| 'Cat' revival |
[27 Dec 2009|12:44pm] |
Benicio Del Toro is about to star as the new "Wolfman," a remake of the classic Universal horror film. But sources said Del Toro is developing another remake -- of the cult classic TV series "T.H.E. Cat."
The dark, stylish NBC show ran for one season in 1966 and starred Robert Loggia as a hard-hitting former circus-aerialist-turned-gun for hire named "T. Huett Ed ward Cat," a k a "The Cat."
Our source said, "Benicio is looking to start filming early 2010." The series was also inspired, in part, by Alfred Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief," which George Clooney is rumored to want to remake with "Mad Men" star January Jones in the Grace Kelly role.

| Headbanger Music is a Danger to Birds |
[27 Dec 2009|11:01am] |
AC/DC Austrian concert in doubt over rare bird risk
* AC/DC concert may be cancelled
* Headbanger music "a danger to birds"
* Animal rights group threatening legal action
AUSSIE rockers AC/DC could have to cancel a sold-out concert because their big sound poses a danger to rare birds.
Animal rights campaigners are threatening legal action if the veteran band goes ahead with a gig planned for Wels airport in Austria in May.
Hans Uhl of BirdLife said birds nesting in the area at the time would be threatened by anthems such as Highway To Hell and You Shook Me All Night Long.
"The second biggest colony of curlews in Upper Austria and various other ground-nesting birds must not become endangered," Mr Uhl said, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Tickets for the event - which sees the group return after playing to a sold-out crowd at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium last May - sold out after going on sale earlier this month.
The event's 80,000 tickets were sold out within hours.
In Australia, the band's Melbourne concerts at Etihad Stadium in February had been in doubt after AFL objections earlier this year.
The AFL said the dates would clash with a possible pre-season NAB Cup match.
But the signing of a new contract between the league and the stadium has allowed AC/DC to go ahead with the three Melbourne shows on February 11, 13 and 15.
The band sold 180,000 tickets for those shows.

| Keep 'em wild |
[27 Dec 2009|12:48pm] |
Country star Willie Nelson has joined the Animal Welfare Institute's efforts to save the last of America's wild horses. Nelson, who has 68 horses, says in a letter:
"I got involved eight years ago when AWI first made me aware that American horses are being slaughtered and shipped overseas for human consumption."
He's urging fans to help, adding: "There are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild. Something is wrong with that, so we must act now before the Bureau of Land Management has managed these magnificent animals into extinction."

| Jessica Simpson's New Swim Line and Cheapest Beauty Secret |
[27 Dec 2009|10:14am] |
StyleList: What inspired your new swimwear line?
Jessica Simpson: My spring collection was inspired by my favorite vacations and the jet-setting getaways I dream about. From the nautical seashores here at home, to hot Havana nights or the bold colors you'd think of in an exotic foreign land, the line is fun and flirty, but still so classic. I'm always inspired by my fans and I want my clothes to be pieces that women feel confident wearing anywhere.
SL: What was the design process like?
JS: It has been so much fun. I worked with my great team and Red Carter -- they really know swimwear. The product looks great and fits so well, which is really important in a swimsuit. My mom is also a huge part of the line. We love working together from inspiration to final product -- we touch each and every item.

Taylor Swift ‘Jealous of Emma Roberts’
Taylor Swift is not a lady to be messed with!
The singer — who recently celebrated her 20th birthday — apparently flew into a jealous rage when she saw Julia Roberts‘ niece Emma Roberts making a play for her hunky beau Taylor Lautner, who stars with both girls in new movie Valentine’s Day.
“Everyone on set could tell Emma was crushing on Taylor’s teenage toyboy — she kept making goo-goo eyes whenever she saw him, even though they have no scenes together,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.
“Then Emma pushed too hard, unexpectedly showing up on-set to watch a love scene between Taylor and Taylor.
“Swift got really creeped out because Emma kept staring at Taylor, so just to show her that the race really does go to the swift, she suddenly kissed her boyfriend like he was the last guy on earth.
“Her kiss was so long and passionate that everyone held their breath, knowing it was an in-your-face warning to Emma that she’d better back off fast.”

| Piers Morgan and Paris Hilton say 'I do' in Las Vegas... |
[27 Dec 2009|04:34am] |
He may be a happily engaged man, but that didn’t stop Piers Morgan eloping to Vegas to ‘marry’ a blonde 16 years his junior. And his bride? The socialite hotel heiress Paris Hilton. In typical Vegas style, Mr Morgan, who announced his engagement to writer Celia Walden only two weeks ago, got ‘hitched’ under the watchful eyes of an Elvis impersonator, a Marilyn Monroe lookalike and several Rat Pack mimics. Mr Morgan, 44, joked of his ‘Sin City’ wedding: ‘You know what it’s like - you have a few drinks, spend too long on the blackjack table, get over-excited and decide to do something silly. ‘I have to say, Paris scrubbed up to be a beautiful bride. It was magical.’ However, given The Mail on Sunday columnist’s reputation for self-promotion, it will come as little surprise to discover that the wedding was staged for his forthcoming ITV1 show. Although the 15-minute service at the Little Church of the West was not official, there were times when the Britain’s Got Talent judge feared it may have gone too far. ‘Well, I don’t think I signed anything, so I’m pretty sure it’s not actually legal,’ he said. ‘Having said that, we did go through all the vows, so I can’t be entirely sure.’ Miss Hilton, 28, wore an Enzoani ivory dress for the ceremony, and was given a diamond-encrusted ring by Mr Morgan. They met in a hotel room beforehand and chatted on the bed for the ITV show Piers Morgan On...Las Vegas, which airs on Saturday. Miss Hilton said: ‘You can do anything here, it’s crazy. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!’ In real life, Mr Morgan proposed to Ms Walden, the daughter of former Tory MP George Walden, earlier this month, during a romantic stay in Paris. But Ms Walden took the Vegas wedding in her stride. ‘When I told her the news, she just shrugged her shoulders sadly and said, “How can I ever compete with Paris Hilton?”,’ Mr Morgan said. Mr Morgan - who last year divorced Marion Shalloe, his wife of 17 years and mother of his three sons - has been dating Ms Walden for four years, after falling for her when he interviewed her for men’s magazine GQ. Mr Morgan, who has an estimated £15million fortune, recently spent £4million on a five-bedroom house in Kensington, West London – buying it from Ms Walden’s father. SOURCE

[27 Dec 2009|02:23am] |
Say hello to Katt Williams' little friend.
TMZ has obtained photographs of Katt in Hollywood early yesterday morning -- which show the comedian with what looks like a handgun holstered in the back of his pants.
Sources at the scene say Katt was involved in a verbal altercation with a group of people outside of Bar Lux Club at around 1:15 AM. We're told during the spat ... Katt went to his car and retrieved the alleged weapon, stuffing it in his jeans.
After a lot of yelling, everyone parted ways.
Katt's lawyer could not be reached for comment.
