And rather than leak the film’s plot to fans of the Twilight series, Ray has been praised by the film’s studio Summit Entertainment for her honesty after she came forward with the scripts.

A representative for the studio says, “We thank Ms. Ray for doing the right thing.”

And bosses are so thankful for the return of the script, they have invited Ray to both films’ premieres.

Ray’s lawyer states that although she considered holding on to the New Moon screenplay as a collector’s item, “she didn’t really want to get paid” for the script.

It is not known how the scripts ended up in the bin, although actress Anna Kendrick, who stars in the vampire franchise, was recently filming in a hotel near where the items were found.

However, Kendrick’s rep insists the star wouldn’t leave her scripts in a public trash can.

News: Titanic Stars Hand Over Cash To Ship’s Last Survivor

Awwwww I think thats really nice 🙂

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have proved their generosity is of Titanic proportions – after donating $30,000 (£20,000) to help the last remaining survivor from the doomed ship.

The pair, who starred as tragic lovers in the 1997 blockbuster, along with the movie’s director James Cameron, handed over the cash to ensure 98-year-old Millvina Dean can pay her nursing home fees, reports Access Hollywood.

Dean was the ship’s youngest passenger at nine months old when the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank en-route to New York in 1912. She is the ship’s only living survivor.

Photographer Don Mullan made an appeal to help raise money for Dean in the Sunday edition of the Irish Independent newspaper, and also reached out to Winslet, DiCaprio and Cameron in a bid to raise awareness.

Mullan has already set up an exhibition to raise funds.

He explains to the publication, “I figured that if the edition sold out, it would secure Millvina for a full year. My plan, however, was to double the impact and thereby secure her for two years.

“I decided, therefore, at the opening of the exhibition, to publicly challenge James Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, 20th Century Fox and Celine to match me dollar for dollar.”

According to reports, Mullan is still waiting to be contacted by Celine Dion, who won an Oscar for the movie’s theme song My Heart Will Go On.

Top 10 Movie Love Songs

I have been feeling rather on the lovely dovey side for no reason whatsoever, so thought I would pick my top 10 movie love songs. Or songs about love.

10. My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion (Titanic)

I think while this song gets a lot of criticism and people saying this dislike it. I am sure when it first came out everyone loved it a lot. It totally fits together with the movie and the ending. “Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you” I mean that line is just so lovely its unreal. I love it!

9. It Must’ve Been Love– Roxette (Pretty Woman)

Probably quite a strange choice with this being top 10 love songs, when this is about a love ending. “It must’ve been love . . . but its over now . . . “. I am sure loads of people have related to this song, but in terms of the movie it wasnt over for Jules and Richard. It was just a small stepping stone until they got together for real in the end. Which is how most people would love to happen to them in there lives.

8. Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers (Ghost)

How could this not be in the top 10?!?!? The very famous pottery scene and when everyone was totally in love with Patrick Swayze after Dirty Dancing. Lovely . . .  “I’ve hungered for your touch, alone . . . lonely times . . . and time goes by so slowly . . . ” I think its just perfect for this movie it fit together so well. “Are you still mine . . . I need your love . . .” it really is a deep love song. Longing for the person and wanting them more than anything. Which is just awwwwww.

7. When You Say Nothing At All– Ronan Keating (Notting Hill)

“You say it best . . . when you say nothing it all . . .” It would probably look like a very strange love song, “what I hear when you dont say a thing” its relating to all the emotions a person shows towards someone that they are in love with and care about a lot. So to show you love someone you dont have to say anything and in Hugh Grants case in the film that probably would have been the best idea haha. He always seemed to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

6. Time of My Life– Jennifer Warnes &  Bill Medley (Dirty Dancing)

“Now I’ve had the time of my life, never felt like this before, I swear its the truth and I owe it all to you . . .” I think that opening line to this song, describes how baby feels towards Johnny throughout the whole film. He taught her so much in such a short period of the time and they fell for each other so much. So I think this song perfectly fits the movie, and especially the ending. Showing everyone that they had the time of their lives. “This could be love . . .”
