At The Movies that started with Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, and then continued on with Richard Roper after Siskel's death is going through a major change. According to Chicago Tribune both Roeper and Ebert are no longer with the show and after 33 years Disney is going to take the show in a different direction. What that means is unknown at this time, but since I never agree with their reviews, I think it is about time they changed it up.

Barbara Walters vs James Van Praagh
July 21st, 2008 under The View. [ Comments: 1 ]

 

Barbara Walters has a new feud on her hands and this time it is with the Executive Producer of Ghost Whisperer according to The New York Post. James was on The View July 7th to promote his book Ghost Among Us and warned her during a commercial break that he sensed something wrong with her blood.

"He said, 'I need to talk to you . . . There's something wrong with your blood.' Then he said, 'There's also something wrong with your lower back.'

"He said it could be an infection."

The news prayed on her mind, even though "I'm skeptical and Mr. Van Praagh knows it," she said.

"I'm obsessing, the white blood cells, blah-blah," so she went for some tests, she said on the show.

"Well, today I got the report. I am absolutely normal!" she said.

"I think it's a dangerous thing to do!" she said of Van Praagh.

Van Praagh was stunned and, he says, hurt when he saw the show.

"I felt obliged to privately acknowledge to Barbara Walters that I was sensing an abnormality with her white cell count," he told The Post over the weekend, "And even though it might not be present at the moment, she should be aware of it and keep an eye on it.

"I am sorry that Ms. Walters chose to publicly disparage me and do hope that the goodwill I demonstrated during the show is not belittled by her misinterpretation of my work."

And, oh yes, he added, "You don't have to be a psychic to know why Star [Jones] and Rosie [O'Donnell] left the show!

"I felt darts being thrown all around," Van Praagh said. "For a 'sensitive' to be on that couch, it was like sitting on ice!"

Maybe all the bad blood he saw was not her real red blood, but all the bad blood she has with people? We have seen a whole new side of her since her book came out.

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months behind bars for perverting the course of justice and beating up a pub landlord according to OK!. Amy Winehouse was not in the courtroom during the sentencing. I wonder how she is going to take the news, I am sure she will not take it well. Hopefully she won't go and get high again, but knowing her she probably will.

Top Gun 2?
July 21st, 2008 under Stupid Sequels/Remakes, Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes/Suri. [ Comments: 9 ]


Movie bosses want to bring Top Gun back to the big screen, but only if Tom Cruise says yes according to The Sun.

A script outline has been written, but the sequel depends on Cruise, 46, saying yes.
An insider said: “The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor — and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.”

I think if they did this movie 10 years ago, it could have been a hit. But so much stuff has happened with Tom Cruise’s career and personal life, that this movie doesn’t have a chance. I loved Top Gun, but I don’t want to see Tom Cruise do it again.

90210 2.0 updates and Joe E Tata talks about his Peach Pit return!
July 21st, 2008 under Beverly Hills 90210 / Melrose Place. [ Comments: 2 ]

90210 2.0 will be back on September 2nd with a 2 hour premiere and they just finished shooting it 2 days ago. That is a lot of 2s!
Coming back are Jenni Garth, Tori Spelling, Joe E Tata and Shannen Doherty. Yes Shannen Doherty will be back as Brenda Walsh. As we know she left the show she went to London to be an actress, what we don't know is what happened to her. Well she became a big actress in London and NY and she will be back to guest direct a musical at 90210!!! Tori Spelling will be back when she is up for it, but even though she is not part of the pilot we will find out what happened between her and David in that episode.
Although lots of Beverly Hills, 90210ers are part of the show, this spinoff is not going to be like the original. We are going to a different feel from show runners Jeff Judah and Gabes Sachs who did Freaks and Geeks (we will get that feel) and life as we know it. I think they will be a good fit and I can't wait to see what they bring to this show.
How will the new cast, tie in to the old cast? Well Harry Wilson (Rob Estes) grew up in Beverly Hills and lived next to one of the original cast members before moving to Kansas. Shanae Grimes, who is playing Annie Wilson, says that moving to LA from Toronto (where she filmed Degrassi) is like what she is going through with her character on the show that moves from Kansas to LA when her dad becomes the Principal at West Beverly Hills High School. The Wilson Family has to move back to take care of Harry's mother (Jessica Walter) and she is not your average Grandmother.
I love all the tie-ins from the original in the one, and after listening to the cast and Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs talk about it, I am even more excited for this show. This show is going to be as popular as the original if not more!
BTW I also spoke to Joe E Tata about returning to the Peach Pit and 90210 2.0 and here is what he said!!!
