She’s no stranger to creating an uproar on Twitter, having already gone off on homophobia and even dissed Jesus Christ (according to some). But Miley Cyrus’ latest diatribe on that social network has apparently gotten her into major trouble… with fiance Liam Hemsworth. The singer expressed some serious sadness on Twitter a couple weeks ago, causing folks to wonder if there were problems at home. And an insider tells Star Magazine that the mysterious, depressing words were a “huge insult to Liam.” “She tried to pass it off like it had nothing to do with him, but it totally affected him, no matter what she tries to say,” reads a report in the latest issue of this tabloid. It goes on to say: “She was trying to get his attention, but she just ended up making him pull away from her more. He thinks she’s acting like an immature schoolgirl, and he wants her to get off Twitter completely.” Harsh words, but for a private guy, can you really blame him?
More Muhammad pics are in the planning stages and this time, they may include cinematic quality. By now, just about every filmmaker or aspiring filmmaker knows that it’s a full-on major taboo to depict the Prophet Muhammad in a movie. That rule doesn’t just apply to the recent low-budget video that appeared on YouTube, Innocence of Muslims , which didn’t exactly depict the Muslim prophet in the best of light, but any depiction is absolutely forbidden among Muslims or anyone else for that matter, at least according to the raging crowds that have rioted for the past two weeks in front of American missions around the Muslim world. But while depictions of Muhammad have remained mostly absent in Hollywood and Western movies throughout the decades, the anti-Islam pic may have had the unintended (or not) effect of opening up a floodgate – or at least a trickle – as at least two filmmakers are looking to make separate pics featuring the prophet, and if all goes according to plan, their budgets will likely be higher. Leading the next possible wave of Muhammad projects are two ex-Muslims who are developing biopics that will give critical takes on Muhammad, according to the Los Angeles Times . L.A. based Palestinian filmmaker Mosab Hassan Yousef told the paper he has cast a “prominent Hollywood actor” to play Muhamad in a project he says has a proposed budget of $30 million. The story would center on the prophet from age 12 until his death and would be reminiscent of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ . “My goal is to create this big mirror to show the Muslim world the true image of its leader,” Yousef is quoted as saying. The one difference with the depiction of Jesus Christ, however, is that Yousef’s take may be less of a glorified account of Muhammad than Gibson’s Passion . Yousef’s book Son of Hamas tells of his journey from a “terrorist to Israeli spy to born-again Christian,” according to L.A.T. He claims to not be ‘anti-Muslim,’ and says his mother is still a practicing member of the religion that claims 1.5 billion followers worldwide, but he apparently converted under the guidance of a radical Egyptian Christian – Father Zakaria Botros Henein – who has criticized Muhammad as a “pedophile and buffoon.” Even further along the way to becoming reality is another film by an atheist raised in Iran, Ali Sina, which is said to be in pre-production and claims to have $2 million secured so far. Sina hopes to raise a total of $10 million for the project. Still untitled, the story will liken Muhammad to cult leaders Jim Jones or David Koresh. The Canadian resident plans to begin shooting the pic next year. “We can bypass theaters completely and sell the movie online with a profit to a large number of people, especially Muslims,” Sina said. “They can download it and watch it even if they are living in Karachi or Mecca or Medina.” Innocence of Muslims was actually not the first depiction of Muhammad in the West that incited violent reaction in the Muslim world. In 2005 and 2006, Danish publication Jyllands-Posten published a dozen cartoons that later sparked massive protests resulting in more than 100 deaths and the bombing of the Danish embassy in Pakistan in addition fires being set at the normally placid Scandinavian country’s embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran. Its prime minister at the time described the controversy as Denmark’s works international crisis since World War II. [Source: Los Angeles Times ]
Hey remember when Blake Lively got married to Ryan Reynolds in a secret wedding in North Carolina the other day…..it was awesome….everyone is talking about it….so it must be important….even though neither Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds give a fuck about us…they don’t even know us by name…let alone get involved in who we are fucking….but for some reason we care about them…like they fucking matter….even though they really fucking don’t….I assume there is a PR company behind this story somewhere…covering up something….putting her out there pantsless for Allure for a reason….a reason I can only assume is to give me something to look at….. Here are the pics…of her posing with a lamb and children….I wonder if she is Jesus…and whether this is a religious experience…
The body of a stripper with the face of a fucking monster….I think this Christian brain trickster did more than just sell her soul to the devil when deciding to drop Jesus music for her Jesus loving Apalachian hillbilly fans with no real mind of their own thanks to generations of being inbred…I think she is actually the fucking devil…cuz when I look at her face I see fucking demons…don’t stare too long….she may steal your fucking soul….
After reading the statement that Martin Scorsese ‘s representatives released in response to the lawsuit that’s been filed against him by Cecchi Gori Pictures over a project called Silence , I think I can save both sides a bundle in lawyer’s fees and, ultimately, production costs. Both sides of this legal battle should ask themselves a pertinent question: Do you actually think that this movie, if it’s ever made, will actually put asses in seats? Hear me out. Scorsese is one of my favorite filmmakers, and given his obsession with religion, I’m confident he’d make a compelling adaptation of Silence , an acclaimed 1966 Shusaku Endo novel about a Jesuit investigating whether his mentor committed apostasy — renounced his beliefs — at a time when Christians were faced with the prospect of being hung upside down over a pit and slowly bled to death if they refused. The Christians are essentially coerced into renouncing their faith by stepping on fumie ,crudely carved wooden images of Jesus Christ. Heard enough? Look, movies about the strength of one’s beliefs and God’s relationship with humanity can be powerful. One of the aspects of Prometheus that I particularly loved was how Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof explored those very deep concepts in their sci-fi blockbuster earlier this summer. Silence doesn’t sound powerful to me, though. It sounds like a ponderous slog that covers territory Scorsese already traversed in The Last Temptation of Christ . More importantly, Silence , just by virtue of its subject matter, has the markings of a small, boutique film. That’s not the kind of film Scorsese, one of our greatest living directors, should making in his golden years. I want him doing David Lean-size big-picture stuff like The Wolf of Wall Street , and, I suspect, so do his handlers. According to Deadline , Cecchi Gori Pictures claims in its lawsuit that it invested more than $750,000 to develop Silence into a feature film based on contracts and assurances that it would be Scorsese’s next project. Scorsese initally agreed in 1990 to co-produce and direct Silence after he completed Kundun (1997). But the lawsuit alleges Scorsese and Sikelia arranged to postpone starting on Silence so the director could make The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010) and Hugo (2011). When Cecchi Gori learned that Scorsese was going to shoot The Wolf of Wall Street instead of Silence, the company claimed breach of contract. Scorsese’s responded to the suit today with the following statement: “It is shocking to us that the lawyers for Cecchi Gori Pictures would file a suit pursuing such absurd claims considering the amicable working relationship existing between Martin Scorsese and the principals of Cecchi Gori Pictures.The claims asserted are completely contradicted by, inconsistent with, and contrary to the express terms of an agreement entered into by the parties last year.” The statement added: “The lawsuit filing on the eve of Mr. Scorsese starting another picture has all the earmarks of a media stunt.” Given that the amount of Cecchi Gori’s investment isn’t even $1 million — a paltry sum in moviemaking terms — there should be a compromise here that enables Cecchi Gori’s principals to walk away without feeling like they got burned and for Scorsese to make the movies he wants to make, when he wants to make them. I just hope that Silence isn’t one of them. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

The claws have come out between Alexis Bellino, her husband Jim and Tamra Barney. The legal claws, that is. Days after The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special, Alexis and Jim have released a statement in which they threaten to sue their castmate over recent remarks, most notably her insistence on referring to Alexis as “Jesus Jugs.” ” The Real Housewives of Orange County is a reality show that is meant to entertain and engage audiences with the lives of its cast members. We recognize that the personalities, drama and conflict of the show attract fans to the popular Bravo reality series,” the Bellinos said to Us Weekly . “Unfortunately, some cast members use the show as a platform for personal attacks and character assassination, perhaps out of personal insecurity or simply to inflict pain. To the extent possible, we try to ignore this behavior. “This vicious and malicious attack on our family will no longer be tolerated. We have continually tried to take the high road, however, if necessary, we are prepared to defend ourselves against these unfounded, slanderous and defamatory remarks to the fullest extent of the law.” Barney isn’t likely to back down, however. She recently went off to Rumor Fix about Alexis and her hypocritical lifestyle. “Unlike Alexis, I don’t need to hide behind the Jesus curtain and I don’t feel the need to preach. When someone is constantly preaching about something they are lying! Alexis and Jim are faux Christians, like her ring. Does she think Jesus would be proud of her for judging me as a Christian, and the crosses in my house? Jim Bellino used to take Peggy Tanous to strip clubs after church when they were dating!” While it’s possible Bellino won’t even return to Bravo next season, one thing is for certain for now: It. Is. On. CHOOSE A SIDE IN THIS FEUD:
The other day at the weapons check table, where costumed attendees must have their (mostly) fake light sabers and guns and knives inspected and tagged, a Comic-Con security officer summed up cosplay culture during the Con to me: Folks don their costumes at home thinking they’ll stand out in the crowd, only to arrive at the Convention Center and see that uniqueness is almost pedestrian here in San Diego — if only for this one wondrous weekend in July. So what’s the secret to crafting a truly Tweet-worthy, next-level costume? You’ve got your easy jokes on a familiar theme (Retired Batman is lounging outside the Convention Center in a lawn chair as we speak, while a Sad Storm Trooper was spotted holding a sign that read “Need hug. Death Star destroyed.”) but let’s be real: if you’ve been to one Con, you’ve seen most of it all. So, a few humble observations from Comic-Con 2012: Over the past few years Slave Leia has become one of the most overdone costumes at Comic-Con. They’re everywhere. They look the same. Yawn. So props to the guy who made me pause on the street to take this Leia pic: It ain’t Slave Leia, but it works. (Also kinda works as a nod to the stunt double scene in Spaceballs .) Meanwhile, subversive takes on Disney princesses have spawned their own meme category on the interwebs, and Sexy Fill-in-the-Blanks are a staple of any gathering of geek culture. (It’s like Halloween for geeks. Walking down the street in a thong in broad daylight is a fanboy/girl prerogative!) Now, Hot Disney Princess is not a new concept in the cosplay world but this trio pretty much stopped traffic while walking toward the Convention Center the other day. And while they politely declined requests from the random dudes with cameras swarming them on the street, I watched them stop to take a photo with a kid. THE EPITOME OF THE DISNEY PRINCESS SPIRIT! And yet the best cosplay I’ve seen all Comic-Con was one that you kinda had to be here to truly appreciate: The group of youngsters who, with just a few pieces of cardboard, a marker, and a sense of humor, parodied the Christian evangelists who’ve been clogging the crowded walkway between the Convention Center and downtown San Diego shouting about Jesus on soapboxes to disinterested Con-goers just trying to cross the damn railroad tracks: Well played, dudes. By today a band of paid marketers pimping some Stan Lee event were already biting your style, to far less compelling effect. Read more from Comic-Con 2012 here. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

Shortest. Pregnancy. Ever. Okay, maybe not for Adele herself, but for the public. Unlike Jessica Simpson’s very public gestation period, which was marked by Twitpics, nude Elle covers and absurd quotes for months on end, we just found out Adele was with child. So when is she due? Like really soon! Simon Konecki got Adele pregnant 6-7 months before anyone knew! UK reports say she’s due in mid-September, or around two months from now. Neither the 24-year-old nor her boyfriend has commented on the report or the pregnancy at all beyond their initial announcement last month. However, UK celebrity gossip sources claimed this morning that Adele will be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet by the middle of September. “Adele has barely left the house in recent months, so she could keep this to herself for as long as possible,” a so-called insider said of the star. How the alleged insider knows what’s going on in Adele’s womb, we have no idea, but congratulations on the pregnancy again in any case! [Photo: WENN.com]
The Real Housewives of Orange County are sitting down on Andy Cohen’s couches in Part One of the Season 7 reunion. Will Alexis get an apology for being called phony? (Probably not.) Will Vicki have to defend Brooks? (Probably.) And how many times will she say “love tank”? (One time too many.) Let’s find out in our THG +/- review. Tamra’s hair is as big as Alexis’ boobs. Minus 5. We’re 60 seconds in and Vicki’s already lamenting the fact that Brianna eloped and almost had cancer. Minus 10 . Andy just pointed out that Gretchen and Tamra have swapped hairstyles. Which explains everything. And he’s wasting no time asking about Vicki’s fur coat. Plus 2 . Alexis says the reason she mispronounced Katie Couric’s last name is because she has an accent. You know, like the British. Minus 4. Here it goes, Alexis and the infamous Fox 5 news reporter scandal. She says that Jim’s douche-maneuver in virtually everything regarding Alexis and what she wants, is just because he has a strong personality. Heather calls her out on it and says it’s like he’s her Daddy. Then she slams Tamra saying “she’s still married.” Heather used the word “maligning” like she thinks Alexis knows what that means. Plus 10 for good vocabulary. In this argument between Heather and Alexis? Heather wins. Mostly because she understands words. And mortgages. Tamra’s recap is up next. Seriously, her hair is huge! After Eddie proposed, he re-proposed in front of her kids when they got home. Plus 10 . Tamra said her mouth has gotten her into a lot of trouble. At least she’s aware. Vicki’s disappointed by the distance between she and Tamra after this season. Tamra’s saddened by the distance between them, too. Something that makes Tamra happy is her friendship with Gretchen. Vicki thinks Tamra’s unable to have more than one friend at a time. Vicki, jealousy’s an ugly look. Minus 3 . Vicki blames Tamra for the reason she didn’t like Alexis for so long. Alexis says that she and Vicki have been working on their friendship since last season. Andy Cohen just said “love tank.” Minus 25. And now there’s a montage of Brooks and his positive affirmations. There’s not enough pinot grigio in the world to make him tolerable. Donn and Brooks apparently get along swimmingly. Vicki, apparently, almost ripped Donn’s girlfriend’s eyeballs out. Gretchen says Vicki’s not sincere in what she says. “Correct,” Vicki replies. But she’s not a hypocrite. Minus 10 . Vicki says she’s told Brooks to “get his sh*t together” regarding his child support issues and reveals that she’s known him for five years and wrote a letter to the judge to get him out of jail when he was tossed into the clink for not paying. Juicy! She just can’t seem to grasp how hypocritical she’s been with Slade and Brooks’ similar situations. Minus 15. Phony-gate 2012 is upon us. Alexis feels like the women ganged up on her, which is probably true. And Heather said “maligned” again. Alexis still doesn’t know what it means. Tamra said her blow-up at her coffee date with Alexis was the result of Alexis pushing her into it. And then Alexis called Tamra bitter and old. Gretchen says she warned Alexis that Phony-gate was coming when they were on the plane ride over to Costa Rica and then Alexis tells Andy that Gretchen’s lying about her hair extensions. Because those two things are related. Minus 3. Vicki says she’d never want anyone to “gang bang” Tamra. So that’s good. Heather accuses Alexis of being rude to the crew and department store employees. And then Tamra shouts “You are PSYCHOTIC, JESUS JUGS.” And I died. Plus 40. EPISODE TOTAL: -3 SEASON TOTAL: -364
