By James Montgomery My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero Photo: Gary Miller/ FilmMagic Sure, his good pal Jay-Z may be a part-owner of the New Jersey Nets, and teams like the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers can also offer him pretty sweet deals. But if LeBron James signs with the New York Knicks, he’ll get free My Chemical Romance tickets for life. Yes, in a move sure to anger Cleveland Cavaliers fans — and lift the deflated hopes of Knicks supporters everywhere — MCR guitarist (and Knicks superfan) Frank Iero took to his Twitter account Sunday in an attempt to lure James, who can opt out of his deal with the Cavs this summer, to Madison Square Garden, where he will presumable resurrect the once-proud Knickerbocker franchise and bring them their first championship in nearly 40 years. “I would like to sweeten the deal & offer LeBron free MCR tix for life if he decides to play for the Knicks next year,” , before adding the hashtag

‘20,000 Leagues Under The Sea’ Films Being Prepped By Two Studios

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

David Fincher is in talks with Disney, while ‘Wanted’ helmer Timur Bekmambetov may direct for Fox. By Adam Rosenberg David Fincher Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty Images Two competing undersea voyages are being prepped for Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” One belongs to Disney, with “The Social Network” director David Fincher in talks to helm and “Bourne Ultimatum” writer Scott Z. Burns pegged to develop the script. Elsewhere in Hollywood, Fox is prepping its own adventure with Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus; sibling filmmakers Ridley and Tony Scott will produce and Timur Bekmambetov (“Wanted”) is in talks to direct. The classic sci-fi/adventure novel was on the fast track for a McG-directed Disney adaptation until late last year, when the “Terminator Salvation” helmer departed after the project was put on hold indefinitely. The Hollywood Reporter ‘s Heat Vision blog reveals that Fincher approached the studio’s new production head, Sean Bailey, some weeks ago about the project. Fox’s project is further along, as Heat Vision blog also reports that Fincher and Burns have yet to finalize any deals. The Scotts are working with “Clash of the Titans” co-writer Scott Beacham now on developing a script. Bekmambetov isn’t confirmed, but given that Disney doesn’t yet have a script nailed down, Fincher will likely direct another film before he dives down “Under the Sea.” There are no concerns over the rights to adapting “20,000 Leagues” because it’s in the public domain; anyone can work with it. The tone of Disney’s take is unknown, but it is believed that the Fox version would shift from a period setting to a futuristic one. It’s worth noting that this bears a resemblance to another adaptation that Bekmambetov has spoken about, a complete with a supernaturally talented whale and psychic-powered whalers.

Shia LaBeouf Admits He Didn’t Like ‘Indiana Jones’ Sequel

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved,’ actor says, days after dissing ‘Transformers’ sequel. By Adam Rosenberg Shia LaBeouf at the “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” photocall at Cannes on Friday Photo: Lorenzo Santini/FilmMagic Were you one of the many “Indiana Jones” fans left disappointed by the 2008 outing “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”? You’re not alone: Star Shia LaBeouf counts himself among the haters. The actor, who only last week told gathered reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he “wasn’t impressed” with last summer’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” made some equally frank statements over the weekend about his contribution to the Harrison Ford-starring action/adventure series. “I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished,” he said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, who directed]. But the actor’s job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn’t do it. So that’s my fault. Simple.” Perhaps most refreshing about the actor’s comments is his respect for the audience. LaBeouf is aware of the perception that’s out there and he’s not afraid to address it directly. “I think the audience is pretty intelligent. I think they know when you’ve made [crap],” he said. “And I think if you don’t acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you’re promoting a movie?” It’s an unusual display of honesty in an industry that is typically driven by studios and publicists fighting hard to control their message. “I’ll probably get a call,” LaBeouf said. “But [Spielberg] needs to hear this. I love him. I love Steven. I have a relationship with Steven that supersedes our business work. And believe me, I talk to him often enough to know that I’m not out of line. And I would never disrespect the man. I think he’s a genius, and he’s given me my whole life. He’s done so much great work that there’s no need for him to feel vulnerable about one film. But when you drop the ball you drop the ball.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Kylie Minogue in the March Issue of Women & Home magazine.

Posted on May 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kylie Minogue dazzles in the March issue of Women & Home magazine. The Aussie songbird gets personal with the lifestlye mag, opening up about men, how she relaxes and what she wears to bed! Kylie on what she does to relax: “I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It’s a wonderful indulgence and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running overtime. It’s has much the knowledge that you can do it as the act of doing it. Peace and tranqulitiy. God. I sound like a new age spa voiceover! But it really is a way to escape.” Kylie on what she wears to bed: “Ooh, that all depends! That’s all I’ll say!” Kylie on whether it’s important for her man to be “domesticated”: “It sure helps. Not that I can talk, as I don’t want any rossettes in the kitchen. I always say my talent lay in other areas. I am also pretty handy with technical stuff, which might come as a surprise. My brother bequeathed his tool kit to me when he moved back to Australia from London. This being an act of such love and importance — as we know how men are with their tool kits — I have taken the responsibility as owner very seriously!”

Charlotte Lewis Alleges Sexual Abuse By Roman Polanski

Posted on May 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

British actress Charlotte Lewis has come forward to say legendary filmmaker Roman Polanski, 76, sexually abused her over 25 years ago, when she was only 16. This was four years after he fled the U.S. to avoid sentencing on charges that he unlawfully had sex with a minor (statutory rape), a legal fight he is still waging. Lewis, who co-starred with Eddie Murphy in The Golden Child , was front and center at (of course) a Gloria Allred news conference yesterday to tell her story. Lewis and Allred met with L.A. County Deputy D.A. David Walgren this week to make the allegations, which coincide with decades-old efforts to sentence Polanski.
