In a surprising and unsettling statement, Burger King admits to horse meat possibly tainting burgers sold in both the U.K. and Ireland recently. It’s just the latest chapter in an ongoing scandal in the two nations involving beef burger patties allegedly containing meat from horses and pigs. It’s suspected that a meat distributor in Poland, which works with Burger King and other supermarket chains, used meats other than beef as filler in cheap burgers. Burger King had originally stressed, in the face of the scandal, that its patties are made with 100 percent beef, a claim that was apparently disproved. However, BK later dropped Silvercrest, the food processing plant that received meat from the Polish distributor, all but confirming the horse meat scandal. The Guardian has a statement from Burger King stating: “Our independent DNA test results on product taken from restaurants were negative for any equine DNA. “However, four samples recently taken from the Silvercrest plant have shown the presence of very small trace levels of equine DNA.” “Within the last 36 hours, we have established that Silvercrest used a small percentage of beef imported from a non-approved supplier in Poland.” “They promised to deliver 100% British and Irish beef patties and have not done so. This is a clear violation of our specifications, and we have terminated our relationship with them.” In other words, there is no evidence proving that Burger King ever served horsemeat, but the company admits that some of its locations may have inadvertently done so. Additionally, UK officials have stressed that the horsemeat-tainted burgers do not pose a health risk to consumers, but still, not exactly positive PR. When you go to BK, you’re probably not craving a horse burger. Kinda makes you wanna stay home and just make a king ranch chicken recipe instead.

Twenty years after John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson , as Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, became arguably the most iconic hitman duo in contemporary cinema, it’s hard to imagine any other actors tackling those roles — especially the Royale with Cheese conversation. But the new issue of Vanity Fair serves as a reminder that their Pulp Fiction parts almost went to other actors. The magazine’s annual Hollywood issue includes an oral history on the making of Quentin Tarantino’s violent 1994 masterpiece that recalls Miramax chief Harvey Weinstein was seriously opposed to Travolta being cast as the marvelously mooky Vega. “John Travolta was at that time as cold as they get,” Tarantino’s William Morris Endeavor agent Mike Simpson tells the magazine. “He was less than zero.” When Tarantino, who was dead-set on Travolta playing the role, submitted a term sheet that included his final choice of actors for the movie, Weinstein approved all of his choices except for the onetime Saturday Night Fever star. Two much more bankable actors, Daniel Day-Lewis and Bruce Willis , had read the script and expressed interest in playing Vega, and Sean Penn and William Hurt were also on Weinstein’s short list. But Tarantino and his agent proved to be even more stubborn. When negotiations over Travolta came down to the wire, and Weinstein attempted to put off casting the actor, Simpson told the movie mogul: “You’re going to agree to it right now, or there’s no deal.” Weinstein blinked, and former Miramax production head Richard Gladstein says that 20 minutes into a screening of the finished film, Harvey cracked, “I’m so glad I had the idea to cast John Travolta.” Jackson, on the other hand, almost lost the role to Paul Calderon ( Out of Sight , 21 Grams ) and had to fly in for an eleventh-hour audition. He wasn’t happy about it, especially after one of the producers confused him with actor Laurence Fishburne ( The Matrix ). That actually turned out to be a good thing based on this distillation of the audition: “I sort of was angry, pissed, tired,” Jackson recalls. He was also hungry, so he bought a takeout burger on his way to the studio, only to find nobody there to greet him. “When they came back, a line producer or somebody who was with them said, ‘I love your work, Mr. Fishburne,’” says Jackson. “It was like a slow burn. He doesn’t know who I am? I was kind of like, Fuck it. At that point I really didn’t care.” Gladstein remembers Jackson’s audition: “In comes Sam with a burger in his hand and a drink in the other hand and stinking like fast food. Me and Quentin and Lawrence were sitting on the couch, and he walked in and just started sipping that shake and biting that burger and looking at all of us. I was scared shitless. I thought that this guy was going to shoot a gun right through my head. His eyes were popping out of his head. And he just stole the part.” Lawrence Bender adds, “He was the guy you see in the movie. He said, ‘Do you think you’re going to give this part to somebody else? I’m going to blow you motherfuckers away.’” Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
Like those vintage 1980s Reese’s Peanut Butter cup ads built around the “Two great tastes that taste great together,” tag line, this photo tweeted by J.J. Abrams ‘ Bad Robot production company is a cool visual mash-up of the filmmaker’s past and future work. No pressure, Mr. Abrams! If you’ve never seen the Reese’s ads, here’s a particularly gooey one. For the record, I have never seen an actual human walking in public while eating from a container of peanut butter, emblazoned with the words “peanut butter.” If you have, please record your sightings in the comments section below and I’ll get the folks at Fringe on it right away. They’ve got some time on their hands. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
Justin Bieber Writes Song About Selena Gomez Break Up Teeny bopper turned piff-puffin’ pop star Justin Bieber is feeling the aftermath from getting kicked to the curb by his former lil Latina lover Selena Gomez ……and he’s ready to tell the world about it in a song. via MTV Beliebers already have it marked on their calendars, but for those not in the know, Justin Bieber drops his Believe Acoustic album Tuesday. Amid unplugged versions of tracks from his 2012 release, there are also three new tracks, one of which, “Nothing Like Us,” is Bieber’s ode to former flame Selena Gomez. “Because at the end of the day, there’s nothing like us, you know? That’s just it. It is what it is,” Bieber says in the new issue of Billboard about the tune, which manager Scooter Braun confirmed is about the split. “People are going to relate to that.” Bieber told the magazine he’s feeling the pain of that breakup. “I’m not in the happiest place that I’ve ever been,” he said. “I’m trying to get through what I’m going through. Like I said, I have my really close friends to cheer me up and keep me going.” The most notable lyrics from the song lest fans hear the Biebs pour his soggy lil heart all on the track: “Gave you everything/Everything I had to give/Girl, why would you push me away/Lost in confusion/Like an illusion/You know I’m used to making your day/That’s in the past now/We didn’t last now/Guess that this is meant to be /Tell me was it worth it/We were so perfect /Baby, I just want you to see.” Awww poor thang.
Could Breezy be facing some serious slammer time following his fade with Frank Ocean ? BOSSIP spoke with a legal expert who says Chris Brown could be looking at a whole lotta time! “It is my understanding that there have been reports that the altercation between Mr. Chris Brown and Mr. Frank Ocean involved more nefarious issues than a parking space,” Atlanta based lawyer Kevin T. Connor told BOSSIP. “Specifically, it has been suggested that the incident was motivated and fueled by Mr. Brown’s anti-gay sentiments. If it could be established that, indeed, the brawl was motivated by the actual or perceived sexual orientation of the victim, it could be prosecuted as a hate crime in the State of California and/or under federal law.” Here’s the definition of a hate crime: Generally speaking, a “hate crime” is one where the accused uses force or threatens the use of force to injure, intimidate, or interfere with another’s exercise of constitutional rights if motivated by the actual or perceived membership in a protected class, including race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. The litmus test is the motivation of the aggressor, which may be established by the nature of the accused’s prior statements and conduct, including through those exhibited through social media. In other words — Breezy’s past comments, on Twitter and offline can be used to establish a hate crime motivation. What’s worse is that the fight happened in California which happens to be the first state to pass legislation specific to hate crimes. Connor also says that even if the L.A. County prosecutor chooses not to pursue the case, he could still face a civil lawsuit. “The commission of a hate crime might also expose Mr. Brown to civil liability,” Connor added when discussing the case with BOSSIP. “In such a case, the circumstances do not require the violence be extreme or motivated by hate, or even that the acts constitute a crime.” And if you’re wondering what a criminal charge would mean for Breezy, let’s just say if he does end up in a criminal court, he might as well cancel any tour plans: “Prosecution under a hate crime statute provides for an enhanced punishment beyond the normal maximum sentence for the underlying crime,” Connor told BOSSIP. “In California, for example, should Mr. Brown be charged and convicted of felony assault in this case, his 2-4 year sentence could be enhanced (increased) under the hate crime statute by another 1-4 years, depending upon whether he is found to have acted in concert with others. Additionally, because Mr. Brown is on probation for his previous assault on Rihanna, he is subject to having the balance of his probation revoked, which is to say that he could go to jail for the remainder of his probationary period in addition to any new sentence.” Connor added that while it’s unlikely, it is possible that the case could be certified by the US Attorney General. In that event, Mr. Brown may also be subject to Federal prosecution under the Civil Rights Act of 1968. 18 USC Section 245. In other words messing with Frankie can get you federal charges!!! Hit the flip for more details on the fight from witnesses at the scene.
This week’s High and Low celebrates the sublime and the obscene. But though the two movies I’ve spotlighted couldn’t be more different, they’re both a lot of fun. Perhaps the case could be made that both movies celebrate female artists and their unique voices, but that might be stretching things a tad. Still, you might find yourself surprised by these titles — one’s less stodgy, and the other less stupid, than the casual observer might at first realize. HIGH: Pina (The Criterion Collection; DVD $29.95, Blu-Ray/3D Blu-Ray Combo Pack, $49.95) WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Directed by Wim Wenders ; featuring dancers from the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: A celebration of the work of revolutionary dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch , whose visionary ideas about dance ranged from the kinds of movement that could be incorporated into performance pieces to the use of water, dirt and rocks onstage. (If you’ve seen Pedro Almodóvar’s Talk to Her , the dance pieces that bookend that film are Bausch works.) The interviews aren’t particularly illuminating, but the dance comes alive for Wenders’ camera, particularly since he shot in 3-D, which in this case helps make the cinematic experience more like being there live. WHY IT’S SCHMANCY: Even if the words “modern dance” send chills down your spine, Wenders makes this work very approachable, mixing performance with occasional narration from the late Bausch’s collaborators and acolytes in a way that brings us in and lets even dance newbies understand why this work is so groundbreaking and extraordinary. WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT: Criterion goes 3-D for the first time with this release, and they couldn’t have picked a better movie to show off the process. There’s not a lot leaping out at you. Wenders instead goes for depth, and the effect both highlights the movement of the dancers and creates a physical context for their movement. There’s also the usual truckload of Criterion extras, including an interview with and commentary by Wenders, deleted scenes and a booklet that makes up for one of the movie’s minor shortcomings by identifying the dancers. LOW: For a Good Time, Call… (Universal Studios Home Entertainment; DVD $29.89, Blu-Ray $34.98) WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Directed by Jamie Travis ; written by Lauren Miller and Katie Anne Naylon; starring Miller, Ari Graynor , Justin Long , Seth Rogen, Kevin Smith. WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: Recently dumped and between gigs, Lauren (Miller) is forced to share digs with her old college nemesis Katie (Graynor). The two become best pals after Lauren discovers that Katie is working as a phone-sex operator — and that the strait-laced Lauren, much to the surprise of both, is a natural at talking dirty for 99 cents a minute. WHY IT’S FUN: I know, the idea of a phone sex comedy feels at least a decade and a half out of date, but For a Good Time, Call… does a convincing job of making the idea of hot telephone chat seem contemporary, even in the Internet age. What’s such a treat about the movie is the way that it explores the intimacy of female friendships, while also allowing its leading ladies to be bawdy and outrageous in a way that never feels like a man’s idea of what a potty-mouth woman would sound like. WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT: Given the film’s racy premise, it’s not surprising that they’ve got a longer, “unrated” cut that features even more smutty humor than the theatrical version. If you’ve got the time, they’ve got the funny. Alonso Duralde has written about film for The Wrap, Salon and MSNBC.com .

“It just doesn’t matter,” Bill Murray pep-talked to his misfit campers in Meatballs . You’ve got to think that Teams Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook similarly rallied the troops in the wake of Argo ’s surprise Best Picture and Best Director wins at the Golden Globes. Go home, they might have said, it’s the Golden Globes . It just doesn’t matter. Except that it does, contends In Contention ’s Kris Tapley: “Anyone who dismissively calls it a non-issue doesn’t get it. With six weeks, every little nuance and acceptance speech will be grist for the mill. It matters.” That means that Tommy Lee Jones better start smiling, Golden Globe-winner Anne Hathaway better keep all her acceptance speeches as gracious and humble, and Jennifer Lawrence better recover from her rivals-slamming turn hosting Saturday Night Live . But what matters more are the major Guild award ceremonies in the offing: The Producers Guild Awards on Jan. 26, the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 27, and the Director’s Guild Awards on Feb. 2. These should give a clearer picture of the Oscar race. Or not. A DGA award, one of the most reliable Oscar indicators, will come to naught should either Ben Affleck or Kathryn Bigelow , neither nominated for an Oscar, win. As Times-Picayune critic Mike Scott noted on NOLA.com, “Usually the Golden Globes at least do a little to clarify an Oscar race or two, but in what is shaping up to be a more difficult-than-usual year in which to predict the Oscar winners, Sunday’s Globes only clouded things… many of the Oscar races would appear to be coin-flip races at this point.” One thing is irrefutable after Sunday night: After Tina Fey and Amy Poehler ’s hosting triumph at the Globes, Seth MacFarlane needs to have better jokes than his Hitler gag on nomination morning. Best Picture No Best Picture-nominee had a better week than Argo with its seven Oscar nominations and Critics Choice and Golden Globe wins for Best Picture and Best Director . No Oscar nomination for Best Director; no problem. Writes Tom O’Neil on GoldDerby.com : “There is a clairvoyant member of the academy’s producers’ branch whose judgment I’ve learned to trust through the years. He’s never been wrong about Best Picture as far as I know, not even when Crash pulled off an upset over Brokeback Mountain . Now he’s backing Argo and feels very strongly about it. Right after Oscar noms were announced and before Argo pulled off those jaw-droppers at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes, he roared at me, ‘Mark my words, Argo is going to win the Oscar. I don’t give a damn that Affleck isn’t nominated for Best Director. That only makes me more hellbent to vote for his movie!” But despite Argo being “back in the mix,” wrote Steven Zeitchik and Glenn Whipp in The Los Angeles Times , Lincoln , leading the pack with 12 nominations, remains the frontrunner. Or not. Silver Linings Playbook , like Lincoln , had a disappointing night at the Globes, but it is the first film since Reds at the 1982 ceremony to have received nominations for Best Picture, Director, all four acting categories, and screenplay. Plus: “People love Silver Linings Playbook ; they respect Zero Dark Thirty ,” write Michael Hogan and Christopher Hogan for their For Your Consideration blog on Huffington Post . Silver Linings Playbook producer Harvey Weinstein catered an Italian lunch for members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, the New York Times reported. Lincoln director Steven Spielberg pulled off the coup of getting the services of “Hillary Clinton’s husband” to introduce his film at the Golden Globes. Advantage: Spielberg. Like Tapley said: It matters. Meanwhile, Kathryn Bigelow, mired in the controversy surrounding her film’s depiction of “enhanced interrogation techniques,” gamely reiterated her “depiction is not endorsement” line of defense in a self-penned article in Wednesday’s The Los Angeles Times . 1. Lincoln 2. Silver Linings Playbook 3. Argo 4. Zero Dark Thirty 5. Life of Pi 6. Beasts of the Southern Wild 7. Les Miserables 8. Amour 9. Django Unchained Best Director With Affleck and Bigelow out of the Best Director race, Spielberg’s chances for a third Academy Award for Best Director are looking good, unless David O. Russell benefits from all that Academy love for Silver Linings Playbook . But don’t count out Ang Lee, noted Anne Thompson on her Thompson on Hollywood blog: “Lee survived the brutal directors derby that left Kathyrn Bigelow, Ben Affleck and Tom Hooper hanging, and he commands serious respect inside the Academy, which gave him the Oscar for Brokeback Mountain . Remember, these 5700 voters are people who know what goes into making movies and this gorgeously executed heart-tugger with worldwide appeal ($400 million and counting) had a high degree of difficulty.” 1.Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) 2. David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook) 3. Ang Lee (Life of Pi) 4. Benh Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild) 5. Michael Haneke (Amour)
Jessica Simpson is having a boy! The 32-year-old singer found out this week that her daughter Maxwell will have a little brother, according to reports. “It’s Jessica’s dream come true, she prayed she was having a boy ,” a source said. “She found out this week. What with everything going on in her personal life, and her problems with her father , this has given her something to smile about.” “After a check-up at the doctor, [they] asked if she wanted to know the sex … she said yes and when the doctor told her it was a boy she screamed with joy.” “She was so happy that Maxwell is getting a little brother because that’s something she always wanted when she was growing up,” the insider adds. “Jessica and [fiance Eric Johnson ] are going through names, but haven’t settled on one just yet.
