David and Courteney to Return to Scream! July 14, 2009

Filed under: Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Movie News — Alexandra @ 5:35 pm

Holy shit, one of my many, many dreams is coming true!

David Arquette and Courteney Cox will be reprising their roles as Officer Dewey and Gale Weathers in Scream 4 !!!

Arquette told E!’s Marc Malkin, “We are going to be doing Scream 4, Kevin Williamson is writing the script at this moment, and hopefully Wes Craven is going to direct.”

“I fell in love with my wife on Scream, so the opportunity to bring Dewey back to life and for my wife to play that really bitchy character again, it’s just going to be really fun,” Arquette said. “It’s just great.”

Williamson recently said that Neve Campbell turned down the chance to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott, but Arquette is holding out. “I hope Neve does it. I really hope so.”

Because, I mean really, what else has Neve done lately?

Filed under: Celeb Splits, Jessica Simpson, Tony Romo — Alexandra @ 3:20 pm

Yes. Word has spread that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have split.

Tony broke up with the pop star the night before her 29th birthday, according to a source to Jessica. Geez, what an asshole.

“She is heartbroken,” said the source. “She loves Tony. But it’s been difficult lately. He’s busy with his career and she’s getting ready to shoot her show The Price of Beauty. They decided to part ways.”

And there ya have it. Another one bites the dust.

Hopefully Jessica will find love again soon.

 

The Green Lantern Has Been Cast! July 12, 2009

Filed under: Movie News, Ryan Reynolds — Alexandra @ 12:02 pm

Reports circulated recently that Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Timberlake (whyyyy?!!?!?) were all considered for the role as the Green Lantern in the upcoming Warner Bros. film adaptation of the DC Comic.

But thankfully, people smartened up and realized that Justin sucks at acting.

Instead, Ryan has been cast, and shooting is said to begin sometime in January. Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Goldeneye) is set to be directing the flick.

And while I love love love me some Bradley Cooper, Ryan definitely has that superhero look to him.

Filed under: Lauren Conrad — Alexandra @ 11:57 am

Who would have thought that Lauren Conrad would emerge as a New York Times best selling author? But the girl once known as LC from Laguna Beach has done just that!

Lauren’s book, L.A. Candy, which is “loosely based” on her own life, is about a 19-year-old girl who moves to Hollywood and ends up as the star of her own reality show. And it has now topped the list for TWO weeks!

“If someone said to me five years ago when this all started that I would one day make the New York Times Best Seller list I wouldn’t have believed it,” Conrad told People exclusively. “I am so honored that it is now a reality.”

L.A. Candy first hit bookstores on June 16, and is the first of a three-book deal for the reality TV alum.

Jennifer Aniston Does a Good Deed! July 10, 2009

Filed under: Jennifer Aniston — Alexandra @ 5:53 pm

My girl Jennifer Aniston treated the cast and crew of her upcoming film The Bounty to a four-day 4th of July weekend.

The break began on Thursday, July 2, a day earlier than expected, and she actually paid for everyone’s salary so they could have off!

“Jen is such a genuinely good person,” said one crew member. “How many people in this world would pay for an entire movie set to have off for the day? Not just anyone does that. We’re talking big bucks.”

And that’s why I love her.

 

Jim Carrey to be a Grandpa!! July 9, 2009

Filed under: Jim Carrey — Alexandra @ 7:36 pm

No lie here! Jim Carrey is going to be a grandpa.

The 47-year-old told Us Weekly that his daughter Jane, 21, is expecting her first child with her fiance Alex Santana of the band Blood Money.

“I’m very excited,” Carrey told the mag. “Jane is going to be a great mom.”

Jane is the daughter of Carrey and his ex-wife Melissa Womer.

This is all a bit weird to me. Not because I’m the same age as his daughter, but because I grew up on Jim Carrey movies and find him ridiculously attractive (don’t judge me – he makes me laugh). I can’t believe he’s gonna be a grandpa.

But congrats are in order nonetheless! He will make a fantastic grandfather!

 

That’s What She Said… July 8, 2009

“I’m working toward being a respected actress. Meryl Streep is it for me. You don’t play villains unless you’re Sharon Stone when you’re blond and you look a certain way. I think it would be exciting for me to play the bad guy in a movie. It would be a blast. I think it’s so much fun to play bad.”

Lohan Turned Down Role in “The Hangover!” July 8, 2009

Filed under: Celebrity Stupid, Lindsay Lohan — Alexandra @ 9:38 am

What an ass.

Us Weekly is reporting that Lindsay Lohan turned down the role of stripper Jade, which eventually went to Heather Graham, because the screenplay “had no potential.”

Director Todd Philips approached Lohan to star in the movie after their mutual agent campaigned on the “actress’” behalf, but she turned it down.

The movie has currently raked in $205 million. I bet Lindsay is kicking herself now.
