Snooki: 'I won't wear a bikini'


Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi has insisted that she will never wear a bikini.

The Jersey Shore star said that she prefers one-piece bathing suits as she feels they are more "provocative".

“I would rather wear a sexy one-piece whether I am heavy or down to 90 pounds,” she told People.

“I wore one-piece suits when I was really skinny to hide my nakedness in a sexy way. I think they are more provocative because it makes guys want to see more of me.”

However, the 22-year-old added that she wants to get healthy again after gaining weight while filming in Miami.

“I do like to feel healthy. After eating fast food and drinking booze every day in Miami, I know I need to lose weight. I want to feel better. I plan to go back to eating salads and chicken with no drinking," she explained.

“I was more fit when I was cheerleading in high school. I will hit the gym and do cheerleading stunts for some good exercise in coming days.”

Snooki recently revealed that she is not bothered by critics because she believes they are all "jealous" of her.

Andrew worries about POV comments backlash


Andrew has admitted that he doesn't understand the house's reaction to his comments at today's POV ceremony.

Despite being unaware that several houseguests have turned on him following his attack on Brendon and Rachel earlier today, the 39-year-old podiatrist told Matt that he feared a house backlash over his behaviour.

"I didn’t do anything, I only did what you did, I get the bad thing for it," he moaned. "Now people are using it as an excuse."

Referring to his own conflict with the power couple last week, Matt joked: "I'm flattered that you decided to emulate my game play. It got me here (to HOH), maybe you’ll be king next week."

"I hope it doesn’t backfire on me 'cos I really want to stay and this might shine a light on me," a clearly concerned Andrew said. He then proceeded to make a case to the most influential person in the house this week, arguing: "Kathy ain't gonna win HOH to save your ass. You know if I win HOH, you ain't going up."

Kathy to reveal Brendon and Rachel's secrets

Kathy Hillis from Big Brother 12
CBS
Kathy has announced her intention to reveal all of Brendon and Rachel's secrets if she manages to stay in the house on Thursday.

Sat in the bedroom with Hayden and Kristen, the Southern sheriff revealed that the showmance couple would feel her wrath after Brendon refused to give her his backing earlier this evening.

"He just told me, ‘Don’t even bother talking to me, I'm not voting for you,'" she fumed. "Flat out." Kristen deemed Brendon "fucking crazy" for alienating Kathy by supporting Andrew and expressed how dismayed she would be if either of the pair won HOH and put her and Hayden up next week.

However, Kathy argued that she was in fact the real target because she had gathered a large amount of information on the two after spending most of her time with them during Rachel's HOH stint last week.

"She knows I sat up there last week and heard every single thing so she wants me gone," she said.

"I told them in the Diary Room, they ain't seen nothing yet. It's all coming out," she promised. "Every gameplay that they have. That’s why they want me out so bad 'cos they’re up there panicking."

Clearly ecstatic with the prospect of Kathy spilling the beans, Kristen urged her to use her knowledge of their scheming to her advantage.

"Come Wednesday you have to spit that out to people," she stated, "that you know a lot of information about them that you have not released, which is why they want to keep you over Andrew. Say it!"

Kathy agreed that she would try to promote her inside info to the house as much as possible in order to stay, adding: "If we accomplish this, we have accomplished a lot."

Rihanna Sinks 'Battleship'


Rihanna is going on a voyage on the high seas for her motion picture debut in 'Battleship,' according to Variety.

The chart-topping singer will star in the Universal film with Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitch. Based on the classic Hasbro board game of the same name, 'Battleship' takes place in water, on land, and in the air. Kitch has been cast to play a Naval officer who leads the battle. Skarsgard is set for the role of his brother.

According to Variety, 'Battleship' will sink into theaters on May 25, 2012.

Ben Shephard 'to front Sky Sports football'


Ben Shephard has reportedly agreed a deal to present live football for Sky Sports.

The 35-year-old, who recently brought forward the date of his GMTV departure, is believed to have signed a contract worth up to £495,000-a-year.

Sky Sports will divide up this season's televised matches between Shephard and the channel's current main presenter Richard Keys, according to The Mirror.

A source said: “Whatever way you look at it, it’s a huge coup to get Ben Shephard onto the channel, and Sky will want value for money and to promote him wherever possible.

“He was one of the most-known faces on ITV broadcasting to millions of people every week. Many viewers may feel that Ben is ideal to take over from Richard when he decides to step down.”

Insiders say that Shephard will “definitely” front several Premiership matches and big-name Champions League games for Sky this season.

Sources are apparently hopeful that Shephard and Keys will "complement" each other, and are keen to insist that Keys is still an integral part of the presenting line-up.

A source added: “We have hundreds of matches every season and Ben’s remit will not encroach upon Richard’s.”

Shephard is thought to have impressed Sky bosses with his knowledge of sport during a number of meetings over the last few months.

An insider said: “They clearly have high hopes for him. He is a sports nut, in particular rugby and football. He sees his future in sport, not in daytime TV.”

Shephard will present his final edition of GMTV this Friday.

Applegate will launch Right Action For Women in September and hopes the project will aid women get any cancer
detected early, reports wenn.com.

"It's a programme giving financial aid to high-risk women who can't afford to get MRIs, which is how I found my cancer. It's unfortunate that insurance companies (in America) don't cover the cost of that.

"It's such an incredible device because you can find it at an early detection stage. We started our pilot programme and started helping women already, even though we aren't launched," she said.

"The other aspect of the programme is to do genetic counselling and help women understand what being high-risk means, and understanding what foods are good for their bloods and how to prevent this disease from happening. That has been my mission," she added.

It's Official: Warner Bros Only Studio To Pass $1B Domestic For 10 Straight Years


BURBANK, CA – July 26, 2010 – On Sunday, July 25th, Warner Bros. Studios became the only studio in history to surpass $1 billion at the domestic box office for ten years in a row. In addition, the division has crossed the billion-dollar threshold for eleven of the past twelve years. The announcement was made by Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures President of Domestic Distribution.

The studio passed the billion-dollar mark on the heels of the blockbuster success of Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” which has topped the weekend box office in its first two weeks in release and has taken in $142.9 million to date. Beginning the year, Warner Bros. was still enjoying the success of Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,” which had just opened on Christmas Day 2009. The studio also scored hits with Alcon Entertainment’s action adventure “The Book of Eli”; New Line Pictures’ ensemble romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day,” directed by Garry Marshall; the epic action adventure “Clash of the Titans”; and “Sex and the City 2,” New Line’s follow up to its 2008 hit based on the enormously popular television show.

In making the announcement, Fellman said, “This is an extraordinary milestone for our studio, and it reflects the enormous talent and dedication of a large roster of people, both on and off the screen. We are very proud of what we have achieved, not only this year, but over the past decade, and with an amazing slate of films opening in the coming months, we know this is just the beginning.”

Still to come in 2010 from Warner Bros. Pictures are: “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore 3D,” opening this week; Rob Reiner’s “Flipped”; “Lottery Ticket,” starring Bow Wow and Ice Cube; “Going the Distance,” starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long; “The Town,” directed by and starring Ben Affleck; Zack Snyder’s animated “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole 3D”; “Life As We Know It,” pairing Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel; Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter,” starring Matt Damon; Todd Phillips’ “Due Date,” teaming Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis; the much-anticipated “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1”; and “Yogi Bear 3D,” bringing the classic character to the big screen.

A New Movie Guide


I know, I know: the idea of publishing a reference book in the age of instant communication sounds positively quaint. But the 2011 Edition of Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide is just out, in two paperback formats—mass-market and a larger “trade size”—still alive and kicking after forty-one years (!). True, we can’t offer the immediacy of the Internet, but I still think the book is relevant, and so do a substantial number of readers around the world, thank goodness. We’ve added 300 new reviews, as recent as Sex and the City 2 and Iron Man 2, bringing the book up to a whopping 1,643 pages, and as always we’ve made hundreds and hundreds of changes, corrections, and additions. If a film is remade or followed by a sequel, turned into a TV series or Broadway play, we say so. If an actor who wasn’t well known when a film was—

—made is now recognizable, we add him or her to our cast list, or point out their appearance. We’ve noted early credits for Jay Baruchel, Thomas Jane, Jane Lynch, Bill Nighy, Michael Cera, Rainn Wilson, January Jones, Jeremy Piven, Jane Adams, Hugh Laurie, Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss, and Jonah Hill, among others, this time around.

It’s a point of personal satisfaction to lead people to good movies they might not otherwise watch, and in this edition we cite such worthy small-scale films as Summer Hours, In the Loop, The Answer Man, The Tiger’s Tail, Five Minutes of Heaven, Big Fan, World’s Greatest Dad, That Evening Sun, The Maid, Trucker, Me and Orson Welles, and Skin. I hope our reviews will inspire some readers to try them out.

Most of all, my valued team of collaborators and I work very hard to be as accurate as possible, whether it’s confirming a running time or the spelling of an actor’s name. When we do make a mistake, our readers let us know and we’re able to fix the problem in our next edition.

I’m awfully lucky to have a great team working with me, led by managing editor Darwyn Carson, and peopled by dedicated film buffs who are also detail-oriented. My thanks go out to Luke Sader, Mike Clark, Rob Edelman, Spencer Green, Pete Hammond, Joe Leydon, Michael Scheinfeld, Bill Warren, Casey St. Charnez, Jerry Beck, and my daughter Jessie Maltin for sticking with this project year after year.

Brand new "LET ME IN" poster and Comic Con panel


It's safe to say the recent first trailer for LET ME IN, Matt Reeves' (CLOVERFIELD) remake of the beloved Swedish film, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN did a good deal in the way of softening cinema lovers' ill will towards it. Friday's presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, however, did a whole lot more. Read on for a recap and the brand new poster.

By now you're most likely familiar with the tale of Oskar and Eli, the young 12 year old boy and his new vampiric neighbor, and the relationship they share that's inspired awe in readers and audiences. Well there seemed to be two missions of Reeves and his cast this weekend. The first, to prove that Reeves, who signed on to direct the adaptation long before the original film hit U.S. shores, was just as touched and affected by it as all of us and secondly, that his version will not simply be a shot-for-shot retread of what Tomas Alfredson so wonderfully created.

Renamed Owen and Abby, and essayed by two child actors already familiar with mature and dark material (KICK ASS' Chloe Moretz and THE ROAD's Kodi-Smit McPhee), the first extended glimpse was a familiar scene to fans of the story- their first "date". While differences were subtle and small, the scene played out beautifully setting the stage for the real show stopper.

[If you haven’t seen the original or read the novel, you may want to skip this and the next bit] Reeves presented his staging of Richard Jenkins’ character (the sort of protector and slave of Abby) and his chaotic attempt at getting his love the blood she needs. In the original film, he sneaks into a gymnasium’s locker room to wait for his victims. In the clip shown, Jenkins hides in the backseat of a young man’s car and we watch as everything goes wrong, from the boy picking up his friend, to needing gas, to eventually being discovered. The discovery leads to a stunningly filmed car wreck that will prove to audiences Reeves is just as talented behind classical narrative filmmaking as he was a handheld camera. The whole crash plays out inside the vehicle from a stationary POV in the backseat and the visuals on display, as bodies and the contents of the car fly, tumbling over and over again, become a feast for the eyes.

Naturally, the issue of Abby’s gender ambiguity came up in the Q&A and Reeves revealed it’s not explicitly addressed in his film, but the interpretation is not blocked in anyway.

Look for an exclusive interview with Reeves, McPhee and Jenkins on the site soon and check out the latest poster for the film, which serves to continue the excellent job LET ME IN is doing at getting people excited.

Images from JACKASS 3D Event at Comic-Con and Steve Watches 8 Minutes from the Soon to Be Classic Film


I saw a lot of awesome movie footage at this year’s Comic-Con. While many things impressed me, only one thing made me laugh so hard that I almost couldn’t take it: Jackass 3D. In an abandoned parking lot last Friday night, Paramount showed about 8 minutes of the movie in a converted trailer and it played huge. Literally everyone I spoke with afterwards was raving about the footage and if you’re a fan of the Jackass franchise, it looks like the 3rd film is going to be the best.
Also, this isn’t some converted 3D movie like Clash of the Titans or Last Airbender. When they shot Jackass 3, they used 3D cameras and it shows! During the 8 minutes of footage we saw some crazy stunts and it looked amazing in 3D. While Jeffrey Katzenberg and James Cameron have been raving about 3D and how it can help the movie going experience, I’m wondering what they’ll say when they see Steve-O in a portopotie getting thrown around with feces flying everywhere – including on the cameras and in his mouth. It was some of the sickest and most awesome movie footage I have ever seen. Much more after the jump:

As I said, Paramount held the Jackass 3D event Friday night by creating a beer garden in an abandoned parking lot near Comic-Con. They invited a ton of press, and they also opening it up to regular folks. Of course no beer garden would be complete without beer, so they set up a bar in the middle of the parking lot serving a lot of alcohol in Jackass beercoozies.

While we waited for the presentation to start, the cast of Jackass was mingling with the crowd and they were taking pictures and answering fan questions. Unlike some press opportunities at Comic-Con, there were no ropes or distance between the guests of honor and everyone in attendance.

After a few drinks and some socializing, we eventually sat down in the trailer to watch the footage.

The thing to know is…the first half (or maybe even the first 70% of the footage) seemed like test footage for doing the movie in 3D. The footage was almost all in slow motion, but the depth in the frame was incredible. The footage featured a lot of the cast on a soundstage getting pummeled. One of the scenes had someone getting hit by a paintball gun a crazy amount of times and the entire sequence was perfectly shot for 3D.

The camera started on the left and dollied to the right. As it dollied, the person in the center of the frame was close to the camera while the person getting shot was further back so you could really see the distance. As the camera moved, the shooter looked at the camera and was smiling while firing. Towards the end of the shot, he let at least 15 bullets fly and with the sequence being done in slow motion and in 3D, it was amazing. We were all laughing hysterically while the person getting shot was screaming in pain. Typical Jackass.

After watching a bunch of test footage (which all looked great), we finally got to a sequence that looked and felt like Jackass.

If you ever saw Poo Cocktail, the sequence shown was a newer version called Poo Cocktail Supreme and it featured Steve-O in a portopotie attached to two huge cranes and a bungie cord.

The set-up is Steve-O is sitting on the seat. The entire portopotie has already been filled with feces. After someone cuts the cord, the portopotie flies up what looks like hundreds of feet in the air and the feces literally goes everywhere. Imagine shit flying at the camera, on Steve-O, on his face, his open mouth…everywhere. And unlike the previous Jackass stunts, it’s all in 3D and it looks like it’s flying at you. While some of you might think this is wrong on many levels, I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time. Seriously. If I could have watched the entire movie that night, I might have declared Jackass 3D the best film of the year. It was that good.

Of course when Steve-O landed and someone had to get him out of the chair, everyone started throwing up. More laughter. Steve-O finally got up and he’s covered in shit and then started to chase down people to cover them in feces. Cue even more laughter. Again, the Jackass 3D footage couldn’t have played any better.

After that sequence we saw a few other things and they all looked great in 3D and everything was extremely funny. I really mean it when I say, I could not be more excited for this film. Based on the footage shown at Comic-Con, I am 100% sure Paramount is going to make a lot of money later this year. Also, everyone is going to be talking about the movie when they finally start to see footage and the trailer in 3D.

Unlike some films that play it safe with 3D and only use it sparingly, I think the new format has actually inspired and refreshed the Jackass franchise. Since I only saw the footage once and didn’t take any notes (deal with it, I wanted to enjoy the footage) I can’t really write about all the little scenes and shots they showed us that demonstrated why the 3D looked so good and so funny. Just take my word for it.

Circle October 15th on your calendar. That’s the day you’re going to be crying in your local theater from laughing too hard.

Since Paramount showed us footage at Comic-Con and with the release date only a few months away, I’d imagine we’re going to get a trailer any day now. We’ll obviously post it as soon as it goes online. Also, I didn’t take any pictures while the event was going as I didn’t have my camera. The images in this article were taken while Paramount was setting up.

Rihanna to Play BATTLESHIP with Peter Berg













Rihanna will make her film debut alongside Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitsch in director Peter Berg’s feature-length adaptation of the classic Hasbro game Battleship. The basic premise centers on a battle over land, sea, and sky against a “superior” alien force. According to Variety, Kitsch will play a Naval officer with Skarsgard cast as his older brother; no word yet on what role Rihanna has signed on for. For more info on the movie, hit the jump.

Berg has already confirmed that, unlike several other summer blockbusters set to come out in 2012, Battleship will not be in 3D. The film will instead focus on classic naval warfare and — as Hasbro CEO and producer Brian Goldner told MTV a while back — telling a “unique story.” Of course, this doesn’t explicitly rule out a conversion to 3D in post-production.

'Kajraare' will not arrive on 6th Aug., shifted ahead'



KAJRAARE has been pushed ahead! Initially slated for release on 6th August, the film will now release on Eid, on 10th September. That's the buzz in the industry. The postponement has come as a surprise, since the promotion of the film is in full gear.

Bhushan Kumar, the producer of KAJRAARE, sheds light on the issue, "Yes, we are not releasing the film on 6th August. In fact, we haven't taken a call on the new date yet." The buzz is that the film will now hit the screens on Eid. Will it withstand the tough competition posed by DABANGG and WE ARE FAMILY? "It's uncertain at the moment. We will arrive at a decision [on the new date] within a week or so," he states.

Why this sudden shift? "Our distributors are of the opinion that we shouldn't release the film during the holy month of Ramzan. Also, since we are planning to have a really big release in Pakistan, releasing the film during Ramzan would've hampered the business prospects. In view of the fact, we decided to shift the film to a latter date," the head honcho of T-Series reveals.
