When you first wept through the Jack and Jill trailer , you probably figured that Al Pacino’s role as Al Pacino would just be a brief cameo. He falls for Adam Sandler in drag at a Lakers game and sends her a hot dog with his phone number squirted in mustard. Classic meat cute! Judging by a few new clips from the Razzie front runner though, Al Pacino co-stars in multiple scenes as Jill’s overeager love interest.

Bossip had a Todd Bridges sighting at Tuesday night’s premiere of “Madison County” in LA: One of horror’s most highly-anticipated films, Madison County made its world premiere as a marquee presentation during ScreamFest 2011. Madison County is a horror film about a group of college kids that travel to a remote, mountain town called Madison County, to interview the author of a tell-all book on the accounts of the grisly murders that happened in the town over two decades before. Upon their arrival, the author is nowhere to be found and the townspeople state that they haven’t seen him in years. They also deny that Damien Ewell, the notorious murderer, ever existed and that the murders ever happened. Bridges revealed to Bossip.com exclusively that he is busy writing a follow-up to his explosive best-selling book, “Killing Willis” for a target release date in early June 2012 when he returns to the big screen in Adam Sandler’s “I Hate You, Dad.” We’re proud to see Todd doing so well now that he’s off that stuff. Keep up the good work homie.
“A year ago we took a trip to Sequoia National Park. I wanted to excite my daughter while being in such amazing surroundings. Being the Star Wars geek that I am (so is she), I told her that this is where the Ewoks live. Maybe I’m a little wrong for lying to her and falsifying the pictures, but I don’t care. She’ll never forget the time she spent in the big woods with Ewoks.” George Lucas would no doubt be appalled . [ Wired via BuzzFeed ]
Haters gonna hate, but really. Come on. Tell me this new poster for Adam Sandler’s twin-sibling comedy Jack and Jill isn’t coaxing you into the pillowy bosom of anticipation. Tell me its nuanced, dulcet comic strains don’t seductively sing from the page — that you do not tumble under the influence of Sandler’s masculine grimace and toothy distaff gape, or that those hormonal pangs stirring within are attributable to anything besides the provocative tagline. Tell me your pen doesn’t slip through quivering, perspiring fingers as it notes that singular release date on every calendar in the house, or that when those calendars have expired at year’s end, the vacant wall space left behind will not be stuffed with the engorged genius of Sandler’s marketing muscle. Go ahead. I’m waiting.
Wow. Just wowwwwwww . When it was announced last year that Adam Sandler would play his own twin sister in the comedy Jack and Jill , it seemed like a joke — specifically, the type that Sandler and Judd Apatow made about the star’s career in Funny People . Only, it’s not a joke; Jack and Jill is real, and it’s got the craziest trailer you’ll see all summer.
Composer David Arnold this week reaffirmed his interest in having Amy Winehouse contribute the vocals to the next James Bond theme song, which Arnold will assist in writing for Sam Mendes’s untitled 007 film set to shoot this fall. It’s a natural inclination considering the singer’s vintage ’60s style and tone (assuming you want to go vintage; there’s always the Duran Duran or Chris Cornell route, I guess), but then there’s that minor problem of Winehouse being unshakably strung out on booze and/or drugs. Plan B might be in order. That’s where you come in.
A funny thing about low-hanging fruit: it’s easy to pick! As such, it’s not surprising that critics are piling on the latest Kevin James vehicle, Zookeeper . The “comedy” sports an impressively poor 14 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, worse even than previous summer punching bags Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer and Green Lantern . Ahead, the nine best of the worst reviews.
Yesterday, tragedy struck the production of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in the form of leaked stills depicting Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) consummating their relationship between the sheets. Movieline wondered whether the raciness of the images might actually win the franchise more fans but it appears the production team isn’t willing to take that risk.
