‘Transformers 3′ Gets a Release Date Already

Transformers 3 has already been given a release date by the studio. July 1st, 2011. 

Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures have set a July 1, 2011 release date for Transformers 3, but the studios have cautioned to Variety that the dating of the third installment isn’t an official announcement that the project is going forward; rather that the studios wanted to plan a stake in the date.

They know part 2 is going to make a ton of money so it makes sense that they would set a date for the next film.

Heath Ledger-Directed Music Videos Releasing This Year

heathledgermusicvideos

We’ve all celebrated the late Heath Ledger‘s Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actor this year, but what many fans may be surprised to accept with open arms are two music videos directed by the thespian.

The first, a video for a bonus track from Modest Mouse‘s 2007 album We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, “King Rat” is an animated clip that came out of a mutual idea between Ledger and fellow aussie Isaac Brock:

“Heath and I have a mutual friend and when we were in Australia, my fiancé and some of us in the band went out on a boat with him and his family and friends and talked about the idea,” Brock told VH1 in 2007 interview. “The idea sort of dropped, but then he just sent me an email saying that he wanted to do it.”

The second, that of singer Grace Woodroofe and her cover of David Bowie‘s “Quicksand”, will also be released officially in 2009.

Ledger’s life, as we all know, was cut short in 2008 – the result of a lethal (and probably accidental) combination of prescription medication.

Talking ‘Spider-Man 4′ and ‘Evil Dead’ Remake with Sam Raimi

Here’s what Sam Raimi said about Spider-Man 4 and a possible Evil Dead remake. 

Spider-Man 4Raimi tells MTV that while there has been talk of a fifth film, he is currently only developing “just that one film”, Spider-Man 4. Tobey Maguire is set to return, but no announcement has been made regarding Kirsten Dunst. Raimi insist that he “can’t imagine making a Spider-Man movie without Kirsten”. And while he wouldn’t reveal any plot details, he did confirm that they are “working from all the material in the comic books and nothing [invented] outside of that.” And he tells IGN that he is “in the earliest stages of working with the writer,” and is “closing in on Spider-Man’s adversary or adversaries.”

The director also tells IGN that he has been talking with his partners about “having a young director come in and remake Evil Dead.” The reason he gives for the remake is that the original film was made “in 16mm on a shoestring budget” with mono sound, and he would like to see what Evil Dead would look like with a real budget and real effects.

“It was always meant for the big screen, but never really seen on the big screen,” Raimi tells IGN. “What you could do with it now would be so much better.”

I really hope he can make Spider-Man 4 better than the last one.

Dawn Richards of Danity Kane Now a Solo Act

dawnqday26

Blogs that lay claim to being the “first” to report something always amuse me.  I love the YBF but they truly think they’ve got the corner on black entertainment news covered.  I beg to differ.  A tabloid is a tabloid, no?

Anyways, the good folks are reporting two things about Danity Kane “founder” Dawn Richards; one of which I stand behind!

Dawn Richard has definitely gone solo. She dished the goods to YBF snitches during her special guesting duties at Majestic Group’s Majestic Saturdays at Nikki Marina in Hollywood, FL this weekend. Here’s the juice:

Dawn exclusively revealed to YBF snitches that she is definitely solo, and there won’t be another Danity Kane. She also indicated–in her own way–that she and Q of Day26 are no longer dating. But she did say they are “cool”. Our source says:

When Beyonce’s single ladies came on…homegirl danced around as if she caught the “holy ghost”. Seemed like another confirmation that she may be SINGLE TO MINGLE.

By the way, Dawn also revealed that she will make her “I’m going solo” anti-climatic announcement on the “Making The Band 4″ Season Finale. Damn–officially split from both Danity Kane and your man? Can’t say we didn’t see it coming. Especially since we were the first to call this solo act of hers over a year ago.

Despite “sources”, being a member of Dawn’s twitter page, I’ve been seeing quite a bit of updates about how much they “love” each other, so I’m only going to have to give the news about her solo project announcement the stamp of approval.  The biggest downside: has Diddy ever successfully managed and promoted a female solo artist? (see Cassie, Faith Evans, Jordan McCoy, Babs, etc.)

‘The City’ Season Finale- “I Lost Myself in Us”, Whitney Dumps Jay!!!

jay and whitney

Whitney and Olivia met with their bosses about who would work with the London team- and how it would be amazing for whoever got chosen.

Adam surprises Erin at work to confront her about the drama that she brought to the surface. He told her to stay out of his life, and that she was a player trying to ruin his life. He got in her face… real winner.

At DVF, Olivia tells Whit it was “incredibly immature” to bring Jay into the workplace by talking about their problems. Nice!

Whitney calls Lauren Conrad- her Los Angeles BFF- to discuss the situation. Whit feels lost and alone, and isn’t sure if she made the right decision moving to NYC. She tells her about Olivia stepping on top of everyone to get where she wants. Lauren encourages her not to give up her dream for guys- since she’s been down that road. She tells her to kick butt at her job to show up the mean girl and get over the jerk. Good advice, LC!!!

At Erin’s apartment, she tells Allie about the lambasting she got from Adam at work the day before. She says that even though he says she’s the love of his life, actions speak louder than words.

At the DVF show, Olivia once again claims credit for pulling the Elle cover look that she really hated and Whitney loved. Ugh! Whitney asks Olivia why she took all the credit for it, when she was actually the one who pulled the look. Olivia gets snooty again- big shocker. Behind the scenes, Liv is scmoozing with the London staff member, obviously trying to land the gig.

Diane von Furstenburg herself approaches Whitney about why she looks so down and isn’t partying with everyone else. They discuss the Jay issues, and DVF tells her that absence should fuel their passion and she needs to take care of herself first and foremost. Olivia may have gotten that other dude’s attention, but Whit got Mrs. Diane herself!

At Il Bastardo, Allie asks Adam why he yelled at Erin at work. He tells her he misses her and asks what he can do to make it work between them. He swears that she will never hear anything about him with other girls ever again, and calls her his one true love. They kiss and make up.

Olivia gets the big job as the U.S. liason in London, but Whitney gets a call from Jay. As she’s leaving to meet him, Liv tells her about getting the gig, and Whitney blows it off and runs out to meet him. Outside, Jay tells her he feels bad about how things were left, and he wanted to see her. He admits he made a mistake and tells her he loves her, while fighting back tears. He tells her he wants to be with her, and she says it’s too little too late. When he asks if she loves him, she says she lost herself in “us” and didn’t pay attention to what she came to NYC for and set out to do. She tells him she wants to be alone and do what she came there to do. She apologizes and walks off.

Whoa! Curveball! That was NOT what I expected!

Now enjoy these pics from the first season of The City!

Zac Efron Gets Dirty For Interview Magazine

Zac Efron Interview Magazine April 2009

Zac Efron is bringing a whole new sexy back for the April 2009 issue of Interview magazine. He is making his Disney departure by posing dirty with a naked woman on top of him (and no it’s not Vanessa Hudgens either).  This issue hits the news stands on March 24th.

Here are the highlights from the interview:

On his new house: I just bought this place. It’s not big or anything, but it’s a pretty unique space. It’s very modern, very clean, very simple. It’s got concrete floors so I can’t screw it up. I can skateboard inside the house . . . You know, all the essentials are there. I just don’t want to buy nice furniture and then f*ck it all up.

On his dirty photo shoot: I think it went pretty cool. There was, like, a giant sandbox in the middle of a studio, and then I just got to roll around in the dirt for a couple of hours. I got pretty dirty by the end of it, so that was fun. It was definitely different from anything I had ever done before.

On traveling all the time for work: I’ve seen places I never dreamed of. I’ve just been exposed to a lot. The most interesting trip I took recently was probably going to Japan. It’s just amazing. I’ve only been in and around Tokyo.

Gwen Stefani: Baby Name Stealer

Gwen Stefani and Zuma

Gwen Stefani has two children, Kingston and Zuma, and that being said they are different names then you usually hear for babies. Gwen wanted a quirky name for her new son, Zuma, that got the idea from her band mate Tom Dumont‘s wife Mieke.

“I kind of stole it from him. I didn’t steal it, I mean his wife didn’t want it. It was just one of those things that just happened. I just wanted Zuma to have a little bit of a quirky name.”

Gwen had been talking with Mieke about baby names while the both of them pregnant. Zuma was mentioned because Zuma Beach, California was close to where Gwen and husband, Gavin Rossdale live. So Gwen heard it and immediately liked it.

Picking names for you kids are so hard! I know that was one of the hardest things I ever did for my kids.

racetowitchmountainwatchmen-final-poster

This past weekend (Mar 13-15) belonged to the new film Race to Witch Mountain starring Dwayne Johnson, but it really wasn’t an amazing opening by any stretch. Watchmen fell dramatically in revenue since last weekend pulling in less than $20 million. The new horror film Last House on the Left managed to nab the third slot while the terrible looking Miss March barely made it at #10 with a pitiful $2.3 million.

Miley Cyrus Takes Justin Gaston To Church

Miley Cyrus And Family Out

Miley Cyrus got a chance to bring her boyfriend, Justin Gaston, to church with her on Sunday. It’s cute how Justin gets along so well with the family. It must be love for all of them.

Recently Miley said that she couldn’t believe someone thought she was 40 and needed wrinkle cream. (She was shopping with her younger sister, Noah, at the time.)

“I had this lady walk up to me the other day and try to sell me wrinkle cream. I wasn’t offended until she started to say that I looked good for my age. She thought I was 40. I was with a bodyguard who she thought was my husband, and my little sister – who she thought was my daughter! She called out ‘Oh you look just like your mommy.’

“I thought she was talking to me, referring to my mum, but she wasn’t. So I had to set her straight. ‘Ok lady, that is NOT my husband, that is NOT my child and I am NOT 40, I’m 16.’ Needless to say she was embarrassed.”

I’m not sure how the lady could think she was 40. I sometimes think that Miley looks younger than 16. But still I think even at my age I would be upset if someone suggested such a thing to me.
