Lopez and Anthony Buy Home
South Beach, here they come!
Superstar couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are buying their first marital home together, in South Beach, Florida.
The New York natives, who wed in June after a whirlwind four-month courtship, own a variety of houses in California, New York and Florida between them, but have yet to buy a residence together.
But gossip website Pagesix.Com reports the Latina beauty is finalizing their purchase of a $9.9 million penthouse apartment in the fashionable new Icon Building, featuring interiors by French designer Phillippe Starck. Lopez and Anthony will be able to see views of South Beach from their huge balcony and swim in their own private pool.

I love J'lo but...
I dunno if I believe this "love story".
I'll believe it till I see it.
I think it's a waste of $ if they are going to divorce in a year.

Cheap Drugs in Britain
Cocaine
now costs less than a coffee as cheap drugs flood Britain, says a survey.
A line of the deadly Class A drug costs just £1.95 — 20 per cent less than it did ten years ago.
Prices of ecstasy, crack, heroin and cannabis have also plummeted to record lows, encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to become users.
--Isn't that special?

Paris Squared
Paris Hilton, 23,
has been spending time with a new young man... called Paris.
Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis (whose Dad, Spiro, has about $5 billion) spent the end of the year with Hilton in the Swiss resort of Gstaad.
Latis, 25, was a frequent visitor to her suite at the luxury Palace Hotel and, according to my spy, "They were everywhere together." Other snoops say the relationship has been going on for about three weeks.
--Math Lesson: Paris x Paris = Gross.

Samuel L. Says "No Way"
Samuel L. Jackson puts the smackdown on 50 Cent:
Hollywood actor Samuel L Jackson has turned down a role in Irish director Jim Sheridan's new flick because 50 Cent was already in the cast.
Sam, 56, is so precious he won't work with "unproved" actors - even though he has no qualms about starring in TV ads.
He said: "Hollywood people think because one is successful in one aspect of entertainment, they can bring them into this particular world and make a success out of them. These people think they are worthy of you sharing time on screen with them. I don't particularly think that. Maybe if 50 Cent does five movies and shows me some talent..."

I remember Samuel L. Jackson making similar statements a few years ago when DMX was starting to get movie roles. He was mad about musicians with no acting training getting roles that should go to actors who worked on the craft.
Normally, I'd probably think that's an arrogant statement, but I've read enough about SLJ to know he prepares like a big dog for his roles.

Wow how arrogant is that?

I like it. I feel the same way. But I've been over this argument time and time again . . .
Posted by: Iceman at January 10, 2005 10:18 AM (Kohcy)

See, I don't think SLJ's being arrogant. Well, at least I think he's earned the right to say what he said. He's a guy who takes acting pretty seriously and it clearly bothers him when unproven people get big roles. I think that's why he refuses to work with 50 Cent.
Either that or he just doesn't want to catch a stray bullet. :-)

He won't work with "unproved" actors...present company excluded, I assume?
Sheesh.

I think he just meant all these crossovers from the music industry or those like Paris Hilton who can just pick up a phone and tell their agent to put them in a movie.
Posted by: Iceman at January 10, 2005 04:22 PM (Kohcy)

Well... I have 2 feelings on this...
1. "What a SNOB!!! Who does he think he is?! He's good but.... NOT THAT good... sheesh!" I like Samuel don't get me wrong... but this kinda attitude stinks!
2. Can't blame him either... I really do believe 50 Cents has to prove himself as an actor...
Eh! I dunno... there is no good side or bad side to this story...

Organisers said flames appeared from the engine compartment of Newman's car when he tried to restart the engine after going into a spin on a turn.

I was suprised when I read this the other day. I can't beleive he is still driving race cars at his age. I have noticed he has started to look his age lately, which up until a few years ago was not the case. He still looks pretty damn good for 80, but the eternally young look is gone.

Sports Stars Unite
Quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger, who will win Rookie of the Year Award for helping the Pittsburgh Steelers to the best record in the NFL, is dating 5-foot-9 blonde
Natalie Gulbism, known as "the Anna Kournikova of golf."
The Las Vegas Review Journal reported this week that Ben's teammates taped her photo on his locker about five weeks ago. "He got up his nerve, called her, and sparks started flying," Norm Clarke reported. Gublis' publicist confirmed to ESPN that she plans to visit the 6-foot-5 bachelor this week from her home in Las Vegas.

Broadway Update
Here's your Broadway update:
--Harry Connick Jr., the crooning heartthrob and jazz stylist, will star next season in a Broadway revival of "The Pajama Game," one of the musical theater's biggest hits of the 1950s.
Connick will play the role originated in 1954 by John Raitt, according to Jeffrey Richards, a co-producer of the revival. Richards called Connick "an actor of enormous charisma and skill, a wonderful singer and a bona fide star."
--Idina Menzel, the Tony-winning star of "Wicked," fell through a trap door during the Saturday matinee of the Broadway musical and cracked a lower rib.
The show, a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," was halted for about 45 minutes while Menzel's understudy, Shoshana Bean, prepared to go on as the green-skinned Elphaba, according to Bob Fennell, a spokesman for the musical

Have you seen him on Will and Grace? He took a show that was already on the downslide and made it even worse through his wooden, horrible acting.
I thought he was good in "Copycat," but that was what,a decade ago? It's been a steep descent since then. Pajama Game does have an Adler and Ross score, so it shouldn't be that difficult to sing. It's the acting I am worried about.
But hey, who thought Antonio Banderas could handle "Nine?"
BTW, Sunday was supposed to be Menzel's last time in the show, so I imagine those who purchased tickets for that final performance were pissed off more than usual.

3 More Years
MTV
has renewed "
The Real World" for five more seasons, which means the reality show will stay on the air until at least 2008.
However, the spin-off "Road Rules" might be hitting the road. MTV confirmed that no decision has been made on its renewal, although the music network has ordered two more seasons of "The Real World/Road Rules Challenge."

Spacey News
It looks like
Kevin Spacey will take on one of the world's biggest superheroes on the big-screen soon.
The actor, who currently portrays Bobby Darin in the biopic Beyond the Sea, is reportedly set to play Superman's arch rival, Lex Luthor, in the upcoming movie for Warner Bros. Pictures. The project could reunite Spacey with one of his current co-stars, Kate Bosworth. Bosworth, who plays Sandra Dee in Beyond the Sea, is reportedly in negotiations for the part of Superman's famous love interest, Lois Lane. The movie is expected to begin filming in March.

Gere's an Idiot
Many Palestinian voters, already struggling with the labyrinthine politics of the West Bank and Gaza, say
they have never heard of Richard Gere who has been recruited to urge them to vote in elections this weekend.
Well known for his vocal support of Tibet's Dalai Lama and celebrated for his captivating good looks, Gere urged Palestinians in a television commercial broadcast ahead of Sunday's poll in the West Bank and Gaza to get out to vote for a new president to succeed Yasser Arafat, who died in November.
"Hi, I'm Richard Gere and I'm speaking for the entire world. We're with you during this election time. It's really important. Get out and vote," Gere said in the advertisement. He repeated the final phrase in Arabic.
"I don't even know who the candidates are other than Mahmoud Abbas, let alone this Gere," Gaza soap factory worker Manar An Najar told Reuters.
--Seriously. Gere should shut his damn trap. "I'm speaking for the entire world." Are you kidding me? What an ego.

Fans of Oukast's
Andre 3000 should look for the hip-hop artist on the big screen soon. He recently signed on to team up with actor
Mark Wahlberg for a Paramount Pictures project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The two will star in a still-untitled drama about a group of brothers seeking revenge for their mother's death. Production is expected to begin Monday in Toronto. Andre 3000 also appears in the upcoming MGM movie 'Be Cool' and will star in an HBO feature about OutKast.

Politics and Hollywood
When the Bush Administration and Hollywood meet:
Homeland Security head Tom Ridge said Thursday that Cat Stevens, aka Yusuf Islam, remains on a U.S. no-fly list, five months after the "Peace Train" singer was denied entry to the U.S. "The reasons we rejected him several months ago still exist in my mind," said Ridge.
Julia Roberts bought 32 acres of New Mexico land from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, according to People magazine. The new mom apparently needs more room for her twins at her 80-acre spread in Taos.

Celebrity Justice
Pop star
Jessica Simpson is suing a California jeweler for illegally using her image in ads.
The singer-turned-reality TV star insists she never gave bosses of Inspired Silver permission to use her image in internet commercials - and was upset when she saw the ads. A spokeswoman for Simpson says, "Ms. Simpson is concerned about the widespread misappropriation of her name and likeness for use in connection with the unauthorized sale of costume jewelry and other merchandise.
Through her attorneys, she is taking steps to remove this unauthorized merchandise from the marketplace. The lawsuit against Inspired Silver is part of an ongoing process in this regard."

Between Johnny Carson (I LOVED that case) and the Vanna White case I figure she'll win, especially if she's using California law.

Perhaps one should ask the expert here . . .
I'll gladly take her case.
