Willie Nelson - Round Rock, TX
There is a very interesting phenomenon going on with me right now. As my like for Jessica Simpson increases, my dislike for Ashlee Simpson increases. Hell, I feel like Einstein right now.
Catherine Hardwicke looks awfully happy standing next to Billy Burke.
Billy Corgan and his "guest." Much better choice than his last "guest."
I haven't seen Bridget Fonda on a red carpet in a long time.
Hell that is more action than Chris Kattan probably got when he was married. That is Pooja Kumar doing the kissing. On the other side is Neha Dhupia.
Lets see. George Hamilton is about 70 and the woman is what? 30?
Halle Berry got a cake. Is it wrong for me to want her to deliver it to the basement?
Ice-T dreaming of Coco.
Jennifer Aniston with an umbrella holder and a fan.
It must be to protect her valuable acting skills. She looks good though.
"Drew?"
"Has anyone seen Drew?"
"Umm. Drew?"
"Drew!"
"Excuse me. Drew?"
"Where the hell did she go?"
Josh Duhamel doing yard work. Enough said.
James Franco on the set of his new movie.
This is right before Kate Moss got on a yacht. Literally within five seconds of getting on the yacht the dress was off.
You really don't see suits this shiny. Is it plastic?
No it isn't Hailey Glassman going after Jon Gosselin, it is Mariska Hargitay and Stephean Rea on the set of Law & Order.
"Daddy. The ice cream man is over there. Why are we over here?"
Ummm, yeah, Rachel Dratch everyone.
It was Robert Pattinson's turn yesterday to fly to Vancouver.
Seth Meyers is not a bad looking guy.
Probably the best picture I have seen of Taylor Momsen.

New Moon Is Going To Be Awful

As good as the film Twilight has done at the box office, the prospects of New Moon doing as well took a big hit over the weekend. Apparently Catherine Hardwicke, who directed Twilight felt the script that was done for New Moon is nowhere near ready to be shot. However, her bosses at the studio think it is just fine like it is and want to be as greedy as possible. So, what that means is they want to have the film in the theatres by the end of next year. Hardwicke didn't think that making a good film and meeting that timeline was possible so she was shown the door.

The thing is Hardwicke is a very fast director. She isn't a James Cameron type. But, when she says the script is bad and needs work, you need to believe her. The second film is always tough when you are going to be shooting multiple films. The stars all have egos from the success of the first film. Everything is being rushed because the studio wants to make a ton of money quickly. Budgets usually skyrocket because the studio knows they have a gold mine and they don't care. Throw in a script which will probably be changed as they are filming and you have a recipe for disaster.

The studio probably knows this but is so confident that fans will still throw down their money to see the film, that they really don't care. They will when no one comes to see the film after the first weekend.
