et's start with the latest Hollywood breakup news. Josie & The Pussycats' Tara Reid and MTV's Carson Daly have apparently split up. Reid is no longer sporting a diamond on her finger and the two haven't been spotted together lately. Almost Famous star and newly married Kate Hudson has jumped into a role that Gwyneth Paltrow recently jumped out of. The movie, a romantic comedy called How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, is about a womanizer who bets his friends he can stay in a relationship for more than 10 days. Wow, that sounds tough. Speaking of Gwyneth, ever wonder how she mastered that English accent? It wasn't from studying Shakespeare or the classic actors of England. It was from making prank phone calls in different accents with her friends as a youngster in New York. Sherry Stringfield, an original ER cast member who left after the first three seasons, is set to return to the NBC medical drama for three more seasons as Dr. Susan Lewis. Meanwhile, another ER doc, Noah Wyle, is using his summer hiatus from the show to shoot a couple of movies. He'll play Renée Zellweger's hubby in White Oleander. In that film, they'll play a couple who look after a little girl while her mom is in prison for murder. The mom will be played by Michelle Pfeiffer. After that, Wyle will join Jennifer Lopez in the drama Enough. Shawn and Marlon Wayans (Scary Movie 2) are ready to take on the boy bands. In their next movie, they'll star as a struggling R&B group who decide to camouflage their skin to become a white boy band. |
From the rumor mill….We
hear that Halle Berry firmly
stood by her principles when she refused to do a nude scene in the John
Travolta flick Swordfish….
until she was offered a half-million-dollar bonus. Speaking of
Travolta, he and some Hollywood execs are also talking about doing a
musical version of the stage hit Chicago. And rumor has it that both
Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder
would play death-row prisoners in the film. We hear that Winona is going
to star along with Adam Sandler
in a remake of the Gary Cooper classic Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. |
