Robert De Niro may be taking a role in the new Grindhouse Robert Rodriguez film Machete!

Bloody Disgusting has scored some interesting casting rumors about “Machete”, the upcoming Robert Rodriguez-directed vigilante action film based on the “Grindhouse” trailer.

According to the site Michelle Rodriguez (TV’s “Lost,” “Fast and Furious”) and Jonah Hill (“Superbad,” “Funny People”) are set to play Luz and Julio respectively, while the legendary Robert DeNiro has a small role as ‘Senator McLaughlin’.

I hope it’s true, this movie would have much more value with him in it, even if it’s a small part.

TMZ is reporting that one of Nadya Suleman’s children has been rushed to the hospital.

It is a 2 year old boy that was vomiting after ingesting something.  I would assume it was poisonous or perhaps alcohol?  The child was taken to St Jude’s hospital.  This story is developing…….

I think that Child Protective Services will be camped at the OctoMom pad for a long time now…

O.C. star, Mischa Barton has been battling some serious demons that have landed her in a psych ward at Cedar’s-Sinai medical center in Los Angeles.

Mischa’s friends are worried about her,

“She has been on a destructive path for a while now. Her drug and alcohol [use] has gotten to a point where it drove people away.”

“I don’t think she knows her limits,” adds the pal.

Mischa missed the premiere to her big comeback movie, Homecoming in New York.  That is so sad, she put in all that hard work and now she’s missing the glory of it all.  Morgan J. Freeman is the director and he is feeling the sadness for Mischa too,

“I along with everyone on the ‘Homecoming’ team are saddened to hear that Mischa Barton will not be able to attend the film’s premiere tonight in New York,” he said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Thursday. “Her performance in ‘Homecoming’ is fantastic, and she will be missed at our premiere.”

There is a possibility that Mischa could be released tomorrow (July 18th) if she is considered stable or demands to leave.  Or she could volunteer to stay and receive treatment.  I really hope she tries to get help.  REAL help.  Mischa Barton is a young, beautiful actress and she has a lot of potential.  These stories always break my heart.  Young stars just can’t seem to handle the fame and fortune.  Just look at the pictures below and you can see the sadness, the issues eating her alive.

Get well soon, Mischa.  We are pulling for you…..

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen managed to beat Titanic‘s record in China’s box office!

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” has broken China’s box office record with receipts of 400 million yuan ($58.5 million), sinking the $52.7 million record held by “Titanic” since 1998.

China Film spokesman Weng Li said the Michael Bay movie racked up $44 million in the first 12 days after its release on June 24. The first installment of the franchise made $37 million in China in 2007.

Pic was given a wide release on thousands of screens in the absence of any other big pics. China had about 4,100 screens by the end of 2008 and the numbers are growing fast as orgs invest in theaters to feed growing demand.

It’s more amazing to me how the biggest record for all of China is only $58.5 million. It puts things into perspective a little more in terms of how much money Americans regularly spend on entertainment.

Here’s the trailer for the new Drew Barrymore directed film Whip It! starring Ellen Page (Juno).

I’m curious to see it more because of Drew Barrymore being the director than because of the actual story. I really like Ellen Page too, so I’m just hoping it’s not too cheesy.
