When I read this I just had to comment. British model Elizabeth Hurley and new husband Arun Nayar recently tied the knot in India. They had some fun with their wedding and cracked jokes at the Hindu religion and wedding ceremony.
According to the Indian government, deliberate “outrage” of any religion is punishable by 3 years in prison. The couple drank alcohal before the cerimony and kissed near a sacred fire, apparently a fire that should never be kissed by… The courts are expected to decide the case within the next week, potentially putting both newlyweds behind bars for 3 entire years.
In other news, pop singer Britney Spears has shaved her head completely bald. Rumor has it that this was a direct result of a confrontation she had with ex-husband Kevin Federline. He had threatened to have her hair tested to find out exactly what she’s been up to.
As can be expected when something like this happens, the jokes are flying off the shelves. David Letterman and Jay Leno of course had quite a good laugh over the singer’s recent antics, but I have to tip my hat to Craig Ferguson, who took the higher road this time around.
Ferguson has been known to have a good laugh at Britney’s expense on his “The Late Late Show” on CBS, but this time around he received a standing ovation in the media for his lack of jokes. He felt that joking about Spears was not the answer this time around, and stated that she clearly needs help. His comments were genuine and well received by fans nationwide.
I guess the only question left is will Britney keep up the new look and go with wigs. She’s already been spotted wearing various wigs around town.
Bruce Willis currently has two big action packed movies rolling out in 2007. First, there is the “Perfect Stranger.” Willis plays the owner of Victoria’s Secret, but in this new movie, he has some secrets of his own, and as the trailer suggests, he has had to pay big money to make them go away. Halle Berry co-stars (and is actually mentioned first in the credits) in this action packed thriller due out on Friday the 13th, this April 2007. View the trailer here!
Not to be outdone by our good friend Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis is also seeking to relive the glory days. In his case though, we all know that Mr. Willis still has it. I am of course, NOT referring to his hair. In a movie titled “Live Free or Die Hard,” Bruce Willis returns to the “Die Hard” scene. Strangely enough his name doesn’t appear immediately on the trailer homepage, but this is most likely due to the curiosity factor the studio is trying to create. It worked on me for sure. I watched the trailer and was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face. View the trailer here!
You may not recognise the name Sean Bean, but you would probably recognise the guy who played 006 in the James Bond movie GoldenEye, Boromir in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Ian in the sleeper hit “National Treasure.” Notoriously known for playing the “Bad guy,” Sean Bean has stared alongside Hollywood legends such as Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas, and Nicholas Cage but he doesn’t seem to ever get the spotlight.
That has changed recently with the release of the horrible.. er, horror movie “The Hitcher.” Bean plays a psychotic hitchhiker that will soon leave you asking yourself, “What ever happened to the nicer, more sinister bad guy Sean Bean we have come to know and love? “What, no glib remark? No pithy comeback?” 006 asked 007 this very question in the 1993 hit GoldenEye, but now I find myself wondering, what in the world is Sean Bean doing in a teen slasher movie. He’s much better than that. Sure he plays a good bad guy, but let’s put him in a superhero movie or something. To be honest I’m not sure why he hasn’t been in one of those already. There seem to be plenty of Marvel/DV movies to go around.
Heath Ledger is known for his boyish good looks and for generally playing the good guy. That’s all about to change. Just a few months ago he was confirmed to star as “The Joker” in Christopher Nolan’s sequel to the very popular “Batman Begins” starring Christian Bale as Batman. Ledger has been in some darker movies such as “The Order” and “Ned Kelly” but his roles in those movies don’t do much to prepare him for the idolized “Joker” role. It’s going to be intense and he’s going to have to really work hard to pull this off.
The Joker has always been very animated and colorful. That style joker may or may not work well in this new darker Batman world. Gotham is a dark and scary place and based on the portrayal of Scarecrow in Batman Begins, I imagine the new Joker will be more scary and less funny. Heath Ledger really doesn’t strike me as “The Joker” when I look at him though. To be honest I’m not really sure what Nolan was thinking when picking him but maybe he sees something I don’t. One can only hope. After all, the bar has been raised quite high this time around. “The Dark Knight” is set to be released in 2008.
