Popsofa Entertainment Lounge - Tues May 13, 2008
Here's a rundown of entertainment tidbits for Tues May 13, 2008. Remy Ma faces eight years in jail for shooting a former associate last year. The quarrel was over $3,000 that went missing from her purse. She had initially faced up to 25 years, and prosecutors asked for thirteen years. Her lawyers plan to appeal. [via Village Voice] Iron Man beats out Speed Racer to take #1 in the box office two weekends in a row. ...

Movies Opening Today - Fri Feb 29, 2008
Yes, it's Leap Day today, so there are five movie release dates this month. But there are only two wide-release films today. Wide-Release Film Openings My money's on The Other Boleyn Girl (Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Eric Bana) to be in next year's Oscar nominees list. Though whether Boleyn Girl will beat Will Ferrell's outrageous Semi-Pro (Andre 3000, Woody Harrelson, Will Arnett, Maura Tierney, Rob Corddry) in the box office this weekend is hard to say. Limited-Release Film Openings There ...
Will There Be a Cloverfield 2?
While there isn't officially a Cloverfield sequel scheduled, JJ Abrams reportedly recently said that if there is one, there'll be another monster. I'm not holding my breath. I mostly hated Cloverfield - hated the storyline, hated the boring camera work, hated the annoying yuppie characters and actually hoped they'd all get stomped. Though I did love the monster and the seven minutes of thrill that the movie provided. But if that's the garbage that director Matt ...
Matt Damon Says: More Bourne For You!
Matt Damon has reversed earlier sentiments and is now saying that he'll be returning for a fourth Bourne movie. Number three, The Bourne Ultimatum, scored three Oscars Sunday night at the 80th Annual Academy Awards. Damon will appear in Margaret this year. In 2009, he'll be in Green Zone, The Human Factor and The Informant.
Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova?
At the 80th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night, Sean Penn was snapped with supermodel Petra Nemcova. Penn, who is divorcing wife Robin Wright Penn, has been dating for awhile now. His choice of Nemcova almost seems odd. I remember one film he did (but not the name) in which his character is dating an annoying, skinny model. If I recall, he arrives in his hometown and finally says to her something like, "You're too skinny. ...
Did Jennifer Aniston Preserve Her Eggs?
With so many celebrity vaginas currently occupied, there aren't too many female celebs that aren't pregnant. Jennifer Aniston is one of very few in the latter category. MSNBC is reporting that Aniston has put her eggs on ice, in hopes of having children later. I guess since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (who some feel stole Brad away from Jennifer) didn't show up to the Oscar party that the three of them were to host ...
Oscar Gaffes: In Memoriam and Host Retrospective
Someone was asleep in the Oscars crew at least twice for Sunday night's 80th Annual Academy Awards show. First, they left out Brad Renfro in the Memoriam segment. Young Renfro died about a week before Heath Ledger, whose image ended the segment. TMZ and other sites report that Academy says that they can't include everyone. (I think they missed Allan Melvin, too, who played Sam on the Brady Bunch TV show.) Now that's the big boo-boo, ...
Lindsay Lohan Wins Eight Awards!
Ha ha. Made you look. No, Lindsay Lohan didn't win any Oscars. But she and her last movie, I Know Who Killed Me, sweeped the 28th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards. She and her Killed Me cohorts won eight of the eleven categories, with Eddie Murphy and Norbit taking the other three. Lohan's categories include worst actress, worst supporting actress, worst screen couple. [via dlisted, BBC News, PageSix.com]
80th Annual Academy Awards: Oscar Presenters and Winners
Jon Stewart hosted the 80th Annual Academy Awards. He started off funny but just before introducing Jennifer Garner, he made fun of Barack Obama's name and spewed some crap about "Adolf Titler." Jennifer Garner presented Best Costume Design. Winner: Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell presented Best Animated Feature (winner: Ratatouille). Katherine Heigl presented Best Achievement in Makeup. Winner: La Vie En Rose (aka Mome, La). Duane "The Rock" Johnson presented Best Visual Effects. Winner: The ...
Who Will/ Should Senator Barack Obama Choose As His Running Mate?
By now, its probably pretty obvious that Senator Barack Obama will be the Democratic Presidential nominee for 2008. It's just a matter of Hilary Clinton admitting defeat, after 11 straight losses including Wisconsin. Anyway, every Presidential nominee has to choose a running mate, and I've been thinking about who he's going to choose and why, in decreasing likelihood. Here are my picks: John Edwards - Why not? Edwards is like a miniature Kennedy, with a degree of ...
Angelina Had a Lesbian Fling?
Angelina Jolie might have had a lesbian relationship with an assistant producer on the set of Gone in 60 Seconds. So says Misty Cooper in quite the tell-all, complete with suggestive photos. Well whether this is true or not, as Jolie has said in the past, she doesn't hide her bisexuality. Jolie has said that she doesn't have a place for that in her life any more, but Cooper suggests that that's probably not true and ...
Lindsay Lohan Slated For Movie With Jack Black
Lindsay Lohan is projectless no more. While Dare to Love Me (2008) is already in production, she had nothing else on her schedule. Until she appeared nude in a recreation of Marilyn Monroe's last photo shoot in 1962. Well, the timing seems suspect, but it could be a coincidence. She's signed to appear in Ye Olde Times with Jack Black. (I don't know. I just don't seem them having any chemistry together.) Filming starts in April. ...
Jenna Fischer’s Finally A Star?
The Office's wholesome girl next door actress Jenna Fischer has had her virginity broken. Paparazzi stalking viriginity, that is. A pap popped up a snapped some pics of her and her sis when she exited a grocery store in Beverly Hills recently. At first she thought it was for some "famous person" behind her, but realized the pap was snapping her. Jenna currently appears in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and will appear in ...

- A source close to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly confirmed on Jolie's behalf that she is pregnant. I suppose it's hard to deny it anymore when you look like this. Now if there are any babies that deserve $6M for exclusive photos upon birth, it's the children of two of the most beautiful people on Earth - namely Jolie and Pitt, not Jennifer Lopez. What's more, if they get offered the money and accept it, they're likely to donate it to one of their charity efforts. read...
- Um, what? Has hottie Kate Hudson been seeing Justin Timberlake for a year? The same Justin Timberlake that's supposedly about to propose to equally hot Jessica Biel? Say it ain't so. How does an untalented, middle of the road short pop idiot like Timberlake get two hotties? Oh yeah, cat fight time!! read...
- OK Magazine reports that Nicole Richie's post-birthing slimming secret is the Spanx undergarments she's been wearing. (You know, the hose replacement profiled on Oprah?) But I maintain that the real secret is the mad partying that she and baby-daddy Joel Madden have been doing. I mean, who the hell has a baby and then goes out and parties all hours of the night shortly afterwards? Doesn't Nicole feel any maternal instinct? And she was doing so well, gifting other mothers, holding showers, participating in a charity that she and Joel had started. read...
- It's good to hear that funny man Owen Wilson has recovered from his alleged suicide attempt and is working again. His current project is Marley and Me with Jennifer Aniston. It starts shooting March and opens Dec 25th. He'll also be in Outsourced and Drillbit Taylor this year. read...
- Let's recap here. Lily Allen miscarries, loses boyfriend Ed Simons, gets a talk show but 1/3 of the audience walks out. And previously, thanks to dropping four dress sizes, she had a lingerie promo deal with Agent Provacateur. But due to a bitter divorce split between two of the company's bosses, Allen just got dropped. I'm guessing that despite rumors of her wearing an engagement ring and visiting Ed Simons on the weekends, she's not back with him. Why? Because she's talking about a crush for Ricky Gervais, and how she has a thing for bald men with hair backs. Alriiiighty then. read...
- Remember that really cute actress who kept taking a beating in the Scary Movie horror spoofs? She's single, guys. Her divorce was just finalized, and she's free of actor Benjamin Indra, who got to take the motorcycle, moped and pickup truck in the agreement. Too bad the divorce between Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney can't be settled so simply. read...

- It almost seems comical... Horror director Wes Craven is suing comedian Pauly Shore, and Shore is countersuing Craven. They each blame the other for landscaping activities/ inactivities that caused the two neighbors property damage in the Hollywood Hills. Maybe the should put on white gloves and just slap each other silly, then call it a day. It'll be more satisfying. Really. read...
- Sexy Elizabeth Hurley recently married Arun Nayer, an East Indian millionaire business man. Rumors are that the couple have a maid that reportedly only gets paid about $200/wk. The maid, Violet D'Souza, is from India, where $200/wk is actually a lot of money. Except she works for the couple in the UK, not India. The amount, if true, is about $3/hr - way below the UK minimum wage. Further rumors indicate that the maid dropped her claims after being given a five-figure payout. read...
- The New York State Health Commissioner wants movies that show cigarettes to get an R rating. This is in hopes that kids under 18 don't try to imitate celebrities who smoke. Despite city and state efforts to ban public smoking over the past several years, movies still show smoking and often glamorize the act. The Health Dept has taken out full-page ads in the NY Times and Wall Street Journal as part of an $800,000 campaign. read...
