eddie murphy and ben stiller plan a tower heist

i can't decide if i want to see this movie or not. loosely based on the whole bernie madoff situation, ben stiller enlists eddie murphy to help him get back the money he rightly deserves. the cast? stellar- matthew broderick and the girl who played precious in the same movie? unreal. but the plot? seems a little stale, and i imagine the writing's about the same. check out the trailer (above) to see for yourself.

sarah jessica parker: mom of three

yesterday afternoon, sjp's surrogate gave birth to twin girls for her and hubby matthew broderick. the girls arrived into the world healthy, but who knows if they'll leave that way. they are now the daughters of two tabloid targets and were named - wait for it - marion and tabitha. yes, those are the names the couple picked out. i mean, is it really a surprise? they did name their son (now 6) james-wilkie. and, yes, they call him that; he's never just "james" or "jack," even though he probably should be. why celebrities insist on these bizarre names...i mean at least marion and tabitha are names that actually exist in the realm of baby names, but you're forcing these two to grow up to be an old lady and a stripper. hopefully they'll come up with cute nicknames for the duo, because i don't know any child who wants to go through life with those names.

d-list break up

two of mtv's biggest former stars have called it quits. ex-vj vanessa minillo and ex-98 degrees member/newlyweds star nick lachey have decided to amicably split, according to vanessa's publicist. why she has a publicist? i don't know. the couple had been together since meeting on nick's music video set back in 2006, right after his split from jessica simpson and her split from derek jeter. the couple, much like sjp and matthew broderick, had been the target of tabloid break up rumors for at least the last 2 years and never seemed to be in a happy place in their lives. but, who is going to pick up the scraps of this relationship? inevitably, i only see these two getting back together...because i can't see them with anyone else.

day 162

sjp + 2

sarah jessica parker and her husband matthew broderick are doing everything they can to stop the rumors that the duo is headed for divorce.  the couple, who have a 6 year old son, james wilkie, together, is expecting female twins this summer via a surrogate.  yep, the couple that has probably experience the most tabloid coverage for their relationship (only second to the jen-brad-angie triangle) are expecting their second and third child at the ages of 44 and 47.  that means that when the twins turn 18, sjp will be in ear early 60s, matthew in his mid-60s. i wonder why the couple decided now was the right time? hmm...we're in our mid-to-late 40s. let's have a baby! i'm just glad sarah won't be carrying the babies herself; that's the last thing her body (or the sex and the city sequel!) needs. speaking of satc 2, chris noth (mr. big/john james preston) will be coming back, despite reports he was unwilling to sign a contract.  the actor finalized his deal earlier this week.  the script for the movie has yet to be penned, by director michael patrick king is said to be leaning towards a baby theme.  yes, sjp could be a mother in real life and on screen.  i really don't think carrie is the mother-type though.  she doesn't even have a dog! the lack of script also means that gilles marini could be back as dante, samantha's horny neighbor, for the second go around.  i wouldn't be surprised if he made an appearance now that his celebrity has been increased by dancing with the stars.  

it's been confirmed

well, sort of.  as i mentioned a couple days ago, kristin cavallari was in attendance at the spedi wedding.  strange, no?  well mtv announced today that the hills was being picked up for another "continuation," when season 5 finishes out this fall. in the press release, the network listed cavallari as one of the show's new stars.  and, by calling this season 5 still, i can only imagine that the producers are hoping that lauren will return for sweeps episodes, which is likely since her former roommates audrina patridge (surprise - her reality show won't get started until this season of the hills is over...probably because no one's interested in the show) and lo bosworth will be sticking around.  stephanie pratt and her brother and sister-in-law will also be sticking around, alongside justin bobby.  aren't we done with him yet?? show sources won't confirm or deny that kristin is swooping in to take over narrating duties from lc, but it seems like the normal transition .  hey, it worked once on laguna beach - why mess with something that works? 

katy perry "wakes up in vegas"

katy perry's latest single and new music video, "waking up in vegas," premiered today and i can say i'm pleased.  this song was a standout track for me when i got the album this summer - it's in the vein of "i kissed a girl," but a little more pop-py.  the video is great, too.  exactly what you expect from a fun song like this.  nearly a year after the cd dropped, the music still holds up; and miss perry might have the song to rule summer again.  can that even be done?  two summers in a row?  i'd like to see her try at least.  this will be katy's 4 single off one of the boys, after "i kissed a girl," "hot and cold," and "thinking of you," which have all been major successes on the charts and on the radio.  check out the video above.  i dare you not to dance. even if it's just in your head. no word on when katy will head back into the studio to make some new music, but it'll have to be soon.  there's only 7 more songs on the album katy can release - 6 if you subtract "ur so gay," the song that helped launch her career from myspace.
