Maddox Makes Time for Mommy
Angelina Jolie had two visitors at 8 a.m. Saturday morningher older brother, James Haven, and son, Maddox.
“Since news broke that Angelina’s at the hospital, there’s now roughly 200 fans waiting outside on the pavement,” Rachel Roberts, who lives close to the Lenval maternity hospital in Nice, tells News.
“As soon as the car with Maddox in it pulled up, people were squeezing up against the windows hoping for a glimpse of him and taking photos. He must have been really scared, poor thing.”
Maddox was sporting a new mohawk with blond streaks (not pictured)similar to one he had before Shiloh was born in Namibia in 2006.
The pair stayed until just before 5 p.m. before returning home to see Pax, whom James, 35, has been helping to look after at the family’s château in Brignoles.
Brad Pitt, along with Shiloh and Zahara, are believed to have stayed at the hospital, where they have booked out four suites on the sixth floor, since they were pictured visiting last Thursday.
Paris Hilton Parties It Up With K-Fed
Paris Hilton Parties It Up With K-Fed
It was yet another wild weekend in Sin City for Paris Hilton, as the hotel heiress made her way from club to club in Las Vegas on Saturday night (December 29).
In town to host a New Year’s Eve celebration at Luxor, Paris, along with sister Nicky Hilton, started things off at LAX nightclub.
Upon entrance, the former Simple Life star spotted a mohawk-sporting Kevin Federline posted up at a VIP table with his parents, brother and friends. Paris proceeded to visit with K-Fed, as the two seemed to have quite a good time together.
From there, the Hilton sisters hit the exit and headed over to Pure nightclub for an hour or so. While there, Paris posed for pictures and visited the DJ booth - where she proceeded to do a little provocative dance to the grins of her nearby security squad.
Afterwards, it was back to the hotel for a little beauty sleep. After all, Paris has to get ready for her hosting duties on Monday night.
Quinton Rampage Jackson joining the A-Team?
It looks like we have a potential candidate for the B.A. Baracus role in the movie adaptation of the 80’s television show The A-Team. UFC fighter Quinton Rampage Jackson mentioned on The Jimmy Kimmel Show that he was in the running for the role made famous by Mr. T.
Looking at the photo, it’s easy to see why he’s in the running. He’s already got the pecks and the chain. If you check out the video after the link, he’s even got the attitude. Just give him a mohawk and he’ll be set.
The planned release for the feature film is June 12, 2009. It will be produced by 20th Century Fox and Universal Studios and is to be directed by John Singleton (Boyz In The Hood, Shaft, 2 Fast 2 Furious).
The question is: can the UFC fighter act? And if he can’t act, then can he at least act like Mr. T.?
[Thanks, Ryan!]
John Singleton wants Woody Harrelson to Join The A-Team
While waiting online for the valet, Collider bumped into director John Singleton and ended up with some nice scoops regarding his upcoming take on The A-Team. Before we go any farther, I just want to say that Singleton is one of the most personable and persuasive directors I’ve ever interviewed. During production for 2 Fast 2 Furious, his ideas sounded just as badass, weirdly agreeable and uncompromising as they do here. But either way, he clearly digs the script and material…and might he be dismissing Ice Cube’s recent self-casting as B.A. Baracus?
A-Team is going. It’s not a comic movie farce like Starsky and Hutch, it’s kind of in the tradition of the 80’s action pictures, the man’s movies like Die Hard, Predator, Commando, or even Lethal Weapon more so than anything else. The action is very serious, but there is humor. That’s what we are going for. I don’t know who is in the cast yet, so all this bullshit of who is saying who is this person and who is…nobody is playing Mr. T, the character’s name is B.A. Baracus, he will have a Mohawk and there is a moment in the movie where he actually gets the Mohawk cause he’s going crazy. And I don’t know who is in the cast yet, but I do know that the only person I want right now is, that I really, really want is Woody Harrelson to play Murdock, the guy who is crazy but he’s kind of real smart, a jack of all trades.
Casting Woody Harrelson as Murdock would set a great tone and message for the film. The guy’s great with comedy (White Men Can’t Jump, Kingpin, the upcoming Semi-Pro) and I’ve always thought it odd that he’s stayed away from straight-up action flicks with the exception of the disappointing Money Train. Harrelson has a certain athleticism, slacker brawn and twinkle in the eye that’s perfect for the genre. And with Oliver Stone’s Pinkville recently falling apart due to the strike, Harrelson’s schedule might free him up to consider the film. Singleton didn’t specify the film’s rating, but you’ll notice that the ‘80s films he references above are all, famously, R-rated “movies for guys who like movies” staples. I’d be surprised if the studio (Fox) lets him take it there, but if they do my outlook on the flick improves greatly. I might be the only person who’s still in shock and shambles over Live Free of Die Hard, as well as the tameness and unneeded high concepts of ‘00s action efforts.
Another interesting detail Singleton revealed is that the cast members will have a stipulation to sign on for additional A-Team flicks. This wasn’t the case with drivel like The Dukes of Hazzard, and while Singleton says the film’s budget isn’t locked down, the detail hints at a long term investment rather than a nostalgic stand alone cash-and-grab. Singleton also plays up the script by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (3:10 to Yuma and…2 Fast 2 Furious) in his chat, saying it’s the primary reason he’s onboard. And while he’s at it, why not randomly compare it to the Bourne films?
Yeah, and the people who are now just going to the movies and don’t know anything about that, will go to it just cause it’s a hot movie. It’s kind of like what they did with the Bourne movies, no nonsense but with a humor, with action. You know what I mean, wall to wall kicking ass and talking shit [laughs].
If John Singleton’s A-Team was rated-R, would that impact your anticipation for the film?
