They had a very good run, but “the end is near” for George Clooney and Stacy Keibler , according to a report in Us Weekly . The couple has been together for a year-and-a-half, but their contrasts are starting to play a negative factor, an insider claims, saying the Oscar winner and former WWE Diva ” have little in common ” and explaining: “She likes to go out and have fun. She’s been feeling the age difference.” Moreover, another source adds, Clooney’s friends aren’t major fans of Keibler. It’s unclear why, but this mole can see the break-up writing on the very attractive way. “It’s a matter of time.” If that’s the case, we somehow doubt it will take either party very long to find a new suitor. Call us, Stacy.
Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones has been tapped to perform “Everybody Needs a Best Friend” from the 2012 feature Ted , Oscar telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said Monday. This will be Jones’ first time performing for the Oscar ceremony. The song, which is nominated for an Original Song Oscar, contains lyrics by Ted writer-director Seth MacFarlane with music by Walter Murphy. “I had such a great time recording this song with Seth, and was thrilled to find out that it was nominated for an Oscar,” said Jones in a statement. “Getting to perform it at such a prestigious event, which my friend is hosting, is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Jones hit the world stage with the 2002 release of her debut “Come Away With Me,” which sold more than 10 million copies and earned her five Grammy Awards. follow-ups include successful solo albums – “Feels Like Home” (2004), “Not Too Late” (2007), “The Fall” (2009), and “Little Broken Hearts” (2012) – as well as two albums with her country collective, The Little Willies. The 2010 compilation “…Featuring Norah Jones” included collaborations with an array of artists such as Willie Nelson, Outkast, Herbie Hancock and Foo Fighters. Jones’s songs have been featured many times on motion picture soundtracks, and she made her feature film acting debut in My Blueberry Nights in 2007. The 2013 Oscar telecast will take place Sunday, February 24 in Hollywood, hosted by Seth MacFarlance. Everybody Needs A Best Friend Lyrics: My words are lazy My thoughts are hazy But this is one thing I’m sure of Everybody needs a best friend I’m happy I’m yours You got a double Who brings you trouble And though you’re better without me Everybody needs a best friend I’m happy I’m yours A fool could see decidedly That you’re a ten and I’m a three A royal brie is what you need So how did you come to be stuck with a bummer like me Oh you got a headful of someone dreadful But have that someone who adores you Everybody needs a best friend I’m happy I’m yours A fool could see decidedly That you’re a ten and I’m a three A royal brie is what you need So how did you come to be stuck with a bummer like me Oh you got a headful of someone dreadful And yet lest that someone who adores you Everybody needs a best friend I’m happy I’m yours
From yester-year – in this case, 1952 – to tomorrow, Disney is so far only offering a glimpse into Brad Bird ‘s live-action feature in the form of a new title. Previously known as 1952 , the studio said it will now be titled Tomorrowland , just like the land meant to be a peak into the future. Tomorrowland was one of the five “original lands” that debuted with the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California in 1955. George Clooney will star in the film, which Damon Lindelof ( Prometheus ) and Bird co-wrote and is slated for a mid-December 2014 release. Home to famed attractions, Space Mountain and Star Tours, perhaps Tomorrowland holds secrets about the film version of its namesake. But the studio is maintaining a shroud of mystery though throwing out tidbits. Its official announcement follows: The Walt Disney Studios has announced that its live-action release previously known as 1952 will be titled Tomorrowland. The film will be released domestically on December 19, 2014. George Clooney ( The Descendants ) is set to star. Tomorrowland is written by Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird from a concept by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen. Lindelof ( Star Trek , Lost , Prometheus ) will produce and Bird ( The Incredibles , Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol ) will produce and direct. Disney attractions have begat Disney blockbusters through the years. Longtime classic ride Pirates of the Caribbean of course morphed into a long-running franchise that has starred Johnny Depp worth billions and Guillermo del Toro is working on a second installment of the Haunted Mansion , which first hit theaters in 2003. Classic mountaintop attraction, the Matterhorn in Disneyland’s Fantasyland is said to be the basis for a project titled The Hill . [ Source: THR ]
Now that Disney has announced that the Brad Bird / Damon Lindelof project originally known as 1952 will officially be called Tomorrowland (and that George Clooney will star), I simply must share my fever-dream theory that this movie will be about early space travel. Note that I wrote “could.” Like everyone else out there, I’m speculating based on a handful of clues that Bird and Lindelof have released into the atmosphere: the movie’s title, and the contents of the banker’s box marked “1952” that Lindelof allegedly discovered at Disney. Last week, Bird tweeted a photo of what was in the box: some yellowed photos, a film reel and what looks like a 45 record. An eagle-eyed blogger at Ain’t It Cool News also spied what it’s reporting is the August 1928 cover of Amazing Stories comics peaking through the clutter. The website notes that that particular issue contains the first-ever Buck Rogers story to appear in any media. (The character’s name was Anthony Rogers initially. He’d become the more manly Buck the following year.) The Buck Rogers storyline is interesting, and, actually, it’s not antithetical to my theory, but if the comic does play a role in the plot of Tomorrowland , there’s another story contained within that fits more appropriately with the movie’s official title. The cover of that particular issue of Amazing Stories illustrates the beginning serialization of “The Skylark of Space,” a story by Edward E. “Doc” Smith that, in the 1940s, eventually became a novel of the same name, and is considered an early and influential story about space travel that’s right up there with the work of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. The “Skylark of Space” is about a scientist who discovers how to harness a newly discovered element “X” for space travel at the speed of light. Now consider this: When Tomorrowland opened as a future-themed section of Disneyland in 1955, the centerpiece exhibit was the 76-foot tall TWA Moonliner rocketship (below right) that was built with the help of the “Father of Rocket Science” Werner Von Braun, who designed the German V-2 rockets that were used in World War II and, after the war, went to work for NASA, where he engineered the Saturn V rocket that took the Apollo astronauts to the moon. The TWA Moonliner was an early, Disneyfied iteration of America’s space dreams: a collaboration of Disney Imagineering and Von Braun’s scientific mind that envisioned what a commercial spacecraft to the moon would look like. (It was a far cry from the spider-like Lunar Module that eventually did take men to the moon in 1969.) The speculation around the casting of Clooney is that he’ll play Walt Disney, which makes a lot of sense, but if you look at pictures of Von Braun, The Descendants star could easily play Werner as vell. (Speaking of rocket scientists, I can’t get a clear enough bead on the top-most photo in that banker’s box but the bald guy standing next to Walt Disney looks like Robert H. Goddard, who is credited with building the first liquid-fueled rocket. Then again, if the photo was taken in 1952, it can’t be Goddard. He died in 1945.) So, what would the plot be, you ask? Well, if Tomorrowland and the Amazing Stories issue are both valid clues, then, I’m thinking, the movie is a mix of history and science fiction where the TWA Moonliner goes on an actual trip into space in 1952 before being parked at the theme park. Can’t you see the shot of the ship having just returned to Earth after some white-knuckle re-entry scenes, morphing into a shot of the rocket surrounded by tourists at Disneyland? I can. I can also see Howard Hughes, who owned TWA at the time, and other real-life figures playing roles in the movie. Okay, you heard my theory. Now tell me yours before the movie opens on Dec. 14, 2014, but hurry. I’ll be going to moon — bang-zoom!— a lot sooner than that. [ Ain’t It Cool News , Brad Bird ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

I blame that jerk George Clooney, but it seems like it’s been forever since we’ve seen Stacy Keibler in anything other than workout gear or a classy dress. Well, our long wait is finally over, because here’s a picture of Stacy wearing a bikini in the Dead Sea. Granted, she’s covered in mud as opposed to baby oil like I’d prefer, but at this point, I’ll take what I can get. Enjoy.

We the People of the United States…are some weird dudes. A clever but clearly tongue-in-cheek petition to build a Star Wars -style Death Star isn’t the only petition that’s been started on the Obama administration’s much-debated We The People website. That’s the place where ordinary citizens can log in and lobby for change. When a petition registered on the site gets 25,000 signatures, the administration issues an official response to it, which, you might guess, means that there are quite a few wackadoo proposals on the site. In addition to the Death Star proposal, which needs more than 21,000 signatures before its Dec. 14 deadline, there is also a petition started by “Sean M” of San Francisco that seeks to establish a “new legal system of motorcycle riding ‘Judges’ who serve as police, judge, jury, and executioner all in one.” If you saw Dredd 3D or are a fan of Judge Dredd comics, you’ll get the reference. If you’re like me, you’ll also start thinking of Karl Urban riding in formation with leather-clad Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg who also know how to scowl effectively. And for you gamer fans, nathan p of Columbus, Ohio has petitioned the administration to build a statue of Halo hero Master Chief on the White House lawn, noting: “He deserves more praise for what he has done.” Compared to those last two petitions, the Death Star proposal at least has some satirical bite, nothing that its construction will “spur job creation…and strengthen our national defense.” It could also boost Disney’s stock. It will be interesting to see if any of these petitions makes their 25,000-signature deadlines, which all fall at the end of next week. As of this posting, the Master Chief statute proposal is in the lead with more than 4,700 signatures, and Halo fans are a passionate breed. This could get interesting.

Sorry, unborn child: not even you can get in the way of Megan Fox being hot. A pair of new photos have emerged from a shoot this new mother starred in on behalf of the Sharper Image in April. Yes, ladies, don’t hate on her too much, but Fox is four months pregnant when these pictures were snapped. They will be seen in magazines and on billboards this holiday season: “I have always been a bit of a gadget geek and into different types of technology,” Fox says in a statement. “The campaign is a good fit for me because I love electronics.” Fox gave birth to a boy a few days ago. It was her very first child with husband Brian Austin Green.
Did Britney Spears’ ex-manager Sam Lutfi ply her with Adderall from his own prescription? The shady character testified in his defamation case against the singer and her family today that he never gave her any drugs, despite allegations to the contrary . Sam Lutfi admits he has a prescription for Adderall because of his ADD, but is adamant that he never shared his meds with Britney, who he managed from 2007-08. Britney’s mother, Lynne Spears, had accused Sam of fueling the singer’s addictions – including supplying her with drugs personally – during her dark period. So far in the trial, Sam has said Britney Spears overdosed on drugs and that he tried to help her get and stay clean, only to be rebuffed by the spiraling singer. Her legal team responded that her breakup with Justin Timberlake sparked an ongoing transformation that Lutfi made worse by not having her best interests in mind. Sam, who is seeking damages for defamation plus back wages – which he Britney, then a drug addict in his words, agreed to pay him – says that’s just not true. Stay tuned … [Photos: WENN.com]
