Sin City 2: Angelina Out, Rachel In
A source close to the production of Sin City 2 is claiming that Angelina Jolie is out of the running and Rachel Weisz is in. Director Robert Rodriguez has always wanted Angelina to star in his sequel Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For but because of scheduling conflicts, it looks like Rachel might be taking on the role of Ava Lord. Rachel Weisz: A Dame To Kill For? Hmmmm…

California. Have fun at the movies.
Don’t you think they will go to the Oscars even if Brad’s not nominated? Babel will surely be nominated, and he might go to show his support.
I found this on 411 Mania.com and it is funny, I don’t usually post things like this here, but I wanted to share it with you guys, pay special attention to No. 1:
THE TOP 5 CELEBRITIES WHO SHOULD SIT OUT 2007
Trevor Snyder
Honorable Mentions
- Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan/Britney Spears: Well, duh, right? These three could easily take up all but two of the spots in my Top 5, but they’re all SO obvious that I decided it wasn’t even really worth including them anywhere but here. Besides, I don’t have much more to add about them beyond what my fellow writers will later in the column – suffice to say that when I saw the picture in the press of the three of them in a car together, I remember thinking “wow, the world might just better off if that car was to go flying off a cliff.” Now, while I do hate a lot of annoying celebrities, it’s very rare that I wish actual physical harm to anyone, so if I, even for a moment, was taking a moment for a pleasant fantasy about these three pulling a Thelma & Louise, that’s saying something.
- Kevin Federline: What do I even really have to explain about this one? Let me just say that Kevin Federline is the worst kind of has-been loser celebrity – the kind that knows that everyone thinks he’s a joke, and so thinks he’ll be able to get in everyone’s good graces by playfully mocking his loser status. Well, no, Kevin, that’s not the case. I don’t want to see you play a ****** white rapper that everyone hates in any TV shows, commercials, or pro wresting events. I just don’t want to see you at all. Can you make that happen for me, please?
- Dustin Diamond: It was somewhat amusing, in a sad way, when Diamond tried to raise the money to save his house from demolishment by hawking “I Saved Screech’s House” t-shirts online. But releasing a sex tape? A SEX TAPE? Dude, you’re Screech. You always will be Screech. When you die, your obituary will read “Screech is dead.” I know that sucks, but don’t take it out on us by trying to get us to watch what must be the most unappealing celebrity sex tape ever (and that’s saying something, since 1 Night in China is still floating around out there).
5. Jack Black: This one almost pains me to say, because I really, really like Jack Black. But 2006 was not his greatest year. Sure, Nacho Libre was a hit, and was mildly entertaining, but it was nowhere near as good as a movie about Jack Black as a Mexican luchadore should have been, you know? Then, he delivered the long-awaited Tenacious D movie and sophomore album. The only problem? The album was nothing more than a hastily thrown together collection of the songs from the movie, not a real album like fans had been waiting for. As for the movie itself, it proved to be a few years too late, apparently – and it didn’t help that it was simply an average rehashing of much better material already done on their much better HBO series from a few years back. Not surprisingly, the movie tanked. Big time. By the time his romantic comedy with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz rolled around, it was looking like Black was getting by simply by coasting on how funny he was in 2004 and 2005. If Black wants to get back in everyone’s good graces, he and Kyle Gass should lock themselves in a recording studio for the next year and record a REAL follow-up album, and then Black should try to find another role like School of Rock, a heartwarming but funny comedy that plays to all his strengths.
4. Jessica Simpson: Something tells me that Jessica Simpson spends a lot of her time nowadays thinking back to when her sister Ashlee was busted lip-synching on Saturday Night Live, fondly recalling when it was Ashlee, not her, that was the family’s biggest embarrassment. But, let’s face it, those days are long gone. It’s been quite some time since Ashlee has done anything to make an ass out of herself, actually, while Jessica spent pretty much all of 2006 doing just that. I bet when Jessica and Nick finally decided to call it quits, Jessica was assuming that most of America would side with her and she would be showered with sympathy. When it didn’t quite go that way, and Nick’s CD ended up outselling Jessica’s, she went into full-out panic mode – made only worse by the fact that Nick found a new woman and was out there looking genuinely happy. Soon, Jessica was making up a relationship with John Mayer in a desperate attempt to get some attention…a plan that might have worked, except for one tiny detail: she forgot to clear it with Mayer, who quickly denied it. When sources close to Mayer stated that he was annoyed at Jessica’s ruse, her clever ploy was up, and exposed to the public no less. This signaled the beginning of the end for Jessica, as she spent the rest of the year apparently sinking deeper and deeper into some sort of nervous breakdown, culminating in her now infamous botching of “9 to 5″ at the Kennedy Center Honors for Dolly Parton, where she managed to continuously flub the lines to the song (even with cue cards!) before finally stopping mid-song and apologizing, and then proceeded to simply freeze-up on stage for awhile before finally running off stage crying. The producers of the show eventually allowed Jessica to return to the stage and re-do her performance – after the audience had left, mind you – but after viewing the tape of her improved re-do, they decided it still wasn’t up to snuff and decided not to include it in the television version of the special. Ouch. Clearly, the one person who would benefit even more than us from Jessica Simpson taking 2007 off is Jessica Simpson herself.
3. Gwen Stefani: This one is a tad different than my others, I suppose, since it has more to do with the fact that I simply don’t want to hear Stefani at all in 2007. Besides her increasingly ridiculous outfits, I certainly have nothing against seeing more of Stefani this year. But, as far as her music is concerned, she must be stopped. Ever since she broke away from No Doubt and went the solo route, her singles have been subsequently worse and worse. It’s as if she’s on some kind of personal mission to release the worst song ever or something. And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, now she has competition in that category, as apparently Fergie has the very same idea. Stefani certainly takes the challenge very seriously, which is why she has risen up and delivered “Wind it Up,” which is not only the worst song I’ve ever heard, but might just be one of the worst things in human history, ever. I can only shudder to think how bad her next single will be – if your first single off your new album is “Wind it Up,” what horrors could you possibly follow it with? I’m sure I’ll soon be finding out, but I think I and everyone else would be a lot better off without that knowledge.
2. Dane Cook: Hey, remember that time when Dane Cook told that funny story about flinging a cashew off of the tip of his *****? Or that time he suggested turning off all the lights in the building and having the audience play “who’s in my mouth?” Of course you do, because he did those jokes approximately 7000 times in 2006. Every single talk show appearance, award show gig, and episode of Tourgasm, there was Dane Cook cracking the exact same jokes we’d already heard time and time again. And the more and more he told him, the more glaringly obvious it became that beyond his manic energy, there’s really not much more to Cook’s routine than the same old, standard “have you ever noticed that” or “isn’t it funny how” observational humor that has pretty much been done to death over the years (women are more emotional than men? Get outta town – that’s hilarious!). Look, I’m not 100% against the guy – his first album was really good, and there were some pretty funny moments in his double-disc follow-up. But to see him suddenly become THE biggest star in stand-up is pretty frustrating, since there are a lot of more talented comedians out there right now? Like who? Well, off the top of my head – Lewis Black, Jim Gaffigan, Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Zach Galifinakis, Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Todd Barry, Brian Regan, Daniel Tosh…eh, you get the point. And what really bugs me about Cook is how his new “cool and hip” status has suddenly transcended him beyond just a stand-up, even though he’s clearly not ready for it. And Hollywood is guilty in this part of it, since they’ve played right into the “let’s jump onto the Cook bandwagon” mentality. Cook includes a bit about Superman t-shirts in his stand-up routine, and suddenly there he is on the red carpet at the Superman Returns premiere. He has jokes about Transformers in his routine, and he is rewarded with a role in Michael Bay’s Transformers. Really, that’s all it takes? Because if that’s the case, I can have a whole routine of Jenna Jameson jokes ready for you within a week. If Cook takes 2007 off, writes a brand-new act, and comes back with some strong material in 2008, maybe his fame will start to look just the tiniest bit more deserved. Maybe. But for God’s sake, enough with the SNL hosting!
1. Jennifer Aniston: Everyone has had those friends and loved ones who go through a bad break-up, and then take forever to get over it, not letting anyone forget the “pain” they’re going through in the process. Jennifer Aniston is kinda like that friend for all of America. Seriously, what has it been now, two freakin’ years since Brad left her, and I’m still supposed to feel bad for her? No thanks. At a certain point you get up, dust yourself off, and move on with your life. And that doesn’t mean hooking up with Vince Vaughn, and then expecting me to feel bad for you again when that relationship doesn’t work either. Or to sympathize with you when Angelina says she’d like to get to talk to you someday, which for some reason prompted even more “oh, what pain and heartbreak Jennifer must be feeling” talk. GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE! I officially have absolutely no emotional investment in whether or not Jennifer finally finds herself a man – unless of course that man ends up being me, in which case I will gladly remove her from this list. Until then, however, how about you get out there and make a couple movies that actually don’t suck, and try to earn the ridiculous amount of press coverage you get.
I didn’t like Sin C ity 1. Thought it was a waste of time. Looking forward to Sin City 2 because Angelina might be starring, (She could make any role worth watching) but now …….. hmmmmmmm. Rachel is cute and all BUT she is no Dame To Kill For. Sigh!

4 Q : thanks for the info about the dress.
I love the dress. Everytime I see the pics I like it more and more.
I´m sure that the next dress they design for her it will be a dream (may be for the Oscar…let´s hope).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It really is such a beautiful gown. I keep trying to figure out what makes it so appealing, there is just something about the way Angelina is wearing it and how the material flows. Did anyone else notice Rachel Weisz’s gown when she was awarding the BSA? It was a beautiful red gown that she looked wonderful in and I would give anything to see Angelina wear a red gown similar to that.

The more I see that dress the more I fall in love. I have been wondering what shoes she wore. I’ve yet to see a shot of them.
I can tell you that they were black and open toed, anyway. I watched the red carpet videos closely because I was curious about the same thing, but only caught one quick flash of shoe.
FYI:
Star Magazine has an article about Brad, Angelina and Jen meeting or planning to meet. What’s interesting is the article talked about how in clearly in love Brad and Angie are and how loving they were on the red carpet. Unlike when he was with a certain someone.
ABS always does a version of the dresses shown on the red carpet. ON ET
Tonight on ET, we’re with ALLEN B. SCHWARTZ, owner of ABS and Allen B. fashions (www.absstyle.com), who uses the star styles as inspiration for his line of affordable dresses.
Pure white was the hot trend on the red carpet Sunday night, with stars like “Desperate Housewives” TERI HATCHER and NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN, supermodel/mom HEIDI KLUM, “Ugly Betty” star/exec producer SALMA HAYEK and ‘Charlie’s Angels’ leader DREW BARRYMORE sporting an angelic hue.
“The white was a nice statement,” Allen tells ET. “White is great 12 months a year. Right now white is a very important trend in the fashion business.”
With the help of Allen’s amazing staff, likenesses of Drew’s beautiful dress can soon be yours for a fraction of the price!
Present to support hubby BRAD PITT, ANGELINA JOLIE looked modern yet classic in a charcoal-grey sleeveless gown by ST. JOHN’s with gold jewels.
Angelina’s dress was a very easy dress to wear,” says Allen. “It’s very figure-enhancing; it sat nicely on her — very flattering to anybody. Our version of the Angelina dress will retail for under $300.”

To 875 Lynn Cambell.
I´d love to see her in a red dress. She´d look amazing.
I know black, white and brown are like her favorite colours, but I would love to see her wearing turquoise, fucsia, pink, lila, even yellow….don´t you?
The overall review of the red carpet appearance was good. They also showed how to get her hairstyle and makeup on T.V. tonight. I hope St. John can cash in, in the dress department.
I’m gay. I just felt like sharing, …
Really, really, really gay.

I agree, she would look great in any of those colors, but red would still be my favorite!

The singer is Angie’s friend >> I forgot his name??
Original Curious and Stardust I know you’re probably not on here right now but I went against my better judgment and watched TCR w/ BOR. Ah…Stephen indirectly called him a sexual predator :lol: Then he asked him who had the better parking space at Fox News him or HANNITY! To which BOR replied “Hannity” and when asked him who would win in a fight…he named Sean again. The copy of BOR’s book that Stephen held..it had a 30% sticker on his face. Oh and he showed a horrifyingly photoshopped picture of BOR that I’m trying to bury deep within my mind. I love Stephen so… Now that’s he’s had BOR on his show he needs to go for the top…Angie :)
Amaya. I think is Wyclef Jean. He is from Haiti. and he has a foundation.

Thanks Lylian for the article. I would like to note the irony here: Forests benefit all of us as humans living on the planet (carbon sinks), yet the responsibility of conserving forests are delegated to poor villagers who have no other means to sustain their livelihoods other than the products they obtain from the forest. By providing sustainable economic life to the vilages MJP foundation directly benefits these villagers, indirectly benefits to the environmental quality of the planet, which all of us, fans and haters alike, share.
Thanks once again, ~curly
How very true curly. But that’s why what the MJPP is doing is so important. They are trying to change a fundamental mindset about forests and wild animals.
I grew up in south east asia and I can still remember a mind set that viewed forests as a sort of waste land. Timber for exploitation and clearing to grow cash crops like rubber, oil palm and other things. I don’t blame anyone for having that mindset then and I don’t blame anyone who is poor for seeing the wild animals as having no value unless you kill them and sell their body parts as medicines. MJPP is trying to find a way to give the poor people a way to make a living out of the preserving and conserving the forest, and the wild animals by making tourism attractive. If they succeed, then in time, the poaching and the timber stealing will stop. As consumers, we do our bit by refusing to purchase timber, animal parts which may be illegally obtained. As I’ve stated, a visit to Angkor Wat is ever on my list of places to go and it will happen in the next 3 years when my daughter is a little older. Who knows, I will also visit Samlaut district if they are serious about promoting tourism.
I’m really very very glad that Brad and Angelina are continuing to take an active interest in Cambodia. There was a while there when I wondered because all the focus seemed to be on Africa, which is also very understandable as at least, Cambodia is in the healing and rebuilding phase of their development and not at war. Still Cambodia is in south east asia and I’ve been aware of the country’s suffering for more then 3 decades first during the cold war as a pawn between the Vietcong, China Russia and America and then later in the hands of the Khmer Rouge. I was watching a programme on Cambodia and an older American journalist described how Cambodia was carpet bombed during the Vietnam war era. Many of the land mines still buried in Cambodia are the result of this conflict.
During the height of the mad cow disease, some wit suggested that instead of killing the cows thought to MIGHT have been affected by BSE, that they should be shipped to the Cambodia, allowed to wander and set off the land mines. I know that horrified a lot of animal lovers and understand why that would be horrific. But still, I can’t help thinking it wasn’t altogether a bad idea.

“….. Apart from the total loss of objectivity, these companies are all about making money and if lies sells, then that’s what they will peddle. When I say loss of objectivity, case in point….A few years back, there was a child molestation accusation leveled at Disney World…we heard the news everywhere but ABC….why? Because Disney Owns ABC. Do you think NBC will ever do an expose on GE? Or CBS on Viacom? What we should be asking ourselves is - What happened to the media being the gatekeeper for the people? So you can’t fault anyone for being a little skeptical of these so called “legit” news source. Another thing, we don’t believe anything written in the tabloids….Period.”
Very true AG. Following Brad and Angelina has been an educational experience about tabloids but also about soft news and hard news (I read your later post. I’m working backwards on this thread). Hard news too deserves scrutiny. What ever I read nowadays, I understand that it may be a skewed truth. I don’t judge the situation based on one report alone.
Sorry Amaya, I meant Missouri fan.
I think is Wyclef Jean. He is from Haiti. and he has a foundation.

Anybody has the link of Dianne Sawyer’s video interview with Brad >> the one on this video?
I would appreciate much. Thank you.
I am very unhappy with Dianne S. saying Angie is a h.w.
Did anybody heard or read any remarks or comments from Dianne S re: Brad & Angie GG red carpet walk? Hope she said something nice.
