Jamie Foxx Bringing Back Wanda Is Nothing New: Here Are Five Other Cross-Dressing Oscar Winners
15 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Yesterday, I saw a lot of people calling for Jamie Foxx's Oscar to be revoked following the announcement that he and Martin Lawrence are confirmed for "Sheneneh and Wanda," a comedy in which the duo will play female bank robbers. Both roles are based on earlier cross-dressed characters from the actors' TV days (Lawrence's Sheneneh is from "Martin" and Foxx's Wanda is from "In Living Color"). Foxx, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004 for "Ray" (he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor that same year for "Collateral), returning to this drag shtick seems like a huge step backward to a lot of people.
"Seems" is the key word here, though, because it doesn't have to be a regression. Plenty of Oscar-caliber actors have cross-dressed before and since being nominated and/or winning an Academy Award, and plenty of performers have won for dressing like the opposite sex. »

Theatre Producers Back Soderbergh Play
4 November 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Theatre bosses behind Steven Soderbergh's controversial new play have defended their decision to tackle the tragic story of murdered Florida toddler Caylee Anthony - following a flood of complaints about the production.
Caylee's remains were found in December 2008 and the little girl's mother, Casey, is charged with killing her. The mum has pleaded not guilty to murder.
Tot Mom, written by Soderbergh, is due to be performed by Australia's Sydney Theatre Company from December but the delicate subject matter has enraged the public - with many taking up their grievances with theatre bosses, including artistic director Cate Blanchett.
But producers behind the play have hit back at allegations they are seeking to profit from the tragedy - insisting Soderbergh will be donating his fee to the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
A statement from the organisation reads, "Our interest in presenting the work has nothing to do with making money. This production is a one-off and will be only be seen in its Sydney season." »

Crowe in the Hood
27 October 2009 12:01 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Russell Crowe is looking rather manly and happy on the set of Robin Hood. Is anyone out there even remotely interested in this anymore? You've got Ridley Scott directing with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett starring. What's not to like? Honestly, people seem more concerned if Crowe is going to be thin enough to play the part rather than if the movie is going to be good. Maybe it's the fact that the film is supposedly a realistic take on the whole Robin myth. It also got a massive... »

Images and Action from Ridley Scott's Robin Hood
27 October 2009 7:44 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
First Showing has an excellent round-up of some of the latest photos from Ridley Scott's Robin Hood.
Among the finds are new shots of Russell Crowe as a battle-ready Robin, wearing a whole lot more armor than is traditional for the hero of Sherwood Forest. The Gladiator-esque direction it shows is definitley the direction the movie is headed, as Crowe explains in an on-set interview with Australian TV:
You've got 130 horses doing a full-speed gallop charging into 600 guys on the ground. And every man on the horse is going to do a half-dozen fight pieces. It was violent, anarchic, absolutely crazy.
Apparently the violence was not entirely cinematic either. Crowe goes on to explain (with a certain amount of relish) how the action got so heated a number of people were injured on set. And the next thing you know, someone really does poke out an eye. With a pike yet. »

Oscar... Now With More Spirit Fingers
23 October 2009 8:36 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Shankman's got spirit!
Do you follow the Oscar show news in the way you follow the Oscars? I don't so much, despite this life I lead constantly writin' about the awards themselves. I care who hosts to some degree but I tend to ignore the rest. But I found it interesting this week when director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) was named as one of the producers and his choreography skills were noted as a reason to be enthused about this assignment. At least he has a sense of humor about his, um, limited history with the big event I was one of Paula Abdul's 'Under the Sea' pirates," Shankman said. "The last time I was at the Oscars, I was in Lycra, with a pirate hat on. Shankman's presence must mean more musical numbers. I'm all for musical numbers provided they rehire Hugh Jackman as host. He was so fine last year. »

10 Most Underrated Young Actresses
22 October 2009 1:48 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Can the media alter the public's perception of an actor? I believe so - that's why we have the likes of Megan Fox hugging the headlines and getting the covers of men's magazines, while a lot of more talented young actresses could not even manage to get featured and have interviews. If you think about it, what has she done in the movies to deserve so much publicity and attention? - - -
- - - Some may argue, 'hey, don't blame her, she's just good at playing the Hollywood game, and she got a shrewd agent managing her career!'. That maybe so and yes, I agree when others say 'she'll not last another year - others will soon take over'. There are those who may say 'Agents and talent managers always take care of their wards - that's why stars have a public image and a private one'. »
