Demi Moore is teaching eldest daughter, Rumer Willis, about the fine art of the entertainment industry - and after hours includes a stripper pole! I'd love to make some crass remark, but I'm down with a cold and the day has already been marred by death and misspellings (though not equal in tragedy). I'll let Life & Style take it away:
[Mothers and daughters like to shop together -- but pole
dancing? That's what Striptease star Demi Moore, 47, and daughter Rumer Willis,
21, did for fun at a party at the Chateau Marmont in LA on Feb. 27. "There
was a pole at the bash, and Demi thought it would be fun to show everyone she
still has what it takes," says a partygoer. "Demi even spun around
the pole upside down. It was incredible." Then it was Rumer's turn, as
stepdad Ashton Kutcher and A-listers Jennifer Aniston and Leonardo DiCaprio,
among others, looked on. "It was strange, but Demi encouraged Rumer to
join her," says the partygoer. "Everyone was cheering, and Leo gave
Ashton a high-five. Ashton put his arms around both Demi and Rumer and looked
like the proudest man in the room."]
Here's the difference: Demi Moore pole dancing at a Chateau Marmont bash is quaint and A-list approved. Lindsay Lohan doing the same thing at the same place leads to squawking tabloids and a Hazmet team. Very important to note the disparity. This story sounds a little too cutesy, but given the players (Moore, Willis and Kutcher) I totally buy it.
Eighties icon Corey Haim passed away early this morning at his mother's home. It's been alleged that the cause of death was an accidental overdose, though that has not yet been confirmed. All I know is that he was a sweet guy who was striving to keep his life on track. He was a seminal part of 80's culture, leaving an indelible mark on the films from that time. My heart goes out to his mother, friends and family. Haim was much too young to go. Rest in peace, Corey. I'm no good at the death stuff. I'll let E! fill you in on details. From E! Online:
[While we await word from Corey Haim's foremost costar, Corey
Feldman--who has called an afternoon press conference to pay tribute to his
fallen friend--another colleague has stepped forward in the wake of Haim's
unexpected death.
Film producer Tina Brown tells E! News that Haim was set to
start production on a dark new film, A Detour in Life, next month. Brown wrote
the movie, about a man who succumbs to drunkenness and other self-destructive
impulses, specifically for Haim, who not only would have starred but also
directed.
"This was to be his directorial debut," she said.
"We were going to start shooting in late spring. I talked to him back in
November at the premiere of American Sunset and he was doing great, so it was
really a shock."
Made all the more so by his apparent clean-living lifestyle
when she last saw him.
"He was extremely healthy," she said. "I saw
him the year before and he was super skinny, but he had put on a lot of weight
and looked a lot more coherent and looked extremely well."
Even as recently as last week, Brown said she spoke with the
former child star's manager, who relayed the news that Haim was very much
looking forward to starting work on the project, which would mark a new
direction for his career.
"I talked to him just last week, and Corey was waiting
for an update," she said of her discussion with manager Mark Heaslip.
"[Haim] was very, very excited to do this role because
it would be the first time he got to do a real adult role...being a father and
everything which he had never got to do. I had written the script for him to
play James. I really wanted to see him do something out of the horror stuff or
the comical stuff and take on something really dramatic."
As for the project's current status, Brown said the
devastated crew will continue on in Haim's honor once they all process the
tragedy.
"I'm still trying to get ahold of the other producers.
Only half of them know," she said.
"We plan on still doing the film and doing it in memory
of him because I'm sure that's what he would want. He loved the film. To find
someone to replace him is going to be a difficult task. He would have done a
great, great job."
But while Haim never got to bring that project to fruition,
he did complete one movie that will be posthumously released. Haim had already
wrapped work on what was supposed to be the first of his comeback films,
American Sunset, a low-budget horror flick.
The trailer made its way online last month, though the
feature has no definite release date. Or medium. While its official website
says the film is priming for a theatrical release sometime this year, it also
notes that the movie will be out "on pay TV, cable or DVD" this fall.]
Corey will always live in my mind's eye as that adorable kid from Lost Boys, and beyond...
I guess ten seconds is all you get when you've got a love story based on the ideals of purity and Mormonism. Hot times! Furthermore, this is only the tease of the teaser - the real (still short) trailer is released tomorrow. Way to build the anticipation! Details, via Ryan Seacrest:
[Cliché romantic one-liners? Check. Sweeping shots of the Pacific Northwest? Check. Taylor Lautner's rock-hard abs? Check. 10 seconds of our day gone? Check.
Yes indeed Twi-hards, the 10-second teaser of a longer
teaser trailer for "Eclipse" has hit the web. The full teaser
trailer will be released tomorrow (March 11) at 6:00 AM PST.]
I'm totally setting my alarm... for 8 AM, like I always do! I've given up reading the books because I can't stand to waste the time on poorly written novellas. But, the movies! The movies I have time for - mainly because I love laughing with my friends. And we do laugh out loud at the Twilight flicks. Not too loud though - we don't want to get chased through the mall by a pack of rabid Edward Cullen lovin' teens.
If you're craving a booty like J.Lo's or Kim Kardashian's, it pays to go for the best. That would seem like common sense when it comes to going under the knife - but in this case, the ladies in the video above definitely got the short end of the plastic surgery stick. Yikes! Be careful what you pay for - especially when it comes from the hardware store. The doctor who injected the woman with caulk is obviously a complete bastard, by the way. Hello, lawsuit!
I promise to be done with the Oscars after this (until 2011,) but this was too funny not to share! Though Jimmy Kimmel is on my shit-list for breaking Sarah Silverman's heart (she's recovering nicely, by the way), there's no denying that he's a seriously funny guy. Here's Jimmy's sendup of the Academy Awards in a hilarious spoof of "real life acting awards." Bonus points for the use of Liam Neeson! Enjoy.

* Hayden Panettiere wants something out of Gerard Butler. Hint: It's in his pants. He's got no standards at all, so I don't see why Hayden wouldn't make the cut. In fact, this makes the most sense of anything I've read all day. ~ NY Daily News

Billy Corgan recently chatted with Rolling Stone, giving a revealing interview. I can't say that I really give a shit, but Billy did come up with this little gem. Check it out:
[Billy Corgan also opened up about John Mayer's controversial
interview in Playboy, which he says what Jessica Simpson was like in bed. Corgan says, "There're things you should really just keep your
mouth shut on."
Corgan has never met Mayer but he says that Mayer's recent
controversial race remarks suggest "he's trying to destroy his career." He adds that Mayer is "certainly a talented guy ... It's hard
to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground - speaking as
somebody who's done it."]
Wow. I think Billy is actually onto something. There's more truth to that theory than John is most likely willing to face at this time. It's funny - Corgan and Mayer are actually a lot alike. Both have had mainstream musical success, while often taking a beating from critics. Moreover, both consider themselves highly intelligent, while simultaneously proving to be the contrary. Maybe these two self-aware, insecure douchebags could find some common ground. Other than the familiar terrain of Jessica Simpson and her booty, that is...
The short answer is "yes." Sometimes greed can bite you in the ass. This may be one of those times. You may have heard about Jennifer Lopez's extended court case against her first husband, Ojani Noa and film producer Ed Meyer. Lopez is in a desperate struggle to block a film Ojani and Ed wish to make about Noa's time with J.Lo - mainly because Jenny fears the project will unearth her many skeletons. Well, it turns out Jennifer may just have to deal with it. Despite her many attacks on the duo, Jennifer is not even properly listed as a defendant in her own court case. She doesn't own the rights to her name or, more significantly, her biography! So what's the fuss about, J.Lo? Details, from a source close to the case, state:
[This was just brought to my attention by the media. Jennifer
Lopez is not a proper Plaintiff in obtaining the Preliminary Injunction, as she
does not even own the commercial rights to her own name nor her own BIOGRAPHY.
Reference the attached sale of rights to her name and
BIOGRAPHY to an LLC named "JLO HOLDING COMPANY, LLC".
(REGISTRANT)
Lopez, Jennifer INDIVIDUAL UNITED STATES CALIFORNIA
I'm no lawyer... but if Lopez doesn't own her name or rights to her biography, how can she attempt to block someone from using said information? Obviously Jennifer sold off her name to her own company, in some sort of convoluted attempt to make money while simultaneously releasing herself from personal responsibility. Somewhere, somehow that makes sense. I don't stroll in the rarified air of high finance, so I'm unprepared to explain why this move would be financially beneficial. I can only speak from the hyperbole of assumption - what's good for Jennifer Lopez is most assuredly going to benefit J.Lo! The high life might have finally caught up with Jenny From The Block, given that this slippery name swap may have just cost her the injunction against Noa and Meyer. What does that mean for us? Yet another step closer to seeing J.Lo's dirty secrets on the big screen! I don't want to jump ahead of myself, but I'm going to put in my order for movie popcorn now... Stay tuned!
