Snow Weisz

There has never been a more apt pairing of actress and character. While this is just a photoshoot, you KNOW Disney's brains are running rampant with thoughts of a Live Action Snow White movie starring the lovely and amazing Rachel Weisz after seeing this!

My birthday buddy

Happy 40th Gavin! Call me, we can hang out!

Look who remembered!

Oh Kelly, you shouldn't have!

An Open Letter to America

Dear Citizens of The United States,
Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You so often let me down, yet this time you caught me by surprise. We don't always see eye to eye on the decisions you make—reelecting Bush Jr, not supporting stem cell research, watching Two and a Half Men—but this time you did me right.

I can't even begin to count how many good shows I've lost because of you. Veronica Mars, Arrested Development, Drive, Firefly and Wonderfalls are just a few of the programs that have suffered from your apathy and I was so fearful that the same thing would befall my new fav, Pushing Daisies. It's so quirky, so over-the-top, so unlike anything else on TV that I was convinced that you wouldn't embrace it. But you did. And you love it as much as I do. And as a reward for solidarity we've been given an entire season of this year's best new show and I know that I have you to thank for it. I am only one man, I can only do so much, but if we band together as a nation, I know that we can return this hunk of land to the great place it once was before the Iraq war, political dissention and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.

Now, let’s talk about a little show on NBC called Friday Night Lights that needs your help

All the best,
Jarett Wieselman

Burning question

On Heroes, has anyone else noticed how this: Is the same thing as this:
just wondering.....

Fire Down Below

I am here to clear things up. Lindsay Lohan's return to California from rehab in Utah has accidentally thrown the state into a tizzy. To clarify: Brandon Davis was simply reminding everyone that her bush was on fire, not that there were bush fires.

(My deepest condolences go out to all of those currently dealing with the wildfire crisis)

Bone of contention

I don’t want to be a hater, but I simply cannot get behind this.

One day before shooting began Ryan Gosling has dropped out of filming The Lovely Bones, citing “creative differences”. Which is as much of a cop out as claiming “irreconcilable differences” when you file for divorce. While rumors swirl that he was asked to leave because he was “too young” I have to wonder; Why isn’t this something that came up during the months of pre-production during which Gosling grew a robust beard and gained 20 lbs.

This morning I woke up to headlines of: Wahlberg replaces Gosling

Now, I no longer think of Mark Wahlberg as the mandatorily shirtless hip-hopper Marky Mark, in fact, I haven’t viewed him that was since the combo of Boogie Nights and Fear back in the 90's. He’s even become quite a good actor who has a slightly undeserved Oscar nomination to his name. That being said, Mark Wahlberg is no Ryan Gosling.

As an actor, Gosling is just working with a different set of instruments. It would be like asking a gynecologist to give you a prostate exam—-close, but no cigar. And the opposite applies too; I wouldn’t want to see Gosling in a Wahlberg vehicle: trying to clear his name in Shooter or rocking seriously tight pants as the long haired lead singer in Rock Star.

Additionally, let’s go back to the 20 lbs and bushy beard—are they just scrapping those tiny bits of character development? If so, that just proves my point. Those personal touches are the kind of thing an actor of Gosling’s caliber brings to a project. Yes, they can apply a faux-beard and put Mark in a fat suit (which I bet they won’t) but the point is, Ryan was getting into the head of the character while Mark is simply stepping into his shoes.

Things that stress me out: Baby Edition

That Sarah Jessica Parker has chosen to allow her son (and my baby doppelganger) James Wilke to wear clothes and colors that make him look like a little girl.


Nicole Richie's belly. I don't know why, but for some reason it reminds me of when the Alien bursts out of an astronauts chest


The fact that Kate Hudson refuses to cut her daughter, um, sons hair


The size and gargantuan shape of Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon's baby bump

Unexpected bliss

So there I was trolling along the internet, reading movie news and rumors and I stumbled onto this little gem and almost wet myself. See if you can figure out where changing my pants almost became a necessity.

Sony Pictures has launched Stage 6 Films, a label that will acquire and produce relatively low budget films for theatrical and straight-to-DVD release says Variety.

Amongst them are a prequel to this year's "Vacancy" and sequels for "Starship Troopers," "The Art of War" and "Center Stage".


Ok, so that picture was a total give-away, but who cares because they're making a sequel to Center Stage, one of my top five guilty pleasure films of all time! Now, while the fabulous Zoe Saldana (the mouthy Eva) is definitely not available because of her roles in the much-much-much higher profile (yet no less important) Avatar and Star Trek movies, the question becomes will any of the originals return?

My money is on Amanda Schull, a.k.a. Jody Sawyer, to come back in some capacity. One check of IMDB shows that she's only had one post-Center Stage role and should be primed to learn some more tough lessons. And where does she learn them? Why, when she's standing Center Stage, duh!

Is he trying to push it back in?

Hey Joel, lets not use your unborn baby as an arm rest, ok?

Got Jesus?

"I've got an extra cross with your name on it," Jennifer announced to the crowd. "Actually, I've got one around my neck for every person I stepped on along the way to becoming a star. Praise Jesus!"
