| It seems playing a gay cowboy might not be all it's cracked up to be, at least judging from reports of the travails suffered by Jake Gyllenhaal on the set of his latest film, Brokeback Mountain. Apparently the love scenes were quite rough, and Gyllenhaal's nose was nearly broken by co-star Heath Ledger during a particularly rambunctious kissing scene, during which the actors took turns slamming each other against the wall before locking lips. Gyllenhaal says he got "the (crap) beat out of (him)" doing multiple takes of the scene, and that the fight scenes didn't leave him with as many aches and pains as the love scenes did. And there's another entry for the Things in Movie Love Scenes You Should Never, Ever Try in Real Life list. |

In a move that surely has some critics sharpening their stilettos, Wesley Snipes has reportedly refused to do any press for the upcoming third movie in the Blade franchise, Blade: Trinity. In fact, Snipes is so insistent on not hitting the Celebrity Mule Train to do promos for the flick that he took a role in a film that would be shooting in Bulgaria prior to the release of Blade: Trinity to ensure his unavailability. Since stars refusing to do press for a film is generally taken as a sign the project is going to stink up the screens, producer Peter Frankfurt has been assuring the press that, as far as he knows, Snipes was pleased with the film, stating that if Snipes was "genuinely unhappy" with the final product "we would have heard something by now". Given the revelation that Snipes had complete control on the set, including greenlighting all scenes in which he appeared, one would certainly expect him to be overjoyed with the outcome. Snipes also reportedly stayed in character as the brooding half-human/half-vampire during the entire shoot, which we're sure was lots of fun for everyone else on-set. Rumors that producers want to subtitle the next Blade outing Kill Wesley Snipes could not be confirmed at press time. |
| Mighty mite actor and Scientology shill Tom Cruise has reportedly decided that being near the top of the heap in the movie biz isn't enough of a palliative for his raging case of Short Man's Disease, so he's going to climb to the top of the world's tallest mountain. According to reports, Cruise has wanted to climb Mount Everest since he was a child, and has decided that once production wraps on his current film, Mission Impossible:3, he's going to give it a go. Cruise is apparently an avid climber, and says that climbing Mount Everest is "the ultimate challenge" and that it is "every little boy's dream to climb Everest." Not that we've been little boys in a very long time, but last we checked, climbing the world's tallest mountain wasn't on the Top Ten Childhood Dreams list. Perhaps someone should explain to Cruise that many of the people who've tried to climb Mount Everest have died in the process, and that it's mighty hard to call for second team when you're several thousand feet up the side of a mountain. Then again... |
