Javier Bardem Offered Role In New 007 Film

Bardem, Javier Bardem.

Show Off Oscar winner Javier Bardem has been offered a staring roll in next year’s James Bond!!!!

Let’s take a sec to recap: FIRST he became a father as his wife, Penelope Cruz, gave birth, THEN he received (another) Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role in Biutiful, THEN he was offered the lead in Ron Howard’s Dark Tower adaptation and NOW the new gonna-be-a-blockbuster James Bond?!!?! Sorry but Javier’s new year has been way better than your’s.

The 23rd James Bond film’s director, Sam Mendes has kept details concerning the plot under wraps. We do know Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Bond and Judi Dench is officially set to return as his boss, “M.”

After winning an the Oscar for Best Actor 2008 for his villainous role in No Country For Old Men, it’s safe to guess that A) Javier was offered the role of Bond’s latest nemesis and B) his performance would be Brazilliant! But wait, is the villain suppose to be more attractive and more talented than the hero?

With Dark Tower planned as a film trilogy and TV series, the heavy time commitment might lead the new father to pass on the Stephen King project and sign up for the next Bond pic instead.

So now poor Javier Bardem has to decided whether to play the lead in Dark Tower, the supporting role in the new 007, or stay home and hang with Penelope and his son. Sorry Javier, you get no sympathy from us!

Do U think Javier is Hollywood’s next leading man?

Lucky Break, Charlie! LAPD Won’t Investigate Sheen For Drugs

 

charlie sheen not being investigated for drugs

Amidst all types of career and personal drama, at least Charlie Sheen can find solace in the fact that he won’t go to jail.

Sources say that the LAPD won’t be investigating Sheen for drugs, despite the fact that people who were at his house during his cocaine-porn party have fessed up about his drug use.

Apparently, since many of the girls at Charlie’s party have gone public about the events that took place, some of which for cash, LAPD has decided not to investigate further.

Also, no drugs were found at the house when the L.A. City Fire Dept arrived.

Looks like you seriously lucked out there, Charlie.

One potential disaster down – quite a few more to go…

So supportive!

We mentioned last week that Geri Jewell, best known for her role as Cousin Geri on The Facts Of Life, has a book coming out this spring that talks about her struggle as an actress with cerebral palsy and acknowledges she is a lesbian.

Charlotte Rae, who played Mrs. Garrett on the show, has come forward in full support of her former costars confession, calling her coming out “absolutely wonderful! She explained to sources:

“Her coming out as a lesbian, well, it’s a healthy time to come out, everybody is very open about it, which is wonderful, absolutely wonderful…I’m just very amazed at Geri Jewell, the struggles she’s had, the joys she’s given to so many people, the inspiration she’s been to all of us. I just wish her more and more good health and prosperity. She obviously knows how to love. We love her.”

How incredibly touching! We’re so happy to know that Geri has people like this in her life, people who care and respect her for the brave soul she is.

Pam & Jim Dish On Who’ll Be Replacing Michael At The Office

 

the-office-stars-spill-on-steve-carell-leaving.jpg

With the end of this season drawing near, everyone is still wondering who will be replacing Steve Carrell at The Office. A lot of names have been tossed around, but no one will confirm anything.

Not even costars Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski, though they were happy to talk about what the change means to them at the SAG Awards last night.

John explained that losing Steve on the show is “going to be massive” and while he’s sure he’ll love whoever comes in to replace him, he confessed that “no one will be able to do what he does truly.”

But who is this “no one”?! Who is going to take over Dunder Mifflin?! Jenna would only offer this as a clue:

“I can tell you that it’s not as simple as Steve leaving and a new person coming in. There’s going to be a lot of restructuring. You’re going to see people from the past and some new people.”

Grr! We hate not being in the know! C’mon! Someone fess up already!

EXCLUSIVE! First Look At John Leguizamo’s Ghetto Klown!

 

SO exciting!

Perezhilton.com has been sent some exclusive videos (above) of John Leguizamo’s upcoming Broadway show Ghetto Klown.

Along with the clips from the show, John has sent us a video invite to go check out his play, so we can see his skillz at roasting celebs, because according to him, we’re “the king of roasting.”

We’re flattered Mr. Leguizamo, but our hardcore roasting days are behind us! These days, we would NEVER dream of calling you out for thinking that The Pest, Spawn, and Righteous Kill were solid acting choices. LOLz.

We’re just kidding sort of.

Thank you for the invite, John! We have no doubt that you’ll give plenty of celebs a run for their money!

If these clips are any kind of indicator, we’re sure this is going to be a wonderfully HIGHlarious show!

Will U check out John Leguizamo’s Ghetto Klown?

Lea Michele Makes Hailee Steinfield Cry Smile At SAG Awards!

All is forgiven!

Even though neither of them walked away with an award last night, it was a special evening for both Lea Michele and Hailee Steinfeld as they finally got to put the past behind them and meet for the first time.

You’ll recall there was a rumor that Lea had snubbed 14-year-old Hailee’s request for an autograph on the Parmount lot while the young star was filming True Grit. We’ve since learned that it was actually a production assistant that sent Hailee away, reportedly crying, but that didn’t stop Lea from making amends last night.

The two lovely ladies were seated at the same table at the SAG Awards and Lea spent a good chunk of time chatting Hailee up as well as taking some pictures with her!

Totally better than an autograph, we think! Glad to see all is well now!

P.S. – Seriously, how tiny are you Lea? You’ve got ten years on this girl and she’s got 10 inches on you! Wow!

Dear Sarah Palin…

 

sarah palin thinks people will blame her for egypt

Not everything is about you!

We find it pret-ty ridiculous that Sarah Palin is trying to insinuate that anybody would blame her for what’s going on in Egypt.

During a speech in Reno on Saturday, Sarah spoke about how she thinks “a recently discussed media boycott of her is good” so nobody will blame her for the uprising taking place in Egypt.

Here’s what she said about her media boycott:

“[It] sounds good, because there’s a lot of chaos in Cairo, and I can’t wait to not get blamed for it–at least for a month.”

Get over it, Sarah. We’re not 100% sure if you were trying to be “funny” or “cute” by making this comment OR if you were actually serious, but please leave the Egypt situation alone.

It has NOTHING to do with you.

Thoughts???

Charlie Sheen’s Costing CBS Millions!

 

charlie-sheen-costs-cbs-millions.jpg

We’re actually kind of surprised. With their star being less than reliable, you would have thought CBS would’ve had a Plan B in case something like this happened. (And it was bound to happen sooner or later.)

As Charlie Sheen settles into rehab, he’s left his Two and a Half Men network completely in the lurch. We’re hearing that CBS stands to lose millions in ad revenue and syndication money because they won’t be able to finish the show without Charlie.

The grand total of funds potentially lost if Charlie can not return and the show is permanently shut down $250 million! And that’s just in domestic syndication revenue! Experts aren’t quite sure what they’ll lose in ads, but to put things in perspective, the show grossed CBS more than $155 million in ad revenue last season alone.

We’re talking over a quarter of a BILLION dollars forfeited because of one man! Remarkable, isn’t it?

In all honestly, we care less about the studio losing money than we do about all the poor people who work on the show who may lose their jobs because of all this. Just goes to show how one self-centered, arrogant man can ruin tons of people’s lives just by being careless.

Do you think he feels any remorse about that?
