Slumdog Kids Finally Get A Home!

Josh loposer — Wed, 27 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Since the incredible success of Slumdog Millionaire at the Academy Awards, most news about the production has been pretty un-inspirational.

On the one hand, you've got people piling on director Danny Boyle and the producers for not making these kids rich, and on the other, you've got Mumbai officials bulldozing the shanty towns where the child stars live. Well, get ready for some good news.

Danny and co. have made good on their promise to get these kids off the street. According to reports, Azharuddin Ismail (the kid who played young Salim) and his family are in the process of moving to their new home, purchased by the Slumdog trust fund. Here's how a director of the fund described the place:

"comfortable, in a good neighborhood (and) near his school" and cost "upwards of 2 million rupees" ($42,000).

As for Rubina Ali, the actress who played young Latika, Boyle says they are currently shopping for a home for her family as well. Awesome!

Both families were displaced when Mumbai housing officials bulldozed their shanty town with no prior notice.

Video: Julia Roberts Goes Postal On Paps!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:03:00 GMT

Actress Julia Roberts is fed up! She's had quite enough of being followed by the paparazzi, particularly when she has her children with her. Roberts lets the paps know exactly how she feels about them: She tells them to "aim higher, get a life, get away from me." She also has a few choice words for them....

Video after the jump (Warning: strong language)

Mama's p*ssed and she's not afraid to show it. I never want to get on Julia's bad side. Hopefully the kids didn't hear mom dropping the 'F' bomb.

Julia and husband Daniel Moder have three kids - 4-year-old twins, Hazel and Finn, and son Henry, 19 months.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Want Full Custody?

Karl Erikson — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:36:00 GMT

Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James are filing for permanent custody of Jesse's daughter from a previous relationship. Sunny, 5, is the daughter of Jesse and ex-girlfriend porn star Janine Lindemulder.

Till now, the former couple have shared custody of Sunny, but that may change shortly. Janine is in jail for 6 months for tax evasion charges, and now stepmom Sandra Bullock and Jesse have full custody of the girl while Janine stares at the bars in her cell.

A source told the Enquirer, "This is a dream come true for Sandra, but it's Janine's worst nightmare. Janine is worried that, while she's in prison, Jesse will file another motion with the court to gain permanent custody."

"Sandra loves Sunny like her own flesh and blood, and will completely support Jesse if he chooses to fight for full custody."

You don't go screwing with Uncle Sam, that's for sure. Janine failed to pay more than $200,000 in income tax. Even after she gets out of prison, she has to spend time in a residential community corrections center.

Julia Roberts Doesn't Shower...Much

Sassy Smith — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 12:03:00 GMT

Actress Julia Roberts likes to keep things simple. Hey, with three kids I get wanting to keep things simple. Last year, during her appearance on Oprah's show, she mentioned she didn't wear deodorant, saying "it's not her thing." Uh, well, to each their own. However, she's a bit beyond keeping things natural, according to her former bodyguard.

Times of the Internet says that Roberts' former bodyguard told them, "Julia is a total hippie. She'll go days without showing. She likes the smell of her natural oils." Days? Days. Without. Showering.

Maybe she's trying to save money in these fragile economic times. Perhaps she's planning on paying for all three kids' college funds and needs to cut corners wherever possible. I mean a few million clams per movie doesn't go far these days. Plus, she's totally into being green and doing things for the planet, so she's wafting in her own scent for the good of the earth. I wonder how often she baths her kids?

Excuse me, I need to go shower.

Russell Crowe Donating Hair to Locks of Love

Karl Erikson — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:36:00 GMT

Here's Russell Crowe with 4-year-old son, Charlie, as they wander around after school, stopping at a bakery for some yummy stuff. Russell is growing his hair long for his upcoming role as Robin Hood in the movie "Nottingham."

Once he grows out his ponytail to 10 inches, he'll be chopping it off and donating it to the Locks of Love charity, which makes wigs for cancer patients. Very cool. Not that I'd want Russell Crowe's hair, mind you, but still.

Russell Crowe Says Sons Are Complete Opposites

Karl Erikson — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:03:00 GMT

Russell Crowe says that his two sons are complete opposites. He says that 4-year-old Charlie is the "deep thinker," often working his way through books and puzzles, much like his mom, Danielle Spencer. "I've heard him on more than one occasion say that football is really stupid," Russell jokes.

On the other hand, Tennyson (2), is "obsessed with anything with wheels." He also shares with his father a great love for athletics. Russell owns an Australian national rugby team and Tennyson loves the football. "When football is on, he actually gives me a little sparkly-eyed look," says daddy Russell. "He's connecting with that." Even now, months after the Olympics have finished, the family sits down to dinner and Tennyson says, "Lympics! 'Lympics!'"

Charlie's name, by the way, is a family name on both Russell's and Danielle's sides of the family. But Tennyson was a more creative choice. Joking with Russell, Danielle told him she liked the name Tennyson. Russell said, "What does it mean?" She answered, "Second born son of a loving father." "Really?" She said, "No, it means son of Dennis."

Crowe's latest film, "Body of Lies," is in movie theaters now. I haven't seen it because I hate war movies, but Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 51% freshness rating.

And for the record, football IS really stupid.

Liam Neeson's Sons Way Impressed With Dad's New Physique

Karl Erikson — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:45:00 GMT

Liam Neeson is a father of two sons, Micheal and Daniel (13 and 12, respectively), so his latest movie, "Taken," really hits close to home for the actor. In the film, his daughter is kidnapped. Liam and wife Natasha Richardson talked a lot about it during the filming.

Neeson, 56, said, "It just had a double impact with me. I think for any parent, the worst thing you can imagine in life is your child being taken and not knowing what's happened to them."

While "Taken" is coming out in January of next year, Liam's boys have already seen it and really liked. But they were even more approving of Liam's buff physique that he had to gain for the role. "They said, 'Dad, that's cool!' And that was about the highest praise you can get."

The boys haven't yet seen "Schindler's List," however, which is the movie that garnered Liam an Oscar nomination 15 years ago. It's a pretty adult film. He plans on showing it to his oldest son soon. Liam said, "I haven't seen it myself in several years, so I want to watch it again, with Michael and some of his peers."

Here's the trailer for "Taken."

A little sunshower hit the West Village the other night, but that was just fine with little Liv, 6, and mom Julianne Moore, 47. Julianne has been married to Bart Freundlich for 5 years and they also share a son together, Cal, who is 10.

"Blindness," the latest movie from Julianne is in theaters now and is getting a beating from the critics. Interesting premise, but apparently they don't pull it off when it comes to execution.

Paul Newman Dead at 83

Karl Erikson — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Hollywood legend Paul Newman died of cancer last night in his home. The actor was 83 years old. Starring in many Hollywood blockbusters like "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Hustler," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and "The Sting," Newman was also a big fan of car racing and a major philanthropist.

In the 80s, Newman started Newman's Own, a food company. All profits from the company went to charities such as his Hole in the Wall Gang camp. To date, the company has given away more than $200 million. Newman established the camp to benefit gravely ill children.

He has been married to actress Joanne Woodward for 50 years and leaves behind Joanne and four children. A fifth child, son Scott, died in 1978 from an accidental drug overdose.

Rock on, Paul. Loved everything you were in.

Pierce Brosnan Loves His Family

trix — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Pierce Brosnan has family values!

Pierce was raised without a father and has made a committment to himself and his kids that they would know what it feels like to be loved all the time. He and his family live in Malibu, and they paly in the sun and surf together. I'm so jealous.

He has five children all together two children with his wife Keely Shaye Smith and three with his deceased wife Cassandra Harris. It's nice to hear that he is such a family man. He's the whole package, sexy, handsome, loves his wife, loves his kids and he loves the environment, what more is there? Ooh, I hope he loves animals too. Sigh...

I have had a crush on Pierce Brosnan, since his Remington Steele days.

Things I Never Needed To Know About Jack Nicholson

Karen — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:03:00 GMT

Jack Nicholson recently told press he needs to take Viagra when pleasing more than one woman.

I don't even know what the hell to say to that. I'm all for healthy sexuality, but I'm a visual person, and now I have the damn visual. And my brain? She is BLEEDING.

Nicholson, who reportedly has slept with more than 2000 women, went on to TMI us some more: "I like to date a nice range of women each year, but I only use Viagra when I am with more than one." (Otherwise, Le Petit Jack is not here, Mrs. Torrance!)

Nicoholson claims his life has been "one long sexual fantasy", and also is considering writing his memoirs, but is worried it might get in the way of his day-to-day ~~boners~~ existence.

He added: "Sometimes I think to myself, 'Well, Jack, you have met a lot of people over the years, there might just be some interest out there in you recalling some of them.'

'But it would be a bit like taking a picture of the Grand Canyon, it would get in the way of being there."

In this day and age, with his conquests in the thousands, it's a wonder Le Petit Jack hasn't fallen off by now. (Especially since he hates "warm garbage bags" anywhere near his junk. And by junk, I mean dirty old penis.)

Halle Berry Is Devastated About Her Boyfriend's Plans To Stay In New York

Sassy Smith — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 21:03:00 GMT

Halle Berry, 41, is apparently devastated after learning of her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry's has plans to remain in New York, after their baby is born.

Berry had dreams of raising their child in Los Angeles. However, Aubry wants to pursue his modeling career and that is better suited to NY. A source said, "She's been shocked by the news. Halle had always assumed Gabriel would move to the west coast so they could live together as one happy family. If Gabriel stays in New York, it'll mean long separations. She knows their relationship won't survive and has been begging him to change his mind."

Halle wants her baby to have a close relationship with Gabriel because she experienced a long distance relationship with her own dad and wants more for her child. "Halle hardly knew her own dad and they were still estranged at the time of his death, so she's desperate for her daughter to have a father she sees regularly," added the source. Hmm, notice that the source said "daughter" and "she"? It's been reported that Berry is having a boy, so was that a misprint or did the "source" let something slip??? Interesting!

Julia Roberts Says, "I Was Destined To Marry Moder"

Sassy Smith — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:56:00 GMT

Julia Roberts, everyone's favorite ~~I'll eye an other woman's husband~~ Pretty Woman, says she was, "Destined to marry Moder." Awww shucks, that's sweet.

Roberts just knew she was meant to marry Danny Moder from the first moment they met, because as she said, "her body told her so." Um, okay. I think that's called "lust", just a little FYI Julia. She began dating the then married Moder in 2000 after they met on the set of The Mexican-he was a cameraman during the filming of the movie.

Roberts says, “It’s the most correct decision I’ve ever made in my life - not that it was even a decision, because it just overtakes you. My whole body knew: ‘Yes.’ He’s just my favorite guy.” I'm sure, maybe, his then wife, probably thought the same thing, that he was her favorite guy. Just sayin'. None of my business really.

Julia and Danny married in 2002 and they have three kids together: two-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and six-month-old Henry. One big happy family.
