‘The Avengers’ Begins Filming Today!

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 03:35 AM PDT

Writer/Director Joss Whedon of Buffy fame is a quirky fellow. He announced to fans last night that Marvel’s new superhero movie The Avengers will begin filming TODAY!

That’s right comic fans, all your favorite superheros (and some you’ve never heard of) will all come together on film. Starting today.

Whedon wrote a post on the Whedonesque.com website that said the following;

Hi Pumpkins, joss here.

Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that). Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:

[Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss's keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in "Stormy Monday", drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]

Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this. I’ll be checking in from time to time, if there’s news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake) . None of it will be Avengers news — I have some very denty pillows to remind of that — but I may have tidbits. (They’re not about Firefly. I should say that up front, if only to protect Sis Mo from the HATORZ.)

Some of you may be saying, Joss! Why this link, here, now, why, huh, howcum? My friend Allyx turned me on to these guys, and I’ll tell you, they’ve gotten me through this intensely pressurized, preply time. I strongly recommend checking out their other vids — I’ve watched them many many times, and I have a very special place for “Teamwork” in my heart. These guys are the guys. And IS there a better movie title than “Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses”? I thought not.

So wish me luck. DO IT! LUCK! NOW! I’m off to finish some Buffy pages, and then figure out what the movie is about already. I’m pretty sure it’s about the Justice League [Marvel Lawyers re-enter, unspeakability occurs] or possibly something else. I’ll get it. I’ve been looking forward to this. For about 46 years.

Catchphrase!

The film stars Robert Downey Jr, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johanson, Chris Evans and many, many others.

The Avengers is scheduled to hit theaters on May 4th 2012.

Lindsay Lohan Is Damn Mad Over Jail Sentence!

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 12:15 AM PDT

Lindsay Lohan, accused of stealing a necklace, spent five hours in custody before posting a $75,000 bond Friday evening after a judge sentenced her to 120 days in jail for violating her drunk driving probation.

What does she think? She’s mad!

“She is fine,” says producer Nathan Folks, who is a close friend of Lohan. “Obviously, she is upset about [being sentenced to four months in jail].”

Why is she angry?

“She is angry because she has been working so hard on turning her life around,” says Folks, who insists Lohan is clean and sober. “She didn’t do what they said she did. She didn’t steal that necklace.”

Lohan remains free pending an appeal of the sentence, which legal experts say she has slim chance of winning.

Lohan's pre-trial hearing will be May 11 and her trial was set for June 3. Lindsay was ordered by the judge to personally appear for both occasions. She also must report on July 21 for an update on her probation violation.

Simon Cowell Confirms Paula Abdul For X Factor!

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 10:40 PM PDT


Simon Cowell has chosen his judging panel for this fall's The X Factor on Fox.

According to Deadline, former American Idol judge Paula Abdul and British singer Cheryl Cole will join Cowell and Antonio "L.A." Reid on the panel.

While Cowell said negotiations with Abdul haven’t begun yet, he said “there’s a good chance it will be her.”

“I missed her the second she left [Idol],” Cowell said. “Always loved working with her even though she can be a pain. … I don’t know what it is about her, but I’ve always clicked with her. You just have to get that chemistry, and she’s right. I’ve never found anyone better than her.”

Cowell also confirmed reports that British singer Cheryl Cole will likely be the fourth judge at the table. Although Cole, who also is a judge on the British version of X Factor, is relatively unknown to U.S. audiences, Cowell defended the choice, saying Cole is “special.”

“Shes a great judge. She’s smart,” Cowell said. “It’s just a hunch. If people take to her like the British public did, I think she’s going to do really well in America. And Fox was desperate to hire her.”

The X Factor, which premieres this fall, will search the nation for undiscovered artist or group. The winning act will receive a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.

Are you as happy as I am to see Simon and Paula reunited?

Lady Gaga Sometimes Feels Like A Loser (Video)

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 07:21 PM PDT

HBO is teasing new documentary-style footage of Lady Gaga praying backstage, as the network counts down to its May 7th broadcast of ‘Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden.’

The black-and-white clip is essentially a monologue, as Gaga faces her dressing-room mirror and gets some pretty intense emotions off her chest, while wiping makeup off her face. Get this… she still feels like a loser.

Gaga explains that although her monstrously successful tour has reached the biggest venue in her hometown of Manhattan, she struggles with insecurity: “I still sometimes feel like a loser kid in high school.”

“I gotta pick myself up and I have to tell myself I’m a superstar every morning so that I can get through this day and be for my fans what they need me to be.”

She adds that she feels her reputation for showiness has led people to misjudge who she is.

“It hurts when I know how much authenticity and how much genuine blood is in my spirit, and how much I feel like people don’t know that,” she explains.

Preview her musical performance after the jump!
