‘Sex And The City’ Prequel In The Works? Posted: 26 Jul 2011 12:40 PM PDT ‘Sex and The City‘ may be returning to the big screen, but this time it won't be a sequel. The proposed film will be based on the novels, The Carrie Diaries and Summer And The City, which chronicles the lives of the four New York ladies during their teen years and early twenties. Rumor has it that the roles will go to Blake Lively as Samantha, Selena Gomez as Charlotte, Emma Roberts as Miranda and Elizabeth Olsen as Carrie. Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't seem to be too fond of this idea stating, "I don’t think we can pretend to go back… It’s creating two histories. It’s like, ‘Oh I didn’t know that about Carrie Bradshaw.'" Kristin Davis agrees saying, "We’ve discussed our history in the show already so for all of our fervent fans who listen to what we say, why would we rewrite that?" In defense of the prequel creator Candace Bushnell said, "Every character has a back-story – what the reader sees, in a sense, is the tip of the iceberg. The characters don’t exist in a vacuum – when we first meet them… in their Thirties and single in New York – they are, in a sense, in the middle of their stories." What do you think of the new cast?

Casey Anthony And Family To Get Millions For Interview Posted: 26 Jul 2011 11:46 AM PDT The networks are going crazy to get an interview with Casey Anthony and her parents. An all out bidding war is raging on between the TV networks NBC, ABC and CBS. Apparently, a syndicated talk show was turned down with a bid of $250,000 for Casey’s parents. That's right $250,000! Rumor has it that the bidding for an interview with Casey Anthony herself was over $1.5 million. NBC is reportedly leading the pack in the bidding war, even though they denied offering any money for an interview, which is technically correct because they are just licensing the right to video and pictures of Anthony. It's a loop hole so they can say they don't pay for interviews. I had no idea killing your child was so lucrative… allegedly.

Amy Winehouse Cremated After Funeral Posted: 26 Jul 2011 10:54 AM PDT The funeral for Amy Winehouse took place yesterday and people in the music industry, friends, band mates and family all came together to mourn their loss. The funeral was held at Edgwarebury Cemetery and was attended by about 150 people, including Kelly Osbourne, producer Mark Ronson and boyfriend Reg Traviss. A spokesperson for Winehouse reveals that in her father's eulogy he was, “telling stories about her childhood, people were laughing like a celebration – like they all remembered the stories themselves.” The service was an hour long ceremony and was partially in Hebrew due to her Jewish heritage. At the end of the service, Carole King's 'So Far Away' which is one of Amy's favorite songs, began to play. Then mourners headed to the Golders Green crematorium, where Winehouse was then cremated. The rep says, “I think because her grandmother was cremated at the same place, so it was a family tradition to be cremated.” Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse's eulogy stated that before she died she was, “the happiest she has been for years.” [Click On Thumbnails To Get A Larger View]

‘Gotti: In The Shadow Of My Father’ To Begin Production In January Posted: 26 Jul 2011 10:17 AM PDT Fiore Films, the independent production company behind the upcoming John Gotti Jr biopic issued in a press release that the upcoming project titled Gotti: In The Shadow of my Father will begin production on January 3rd. Principal photography will be shot on location in New York City, with pre-production to begin in September. Fiore Films, an independent production company, today announced that “GOTTI: In The Shadow Of My Father” will begin principal photography on-location in New York on January 3, with pre-production starting in September. Academy Award-winning director Barry Levinson and Academy Award-nominated writer James Toback, the same team that made “Bugsy” which earned ten Academy Award nominations, are completing a revised version of the original screenplay. Levinson is set to direct the all-star cast that includes John Travolta, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Kelly Preston. Fiore Films expects to announce the casting of John Gotti, Jr., within the next few weeks. There has been much speculation surrounding who will be cast in the co-starring role opposite Travolta. Other roles to be cast include daughter Victoria Gotti. Fiore Films acquired life rights from John Gotti, Jr., the son of the late mob boss John Gotti, to the story of his life with his father. The deal marks the first time a member of the Gotti family has entered into an agreement to tell their story for a major motion picture. “GOTTI: In The Shadow Of My Father” reveals the relationship of a father who lived and died by the mob code and a son who chose to leave that world behind and redeem himself. Never before has there been such an inside look at the life of the Gotti family and their world of danger, betrayal and redemption. Ok, I’m curious about something now… nowhere in that release is there a single mention of Ms. Lindsay Lohan… She was originally tapped to play Victoria Gotti, but then got the part of Kim Gotti. If she’s not mentioned in the press statement, does that mean she got the boot from the project? Hmm… food for thought.

‘American Idol’ Castoff Haley Reinhart Signs Record Deal Posted: 26 Jul 2011 09:57 AM PDT She won over audiences with her raspy Janis Joplin like chops, and now she’s got a deal signed in ink! Haley Reinhart has officially gotten herself a record deal with 19 Entertainment/Interscope Records, and is currently working on her album. Haley got as far as third place in the American Idol competition this year and is continuing a trend of Idol contestants getting record deals. Second place finisher Lauren Alaina signed a deal with Mercury Nashville Records right after the end of the competition. Ninth place finisher and fan favorite Pia Toscano is also signed with Interscope, and has already released her single titled ‘This Time‘. Let’s hope next season’s Idol features as much talent as this past one did!

Justin Bieber: Like Father, Like Son (Photos) Posted: 26 Jul 2011 04:35 AM PDT Months ago, Justin Bieber was spotted frolicking in the surf with girlfriend Selena Gomez, sporting a new tattoo on his ribcage. The tat, which says ‘Jesus’ written in Hebrew, matches one that his father Jeremy Bieber has in the same spot. The elder Bieber took his son to the tattoo parlor and father and son got matching ink done. Oh, how sweet! Or weird.. depending on how you wanna look at it. Dad got his ink done first, and as Justin sat looking scared sh!tless daddy held his hand throughout.

Kim Kardashian’s Look-A-Like Tells Her To Get A Life Posted: 26 Jul 2011 04:18 AM PDT Melissa Molinaro, the lovely young lady chosen to participate in the Old Navy ads, has spoken out about the whole controversy of Kim Kardashian suing the clothing chain for using a look-alike. “We’re still talking about this?! It’s JULY this aired in February…some people have too much time on there [sic] hands” she tweeted. Kardashian, who does not name Molinaro in the suit, is suing the clothier for $20 Million claiming that the ad featured the “unauthorized use of Kardashian’s name, likeness, identity and persona.” Apparently, Kim is concerned about losing out on a ton of money for an upcoming endorsement deal her and her family have with Sears. Oh please. Kim, get off your high horse… you’re not the only woman on the planet that’s got an enormous butt… it’s not even a nice bum, it’s huge and flabby, and you should really go see your plastic surgeon about it. Don’t even try to deny that you use the services of a plastic surgeon… we can ALL tell honey… WHOA! I totally went off on a tangent there. HA!
