I never saw the original Short Circuitbut I’ve definitely seen clips with a coked-out Ally Sheedy, a young Steve Guttenburg — where is he now? — and some demonic looking contraption that I think was supposed to be a robot. I read the synopsis of Short Circuit — basically a robot that gets struck by lightning and then has human qualities. Isn’t the movie Powder the same basic plot, but in reverse?
Now, they are remaking the 1986 classic. According to Variety, it will be the same basic plot but with obvious changes of technology. What? You mean they won’t have the main characters observing Johnny 5 on a computer the size of an African elephant?
I’ll admit right now that I am an embarrassment to my profession. I have been completely unaware of this god, better known to the public as Bradley Cooper. And only a dude this hot could get away with a name like “Bradley.”
He’s been on Nip/Tuck and was in Wedding Crashers and a bunch of other stuff, but to be honest, I’m not as interested in his resume as I am in his naked and vulnerable body. Totally hot, right?
Cooper taped an appearance on Live! With Regis & Kelly today, probably to talk about some new project — who cares? — but really seems best known for dating Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston. Oh, and he had a four-month-long marriage in there somewhere too.
Also in the gallery, Kelly Ripa actually does eat which just makes me hate yet love her more, Denise Richards looks good despite the fact that she just confessed to having not one, not two, but three boob jobs and Gene Simmons desperately needs a makeover to snap out of Wayne Newton mode.
Nothing has made me happier today and nothing ever could. Not even if the unfortunate and sudden death of Mischa Barton occurred. Not even if Julia Roberts lips got caught in a turbine engine. Nothing.
Actor James Franco was scheduled to be the commencement speaker at UCLA’s Letters and Science graduation ceremony on June 12th. Now, if you don’t have a calendar near you, let me inform you that the 12th is one week from this upcoming Saturday — nine days. And Franco has cancelled his appearance.
The actor is pleading pre-production obligations. “I deeply regret not being able to keep my commitment to giving the commencement speech at UCLA’s graduation this year. Unfortunately the date conflicts with me needing to be on location to begin pre-production on my next film. I wish everyone in the 2009 class the best of luck in all of their future endeavors.” Really? Actors aren’t clued in about schedules ahead of time?
Personally, I think he’s just not that into UCLA. Back in the nineties, Franco attended the university for a year before dropping out (He did return later and complete his degree).
UCLA is scrambling for a replacement. I was thinking of this gal who just happens to be an alumna of their grad school– what say you?
In a move that proves money doesn’t necessarily equate to power, Angelina Jolie has bumped Oprah Can Someone Please Pass The Mashed? Winfrey out of the number one slot on Forbes’ Celebrity Top 100 Most Powerful list.
Rankings are based not just on income but also on visibility. In other words, Oprah needs to be in Playboy this year if she expects to waddle her way back to the top. I’m not sure how serious a Top 100 Anything list can be considered when Jennifer Love Hewitt makes the cut, but it’s still wildly amusing to think of Oprah doing a centerfold spread.
After Angie and O, Madonna, Beyonce, Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen, Stephen Spielberg, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, and Kobe Bryant filled out the top ten.
Britney Spears just put up video of her sons Sean and Jayden doing a little dress rehearsal during a break on her London tour.
If they are able to inherit their parent’s talent and are able to avoid the love of pink wigs, leeching off spouses and the general crazy gene, they can go so far.
David Carradine’s manager has confirmed to Fox News that the 73 year-old Kung Fu actor has died.
Carradine was in Bangkok filming a movie. When he didn’t arrive at a scheduled dinner, a producer went to his room where the actor was found dead. Though not confirmed, it is believed he died of natural causes.
UPDATE: Some media outlets are reporting that the cause of death was suicide.
Thoughts and prayers to the entire Carradine family.
