Katherine Heigl’s Wedding Drama
Katherine Heigl’s Wedding Drama
With her late December wedding still lingering in the back of her mind, Katherine Heigl opened up last night on the Late Show with David Letterman about how her big day almost became a huge disaster.
First of all, her groom Josh Kelley decided to go skiing just two days before the ceremony, despite her pleading. “I told him don’t ski before the wedding, it’s not a good idea, you haven’t skied in years. Anyone who knows Josh well knows he likes to show off and he’s very good at everything. But on this occasion he not only skied, but he showed off, and he got in an accident and hit his nose on his knee and split it open.”
Heigl continued, “It was really unattractive. He didn’t have to get stitches thank god. His father is a doctor and said ‘Its okay, it’s not broken’ and put ice on it. I wouldn’t speak to him until the wedding day. Then I had to - I had to direct my vows at someone.”
The next disaster had to do with Josh almost losing his wedding band the day after the nuptials. “My mother and I bought property up in Utah. We were scouting the property and there was tons of snow - it had been snowing constantly. He was throwing snowballs and the ring was big - which wasn’t his fault - and he shook snow off his hand and it sunk like a stone. My brother, who doesn’t generally care that much about sentimentality and wedding bands I guess, found some guys with metal detectors at a gas station in the middle of nowhere in Utah - and they found it.”
And on the honeymoon, the Grey’s Anatomy babe threw a wrench in the works herself. “I lost my passport - well I didn’t lose it, I forgot it - before the honey moon. We were going to Mexico. A couple of years ago you didn’t need your passport to go to Mexico, but now you do. So all of this great stuff I had over him [Josh] was lost when I forgot my passport.”
Terminator: Barring Any Vats of Liquid Metal…It'll Be Bahk
Many of you have been asking about the fate of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so I'm happy to report that barring any apocalyptic shifts at the Fox network, Terminator is very likely to return in the fall.
Now, the official word from the network is, "No word yet regarding season two. Fox usually announces returning shows in May around upfronts." However, in addition to some scuttlebutt that came our way yesterday saying production is set to resume in mid to late June, star Thomas Dekker told me at last night's American Idol party he was feeling pretty good and is "pretty sure" the new season will happen.
According to Dekker, the producers are currently pitching second-season stories to the network.
When asked if he gets sick of people asking whether or not John and Cameron will have a romance, Dekker laughed and said he actually likes it! He thinks the idea of a human and a robot having that sort of relationship is interesting and cool and added that fans should "wait until the second season, because some really great stuff is planned—all those questions will be answered!" And yes, that's a direct quote—he was speaking as if season two were already a done deal.
Excited by the chance to spend more time with Cameron and the Connor-Reese clan? Post in Comments!
TV: Life on Mars Trailer
One last TV story, and we’ll return to the regularly scheduled film news programing. ABC has ordered 13 episodes of Life on Mars, an American remake of the popular BBC television series. The story follows a 21st century detective Sam Tyler (Jason O’Mara) who who finds himself waking up in 1972 after he’s run over by a car. The U.S. version of the show was created by David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, The Practice, Boston Legal). I’ve heard a lot of great stuff about the original series, and am always interested in anything Time Travel related, although the soundtrack seems just a little bit cheesy. Check out the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments.
Transformers 2: Isabel Lucas In, Teresa Palmer Out? di Bonaventura Confirms No Broadside; Bay on the Actors Strike
Last month it was reported that Australian hottie Teresa Palmer had been cast in Michael Bay’s Transformers 2. Bay denies the casting on his personal blog, claiming that “Teresa Palmer was not considered for a role.”
To complicate things further, IGN is now reporting that another Aussie actress Isabel Lucas (pictured right), has been cast in the role of Alice in the sequel. Lucas is a newbie, and will be seen in the upcoming vampire flick Daybreakers, and the HBO miniseries The Pacific. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura promises that the big casting announcements will be made over the next several weeks.
“Ultimately, we’ll have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon,” the producer told MTV. “Michael’s got some really great stuff planned.”
Last year Michael Bay told reporters that he has “an amazing idea” for a transforming aircraft carrier but it was “just too expensive” for the first film, but teased that it might be featured in one of he sequels. When asked if Broadside would make an appearance in the sequel, di Bonaventura said:
“We never really talked about that, practically speaking,” he said. “There was some Japanese animated movie we saw where that occurred, and we were like ‘Wow! Look at that thing!’”
Transformers 2 is scheduled to begin shooting in early June, if the actors don’t go on strike. Bay lashed out against the strike yesterday:
“Oh my god. SAG wants more than Directors and Writers? That’s a smart tactic I guess. When are people going to understand, most importantly actors - we are at war - we are facing a major recession - our country is in dire need of being fixed - our country also has no money because we have given trillions to the Iraq war and we have NOT even started to pay for it - it is just paid right now by printing more money on presses - China owns our ass in every way. Why not strike on a business in a down fall. Just like the writer’s they made pennies on the four extra months striking - when you do the real math and they are paying the price for it still - so many writer’s out of work still!!! I want this business to thrive - I know the studio heads and they will punish those that defy them. Okay, be an idealist - but you will never get a better deal then the writer’s or directors - only the same - the studio’s will never allow it, don’t kid yourself. The working actors don’t want a strike - they have said so. Too many non working actors have a say which is crazy - maybe there are just too many actors?? Gosh I’m even a member of SAG, but I don’t feel I’ve earned the right to vote in this guild. One hunch, the leaders of these guilds seem to like the limelight they get in the press, it becomes more about the ego in the room rather than something smart. Striking is not smart. Through the history in America, strikes in businesses have only gained the union worker 6% at the max - so take the emotion out of it and go for the 6%. A path to strike is not smart for the the hundreds of thousands of people in this business. Sanity needs to prevail here - talk real and talk the same talk as your union brothers - not more!”
Let’s hope this strike doesn’t happen.
