| You’d think that the people behind the monstrosity known as White Chicks would try to distance themselves as much as possible from the film, but when millions of dollars are at stake, many people seem to welcome the shame of being responsible for what is probably the worst film of the year. So even though the odds of someone wanting to take credit for the film are greater than John Kerry naming Paris Hilton as his running mate, four men have now filed suit citing that the Wayans brothers, the “creative” force behind White Chicks, stole the idea for the film from a script they had written. Mario Pittore and brothers Jason, Jon and James Coppola are seeking $15 million claiming that the idea for White Chicks was stolen from “Johnny Bronx”, a script they had previously co-written. The script was about an FBI agent who impersonates a white guy in order to infiltrate the mafia. BOP is now performing a voodoo curse to insure that this suit is not settled out of court when the Wayans brothers agree to produce the Johnny Bronx script. |

A biopic of Sammy Davis Jr. will be the next directorial project for Academy Award winning actor Denzel Washington. Based on Wil Haygood's book "In Black and White: The Life of Sammy Davis Jr." and to be produced by Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment, the story will follow Davis’ life from his beginning in entertainment at the age of 4. Before production gets started, Haygood has to turn in a script based on his hefty book. Washington will not star in the film like he did in his critically acclaimed directorial debut Antwone Fisher. The project presents a unique opportunity for a black actor to play a Jewish man…that is assuming that Washington doesn’t cast Billy Crystal in the lead role. |
| A California judge dismissed a libel lawsuit against California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday. Stuntwoman Rhonda Miller charged the Governor of California's election campaigners with falsely accusing her of being a criminal, after she claimed the actor groped her on a movie set. Miller held a news conference to air her allegations before Schwarzenegger was elected to represent the state. Hours after the conference, the actor's campaign spokesman sent an email to a news reporter, directing him to a court website to search for records of a Rhonda Miller - who had been booked for prostitution, drug crimes and disorderly conduct. The Rhonda Miller in question, turned out to be a completely different woman. In other news, charges against Sylvester Stallone, brought against him by the other Rhonda Miller, have been dismissed due to Miller filing suit against the wrong has-been, muscle-bound, 80’s actor whose acting career is more or less over. |
