Angelina Jolie Takes Lessons from Porn Star, Tera Patrick for Catwoman

Bill Belew — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:00:29 +0000

Angelina Jolie is taking lessons, getting advice from a porn star, Tera Patrick, to prepare for the upcoming movie, Catwoman.

Apparently, Jolie and Patrick are friends, email-type. Angelina thinks that Patrick would be a better choice for the role, what with all her slinky, sleazy, slick moves.

Other movies that Angelina is either on the short list for or doing are:

1. The Thomas Crown Affair 2

2. Edwin A. Salt – to take Tom Cruise’s place because he couldn’t agree on his cut.

Catwoman will be the villain in the next Batman movie.

Does that mean there will be a next Batman movie?

“Dumb Luck” Success is Key – Daniel Radcliffe

Bill Belew — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:42:48 +0000

The 19-year old star of the Harry Potter Flick Series, Daniel Radcliffe, has espoused some wisdom beyond his years.

Radcliffe attributes his success to two things:

1. hard work

2. dumb luck

He said: “I got where I am by dumb luck. You only deserve what you have if you work hard. I know most actors hoped for a job, and then found themselves between jobs. For me, it was a great job at 11. “I’m a person who got lucky very young, but I was brought up with a work ethic — show up on time, work hard and do your lines.”

Radcliffe will appear in another film, “Equus” has a horse-obsessed stable boy.Â Apparently his parents were all for him committing to the Harry Potter gig, but they “are pleased now,” he says.

Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, “I have found that the harder I work, the luckier I am.”

Radcliffe, for one, seems to understand this lesson well.

“Tropic Thunder” Beats “Dark Knight” in Box Office

Bill Belew — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:02:46 +0000

“Tropic Thunder” a comedy with Hollywood big names Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black and Tom Cruise, beat out “Dark Knight” last weekend. Of course, “Dark Knight” has been out for a month or so.

So far, “Dark Knight” has sold $471.5 million in tickets to become the second-highest grossing film in North America, replacing “Star Wars.”

“Dark Knight” has another $130 million to go to catch “Titanic” and the number one spot. Perhaps had the movie included a Michael Phelps race, it’d be there already.

Hollywood has taken in $6.3 billion so far this year, about the same as last year at this point.
