Sienna Miller: Going After a Married Man?
Sienna Miller: Going After a Married Man?
Taking full advantage of the beautiful SoCal weather yesterday (June 30), Sienna Miller and a gal pal were spotted milling around Los Angeles on a shopping spree.
The “Factory Girl” babe looked bright and colorful in a red printed minidress teamed with a pair of thin-strapped sandals and a brown leather handbag.
And it seems that a little retail therapy was just what Miss Miller needed, as she looked forlorn prior to entering a boutique, and smiled brightly upon her exit.
The latest development in Sienna’s love life (following her dumping of Rhys Ifans) is rumored to be married oil heir-turned-actor Balthazar Getty. According to a source, Miller was introduced to Getty by her “Edge of Love” co-star Matthew Rhys.
A celebrity spy reports, “They went to great pains to find a place where they thought nobody would find them. They daren’t go out together, so they spend most of their time inside. When they do leave, they go separately.”
Meanwhile, Getty’s wife has reportedly fled the country and relocated in Italy, taking with her their four kids.
No plans to strike, says SAG president
There’s good news and bad news coming from the on-going talks between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The bad news is that there has been very little progress in talks between SAG and the studios concerning a new contract.
With their current contract expiring on June 30th, SAG members are looking for higher pay for “middle-tier” actors, those making less than $100,000 a year, and a greater cut of profits from DVD and new media sales — a main sticking point during this past winter’s Writers Guild strike. In addition to those woes, there are bitter splits taking place between SAG members and those of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) after the smaller union ratified an agreement with the studios.
The good news, at least for film and television viewers, is that SAG has no immediate plans to strike.
In a statement to the press SAG president Alan Rosenberg said, “We have taken no steps to initiate a strike authorization vote by the members of Screen Actors Guild. Any talk about a strike or a management lockout at this point is simply a distraction.” Rosenberg added that SAG is coming to the negotiations in good faith to settle on a fair contract for their actors. These statements have not eased the fears of the studios: they’ve been rushing to complete their current projects before a proposed strike. Here’s hoping the union and the studios can resolve heir issues.
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling’s “All Good Things”
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling’s “All Good Things”
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling were busy filming scenes for their new movie “All Good Things” on location in New York City on Wednesday (June 25).
During the day, Dunst was seen getting in and out of a yellow cab clad in a fitted burgundy skirt, black cardigan and black Mary Janes while Gosling strutted around in a fancy suit.
The thriller follows “a detective who begins to unravel a missing-persons case that looks to spell doom for the heir to a New York real estate dynasty.”
The Andrew Jarecki directed film, which hits theaters in 2009, also stars Frank Langella (Body of Evidence) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (P.S. I Love You).
Godfather Heir to Paramount: Game On!
Where’s Luca Brasi when you need him?
Keeping his friends close and his enemies closer, the son of late Godfather author Mario Puzo is suing Paramount Pictures for allegedly screwing the family out of royalties from a 2006 video game based on the Mafia-friendly franchise.
A rep for Paramount declined to comment, citing the pending litigation.
The lawsuit, filed June 18 in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Anthony Puzo, claims the studio breached its contract with Puzo’s estate by failing to fork over revenue generated from The Godfather: The Game, published and distributed by Electronic Arts.
According to the complaint, Paramount inked a deal with the elder Puzo in 1992seven years before his death at the age of 78to give him a cut of the profits from any ancillaries, specifcally audiovisual products that contain elements of the hit series, including dialogue and characters.
“Despite the vast wealth Puzo created for Paramount, it has refused to pay his children their agreed share of the revenue from that audio-visual product,” the suit states.
Drawing on the book and its three films, the game allowed players to work their way up from street hood to don and featured the voices of such castmembers as James Caan, Robert Duvall and Abe Vigoda reprising their roles as hotheaded son Sonny Corleone, consiglieri Tom Hagen and traitor Salvatore Tessio, respectively.
The younger Puzo’s suit seeks at least $1 million in damages.
