There have been new reports of different photos that can be viewed via the Internet of "The Beaver" now. Summit Entertainment has provided them with this new photo of Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson in the Beaver.
The release date for this film has been set yet, although they are shooting for July of 2011. It is being released by Summit Entertainment of course and Starring Mel Gibson and an outstanding cast of members. This is a comedy and drama type film and one that will keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense wondering what is going to happen next. The rating for this film is not available yet.
If you love a good comedy combined with a drama then this is a must see for those interested. There are already people anticipating it coming out because they have seen previews of the film. It will probably be a movie for the entire family, however only time will tell for the rating to be announced.
The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster, stars Gibson as a man who suffers a midlife crisis so extreme and bizarre that he starts communicating exclusively via a beaver puppet on his hand. The movie seemed to have been made as a kind of comeback vehicle for Gibson, who hasn’t starred in a hit in the last decade and was just starting to move beyond, uh, that other awkward moment when he harassed someone and revealed himself as a racist. The Beaver is very likely to be a good movie– Jodie Foster is certainly a talented director.
Although she is being paid more than them, but Priyanka Chopra refused to join the bandwagon of Bipasha Basu, Mallika Sherawat & Co.
The actress has kicked a Rs 3 crore offer to shimmy at a 5-star hotel for this New Year’s Eve. This amount being offered to her is actually double of what she would demand for a role in a film (Rs 1.5 crore, at last count).
The time it would take to earn this amount is as little as 3 hours of actual work. The schedule of a film is much longer, going into months. So why has Chops turned down such a profitable offer?
The answer is her diva image that she has been painstakingly building up over the last few years. A source close to Priyanka told, “A 5-star hotel in Andheri came up with an offer to Priyanka asking her spin аt thе stirring Nеw Year’s Eve. Priyanka turned them down politely.” Explaining why Priyanka declined, the source added,Priyanka is very uncomfortable dancing in hotels in front of a live audience.
Getting ready for an outbound flight, Vanessa Hudgens was seen arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California.
Looking to be battling chapped lips, the "Sucker Punch" actress strolled into the terminal keeping warm with a winter scarf before disappearing past the security checkpoint.
The jet-setting adventure comes amidst reports claiming that Miss Hudgens and boyfriend Zac Efron are being courted to be hosts of the US version of "The X Factor".
Apparently, Simon Cowell has decided having Dermot O'Leary on the show would make for too many Brits - which has switched his focus to Zanessa.
According to source, "There could only be Simon and an absolute maximum of one other Brit on the show. He wants that Brit to be Cheryl [Cole]. Dermot will be completely distraught. He spent months in America lobbying to get this job. He held out a lot of hope. But he can't compete with Zac and Vanessa. They are two of the biggest stars in the States and will make American X Factor the biggest show in the world."
And while this is Cowell's desire, it's still up in the air, as the insider added, "They are more popular than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with under-30s in America. They're in huge demand and would have to turn down a lot of work in order to do this."
Director Sujoy Ghosh, who has roped in Vidya Balan for his forthcoming film "Kahani", believes the actress can indentify good scripts. "What I like about Vidya is that she is dead fussy, but in a good way. She has an uncanny sense about scripts," Ghosh said in a statement. Ghosh is justified in his belief - with roles like a struggling mother of a progeria patient in Paa to a brutally seductive rural woman in Ishqiya, she has always treaded different path.
Not only that, her next release "No One Killed Jessica", based on the real life incident of model Jessica Lal's murder, will see her playing Sabrina Lal, who fought tooth and nail to get justice for her sister. Set in Kolkata, Ghosh's Kahani is a woman-oriented thriller.
"Much like Hrithik Roshan, Vidya is quite a risk taker. She loves getting out of her comfort zone and pushing herself with every single film. She loves experimenting and she is the kind of actress who can pulls off every role. She is on a high as her films are critically acclaimed and commercially successful as well," said an industry source.
Hitting headlines for an alleged nude photo scandal, a Canadian website posted a photo said to be Miley Cyrus in the buff taken with her IPhone camera.
According to ZackTaylor.ca, the "Hannah Montana" hottie snapped and sent the racy pic to her on-off boyfriend Liam Hemsworth - with the story adding that her phone was stolen which resulted in the leaking of the shots.
Seemingly backing up the claims, Oh No They Didn't later posted a series of photos of Miss Cyrus posing provocatively yet clothed - which seemed to back up the nude pic release.
Low and behold, GossipCop attentively pointed out that the naked snap couldn't be Miley - as the girl in the shot didn't have a "Just Breathe” tattoo under her left breast as Miley does.
Their source added that "no nude photos of the young star have been taken or leaked” while Miss Cyrus' lawyers are already drumming up legal action.
Rumours related to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have again started making the rounds. The rumours, this time, are related to her pregnancy not in India but in Dubai.
But rumours have become such a routine affair for Aishwarya that she does not even clarify them. We presume that she chooses to laugh it off.
Ash had some interviews scheduled in Dubai, but they were cancelled at the last moment leading to speculation among the small community of Indian journalists in the Middle East.
" Unless it is a case of dodgy Indian curries that is slowly but surely emanating, the rumour mills are grinding to grist the possibility of a classic Ash diva tantrum because she is pregnant," quoted the local newspaper in Dubai.
Sources had informed the newspaper that Ash was not well and hence had cancelled the said interviews. This is not the first time that the buzz about her pregnancy hasreached us.
Had we believed in all these gossips Ash and Abhishek should have had a few babies by now. We guess we should leave the couple alone and give them the benefit of doubt and the honour to make the announcement themselves.
After all, their marriage was the biggest ever in Bollywood and when the Bachchans will confirm any such news it would surely be the biggest one, too.
