Juliette Lewis: Rock 'n' Roll Birdie From Outer Space

Posted on October 5, 2009 at 03:18 PM

Words: Kendah El-Ali

Photos: Jos de Krieger

Wearing striped, sequenced knickers, feathers and a tulle tail, Juliette Lewis looks a rock 'n' roll birdie from outer space. All the leaping about, screaming and red-purple makeup just adds to the effect. But that's the reason why we love her. Few creative minds can say they've played rolls that have ranged from little girl to half-retarded psycho killer, but beyond an acting talent that has garnered her both an Oscar and Emmy nomination, the girl can rock a stage, too.

Written by Diablo Cody, who was at the Fuse studios recently, Cody is the mastermind behind the much beloved indie flick, Juno, starring Ellen Page and Michael Cera.

Almost Paradise

Posted on October 29, 2008 at 08:41 AM

Doveman_footloose_cover

If you'll recall, Steven Page, frontman for quirky Canuck popsters Barenaked Ladies, had an eventful July, during which he was charged with drug possession after New York State coppers found Page, his girlfriend, and her roommate snorting cocaine with a rolled-up Canadian bill (which is either an insult to Canada, or cocaine). Well, the judgement and sentencing have come down! The verdict? Guilty. The punishment? Eh (get it?), just some substance abuse treatment. As long as he literally gets with the program and, you know, keeps his nose clean for six months, he'll be able to prance about the stage and across the border like any other law-abiding barenaked lady.

Footloose, the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon as a high schooler who moves to an Arkansas town where dancing is banned, is a classic. So why not ~~tarnish its reputation~~ recreate it for a new generation? Paramount plans on paying Zac Efron millions to play the Bacon role. All of which provides more than enough reason to once again point you in the direction of Doveman's hushed and beautiful song for song cover of the entire Footloose soundtrack.

New York's own Ryan Adams played a last-minute surprise show at a tiny bistro in New York's own Soho yesterday. BrooklynVegan was there. So was the Music Slut. And so was Ryan Adams.

Honey Don't

Posted on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 AM

Rssimp

Radiohead have finally unveiled a bit of info on the whole pay-what-you-want In Rainbows experiment. Their management still won't reveal exact numbers, but say that the download money was more than the total sales for 2003's Hail To the Thief. That was BEFORE the album was physically released (and subsequently went to Number 1 in the US and the UK). Also, the band was apparetly monitoring the download/money numbers and were prepared to pull the plug.

Post-colonial grad-rockers Vampire Weekend has written material for a new album and will begin recording in November. According to frontman Ezra Koenig, the new tunes will feature "a lot more instruments." Makes sense, now that they can afford more instruments.

According to UK tabloid The Sun, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing, for real this time, we mean it, very, very soon. Clashes over career commitments and Madonna's desire to adopt another child are reportedly behind the split. It IS the Sun, however, so take it with a grain of salt.

Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr, famously depicted in a Simpsons episode answering every piece of fan mail he receives, will no longer accept fan mail. Presumably because there's just too much of it. Which is fine. Let Ringo relax.

Chrissie Hynde: Thumbs Up, Candace Bushnell: Thumbs Down

Posted on September 18, 2008 at 02:05 PM

Normally, we keep things fairly music-oriented around here, but is this not completely lame? Sex and the City person Candace Bushnell is writing two teen novels about Carrie Bradshaw's formative years. As Carrie would write, Candace is going back to the well, a well that can be found at the corner of 59th Street and Milking It Avenue. Seriously Candace, stop it. Just stop milking it and just... stop. </rant>

Barack Obama's campaign has turned down Lindsay Lohan's offer to help with any public appearances and stumping they might need. The move risks alienating the youth drunk driver demographic.

And on the other side, Ted Nugent, guitarist, rocker, average to below average songwriter (especially following the Amboy Dukes years), right wing activist, George W. Bush buddy and avid hunter and fisherman, wrote a letter of support to Sarah Palin.

Yes, there is a rock god: The Pretenders will be releasing their first album in six years this fall.

Cheech and Chong: Quantum of Something

Posted on July 31, 2008 at 08:44 AM

For the first time ever, a James Bond theme will be a duet - Alicia Keys and the White Stripes' Jack White have recorded Another Way To Die, a White song that will be the theme to the upcoming 007 flick Quantum of Solace, due in November. Given the fiercely independent nature of the artists involved, it's not surprising that the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Keys wasn't very happy with production ideas, as well as the song itself. Still, the hubbub could have been louder if the theme spot had, as initially rumored, gone to a different artist - Amy Winehouse.

Huge Popular Band The Killers will release their third album in November. No exact release date, no track listing, no album title; just the sneaking suspicion that Brandon Flowers will sing as if someone stuck his big toe into an electrical socket.

Noted potheads Cheech and Chong are reforming for a US tour more than twenty years after they acrimoniously split, according to the BBC. Being a BBC article, the word "pothead" is in quotes. The tour is surprising considering that Cheech Marin swore off the Cheech and Chong ouvre after becoming somewhat of a legitimate actor on somewhat legitimate shows such as Nash Bridges.

Happy, Juno Supporters?

Posted on February 25, 2008 at 11:23 AM

Maybe the writers should have stayed on strike. Last night's 80th Annual Academy Awards were quite the bore, though a few talking points were still delivered. Euros scored all of the acting awards, Owen Wilson showed up and spoke (very straight, scripted patter) and the look on P.T. Anderson's non-Best Director winning face was priceless, but really, the best moment of the night was Glen Hansard (of the Frames) and Marketa Irglova winning Best Original Song. Following Hansard's short acceptance speech, the orchestra began to play music, ushering Irglova before she was able to speak. Happily, host Jon Stewart brought her back out following a commercial and she gave her speech, urging independent musicians and artists to follow their dreams. The best Oscar moment in years. Not so best? Diablo Cody winning Best Original Screenplay for a Juno script that features a stupendously stupid exchange about a hamburger telephone. Juno: a cute little The N-type film but COME. ON. Check YouTubery of Glen and Marketa's performance of Falling Slowly, and then of the acceptance speeches:

Go Directly To Jail

Posted on February 21, 2008 at 11:28 AM

In one of the more lame moves to recently come out of Hollywood (and Burbank, and Culver City) Universal and game manufacturer Hasbro have announced a new "strategic partnership" to create at least four films from current Hasbro games. First up? A movie based on Monopoly, directied by Ridley Scott. Yes, the Blade Runner Ridley Scott. Perhaps we find out that Rich Uncle Pennybags is a replicant? Or that Hollywood thinks we'll drop money on anything?

Other possible flicks include Ouija, Stretch Armstrong, a possible new Clue and Battleship. Hopefully not directed by Michael Bay.

Ultimate Cobain Moving Coming?

Posted on January 15, 2008 at 10:00 AM

It will be if Courtney Love has anything to do with it. According to reports, Love has approached Scarlett Johansson to play Love in the film of Heavier Than Heaven, a Cobain biography written with Love's cooperation. Love needed to find an actress who could convey Love's half of this complicated relationship, all while having similar looks to Love. Since no one fit that description, they're chasing the uber-hot Johansson. Ryan Gosling is apparently in to play Cobain. From The Mirror:

A close friend says: "Kirsten Dunst was rumoured to be in the frame, but Courtney really admires Scarlett and has already sent the contract out for her to sign. Courtney even copied Scarlett's sleek blonde movie look when she was in London for the Fashion Rocks party last year.

"This is a labour of love for Courtney and she is putting her heart and soul into making it an accurate, credible glimpse of her life with Kurt."

And Courtney has also lined up Oscar-nominated Ryan Gosling to play husband Kurt.

Her friend adds: "She wants the best actors to portray them - she will be on set all the time giving Scarlett and Ryan advice on what it was like being one part of the most notorious couples since Sid and Nancy. It will be explosive."

Manhattan Bashed Again, This Time By Cloverfield

Posted on January 7, 2008 at 10:19 AM

Over the years New York City has been attacked and knocked around like no other city; giant lizards, dystopian prisons, nuclear annihilation, freak weather occurrences, and Sex & the City tourists. Next in line to level NYC is Cloverfield, a flick coming out on January 18th with a still-secret monster protagonist. The sheer amount of bombardment is too much for one Manhattan bar-goer, who left the following social commentary in the bathroom of East Village tavern 2A over the weekend. Below, the affected poster. Hollywood: LEAVE US ALONE.

Shocker: Lindsay Lohan Hot

Posted on May 16, 2007 at 09:49 AM

Lists. Everybody makes them. Lists are bullet-pointed, A.D.D.-sensitive content acting as a balm for stress-addled minds. No one thinks they're important, but we all love them. And generally, they're accompanied by lots of photos. And when the list concerned is of Maxim's Hot 100, the more pics, the better. In a move that will shock no one, and yet is still worthy of our attention, Maxim has placed Lindsay Lohan atop its annual Hot 100 list. The actress/partier tops a rundown filled with the usual suspects, including Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel, and not so usual suspects, like Christina Aguilera (she's got pipes, but here she's up against some heavy hitters). One of the Olsen twins made it (Ashley, the hot, non-sickly one) made it, one did not.

Lindsay rules.

According to Maxim magazine, at least this month, she’s the hottest woman in the world.

The “Georgia Rule” actress-troublemaker tops the magazine’s eighth annual “Hot 100” list, a ranking by editors weighing buzz and beauty for women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion.

“There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay,” said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. “Her every move is watched and reported on.”

Not surprisingly, Jellinek described his young, male readership as being “obsessed” with the 20-year-old Lohan, a ubiquitous party girl who spent the weekend soaking up the sun (with a new boyfriend) in the Bahamas.

Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She’s followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl.

Celebrity sisters Ashlee and Jessica Simpson are on the list at No. 16 and 41, respectively. Ashley Olsen, half of the mogul acting twins, placed 37th, while sister Mary-Kate didn’t make the cut.

Reminder: Lindsay Lohan Is Not Yet 21

Posted on May 3, 2007 at 09:25 AM

Break out the guyliner and toss those old DVDs of The Parent Trap: the bender to end all benders is coming. Appearing on Ellen Wednesday, Lindsay Lohan revealed that her 21st birthday celebrations will take place in Las Vegas (as well as a dinner in Malibu, but who cares about that) and has been, according to Lindsay, a long time coming. Yikes. You can practically feel the party machine already sputtering to alcohol fuel-choked life. Oh, and she has a new film with Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda blah blah blah.

Lindsay Lohan won’t be satisfied with a cake and some candles when she turns 21.

The raspy-voiced actress, who celebrates her big birthday on July 2, said Wednesday on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that she plans to “milk it” when she becomes old enough to legally go to clubs.

Lohan said turning 21 has “been a long time coming” for her friends who own clubs in Los Angeles. After she’s legal, “they don’t have to worry about getting into trouble,” for letting her inside, she told host Ellen DeGeneres.

She’ll celebrate by partying in Vegas, she said, and also with a dinner in Malibu, Calif., with family and friends.

Lohan, who stars opposite Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda in the upcoming Universal Pictures film “Georgia Rule,” also showed off a white tattoo of the word “breathe” on the inside of her wrist.

No Pay Rent

If you haven't already happened upon this particular piece of comic genius during your travels across the Interweb, pause for a moment, then, to watch some Will Ferrell hilarity. The two minute video stars Ferrell, co-writer and friend Adam McKay, and McKay's two year-old daughter Pearl as a landlord. Sadly, McKay has drawn fire from some for having his toddler recite such verbal darts as b*tch and a**hole. These people need to chill, yo. The reason for making this video, btw? Just to make something funny. Novel concept. Watch YouTube below or check a cleaner version on their site.

Nicks: Stay Away, Firecrotch

Posted on April 17, 2007 at 04:39 PM

Is there anything Lindsay Lohan won't do to try and cement a respected spot in the Hollywood establishment? Apparently not. Legendary Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks tells Blender that she has heard that Lohan wants to portray her in a biopic, and that Nicks thinks it's a pretty awful idea. Though could it be argued that Lohan's substance abuse could merely have been preparation for the role?

Stevie Nicks has denied rumours that Lindsay Lohan has signed to play her in an upcoming film.

Lohan is said to be desperate to portray Nicks in a movie focusing on the Fleetwood Mac singer's rock star lifestyle in the seventies and eighties.

However, Nicks insisted that she has never even heard of the movie and believes it would be impossible to make.

Nicks told Blender: "Lindsay Lohan thinks she is going to play me? But what the hell movie does she think she's talking about? There is no book, there is no screenplay, there is no movie without me, because it's never going to be the story of me.

"Even though a lot has been written about me, the fact is nobody actually has a clue to what my life was really like. So, good luck Lindsay!"

Hey, It's Our Own Willa Ford!

Posted on April 11, 2007 at 04:36 PM

Willa

Well that didn't take long. Willa Ford, host of fuse's very own Pants-Off Dance-Off, is set to star in the title role of an Anna Nicole Smith biopic that begins shooting next week. Strike while the iron is hot! That's what they say. The flick will cover Smith's life as a centerfold, model, wife of an aged tycoon and lightning rod for tragedy. No word on how Trimspa will be portrayed.

Dancer-singer Willa Ford has signed to star as Anna Nicole Smith in an indie biopic that will begin shooting next week.

The previously announced film, "Anna Nicole," is produced by Jack Nasser and Joseph Nasser with Elie Samaha exec producing. Keoni Waxman directs.

Movie will cover Smith's life from age 17 until her death in February at 39, including her success as a Playboy centerfold, Guess model and actress, her marriage to billionaire oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, the death of her son and her own death five months after giving birth to a baby girl, Dannielynn. The dispute that erupted over who was the baby's father was settled Tuesday when a judge in the Bahamas ruled, based on DNA tests, in favor of California photographer and former Smith boyfriend Larry Birkhead.

Ford's best known for her multiplatinum single "I Wanna Be Bad" and her debut album "Willa Was Here." She was also a performer on the third season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." She is currently writing and recording her sophomore album. [Ed: Hey, don't forget about Pants-Off Dance-Off!]

Johansson's Sexy Bod

Posted on April 10, 2007 at 09:08 AM

Here's a shocker - Scarlett Johansson, the hot ass, sexy actress with a great body, has been voted the woman with the sexiest body in the world, according to Glamour Magazine. Although the mag doesn't go into specifics, the honor is probably due to her fantastic [redacted], as well as her jaw-dropping [redacted].

Women have voted Scarlett Johansson the star with the sexiest body in the world.

The 22-year-old Hollywood actress topped a poll in Glamour magazine.

The Lost In Translation star is famous for her voluptuous figure.

Director Woody Allen described her as "criminally sexy" and Glamour said: "With curves to rival Marilyn Monroe's, Scarlett embraces old-school Hollywood style and exudes body confidence.

"Does she ever have an off day? In a word, no."

Leaving Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

Posted on February 28, 2007 at 08:40 AM

At least it wasn't Norbit that stormed out. Reports are that Eddie Murphy stormed out of the Kodak Theatre following the announcement of Alan Arkin's Best Supporting Actor win, IE Eddie Murphy's loss. Eddie's rep, surprise surprise, is saying that Eddie planned on leaving early anyway. Riiiiight.

Eddie Murphy is a loser. Whether or not he's a sore one is still anyone's call.

The Dreamgirls star, who was beaten out by Little Miss Sunshine's Alan Arkin in the Best Supporting Actor category Sunday night in what industry oddsmakers deemed an upset, is lashing out at reports that he erupted in a tantrum of Effie proportions after his name wasn't called.

On Monday, several reports surfaced of Murphy's purported diva behavior, stating that the Saturday Night Live alum stormed out of the Kodak Theater after Arkin ascended the podium and never returned.

The New York Post claimed that Murphy was so "furious" at his loss, that he cut and ran, and "didn't bother" showing up any post-Oscar parties. TMZ, too, got in on the squealing, saying Murphy was "a real sore loser" who further insulted the Academy by, well, "not smiling."

Such effrontery.

Murphy's rep, Arnold Robinson, attempted to put an end to the character assassination Tuesday, telling E! News that the actor did indeed leave shortly after his category was announced, but that he had planned to do so regardless of the award's outcome.

"Eddie had always planned on leaving after his category was announced to spend the rest of the evening with his family," Robinson said. "He did the same thing following the Golden Globe Awards."

The Oscars? Who Cares...

Posted on February 26, 2007 at 08:38 AM

Seriously, you can keep your Martin Scorseses, your Letters From Iwo Jima, your Dreamgirls... and gimme the Razzies! But please don't give me the movies that these anti-awards honor. You see, the Razzies are handed out to the worst that Hollywood has to offer each year. The big winner (um, make that loser) thisyear? That massively bad idea of a sequel Basic Instinct 2, which took home Razzies for Worst Screenplay, Worst Prequel Or Sequel, Worst Actress (Sharon Stone) and Worst Picture Of The Year. Congratulations to the producers of Basic Instinct 2.

"Basic Instinct 2," the bomb sequel to 1992's "Basic Instinct," defeated tough competition on Saturday night to win the Razzie Award as the worst picture of 2006. The competitors included Cage's critically slammed remake of "The Wicker Man," in which the once Oscar-winning actor wears a bear suit at a moment of high drama.

The 27th annual awards, presented by the Golden Raspberry Foundation, were held at Hollywood's Ivar Theater.

"Instinct 2" -- known to Razzie organizers as "Basically, It Stinks, Too" -- won four awards overall, including worst screenplay, worst prequel or sequel and worst actress for Stone, who was mocked for her poorly presented physical assets as well as her performance.

Right behind "Instinct 2" with three Razzies was the Wayans brothers' poopfest "Little Man," which won worst actor (for Marlon and Shawn Wayans), worst screen couple (for Shawn and Marlon Wayans or Kerry Washington) and worst remake or rip-off. "Little Man" was called a rip-off of a 1954 Bugs Bunny cartoon.

M. Night Shyamalan, whose last name was a running joke all evening, picked up worst director and worst supporting actor for his waterlogged bedtime story "Lady in the Water."

Carmen Electra won worst supporting actress for her work in "Date Movie" and "Scary Movie 4."

Despite six nominations -- including one for another past Oscar winner, Ben Kingsley -- the video game-vampire tale "Bloodrayne" came up empty. So did Tim Allen, nominated for worst actor for three different films: "Santa Clause 3," "The Shaggy Dog" and "Zoom."

The Razzie show led off with a parody of "Dreamgirls" featuring a trio of men in drag (the "Bad Dreams") and continued in that impish spirit.

"Little Man," which featured Marlon Wayans' face computer-attached to an infant's head, was hailed as "a CGI achievement for the ages."

"Material Girls," starring sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff, was "inspired by the Madonna song in much the same way as World War II was inspired by World War I."

Diddy Works Factory?

Posted on January 30, 2007 at 10:51 AM

Nobody makes the scene like Sean 'P Diddy Puff Daddy Diddy' Combs. The rapper/producer/romancer extraordinaire was seen escorting Sienna Miller into her New York hotel early Sunday morning. Miller is in town promoting Factory Girl, in which she plays Warhol plaything and Dylan lover Edie Sedgwick. Combs claims he was just being a gentlemen and escorting Sienna home. Edie Sedgwick and Bob Dylan, Sienna Miller and Diddy - sadly life does not imitate art.

Sean 'P Diddy' Combs has laughed off rumours he is romancing actress Sienna Miller after they were spotted sneaking into a New York hotel together.

The rapper and Jude Law's ex-fiancé were snapped after an all night clubbing session in the Big Apple yesterday.

However, when he realised he had been caught on camera - the superstar approached photographers to explain.

Diddy - who became a dad to twins with girlfriend Kim Porter last month - said: "Man, I was just being a gentleman and dropping her off.

"Yeah, we all hang out together but there's no more to it than that."

So will Tom, and our shortie.
I can't wait to meet the aliens.
I am happy.

I am from Toledo, Ohio.
My career is slowly going downhill.
I am so happy.
I wonder if these windows lock.

Playboy Magazine - Out Of Ideas

Posted on March 2, 2006 at 11:04 AM

Do people still "read" Playboy? Hmmm.

Actress Jessica Alba, who appears in a bikini on the cover of Playboy's March issue, is threatening to sue the magazine, claiming that Hugh Hefner & Co. are trying to make it seem that she appears in a "nude or semi-nude pictorial." According to Brian Wolf, Alba's counsel, the venerable men's magazine has caused the young star "immeasurable harm" by placing her on its cover (Alba appears next to a cover line billboarding a story on the 25 sexiest celebrities). Wolf charges that Playboy initially offered to pay Alba to appear on the cover, but that they were flatly turned down. The magazine, he added, then resorted to a ruse to obtain a promotional photo of a bikini-clad Alba from Columbia Pictures. That sultry image, from the film "Into the Blue," appears on Playboy's cover.

Not So Fast, Grandpa!

Posted on November 2, 2005 at 10:15 AM

I realize that illegally downloading movies is wrong, is stealing, bad karma, etc. etc., but methinks this is ridiculous:

A 67-year-old man who says he doesn't even like watching movies has been sued by the film industry for copyright infringement after a grandson of his downloaded four movies on their home computer. Lawrence said his grandson, who was then 12, downloaded "The Incredibles," "I, Robot," "The Grudge," and "The Forgotten" in December, without knowing it was illegal to do so. The Racine man said his grandson downloaded the movies out of curiosity, and deleted the computer files immediately. The family already owned three of the four titles on DVD, he said. "I can see where they wouldn't want this to happen, but when you get up around $4,000 … I don't have that kind of money," Lawrence said. "I never was and never will be a wealthy person."

Watching "I, Robot", you're not going to get culturally wealthy, either.
