George Lucas has been forced to take time out from his busy schedule of pilfering naive, sentimental fools of their money due to a security leak. It appears that a previously unknown Web site called super-baris.com is displaying
publicity stills and video from the upcoming release, Episode III. What is shocking about this is how detailed the footage happens to be. Presuming the person responsible is not a Photoshop master with a vivid imagination about how Episode III should play out, Super Baris effectively gives away the entire plot of the film complete with supporting images. If correct, this is one of the worst security leaks in the history of cinema and could cost George Lucas, a billionaire three times over, as much as $100 million in lost revenue. Why do bad things happen to money-grubbing whores?

Heterosexual tomcat Tom Cruise continues to prove just how much of a ladies man he can be. The actor has carefully choreographed a sequence of dates with Latina goddess Sofia Vergara. This "accidentally" allowed the press to be made aware of the fact that the duo are a new couple. That's right, they are dating, and Mr. Cruise wants all his fans to know that the scientologist is all man. He has had lots and lots of sex with Ms. Vergara just as any straight man with a healthy sex drive would be wont to do with such a voluptuous neo-Charo. Since he says he prefers women, BOP has no choice but to believe him. As such, we will oblige with a saucy image of the woman who presumably spent a good portion of last evening under Mr. Cruise, who, again, is all about sex with women. And he is not just saying that. BOP's got your back, Tommy!

The worst kept secret in Hollywood has finally come to fruition. Miramax is prepared to move on without its founders, the Weinstein brothers. It seems that after a final slew of their productions is thrown into theaters, the fraternal duo will exit in September. From then on, Disney promises to run the company as "an elite SWAT team". The unit will be moved out of Gotham into a Los Angeles facility, which will be given new leadership and a $350 million annual budget. Meanwhile, the Weinsteins are seeking investment capital for their own new venture now that they have been thrown out on the street. This is karma for Hero, Weinsteins. You hear us? Karma!

Sean Connery, the 00-74 year old actor famous for his portrayal of Ian Fleming's James Bond, is not like Allstate. By all accounts, he is not a good neighbor. Supporting this claim is Dr. Burton Sultan, a former resident of the same Manhattan apartment complex as everyone's favorite Scot. Apparently, Mr. Bond moved into his son Stpehane's apartment in April 2001 and was immediately the most dislikable man Dr. Sultan had ever known. By November, the man claims his family was forced to move out of the complex, and they have not inhabited it ever since. He claims Connery was guilty of boorish behavior, answered the door in an unkempt fashion not befitting of the sexiest man alive, and did nothing to eliminate his rat problem. Sultan further accuses the actor of trying to force the other tenant out in order to purchase the entire building at bargain prices. This is one aspect of the James Bond character that was never played up in the films: 007 is a savvy real estate squatter!
