Michael Jackson’s Daughter, Paris, Set To Appear In Film
When not breaking records as the first female footballer of her school, 13-year-old Paris Jackson is turning down offers to appear as a spokesperson for lingerie football leagues and — apparently — taking film roles. The middle Jackson child is slated to play the heroine in a fantasy film entitled Lundon’s Bridge And The Three Keys.
The film in based on a young adult series by author Dennis H. Christen. The plot details a particular type of magic that changes a dolphin into a human. Later, a darker spell transforms a young boy into a dragonfly and a “good jellyfish queen” becomes a sinister fairy godmother, according to Daily Mail. Profits from this film will reportedly go towards funding American public school system in some capacity. More »

Why Is Olivia Wilde Suddenly Afraid To Show Her Nipples?
It’s a well-known fact in Hollywood that nipples are magic. You can show the whole rest of your boob and everything’s fine, but as soon as a hint of the pointy center part shows, you are one of “those” actresses.

Virgin Viewing: ‘The Goonies’
One of the best things about doing this feature is that I’ve been able to catch up on pop culture references I was missing out on. And few movies are more beloved and quoted by my friends than The Goonies. Last week, when I watched Mary Poppins, I enjoyed the movie but figured that I would have liked it better had I watched it as a kid. With The Goonies I had the same fear: is it a movie you love because it’s just plain awesome, or is it a movie you love because it had major childhood nostalgia connected to it? Luckily, the answer is yes to both. More »
The 7 Most Bizarre Instances of Extreme Branding
Morgan Spurlock‘s new documentary POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold is in theaters today, April 22 — perhaps you’ve already gotten the joke. A doc about making a movie that’s funded entirely by corporate sponsors (he uses Iron Man as his yardstick), all of the footage is of Spurlock approaching these corporations for funding. It’s a little bit Inception-y — “I’m watching Morgan Spurlock call up [x corporation] to give him money, and they’re talking about how in the movie the footage would be of him calling the company…” — and very meta. It’s also fascinating and very entertaining. More »

Star Shrinking: Lindsay Lohan Can Only Play Real People
Poor Lindsay Lohan just can’t seem to catch a break. Though she’s out of rehab and isn’t going to do time for her alleged necklace-stealing, she hasn’t yet landed a film role. Although there have been a ton of casting rumors, nothing has panned out for our erstwhile LiLo. However, there is one interesting connection between all the roles she has been attached to. It seems that the only parts she’s getting offered are playing real people. More »
Virgin Viewing: ‘Raiders Of the Lost Ark’
Here’s the thing about classic movies – they have a whole lot of dudes in them. The Godfather was basically a bunch of dudes killing each other with women sticking their heads in and getting martyred every now and then. Back to the Future made Jennifer a non-entity and then had Marty’s mom mack on him. Jaws was a bromance interspersed with shark-fighting. Despite being sort of tired of dude movies, the next movie on my Omigod What Do You Mean You’ve Never Seen THAT? Netflix queue was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Between Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, That Guy Who Played the Nazi Leader, and the rest, it seemed pretty dude-centric. A dudegasbord, if you will. But then something wonderful happened: Karen Allen. More »
