Spears Badly Wanted Another Child

myOpinions — Sat, 28 May 2011 07:33:02 +0000

Britney Spears is again riding the wave, with her latest album, “Femme Fatale,” earning raving reviews and preparations for a new tour underway. Deep down inside, though, she’s very unhappy – because all she really wants right now is to have another baby. Britney Spears wants to have another baby and to start a family with her boyfriend Jason Trawick, but she can’t because her dad Jamie would not risk her sinking into depression again. She’s always wanted a large family and there’s nothing she wants more right now than to become pregnant again, but Jamie has strictly forbidden her even from thinking about it.

Though Britney desperately wants to marry Jason, 39, and give him a biological child of his own, her dad, Jamie, recalls her horrifying bout with Britney herself said was postpartum depression, which occurred after the birth of her second son, Jayden, and sent her into a downward spiral that eventually landed her in a mental institution. Understandably, Jamie loves his daughter and would give anything to see her happy, so this is not about having his wish over hers.

However, he believes that Britney is still not stable enough to go through the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy again – and the decision is breaking Britney’s heart. “While Jamie understands that Britney is ‘in love with Jason and wants to start a family with him,’ the source shares, he’s also trying to be realistic. ‘He feels she’s still too unstable to even think of having another baby”. That hasn’t stopped her from dreaming about having a baby girl. “More than once, the pal confides, Britney has told Jason that she’d love to have ‘three more kids.’ But now, it appears that for her own safety, Britney may have to put that plan on hold forever”.

Eminem New Single ‘Space Bound’

myOpinions — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:33:57 +0000

Eminem is getting ready to release another music video that is bound to cause the same media frenzy as his previous one, “Love the Way You Lie.” The rapper and adult movie star Sasha Grey are now shooting the video for “Space Bound.” Just like “Love the Way You Lie,” “Space Bound” is a very heavy and intense track, so it’s only understandable that it came with an equally intense video.

According to PopEater, Em and Sasha have been shooting the video for a couple of days, which could mean fans should expect it to come out in the following weeks. The video, which also stars Sasha Grey as his leading lady, was shot over the past few days and nights in Santa Clarita, Calif. Since the track is about a love gone wrong, which also ends in violence, it’s believed that Eminem will be playing himself while Sasha will be the girl who breaks his heart, as the lyrics of the song go.

It is also cites celebrity blogger Perez Hilton as saying that both are in nearly every scene in the video, which could be the closest thing to a confirmation at this point that they will be playing lovers. According to Perez Hilton, Eminem and Grey were acting out an ‘intense storyline’ and were in every scene together. As Hilton points out, like most Eminem tracks on ‘Recovery,’ ‘Space Bound’ is a pretty heavy song, so it would be no surprise to get an equally deep video,” PopEater says.

Megan Fox the Face of Beauty

myOpinions — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:44:30 +0000

Megan Fox a former “Transformers” actress has just been “promoted” from Giorgio Armani underwear to beauty products. A new ad naming her the Face of Beauty has been unveiled, together with the announcement that she will be the face of the brand from now on. That Fox is a stunner is no longer news, yet the announcement comes as somewhat of a shock since she’s been keeping a very low profile as of late, almost slipping off the radar altogether.

Still, given how successful the campaign she fronted for Armani underwear was, it’s not really that much of surprise that the fashion house wanted to extend its collaboration with her. First video from the brand new campaign has just been released and it’s meant to emphasize just how gorgeous and, at the same time, versatile Fox is. The ad, also embedded at the end of the article, shows the actress as if waking up, wearing minimal, natural-looking makeup. A series of flashes show her trying out various looks – and they’re all pretty jaw-dropping.

What all these looks have in common – aside from Fox, obviously – is that they’re all very feminine and glamorous.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Will Be Last Batman Film

myOpinions — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 16:18:14 +0000

At this time both director Chris Nolan and lead star Christian Bale have confirmed that the third Batman, the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises” will also be the last, fans are already starting to feel bad about it. On this note, EW argues Bale was just the hero the franchise needed and deserved. In a recent piece, Entertainment Weekly argues that, though the franchise goes back many years and has had countless respectable stars as the caped crusader, only one managed to do it justice: and that person was Bale.

Clearly, the EW report argues, Batman will live again, perhaps very soon after Nolan is done with it with “The Dark Knight Rises,” but woe the daredevil director and actor who will have to step in their predecessors’ shoes. To illustrate how valuable Bale’s contribution has been to the Batman franchise, EW cited an older story according to which director Joel Schumacher cast George Clooney in “Batman & Robin” after drawing the bat-mask on his face with a Sharpie, to see whether he’d be good for the part.

“Clearly, Bale has been more to Batman than just a face that looks good in the bat-suit, the report says. His Batman / Bruce Wayne were much more complex than his modern cinematic predecessors’ (Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and Clooney). I think it had something to do with the fact that Bale’s hero wore his responsibilities of protector as a burden and Bale the actor never took that role lightly – even for a winking instant. His Bruce Wayne doesn’t seem to enjoy his work, and that made him the perfect hero for Christopher Nolan’s dark and gritty Gotham,” the report explains.

“Bale’s dedicated Bruce Wayne rivals Christopher Reeve’s Superman when it comes to an actor whose talent, physicality, and disposition best reflect their superhero character, and even though he hasn’t yet donned the Batsuit for Nolan’s third and final film, I’m already bummed that the end is in sight,” EW says.

Tom Cruise Announces Next Mission Impossible Title

myOpinions — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 07:47:40 +0000

This week is definitely the week when big franchises announce official names of upcoming installments. Tom Cruise has just confirmed the official name for the next “Mission Impossible” film: “Ghost Protocol.” Tom has been working on the upcoming film as early as September, when he was spotted for the first time in character in Prague, shooting a scene in disguise. In a recent press conference, the actor spoke a bit about why he had agreed to do a fourth film and, at the same time, revealed the official name for it, as ScreenCrave confirms.

“Today, Tom Cruise and Paramount have unveiled the title of the next Mission Impossible. The fourth installment in the series will be called Ghost Protocol. Let that simmer for a bit. Cruise appeared in front of a packed house filled with journalists at a press conference in Dubai on Thursday where he announced the Ghost Protocol title. The actor stated that he didn’t want this movie to follow in the footsteps of the previous films with the same generic name of MI: 2 or MI:3,” the e-zine says.

“One of the things that I always wanted with the franchise was for it to not have a number afterward, because I haven’t made sequels of films, and I never really thought of these films as sequels,” the actor said. “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” is set for theatrical release in December 2011, so, until then, make sure you keep an eye on this space for more details.

‘Eclipse’ Sets Another Box Office Record

myOpinions — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 07:46:44 +0000

The third installment in “The Twilight Saga” is poised to become an even bigger hit that either of its predecessor. Midnight shows alone, totaling some 4,000 theaters, have led to ticket sales in the range of $30 million, which literally makes the biggest opener in a very long time, Box Office Mojo reports. What’s more, this is only the beginning, industry insiders say.

“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ripped into the record books with its midnight launch, grossing over $30 million at more than 4,000 theaters. That surpassed The Twilight Saga: New Moon’s previous benchmark of $26.3 million. Included in Eclipse’s sum was a new IMAX midnight milestone of over $1 million at 192 venues, topping Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’s $959,000,” the aforementioned publication, which specializes in box office performance and numbers, informs.

“The vampire romance sequel had already cast the widest opening net ever, biting into a whopping 4,416 locations (more theaters are expected to be added on Friday). Iron Man 2 previously held that title with 4,380 locations, while Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hold the record for highest location count ever at 4,455. Eclipse’s count includes 193 IMAX venues, which is just shy of Shrek Forever After’s 194 record,” the e-zine goes on to say.

This is just the beginning, industry insider’s estimate. While “New Moon” broke records with its very strong opening weekend, “Eclipse” is believed to be on the right path to fare even better. Judging by these initial numbers, one can rightly say that the Twilight frenzy is nowhere near the point of dying down.

Doomed Life of Lindsay Lohan

myOpinions — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:16:33 +0000

Despite the fact that she continues to stress that everything in her life is okay and she’s doing better than ever – especially now that she’s wearing a court-ordered alcohol-monitoring device, which means she’s staying clean – Lindsay Lohan can’t shake disaster rumors. The other week, her assistant quit, saying there was only so much she could take, and friends are now telling TMZ Lohan’s life is heading towards disaster because of it.

“The woman who just quit Lindsay Lohan was not just an assistant – she was her lifeline – and LiLo’s friends are worried this is the beginning of a total unravel. Friends of Lohan tell us Lindsay is going to have a hard time finding anyone reliable to sign on, and without an assistant she will never keep the appointments that could make the difference between freedom and jail,” TMZ writes citing sources close to the actress who are willing to spill the beans on her situation.

“For starters, Lindsay is legally prohibited from driving and relies on her assistant to take her here and there – including her alcohol ed courses. We’re also told Lindsay is incredibly disorganized and can’t function without someone leading her by the nose. She seems incapable of scheduling meetings, doctor’s appointments, or work projects. Bottom line… for us an assistant is a luxury. For Lindsay it’s make or break,” the same media outlet informs.

Kristen Stewart ‘fan interest make me sick’

myOpinions — Sun, 30 May 2010 17:50:32 +0000

Undeniably Kristen Stewart, along with “Twilight” co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, is one of the hottest stars of the moment, being able to command the kind of attention and media coverage few other actors her age can. Yet, all this interest in her and particularly in her personal life does not have the effect one might expect on Kristen, for she feels sickened by it, she says in a recent interview cited by News.com.

Of course, fans know that this is not the first time that Kristen complains about how life in the spotlight has turned to be more of a nightmare for her instead of a magical dream come true. In past interviews, the actress even admitted to coming to the conclusion that it would be best for her if she just stayed in hiding for most of the time, and only came out when she was contractually bound to. Given her recent statement, one can see why she’d choose to live her life like this.

In a separate but still recent interview, Kristen also compares the relationship she has with paparazzi to being abused, which is the last thing she would have imagined her life would turn out to be. “All you see is an actor or a celebrity lit up but a flash. It’s so… The photos are so… I feel like I’m looking at someone being [abused]. A lot of the time I can’t handle it. It’s [expletive]ed. I never expected that this would be my life,” she explains.

Kristen Stewart, with her rumored real-life boyfriend Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, will be seen next in the third installment of “The Twilight Saga,” called “Eclipse,” out in theaters on June 30. On June 6, Twi-hards will get the chance to see a brand-new clip from the film at the MTV Movie Awards, where the trio will also be in attendance.

Fame Breakup Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush

myOpinions — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:22:18 +0000

It goes to show that their relationship has often been a troubled one, if one is to believe every rumor that came out in the past year or so. However, fame has finally ended up by taking a toll on the romance between Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, with the two considering now whether it wouldn’t be a better idea to just let things cool down for once, as People magazine reveal.

“The couple, who started dating in 2007 and broke up briefly in 2009, haven’t ended things – but they are taking a step back in their relationship. ‘They are trying to decide what to do right now,’ a source tells People. ‘Reggie has issues with her busy life and schedule and she can’t give it all up.’ But this couple isn’t calling it quits yet. On Monday, Bush flew to Miami and spent the day with Kardashian. Says the source: ‘It was super cool between them’,” People magazine writes.

Seemingly, given the kind of exposure Kim is now getting and the many projects she’s working on, things have changed a lot in their relationship. Reggie, for one, is not certain he can cope with all this on the long term, which is why they’re taking some time off to think things through, the report, goes on to argue. This is not a definite breakup, the same sources cited above insist.

‘Potter’ author Rowling hit with plagiarism lawsuit

myOpinions — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:11:39 +0000

According to the latest MSN Entertainment News, Rowling has been named in a lawsuit alleging she stole ideas for her wildly popular and lucrative “Harry Potter” books from another British author. The estate of the late Adrian Jacobs on Wednesday added Rowling as a defendant in a lawsuit it filed in June against Bloomsbury Publishing PLC for alleged copyright infringement, according to a statement released by the estate’s representatives, who are based in Australia.

The lawsuit, filed in a London court, claims Rowling’s book “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” copied substantial parts of Jacobs’ 1987 book, “The Adventures of Willy the Wizard — No. 1 Livid Land.” Jacobs’ estate also claims that many other ideas from “Willy the Wizard” were copied into the “Harry Potter” books. Jacobs died in London in 1997. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” is the fourth book in Rowling’s series and was published in July 2000.

Sydney agent Max Markson, who is representing the trustee of Jacobs’ estate, Paul Allen, said Rowling was added to the lawsuit after Allen learned that the statute of limitations to sue her had not run out, as previously thought.

“I estimate it’s a billion-dollar case,” Markson said Thursday. “That’ll be the decision of the courts, obviously.”

There was no immediate comment from Rowling. In June, Bloomsbury said the allegation that Rowling lifted from Jacobs’ work was “unfounded, unsubstantiated and untrue.” Bloomsbury said Jacobs’ estate first approached the company in 2004 with its claims, but was unable to identify any text in the “Harry Potter” books that was copied from “Willy the Wizard.”

In a statement, Allen said the estate is also seeking legal advice on whether the Harry Potter films and soon-to-be-opened Harry Potter theme park breach copyright law.
