Greenwich Pizza Levels UP!

 

 

Other than Monday, midweek is usually the busiest time of the week.  But you just got to make time for dinner when you get an invite from Arpee to meet the Greenwich brand and PR execs –the folks who got us laughing watching the “sobrang cheesy” advertisements.  Smiling at the thought of Bubba giving his “sobrang cheesy!!!” remark with that cheesy facial expression of his 🙂

Now, the Greenwich team is back with more power and more supremacy.  The country’s favorite pizza chain, Greenwich, who gives the most scrumptious blend of delicious and exciting pizza (remember Sisig pizza?

Sex and the City 2 to Cancel Filming?

 

Is it true that there’s a storm brewing in the horizon?  SJP and Kim Cattrall, both stressed on the set, still can’t get along?  Crew says filming is not anymore fun and is always awkward.

 

 

According to OK! magazine, the feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall isn’t over, and is actually threatening to derail production on the new movie. 

A source told the mag: “While the cast is all smiles on the outside, the level of dislike is unbelievable. No-one is having a good time on this shoot.”

 

 

On top of this, Sarah Jessica Parker seems to be struggling to balance her role as Carrie Bradshaw with her duties as a mother to son James and new twins Marion and Tabitha.

“The crew have taken to calling her ‘Carrie Sadshaw’. When she doesn’t have to be ‘on’ in her scenes, she looks so sad,” added the source.

 

Kim Cattrall is lashing out reports that she and her “Sex and the City” co-stars don’t get along on the set, but admits she doesn’t want to spend her time off the set with them.

The actress has been quoted by marieclaire.co.uk as saying, “Do you get along with your colleagues all the time? If you’re spending 18 hours a day at work, the last thing you want to do is go and have a drink with the people who you just spend the day with. You just need to get away.”

Cattrall, 51, also defended her action of why she asked for a bigger paycheck in the upcoming movie of the hit HBO TV show. She admitted she complained about the difference in wages between the show’s main star Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the girls, but she insisted she deserves a better offer, as co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon also do.

She said, “I never expected to be paid what Sarah was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don’t ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued.”

 

Is there going to be a flashback scene?  That should be fun.

Johnny Depp, Public Enemy No. 1, Mad in Wonderland Leaving 4K Tip

 

Johnny Depp never plays a character unless it’s different and intriguing.  He is never the ordinary person in his films.  Lately, his name is making noise again in Hollywood for his most recent flick, Public Enemies.  In this Michael Mann directed film, Marion Cotillard plays his love interest. 

 

 

Depp was rumored to have left a very hefty tip while dining in Chicago last week.  Chicago was the setting of the new gangster movie.   He was dining with co-star and director at Gibsons Steakhouse and left well past midnight.  The unsuspecting waiter, Mohammaed A. Sekhani reportedly received a $4,000 tip from the star.

 

More than Public Enemies though, what is more interesting is the movie which he also stars in, Alice in Wonderland.  He will play the role of the Mad Hatter.  I love the imaginative fantasy of Alice in Wonderland when I was young, but the Mad Hatter in the book really gave me the creeps.  I wonder how Depp will fair in the role and Tim Burton behind the camera.  I like Tim’s eerie creative take on films.

Interestingly, Helena Bonham Carter is in the same film playing the Red Queen.  She is married to Burton.  Carter and Depp have both worked together during the filming of Sweeney Todd.

 

I am really excited to catch Alice in Wonderland.  Anne Hathaway plays the White Queen, Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, while Mia Wasikowska plays Alice.

Mia Wasikowska is a 19-year old Australian actress who earned critical praise in the HBO drama, “In Treatment.”  She was named Variety Magazine’s “10 actors to watch.”

 

Burton apparently chose her because of a certain emotional toughness reflected in her face… that makes her kind of an older person but with a younger person’s mentality.  Alice will be the only character in Wonderland who isn’t enhanced in some degree with makeup or digital manipulation.

 

American Idol Season 8 Finale

 

 

There is a new American Idol and it’s Kris Allen.  KRIS ALLEN, ladies and gentlemen.

 

Gotta give props to Adam Lambert because he was really a superstar all throughout the competition and he brought AI to a whole new level –singing and stage presence –wise.

Kris Allen despite missing some key notes in Kara DioGuardi’s written song, No Boundaries, triumphs as the last man standing in Season 8 of American Idol.  Even if Adam did a better performance hitting the notes, I feel that Kris’ acoustic rock voice suits the song better than Adam’s mellow Aerosmith voice.

Other than the star-studded guest list that includes Kiss and Queen, Kara DioGuardi made the season finale more memorable with an epic showdown between her and “bikini girl” Katrina Darrell.  Not so long ago during the auditions, Kara pointed out that Katrina didn’t hit the right notes.  Katrina made a sarcastic rebuttal that distressed Kara to showing her how it’s properly done.

At the end of the singing duel, Kara unveiled her bikini body by unbuttoning her trench dress to flash a black string bikini she had on underneath.  Ryan commented that by flashing the world at the end of the song, Kara won a bet and a donation to charity.

In other news, Hayden Christensen (no, not the infamous local doctor with scandalous videos) and Djimon Honsou stars in Mandrake the Magician adaptation.  Anakin Skywalker of Star Wars is supposed to do the lead role in the film “Mandrake.”  MTV news however reports that a representative from Hayden’s camp denies that he has anything to do with the film. 

 

The movie co-star Djimon Honsou will follow Hayden’s character, an “underground magician and escapologist” who is approached by the CIA to do some work after “a daring escape from an SUV that has been dropped out of an plane at the Burning Man Festival.  Hounsou will presumably be taking on the role of Mandrake’s assistant, Lothar.  I love Djimon Honsou in Blood Diamond and I cannot wait to see another film with him in it.

 

The Zeitgeist and Moon movies are the two movies I want to watch soon.  Have you seen Zeitgeist?
