The soccer ace – who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham – isn’t a fan of “crowd participation” and gets nervous when he goes to dinner with Eva Longoria Parker because she likes to get everyone involved.
During an interview Us TV star George Lopez, he said: “Eva’s got this whole thing - and her husband Tony - about playing games… I get so uncomfortable with crowd participation. We were at dinner once with Tom and Katie… We sat there and everyone was like, ‘Let’s play a music game – let’s start a singing game.’
“That’s my worst nightmare. I kind of get uncomfortable with it.”
David also gave George an impromptu haircut after the host asked the fashion conscious sportsman – famous for his many different cuts - for some style tips.
David, 34, said: “If you want me to give you some kind of haircut -

Says The Hollywood Reporter:

Would You Buy Movie Clips from Paramount?

»
I used to have this pet theory that you should be able to buy just clips of movies, you know, just so you could get to the good parts without having to sit through the whole film. Now even I thought this was a crackpot idea, but I guess the same thought hasn't occurred to Paramount, because the studio has just launched ParamountClips.com, a service that would allow you to make and buy clips from your favorite Paramount films. The site was launched on Tuesday, and is powered by a "proprietary video interpretation systems, [that] allows films to be quickly searched by specific actor, line of dialog, location, genre or product, among other criteria." Once you've found the flick of your choice, you select your clip, choose your format (mobile, Internet, or broadcast), then you get your bill and you're on your way.
So what makes this any different from

G-force Blu-ray Review

Whatever can be said of Jerry Bruckheimer, and at this point the white hot hate for his style of Bruckheimer/Simpson movies has to have subsided some (he’s no longer making Top Gun-Style borderline propaganda now that Michael Bay’s moved on), there is no doubt of one thing: dude has an eye for talent. Look at G-Force, and the cast: Tracy Morgan, Zach Galifianakis, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Nicholas Cage, Will Arnett, Penelope Cruz, and Bill Nighy. That’s a cast you’d want in most anything. My review of G-Force after the jump.
Morgan, Rockwell, and Cruz play the lead guinea pigs, who through some training by Galifianakis are an elite squadron of spies. They infiltrate (with the help of their mole, voiced by Cage) Leonard Saber’s (Nighy) home and are on the lookout for some fiendish terrorist plot, but can’t find it, which

Part 2: From Andrew Sachs to Harry Potter
Andrew Sachs Sent the Beeb into cautious compliance meltdown
If Manuel had bothered to pick up his phone, Ross and Brand wouldn't have been tempted to leave their naughty messages, the Daily Mail wouldn't have been able to work itself up into a hypocritical moralistic lather, thousands of people who'd never heard the original show wouldn't have rung in to complain, Russell Brand would still have his Radio 2 show instead of Alan bleedin' Carr, and the BBC wouldn't get all jumpy every time Frankie Boyle made jokes about the Queen's fanny.

Steve Jobs Killed the album with his zero-attention-span 'apps'
It was supposed to be so easy. Get your CDs, rip them in to iTunes, put them on your iPod. Then, whenever a latent desire to listen to Reo Speedwagon arose you could sate it right away.

Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz sit together at dinner for cast of Nine

Tom Cruise's exes Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz sat side-by-side at a dinner for the cast of their new movie Nine. All of the stars of the movie got together for dinner, including Daniel Day Lewis, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson and Dame Judi Dench. But by far the biggest surprise was to see Kidman and Cruz next to each other, given their joint history with Top Gun star Cruise. And Loren admitted that Daniel Day-Lewis was as intense as his reputation suggests. 'You are a little bit intimidating,' she told him. 'He is very, very much intense. He is so intense.' 'He is always trouble,' quipped Dench, who has known the actor for 30

War Birds To Feel the Need For Speed With Epic Aerial Battles!

| FusedFilm
| See recent FusedFilm news

Say what you want about Top Gun and Tom Cruise, blah, blah. Top Gun was like no other movie before or really since in its accurate and realistic portrayal of aerial combat. In fact one of my uncles’ Navy buddies was one of the head stunt pilots for that film and his one of the mission commanders fixing the Hubble Telescope in space.
THR has reported that Tmu Pictures is developing a Michael B. Chait directed action-adventure film called War Birds, the story of an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot who is then pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat.
What’s even cooler is that in this world of CGI reliance this movie plans to use real airplanes and aerial sequences, including authentic P-51 Mustangs, P-38 Lightnings, F4U Corsairs and a B-17 Flying Fortress as well as modern military helicopters and jets.

Test Footage from War Birds

The official website has released test footage from Michael B. Chait’s first feature attempt in the form of the movie War Birds. From the footage (which I’ve embedded below) it looks like we can expect to see a Top Gun style movie based in an around the Us Airforce in the Second World War with Michael Bay style explosions recently seen on the Victoria Secrets ad!
The website gives us literally no other information on the movie but fortunately, or friend Alex over at FirstShowing.net knows a lot more than we do about the movie:
FirstShowing.net: The story follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot who gets pulled into the world of illegal aerial combat. Shooting is scheduled for next summer in Michigan using real airplanes and aerial sequences. War Birds will be directed by first-time filmmaker Michael Chait. The script was originally written by Josh Staman and Bryan Binder,

'War Birds' Test Footage Visually Impressive
7 December 2009 9:55 PM, PST
| CinemaSpy

»
On Monday we told you about a new action-adventure film entitled War Birds, from first time director Michael Chait. J. Todd Harris, who served as a producer on Bottle Shock, along with Tron Legacy screenwriter Richard Jefferies, are reportedly polishing the script, and, along with Chait, will also produce the film for Michigan-based Tmu Pictures.
Since then, three minutes of test footage for the film have been released on the official site. It's pretty rough footage, without any sort of story, but it's also real airplanes sans CG (so far). Even Michael Bay ought to be impressed with that. To check out the footage, click on the Video tab above.
War Birds follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot as he gets pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat. Feels like period-reenactment counter-culture Top Gun to us. If we're honest, we're not really quite sure what this story is all about,

'War Birds' to Blow the Lid Off of ... Underground Aerial Combat?

I love reading a plot description for an upcoming project that just stops me dead in my tracks. Here I am scanning casually through my RSS feeds when I come across this bombshell of a plot for War Birds at The Hollywood Reporter:
"Birds follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot as he gets pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat. Shooting is scheduled for the summer in Michigan using all real airplanes and aerial sequences, including authentic P-51 Mustangs, P-38 Lightnings, F4U Corsairs and a B-17 Flying Fortress as well as modern military helicopters and jets."
Yes, you read that correctly. War Birds, which will be directed by a one Michael Chait, is like Top Gun meets The Fast and the Furious. Or Fighting meets Stealth. Or Step up to the Streets 2 meets Hell's Angels. I don't know, there are too many variables there

It's Time to Kick the Tires and Light the Fires with War Birds!

Never since Top Gun has a film captured the pure adrenaline rush and intensity of fighter jet air combat. Sure sequences in films like Pearl Harbor and Independence Day have been fantastic in themselves, but an entire film has never come close to director Tony Scott's energy rush in the sky. That might all change as THR reports Tmu Pictures is moving forward with a Michael Chait directed action-adventure film War Birds, the story of an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot as he gets pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat. It's like The Fast and the Furious but with jets!
The script was written by Josh Staman and Bryan Binder but writers J. Todd Harris (Bottle Shock) and Richard Jefferies (Tron Legacy) will be polishing the script and also producing this. And while you might think that this will simply be a lot of

Celebs Return to Their Most Iconic Roles for Photo Shoot

To celebrate their 20th birthday, Empire Magazine invited a whole ton of actors and actresses to ever-so-briefly reprise their most iconic roles for a pretty cool photo shoot. Curious to see what Arnold Schwarzenegger would look like now if he donned those famous black sunglasses and threw on his best badass pose for a photo in front of a motorcycle? Or what about wanting to see Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster reunited for the first time since the Oscar-winning Silence of the Lambs?
Other cool photo ops include Mel Gibson wearing face paint in honor of Braveheart, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost looking back at Shaun of the Dead, Christian Bale returning to his American Psycho days, Ben Stiller showing us all that Zoolander totally deserves a sequel, Gerard Butler giving us his best 300 roar, Laurence Fishburne calling back Morpheus and more.

Colin Firth, Julianne Moore in A Single Man, directed by Tom Ford
What’s a "gay movie"?
Brokeback Mountain? Midnight Cowboy? What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Milk? Top Gun? Lukas Licks Lodz?
Something directed by a gay man, say, The Philadelphia Story or Midnight or a couple of the biggest action blockbusters made in the last decade or so? Something written for the screen by a gay man, say, A Streetcar Named Desire or The Innocents? Something based on a book or play or short story or poem written by a gay man, say, Brief Encounter or In Cold Blood? Something starring a gay man, say, the 1925 Ben-Hur or Giant?
If you think about it, the label "gay movie" is pretty meaningless. [...]

1960s Jet Fighting Classic 빨간마후라 (Red Muffler) Gets a Sequel!
17 November 2009 9:46 PM, PST

Ha... now that's peculiar nostalgia.
Although twenty-something Korean viewers might react in a different way at the mention of 빨간마후라 (Red Muffler) - don't ask - to old school Korean cinema fans, the title can only mean Shin Sang-Ok's ridiculously fun and over-the-top potboiler from 1964, mixing lightweight propaganda, overwrought melodrama which would make even Top Gun feel subtle, and some truly inspired air battles. Back when it was made, Park Jung-Hee's military junta and its yushin reforms were the rage (?), but despite oozing the usual creed of 1960s politically-themed Chungmuro fare (red complex et al), Red Muffler retained the touch of a master filmmaker. So we find ourselves in 2009, with an increasingly similar government, and.... sure enough, a Red Muffler sequel!
With the 60th anniversary of the war coming next year, plenty of action blockbusters are in the making, including Kwak Kyung-Taek's 2nd Yeonpyeong battle-themed film and another 20 billion
