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.

Jessica Simpson should probably stop performing in public

Jessica Simpson gave another shitass performance in her continuing effort to crossover to country which must be frustrating. I mean, she’s proven she’s illiterate and joined the Klan. What more do these people want?! Anyway, here’s the highlights of her Wednesday night concert at the Avalon Ballroom where Jessica gave long-winded intros to every song forcing The Niagara Falls Review to comment “It might be unfair calling Jessica Simpson’s show at the Avalon Ballroom Wednesday a train wreck. At some point, a train knows where it’s going.”:

On how her man must be ready for anything that comes out of her uterus:
Before the new song “Man Enough,” she said her man must be ready for anything - including the possibility she’s pregnant with an alien.

On Nick Lachey:
Ex-hubby Nick Lachey gets grilled in the bitter “When I Loved You Like That,” where our girl basically says she carried his cheatin’ ass all those years.

On the smell of her farts; I’m not kidding:
“I do pass gas a lot,” she said. “I guarantee it smells like roses.”

A public admission that your ass doesn’t stink despite chronic flatulence. Now that’s classy. I bet you an old man in a top hat put a monocle up to his eye and said “Jolly good show!” That’s how classy it was. Bravo!

Keeley Hazell Topless Pictures Go For Gold

We love Keeley Hazell, and we especially love Keeley Hazell topless, which is kind of her default setting, but that’s why we love her. Well, it turns out that Keeley loves the Olympics, or at least I think that’s…

Avril Lavigne ‘too sexy’ to perform in Malaysia?

0819_avril_lavigne_etalk_00.JPG

Somebody thinks Avril Lavigne is not only sexy, but “too sexy.” Really? Vampire Girl? She was set to perform in Malaysia but officials for the country think Avril’s sugary pop music is a bad influence, according to OK! Magazine:

“It is not timely. It’s not in the good spirit of our National Day. If we go ahead with the concert, it is contrary to what we are preparing for,” said Shukran Ibrahim, a senior official from the ministry.
“We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models,” said Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party youth official.

Has anyone ever seen an Avril Lavigne concert? It’s pretty much the equivalent of watching somebody have a seizure - but with lasers, and it cost you a hundred bucks. Whee.

Fergie used to date Justin Timberlake?

Fergie used to date Justin Timberlake

I don’t know why I’d never heard of this but I guess Fergie used to date Justin Timberlake way back in the day. Like when he was still a teenager. In a really old article that’s new to me because I never read it, Fergie revealed:

“I almost didn’t go out with him because he was so young, but he was always trying to convince me he was so mature. And he was. It’s true. My friends made fun of me and gave me the nickname Stella, from the movie How Stella Got Her Grove Back, about a woman who dates this younger guy. But one of the reasons we got along was because we both loved hip-hop and used to talk about the Black Eyed Peas and how amazing they were.” (Source)

Awwww, that’s cute. Too bad I wasn’t Fergie’s friend back when she was dating Justin. I would have given her a way catchier nickname: child rapist.

Jared Leto Sued By Record Label

I keep forgetting this kid has a band. Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds to Mars are being sued by Virgin Records for failing to deliver the five albums they promised to finish in their deal with the label. Apparently, they only made two.

These are some high-class problems these guys have. I bet there are a ton of struggling artists who would give their teeth to be in the situation of having to produce three more records.

Or is this some tactic of them trying to get out of their deal because they’ve been so wildly successful with the first two? I don’t understand mopey boys who wear eyeliner, meaning I will never understand Jared Leto.

Check out all the photos of Jared Leto in the gallery!

Chowing With Christina Milian


On Thursday we spotted R&B singer Christina Milian having a bite to eat with her mom at a restaurant at the Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood.

I think Christina’s chewing was a little loud because her mom was covering her ears while trying to make phone call!

As the cute singer let she was all smiles for our photogs… We love you too Christina! Now if only everyone were so friendly!

Fergie Has A Messy Closet Full of Costumes

Fergie was an attendee at the 2007 MuchMusic VideoImage via Wikipedia

Soon-to-be prostitute Fergie likes to keep her fiance Josh Duhamel happy. Since the couple aren’t long distance she doesn’t have to do webcam stripteases ala Jessica Simpson, which gives her a lot more freedom when it comes to the bedroom.

According to a source, Fergie uses a variety of sexy costumes to keep Josh’s attention including those of a a police officer, a dominatrix, and a nurse.

When Fergie came out in a french maid costume, Josh joked, “Oh, good, you’re finally gonna clean your closet!”

The source said, “Fergie could not stop laughing. She says not taking themselves too seriously is the key to their relationship — and the fact that they can’t keep their hands off each other doesn’t hurt either!”

Aubrey O’Day is a lesbian now? Okay, sure

Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day got her make-out on last night with publishing heiress Lydia Hearst outside of Club Butter in New York. I guess Aubrey realized she better hop on the lesbian bandwagon while the fire-crotch is hot. I should really send Lindsay Lohan a fruit basket for this latest trend, but until then, THANK YOU!
