Another ’80s movie is being destroyed, I mean remade and this time it is Vision Quest. According to Eonline not only they destroying, but they are talking to Taylor Lautner to play the role made famous by Matthew Modine. At this point the movie is development and Eonline says that “Richard Munic has penned a screenplay that is ‘very faithful’ to the original Vision Quest.” Even with that I have little hope for this movie. Well maybe they can cast Matthew Modine as his dad and find Matthew Schoeffling from wherever he is hiding and bring him back to Hollywood’s surface and then maybe I would consider seeing it.
via ONTD Alaina Hall who was most know for her roles on Sesame Street and 227 passed away on Thursday at the age of 63 from breast cancer. So today Sing, sing a song and think of her to keep her spirit alive.
Brittany Murphy passed away from cardiac arrest at the too young age of 32 according to TMZ. Details are still sketchy so until they are more accurate I will leave it with that about the cause of death. Billy Bush tweeted that Access Hollywood has confirmed the news sadly, but details are still unknown.
I know people loved to make fun of her, but I always loved everything she did. I really think she had so much potential and was a lot like her character Tai in Clueless and was just waiting to blossom if only people would let her.
So take 90 minutes of your day and pay respects to an actress that was taken away from us way too soon and watch her in Clueless and or one of her many other movies.
My prayers go out to her mom whom she was very close to and her husband Simon Monjack, whom she married in May of 2007.
UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that her mom was the one discovered her in the shower.
UPDATE 2: Brittany Murphy’s publicist issued this statement according to CNN, “In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support. It is their wish that you respect their privacy.” Here is the new statement, “The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this time.”
UPDATE 3: AP is reporting that Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said it appears that she might’ve died of natural causes. TMZ is reporting that she was sick from flu-like symptoms for the last few days and was vomiting earlier today. They added an autopsy would be done either Monday to Tuesday. When it comes to the story of her husband not wanting her to have an autopsy, here is what Judiasm 101 says about them, “Autopsies in general are discouraged as desecration of the body. They are permitted, however, where it may save a life or where local law requires it. When autopsies must be performed, they should be minimally intrusive.”
Emily Blunt was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama, but the news wasn’t all happy for her. According to WENN she was left embarrassed because of a snide remark that Justin Timberlake made after he announced her to name to her fiance’ John Krasinski who was also announcing the noms. The singer said to The Office star after he read Emily’s name, “Ho, ho, ho, somebody is going to have a good night tonight.” Emily didn’t watch the announcement live and was horrified by Timberlake’s comments when she saw it later. She said, “My make-up artist sent me a text as I was sitting getting my hair done on set, so I found out that way. But when I saw that (footage with Timberlake), I was like, ‘His (Krasinski) mother has to watch that!'” I can’t blame her for being upset by his comments, they were uncalled for and went on too long. How we would like it if someone said that to him after they announced that Jessica Biel was nominated for some prestigious award. Oh wait we have seen her acting that is never going to happen.
To Emily, don’t worry about John’s mom she knows what Justin did at a Super Bowl game to Janet Jackson, so she won’t be taking him seriously. She is just happy her future daughter-in-law got a Golden Globe nomination and she can brag about it to all of her friends, “My future daughter-in-law got a Golden Globe nomination and what has yours done lately???”
I always wondered if any movie could ever top the Jason Biggs apple pie scene in American Pie, turns out it would take 6 more American Pie movies to do it. In American Pie 7: The Book of Love Rob does to a peanut butter sandwich what Jim did to an apple pie because Bret Michaels told him there was nothing better! Yeah the Rock of Love bachelor tells him his Poison is to f*ck a peanut butter sandwich and as you can see from the clip above, peanut butter plus a dog equals way funny and way wrong!
Just from watching that one scene from the latest American Pie movie, I can’t wait to buy it on Tuesday when it comes out! Plus the new Stifler played by John Patrick Jordan is so freaking cute!!!
BTW here is the trailer!!!
