Betty Ford, before First Lady and the choice advocate, passes in 93

published: 2011-07-08 22:05:59 Throughout history, First Ladies of the United States have been a whole lot more popular than their husbands. One could debate a lot of different theories as to why that’s so, but the most commonly held viewpoint stems from a narrow scope. A President has to weigh in on the prevalent issues of the day, regardless of how polarizing they may be, whereas a First Lady typically champions one, good-natured social issue throughout her husband’s term. Laura Bush fought for literacy, Nancy Reagan for keeping children off drugs and Lady Bird Johnson for decreasing highway billboards. Of course…

Makes the plan Sony to issue the magnetic tape

2011-06-03 22:01:26 Author: Mack Rawden Three years ago, Kevin Smith convinced Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks to tape themselves messing around in Zack And Miri Make A Porno , and the result was one of the more underrated and slyly brilliant comedies of the last decade. Now another studio is planning to film a different couple getting busy, but this married pair’s homemade tape promises to bring with it a few more negative consequences. Sony has just purchased the rights to a new Kate Angelo script tentatively titled Sex Tape . The comedy follows a conservative couple that impulsively gets the camera out for…

Plan about Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton love story prime movie

2011-06-01 20:43:00 Author: Katey Rich When Elizabeth Taylor died earlier this year, many obituaries focused as much on her impressive acting work as her famously torrid personal life. Taylor was married eight times, but there’s probably no man she’s more closely associated with than Richard Burton, a fellow actor she met while co-starring in Cleopatra (both were married at the time) and whom she married twice before finally divorcing for good in the mid-70s. Though Burton died in 1984 Taylor apparently carried a torch for him for the rest of her life, to the point that The Daily Mail reports she…

Sounds to mix: Pegg is smoking large grain Simon, Seth MacFarlane talks tasteless and the war

published: 2011-05-31 15:43:18 If you have followed the Tweet Blend post for the past week of its’ existence, you’ve probably noticed that there are a couple of Tweeters that are just about always on this list. Conan, Seth MacFarlane are prime examples of Twitter users that use Twitter just to remind everyone that they’re out there. These are guys that have a show on almost every night, and an increased visibility increases the likelihood that you’ll tune in to their show that night. This works because they are both genuinely funny people. Who are your favorite tweet-a-day twitter users? Drop…

Reaches may it fan with Elizabeth broadcasts one to very good girl’s Olsen

2011-05-13 07:52:06 Author: Sean O’Connell Naomi Foner’s Very Good Girls sounds like it could be the next sex-crazed teen comedy, a successor to the American Pie series or a distant cousin to Superbad . Then you get a load of its cast, which should lead you to believe it’s operating on a more mature playing field. Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, Peter Sarsgaard, Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek have joined Foner’s production, which will be financed by Ealing Metro International and Prescience. Very Good Girls , which Foner wrote and will direct, currently is being shopped around the Cannes Film Festival, according to Deadline…

By Elizabeth Shue and house by the flick of Jennifer’s horror Lawrence at the end street coming in February

2011-04-23 11:48:35 Author: Mack Rawden All has been quiet for nearly a year on Relativity’s horror flick The House At The End Of The Street , but during that period of media silence, director Mark Tonderai completed photography and is now putting the finishing touches on his movie in preparation for a February, 2012 release. Ordinarily, February is a burial ground for failed efforts studios want to release against weaker competition, but the informal rules regarding horror movie release dates are entirely different. Apart from Halloween which always features a couple of screamers, the rest of the year is inconsistently littered with the remaining…

In an example of the perfect casting, [banky] of Elizabeth they will play the trinket Of effie in the games of the hunger

2011-04-18 19:34:14 Author: Katey Rich Just hours after two young actors were brought on board to play the tributes from District 11 Rue and Thresh, another major character in The Hunger Games has gotten an actor, and it’s a perfect bit of casting. According to Variety Elizabeth Banks will play Effie Trinket, the woman assigned by the government to shepherd the District 12 tributes– that’d be Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson)– through the immense pomp and circumstance surrounding the Games. If you haven’t read the books it’s a little hard to explain, but the Hunger Games in the story are both a…
