Brittany Murphy passed away this weekend after being found unconscious by her mother in her home. As of now, no foul play is suspected.
The star’s popularity had diminished of late, but her career contains well known films like Clueless (1995), Girl, Interrupted (1999), and Happy Feet (2006). I am sorry to see her go. She was one of the stars who couldn’t quite make it off the ground, but who I always hoped would be a success.
Rest in peace Brittany.
The first teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 hit the net on Monday to much excited clapping from at least this fan. But my reaction was slightly less enthusiastic when I heard director David Yates’ comments about his vision for the new films.
According to Yates, the upcoming movie (which will cover the first half of Deathly Hallows) will be different from anything we have already seen in the series. Because the Golden Trio is running from the Death Eaters in muggle England, this film will be grittier and less fanciful than its predecessors. I’m all for bringing greater gravity to this chapter in the story by adding more realism. This is the beginning of the final battle and that should give the audience a taste for the reality of the fight.
What has the internet hopping and me concerned, however, is a different revelation from Mr. Yates. Apparently this movie will feature a nude sex scene between Harry and Hermione. Yes, you read that correctly. Harry and Hermione are getting it on in the next film adaption of this children’s book series.
HP fans may wonder where this scene was in the final novel. Hint: it wasn’t. Unless Yates got his own special “adult” copy.
I guess this is Yates’ way of letting all of the series’ prepubescent fans know that Harry’s a big boy now.

The King of Pop is dead, yes we all know. If you don’t then you have been living under a rock for the past several weeks. But enough about the King, I want to know what you all think of the media attention he has been getting now. I enjoy my entertainment news as much as the rest of them, but what belongs in the entertainment world should stay there. Do not get me wrong, I believe that Jackson deserves media attention but should it have garnered the media attention that it did? One thing I have come to recognize via the King’s demise, is that America wants to be entertained. Our news is not really news anymore, it is whatever will entertain us. Everything about our culture has come to this, from our films to our news to our politics; it’s all about being entertained. But enough of my ranting. What do you think? Did Jackson deserve all the media attention his death brought about or was it over the top?

Ok, puppets just aren’t my thing, but apparently Mel Gibson is going to be hanging out with one in his next film. I don’t know what the rest of you think, but this is just weird. Gibson is playing a depressed man who is comforted only by wearing a hand-puppet. Yeah it is strange.
