A feature film about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. is finally going to be written for the screen by Oscar Nominated screenwriter Ronald Harwood.

Stacey Snider and Steven Spielberg’s Martin Luther King Jr. feature project is finally moving forward. The DreamWorks Studios toppers have hired Oscar-winning playwright and screenwriter Ronald Harwood (”The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”) to pen a biographical screenplay about the slain civil rights leader.

Harwood is a strong choice for the assignment. His script work on “The Dresser,” “Butterfly” and “The Pianist” earned him Oscar nominations, with the last taking the prize. And at 75 years old, the South Africa-born writer lived through the late 1950’s and ’60’s, when King’s oratory and influence inspired a massive civil rights movement until his murder in 1968.

Sounds great, it will be interesting to see how this film develops. I wonder who they will cast to play MLK? I’ll keep you posted on the happenings, it’s obviously pretty early to tell much. It’s good to hear that they have a solid writer who lived through that era.

This is quite possibly the most horrific story I have ever had to write about.  TMZ is reporting that Markice “Kesan” Moore is a wanted man in Georgia for beating his baby girl.

Markice “Kesan” Moore is from the MTV reality show, From G’s To Gents where he was eliminated in the fifth episode.

Cops in Cobb County are on the hunt for Markice “Kesan” Moore, who is “accused of breaking both of his infant daughter’s arms, one leg, 3 ribs, a collarbone and bruising all over her body.”

He is on the Cobb County Most Wanted List and is believed to be in hiding.

This is such a sick crime, it brings me to tears.  How could you hurt a baby?  Please God, let justice be served here.

UPDATE: Cops told TMZ Kesan has been wanted by authorities since Thursday — and has told cops over the phone that he would turn himself in.

UPDATE: Kesan has turned himself in.  But,  it’s going to be a while before Moore is booked because there are “20 or 30 people in front of him.”  He is being held on $20,000 bail.

Kendra Wilkinson is enjoying life as a new mommy to little Hank Jr.  But, she is wanting to get back into shape and lose the baby weight.  So what’s her inspiration?

“I think im going to hang up a bunch of pictures of Pink around the house to motivate me to get back in shape..she has my fave body..lol.”

I agree Kendra, P!nk has an amazing bod.

Kendra also Tweeted a new picture of Hank Jr. and shared who his “crushes” are,

“So i learned who lil Hanks crushes are..they are Taylor Swift and @OfficialAudrina lol.”

That is SO cute!  Audrina Patridge is a total babe little man, but Taylor is closer to your age.

Here’s the new poster for Tyler Perry‘s Why Did I Get Married Too?

Seems like Tyler Perry cranks out more movies than the Octomom cranks out babies. He certainly doesn’t subscribe to the quality vs. quantity rule of thought.

PeTA is making a very bold statement.  Well, I suppose they are always making bold statements with their naked celebrity ads.  But, this time they have gone ‘political’ with a State of the Union UNdress speech.  Saving animals, coming down on the slaughtering of helpless animals.  That’s what PeTA does.  Taking your clothes off to make a point seems to work wonders.  So, check out the NSFW State of the Union UNdress speech below: (Read the article)

The Real Housewives of New York City Kelly Bensimon is naked for Playboy.  She’s the cover girl with a 6-page nude spread inside.  We actually already knew about Kelly Bensimon’s plans to do Playboy.  We just thought that she was going to be the December girl but we got Chelsea Handler instead (pics here.) Turns out Kelly Bensimon took her clothes off for the March issue, so get ready!  The photography is actually her ex-husband, Gilles Bensimon.  Yes, it is weird!

The first ever Survivor has died. Jenn Lyon died yesterday (January 19) at the young age of 37 after losing her battle with breast cancer.  Jenn Lyon got fourth place in Survivor Palau.  Her bright smile and sweet personality really made an impression on the show.

Jenn Lyon was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer back in 2005.  She had a radical bilateral mastectomy and other treatments but was unable to recover.

Jenn Lyon will be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends as they mourn this terrible loss.

R.I.P. Jenn Lyon February 27, 1972 – January 19, 2010

Looks like Robin Wright is finally divorcing Sean Penn for real… so what better time to start a new project?  Robin returns to her very early roots in modeling as the new face of Paris designer Gerard Darel.  Check out Robin behind the scenes of her photoshoot with photographer Peter Lindbergh for their Spring/Summer 2010 collection.  I think she looks better than ever, especially since she’s lost a certain 200 pounds…
