--Matthew McConaughey will replace Owen Wilson in the film comedy Tropic Thunder, Variety reports. Wilson, 38, dropped out of the Ben Stiller-directed movie after he was hospitalized for what police called a suicide attempt last month. The role being taken by McConaughey, 37, is essentially a cameo in an ensemble cast that includes Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. and Nick Nolte. The movie is a comedy about a group of actors shooting a war movie on a deserted island that comes under real attack.
--Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are selling their luxury Nashville, Tennessee home. The Hollywood couple have put their four-bedroom mansion up for sale, with a listing price of $2.5 million. A pal of the pair tells New York gossip column PageSix, "It was Keith's house - they probably just want to find a home that is theirs." The 7,000-square-foot home boasts a gym, pool and spa.
--And, they haven't missed a beat. Here's the first Big-Carrie picture from the set of the Sex and the City movie. I can hardly contain myself.
--Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado are the worst behaved diners in showbiz, according to celebrity restaurateur Guy Rubino. Rubino claims Timberlake insisted on ordering off the menu and Furtado acted like a diva during visits to his Toronto, Canada eaterie Rain. The chef tells The New York Daily News, "Timberlake comes into Rain, doesn't even look at the menu and shouts for random food that we don't make. If he knew what he wanted, why come to an Asian restaurant in the first place? (Furtado) made a reservation for 10 guests. She showed up an hour late with five extra people in tow. For parties that size, we do a prix-fixe type of menu. Nelly objected and was really rude about it. She expected individual dishes to be prepared. Her manager even came into the kitchen and had the gall to say, 'Just f**king do it! I told her that she and her client could just f**king leave." In contrast, Rubino claims Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were the best guests: "They're very polite. Every time they come in, they pop into the kitchen to say hello. I just love them."
--Quentin Tarantino is getting ready to switch to sex from violence. The quirky director, a devotee of '70s European nudie flicks, says he wants to make "a cool sex movie that would take place in Stockholm, with a couple of Americans visiting a couple of Swedish friends . . . just going out drinking, having a good time, hooking up." But, he tells London's Daily Telegraph, "If I actually do an erotic movie, I'm going to have to reveal what I find sexy, what turns me on . . . It's got to be kind of kinky, because that's what's cinematic, that's what's fun. Everything else is just - shagging."
--There will be more than 100 candles to blow out when the Plaza Hotel hits the century mark. The Oct. 1 celebration will include a pyrotechnic performance by the Grucci fireworks family featuring a cascade of thousands of flaming white lights that will turn the landmark into a huge birthday cake. At that point, Paul Anka will sing "Happy Birthday" in Grand Army Plaza. "This isn't about the reopening of the building," said a Plaza rep, referring to the ongoing gut renovation. "It's all about the 100th birthday celebration."
--Nick Carter: Backstreet's fat, alright!
--Mick Jagger has a reputation for being tight with a dollar, but he was a generous host Saturday night in Boston. The Rolling Stone - co-producer of "The Women," a remake of the 1939 George Cukor classic - threw a boisterous dinner party at Clink in the old Charles Street Jail, which has been converted into the Liberty Hotel. Jagger, who was with his girlfriend L'Wren Scott, toasted Meg Ryan and Eva Mendes and every other actress in the all-female flick. Debra Messing skipped the bash for the Emmys while Annette Bening chose the Yankees-Red Sox game. (His girlfriend is named L'Wren? Oh, I'm so going w/ that spelling. I mean, who really needs the "a" anyway?)
--I think she's hiding Osama in there.
Random Thought of the Day:
I stayed at an awesome hotel last weekend in Chicago. It's called The James. It's on Ontario, and only a couple blocks west of Michigan Ave. It was the best of both worlds: W style and savvy, with Drake customer service. I got a "Welcome back, Ms. Mills" when I'd return. I had mentioned on the phone that I was there for a bachelorette party, and they asked what I had planned. When I arrived, there was an envelope waiting for me that included: a confirmation of the reservations I made for dinner at Carnivale , front of the line privileges and waived cover at Martini Park (a hot, new martini bar), and maps to all of those places. The hotel room bathrooms were stocked with Kiehl's products! Can't beat that! The hotel also housed a new steakhouse that's getting rave reviews and a hot bar called J Bar, that turns more club-like in the evening. I'd HIGHLY recommend this place!)
