30 December 2009 11:20 AM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
Well, this is just odd and creepy. TMZ reports that Brooke Mueller—who, just days ago, told police that her husband Charlie Sheen threatened to kill her with a knife on Christmas—is pushing hard for a reconciliation with her hubby. Mueller filed papers in an Aspen court on Wednesday to modify her protective order against Sheen, so that the two can have contact with each other and attempt to mend their marriage. Oh, and the attorney that Mueller has hired to help her through this process? Renowned criminal-defense lawyer Yale Galanter, who was also O.J. Simpson's lawyer for many years. Hmm; it seems to us »

I. D.O.A.
A man awakes feeling ill after a night out partying. He finds out that he has been poisoned by a luminous toxin and will soon die. With no antidote available, he only has two options: (1) figure out why the fuck someone wanted him dead and (2) kill the sonuvabitch.
And no, this isn’t Crank or Crank 2: High Voltage or Crank 3: The Juice is Loose costarring O.J. Simpson. This classic film noir from 1950 is the originator of the, “I’m already dead and now I’m off to the races to get some sweet, sweet revenge before I croak,” storyline.
It’s a must see for any film noir fan and, well, just a must see in general. So go watch the damn thing already.

8 December 2009 8:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Prison officials in Nevada have shot down reports O.J. Simpson was hospitalised on Monday after online rumours alleged the former American footballer had been attacked while behind bars.
Simpson is serving a 33-year sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center after he was convicted for masterminding a 2007 memorabilia heist in Las Vegas.
Reports circulated the internet on Monday night alleging the 62 year old had been admitted to hospital after being beaten up badly by fellow inmates. Unnamed sources claimed the rumoured attack was racially motivated.
But the assault and Simpson's supposed hospitalisation are news to Lovelock prison authorities, who insist the retired sportsman is still incarcerated without incident, reports local news station Kpix-tv. »
O.J. Simpson Mysteriously Beaten Up In Prison
7 December 2009 4:00 PM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
O.J. Simpson was reportedly hospitalized after taking a severe beating within in the confines of his Las Vegas home, the Lovelock Correctional Center. What kind of sick sadistic bastards would beat the crap of a harmless old man who has clearly never hurt anyone? Just look at the poor guy! Seriously, how could anyone be cruel enough to mangle such a pathetically innocent face? Simpson has been passing the time of his nine to 33-year prison sentence by serving as a gym janitor. He's really putting in the effort to make up for the assault and kidnapping charges he was slapped with »

By Steven Mikulan
A late afternoon post by Perez Hilton has sent phones at Nevada's Department of Corrections ringing off the hooks.
Hilton claims to have news that O.J. Simpson has been hospitalized following a racially motivated beating at the prison in which Simpson is serving a 33-year term for a Las Vegas robbery.
Calls to the prison, located in Lovelock, and to the corrections department have been met with scratched heads and denials.

Simpson Gets In Shape Behind Bars
23 November 2009 12:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
O.J. Simpson is spending his time behind bars getting fit and counselling fellow prisoners, according to a close friend of the shamed American football star-turned actor.
Norman Pardo has visited Simpson at Nevada's Lovelock Correctional Center, where he is 11 months into a 33-year sentence for masterminding a 2007 memorabilia heist in Las Vegas.
And he claims the 62 year old is working out daily.
He tells the New York Post, "O.J. works out every day. He's lost a lot of weight and he's in great shape. He says that's one of the benefits of not being able to go out and party like he used to."
Pardo also claims Simpson has been offering anger management and race relations counselling to other inmates at Lovelock.
Producer Pardo is currently promoting a new movie he has created from 70 hours of footage of the Naked Gun star, originally shot to help repair his pal's reputation.
According to the Post, he has turned the tapes into a fictional film called Suspect 32. »

Movies I Saw as a Kid (That I Shouldn't Have)
17 November 2009 2:00 AM, PST | Momlogic | See recent Momlogic news »
C'mon, tell the truth ... have you ever taken your kids to an inappropriate movie?
Paul Starke: I was flipping through the channels this weekend, pretending to listen to my wife, when I stumbled upon the movie "Kramer vs. Kramer" -- the 1979 film that chronicles the bitter custody battle between Kramer (Dustin Hoffman) and ... Kramer (Meryl Streep). I happened upon the scene in the movie where Dustin Hoffman's son falls off a jungle gym and is rushed to a hospital ... Pretty dramatic, depressing material. And then, as if suddenly recalling a repressed dream, I remembered: My parents took me to see this movie when I Was 6 Years Old!
Times were different back then -- parents would go see whatever movie they wanted, whether it would interest the kids or not. I don't think my parents thought I'd enjoy it, per se -- they probably just thought I'd get bored and fall asleep. »

Why Online Branded Entertainment Should Study Soap Operas
27 October 2009 1:30 PM, PDT | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
With so many companies in the past few years talking about producing online video and other forms of "branded entertainment," I'm amazed by how people often talk about these trends as if they are new. Radio and early television was full of "product placement" and shows produced directly through the subsidy of major brands, such as The Philco Playhouse and Texaco Star Theater. Nowhere has this trend taken greater hold than the soap opera, where the blend of art and commerce is clear from the very title given to the shows. From their early 1930s radio debut and through the "golden era" of broadcast television, soap operas were the consistent daytime juggernaut that fueled experimentation in primetime.
Today, only one soap company remains in the "soap opera" game in that sense, as Procter & Gamble still funds the production of CBS' As the World Turns. However, brands are launching new Web »

Avatar Story Controversy and Piece on Cameron
26 October 2009 7:25 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
This morning an article popped up on i09 that cited comparisons between James Cameron’s 3-D epic Avatar and a 1957 novella by Poul Anderson. Titled “Call Me Joe,” the story centers on a paraplegic hero who telepathically connects to an artificial life form in order to roam a harsh planet.
In Cameron’s movie, the names are changed but the basic premise is similar. Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully, a wheelchair-bound war hero recruited into an interstellar mission to explore Pandora. He links his mind to an avatar in order to assimilate to the native culture, but ultimately comes to understand the resistance towards the encroaching humans.
The plots diverge there however, with Joe becoming self-aware and ultimately separating himself from his human operator. There’s no love story, which Cameron insists is the core of his $230 million film despite the marketing centered on it’s groundbreaking technology and flashy gun battles. »

Keeping Up With Kourtney Kardashian's Burglar
18 October 2009 8:44 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
This is not something a thisclose-to-popping pregnant woman should be dealing with. Kourtney Kardashian and baby daddy Scott Disick returned from dinner around 8:30 Saturday night to find their gated Calabasas townhouse had been broken into and several high-priced baubles Mia. A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman tells E! News that about $108,000 worth of stuff was swiped, including Kardashian's $30,000 Cartier watch and Disick's Rolex. Some more sentimental items were also looted, including several pieces of vintage jewelry left to Kourtney by her late father, O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian. The loss total could go up, as Kourtney continues to go through her »
Roman Polanski Attempting to Finish Latest Film Ghost From Prison
16 October 2009 12:53 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It’s nothing new that prisoners will try to control their affairs on the outside despite their imprisonment. Some prisoners conduct a relationship with their sweetie, some prisoners conduct their drug cartel, and some prisoners conduct their sweetie’s drug cartel. But it’s rare that a prisoner tries to complete his film while in confinement. However, that’s exactly what recently incarcerated director Roman Polanski is trying to do from his cell in Switzerland in an attempt to finish post-production on his latest (and possibly last film, depending on how long he’s locked up), “The Ghost”.
Hit the jump for details and to wonder if Polanski’s fellow inmates will choose their treatment of the director based on a love of “Chinatown” or a love of raping sex offenders.
Before his arrest, Polanski had already finished a rough cut of the film. The film stars Pierce Brosnan as »

A Child Rapist Is Not a Political Prisoner
7 October 2009 8:49 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Right-minded souls who reject claims of mitigating circumstances in the case of Roman Polanski should follow the example of Fred Goldman. He's the father of Ron Goldman, the waiter who was butchered along with Nicole Simpson, O.J. Simpson's ex-wife. Since Simpson's acquittal in 1995, Mr. Goldman has refused to utter the name of his son's accused murderer. Instead he calls him "the killer." This is what Polanski's opponents should do on TV. Refer to him only as "the child rapist." Remind people of what he is. Put his defenders on the spot. Notice how they avoid mentioning the specific crime to which he pleaded guilty. And when they do, they're made to wish they hadn't. (We'll get to Whoopi Goldberg in a moment.) So let them bring up the Holocaust, Charlie Manson, Judge Rittenband. It'll make no difference.

Former La Prosecutor Lied to Wanted and Desired Filmmaker; Does Revelation Destroy Polanski’s Defense?
30 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
There's a pretty startling revelation from Marcia Clark, former Los Angeles District Attorney and O.J. Simpson prosecutor, with respect to the decades-old Roman Polanski case. According to her article published last night in The Daily Beast, former La prosecutor David Wells lied to the director of Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired about having advised Judge Rittenband (now deceased) about sending Polanski to prison. The director's request for dismissal of the case against him stems in part from the allegation that Rittenband had this unethical counsel from Wells; if that did not in fact happen, where will Polanski's lawyers turn now? Here's a recap: Polanski made a plea bargain, which led to a recommendation of probation. But, in Wanted and Desired, Wells said that he argued with Rittenband to get Polanski into jail for some time. "What you should do," Wells says on film, "is send him up for a 90-day observation. »

Not Available on DVD: ‘The Klansman’
30 September 2009 5:55 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Only in the 1970’s could Hollywood have turned its attention to the subject of racism in the deep south and come up with something so jaw-dropping in it’s political incorrectness as The Klansman. On the surface the 1974 film is a serious depiction of the bigotry and the racial confrontations that tear apart an Alabama town in the 1960’s, but watching it today The Klansman comes off at times serious, laughable, mean-spirited, sleazy, and racist. I’m sure the movie wasn’t meant to be racist, but it is filled with characters mouthing so many racist beliefs and committing so many racist crimes that the movie seems to gloat gleefully in its outrageous depiction of bigotry and delivers one ham-fisted, hypocritical message. The Klansman really has to be seen to be believed but you can’t, because it’s Not available on DVD!

The Roman Polanski case: How one movie explains it all
28 September 2009 1:37 PM, PDT | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
With the possible exception of the O.J. Simpson trial, it would be hard to think of a tabloid-ready celebrity scandal from the past 30 years that provokes a more purely, intensely, overheatedly emotional response than the Roman Polanski rape case of 1977. (He fled the country early in 1978.) It's a safe bet that a lot of people, upon reading the headline that Polanski had been arrested in Zurich, with the possibility of extradition to the U.S. to stand trial on that charge, greeted the news with more or less the following sentiment: "Good! It's about time that the authorities caught up with him. »
