 | 09:16 pm - Top 10 Cult Movies of the Decade
Exactly what qualifies as a cult classic is a point of contention to many. Urban Dictionary describes it in a variety of ways. Including the concise, “A movie that is weird as f*ck.” Oddly, that source of love and mistakes Wikipedia may have the finest definition, claiming a cult movie to be “a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans.” Adding pointedly, “(They) have limited but very special, noted appeal.” A movie can gain success and be a cult movie, it just has to be a certain kind of picture, one that breeds ravenous individuals to view them again and again, forming instant friendships with strangers who share that passion. Basically, a cult movie is like an obscenity, you know it when you see it. In continuation of the retrospective of the decade that was in cinema, these are the Top 10 Cult Movies of the Decade, not to be confused with the most popular.

 | 09:16 pm - Carey Mulligan's in a class of her own
Just under a year ago, Carey Mulligan was sleeping quite soundly at night. Then she found out An Education was going to play at the Sundance Film Festival. The weight of shouldering her first lead suddenly hit her. "I started freaking out that if everybody hated it, it would be all my fault," she explains. "I had these anxiety dreams – very basic anxiety dreams – where Geoff Gilmore, the [former] director of Sundance put me in a car and made me leave for being disappointing. In Park City, in the main high street, he gets this black car and he's like, 'Get in. You've got to go. Everyone thought it was going to be really good!'"
Fortunately, everybody did think it was good. Better than good, as it goes. Winner of the Audience Award, An Education has since become one of the most talked-about films this year. What's more, the London-born Mulligan has become the centre of attention for her breakthrough role as Jenny, a 16-year-old schoolgirl who falls under the spell of an older man (Peter Sarsgaard) in 1960s suburban England. Already nominated for a British Independent Film Award for Best Actress, an Oscar nod is now a very real possibilit y (Ladbroke's make her second favourite at 5-1 to win Best Actress, behind Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia). No wonder Time magazine recently proclaimed, "Carey Mulligan: a star is born".

 | 06:20 pm - Eastwick canceled
The Forgotten gets more episodes, Let’s Dance scrapped
Sorry Eastwick fans, but you should’ve seen it coming.
__________________________________________________________________
via James Hibberd’s the live feed:
ABC has picked up five more episodes of Tuesday night’s “The Forgotten” while deciding against ordering additional episodes of “Eastwick.”
In addition, ABC is yanking the planned upcoming debut of reality show “Let’s Dance.”
__________________________________________________________________
With the exception of scrapping plans for the only just recently announced to begin with “Let’s Dance”, these moves aren’t a big surprise. Perhaps the move of picking up The Forgotten is surprising for some, but Jerry Bruckheimer’s show will live on for at least 5 additional episodes.

 | 09:13 pm - Two and a Half Men Teen Millionaire
Is it fair that one of Hollywood's most successful and richest young actors didn't set out to be a performer -- in fact, never took an acting class -- when there are thousands of others like him, sweating auditions, posing for head shots, tweeting their every move?
To underscore the point: Angus T. Jones, the "half" in the No. 1 comedy on TV, “Two and a Half Men,” doesn't even know if he wants to continue to hone the skill that's made him a millionaire when the 7-year-old CBS sitcom goes off the air. He's a 16-year-old high school sophomore who wants to go to college, and that's as far as his plans go.
"I don't know what I'm going to take or where I'm going to go," he said. "I'm not really sure. I don't really know if I want to do acting as a career. I really don't know what I want to do yet."
But what does he say to those legions of young actors who study, worry and undoubtedly envy him?
"I'm sorry?" Jones replied sweetly, his shoulders shrugging as his eyes melted into his signature broad grin. "It's always come naturally to me, but I don't know if I want to do this as a career."
( i can't believe he's a MILLIONAIRE )

 | 06:06 pm - AW HELL NAH! WILL SMITH TO GO FULL RETARD
Will Smith to Remake Flowers for Algernon
Two-time Academy Award nominee, Will Smith, may have found the project that will finally win him that elusive Oscar. According to our inside source, The Hollywood Cog, Smith is set to produce and star in Flowers for Algernon, a modern-day adaptation of the Daniel Keyes’ novel. The movie is being set up at Sony Pictures and Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment, along with Polksy Films. Tracy Nyberg, an associate producer on Hancock and an assistant to Will Smith on I Am Legend, is also set to produce.
Flowers for Algernon has been adapted several times since it was originally published in 1959, most famously Ralph Nelson’s Charly, which won Cliff Robertson an Academy Award in 1969. The short story (and the subsequent novel) is about Charlie, a mentally retarded man who is the first human test subject for an experimental surgery that artificially increases intelligence. The experiment had already been performed successfully on Algernon, a lab mouse. Charlie’s newfound intelligence (his IQ skyrockets from 68 to 185), however, comes at the cost of his ability to socialize normally, as he becomes increasingly alienated from those around him. Emotional consequences are involved when Charlie learns the truth of the experiment.
The project seems ideal for Smith, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performances in Ali and Pursuit of Happyness. Smith will bring his populist appeal to yet another Oscar contender.
Smith has several other projects currently in development, including an American remake of Oldboy, potential sequels to Hancock and I, Robot, in addition to a prequel to I Am Legend. No word on where Flowers for Algernon will fall into Smith’s filming schedule, but I’d expect the project to be fast-tracked, once a director comes aboard. And though no director has been announced, Smith’s Happyness and Seven Pounds collaborator, Gabriele Muccino, seems a likely candidate.

( You Know You Want to Enter )
Levi Johnston plans on filing for joint custody of his son, claiming the Palin family is keeping him from seeing the 10-month old tot.
The 19-year-old Alaskan told "The Insider" that he had encountered a problem over the weekend when he tried to see Tripp, his son with Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol.
"At the end of the month I'm going to file for joint custody of Tripp," he said Monday on "The Insider." "Not working. I'm done. It's going to have to go to court. They just finally pushed me over the edge."
Johnston has said before that his ex-fiance's family has kept him from seeing his son, but perhaps the Palins were peeved at his recent remarks.

Here’s the trailer for the Jay documentary that will come packaged with Curtis’ Before I Self Destruct CD. Or you can purchase it separately if Boo Boo isn’t your speed. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years already.

Not feelin the fact Curtis is packaging this with his album. It feels like just a shot at Supreme Griffin (if everyone knows the whole Queens connect between him, 50 and JMJ). Also, how did he get Ja, Fredro and Sticky to sit down for this?
Either way, its been 7 years to the week, no one's been prosecuted, and there's 3 kids and a widow with no closure.....

 | 12:39 pm - Maddens storm out of radio interview
Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden have stormed out of a Melbourne radio station after taking offence to an interview segment about Britney Spears.
The normally laid-back twins began the interview with Fox 101.9 breakfast show hosts Jo Stanley and Matt Tilley by warning the pair that they were "pretty wrecked" after a big night out.
After answering a few preliminary questions, the Madden brothers were asked to play a game to test if they could sense what the other was feeling.
The game soon turned pear-shaped when Benji was blindfolded and Joel was shown a well-known photograph of Spears getting out of a car without her underwear on.
Benji promptly guessed that his brother was annoyed while Joel made no secret of his irritation.
"I think I'm pretty laid back dude, but you guys are getting on my nerves," he said.
A spokeswoman for the radio show told ninemsn that producers were forced to use the "dump button" to prevent expletives from the musicians going to air.
Joel could then be heard saying "we're outta here" before storming out of the studio just as Tilley was attempting to move onto a new challenge.
His brother left the studio shortly after, the spokeswoman said.
Joel was quick to vent his fury at the radio hosts on Twitter.
"Just walked out of a FOXfm interview in Melbourne not in the mood to be a clown," he wrote in a post.
"Most of the time I can put up with idiot morning show hosts but not today. I guess I have finally found some Aussies I don't get on with."
Joel told producers off air he was offended about being shown the photo of Spears because he was a father.

 | 08:37 pm - Michael Jackson's daughter visit's high end salon - is called "weird" in the process
Jackson's daughter gets haircut at top celebrity salon
Accompanied by her brothers, late pop star Michael Jackson's 11-year-old daughter Paris visited Andy Lecompte's salon in Los Angeles for a haircut and to get her nails painted black.
Other celebrities who frequent this salon include Madonna, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, thesun.co.uk reported. Paris was accompanied by her brothers Prince Michael and Blanket and their bodyguards.
Paris got her hair washed, cut and styled and also had her nails painted black.
Other clients present there described the girl as 'weird'. One client said, 'They weren't like normal children at all because they seemed to have no joy or playfulness about them. I know they recently lost their father but their complete lack of emotion meant it was like watching three robots.'

 | 08:37 pm - Gwyneth Paltrow to Play Wife of Transsexual Nicole Kidman in New Flick
Gwyneth Paltrow has a gender-bending new role to add to her resume.
The actress, 37, has signed on to star in The Danish Girl opposite Nicole Kidman, in a role that brings the story of the first post-operative transsexual to the big screen.
According to Variety, Paltrow will join previously cast Kidman, 42, as Greta, the supportive wife of Kidman's Einar Wegener.
In the love story, Paltrow's portrait painter Greta asks her husband to stand in for a female model -- and encourages him to continue donning a dress and stockings after her portraits become increasingly more popular. When Einar transforms into Lili, Greta's original plan causes tension in their marriage.
The Danish Girl does not yet have a release date.

 | 06:17 pm - Rachel McAdams in talks for Spider-Man 4?
Mania.com has heard from reliable sources that Sam Raimi and company have begun the process of casting the villains and supporting players of 'Spider-Man 4'. We can exclusively reveal that actress Rachel McAdams has met with the producers of the film for a major role. McAdams (of 'Wedding Crashers' and 'Sherlock Holmes' fame) is said to be a top contender for the role of Felicia Hardy, known to comic fans as The Black Cat. Our sources tell us that the Black Cat's story fits well with Raimi's Spider-Man formula, which always finds the villains troubling not only the costumed hero, but also becoming entangled in Peter Parker's personal life as well. Fans recall that when Spidey first encounters the Black Cat, she's a cat burgler looking to free her ailing father from prison. She becomes smitten with the web-slinger, to the point of a stalker-level obsession. Later stories had Peter reciprocating her affection and her becoming a lover, a friend and ally (the perfect thing to allow Sony to create a Spidey spin-off). And it looks like it'll be a two-villain movie. Our source also says they are casting for a male villain, but had few details. However, this would seem to discount the idea that Lizard is the primary, since the role of Dr. Conners has been cast since movie #2. Stay tuned to Mania.com for more on 'Spider-Man 4' as it develops! source
I'm mixed up about this - on one hand, I'd love to see Rachel play a comic bok character, on the other hand, I'm still very skeptical over the possible quality of this movie. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
