Sean Penn and Jim Carrey the New Stooges and Bob Barker Returns to “Price is Right”

Sean Penn as Larry from “The Three Stooges?” I’d have to see it to believe it… and even then I might not accept it. Then again, Penn is a double Oscar winner, so perhaps it won’t be that much of a stretch. After all, Penn did get his start in Hollywood playing goofball Jeff Spicoli in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” Regardless, the news of Penn signing on to play Larry in the Farrelly brothers’ big-screen update of “The Three Stooges” still caught me off guard. Penn is teaming up with Jim Carrey (who is currently “in negotiations” for the … Continue reading →

The Majestic (2001)

Jim Carrey is a phenomenal actor. It doesn’t seem to matter whether he’s doing a goofy or a serious role—he takes it to the limit and doesn’t back off. I think one of his best performances is in “The Majestic,” a PG-rated film set in 1951. Peter Appleton is a screenplay writer. He’s been creating B movies for most of his career and has just finished the script for a film he believes will get him on the A list at last. But just as the film is getting ready for production, Peter is blacklisted—Congress wants him to admit to … Continue reading →

Stars Strike Back at Radio Talk Show Host

If you want to learn how to make enemies in Hollywood (and beyond) take lessons from Michael Savage. The popular (or once so) radio talk show host is feeling the heat from parents everywhere, especially those whose offspring are challenged with autism. On his nationally syndicated radio show last week Savage described 99 percent of children with autism as “brats.” (His exact quote was: “In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out.”) And he didn’t stop there. Savage went on to say: “What do you mean they scream and they’re … Continue reading →

Celebrity Do-Gooders Turn Their Attention to Myanmar

Lending a hand to those in war-torn Darfur is so yesterday. These days Hollywood’s A-listers are turning their sights on another country that treats its people poorly—-Myanmar (also known as Burma). Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston and Ellen Page are among the stars supporting a new campaign aimed at bringing to light the atrocities committed by members of Myanmar’s military-run government. Carrey was the first celeb to film a public service announcement to raise awareness about the Southeast Asian country and human rights leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been confined by the government for 12 of the … Continue reading →
