Already a father of two, Levi Johnston will soon commit to just one. Woman, that is. The man best known for knocking up Bristol Palin will reportedly marry Sunny Oglesby this weekend. In early September, Johnston and Oglesby welcomed a daughter named Breeze Beretta into the world. Yes, she’s named after the Italian firearms manufacturer. Now, sources tell Us Weekly , they will take the step Levi was originally ordered by Sarah Palin planning to take with Bristol. They will walk down the aisle in Wasilla on Saturday or Sunday. It’s unclear if Johnston’s four-year old son, Tripp, will be in attendance, although it’s not unclear whether anyone else in the Palin clan will attend; they will not. Levi has clashed with the family over the years since splitting with Bristol, accusing the Palins of denying him time with his child. But, hey, Bristol congratulated Levi on the birth of Breeze. So maybe there’s hope for these crazy kids yet.
Are Giuliana and Bill Rancic planning another baby already? That’s the implication of the ” celebrity news ” tabloid below: Giuliana and Bill Rancic recently welcomed son Edward Duke, who was born via surrogate, after years of trying to conceive and encountering one setback after another. While it’s not unrealistic that the family-oriented duo would be “planning” another child, just how actively and specifically they’re doing so is subject to debate. More than likely, Life & Style is talking out of its … you know. The magazine also suggests that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel married in secret … days before they actually did marry in secret. So they got lucky there. Jack Osbourne and Lisa Stelly got hitched, too. That’s true. Lauren Conrad is not engaged, though. Come on people.
Miley Cyrus is still kinda exciting…in what is probably the least exciting possible way…you know she puts up pics of her pantsless…rockin’ her lesbian haircut with her friend who looks 11…pulling some hipter teen girl in her vintage clothes just wasting time…when really she should be pantsless in bootleg porn videos after burning through all her child star money like a real child star….but I take what I can get.
Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe played a crazily estranged couple in Lars von Trier ‘s erotic/thriller/surreal Antichrist in 2009. And now, Dafoe is set to return to Von Trier’s latest, Nymphomaniac along with Gainsbourg, Shia LaBeouf , Christian Slater , Stellan Skarsgard and Uma Thurman . Others are joining the cast, while one big name has pulled out. Nicole Kidman had been rumored as another possible addition to the cast, but she has more regal obligations and cannot join, according to THR. Kidman, who played the lead role in von Trier’s Dogville is currently busy playing Grace Kelly in Olivier Dahan’s Grace of Monaco . Dafoe, meanwhile, will play a supporting role in the two-part erotic Nymphomaniac , which will be released in both a hardcore and soft core version. Dafoe is currently in Hamburg, starring in Anton Corbijn’s drama A Most Wanted Man . Von Trier veteran Udo Kier, who has taken part in a number of von Trier’s films including his most recent Melancholia has also joined the cast along with French actor Jean-Marc Barr ( Dogville ), Caroline Goodall ( Schindler’s List ), Kate Ashfield ( Shaun of the Dead ), Saskia Reeves ( Butterfly Kiss ) and Danish actor Omar Shargawi ( R ). In the film, Gainsbourg stars as Jo, a self-described nymphomaniac who reveals her story to an older bachelor played by Stellan Skarsgard. Rumors have flown over the summer whether named actors would take part in sexually explicit scenes, though porn-star “stand-ins” have also been rumored to be engaged on camera. Shia LaBeouf fueled the rumor when he said he was ready to “go all the way” in Nymphomaniac . [ Source: THR ]
RZA is feeling good about his directorial debut, The Man with the Iron Fists . In this Behind-the-scenes featurette, the Wu-Tang Clan leader says he didn’t think he could top his musical work with the hip-hop group (or as a solo artist), which, he explains, led “to some of the greatest climaxes of my life.” Okay! But after teaming up with “my boy Quentin Tarantino” and Hostel director Eli Roth to ” make a fat joint of my own,” RZA proudly proclaims “I have topped it.” Related Story: Check out Movieline’s gallery of more than 20 images from The Man with the Iron Fists . The 43-year-old first-time filmmaker explains that The Man with the Iron Fists is the result of a fascination with kung-fu movies that began when he was 11 years old, and it sounds like he’s got a lot more ideas where this movie came from. He also explains that the movie’s soundtrack of hip hop and classic soul is meant to be integral to moviegoers’ enjoyment of the picture. You can just sit back, smoke one — if you smoke — and let the music flow. Here’s a preview of what to expect below. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
The Korean pop sensation that’s taken over the world has found its way to the set of Wolverine , where the tuxedoed Psy stopped by to teach star Hugh Jackman — wearing Wolverine’s adamantium claws — how to dance Gangnam Style. And I thought the Filipino prison dancers marked the jumping of the shark! Putting years of Broadway dance training to use, the enthusiastic Jackman seems to have picked up Psy’s signature pony move pretty quickly, which is impressive if you’ve watched every celebrity this side of Ellen Degeneres attempt the dance craze of the year. They even gave Psy his own Wolverine claws. Okay, that’s pretty cool. It’s even better if you imagine this as the character Wolverine meeting Psy and indulging in a lighthearted moment of cross-cultural glee before an epic battle to the death. Because Psy is clearly some sort of mutant being whose power is the ability to entrance strangers with his syncopated gyrations and that damnedly irresistible ditty. Slicing gangnam style!!!! Great to meet @ psy_oppa who visited set yesterday. twitter.com/RealHughJackma… — Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) October 16, 2012 Oh, how Wolverine laughs! Is it too late to turn Wolverine into a K-pop musical? [via @psy_oppa ]
They were two of the biggest movies in terms of box office this summer – and likely for all of 2012, yet the battle between The Dark Knight Rises and Marvel’s The Avengers opened a new front in the artistic sphere. TDKR made just over $1.07 billion worldwide (with a $250 million production budget), while Marvel’s The Avengers roared on with a $1.511 billion worldwide gross (and a production budget reportedly at $220 million). One cinematographer offered up his own impressions about the rival’s merits, calling it “appalling.” Wally Pfister won an Oscar for Inception as well as three nominations for Batman Begins , The Presige and The Dark Knight . He is even embarking on his own foray into the director chair on an upcoming project next year said that his past work as a news reporter and in documentary helped him to “reduce the amount of artifice” in his work. Though he has won recognition for his work with TDKR director Christopher Nolan on the Batman franchise, he admitted to not being much of a “super hero fan” and said his reaction was surprise when Nolan first approached him about doing Batman Begins . “I was like, really? A guy in a rubber suit?” Pfister is quoted as saying in the Herald-Tribune speaking to a film class in Sarasota, FL. He also gave his opinions on Marvel’s The Avengers , when asked what was most important in shooting a film. “What’s really important is storytelling. None of it matters if it doesn’t support the story,” said Pfister. “I thought The Avengers was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling.” Pfister, who along with Nolan has been steadfast advocate of film over digital, said The Prestige was his most “artistically fulfilling” and prefers TDKR among the Batman films. “I liked my work best in the last one, of course, because anything I felt I’d done wrong on each one, I’d right on the next one,” he said. He added that he’d “never say never” to any Batman 4 project. “I’m fortunate enough to have been successful enough that now I want to fulfill myself artistically. I guess I might do it right at the point where I had to sell my house.” His directorial debut is currently casting, but only gave a hint at details. “I can’t talk too much about it. It’s a present-day science fiction film, a fairly big concept. It’s bigger budget — not as big as Batman , but not independent. [ Sources: Herald-Tribune , Huffington Post , Box Office Mojo ]
Tom Cruise IS Jack Reacher, screams the poster and new trailer for the Lee Child action adaptation. Is Paramount reaching , or is Cruise more and more believable as the bad-ass army cop who drives fast and punches bad guys in the balls as he investigates a suspicious multiple murder case? This theatrical trailer for the Christopher McQuarrie-directed film (his first in the dozen years since Way of the Gun ) wisely chooses not to linger on extended scenes of Cruise beating up dozens of bad guys — not the easiest stretch of the imagination, despite his ability to do the same when playing Mission: Impossible ‘s Ethan Hunt. Sans ubercool gadgets and the metrosexual spy sheen of that franchise, Cruise has to work harder to pass for the brawling, cold-blooded ex-military loner of Child’s novels. Never mind that fans of the books are still grumbling that Cruise looks nothing like the ginormous 6’5″ blond antihero . Jack Reacher is now a Tom Cruise Movie, so all it really needs to be a hit with the masses is a good story to string together scenes of Cruise angsting his way from fight to car chase and beyond. Right? Jack Reacher ‘s secret weapon, however? Werner Herzog as a bad guy . Now that’s a brilliant stroke of casting that should make it well worth the price of admission. Jack Reacher is in theaters December 21. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Cemetery Gives Mourning Mother Wrong Baby’s Body For Burial A Memphis woman who gave birth to a stillborn baby was forced to endure additional distress when she was given the wrong baby to bury upon arriving at the cemetery. via News One Veronica Miller delivered a stillborn baby at 33 weeks and was given the wrong body to bury by Memphis’ Shelby County Cemetery, reports the Daily Mail. The county cemetery, which is a government-sponsored potter’s field for those who cannot afford the expenses of a burial, was was recommended to Miller by the hospital where she delivered her daughter Malaysia. “The hospital convinced me that this was a wonderful place for babies,” she told WMCTV. Yet when Miller went to visit the burial grounds, she discovered that it was far from what she had been told by hospital personnel. “I wouldn’t bury my dog there,” Miller lamented. “We saw markers that were scattered out, came out the ground. I mean, how would I identify that this is where my baby is at?” The young Mom then made the request to have her child’s body removed from the cemetery and turned over to a funeral director. Smh. That poor woman. Hopefully she was able to find somewhere to lay her baby to rest in peace. Image via Shutterstock
