| Lately, it seems like every third news items these days concerns TomKat, either together or separately. One recent report has Tom Cruise terrifying filmmakers because he insists on doing his own stunts on Mission: Impossible III. And not just the relatively safe ones, either; Cruise has refused to allow a stunt double to even do the high falls that are called for in the script. In addition to giving studio execs and the film's producers anxiety attacks, Cruise's new daredevil persona scares veteran stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong, who is working on the film, to the point where Armstrong is envisioning the career-ending headlines should Cruise make a literally fatal mistake. Maybe someone needs to tell Cruise that there are easier ways to get out of an engagement and/or fatherhood. |

And if the news isn't about TomKat, then it's about Madonna. Who, if you haven't gathered from the 72,908 news items concerning the Material Girl recently, has a new album coming out. Madonna is so insistent that her latest assault on the auditory nerve, titled Confessions on a Dance Floor, be kept top-secret that she resorted to some campy cloak-and-dagger antics at a recent listening party for record execs and other insiders in Hollywood, Florida. The CD that was to be played was flown into the Fort Lauderdale airport under armed guard, where it was picked up by Madonna's brother who then personally handed the CD to the evening�s DJ. After the party, the CD was destroyed, reportedly to keep it from falling into "the wrong hands". Translation: we have to keep this turkey as far away from the critics as possible if we�re to have any hope of selling the damned thing. |
| Please make it stop. Not long after announcing he intends to make another Rocky film, aging action star Sylvester Stallone unleashed the news on an already-frightened moviegoing public that he plans to make another in the Rambo series as well, 17 years after the third film in that franchise. Giving at least a nod to his advancing years, Rambo IV will start with the titular hero having retired, until he gets called out of retirement for blah, blah, bliddy-blah, more excuses for Rambo to shoot people and blow things up real good. With Stallone desperately dredging up his past characters looking for a sure-fire way to return to the limelight, we can hardly wait to hear the plot of Rhinestone 2: Queer Eye for the Monosyllabic Guy. Because really, with a title like Rhinestone, isn't that where the plot of the first film should have gone? |
