I was traveling all day as Movieline’s report from the Savannah Film Festival picked up steam around the blogosphere, but early on it was clear that two polar-opposite reactions were building in response to Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer’s comments about his studio’s well-publicized (at least, outside of the studio) recent flops. Either you love his blazing moment of candor — because we’ve all thought the same about most, if not all, of the woeful Universal films mentioned — or you despise what he stands for. But Meyer is a businessman, the President and COO of one of the largest movie studios and theme park conglomerates in the business. Should more filmmakers and studio heads follow suit?

Today’s rumor is that Amanda Seyfried is taking yet another role from Lindsay Lohan, her co-star in Mean Girls…and hat is amazing…because a few years ago when I used to talk to Lohan, I sent her a text about how amazing Seyfried was when I found out abou Seyfried, and Lohan wrote back something mean spirited. That phone is long gone, those messages are too, but the fact Lohan hates this hot, willing to get naked, talent I want to give a sponge bath to with my tongue makes Seyfried all the more relevant, amazing, lovely to me…not that that is even possible….which is so weird for me because I am so used to hating everything….. Here she is with Timberlake at their movie premiere….with her great tits in a tight dress and all… On a sidenote – Here are some picutres of Lohan’s great tits in a dress leaving court today – a free woman……and the whole thing is boring and doesn’t deserve a post of her own cuz she’s fucking garbage and Amanda Seyfried’s her replacement….
Michael Bay is known for a few things: Barking orders on set, casting (and some might say , verbally abusing his) curvy female leads and explosions! Gloriously explosive explosions that give his testosterone-fueled blockbusters that certain je ne sais quoi-splosion. But just how many explosions has the filmmaker directed? A brilliant infographic from the good folks at Frankenspace.com breaks it down and displays the answer below.
Weezy-featuring ‘The Motto’ and T.I.’s ‘Headlines’ freestyle unveiled on L.A. radio Monday. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne and Drake Photo: Getty Images With just two weeks until he releases his sophomore album, Take Care, Drake blessed fans in L.A. with new music when he debuted “The Motto” (featuring Lil Wayne) and T.I.’s version of “Headlines” on Power 106 Monday night. “The Motto” is believed to be Take Care ‘s last bonus track , though a track list on Zune’s website has the song as “Untitled.” Regardless of where it will end up and how it will be placed, the Weezy-assisted song is equipped with a deep rolling bass and staccato drums — a real party starter. From the first few bars, Drake throws it up for his YMCMB fam and responds to Luther Campbell’s claim that non-Miami natives Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled should pay tithes of some sort considering that they now live in the city. Drake throws a not-so-subtle nod to the 2 Live Crew legend’s jabs spitting, “Tell Uncle Luke I’m out in Miami too/ Clubbin’ hard, f—in’ women, there ain’t much to do/ Wrist bling, got a condo up on Biscayne … ain’t sh– change.” Drake also pays homage to late Vallejo, California, rapper Mac Dre , who was gunned down seven years ago Tuesday (November 1). “I’m in the building and I’m feeling myself, rest in peace Mac Dre/ I’mma do it for the Bay, OK,” Drizzy respectfully spits. For the final verse, Wayne utilizes his usual free-associative rhyme pattern with lines like “Talk stupid, off with ya head/ N—a money talks and Mister Ed” and “Ain’t sh– sweet, n—as on the streets like hookers.” For his second premiere of the night, Drake unveiled T.I.’s “Headlines” freestyle. As soon as the beat drops, T.I. makes the beat his own, adding an original flow to the popular beat. “I ball all night, go hard all day, fall deep up in your broad all day,” he starts off his verse. “I liked the record and it was spazzin’, and I felt like, ‘Let’s see what I can add to it,” T.I. told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway about his version of “Headlines” when he visited his “Sway in the Morning” radio show on Shade 45 in October. Since being released from prison in September, T.I. has gotten on a number of high-profile rap songs like Future’s “Magic,” the Throne’s “N—as in Paris” and now Drake’s “Headlines,” and while each freestyle has been well-received, Tip admits that he wasn’t exactly commissioned to jump on the tracks. “None of these people approached me. I did it and got with them [after] and let them know that I did it.” What do you think of Drake’s “The Motto” with Lil Wayne, and T.I.’s “Headlines” freestyle? Tell us in the comments!

[VIDEO] Kim Kardashian Filing For Divorce After 72 Days Of Marriage!
We take a look back at soon-to-be-divorced couple’s whirlwind courtship and marriage. By Jocelyn Vena and Christina Garibaldi Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian on August 17, 2011 in Hollywood, California Photo: Jason LaVeris/ WireImage After a $10 million wedding, a TV special, 72 days of marriage and several weeks of speculation about a split, Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from her husband off less than three months, Kris Humphries, citing “irreconcilable differences.” “After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision,” Kardashian told MTV News in a statement about the headline-making divorce. “I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.” So how did Kim and Kris go from falling in love overnight to an even faster falling-out? Well, let’s take a look back at the whirlwind romance: October 31, 2010 : Exactly one year before she filed for divorce, Kim was spotted sitting courtside at her soon-to-be boyfriend’s basketball game. A few days later, they made their first public appearance together in New York. January 1, 2011 : By the time New Year’s Day hit, the romance heated up and Kim was feeling comfortable enough with her new beau to tweet a photo of a young Kris with the message “I want my son to look like this!” January 23, 2011 : Even though it was pretty obvious the two were dating, Kim told MTV News she was still very much single. “I never have been single in my life,” she said. “So [after] getting married as a teenager and then getting into a relationship, each lasting like four years, after that, something inside of me, I just felt like I wanted to be single.” Kim’s Cover Up: How The Tabloids Got It Right February 5, 2011 : Kris and Kim stepped out to celebrate his 26th birthday. Just two months later, they took their relationship to the next level when he traveled with the rest of the Kardashian clan to Bora Bora for a family vacation. May 18, 2011 : Just seven months after meeting, Kim and Kris got engaged after he slipped a 20.5-carat, $2 million ring on her finger. “I didn’t expect this at all,” Kardashian said of the proposal, which included Humphries writing out “Will You Marry Me?” in rose petals in her bedroom. “I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now.” June 8, 2011 : Kim’s family was just as shocked as the rest of us about the upcoming wedding. “We were totally surprised. I mean, because I had been working so much, and Kris lives in New Jersey, I’ve only met him not even a handful of times,” Khlo
Sure, it’s a tough sell. But Anonymous has plenty going for it both behind the camera (director Roland Emmerich and screenwriter John Orloff posit the legitimacy of Shakespeare) and in front of it as well, where a sterling cast including Rhys Ifans , David Thewlis, Mark Rylance and the estimable mother-daughter combo of Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson — playing Queen Elizabeth I some 40 years apart — dig into the historical, political and romantic intrigues with relish.
(Originally published August 17, 2011) Tony Todd , the star of Final Destination 5, is on his way to visit his hometown of Washington D.C. on a sunny August morning, and hasn’t a care in the world. While audiences know Todd for his role in the 1992 cult classic Candyman , he is a classically trained thespian whose roots started in theater. Born into poverty to a single mother in 1954, Todd first fell into acting as a teenager since–as he puts it– “I wasn’t any good at basketball.” After 22 years in the game, and over 150 acting credits under his belt, Todd has carved out an impressive and enviable career—not bad for a geeky 6’5 teenager from Chocolate City. The Urban Daily chatted with Todd about his return as William Bludworth in the newest Final Destination movie, his iconic role in Candyman , and the current state of the horror film genre. TUD: Tell us about the plot of Final Destination 5. Tony Todd: We have a new cast of young people with tragic demises and I have more than one scene. I like doing more than one scene, I like continuity (laughs) . There are a few theories going around as to who your character, Bludworth really is—one theory is that he’s death incarnate. What do you say to that? I think that’s too much of an easy choice, I mean how can you be death incarnate when you’re only in the movie for five minutes? Actually someone came up to me and said maybe Bludworth had cheated death himself. I’ve never personally accepted he was the angel of death, or the emissary of death. Just a very unpopular guy. Why do you think the Final Destination franchise has remained so popular? Because it’s the perfect date movie. Everybody loves a horror story because it’s a roller coaster ride –you wait for the slow ride to the top then speed down with all the bumps, twists and turns. If you’re a smart person, you bring your date and for every bump that goes on, you squeeze a little closer. I think Final Destination is singularly responsible for more births in America in the last 10 years than any other movie. You might be on to something there. I know I’ve done the research. I interview people when they leave the theatre, and when they see me they’re like “Oh my God!” That really freaks them out! Final Destination movies are known for their graphic death scenes. Which ones are the most memorable to you? Well I’m a big fan of the first movie, because that was the template. Jeffrey Reddick, the creator of this franchise, is a genius. In Final Destination 5 , the bridge collapse sequence is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Audiences still remember you from the Candyman movies. Do people still stop you in the street about that role? Candyman is almost 20 years old and not a single day goes by when someone doesn’t stop me in the street. It was a great role and one of the greatest experiences in my life. Have your kids seen Candyman ? They didn’t watch it until they were well into their teens. True story—When Candyman first came out, my daughter and I were Christmas shopping, and people were harassing us. Finally my daughter puts down her shopping bag and said “That’s not Candyman! That’s my dad!” I will never forget that, because that’s when we really bonded. Let’s talk a little about your background. When you were growing up, which actors or actresses did you look up to or admire? When I was a kid I really loved Humphrey Bogart. But when I was in theater school, Robert DeNiro was my go-to guy. I like good actors like Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman. I grew up a poor kid to a single mom, so as an African-American actor I have a responsibility to hold the mirror up and reflect our stories. I’m living the dream and also escaped the inevitable. Your first lead role in a movie was in the remake of Night of The Living Dead . Your character in that movie has historical significance, as the original was the first horror movie to cast an African-American (Duane Jones) in the lead role. What are you memories about being cast in that project? I actually saw the original while I was studying to be an actor, and watching Duane Jones I thought “Good, there’s hope.” When I heard they were casting for the remake I ran to the casting office and told them they had to let me audition. I think they already had someone in mind, but the casting director took a chance on me and gave me the job. It was my first leading role and my son was born around that same time. It was a chance to play a hero, so I was very appreciative. We shot the movie in Washington, Pennsylvania, singularly the most racist place in America. The beautiful thing is all these people were lining up to play zombies, and if I wasn’t an actor, they wouldn’t have anything to do with me. You also do a lot of voice-over work as well. How did you fall into that? When I was younger, I wanted to do Disney movies but I could never get a role. When I finally got a part in Transformers 2 I called my daughter and told her “Honey, I’m gonna be a Transformer!” and she said “Grow up Dad!” But it paid her tuition, so there you go! What are your thoughts on the current state of the horror genre, and should actors of color be more open-minded to doing these types of movies? Television is dying because of the influx of reality shows, so I think smart horror movies like “Final Destination” area great thing because it makes people think. I’m not a fan of torture for torture’s sake. That’s why you’ll never see me in Saw. I think young African-American filmmakers and actors need to hold their heads up and know if a project is meant for them, they’ll get it.
