• The Cast of Oliver Stone's 'W.' Gets Arrested in a Louisiana Bar
  

  Filed under: New Releases, Celebrities and Controversy, Politics, Celebrities Gone Wild!

  When Josh Brolin takes a night off from playing a young George W. Bush to get arrested in a bar, the jokes practically write themselves. (Method acting, anyone?) That's what happened in the wee hours of Saturday morning in Shreveport, La., as Brolin, co-star Jeffrey Wright (who plays Colin Powell), and five crew members from Oliver Stone's biopic W. were arrested at the Stray Cat bar and taken down to the big house.
  
  The Associated Press's account is sparse, so we turn to Shreveport's KSLA News 12 for more details (and...
  



• Dare to Delay Me -- Lindsay Lohan's Next Film On Hold
  

  Filed under: Drama, Music & Musicals, Deals, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, Celebrities Gone Wild!

  Producer Gary Hamilton, mostly known for direct-to-video crap although he also produced the stellar Aussie horror film Wolf Creek, recently chatted with Page Six about his upcoming film Dare to Love Me, starring Lindsay Lohan, and apparently production on that film has been postponed at the zero hour before cameras were about to roll. "I'm not sure the movie is going to go immediately," he confessed to the gossip rag, while deflecting the obvious question about whether insuring star Lohan was the financial hurdle he couldn't...

  If you're going to be in Miami from January 5th to 8th, you might want to stop by the Art Miami Fair at the Miami Beach Convention Center and behold a new painting of the Virgin Mary -- actually, make that the Virgin Angelina. Artist Kate Kretz is presenting a new oil and acrylic painting on linen entitled "Blessed Art Thou." It presents Angelina Jolie and her three children as the Virgin Mary and offspring, hovering in heavenly repose over a typical American Wal-Mart with flags draped...

  Mel Gibson wants you to know something: he's sick and tired of being called to account for his behavior. The Bird on a Wire star, turned director of flagellation epics like Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ, has given an interview to USA Today in which he opens up about his recent troubles and claims that his critics have not been treating him fairly. "I've apologized, done the right thing, now get the hell over it," he says. He also feels the public flogging he's...
  




• This Ain't No Hollaback Girl
  

  Filed under: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Celebrities Gone Wild!

  At long last, Angelina Jolie gave birth to a little girl this Saturday.  As Martha reported earlier, the baby's name is Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.  According to People magazine, Shiloh is a biblical name.  According to me, it is my favorite Neil Diamond song (yes, minus the "h" for all you ND sticklers).  This religious streak is getting a bit old.  The well of biblical names is bound to dry up sooner or later and then what will we be left with?  Magdalene Hilton?  Judas Simpson?  Lucifer Spears-Federline?  Seriously though, if they had to go biblical, they could...

  Ahem. So for those of you who have been on pins and needles waiting for the big announcement, here it is: Brad Pitt and Angelina Joliehad the baby with the world's fullest lips last night in Namibia, all of Hollywood's favorite birthing-ville.

  The details:
  
  • Name: Bacon Cheesecake Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt
  • Gender: Girl
  • Birth City: Walvis Bay
  • Looks: Reddish and squinty at the moment, but indications are...
    
  
  
  
  • Renfro back in court, and in the slammer
    

    Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand, Celebrities Gone Wild!

    Actor Brad Renfro (AKA the kid from The Client) has had sort of a tough week. On Monday he was before a judge for sentencing after pleading guilty to attempted possession of heroin, a charge stemming from his arrest in a December sting operation. Because California has a law that allows non-violent drug offenders to enter treatment rather than the state pen, the judge, in addition to handing down three years of probation and the warning of up to 18 months in...
    
  
  
  
  • Blogging Sundance sighting: Justin Timberlake
    

    Filed under: Sundance, Celebrities Gone Wild!

    
    Although the above blurry picture can hardly act as any definitive proof of the sighting, I promise you, dear Cinematical readers, that the blur in question snapped by the lens of my cellphone is in fact none other than Justin Timberlake. While we were enjoying the last moments of a delectable meal at Adolf's in Park City last night, Timberlake shot off to the restroom right in front of our table. I pulled my Razor out of my pocket and acted like I was trying to dial a number waiting for him to shoot by our table again, returning to his own, as fast as fast can be.
    
    Timberlake was in town in...
    
  
  
  
  • Happy Birthday H.A.L.!
    

    Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, Geek Report, Out of the Past, Celebrities Gone Wild!

    Everyone's favorite homicidal computer - Arthur C. Clarke's H.A.L. 9000 from his book 2001: A Space Odyssey - turns 9 years old today. A 2003 inductee into the Robot Hall Of Fame (along with R2-D2 from Star Wars), H.A.L. murdered the crew of the spaceship Discovery in Clarke's book and Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film (where a possible flubbed line had the maniacal machine born five years earlier). H.A.L. stands for "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer", with "Heuristic" and "Algorithmic" being two primary processes of intelligence, as the RHF website notes.

  • Scarlett doesn't believe in monogamy! Celebrities gone wild!
    

    Filed under: RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, Celebrities Gone Wild!

    • Good news for all you guys waiting for your shot: Scarlett Johannson says she doesn't believe in monogamy. "I don't believe humans are monogamous creatures by nature", Johannson said while promoting the Woody Allen flick Match Point, in which she costars. Frat boys everywhere reportedly high-fived each other in agreement.
    • Is Jonathon Rhys-Meyers secretly a girl? Johannson also says she would never date her Match Point costar, because he likes gossip and shoes and was "like a girlfriend on the set". Not the best image you want to project as a sexy leading man, perhaps.
    • Tori Spelling is apparently really bored from all the lack of...
