Sandra Bullock appeared on The Tonight Show this week, where she dropped the f-bomb basically ’cause she can. And ’cause it makes her cooler. The context? Her new movie The Heat and its profanity – there are 190 f-bombs in total, Bullock said, though most of them come from Melissa McCarthy. “At the end I sort of learn how to,” the 48-year-old actress said, explaining that “when you drop them you’re just cooler, I’m cooler when I drop them.” Sandra adds that she doesn’t talk that way in real life, at least not in front of kids, at which point Leno asked if there were any kids in the audience. He set ’em up, and Bullock gamely knocked ’em down: Sandra Bullock F-Bomb
Hollywood TV hits the red carpet for the premiere of The Heat staring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy at the Zeigfeld Theatre in New York City. We caught up with actor Michael McDonald…
Tim Tebow can’t catch a break. Not even in his adopted hometown. With the quarterback having been released last month by the Jets and now looking for a job, a contingent of Jacksonville Jaguars fans have started a website that urges ownership NOT to sign the former Florida Gator. It’s called Evenifhesreleased.com, a reference to the response given by new Jaguars GM David Caldwell when asked Tebow in January: “I can’t imagine a scenario where he’d be a Jaguar, even if he’s released.” As of this morning, the site had receiver over 31,000 clicks. Explains John Caputo, president of Bold City Brigade, the organization behind the URL: “We are inspired to counter anything or anyone that chooses to attack or spread ignorance about our fan base. We aim to do it in a tasteful and tactful manner, which represents our mission and members.” On the opposite end of the Tim Tebow spectrum, some Jacksonville fans have urged President Obama to get involved in their team acquiring the ex-Heisman Trophy winner. Tebow also has offers on the table from the Lingerie Football League and Omaha Beef . Lingerie Football League and Omaha Beef
In addition to Wade Robson’s allegations , Michael Jackson’s life is back in the news this week because of his family’s wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live. Then again, MJ’s former attorney suggested this week that Robson may have been motivated to come forward by AEG, his former concert promoter. In any case, days before his death, the King of Pop told Kenny Ortega, the producer of the ill-fated This Is It tour, that “God keeps talking to me.” Ortega and associate producer Alif Sankey testified that they became increasingly alarmed at Jackson’s frail appearance during his final rehearsals. Sankey was so worried that at one point she began crying. During a June 19, 2009 rehearsal, Jackson looked “extremely thin” and “was not speaking normally” as he was being fitted for his stage clothes. Six days later, Michael Jackson died. Sankey was so shaken up even before he passed away that she says she called Ortega “because I had a very strong feeling that Michael was dying.” “I was screaming into the phone at that point,” she added of the star’s apparently declining health. “I said he needs to be put in the hospital now.” Shortly thereafter, a meeting was called at Jackson’s house with Jackson, Dr. Conrad Murray , AEG Live President Randy Phillips and Ortega. Phillips then sent an email praising Murray, who’s now doing time for manslaughter, as a man “who I am gaining immense respect for as I deal with him more.” The email added, “This doctor is extremely successful [we check everyone out] and does not need this gig, so he [is] totally unbiased and ethical.” Therein lies the rub. In their wrongful death lawsuit, the Jackson family claims that AEG and Phillips did not properly check out Murray’s background. If they had, they would have found he was saddled with debt and was desperate to keep his high-paying job treating Jackson, even if it meant crossing the line. As such, they want $40 BILLION In damages. In the meanwhile, Wade Robson, a choreographer who knew Jackson when he was a boy, said Michael Jackson sexually abused him repeatedly. Wade made the claims years after denying the same exact thing during MJ’s molestation trial. His reason for the flip-flop at this moment in time? That he had a nervous breakdown from long-repressed sexual trauma and it torpedoed his career. He is seeking damages from MJ’s estate as a result. Michael’s lawyer during the molestation trial, Tom Mesereau, has suggested that the timing is curious to say the least, and questioned his motives.
Gravity is the latest “isolation” movie that follows one person’s–or in this case two people’s–terrifying battles against harsh, stark, nature. Think Castaway or 127 Hours or any of the Twilight movies (in this case you, the audience member are the one stranded in isolation). The difference with Gravity , starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, is that it takes place in space. Everything’s way more terrifying in space. Check out the first Gravity poster : Bullock and Clooney play Dr. Ryan Stone and Commander Matt Kowalsky, who are on a mission to space. While on a spacewalk, their ship blows up, leaving them stranded, with no communication to Earth. Alfonso Cuarón directs the film, which is set to premiere October 4.
Jesse James married Alexis DeJoria over the weekend. Hours after his fourth wedding at her father’s Malibu estate March 24, the motorcycle mogul shared a sweet pic via his Instagram account. Peep it: “Love, wife, family, work … Life always just finds a way of showing us what is most important,” wrote the former West Coast Choppers CEO, 43. James, who cheated on wife No. 3 Sandra Bullock with a reported four women and went to rehab in 2010, “had tears in his eyes” during the ceremony. An insider says that DeJoria, 35, “wore a strapless wedding dress with embroidery,” while her bridesmaids “all wore lavender and were barefoot.” James’ youngest daughter, Sunny, 9, and DeJoria’s daughter, Bella, 10, served as flower girls. “They were giggling throughout the ceremony.” The event featured huge white and purple floral arrangement that included “lots of white orchids and roses … Alexis walked down an aisle lined with rose petals.” “The ceremony lasted 15 minutes and at the end everyone cheered and whistled,” the insider continues. “Jesse couldn’t stop kissing Alexis over and over.” “Even when they were posing for pictures, he kept kissing her.” James and DeJoria, who reside in Texas, exchanged vows in front of Courtney Force, a race car driver, and Carrie Rudy, a professional piercer and others. James was previously (and infamously) engaged to tattoo artist Kat Von D and previously wed to Sandra Bullock, Karla James and Janine Lindemulder. Best of luck to the newlyweds!
Aren’t you just wondering who else ranked in under him… Forbes released their list for the Top 10 Overpaid Actors In Hollywood and, other than Eddie topping the ranks at numero uno, you may actually be surprised who landed up on there: #2–Katherine Heigl #3–Reese Witherspoon #4–Sandra Bullock #5–Jack Black #6–Nicolas Cage #7–Adam Sandler #8–Denzel Washington #9–Ben Stiller #10–Sarah Jessica Parker Denzel!?!? For real tho? Forbes gave their reasons for Eddie landing at number one and they didn’t hesitate to name all of his box office flops: Poor Eddie Murphy desperately needs a comeback. Remember back in the day when he was so funny on Saturday Night Live and in movies like Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop? His voice work has helped make movies like Shrek and Mulan tolerable for adults, and even his family-friendly movies, like Norbit and Dr. Dolittle, were good for some chuckles. But lately, Murphy’s career has just collapsed. Imagine That, A Thousand Words and Meet Dave were colossal flops. Last year’s Tower Heist, which was supposed to be something of a return to form for the comedian, failed to wow at the box office, earning $153 million on an estimated budget of $75 million. (In order to even come close to turning a profit, a movie has to earn twice its production budget in ticket sales, plus the millions spent on marketing.) Murphy then backed out of hosting the Oscars, which didn’t help his reputation.His string of flops lands Murphy at the top of our Most Overpaid Actors list for 2012. We estimate that for every $1 Murphy was paid for his last three films, they returned an average of $2.30 at the box office. Ouch! Images via tumblr/WENN
N.Y. Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has been sidelined by sore ribs and mired on the bench, but the class act reached out Monday to a teen hurting far worse. Responding to a viral Twitter campaign, Tebow called Matt Hardy , a Shenendehowa (N.Y.) H.S. student hospitalized with injuries suffered in a two-car crash. Two fellow students, Chris Stewart and Deanna Rivers, were killed; the driver of the other vehicle failed alcohol tests at the scene, according to reports. Around 7 p.m., the hashtag #TebowCallMatt trended nationally on Twitter. By then, more than 50,000 users had re-tweeted the hashtag. By 9 p.m., Tim called. Tebow phoned Hardy after 9 p.m. Afterward, Hardy’s brother, Michael, tweeted: “TIM TEBOW JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MATT! SUCH A CLASS ACT!!” Seriously. The most amazing part is that from Tim, one of the true good guys in sports (whatever you think of his skill level), people almost expect this kind of thing. A short time later, Tebow himself tweeted: “Thanks to everyone who got #TebowCallMatt trending & helped connect us. Matt truly inspired me. God bless y’all.” Hardy, 17, plays football, baseball and basketball at Shenendehowa. He was upgraded to stable condition in Albany Medical Center on Monday night. He suffered a concussion and broken bones, according to area news reports. Another 16,000 re-tweeted #MissyCallBailey – a reference to Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin and Bailey Wind, another teen from nearby Shaker H.S. who survived the crash. Around midnight, Franklin tweeted that she’d left a phone message for Wind.
Forbes‘ list of the year’s most overpaid actors has been released, and coming in at #1 is a man whose immense past success leaves him in rarefied air in Hollywood. His recent films, however, have tanked. Eddie Murphy wins the magazine’s Most Overpaid Actor award for 2012, followed by Katherine Heigl and Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock, surprisingly. Murphy’s earning power has steadily declined since his string of ’80s hits, his voiceover work in Shrek and Mulan , and family-friendly roles in Norbit and Dr. Dolittle . Imagine That, A Thousand Words, Meet Dave , and Tower Heist all flopped at the box office however, making him the biggest drain on expenses in town. At least he’s dating Paige Butcher . Silver lining? Hollywood’s one-time go-to rom-com leading lady, Heigl, fell close behind Murphy, with Bullock, Witherspoon and Jack Black rounding out the top five. Here’s the full list of the most overpaid actors : Eddie Murphy – Returns $2.30 for every $1 paid. Katherine Heigl – Returns $3.40 for every $1 paid. Reese Witherspoon – Returns $3.90 for every $1 paid. Sandra Bullock – Returns $5 for every $1 paid. Jack Black – Returns $5.20 for every $1 paid. Nicolas Cage – Returns $6 for every $1 paid Adam Sandler – Returns $6.30 for every $1 paid. Denzel Washington – Returns $6.30 for every $1 paid. Ben Stiller – Returns $6.50 for every $1 paid. Sarah Jessica Parker – Returns $7 for every $1 paid. Surprised? Not surprised? Which actor or actress do you think is the most (and least) talented on this list? And who do you think is the most underpaid star?
