Hilary Duff has been cast in the remake of Bonnie and Clyde.  Faye Dunaway played Bonnie in the original version way back in 1967.  Upon learning of the Duffster taking over her role, she replied, “Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”  Oh, and I totally added the italics for emphasis, because you know that’s how she really said it.  Big talk from a chick who appeared in Dunston Checks In.

Mommie Dearest is my all-time favorite movie.  Ever.  It appears that playing this role wasn’t such a stretch for her after all.  What a bitch, huh? And no, despite what my kids may say, I didn’t use the screenplay as my blueprint for parenting.  Well, not extensively.

If you are one of those Twilight freaks, you better find a new fix.  Stephenie Meyer has stopped working on the fifth installment in the series, Midnight Sun, after it was leaked on the internet.

Meyer wrote on her website, “I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on ‘Midnight Sun,’ so it is on hold indefinitely.”  She also posted the incomplete draft that found its way to the net so that her readers could see the transcript without feeling guilty(?).  “I’d rather my fans not read this version … the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting?”

Since she probably has writer’s block is just so devastated, she has no plans to complete the book.  Sigh.  Writers are so dramatic.

That sound you hear is the theater community heaving a collective sigh of relief.  Michael Jackson’s Broadway Thriller production might not happen.

John Landis, the director of the 1982 Thriller video, also known as Michael Jackson’s last friend, is suing him for unpaid royalties.  Landis has been a public supporter of Jackson through it all; the boys and the bleach, the lawsuits and surgical masks.  It’s been twenty-seven years though, and he wants his money.  Now, he has filed additional documents to halt development on the musical Thriller project.  He is requesting approval rights on the project; in other words, he plans to say “no” to every proposal.  Isn’t that just a kick in the pajama pants for MJ?

Here’s hoping that Landis has a top-notch legal team.

Remember that truce that Michael Lohan called for?  The one where he was going to shut the fuck up and stop trashing his daughter to the media?

Well, he’s back at it again.  To the strains of “How To Save A Life”, his newest blog begs everyone to intervene in an effort to save his daughter from the sinister Samantha Ronson.  Personally, I’d like to beg Michael Lohan to take his computer and pitch it out the nearest window.  He even has candid paparazzi pics posted of Lindsay and Ali trying on clothes in a store; a total increase in his creep factor.

Linds is going to pitch a fit when she finds out about this which will then result in Whackadaddy taking it down, so here is the text in its formatting hell entirety:

Like I said in the past, “if I see or hear of anyone or anything causing harm or is seen as a threat to my children,” I will speak about it, and do anything I can to try to intervene regardless of the repercussions on me.

With that said, after seeing promise and thanking God for Lindsay’s freedom from SaMANtha’s bondage, I see now, that since SaMANtha has once again, weaseled her way back into Lindsay”s life, things have taken a dark turn.

While I was enthused that Ali was with Lindsay, rather than SaMANtha, I am torn to see that SaMANtha has once again manipulated Lindsay into leaving her little sister in LA, only to join SaMANtha on another DJ gig in Boston.

Was this again, a means for SaMANtha to earn more money through Lindsay”s presence? Did SaMANtha’s fee drop so much and so quickly when word got out that they parted ways? Are we so blind? Is Lindsay so blind? I know Dina and my kids aren’t because they tell me so. But then again, why does Dina tell me one thing and do another?!

When a mother or father sees their child in turmoil (losing weight, not working, and purportedly cutting herself) are we supposed to stand by , remain silent and pretend it isn’t happening? Or are we suppose to step to the plate and not care what people think, and do something about it?

Well, as you can see, I’m not going to sit back and let it slide.

I am asking everyone out their to intervene in every way possible to help Lindsay, and quite possibly, save her life. Help this wonderful, good hearted and gifted young lady to see what SaMANtha is doing to her and how she is destroying her life.

Help her to see that ever since SaMANtha came into her life, nothing good has come of it. As a matter of fact, Lindsay hasn’t used her gifts like she did before meeting SaMANtha.

Just LOOK! The proof is there! These aren’t just words, but FACTS! PLEASE HELP!

Awww, I really feel for NPH, because I am always having to pee at the most inopportune times, but this story really had me cracking up:

At last night’s fan event for How I Met Your Mother at the TV Academy in North Hollywood, NPH made a dash for the bathroom in the middle of the panel discussion (proving even his two preggo costars, Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders, are better at holding it).

Bad luck for Neil though, since Jason Segel remembered his buddy still had his mic on. Over the crowd’s laughter, we fans could hear that Neil took a tip from Jack Donaghy and gave himself a little pep talk, saying, “Wake up!” before a publicist bolted in to tell him he was not alone.

Onstage, Segel exclaimed, “This never happens in real life!” to which Josh Radnor replied, “It’s like an episode of 30 Rock.”

Why was he telling his penis to wake up?

Isn’t that what you do when you’re trying to have sex, not pee?

There is clearly something about the male urination process that I don’t quite understand.

Here’s a taste of what we can expect from Kelly’s new vid. The whole thing leaked on the Internets Tuesday, but was quickly pulled.

This clip aired during tonight’s Salt Lake City auditions of AmIdol.

Thoughts?
