Tom Cruise will not be walking the red carpet in Pittsburgh tonight. Paramount has announced that it’s delayed the official premiere of Jack Reacher in that city, out of respect for the unspeakable events of the Connecticut shooting in Newtown yesterday. Jack Reacher Trailer Said the studio in a statement: “Due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken, we are postponing tomorrow’s Pittsburgh premiere of ‘Jack Reacher.’ Our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones.” New information continues to come in regarding the massacre, but Adam Lanza is believed to have shot and killed 27 people at Sandy Hook Elementary school, most of whom were children and teachers. Jack Reacher , meanwhile, was filmed in Pittsburgh and features Cruise as a violent character created by author Lee Child. It opens on December 21.
Ryan Lanza is already grieving and no doubt floored by the deaths of his brother, Adam Lanza, their mother Nancy and the 26 other people Adam killed yesterday. As if that weren’t enough to process, he was erroneously named as the man responsible for the Connecticut shooting by overzealous media outlets at first. Many TV news outlets and websites were scrambling after reporting Ryan Lanza, 24, was the shooter, even though state and federal officials did not confirm this. It is now believed that Adam Lanza , 20, had an ID of Ryan’s on him, leading to the initial confusion. But for Ryan, it made for an interesting few hours at work. Ryan, 24, has worked at Ernst & Young in New Jersey for four years, following in the footsteps of his father, a former partner in the large accounting firm. Ryan was at work yesterday and not a suspect in the case for even an instant, but news outlets claimed his killed 26 people in Newtown, Conn. Some even splashed his photo on screen. Not surprisingly, he was inundated with posts, texts and calls, after which someone began posting on his Facebook page (presumably Ryan) that he is NOT the killer. Because he was not involved whatsoever, it’s unclear if he realized his brother was involved at the time the media was initially reporting the story. NBC, one of, if not the first to report Ryan’s involvement, later said that an ID bearing his name on Adam’s person made them believe Ryan Lanza was the culprit. Not the case, clearly. In any case, it’s the last thing Ryan and Peter Lanza care about now. They are said to be “in shock” over what happened, much like the rest of the nation and world. Both spoke to the FBI in Hoboken, N.J., but “are not suspects, they have no involvement ,” a source says. Ryan, the source adds, is as clean as they come. The Lanza brothers’ parents are divorced, and Adam lived with mother Nancy in the same town where the massacre – one of the worst in U.S. history – took place. It is believed the guns used were registered in her name. The first Adam Lanza photos were released to the media last night, along with a portrait of a young man whose troubles apparently went unrecognized. “It looks like there’s mental history there,” a law enforcement source says.
Former Bachelorette lovebirds Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez recently split up after an 18-month engagement, but may be back together just like that. They allegedly hooked up at Ashley Hebert’s wedding. Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum married in Pasadena, Calif. on December 1, with fellow reality stars Ali and Roberto in attendance, among many others. One witness says the attractive two were “inseparable.” Indeed, Roberto moved tables just to sit next to Ali. “They started talking again a month ago,” a pal says. Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez split in November 2011; the duo first connected on the sixth season of The Bachelorette in 2010, with him winning. They allegedly left together and hooked up that night, although even if that’s true, it doesn’t necessarily mean a reconciliation is in the future for them. Says the source, “Chances of them getting back together are slim, but they had a great time that night.” Guess sometimes, one last hurrah is all you need.
LeAnn Rimes capped off an interesting week by giving some fans more than they expected while appearing at Wednesday’s NOH8 anniversary event. Hey, at least that’ll shift the conversation away from Brandi Glanville . LeAnn Rimes Nip Slip Eddie Cibrian’s better half unwittingly suffered a nip slip while attending the Hollywood soiree on behalf of the pro-equality and anti-bullying organization. Talk about showing her support … and yet needing more support. On the bright side, it did nothing to overshadow LeAnn’s attendance at the worthwhile event, and the Anne Hathaway crotch shot was totally way worse.
