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'. »

Dame Judi Dench is nursing injured hands after they were slashed open on broken plates at a dinner party.
The star's left hand was swathed in dressing and her fingers covered in bandages while she spoke onstage at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in the U.K. on Saturday.
But her Notes On A Scandal director Sir Richard Eyre has downplayed the accident, which occurred after the star had enjoyed a meal at his home.
He explains, "Judi characteristically was getting up with a large pile of plates after dinner and she slipped on her way to the dishwasher and cut her hand in a very, very dramatic way." »

Robert here looking at new releases this week. If you hadn't noticed (of course you've noticed) we've entered a strange barren time of year when the whiz-bang of summer has died off and the post-fest Oscar season has yet to start up. Pickings are slim so I'll remind you that these films are still in theaters: The Hurt Locker, Ponyo, District 9, In the Loop.
9 - The one film attempting to position itself for Oscar recognition will have an uphill climb, especially since three Animated Feature spots have practically been snatched up by Coraline, Ponyo, and Up, and there's plenty of competition for two remaining, should there be two remaining. Critical reaction hasn't been very kind, except toward the visuals and I'm reminded of how many filmmakers today are fantastic visual artists desperately in need of writers who aren't anywhere to be found.

Madonna wants Cate Blanchett to star in her new musical. The "4 Minutes" singer is set to direct and produce "Wallis" - following the life of American socialite Wallis Simpson, who Britain's King Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry - and wants the "Notes On A Scandal" actress to take on the lead role opposite "Doctor Who" actor David Tennant after opting against casting Keira Knightley.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The final script is now written and the locations have been scouted. Madonna is now trying to assemble the cast and put the finances in place."
"The first scene of the film is an old woman in her 90s living on her own in a Parisian flat. She starts to tell her life story to her housekeeper. It turns out the old woman is Wallis Simpson."
"There will be a song for each decade of her life. »

With her sophomore novel What Was She Thinking? Notes On A Scandal, Zoë Heller wound up shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and thrust into the spotlight of literary genius. All the qualities that led her so quickly to those heights—deft, economical characterization, a gift for empathizing with difficult people, and an effortless creativity with language—are in evidence in her latest novel, The Believers. Set among the Jewish leftist elite in New York City, Heller’s story of ideology and identity describes a family of women suffering in secret who destroy each other’s lives almost by reflex ... »

Dame Judi Dench has been forced to temporarily pull out of her new play in the West End after falling and seriously injuring her ankle. Theatregoers rushed to the aid of the 74-year-old after she tripped on the pavement outside London's Wyndham Theatre last night. According to The Sun, some onlookers feared that the Notes On A Scandal actress had suffered a stroke and an ambulance was called. "It was absolutely horrifying, seeing Dame Judi fall like that," a witness said. "One minute I was saying to my friend 'There's Dame Judi' and the next minute she fell over, grasping (more) »
