Carrie Fisher Gives Her Vision For Princess Leia In New ‘Star Wars’

Carrie Fisher , aka Princess Leia, came out from under the heavens giving her hilariously light-hearted thoughts on the future of Star Wars and whatever came of Leia and Han Solo. Episode VII writer-apparent, Michael Arndt may want to take a peek at what Her Celestial Highness has to say about the character she first brought to the Galaxies way back in the late ’70s and a tidbit or two on where to go from here. One thing for sure, given the recent sale of Lucasfilm to that big time studio that asks its fans to Wish Upon a Star, Fisher knows her place. “I’m now a Disney Princess,” she said on CBS’ The Talk to laughter from the show’s hosts and the live audience Wednesday. “She’s never been gone. She’s been with me forever.” Arndt may have other ideas, but Fisher apparently sees Leia as married to you-know-who, but she would not be a domestic sort of spouse. “I like the idea of being Mrs. Solo and we just fought and fought and I killed him,” she joked. And perhaps alluding to a raging controversy today right here back on earth, Fisher offered up: “I probably even had an affair with some General.” Fisher and Luke Skywalker co-star Mark Hamill first learned of creator George Lucas’ intent to continue the Star Wars saga last summer after the celluloid siblings had lunch with him. Said Hamill: “…When he said, ‘We decided we’re going to do Episodes VII, VIII , and IX ,’ I was just gobsmacked. ‘What? Are you nuts?!’ [laughs] I can see both sides of it. Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that’s the way it should be…” Fisher did not hint at a return on The Talk , but after giving her two-cents on what might come next, she talked about her earthly mother, Debbie Reynolds, who recently was released from a hospital. “She’s fine,” she said, adding some details about some risqué banter she had with her 80 year-old mother after meeting with a doctor.

We Are Not Cool Enough for an Absolutely Fabulous Movie

Jennifer Saunders will begin scripting a feature version of her classic BBC series Absolutely Fabulous sometime next year, after she finishes work on the Spice Girls stage musical Viva Forever in London. Deadline reports that Ab Fab: The Movie will open with “Patsy and Edina waking up hungover in the empty drifting yacht of an oligarch in the middle of the ocean. Even worse, their cellphones can’t get a signal.” I’m torn — I want to be excited that the movie’s happening, but I can’t shake the paralyzing sadness of Ab Fab ‘s most recently aborted revival.

Carrie Fisher Reveals Weight Loss Secret …

Jenny Craig gets plenty of credit for Carrie Fisher’s weight loss – over 50 pounds in the past year – but without the psychiatric hospital Silver Hill in New Canaan, Conn., the actress says she never would have gotten her life back together. “They really did heal me. It’s the alma mater that matters,” she said . At Thursday’s Silver Hill Hospital gala in N.Y.C., she extolled the virtues of the 80-year-old facility, where she was treated for alcohol addiction and bipolar disorder. Fisher said that during her stay “there was a president at Silver Hill, I’m not kidding. He had really bad breath. I told people not to get down wind of the president.” She did not name said president, but did share some reflections on topping out at 180 pounds a year ago, and how much different she feels since that high mark. Of what how she looked and felt a year ago, she said, “You have that last gigantic meal, look in the mirror. None of your clothes fit, and … forget it.” “I have a lot of trouble [keeping the weight off],” admitted Fisher, who still hopes to lose 10 more. “I really have to be held down when I pass a 31 flavors.” She also exercises. A lot. “You do the treadmill first, which is this horrendous, evil thing,” she said. “And then you get on the elliptical for 30 to 52 minutes.”

Mr. Skin’s Blu-Ray Discoveries: Return of the Jedi [PICS]

Is nothing sacred, George Lucas ? As if he hasn’t done enough to destroy generations’ worth of goodwill from fanatical Star Wars fans by tinkering with his creations (and by creating Jar Jar Binks), our own Blu-ray Ninja has made a discovery that means George is officially dead to us. Femi Taylor plays slave dancer Oola in the sexiest of the Star Wars sagas, Episode VI: Return of the Jedi . When Femi is thrown into the pit in Jabba’s throne room and stands up to await her Rancorian doom, in the Blu-ray edition you can clearly see her nips through her mesh top (see above). Awesome, right? But don’t unsheathe your lightsaber just yet, young Jedi. In the scene immediately before, As Oola is struggling with Jabba, one breast pops out of her shirt. This ought to be a great peek at her Twi’lek tit, but our Blu-ray ninja has confirmed that the nipple has been digitally blurred out for the Blu-ray release. What’s the use of HD if you can’t use it to freeze-frame nip slips? There’s only one proper reaction to this sort of news. Find out what our Blu-ray ninja had to say about Carrie Fisher ‘s long-rumored slave Leia nip slip after the jump!

Just Another Video of Dominatrix Barbra Streisand Whipping Indiana Jones

We’ve already established this week’s Bad Movie We Love, The Main Event , as a benchmark of Barbra Streisand costuming. But what of this rare video — long-rumored and finally unearthed this week — of Babs dropping by the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , rocking a dominatrix outfit and whipping Harrison Ford for his recent cinematic transgressions? With Ford’s Empire Strikes Back collaborators Carrie Fisher and Irvin Kershner making cameos? Some are calling it a practical joke, but I call it a milestone .

Our Idiot Brother Review: We All Have One …

Our Idiot Brother is your typical dysfunctional family film, but one that also doubles as a heartwarming comedy. For the most part, Paul Rudd helps pull it off. As Ned, the only boy in a family full of sisters (Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer), Rudd Shines and the supporting cast is top notch. The film’s shortfall, though, is that it lacks real resonance. Our Idiot Brother never quite delivers the emotional or comedic punch you expect – and want – it to. It’s still worth checking out, and maybe you’ll disagree with that take. Watch the trailer below, then read Movie Fanatic’s fukll review of Our Idiot Brother … Our Idiot Brother Trailer

Watch the Lady Gaga Parody ‘X-Men: Born This Way’: Little Mutants for Little Monsters

Somehow, Lady Gaga’s uber-hyped single “Born This Way” made an impact here at Movieline. I encouraged the medium convergence, as the self-love-touting single could work as an anthem for many cinematic characters. Now, YouTube parodists have taken up that lead, mashing up Gaga’s song with X-Men: First Class ‘s mutant beginnings. You’ll remember that the movie and the original song are pretty much about the same thing , anyway. The first line alone will slay you.
