BEYONCE STARRING IN YET ANOTHER REMAKE

Beyonce is rumoured to star in the remake of the 1964 TV Series Gilligan’s Island playing the role of 'Ginger Grant' famously portrayed by Tina Louise. Hmmm...come on Hollywood. Are there no original scripts in LA? Beyonce will star opposite Juno and Superbad actor, Michael Cera as Gilligan. The Picture is set to be released in 2011.

It is also rumoured that Russell Crowe has been cast opposite the voluptuous singer in the remake of A Star is Born. This will be the fourth remake for this film. If first you don't succeed - try, try, try, try again!

The classic film was first made in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March in the lead roles, which won an Oscar for Best Writing, Original Story. It was made again in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason who both won Best Actor Golden Globes for their roles.
Then the film was remade yet again in 1976 with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. The picture won an Oscar for Best Music, Original Song.
Maybe this fourth dubb will bring Mrs. Carter a Best Actress Oscar?
Hmmm...what do you think?

Star is set for a 2012 release and has attached The Notebook director, Nick Cassevettes to direct. Mad Men's gorgeous Jon Hamm and singers Alicia Keys and Rihanna are also said to be attached. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros.

LOUIS GOSSETT JR ANNOUNCES HE HAS PROSTATE CANCER

Louis Gossett Jr., who took home the golden prize in 1982 for An Officer and a Gentleman, announced today that he's been diagnosed with the early stages of prostate cancer.

The 73-year-old claims he wants the world to know in order "to set an example for the large number of African-American men who are victims of this disease because of the comparatively low emphasis in our community on preventative examinations and early treatment," he told KTLA News in Los Angeles. "I want to influence them to seek, as I have, the fine medical care and early detection now available."

Wow...I just saw the 1983 Best Supporting Actor, Oscar winner at an event at the Paley Media Arts center last week for the screening of "THE BLACKS LIST" Vol 3. He looked really good and healthy. The Hollywood Glitz hopes he gets well.

WHITAKER SET FOR CRIMINAL MINDS SPIN-OFF

by Michael Ausiello

Oscar winner Forest Whitaker is nearing a deal to headline CBS’ in-the-works spin-off of Criminal Minds, sources confirm to me semi-exclusively.

Whitaker would play Cooper, the new team’s fiercely loyal and intensely private leader. A former star profiler in the BAU, Coop’s been off the grid for the last eight years — leaving only a trail of rumors in his wake.

Minds 2.0 will follow the NCIS/NCIS: LA model in that the new team will be introduced in an episode of Minds this spring before being launched into their own show next fall. Seasoned industry professionals like myself refer to it as a “planted” spin-off.

This is Whitaker’s first regular TV gig since his mesmerizing turn as Michael Chiklis’ arch-nemesis, Jon Kavanaugh, on The Shield.

I'm loving this. Whitaker was AWESOME on The Shield, so his own show is going to be fit for an Emmy. Many film actors are making that leap to TV. Why not - steady work if you can get it.

ANGELINA JOLIE PAYS VIDEO TRIBUTE TO HER MOM

Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven pay a touching tribute to their mother Marcheline Bertrand who died of ovarian cancer on January 27, 2007. The siblings posted a video on YouTube which includes footage from their private home movies. The video starts with their April 1981 trip to the tropical island of Hawaii.

BRAD AND ANGELINA ARE STILL TOGETHER

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton spoke to Maggie Rodriguez about the new reports saying actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are separating. Who is making up this mess - the National Enquirer? Hmmmmm! But they did get Tiger's ish right.

Brangelina are still together and doing just fine. Why are the tabloids trying to split this couple up? And another thing - I'm so tired of people trying to throw Jennifer Aniston in the middle of this relationship. Brad and Jen was so like 5 years ago...get over it. They are no more. That's like me holding out for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck...never going to happen.

DUMB LUCK OR JUST DUMB?

According to The NY POST, American Idol Michael "Big Mike" Lynche, was picked last week for the Top 24 but was booted over the weekend.

The reason: his father told a local newspaper that his son made the semifinals,
a violation of the show's confidentiality rules.

The paper reported that
his father confirmed he'd made it to the Top 24.

The "Idol" spoiler site
Joe's Place, which has a history of digging up reliable inside info on the
show's contestants, reported over the weekend that Lynche has been replaced by
another singer from the Top 50 qualifiers.

It sounds like he was so excited about his son making th eshow that he couldn't hold it in! Should Michael be penalized and kicked off of the show because of a big-mouthed relative (Parent)?

THE OTHER LOPEZ

So everyone knows I love me some Jennifer Lopez so, I'm not going to say anything super negative about her. Jen switched it up and did a little comedy on the George Lopez show. She came out and hit the JAIL (pose)!!! Too funny!!!
It was cute and she looked like she had a blast doing it. The Leno and Conan jokes were funny...but did she call Sarah Palin a La Cabrona!!! George definitely wrote these jokes.

GRAMMY'S SALUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON IN 3D

This year, MJ will be a focal point of the show, with an unprecedented posthumous tribute. The Grammys will broadcast a 3-D clip the singer made for his hit "Earth Song," a video that was to be integral to his comeback concerts in London in July 2009 - shows that never happened because of his June 25 death in Los Angeles.

Usher, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson will perform alongside the clip, which Ehrlich says will be the first time an awards show will feature 3-D.

"Whenever we would do a show with [Jackson], the first thing he would say to me was, `How can we do something that we [have] never done before?' And now we're doing something that hasn't been done before," said Ehrlich, who worked with Jackson for almost 30 years, in an interview Tuesday.

Organizers said 3-D glasses will be provided to the Grammy audience in Los Angeles and U.S. TV viewers will be able to get free 3-D glasses through a partnership between broadcasters CBS and retail store Target.
