Pete Doherty, lead singer with the rock band Babyshambles, returns to court next week to be sentenced for seven drug offences, prosecutors said on Friday. He is also due to face a review of a community order for previous drug offences at the appointment at Thames Magistrates Court in east London on Monday. Doherty pleaded guilty in August to four charges of possessing class A drugs including heroin and cocaine and one charge of possessing cannabis. The 27-year old self-confessed drug addict, who according to tabloids is still romantically linked to top model Kate Moss, has been in and out of court over the past year.
Missed out, did ya, on this summer’s fancy-shmancy Christie’s auction of memorabilia from all things Star Trek? Well, It’s a Wrap (the prop and wardrobe outlet, not the roll-up chain) and Paramount are hosting a new offering of out-of-this-world artifacts. This latest online auction, kicking off Stardate 60956.0 (aka Dec. 15) at eBay and ItsAWrapHollywood.com, will feature items from Trek’s five series and 10 films, including Observation Lounge furniture from Next Generation, a Klingon Bat-Leth sword, and "hero costumes" worn by the likes of Spock and Picard. Get in on this one, gang, because from here on, all that’s really left is, like, an open jar of the foundation makeup employed by evil Kirk in "The Enemy Within."
BTW next time you are in LA, you have to check out this store! It is great cheap clothes that was used in a movie or a TV show! Personally I love the jewerly!!!
Nicole Kidman wanted to stay married to Tom Cruise forever. The Australian actress married Tom in 1990 and the “Top Gun” star left her just before their tenth wedding anniversary, although they stayed husband until 2001. "Honestly, I would have stayed married for the rest of my life. It’s not like I regret who I was in that marriage, I don’t at all. It was eleven years of my life. It wasn’t 50 years, it turned out to be 11”, Nicole told Vogue magazine. "You get the advice, ‘Don’t get married when you’re 22′, and you just think, ‘They don’t know what they’re talking about!’ But now I look back and think, ‘Oh, there’s probably some truth to that", added Kidman. The “Cold Mountain” star was pregnant when Tom left her, and she suffered a miscarriage shortly afterwards. They broke up for unrevealed reasons in 2001. Nicole also spoke about meeting her present husband Keith Urban, who she married this summer. "I was very wary, and damaged. It wasn’t that I’d give up hope, I was, just, asleep. But now I feel like I’ve woken up again. Rather than living through characters, I’ve learned to be myself", said the Oscar-winning star. Recovering alcoholic Keith checked into rehab last month after falling off the wagon while Nicole was away filming “His Dark Materials”. The actress flew home to Nashville to be with her husband.
FIRST, Broadway was invaded by "American Idol" contestants. Now, it looks as if the Great White Way will soon be inundated with hoofers from "Dancing With the Stars." The rumor backstage at "The Producers" is that Mario Lopez – who finished second to Emmitt Smith on the last edition of the wildly popular ABC reality series – is being wooed to join the Broadway production as nebbishy account Leo Bloom in the spring. The pursuit of Lopez is part of a big push to keep "The Producers," which had some shaky weeks at the box office earlier this year, on the boards until "Young Frankenstein," Mel Brooks’ next show, moves into the St. James in the fall of 2007. Television star Tony Danza joins the cast as Max Bialystock later this month, and hopes are he’ll keep ticket sales up during the post-holiday doldrums. Playing Bloom opposite Danza until March will be Roger Bart, who’s always fun to see in the role. (He was the show’s original Carmen Ghia.) The success of "Dancing With the Stars" – it draws between 15 million and 20 million viewers – has producers of long-running musicals regularly checking the availability of past contestants. The producers hope to line up some of them for the summer, when Broadway’s awash in tourists. Lopez is also on producers Fran and Barry Weissler’s list of possible Billy Flynns in "Chicago." So is Harry Hamlin, who appeared on the last edition of "Dancing With the Stars." Other "Dancing With the Stars" alums being eyed by theater producers and casting directors include Joey Lawrence, Lisa Rinna, Drew Lachey (who appeared in "Rent" a few years before he did "Dancing With the Stars") and John O’Hurley.
How could Lopez ever be considered for Bloom, just because someone has a name does not mean they should do the role. It is sad state when hasbeens get cast to bring in audience to a Broadway show that is long past it’s run. Many years ago I saw Cabaret with an unknown and he blew me away. There are several actors who are deserving of the roles and let’s hope they get a shot and not just banished to the chorus for a hasbeen. That is just my 2 cents!
