Well, I have not read it anywhere but have heard it reported on all of my local morning shows "Gossip" segments.

Supposedly, Madonna had invited Missy over to her house so they could "bond" before they shot the ad and Missy turned her down. Then the day of the shoot Madonna arrives on time and so does Missy but Missy sits in her car talking on her cell phone for almost an hour. Madonna eventually goes out into the parking lot and taps on the window only to be waved off by Missy. Finally Missy comes n so things can get underway.

I just heard on the radio that Whoopi Goldberb has been approached to play the late Latin Sensation Celia Cruz, i just don't think this make any sense. They say that the Latino community is outrage because the feel a latin actress should potray the role.

Why wouldn't it make sense? The late Celia Cruz was Afro-Cuban. Although Whoopi is AfAm, it's still the diaspora.

Patti would make a good Celia Cruz. She sang "Ave Maria" at Ms. Cruz' funeral, BTW.

It was also reported that Madonna didn't want to be outdone by Missy who wore her personal jewelry to the shoot so Madonna went out and requested over $5 million dollars worth of jewelry for the ad. MTV reported that the chain hanging from her back pocket alone (in the opening shot) was worth over $300,000.

During the rest of the segment, Missy had praised Madonna as one of her icons/role models because she set the standard of freedom and doing what she wanted to do musically, which Missy does in her own music.

Star-couple comedies die laughing
 
Can't say I am surprised.

From USAToday.

Star-couple comedies die laughing By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
Romantic comedies and adventures are Hollywood's closest thing to a sure bet. Unless they star actual couples.

Though Gigli starred the hottest Hollywood pair around, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, it flopped at the box office.


The latest flop came during the weekend from the hottest pair on the planet. Horrific reviews and bad buzz had dimmed prospects for Gigli, the comedy starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, but the film could not reach even lowered expectations.

Gigli took in $3.8 million, according to box office firm Nielsen EDI. That's about one-third of analysts' expectations and easily makes the $54 million film the disappointment of the year. It replaces last month's Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, which opened at $6.9 million and took in $25.3 million.

After that film flopped, distributor DreamWorks said it was through making hand-drawn animated films. No such ban on romantic comedies or movies starring Affleck and Lopez is expected from distributor Sony, but studios might want to think twice before casting real-life couples in romances.

Although Hollywood couples are a staple of TV news and celebrity magazines, they usually do not sell movie tickets. The biggest stars, including Tom Cruise-Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe-Meg Ryan, find the going rough when they hit the big screen with their squeezes.

"In today's media machine, you can see Hollywood couples wherever you look," says Brandon Gray of BoxOfficeMojo.com. "If you can see them on TV or on every magazine cover, why would you want to spend money to see it in a theater?"

Gigli's advertising campaign didn't help matters, featuring Ben and J. Lo cooing and ogling each other — just as they do daily in the tabloids. The romantic couples from Hollywood's past, such as Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, were typically seen embracing only in theaters. That sold tickets.

"Obviously we're disappointed," Sony's Steve Elzer says. "The filmmakers, stars and studios did everything possible to support the film. We did everything we could do."

Raunch, on the other hand, remains a solid performer. American Wedding, the third installment of the American Pie franchise, met most analysts' expectations with $34.3 million, topping the chart. Wedding bumped off Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, which fell 39% for $20.1 million and a total of $69.1 million. Spy Kids was No. 2. Final numbers are due today.

Eminem wants ex-schoolmate suit dismissed
 
Eminem wants ex-schoolmate suit dismissed
DETROIT (AP) — Eminem wants a Macomb County judge to dismiss a $1 million lawsuit that a former schoolmate filed against him. The Grammy-winning rapper, born Marshall Mathers III, is scheduled to appear Aug. 18 in Macomb County Circuit Court to ask Judge Deborah Servitto to dismiss the case, The Detroit News reported Monday.

An ex-schoolmate of Eminem says the rapper's song "Brain Damge" hurt his reputation.
By Kevin Mazur, AP

DeAngelo Bailey of Roseville sued Eminem in 2001. He claimed the 30-year-old rapper's song "Brain Damage," which named Bailey as a bully, damaged his reputation and his own ability to launch a music career.

Eminem's lawyer, Peter Peacock, filed a motion for dismissal last week, claiming Bailey is trying to cash in on his client's fame. Peacock also said the song is true because Bailey beat up Eminem when they were in the fourth and sixth grades at Roseville's Dort Elementary School.

Eminem's mother sued the Roseville school district in 1982, claiming school-day beatings left her son with headaches, nausea and a tendency toward anti-social behavior. The lawsuit was dismissed.
