Simpson sister backlash

Posted in Celebrities, News, Singers on Jan 29th, 2008 | 0 comments

Despite their successes, the Simpson sisters continue to face harsh tabloid scrutiny.

Celebs: John Mayer | Nick Lachey | Madonna | Luke Wilson | Tony Romo | Jessica Simpson | Ashlee Simpson | Pete Wentz | Eva Longoria.

Between them, sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson have had one high-profile divorce, an embarrassing lip-synch scandal, plastic surgeries both obvious and subtle, blame for a Dallas Cowboys loss, and an impresario father looming over it all.

Each shot to prominence — and up the pop charts — by taking the primrose path of MTV reality shows.

Each has had shining success at selling records, followed by abject failure.

And that’s just a sampling. If you’re a celeb-watcher (or football bettor), it’s juicy stuff.

If you’re a Simpson sister, it’s beginning to look like a critical mass of negativity.

Of late, Jessica, 27, and sister Ashlee, 23, are regularly slimed in the blogosphere, which becomes more and more vicious as public interest in celebrities reaches an all-time high. Trying to nurture a career — and stay in fans’ good graces — amid gleefully ruthless tabloid scrutiny can’t be an easy feat.

Especially for Jessica. The singer/actress/shoe designer will likely avoid the Dallas Cowboys stadium after fans blamed her weekend trip to Mexico with quarterback Tony Romo for the Cowboys’ defeat by the New York Giants.

Eva Longoria rallied to Simpson’s defense, as did ex-boyfriend John Mayer. In a post on his blog, Mayer wrote: “I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. … It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her.”

For Simpson, who suffered a backlash of sorts after her marriage to Nick Lachey crumbled in 2005, bad press is apparently a side effect of living under the tabloid microscope.

“Jessica’s actually quite realistic about it,” publicist Elizabeth Wolfe told The Associated Press. “It’s part of the price of being in the public eye. She doesn’t like it. And if I were her mother, I would fight tooth and nail to protect her. But you can’t. She’s a grown-up woman, and she’s on her own and she’s doing the best she can.”

Wolfe is the spokeswoman for Millennium Films, which released Simpson’s new comedy, “Blonde Ambition,” co-starring Luke Wilson, to eight Texas theaters in December. It’s now available on DVD. Simpson’s upcoming films include “Major Movie Star,” in which she plays an actress-turned-Marine. These films follow her big-screen debut in “The Dukes of Hazzard.”

Meanwhile, Simpson’s little sister recently unleashed the video for her new single, “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya),” to mixed reviews online. Ashlee’s third solo album, “Bittersweet World,” is expected to be released in the spring.

Ashlee, a media magnet for her romance with Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz, positioned herself as the anti-Jessica in 2004 when she documented the making of her debut album, “Autobiography,” on an MTV series. That album sold 2.9 million copies and spawned several radio-friendly hits despite the revelation that she lip-synched during a performance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

Her 2005 disc, “I Am Me,” failed to register a hit and only sold 942,000 copies — still, that was better than the end tally (297,000) for her sister’s 2006 clunker, “A Public Affair.”

These days, Jessica’s gone country. She’s been recording a new album in Nashville, Tenn., to be released sometime this year, her publicist, Lauren Auslander, said recently. In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Jessica explained her reason for trying out a new sound: “I am a country girl. … I always wanted to make a country album, but I wanted to wait until the time was right.”

Ian Drew, editor-at-large for Us Weekly magazine, said the siblings, who are managed by their domineering father, Joe Simpson, and reportedly haven’t been shy about having cosmetic procedures, could certainly prove themselves again — all they need is a surefire single or some other success that would eclipse the drama surrounding their personal lives.

“My honest opinion is neither of them really have a great deal of talent,” Drew remarked. “They’re manufactured pop artists. So it comes down to: Could they buy the right song or not?”

Still, unlike an artist like Madonna, who has a weak voice yet a strong point of view, “these girls don’t really have anything to say,” Drew said. “They’re not very intelligent. They’re not very insightful. … And you can only go so far that way in the entertainment world.”

Publicist Howard Bragman said Jessica needs to stop juggling so many projects and “do fewer things better.”

“She’s still a very beautiful girl,” Bragman said. “There’s still a lot of media interest. She still has potential. … Once you’ve been a star, you can be a star again. That’s the beauty of America.”

Rambo is not No. 1 at the box office

Posted in Films and Movies, News on Jan 28th, 2008 | 0 comments

Rambo is not No. 1 at the box office .. ‘Rambo’ is No. 2
“Spartans” spoof conquers “Rambo” at box office.

It turns out that Rambo is no match for a bunch of silly Spartans.

“Meet the Spartans,” a parody of the ancient Greek warriors lionized in last year’s hit “300,” topped the North American weekend box office with $18.7 million, emerging victorious over the return of Sylvester Stallone’s signature action hero.

“I think everyone expected ‘Rambo‘ to be No. 1,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media by Numbers that compiles box office projections.

“There are definitely a lot of serious films out there now but there was a big enough audience looking to have silly, mindless fun at movie theaters,” Dergarabedian said.

Over the same weekend last year, another parody from News Corp-owned Twentieth Century Fox, “Epic Movie,” led the box office with an almost identical haul to “Meet the Spartans.”

“Fox has sort of perfected the art of the spoof movie released at this time,” Dergarabedian said.

According to estimates for the United States and Canada issued on Sunday, “Rambo,” a joint release from Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company, debuted at No. 2 with $18.2 million, while last week’s box office champ, rampaging-monster flick “Cloverfield,” fell to No. 4 with a take of $12.7 million.

Paramount’s “Cloverfield” was expected to lose some of its punch since a strong word-of-mouth marketing campaign was expected to have motivated many viewers to see it on its opening weekend.

Another new entrant was Sony’s cyber-thriller “Untraceable,” which opened at No. 5 with $11.2 million.

Critically acclaimed “There Will Be Blood” jumped into the top 10 for the first time, earning the eighth spot with $4.9 million after Paramount Vantage expanded the number of theaters to nearly 900.

Starring Daniel Day-Lewis as a ruthless Texas oilman, “There Will Be Blood” had a low-key debut late last year but has gathered steam after it got eight Oscar nominations.

“These are great results, it’s No. 8 in the marketplace with a limited release. We’re just seeing a sort of wonderful response across the country,” said Rob Schulze of Paramount Vantage.

PLAYING FOR LAUGHS: “Spartans” was one of five films in the top 10 that played for laughs. Romantic comedy “27 Dresses,” also from Twentieth Century Fox, fell one spot to No. 3 with $13.6 million while oops-I’m-pregnant film “Juno” from Fox Searchlight dropped two spots to No. 6 with $10.3 million, putting it over the $100 million mark since its Christmas release.

“The Bucket List,” a widely panned comedy from Warner Bros pairing Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as adventure-seeking cancer patients, was No. 7 with $10.2 million while female heist movie “Mad Money” came in at No. 10 with $4.6 million. “Mad Money” was the debut release of Overture Films, a unit of Liberty Media Corp.’s cable TV operator Starz LLC.

Disney’s “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” dug up a little more box office gold, with its $4.7 million making it good enough for No. 9. The Nicholas Cage adventure has raked in $205.4 million since its December release.

A blonde beauty who embodies the ever popular mix of sultriness and innocence, actress and former model Ali Larter was chosen by Esquire to be their November 1996 cover “It” girl in a parody of the Hollywood publicity machine.

Rose McGowan Wallpapers and Photos

Posted in Celebrities on Jan 26th, 2008 | 0 comments

Appearing as a cross between Betty Boop’s evil sister and a very curvaceous Hell’s Angel, actress Rose McGowan made an undeniably distinct impression on Hollywood in the late ’90s. With her sharp tongue and brash sensuality, McGowan has been a source of both titillation and discomfort to an industry that still hasn’t quite figured out what to do with women who are both unapologetically smart and sexual.  

Rose Arianna McGowan (born September 5, 1973) is an American actress best known for her role as Paige Matthews in The WB TV series Charmed, and the cult-classic The Doom Generation.

She has also appeared in several major Hollywood films, with leading roles in Scream, Jawbreaker, and the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez double-feature Grindhouse.

McGowan, the second-eldest of six children (plus two half-siblings), was born in Florence, Italy, the daughter of Terri, an American writer of French descent, and Daniel McGowan, an Irish -born artist.

Daniel McGowan ran an Italian chapter of the Children of God to which both he and his wife held membership until 1978. McGowan spent her early childhood amid the group’s communes, often traveling Europe with her parents. Through her father’s art contacts in Italy, McGowan became a child model and appeared in Vogue Bambini and various other Italian magazines.

Her parents returned to the United States when she was 10, when they divorced. She subsequently relocated to Oregon and then Gig Harbor, Washington, where she also met childhood friend actor Rey-Phillip Santos. McGowan did not speak English until she moved to the U.S.

McGowan’s formative years were spent with her father in Seattle, Washington, attending Roosevelt High School and Nova Alternative High School. At the age of 15, she officially emancipated herself from her parents. McGowan pursued a possible career in the film industry during her late teens, and also enrolled in a beauty school as a back-up.

McGowan made her first appearance in a Hollywood film with a bit role in the 1992 Pauly Shore comedy Encino Man. Her role in the 1995 black comedy The Doom Generation brought her to the attention of film critics, and she received a nomination for “Best Debut Performance” at the 1996 Independent Spirit Awards. McGowan was subsequently cast in a supporting role in the 1996 hit horror film Scream.

McGowan spent the majority of the 1990s appearing in a variety of independent films, including roles in Southie, Going All the Way, and Lewis & Clark & George.

In 1997, she appeared in the critically acclaimed short Seed, directed by San Francisco-born filmmaker Karin Thayer, and played opposite Peter O’Toole in the 1998 film adaptation of the Dean Koontz novel Phantoms. Notably, McGowan also starred in the 1999 comedy Jawbreaker, where she played a high school student who tries to cover up a classmate’s murder. That role earned McGowan a nomination for Best Villain at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.

In 2001, McGowan was cast as Paige Matthews in the popular The WB television series Charmed, as a replacement lead actress after Shannen Doherty’s departure from the show. She was offered to be a producer after the seventh season, but turned it down. The series ended its run on May 21, 2006.

Rosario Dawson & Rose McGowan Do Rolling StoneIn May 2005, McGowan portrayed actress/singer Ann-Margret in Elvis, a Golden Globe-winning CBS mini-series about the life of Elvis Presley. That same year, she lent her voice to the video game Darkwatch as a femme fatale named Tala. The game was published by Capcom for PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

In 2006, McGowan had a brief role in Brian De Palma’s Academy Award-nominated film The Black Dahlia. The following year, she starred in the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez double-feature Grindhouse, released on April 6, 2007.

Cast in utterly divergent roles, McGowan appears in both portions of the film, as go-go dancing Cherry in Planet Terror, and as Pam in Death Proof. McGowan attended the 60th Annual Cannes Film Festival to promote Death Proof along with Robert Rodriguez, Rosario Dawson, Tracie Thoms, Zoe Bell, and Quentin Tarantino.

According to Variety, McGowan has signed on to play B-movie staple Susan Cabot in the upcoming film Black Oasis. Director Stephan Elliott (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) has penned and will direct the film based on a Premiere article by John H. Richardson.

McGowan was the face of American clothing company Bebe from 1998 – 1999. She was also the cover model for the Henry Mancini tribute album Shots in the Dark, which was released in 1996.

In addition to clothing endorsements, McGowan has appeared on numerous magazine covers, including Seventeen, Interview, Maxim, GQ, Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone. She has also frequently been featured on Maxim, FHM and Stuff magazine’s sexiest women lists.

In 1996, McGowan was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her role in The Doom Generation. A few years later, at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards, she was nominated for “Best Villain” for her role in Jawbreaker.

In 2005, McGowan won “Best Sister” at the Family TV Awards, for her role on Charmed. In 2006, Blender included her on their list of the sexiest women of TV and film.

The most recent award won by McGowan was under the category Femme Fetale for the 2007 Spike TV Guys’ Choice Awards, which aired June 13, 2007. The award was for the role of Cherry in Grindhouse. McGowan is currently nominated for “Scream Queen” at the 2007 Scream Awards on Spike TV.

Personal life: McGowan used to live in Seattle, Washington, but currently resides in Los Angeles, California. She was in a very public three and a half-year relationship with rock musician Marilyn Manson, and often appeared with him at celebrity events in extremely provocative clothing, such as the chain-mail transparent dress and thong she wore to the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

McGowan later ended their two-year engagement over “lifestyle differences.” She has since gone on to have relationships with fellow actor Kip Pardue, TV personality Ahmet Zappa, and Men’s Health magazine editor David Zinczenko. Prior to the release of Grindhouse, there was speculation that McGowan was dating Mexican-American director Robert Rodriguez.

In May 2007, it was reported that they confirmed their relationship while appearing hand-in-hand at the Cannes Film Festival. On October 12, 2007 it was announced by Zap2itcom that McGowan was engaged to Rodriguez.

McGowan has admitted to sleepwalking as a child. “The weirdest spot I ever woke up was a snow bank in Montreal. Now I just speak Italian in my sleep”.

McGowan is known as an activist for Boston Terriers. She herself has two, Bug and Fester, and has personally donated to various Boston rescues. McGowan reportedly encouraged friends to donate to Boston Terrier Rescue Net, and according to BTRN: “Having fallen in love with Bug and Fester, her friends donated generously. It amounted to a considerable contribution, which will go a long way in helping BTRN and the needy volunteers who selflessly give to deserving Bostons.”

McGowan and her friend Natasha Andres have recently started selling their own line of Pinken Mint purse caddies, which are hooks used to hang handbags from tables and chairs in restaurants as an alternative to resting them on possibly unclean floors. Celebrities such as Keira Knightley, Carmen Electra, and Virginia Madsen have been known to use the caddies.

According to an article in the New York Post, McGowan suffered serious injuries in a car accident early in 2007. Riding as a passenger, her car was struck by another vehicle and the force of the impact drove her eyeglasses into her face.

McGowan is quoted as saying, “I didn’t realize I was hurt until I put my hand to my face and felt the flap of skin. My glasses had sliced me under my eye.” After obtaining the services of a plastic surgeon, McGowan is reported to be suffering no long-lasting consequences from the incident.

Of her acting method, she has said “I’m not really one of those people who goes and writes some big backstory and agonizes over characters… For me personally, it’s just kind of more instinctive. But I don’t have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally”. As a victim of sexual assault, McGowan continues to lead discussions on the subject among campus groups.

On her right shoulder, Rose used to have a distinctive tattoo of a woman. The design comes from a painting that Rose’s Grandfather had painted on the side of his WWII plane.

The tattoo clearly shows Rose’s love for the 40’s, and glamorous women from that period. Rose McGowan’s style is also very much like actresses from Black and White movies.

Although Charmed make-up artists attempted to cover the tattoo in most episodes, they were sometimes unable to cover it completely and you could just about see the outline. Her tattoo was on show in some of her films, for example Jawbreaker, in which she played bad girl Courtney Alice Shayne. During 2004 Rose decided to have her tattoo removed. Although it’s still slightly visible, its no longer the bold trademark tattoo it was. Rose McGowan also has some piercings. She has both ears pierced, and her belly button.

Music: While dating Manson, McGowan appeared in a music video for the song “Coma White”, and also performed backing vocals on the song “Posthuman.” Both of these songs are available on the album Mechanical Animals. Manson later wrote a track that is rumored to be inspired by their failed relationship “(s)AINT” found on the Golden Age of Grotesque.

McGowan appeared on a BT track called “Superfabulous” from his album Emotional Technology, which was also featured on the final Charmed soundtrack, The Final Chapter. The song has been featured in several films, including Win a Date with Tad Hamilton and Raising Helen.

She wrote and recorded a song titled “Protection,” which was featured in her 2001 film Strange Hearts. McGowan has also appeared in the Imperial Teen music video for “Yoo Hoo”, which was featured on the Jawbreaker soundtrack.

McGowan has expressed interest in recording an album of her own. During an interview with Living TV, she said, “I was actually thinking of going back and doing more soulful tunes and older tunes…and I would love to, when I have a little bit more time.” In the Charmed episode “Sense and Sense Ability,” McGowan performed, in character, a cover of the Peggy Lee classic “Fever.”

In 2007, it was announced that McGowan would be performing three songs from the Planet Terror portion of Grindhouse. These songs will be released on soundtrack by the Varese Sarabande label. The songs are entitled “You Belong to Me”, “Useless Talent #32″ and “Two Against the World.” A clip of the Dean Martin classic “You Belong to Me” can be found on YouTube.
