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.

John Mayer goes on insane offense against Jennifer Aniston break-up rumors

John Mayer decided to unleash a fury of words on some photographers following him around Saturday in New York. He’s tired of rumors that he cheated on Jennifer Aniston and/or didn’t want to impregnate her no matter how many times she threatened to “nipple his goddamn eyes out.” You might not see those exact words down below, but I’m 90% sure they’re what John Mayer really meant.. Us Magazine reports:

“If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody. Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth. Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met. She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m going through something that’s a very personal thing and you have to give that up. You have to give everything up because you can’t have it all and it sucks.
“I’m sorry that the story’s not interesting, but it’s about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she’s great.”
Mayer reflected on the situation as “the most normal thing in the world – There’s no lying, there’s no cheating. There’s no nothing.

John Mayer then flipped out on a reporter who asked if he was currently seeing anyone else:

“Why are you asking me that question? I’m being as honest as I can possibly can be,” he responded. “I ended a relationship because there is no lying. I ended a relationship to be alone because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right. I don’t waste people’s time.
“I don’t do ‘the taper,’” he continued. “I guarantee you [that] 20 percent of the people on this street right now who are in a relationship wish they could get out but they don’t know how. And I’m going to be honest on the way in to my relationships and I’m going to be honest on the way out of my relationships.”

Jesus, John Mayer, the guy was just asking a follow-up question. It’s sort of his job. Flipping out on him is like someone interrupting a show to ask why you’re singing songs that make them want to shove a flaming torch in their ear. We all got bills to pay. Now, if you’ll excuse me, my penis isn’t going to make jokes about itself.

Katie Holmes: Is she pregnant? Let’s speculate FOREVER

It seems like you can’t run a celebrity website laced with Herculean commentary these days without running into rumors that Katie Holmes is pregnant as several sources claim these pictures prove. If not wearing a bra and trying to cut more glass than Jennifer Aniston in Antarctica constitutes being with child, then yes, Katie Holmes is knocked up. Otherwise, for God’s sake, please just leave the woman alone so Tom Cruise can finally install her penis, and then we’ve got a story.

The Hotel Bondi Swim Show is a cornucopia of bikini

These are shots of bikini models at the Hotel Bondi 08/09 Swim Show taking place in Sydney, Australia. What’s this got to do with anything? Bikini. Do I even know any of these girls’ names? Not even one. Are they of age? Uhhh, sure! Do I deserve a Pulitzer for this? Yes, all of them. How slow of a news day is it? It was either these or more “Katie Holmes is pregnant” speculation. Damn, I chose wisely! I know.

John Mayer Clears The Air

After working out at the Equinox Gym in New York, John Mayer chatted briefly with reporters about his break-up from Jennifer Aniston. The singer, who appeared nervous and emotional during the conversation said, “There’s no lying, there’s no cheating, there’s no nothing.”

He sang Jennifer’s praises and summarized the reason for the split by saying, “I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.”

Ouch. So he totally admitted that he’s the one who ended things. Nice going, John. Meanwhile, here’s John trying to fight off the blues by spending some time out with his brother and friends.

Suri Cruise Stumbles Out Of Nobu

Tiny mind-controller Suri Cruise decided that she wanted parental units Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to meet up with Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor for dinner. I’m not sure why Suri was so hell bent on meeting up with them, but I don’t question her ways.

Suri spent the night ordering the most expensive items on the menu and stiffed Ben Stiller for the bill when she drunkenly demanded that her mother carry her home, since she was too intoxicated to drive herself.

That little girl is out of control and fabulous. Plus, she’s a snazzy dresser.

New York Is Alive With Clive


Man Clive Owen just oozes cool. He definitely has the look and voice that makes him one of the coolest leading man working in film today.

Check him out yesterday on the set of the thriller Duplicity in New York City, looking tougher than nails in a grey suit and aviator shades.

The film reunites Clive with actress Julia Roberts who he co-starred with on the film, Closer. Now one of my biggest problems with Closer was Julia Roberts and her awkward chemistry with Owen and Jude Law. I hope, that this awkward chemistry does not plague Duplicity as well.

Their new film, tells the story of pair of corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) who share a steamy past
hook up to pull off the ultimate con job on their respective bosses.

Are you excited to see Owen & Roberts reunited once again or is that dead horse very, very, beaten?

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!
