Will ‘Twilight’ Make Studio Turnaround Fashionable at Last? [Trade Secrets] [ November 21st, 2008 ] Posted in » Celebrities

Paramount production president Brad Weston has had a squirmy few days since Patrick Goldstein outed him as the man who put Twilight in turnaround at the studio, deflecting blame where he can while watching the movie blossom into a potential billion-dollar franchise for Summit Entertainment. But listen closely through the catcalls and snickers around town, and you’ll hear a voice imploring calm, even understanding: Turnaround is a good thing!

Or so argues an anonymous filmmaker who today sent word to Hollywood Elsewhere praising the timeless tradition of unloading book and script options, lest they moulder in middle management’s closets instead of rocketing past a green light on another lot:

“When Goldstein ran that story, it increased the level of paranoia in the studios and now people aren’t as likely to put projects into turnaround, which is what saves or releases some projects and results in their being made into films at other studios [...] Let’s say I have a property that’s owned by a studio and it’s not working out. In this situation a studio exec saying to me ‘Fine, I’ll put it into turnaround and let you have it, take it across the street to Warner Bros. and God speed’ is usually an act of benevolence. It saves a project from death.

“Now with this Weston thing, a lot more studio execs and [sic] going to say ‘Sure, I let you take it elsewhere and then two years from now I’ll read about how I’m the asshole who let a big hit go to some other studio? Fuck it, I’m going to hang onto it. I’d rather have the project die here than have it go elsewhere than have an article turn up down the road that’ll make me look stupid.’”

All right, all right, Weston, we get it — you did the right thing. Turnaround for all! You first, Poltergeist.

‘Changeling’ Trailer Starring Angelina Jolie

The trailer for Angelina Jolie’s new movie Changeling set in Los Angeles in the 1920s is out and it looks pretty good. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film has already won awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

The last time Angie played a woman in a mental institution for Girl Interrupted, she won an Oscar and she’s already received Oscar buzz for this role as well. And Clint Eastwood always wins tons of awards, so this could be quite the big hit for both of them.

Heidi Montag is a ‘cheap’ whore, says fashion industry (I might’ve added the whore part)

Thumbnail image for 0828_heidi_montag_groceries_02.jpg

In a glaring example the Apocalypse is at hand, The Hills is a hot commodity these days. Major fashion designers send thousands of dollars worth of clothing to Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge. However, Heidi Montag is left out of this circle of love because, obviously, she has the public persona of a retarded hooker. Fox News reports:

One of Los Angeles’ leading fashion reps (who is often responsible for dressing the likes of Miley Cyrus, Angelina Jolie, Fergie and Carmen Electra) told Pop Tarts that Heidi’s public persona is a little too cheap even for casual (but classy) brands.
“They don’t want their stuff on Heidi, even despite the fact that she is very media-friendly and is photographed a lot,” the rep said. “It’s just not the caliber of celebrity most clients go for.”

Other celebrities of a higher caliber than Heidi Montag:

1. The guy on the Pringles can.
2. Ross Perot.
3. Remember the dude who’s getting a Dell?
4. Jon Stamos. (Marginally.)
5. The Phillie Phanatic.
6. Me. (I want free shit! Size: SEXY.)

Hayden Panettiere Hidden Thong Pictures

Hayden Panettiere Pictures Hayden Panettiere Pictures

Hayden Panettiere isn’t very clever, pulling her see through shirt down to cover up her thong, give my a break. If she thinks she can hide her skimpy little undies from us she’s out of her f@#king mind. Next she’ll be trying to convince us she’s a normal sized human being…. Does she think we’re f@#king retards?

Victoria Beckham will sue anything

victoria-beckham-is-a-role-model.jpg
Hookers need inspiration, too

Victoria Beckham is suing British magazine Now for saying that she uses diet pills to stay thin. From OK Magazine:

The skinny star is furious because tabloid rag Now said that she had her sister sneak the tablets from the UK to Los Angeles to help her keep her weight down.

According to reports, the mom of three is said to be “horrified”, and even says the false claims are “dangerous” because she is a role model to so many people.

Are we talking about the same Victoria Beckham? Because the one I’m thinking of wears strategically placed leopard-print material and shoes I’ve only seen on hookers (in the movies of course, I’d never pay for sex) and is in no way a role model for anyone. Besides, everyone knows how she stays so thin. 2 fingers to thinner thighs!

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi lesbian wed

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi made good on their promise to immediately wed once the ban against gay marriage was deemed unconstitutional in California. Somewhere, John McCain just went “Huh? What? I want tapioca.” People reports:

“Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles,” their spokesperson tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Congratulations to Ellen and Portia. I’m a firm believer that everyone, whether you’re born gay, straight or, in my first wife’s case: porpoise, should have the right to make the most retarded decision of your life. I mean, seriously, I still don’t know how she got to keep the house. I should’ve gone for a prenup, but like any man in my shoes, I couldn’t keep my mind off the blowhole. Ultimately, it’s what drove us apart at the end. And, okay, maybe the harpoon gun.

Kevin Federline learns a valuable lesson in the game of love

Kevin Federline apparently likes the name “Britney” no matter how it’s spelled. He was recently beguiled by the beauty of socialite Brittny Gastineau (above) whose greatest and sole accomplishment is coming out of a wealthy vagina. Page Six reports::

The famous ex of Britney Spears was at Coco de Ville in LA “staring at Brittny Gastineau while she was waiting in line for the bathroom,” said our spy. Federline, who has custody of his and Spears’ sons, “wouldn’t stop checking her out, up and down, but Brittny was not interested.”

Wait. Staring at a woman at the bar for uncomfortable lengths of time does not get you laid? Jesus, poor Kevin Federline must feel like his whole world is a lie. Next, you’re going to tell him wearing a ski mask and waiting for them in the parking lot isn’t “romantic.” *sigh* He’ll never figure girls out…

Captain McConaughey Returns


Attention smoke shops in the greater Los Angeles area, Matthew McConaughey is back!

The no shoe wearing actor was in Boston shooting scenes for his upcoming flick, Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past, which I’m sure will be another classic McConaughey gem.

While he was gone, rumors have been floating around the internet that Marvel Studios may be interested in casting the laid-back actor as comic book hero, Captain America.

Which is a terrible, terrible, idea.

Rachel Bilson - Dog Lover


Actress Rachel Bilson may be dating Hayden Christensen but her true love is her pup, Thurman Murman!

We spotted Rachel with a friend picking up her pampered pooch yesterday at the Groomers in Los Feliz, before heading to a pet store to grab some much needed puppy supplies!

Rachel looks so cute… I just want to put her in my pocket!

In case you didn’t know: Thurman Murman, was the name of the chubby red-headed boy from the hilarious movie, Bad Santa.

Halle Is Spa-Riffic


Yesterday we spotted beautiful new mom and actress, Halle Berry leaving a spa in Los Angeles.

Halle recently gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Nahla Ariela Aubry. She and her ridiculously lucky boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, have been keeping a low profile since their daughter was born but we were lucky enough top spot her.

I honestly wonder when Halle will stop being so attractive? I probably won’t live long enough to see any of her beauty fade, if it ever does.

Hayden Panettiere asked a homeless dude if he had change for a $20

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 20:  (L-R) Heroes c...Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Hayden Panettiere mocks the homeless
Hayden Panettiere mocks the homeless

Why not just ask the dude what color his sports car is? Or what Rolex is more appropriate for summering in Europe, the Submariner or the Yacht-Master? From Star magazine:

While the Heroes cutie was outside taking a break, a homeless man approached her and asked for some change. When Hayden reached into her purse and realized the smallest bill she had was a twenty, she asked him if he could break it!

“When he said no, she apologized and assured him that she would find him later.” (Source)

Isn’t this the same girl that almost got arrested for trying to save some dolphins? Apparently she’s willing to help marine life but not her fellow man. Besides, even if the guy could have made change for a $20, it probably would have been in pennies, nickels, and bottle caps. I guess if you really want Hayden to pay attention to you, you’ve got to have a hole in your head . . . anyone have Kurt Kobain’s number?

Jennifer Lopez Candid Pics from Beso

Jennifer Lopez at Beso

Jennifer Lopez and her man were spotted at the upscale Beso restaurant in Los Angeles recently and the couple was looking good. Well, Marc Anthony was looking as good as he could — but that’s not necessarily a compliment.

Anyway, looks like Jennifer and Marc left the baby at home and had the night to themselves.
